Community Care Gaming will collaborate with academic organisations and specialist research partners to extend the current literature on niche aspects of gambling or gaming to include safer gambling for those over 50s; illegal or grey market gambling; gambling influencers.
In recent years, there has been a rapidity of gaming and gambling combinations most commonly noticed in Twitch, YouTube and Kick streaming platforms. Influencers, with their considerable and active follower base, play a crucial role in transforming the landscape of gambling-related content in the gaming community.
This literature review introduces the unregulated and unlicensed ecosystem of gambling on the Dark Web. It is the first of two reports that will be published over the next few months. Conducted over a two-week period, this desktop literature review aims to (i) shed light on the challenges of researching the Dark Web and (ii) provide an overview of gambling within the Dark Web, based on existing literature.
