Internet gambling in problem gambling college students
Open accessAbstract
Internet gambling is popular in college students and associated with problem gambling behaviors. This study evaluated Internet gambling in 117 students participating in study evaluating brief interventions to reduce gambling; the brief interventions consisted of minimal advice, motivational enhancement therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy (1–4 sessions). Compared to their counterparts who did not gamble via the Internet (n = 60), those who reported recent Internet gambling (n = 57) wagered in greater frequencies and amounts and reported missing school more often and more problems with family and anxiety due to gambling. Recent Internet gamblers demonstrated similar reductions in gambling over time and in response to the brief interventions as non-Internet gamblers. These data suggest that Internet gambling is common in problem gambling college students, and students who wager over the Internet can benefit from brief interventions. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media New York.

In samples of patients entering gambling treatment clinics, less than 1% indicated that the Internet is their preferred modality of gambling.
“In samples of patients entering gambling treatment clinics, less than 1% indicated that the Internet is their preferred modality of gambling (Álvarez-Moya et al., 2010; Petry, 2003a; Petry et al., 2006; Petry, Weinstock, Lederwood, & Morasco, 2008).”

The Participants section (page not available) describes patients referred for gambling assessment and treatment and lists their main gambling problems, but gives no figure for Internet gambling as a preferred modality.

The Results (page unavailable) report demographic differences among pathological-gambler subtypes: women were overrepresented in the emotionally vulnerable subtype, and the antisocial-impulsive subtype had lower educational attainment. Those subtypes are defined by impulsivity, depression, and anxiety—not by different forms of gambling—so the paper does not establish the claimed difference by gambling form. (LLM, conf=0.84)

Individuals who have wagered via the Internet have substantially higher rates of problem and pathological gambling than those who have not.
“In epidemiological as well as student surveys, individuals who have wagered via the Internet have substantially higher rates of problem and pathological gambling than their counterparts who have not placed bets using the Internet (Griffiths et al., 2009; Griffiths & Wood, 2007; Griffiths & Barnes, 2008; Ladd & Petry, 2002; Matthews, Farnsworth, & Griffiths, 2009; Petry & Weinstock, 2007; Wood, Gr”

The Problem gambling section (p. 2) reports a significantly higher prevalence of problem gambling among Internet gamblers than non-Internet gamblers in the British survey. It does not separately report a rate of pathological gambling, so that part of the claim is not established by this paper. (LLM, conf=0.83)

The Introduction (p. 1) reports a U.S. survey in which Internet gamblers had significantly higher problem-gambling scores than non-Internet gamblers. The paper’s own online-poker sample included probable pathological gamblers (Problem gambling in online poker players, p. 4), but it had no non-Internet comparison group, so it does not establish a higher rate of pathological gambling among Internet gamblers.

The Problem gambling section (p. 2) reports a 5% problem-gambling prevalence among Internet gamblers and a significantly higher rate than among non-Internet gamblers. The Discussion (p. 3) says smaller UK and US studies reported a similar association. These findings support an association, but not the unqualified claim that it occurs regardless of population studied or is ubiquitous. (LLM, conf=0.86)

The Results (p. 4) report that 18% of the self-selected student online poker players were classified as probable pathological gamblers, and the Introduction (p. 1) describes a US survey finding higher problem-gambling scores among Internet gamblers. But the Introduction also reports a UK survey with no evidence that Internet gambling was problematic, while an Ontario survey did not examine problem gambling. These passages do not support the claim that high rates occur regardless of population. (LLM, conf=0.88)

This age group experiences gambling problems at disproportionately high rates.
“Very few adolescents, college students and young adults present for gambling treatment (Monaghan & Wood, 2010), even though this age group experiences gambling problems at disproportionately high rates (Dickson, Derevensky, & Gupta, 2008; Hansen & Rossow, 2008; Huang & Boyer, 2007; Molde, Pallesen, Bartone, Hystad, & Johnsen, 2009; Petry et al., 2008).”

The Results (p. 10) report that 7.8% of the youths studied were at-risk gamblers and 5.0% were probable pathological gamblers. The paper does not establish that these rates are disproportionately high relative to other age groups, and its sample of students aged 11–19 does not cover college students and young adults generally.

The Participants section (page not provided) describes 1,171 treatment-seeking patients with a mean age of 39.4 years, and reports that 90.2% had slot machines as a main gambling problem. It does not report how many gambled on the Internet; the listed game types do not establish where gambling took place. The claim about relatively few reporting Internet gambling is therefore unsupported by this paper. (LLM, conf=0.82)

Each contradiction between two passages listed here was confirmed by an independent check.
Reported Mann-Whitney U is below the minimum implied by the group counts
MinorOf the 57 recent Internet gamblers, 13 did not gamble online weekly over their lifetimes, while 7 non-recent Internet gamblers did. Those 7 must rank above those 13, accounting for at least 91 pairwise comparisons. The reported U of 55.84 is therefore too small for either orientation of this comparison.
“Recent Internet gamblers, not surprisingly, reported greater frequency of lifetime Internet gambling than their counterparts without recent Internet gambling, U = 55.84, p < .001.”
“For example, 77.2% (n = 44) of the 57 recent Internet gamblers reported wagering on the Internet weekly or more often over their lifetimes. Thirty-eight percent (n = 23) of the non-recent Internet gamblers reported some lifetime experience with Internet gambling, but only 11.6% (n = 7) of this group had ever wagered weekly or more often on the Internet.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Claims read under definition version 3 (extract-v3) on 2026-09-28.
Classified by jev-1.13-20260917 (gold-guideline-v0.2) on 2026-09-28.
Cited sources are checked by gpt-6-sol.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
