Conversely, political efforts have been made to legalize internet gambling, but have not yet been approved. Compared to other E<\/jats:styled-content>uropean countries, slot machine gambling and casino gambling are relatively popular, whereas betting is relatively unpopular.

Problem gambling in the N<\/jats:styled-content>etherlands is relatively stable. D<\/jats:styled-content>utch research on problem gambling has a lack of longitudinal studies. Most of the epidemiological gambling studies are reported in non\u2010peer\u2010reviewed research reports, which diminishes control by independent peers on the methodology and interpretation of results. Recent efforts to enhance consistency in research methods between gambling studies over time could enhance knowledge on changes in (problem) gambling in the N<\/jats:styled-content>etherlands.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/add.12213","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,6]],"date-time":"2013-06-06T17:07:55Z","timestamp":1370538475000},"page":"1066-1071","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":23,"title":["Gambling and problem gambling in the N<\/scp>etherlands"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"109","author":[{"given":"Anna E.","family":"Goudriaan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Arkin Mental Health Care Amsterdam The Netherlands"},{"name":"Amsterdam Institute for Addiction Research Department of Psychiatry Academic Medical Centre University of Amsterdam Amsterdam the Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,6,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","unstructured":"Dutch Government Coalition.Report No.: Section VIII.
