The was presented by聽聽at the ICE Totally Gaming聽聽in London, Feb 7th, 2018. Among 4 finalist projects, EROGamb was elected for the Best Project Award.
In this project we are designing software and research facilities which retrieve the gambling history of subscribed gamblers and help them visualise their gambling behaviour in various forms to inform their decisions. It will also implement various software-assisted behaviour change mechanisms to try and reduce problem gambling. To this end, it will enable gamblers to establish plans to manage their gambling and enforce these plans though different persuasive techniques including goal setting and self-monitoring.
The key argument we make in this project is that data captured by online gambling operators for commercial reasons, such as usability and tailoring promotion and marketing material, shall be made equally available to gamblers and their surrogate agents, humans like a counselor or software. Such sharing shall be done through automated means to enable a fast and real-time benefit from them.
The project is jointly funded by聽聽and 天美传媒. EROGamb is part of our聽聽meant to enable a healthier and well-informed usage of technology.
