Marasco (Logico): “Quaeris investigation confirms that gambling addiction is fought together”

“From the survey it emerges first of all that the interviewed sample does not believe very much in the effectiveness of bans and restrictions and we can measure this every day with the application of the advertising ban, which not only has not served to combat gambling addiction, but has even favored the emergence of illegality in online gaming “. This is how Moreno Marasco, president of Logico comments on the opinion poll ‘Italians and gambling’ carried out by Quaeris and presented on the sidelines of the ‘Legal game the need for reorganization’ event organized by the institute together with the Italian Association of Public Games Operators (EgpSipe), Totoricevitori Sports Syndicate and the Italian Tobacconist Federation. “And more than restrictions from above – continues Marasco – the self-exclusion of the user from the game or from certain types of games can be much more effective. We too, like the promoters of today’s conference, believe that introducing the measure of the register of self-exclusions can also give excellent results to physical gaming, as has been the case in online for several years. ” Remote gaming – concludes Marasco – is less known than terrestrial gaming but has long used very valid tools to prevent access to minors and fight money laundering and problem gambling “.
