- Abstract
Context: The effectiveness of the current self-exclusion system appears limited. Suspension of direct commercial solicitations by SMS and email for a long period of time after self-exclusion could limit the loss of control over gambling. Objectives: Our objective is to evaluate the impact of an optimized self-exclusion procedure by extending the suspension of direct commercial solicitations by SMS and email compared to the self-exclusion procedure alone to 9 months, on the total net loss of gamblers. Method: We will include: 2544 sports betting, poker, and horse racing players playing online at the PMU site, self-excluding for the first time AND self-excluding for 3 months or less (min 3 days). Players will be randomly assigned to the 2 arms: procedure optimized by an extension of the suspension of commercial solicitations for a total of 9 months (A) and usual procedure without extension of suspension of commercial solicitations at the end of the self-exclusion period (B). They will be evaluated on D-1 of 6 (T1), 9 (T2, main criterion), 12 (T3) and 18 (T4) months after their self-exclusion on the change of the total net loss of the last 4 weeks as well as on other criteria such as total bets per game, compulsivity, total loss per game, number and duration of game session. We will present the 9-month results of this ongoing study.
