TI  - The Impact of Sharing Accounts on Electronic Chance / Bet Gaming Platforms in Social Media on Gambling Behavior: A Research in the City of Istanbul
AB  - Any development in the technological field can lead to changes in the standard of living and habits of individuals. These changes can sometimes have both negative and positive consequences. As a result of this transformation in the technological field, the need to reevaluate the concepts of habit and addiction has arisen. The concept of place attachment and time has disappeared for the display of gambling behavior, and it has become more accessible with electronic luck/betting platforms and the mobile applications that are part of these platforms. This study aims to examine the impact of this more accessible state on gambling/betting behavior. The research examined the relationship between electronic chance/betting platforms and the social media sharing of these platforms and gambling/betting behavior that has emerged as a result of technological developments. In addition, the study calculated the percentage of gambling-addicted individuals within the borders of Istanbul province in the sample size. While determining the sample for the study, a non-probability quota sampling was chosen. The scale was applied to 106 participants. The study itself has some limitations. The study includes individuals who reside in Istanbul, have an account(s) on social media, and have gambled/betted in the past 12 months. The applied scale consists of eight parts. Based on the information obtained, the percentage of gambling addicts in Istanbul was determined to be 11.3%. In addition, a significant relationship was found between following the social media accounts of electronic chance/betting games platforms by those who play betting/chance games and their level of gambling addiction. No association was found between gender, income level, and education level and gambling addiction. All data were analyzed using SPSS 22 software. All scale results are included in the research section.
