The Grinders : Making Meaning in the Online and Offline Lives of Internet Poker Players
2015
Problem gambling affects only 1–3 percent of the gambling population but still most research on gambling is problem-oriented (Raento 2011, 76). Thus, the negative “cover story” (Gubrium 2008, 512) of gambling needs to be unsettled and complemented, because it obscures the complexities of the lived reality of mainstream gambling culture (Reith & Dobbie 2011; Matilainen & Raento 2014, 433; Jouhki 2011a, 79). Most gamblers are not the marginalized, addicted persons so often envisioned in both research and the media (Vuorento 2011; Binde 2007, 152–157): the mainstream of gambling is about entertainment, excitement, mental challenge and social value. To some it is also a profession. This article…
Pokeridiivat ja ruutukunkut : pokeriammattilaisuus ja sukupuoli suomalaisessa mediassa
2010
Rahapelaamista on pitkään pidetty paheellisena ja riippuvuutta aiheuttavana toimintana, jonka on mielletty kuuluvan nimenomaan miehille. Nykyisin pelaaminen on kuitenkin harrastus yhä useammalle, ja naispelaajiakin on aiempaa enemmän. Rahapelaamisen hyväksyttävyyden ja suosion kasvu on käynyt käsi kädessä rajoitusten purkamisen, pelien saatavuuden sekä teknologioiden kehittymisen kanssa. Työelämän arvojen muuttuminen ja työn viihteellistyminen ovat puolestaan luoneet mahdollisuuden uudenlaiselle ammattilaisuudelle. Muutaman viime vuoden ajan media on omalta osaltaan vaikuttanut pelaamisen suosion kasvuun ja esittänyt pokeriammattilaisuuden vaihtoehtona perinteiselle palkkatyölle. Ajatus pok…

The Mediating Role of Psychological Distress in Excessive Gambling among Young People: A Four-Country Study
2021
Background and aims: Loneliness and a low sense of mastery are associated with excessive gambling, but the underlying processes of these relationships remain unstudied. Because psychological distress can increase vulnerability to excessive gambling, we investigated its mediating role in these relationships among young people. To meet the need for cross-country research, we also observed how these relationships occur in four countries with different cultures. Design, setting, and participants: Demographically balanced cross-sectional survey data were collected from 15–25-year-olds in Finland (n = 1200

AbstractThe present study examined the multiple micro- and macro-level factors that affect individuals’ financial behaviour under economic strain.

Finnish time series data that consisted of five cross-sectional nationally representative surveys were used (n = 10 043).
