To understand the risks faced by suicidal gamblers in the online environment, 2 studies examined the behaviour of an online search engine. A series of Google searches in 2021 used key terms such as 'suicide' and 'gambling' that might be employed by a suicidal gambler. During these searches browser 'hits' included opportunities to gamble. Webpages (N = 200) offered to a potentially suicidal gambler were primarily categorised as: other suicides (20%), treatment providers (8.5%), online casinos (7%); politics (22%), academic (23.5%). From a Google search providing 1,090 hits, the links to 113 online casinos were classified as a function of Domain Name hijacking, Metatag Stuffing, Error 404, and presence of Malware. There were significant relationships between the size of the businesses whose Domain Names were hijacked, and the presence of Malware. The deliberate use by webpage designers of the word 'suicide' to attract customers to online casinos appears inappropriate and ethically questionable. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: pictorial research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
