Study on online poker

The outcomes from the first ever epidemiological diagnosis of the actual gambling behavior attested by a sizable sample of 3,445 online poker players over the spread of 2 years are soon to be published. The study was administered by the Division on Addictions, Cambridge Health Alliance, a Harvard Medical School teaching affiliate. This cooperation portrays the long co-operation with bwin, the world’s leading online gaming provider of online texas holdem.
The co-operation between bwin and the Division on Addictions was formed in 2005 to provide a scientific base for the assessment of apparent gaming behavior and its outcomes for responsible gaming. Two key results beginning to arise from the research initiative are:
A.  The legend of online gambling as a prevailing tempting force has been empirically rebutted. 
     Online gambling has no greater problem potential than offline gambling.
B.  Responsible gambling measures show result.
The present research, which examines the conduct of Internet poker players over the course of two years, is the world’s longest and the first ever epidemiological study of its kind.
