Migration is a risk factor for gambling-related harms. Little research has been conducted on gambling and gambling harms among migrant groups in Finland, but there are indications that gambling participation is high among migrants also in this context. Russian speakers constitute the largest migrant group in Finland. This study focuses on the experiences and views of Russian speakers in Finland on the Finnish gambling system and its relationship to gambling harms. The study is based on the results of qualitative data collected on gambling experiences among Russian-speaking residents of Finland. The data consist of an online survey directed at individuals who gamble (N = 26) and interviews conducted among family members of those gambling (N = 3). Russian speakers in Finland view gambling as highly normalised in the Finnish society. This normalisation reinforced by availability, accessibility, and state involvement. Russian speakers also have perspective on how to better prevent and treat gambling harms in Finland. Involving migrants with experience of different gambling systems can provide critical insight on established practices in gambling systems.
移民是与赌博相关危害的一个风险因素。芬兰针对移民群体中的赌博及赌博危害开展的研究很少，但有迹象表明，在这种情况下，移民中的赌博参与率也很高。说俄语的人是芬兰最大的移民群体。本研究聚焦于芬兰说俄语的人对芬兰赌博系统的体验和看法，以及该系统与赌博危害的关系。该研究基于对芬兰说俄语居民赌博经历所收集的定性数据结果。数据包括一项针对赌博者的在线调查（N = 26）以及对赌博者家庭成员进行的访谈（N = 3）。芬兰说俄语的人认为赌博在芬兰社会中高度常态化。这种常态化因可得性、可及性和国家参与而得到强化。说俄语的人对于如何更好地预防和治疗芬兰的赌博危害也有见解。让有不同赌博系统体验的移民参与进来，可以为赌博系统中的既定做法提供关键见解。
