An Aruba gambling study has been delivered to Justice Minister Arthur Dowers to support future regulation, prevention and oversight, NoticiaCla reported on October 29. RE-Quest Research & Consultancy conducted the independent research into adults’ participation in games of chance.
Research examines participation and risks
The study is titled “Onderzoek Kansspeldeelname Aruba.” According to the report, it examines participation, risk factors and possible consequences for the community. NoticiaCla states that the announcement did not provide figures or specific findings, so the report cannot support a claim about the prevalence of problem gambling.
Planned regulator’s responsibilities outlined
Dowers said the research would help strengthen oversight. The report describes the future Kansspelautoriteit Aruba as responsible for permits, action against illegal activity, money-laundering prevention and consumer protection. It points readers to the government website for the full report.
