The gambling market in the Federal Republic of Germany and the helpseeking of pathological gamblers

G Meyer. J Gambl Stud. 1992 Mar.

Abstract

The development of the gambling market in the Federal Republic of Germany since the middle of the seventies and data on pathological gamblers seeking help are described. The continuously increasing supply, together with increases in turnover, was followed-with some temporal delay-by an increase in the number of gamblers who sought advice and treatment. Preliminary measures taken by the health authorities as well as some consequences of pathological gambling are discussed.
