It seems that once again the research coming out to the general public asserting that gambling at online casinos is way more hazardous to one’s health than traditional land-based gambling exploits has proven to be a bunch of hooey. Apparently, just recently eGaming Review reported that some “research” conducted by a man by the name of Dr. Mark Griffiths detailing the ins and outs of this tried and failed argument is flawed overall and that there is little to be found within it that has any redeeming value.

This may seem harsh, but it now comes off as a broken record for different anti-gambling opponents to go to great lengths to expose online casinos for being evil when that simply isn’t the case. The studies and results from Griffiths’ most recent study have been described as invalid by the major movers and shakers associated with the Centre for the Study of Gambling at the Salford Business School in the United Kingdom.

When we talk about minimizing the harm done to internet casino gamblers, we need to also confront the misinformation that gets dispersed across the internet and through different media every single day. This latest research effort left out important data that would have served to provide real assertions and statistics instead of just mere hyperbole.

It is time for some serious backlash against these anti-gambling organizations and “experts” who spread false information to the public without any recourse. This study didn’t take into account a number of different factors such as how often the people actually gamble so all of the conclusions they were able to draw from their data is left without any legs to stand on as far as I’m concerned.
