In this study, the differences in behavior between two groups of online gamblers were investigated. The first group comprised individuals who played casino games, and the second group comprised those who bet on sports events. The focal point of the study was on problem gambling, and the objective was to identify and quantify both common and distinct traits that are characteristic to casino and sports problem gamblers. To this end, a set of gamblers from the gaming operator LeoVegas was studied. Each gambler was ascribed two binary variables: one separating casino players from sports bettors, and one indicating whether there was an exclusion related to problem gambling. For each of the four combinations of the two variables, 2500 gamblers were randomly selected for a thorough comparison, resulting in a total of 10,000 participants. The comparison was performed by constructing two predictive models, estimating risk scores using these models, and scrutinizing the risk scores by means of a technique originating from collaborative game theory. The number of cash wagers per active day contributed the most to problem-gambling-related exclusion in the case of sports betting, whereas the volume of money spent contributed the most to this exclusion in the case of casino players. The contribution of the volume of losses per active day was noticeable in the case of both casino players and sports bettors. For casino players, gambling via desktop computers contributed positively to problem-gambling-related exclusion. For sports bettors, it was more concerning when the individual used mobile devices. The number of approved deposits per active day contributed to problem-gambling-related exclusion to a larger extent for sports bettors than casino players. The main conclusion is that the studied explanatory variables contribute differently to problem-gambling-related exclusion among casino players and sports bettors.

在这项研究中，调查了两组在线赌徒之间的行为差​​异。第一组由玩赌场游戏的人组成，第二组由投注体育赛事的人组成。该研究的重点是问题赌博，目的是识别和量化赌场和体育问题赌徒的共同和独特特征。为此，游戏运营商LeoVegas 的一组赌徒 被研究了。每个赌徒都被归为两个二元变量：一个将赌场玩家与体育博彩者分开，另一个表明是否存在与问题赌博相关的排除。对于两个变量的四种组合中的每一种，随机选择了 2500 名赌徒进行彻底比较，结果总共有 10,000 名参与者。比较是通过构建两个预测模型、使用这些模型估计风险分数并通过源自协作博弈论的技术仔细检查风险分数来进行的。在体育博彩的情况下，每个活跃日的现金投注数量对与问题赌博相关的排除贡献最大，而在赌场玩家的情况下，花费的金额对这种排除的贡献最大。在赌场玩家和体育博彩玩家的情况下，每个活跃日的损失量的贡献都很明显。对于赌场玩家而言，通过台式电脑进行的赌博对与问题赌博相关的排斥做出了积极贡献。对于体育博彩玩家来说，个人何时使用移动设备更令人担忧。对于体育博彩玩家而言，与赌场玩家相比，每个活跃日批准的存款数量在更大程度上导致了与问题赌博相关的排除。主要结论是，所研究的解释变量对赌场玩家和体育博彩玩家中与问题赌博相关的排斥有不同的贡献。当个人使用移动设备时更令人担忧。对于体育博彩玩家而言，与赌场玩家相比，每个活跃日批准的存款数量在更大程度上导致了与问题赌博相关的排除。主要结论是，所研究的解释变量对赌场玩家和体育博彩玩家中与问题赌博相关的排斥有不同的贡献。当个人使用移动设备时更令人担忧。对于体育博彩玩家而言，与赌场玩家相比，每个活跃日批准的存款数量在更大程度上导致了与问题赌博相关的排除。主要结论是，所研究的解释变量对赌场玩家和体育博彩玩家中与问题赌博相关的排斥有不同的贡献。
