The journal publishes articles on a wide variety of issues of relevance to the broad subject area, and topics of current debate. Authors are allowed considerable freedom, subject to the maintenance of professional standards, in how they treat their areas of enquiry. While technical and specialist theoretical papers are encouraged, papers which contribute to public discussion and which are applicable to the practical concerns of decision-makers are especially welcome.

The latest edition includes the below articles:

• A Multilevel Mixed Effects Model to Evaluate Effectiveness of Treatment for Problem Gambling by Levi Pérez, Ana Rodríguez, Andrey Shmarev

• Efficient Micro-Behaviors in Pari-mutuel Betting System and FL Bias by Kazutaka Kurihara, Yohei Tutiya

Tom Chalmers, Managing Director of Legend Times, parent company of UBP, commented: “This journal was designed to provide an outlet for academics and practitioners who have an interest in the economic and business aspects of the rapidly growing international gambling market and it continues to go from strength to strength.

“The addition of Levi as Associate Editor and the expansion of the Editorial Board will add a new dimension to the journal going forward and is the perfect springboard to address even more prominent issues in the gambling community from an international perspective and further extend its ever-growing readership.”
