Will you post results and a quick summary of observations? Always good to see where this stuff ends up.

Done.

I very recently closed all my online betting accounts as I felt it was FAR too accessible and easy to lose fiver after fiver with no real sense of true cost.

Done.

The main problem with bookies is that they make it very accessible to have a bet if you lose, not so much if you win. Just Today, a nameless local William Hills shop wouldn't lay me £200 on a 13/8 shot, offered £50 instead:annoyed:

Relatable anecdote for the student there.

Done.

I did a tally up a little while ago of clubs in the Premier League and Championship and it was something like over 50% of them have gambling sponsors on their shirts.

People in here may know the answer actually: what does an 'official betting partner' actually mean? It is just some betting company throwing money for a club so their logo can appear on websites etc?

Thanks to everyone who's filled it in

Feel free to drop me a PM with your email address and I'll send you the results once it's finished!

Done.

So many people I know, including myself will admit that sometimes it doesn't really feel like you're losing real money

Correct. I'm going to have to try so hard not to make the dissertation one massive rant

Yes. As far as I can gather. In some cases the company can offer 'unique' offers to fans of that club...

A real highlight of that was, if SOMEHOW I won, say £80....I'd cash out £60 and then throw £20 on sky roulette within the app.

I'd say to myself "well done for cashing out the 60" when really I should have been slamming myself for being idiotic and just losing TWENTY POUNDS in about 30 seconds. It's crazy.

Done. My answers will look like I'm a problem gambler, when actually I'm just a matched better!


Can I ask what answers you're attempting to find? I ask because you don't need a dissertation to tell us that gambling is way too accessible - that much is obvious. Are you looking to discover the most effective ways of gambling advertising, or something else?
