Safer Gambling Messaging (phase II) - An Impact Evaluation

Messaging has an important role to play in reducing gambling harm. Safer gambling messaging comprises, for example, advertisements that appear on television, or notifications that appear on-screen when logged into an online gambling platform. Recent evidence indicates that a generic warning label approach may not be effective , and consequently a more individualised, operator-led approach might have more impact. However, much of the evidence is from laboratory studies or experiments conducted away from the environments in which people would normally gamble and there are some questions about how well the evidence might generalise to a more natural setting. This impact evaluation aims to complement existing research by examining safer gambling messaging as implemented by gambling operators on their customers in live play.

Safer Gambling Messaging Project evaluation (phase II) - A Process Evaluation

A summative process evaluation of phase two of the Safer Gambling Messaging Project was conducted to understand how the project was implemented, and the factors that influenced its effectiveness. The process evaluation aims to complement the findings from the impact evaluation. Part one of the process evaluation involved exploring the co-creation process, including the perceptions and experiences of the process of operators co-designing the messaging interventions with Revealing Reality, and to identify any factors that influenced the efficiency of this process. The second part of the process evaluation focused on the implementation of interventions, including the barriers and facilitators to intervention design and delivery, and factors influencing how well it was perceived to have worked.

Ben's story

"No one ever talks about losses. So, it's really hard to even know if someone's got a problem or not, because if you haven’t won for a while – you just won’t say anything...Hearing other people’s stories that are similar to mine kind of makes you think ‘Wait a minute’… you realise you’re not a million miles away from it."

Mina's story

"I try and set myself limits to keep it under control. You can sit there and say you’re in control – but sometimes you’re not. Having a spend calculator is really helpful….it visually shows how much you’re spending. You can’t ignore it."

Adam's story

"I never thought I had a problem. I didn't want to be seen like a gambler and addict. But they're all the things that I was...I think now knowing that I can pick up the phone to someone, or I could reach out to someone and get help straight away…it might have been easier."

Danni's story

"At first I wouldn’t say anything because actually... it's not really my place to say, it's not my money. Then I thought I could help him, but I realise now that's not the case and I should have looked after myself first… I still sometimes have to remember to do that."

Joanne's story

"I never talked about anything. I wish I had, just saying stuff out loud makes such a difference… I went to group meetings and the more I spoke about my story, the more open I was. And the more I was getting asked questions and getting more involved. It was that that helped me in my recovery."
