AI for Examining Commercial Determinants of Health in Online Gaming and Gambling

Online gambling, driven by technical innovation and accessibility, poses significant challenges in regulation and public health. In Ontario, gambling participation has surged, with $63 billion in online bets last year, raising concerns about gambling-related harms. Researchers have explored machine-learning methods to identify problematic gambling, but challenges like limited user data and insufficient focus on social aspects persist. Our project addresses these gaps by using publicly available data to develop an interactive tool that highlights the social dynamics of online gambling. This tool will identify key factors, create novel visualizations, and enhance data collection, providing insights to support public health strategies and responsible gambling practices
