COVID-19 and Gambling: Impacts, Transformations, and Reflections

Abstract

The portrait presented in this fact sheet is the result of extensive and non-exhaustive research conducted between March 23 and May 17, 2020. Two independent Internet searches were conducted to gather all available information related to gambling, online gambling and the COVID-19 pandemic. Since few studies have been published to date on gambling and the specific context of the health crisis, the information collected is limited to material that is accessible and available on the web at the time of data collection.
