Default Re: Who gambles online?

"There has been a great deal of study in this area. Perhaps you might consider studying the positive effects of gamboling. The purpose of research is after all to discover something new, no?"

Thanks, this is an interesting point, but although there is existing research into problem gambling, I can't agree with the sentiment that there is nothing new to find out. Internet gambling, in particular, is a relatively new field of research, and there is still a clear need for better understanding of the characteristics of people who gamble online (with and without problems).
