==Background== Gambling and betting is an important part of many people's lives as it gives them great pleasure all over the world. However, every gambling and betting product can have negative consequences; some individuals develop a recurrent, maladaptive pattern of gambling behaviour which can develop into pathological gambling. The individual risk depends on the personality of the player as well as on the characteristics of the gambling product. So, the addiction risk of e.g. a lottery should differ fundamentally from that of a slot machine, whereby criteria such as the size and frequency of a jackpot or the type of offer (offline versus online) can significantly influence the risk potential.
