Male gender (OR 1.48), age between 18 and 54 (OR 1.88), and high income (OR 1.87) were associated with online gambling. We used land-based gambling as the reference group in a multinomial regression model.
The current study uses the Finnish Gambling 2019 population study sample of 18–74-year-old past-year gamblers (N = 3,077) to evaluate how these gambling modes differ in terms of socio-demographics, gambling participation, gambling settings, and addictive behaviors. Multimode gambling has also been distinguished as a separate mode.
Online and land-based gambling differ in terms of participation and harms.
