  • Anxiety and Distress Tolerance as Mediators between Complex Posttraumatic Stress Disorder Symptoms and Gambling Severity in Veterans
    Glen Dighton, Seb Whiteford, Martyn Quigley, Simon Dymond
    Journal of Gambling Studies, 2026
    Experiences of gambling-related harm are significant concerns among military veterans, particularly those with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and complex PTSD (CPTSD). CPTSD, as outlined in the ICD-11, includes disturbances in self-organisation (DSO), encompassing affective dysregulation, negative self-concept, and interpersonal difficulties. While anxiety and distress tolerance (DT) have been implicated in PTSD-related maladaptive behaviours, their roles in the relationship between CPTSD and gambling risk severity remain unclear. This study examines whether anxiety and DT mediate the association between CPTSD symptom clusters (PTSD and DSO) and gambling severity in UK Armed Forces veterans. A cross-sectional study was conducted with UK ex-service personnel ( n = 346) who completed the International Trauma Questionnaire for CPTSD, the Generalised Anxiety Disorder scale, the Distress Tolerance Scale, and the Problem Gambling Severity Index. Mediation analyses were conducted using bootstrapped regression models. Anxiety was found to be a significant indirect pathway between CPTSD symptoms and gambling risk severity, with a stronger indirect effect observed for DSO symptoms than PTSD-specific symptoms. In contrast, DT did not show a significant indirect pathway, indicating that deficits in DT may not be central to gambling behaviours in veterans with CPTSD. These findings highlight the critical role of anxiety in gambling-related harm among veterans with symptoms of CPTSD, suggesting that interventions targeting anxiety regulation may be beneficial than those targeting distress tolerance in reducing gambling risk severity. Future research should explore additional potential pathways, such as impulsivity and trauma-related dissociation to further clarify associations between CPTSD and gambling severity.

  • Relapse in disordered gambling: a systematic review from a biopsychosocial perspective
    Jamie Torrance, Martyn Quigley, Conor Heath, Alecia Cousins, Glen Dighton, Simon Wright, Simon Dymond, Philip Newall
    Addiction Research and Theory, 2026
    Background<br/>Relapse is common among individuals undergoing treatment for gambling disorder (GD). Understanding the biological, psychological, and social (biopsychosocial (BPS)) factors that influence relapse in GD is important to guide clinical practice and improve treatment efficacy. However, evidence synthesis in this area is warranted to provide clarity and cohesion to the literature.<br/><br/>Method<br/>A systematic review of empirical research (2015–2026) was conducted. Included studies focused on factors that either predicted relapse in GD, or those that offered protection against relapse. Findings were synthesized according to the BPS model (PROSPERO ID: CRD42024521445).<br/><br/>Results<br/>Twenty-six studies were included in the review. Overall, studies lacked heterogeneity, with most conducted in Spain (n = 19) and deriving from the same participant groups (n = 14). Biological factors such as younger age were associated with higher rates of GD relapse. Psychological predictors encompassed alcohol/substance use, personality traits (higher harm avoidance and lower self-directedness), cognitive factors (cognitive distortions, low cognitive flexibility, impulsivity), and poor psychopathological state. Social factors such as marital status (being single, divorced, or separated), lower education levels, involvement in crime, and exposure to gambling advertising also contributed to relapse risk. Relatedly, familial support, engaging in meaningful activities, and attendance at self-help meetings were protective against relapse.<br/><br/>Conclusions<br/>Overall, a broad range of BPS factors influence GD relapse. Despite the lack of heterogeneity in the included studies, these findings may contribute to better therapeutic understanding and practice. Expanding this research area is crucial for improving long-term recovery outcomes in GD.
  • Electronic Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (e-SBIRT) for Gambling Harm: A Mixed-methods Acceptability Study
    Simon Wright, Jessica Smith, Glen Dighton, Martyn Quigley, Simon Dymond
    Journal of Gambling Studies, 2025
    Gambling harm is a significant public health burden, yet treatment uptake is low. Electronic screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (e-SBIRT) programmes have potential to increase uptake and improve treatment outcomes. However, no studies to date have investigated e-SBIRT in the context of gambling. We conducted a single-arm mixed-methods study of acceptability of e-SBIRT for gambling. Quantitative acceptability was indicated by users’ perceived satisfaction, impact and helpfulness of the e-SBIRT. Qualitative acceptability was explored using semi-structured interviews. Participants (n = 63), pre-screened for gambling severity, reported high levels of satisfaction with the e-SBIRT, found it helpful, and were more likely to seek treatment. Participants with higher gambling severity scores found the e-SBIRT more acceptable and were more likely to seek treatment following the intervention. Qualitative feedback (n = 7) supported the e-SBIRT’s acceptability. The present findings support the acceptability of e-SBIRT for gambling. Further research is required to refine the intervention and examine its effectiveness with those with gambling harm.
  • Screening and Assessment of Gambling in Military Populations: A Systematic Review and Gap Analysis
    Chloe L. Rayner, Samantha Treacy, Glen Dighton, Hannah Champion, Simon Dymond
    Current Addiction Reports, 2025
    Abstract Purpose of Review This review evaluates the use of assessment and screening tools for gambling behaviour in military populations. Although military personnel and veterans face elevated risks, most available tools were developed for general populations and may not account for military-specific factors. The review identifies the screening and assessment measures used in military population studies, assesses their psychometric properties, and highlights key methodological gaps through a structured gap analysis. Recent Findings Across 46 studies, 28 screening or assessment tools were identified, including commonly used measures such as the PGSI, SOGS, BBGS, GRCS, MAGS, and NODS-CLiP. While these tools vary in length and purpose, none were specifically designed or validated for use with military populations. Validation studies showed inconsistent reliability, sensitivity, and specificity. Notably, no tools adequately reflected military-relevant issues such as deployment stress, occupational impact, or co-occurring mental health conditions. Barriers to accurate screening, including stigma and underreporting, further complicate assessment in this context. Summary There is a critical need for the development of validated, military-specific screening and assessment tools that address the unique experiences and risks within this population. Existing measures may underestimate or misclassify gambling-related harm, limiting early identification and effective intervention. Future research should prioritise the design and validation of tailored tools that can support accurate screening and assessment, reduce stigma, and inform better-targeted prevention and treatment strategies for military personnel and veterans.
  • Demographic characteristics, gambling engagement, mental health, and associations with harmful gambling risk among UK Armed Forces serving personnel
    Matthew Jones, H Champion, G Dighton, J Larcombe, M Fossey, S Dymond
    BMJ Military Health, 2025
    IntroductionHarmful gambling negatively impacts individuals, families and communities. Growing international evidence indicates that the Armed Forces (AF) community may be at a comparatively higher risk of experiencing harm from gambling than the general population. The current study sought to identify general predictors of harmful gambling and gambling engagement among UK AF serving personnel (AFSP).MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional, exploratory survey to identify associations between demographic factors, mental health, gambling engagement and gambling type in a sample (N=608) of AFSP.ResultsMost of the sample reported past-year gambling, with 23% having experienced harm. Male gender, younger age and lower educational attainment all predicted harmful gambling, as did mental health variables of prior generalised anxiety and post-traumatic stress symptomatology. Strategy-based gambling and online sports betting were also predictive of experiencing harm from gambling.ConclusionsThe risk of harm from gambling is associated with demographic, mental health and gambling engagement variables among AFSP. Better understanding of these predictors is important for the development of individualised treatment approaches for harmful gambling.
  • Gaming the algorithm: ‘Content hijacking’ in on-line gambling marketing
    Glen Dighton, Jamie Torrance, Philip Newall, Maira Andrade, Conor Heath
    Addiction, 2025
    Prevalent gambling marketing, particularly around professional sports, is common internationally in deregulated gambling markets [1, 2]. Some jurisdictions have limited this sports-centred marketing, either via government regulation [3, 4] or industry self-regulation [5, 6]. However, these regulations mainly focus on television, whereas, for example, on-line marketing spend is five times higher in the United Kingdom [7]. New tactics can bypass official advertising spending calculations, leading to under-reported industry expenditure figures. These same tactics simultaneously evade regulations that govern content standards and audience targeting restrictions. Content marketing is one such example and involves seeding social networks with engaging or humorous gambling content that is not overtly recognisable as advertising [8] and is especially appealing to children and young people [9]. Here, we highlight ‘content hijacking’ as a similar yet distinct new way that gambling brands are spreading brand awareness on social media. Content hijacking involves taking pre-existing social media content (such as viral memes, images or videos) that was not originally related to gambling and redistributing it with the addition of gambling brand logos or watermarks. Figure 1 shows three examples. Figure 1(a) resulted in over 753 000 views, Figure 1(b) was shared over 132 000 times, and Figure 1(c) was bookmarked (saved) over 600 times. ‘Hijacked’ content circumvents the usual algorithmic profiling of adults (typically gambling adverts are only shown to over 18-year-olds) as, other than the watermark, these posts are not gambling-related. Reflecting recent social media platform trends [10, 11], this content is often allowed to stay available and accessible to users. Like other gambling social media content, which is user-generated, content hijacking can thereby evade moderation and regulation, and enables exposure to vulnerable audiences, including children, and those at risk of harm [9, 12]. Future research will need to explore the prevalence and potential impacts of content hijacking. Notably, Figure 1’s examples are from cryptocurrency-based gambling operators, which pose users to novel risks compared to conventional on-line gambling operators [13]. Therefore, further research is needed to better understand which gambling brands are using this marketing strategy. Although many viewers might not notice the logo's link to gambling, the established attentional biases that gamblers experiencing harm exhibit toward gambling-based cues may see different effects in those who already recognise the gambling brands [14]. Even if future research shows that content hijacking yields less impact than other forms of gambling marketing, it reveals a pervasive ‘whack a mole’ issue in gambling regulation. Regulation moves slowly, and the industry can always innovate new marketing strategies or exploit regulatory loopholes, as has been observed with Belgium's and Italy's marketing bans [3, 15]. By the time that regulators have made progress with restricting one form of gambling marketing, others emerge. An on-line and borderless on-line world poses unique challenges for the regulation of gambling and prevention of gambling-related harm. Glen Dighton: Conceptualisation; writing—review and editing.

  • Gambling-related harm as experienced by UK Armed Forces veterans and affected others: a thematic framework analysis
    Glen Dighton, S Treacy, A Hoon, S Dymond
    BMJ Military Health, 2025
    Introduction Despite recognition of increased gambling vulnerability among military veterans, qualitative understanding of veterans’ lived experiences of gambling harms, including impacts on family members, remains limited. This study explores the gambling histories, service-related influences, psychosocial impacts and support-seeking behaviours of UK veterans and their affected family members. Methods Thematic framework analysis was conducted on semistructured interviews with six male veterans and three female family members recruited through social media and support settings. Participants were screened using the Problem Gambling Severity Index to confirm severity of gambling-related harm. Results Four primary themes were identified: gambling histories and trajectories, the role of the Armed Forces in gambling behaviour, psychosocial and financial impacts, and barriers and motivations for seeking support. Veterans’ gambling trajectories varied, with military life often seen to normalise gambling behaviours through accessibility, social reinforcement and stress-related coping mechanisms. Severe financial distress, relationship breakdowns, mental health issues and compromised trust characterised gambling’s psychosocial impacts. Key barriers to seeking support included stigma, pride, denial and insufficient tailored services. Conversely, family interventions and personal crises were crucial motivators driving veterans towards recovery. Conclusions This study highlights the profound and complex impacts of gambling-related harm among UK veterans and their families, emphasising military cultural factors and significant psychosocial consequences. Effective interventions must address both individual gambling behaviours and broader family dynamics. Greater availability of veteran-specific support services and stigma reduction could improve help-seeking. Future research should incorporate diverse samples, including female veterans and male family members, to enhance generalisability and intervention efficacy.
  • The Influence of Family on Gambling Behaviours: A Rapid Review of Emergent Literature
    Jessica Smith, Simon Wright, Glen Dighton, Simon Dymond, Jamie Torrance
    International Journal of Mental Health and Addiction, 2025
    The influence of the family on gambling behaviours has been widely explored. However, findings remain inconsistent, and with family structures evolving, updated evidence is needed to guide prevention strategies. A rapid review of empirical studies (2018–2024) explored the influence of the family on gambling in childhood and adulthood. Thirty-six studies, predominantly from the USA, revealed that families significantly impact gambling behaviours through two perspectives: Family Environment in Childhood and in Adulthood, respectively. Gambling may become normalised within families, and increase risk for gambling-related harm, compounded by factors such as parental relationships, income, violence, and maltreatment. Conversely, families can mitigate gambling-related harm through family-oriented interventions. Recent research on the interplay between families and gambling remains limited. Addressing this gap is crucial for developing effective harm-reduction strategies and family-based therapies. Future research should prioritise understanding the complexities of family influence on gambling behaviours.
  • Help and support for gambling harm among United Kingdom Armed Forces personnel: A mixed-methods study
    Blair Biggar, Hannah Champion, Matthew Jones, Glen Dighton, Justyn Larcombe, Matt Fossey, Simon Dymond
    Journal of Health Services Research and Policy, 2025
    Objectives To explore the accessibility of mental health and gambling related support within the United Kingdom (UK) Armed Forces and investigate potential barriers to engagement. Methods We conducted a survey of Armed Forces service personnel ( n = 438) and specialist healthcare and welfare staff ( n = 94) regarding gambling harm and related challenges. Results Personnel rarely sought on-base support and recognition of existing service provision was low. Among those who did seek help, healthcare and welfare staff were equally effective in engaging with personnel, with greater professional experience playing a key role in fostering meaningful interactions. Conclusions Improving access to specialist gambling harm support may enhance help-seeking.
