Participation in fantasy sports increases annually. Wagering on fantasy sports is a form of gambling and researchers have found that fantasy sports participants are more likely to engage in other forms of sports betting than non-fantasy players; however, no published studies have examined whether there is a relationship between fantasy sports participation and gambling-related problems. Our study examined whether fantasy sports participation is associated with gambling-related problems among college students. We assessed fantasy sports participation and endorsement of DSM-5 gambling disorder (GD) criteria among a large convenience sample (N=1556) of college students via an online health survey. We found that 11.5% of respondents participated in fantasy sports in the past year, the majority of which were males. Logistic regression analyses indicated that males who play fantasy sports for money and females who play fantasy sports (for money or not) were more likely to experience gambling-related problems.
参与梦幻体育的人数逐年增加。对梦幻体育进行投注是一种赌博形式,研究人员发现,与非梦幻体育玩家相比,梦幻体育参与者更有可能参与其他形式的体育博彩;然而,尚无已发表的研究探讨梦幻体育参与与赌博相关问题之间是否存在关联。我们的研究调查了大学生参与梦幻体育是否与赌博相关问题有关。我们通过一项在线健康调查,在一个大型便利样本(N = 1556)的大学生中评估了梦幻体育参与情况以及对《精神疾病诊断与统计手册》第5版(DSM - 5)赌博障碍(GD)标准的认可情况。我们发现,11.5%的受访者在过去一年中参与了梦幻体育,其中大多数为男性。逻辑回归分析表明,为钱参与梦幻体育的男性以及参与梦幻体育(无论是否为钱)的女性更有可能出现赌博相关问题。
