Electronic Journal Of Gambling Issues
Gambling has the potential to become addictive, causing people to become preoccupied with gambling over other life events such as going to work, losing control with the money and time they're spending, suffering negative consequences such as guilt and depression, and gambling to fulfill a need (Sussman & Sussman, 2011). The Electronic Journal of Gambling Issues: eGambling (EJGI) offers an Internet-based forum for developments in gambling-related research, policy and treatment as well as personal accounts about gambling and gambling behaviour. Through publishing peer-reviewed articles about gambling as a social phenomenon and the prevention and treatment of gambling problems, it is our aim is to help make sense of how gambling affects us all. Psychological vulnerability and problem gambling: An application of Durand Jacobs' general theory of addictions to electronic gaming machine playing in Australia. Journal of Gambling Studies, 28, 665-690.
