How much have you won or lost? Personalized behavioral feedback about gambling expenditures regulates play

作者:

Highlights:

• Subjective recall of gambling spend differs from player-account data.

• We provided players with their actual spend and tracked subsequent spend.

• Players who under-estimated their losses didn’t perceive a change in their spend.

• Data on actual play, however, indicated significantly reduced spend.

• Providing players with accurate spend information moderates play.
