When it comes to gambling self-assessment tests, honesty is the best policy. Some of the most recognizable responsible gambling organizations use questionnaires, like this 2-minute quiz, to help players spot the early signs of addiction.

However, if admitting to risky gambling habits could lead to exclusion, it begs the question: are players being truthful or not?

The above video is the second snippet from a recent interview between our CEO, Professor Dr. Andreas Ditsche, and behavioral expert Professor Dr. Mark Griffiths. In the short video, the pair discuss honesty in self-tests and the fact that not all players confess or even realize they have a gambling problem.

The full interview between Prof. Dr. Ditsche and Prof. Dr. Griffiths covers several topics related to gambling behavior – from how gamblers develop addiction to how gambling companies have a responsibility to protect players.

They furthermore talk about the influence of gambling ads on problem gamblers and what operators can do to help reduce addiction.
