Sally Geisenberg, a professor of psychology and co-director of the Center for Brain Research at the University of Sydney, has published a research report on gaming in a virtual environment in recent years. The results of a study conducted at Southern Cross University (Australia) clearly show that the main causes of gambling addiction are not found in online casinos.

"My research focuses on understanding gambling psychology and other behavioral attitudes, especially in emerging technologies, including online gambling. "My research aims to develop harm reduction strategies and improve well-being."

The results of Gainsbury's study were published under the title "Online Gambling Attitudes: The Relationship between Online Gambling and Gambling". Research has shown that there is strong evidence and argument that online gambling is not a significant problem. At the same time, the professor continues to research and look for the causes of addiction. Sally Gainsbury thinks that more traditional casinos may be the main source of gambling addiction.

As it turned out, online casino players have better control over their own spending process. In addition, family members help to strengthen this control, and while playing on illegal sites, it can be said that it does not provide such an opportunity, as certain factors in illegal casinos may reinforce the desire to continue the game. Control mechanisms on illegal sites are almost non-existent. The player cannot control his own budget and playing on unlicensed platforms, unlike legal online casinos, is really a major source of addiction.

This study is not the first of Sally Gainsbury's works. His previous study, Online Games in Australia, was published under this title. Gainsbury's work and research attracts many heads of government agencies across the country, which in part contributes to the organization and development of responsible gambling around the world.

Recall that according to one study, about 1% of the world's population is addicted to gambling. Given that many online casinos offer the ability to use deposit bonuses, players' financial risks can be reduced to almost zero.
