On a new episode of the Gaming News Canada Show presented by Bede Gaming, Dr. Michael Naraine joins host Steve McAllister to continue the conversation they had for last week’s newsletter regarding a Toronto Star investigation into research commissioned by iGaming Ontario that wasn’t released.
Naraine, a professor in the sports management program at Brock University and a member of the Institute on Sports Wagering and Gaming at San Diego State University, expanded on his reaction to Brendan Kennedy’s reporting in The Star, including criticism of iGaming Ontario’s decision to tender the research project five years ago and eventually award it to the Responsible Gambling Council.
He also talked about the creation of the Alberta Gambling Research Institute more than 25 years ago and the work done by AGRI, including new research about problem gambling rates in Ontario since the launch of the province’s regulated sports betting and igaming market. Naraine believes Ontario should exploit the brainpower at universities across the province to create its own institute , and also called on the provincial government to increase the tax rate on regulated operators to help fund research around problem gambling.
