BU Research Blog

This year as part of ESRC Festival of Social Science BU’s Responsible Gambling Research Group is running the 2^nd edition of “Hidden stories of online gamblers” art exhibition. The subject is quite sensitive and causes a lot of disputes especially if you or your family were affected by it.

Online gambling is accessible to many today. Persuasive tech design and excessive marketing are adding to the problem as opposed to minimising harm.

BU’s Responsible Gambling research group works on ensuring technology and data usage practices are empowering customers not the industry.

This year we partnered up with Stuart Lee who through his unique aesthetic was able to share his personal story and communicate our research in a different way.
