Study says ‘Play Breaks’ Help Gamblers Spend Less. Play Bre breaks make spending fall after 10 deposits. The study focused on introducing a 60-minute mandatory break in a gamer's daily session. It took data from responsible gambling tools. Skillonnet forwarded data for online casinos in the UK applying to 2,0021 players.
Study says ‘Play Breaks’ help gamblers spend less. Demographics in Control and Study Group remain the same. People who deposited more than ten times during the control period were at least 38 years old and they were predominantly female.
During mandatory breaks period, 64% of the depositors were female. The age groups coincided for both groups. The study suggests that play breaks are helpful and help shape gambling policies in the United Kingdom.
A mandatory play break in an online casino setting seems to prevent overspending during a short period of time.
