The KSA also gave an honourable mention to Damiaan Reijnaers for his bachelor’s thesis on the use of artificial intelligence in poker.

Hahahaha.

For me, it looks like one real paper with really complex and interesting material received "Thank you", and two papers with obviously less usefulness (one is completely garbage - reasoning about ethics) received cash prizes.

If I were doing research in gambling, it would rather be research in mathematics (including AI) or something similar (tangible), but not this empty demagogy about ethics.

Hi there,

I'm the author of one of the theses in discussion. I have to say that some of the comments here are incredibly judgmental and mean-spirited without having read a single line of my thesis (or the others). In it I constructed a structural equation model of people's experience with loot boxes using primary data. The variables I chose for this model were informed by Kant's theory to later have measurable results, which his theory could be applied to. I did so because loot boxes are often called unethical by merit of common sense. However, the argument is oftentimes weak and does not really explain the underlying psychology and why they are unethical.

I also have to disagree that the issue is legally solved: Belgium hasn't actually enforced its progressive ban. UK, Netherlands, Germany, Brazil, US have dialed back their efforts in pursuing regulation. It is solely relied upon the self-regulation of the industry. Easy to see how this will turn out.

If you ever back up your brash claims and do research yourself, I hope that you have more luck than me and do not have to witness your hard work be shit upon on the internet.

Feel free to read the "garbage" in full via the following link:

Not all degree will allow you to make a thesis about gambling stuff especially your degree has nothing to do about it. If you're an IT, economic and law degree, then it's possible you create a thesis about gambling. However it also depends on where you live, if you live in where gambling are prohibited, then your thesis will got auto rejected.
Thesis on gambling can be done in all discipline the key factor is finding how it help tackle gambling addiction as it is more of a global concern therefore will fit into any discipline at all .  I don't think any country will reject  thesis on gambling no matter how strict their laws are on gambling because it is done as a research that will give even a better conclusion on how to handle gambling in their locality.

It's actually a good thesis topic but you have to be well prepared to defend it. Studies about gambling and gambling addiction would sound new in universities and colleges because it's too broad. It will take a lot of time to research and do a series of studies but it will surely be an interesting thesis.
Yes, the truth to be able to prove a thesis that has to do with games of chance is very ambiguous, because obviously a thesis about this is to be closer to being rich and to be able to beat a casino in some way and this is something really difficult , and I think that in some cases it is impossible, for this reason it turns out to be very good, because the statistics for some games can be more accurate, perhaps in sports betting they can make a difference because they have to be taken into account There are some studies that are really conformable, but even so, the percentage of alettorieage is very large.

I think gambling can be one of the main topics to be researched by sociologists to look through addictions. As a sociology graduate I would say: hell yea! I think people should research what makes people love gambling. Not about negative sides. That's already researched many times. But researching through rewards and escapist mechanics of it. Inner economy of some games are really important understand how human mind reacts to gambling.

Maybe theses about gambling in a country where gambling is banned could still be banned because to get the data, thesis writers have to interact directly in casinos, be it legal or illegal and distribute questionnaires to volunteers. And if the country prohibits gambling, then it is difficult to continue unless there is a permit from the local government. But still difficult to get the data. Maybe it would be interesting to write a thesis but it depends on the state of the country, whether to allow gambling or not.

I think only a few people started gambling as research material and this gambling is digital gambling based on cryptocurrency, it is a bit taboo because some people think it might not give an idea of future developments that refer to technology so that it is suitable as research material as users who sometimes can make the mental state worse in gambling or when winning at gambling venues.

A thesis on gambling is possible, but it is an option because it can be difficult to find good variables to do research in certain states that do not legalize gambling. I don't even think it would be possible to do it in my country as the main issue is legality although we can actually do online based research.

But here I might be able to think of something about a non-formal, unrelated study of any college on the effects and problems of gambling on some respondents. As hard as it is, I'm sure there are plenty of people out there who are gamblers regardless of what game they like. Of course this can be done, but in the end I think the results of the study may not be as accurate as expected.

in addition there is a common thought in many people, which is that they play in casinos to win a lot of money, easy money, and things are not like that either, easy money is a path that few have left well rid, and mostly because they tend to have very good luck.
That is the wrong mindset about gambling, I am sure they will get more trouble than expected profit.

Different regions have different mindsets about gambling. Those who gamble have no regrets and those who do not have no regret either.
A thesis maybe for some readers but it is not for those who want to quit gambling - or who want to start gambling.
it depends the kind of gambling in questions. Gambling is gambling in any region you are, except their is a particular game they played for that particular regions. But i know quite well that casino game, poker game, soccer game is general game which you can play it irrespective the environment you found yourself. Secondly i can agree with you assuming you said that we play a game base on the game we know perfectly or some people played game because of individual interest of gaming, it's very simple and understandable.

I also understand the point under which you say that it depends on the game, there are many who make sports bets and by pure logic it is more likely that they will win, since then the chances of winning increase, when we play any game in a casino, for example the slots it is known that the casino will always have the advantage, the house has the advantage, then we are already more subject to "luck" and "random" this is something that we must take into account, of course there are other games that reduce the possibility of losing that is poker, especially when it is in tournaments when they play PVP, so if it is that way, I see that it depends on the type of game.


The luck and randomness factors which we are taking into consideration when playing slot games have a much higher incentive than when we bet on sport betting.When we bet on some sport betting events chances that we hit x10000 to x30000 of our bet are almost 0 in terms of percentage to achieve that,while in the slot machine we are playing in our gambling session to get that highest winning payline and chances here are somewhat better than in sport betting to get that top payline.

So any slot player already knows that they are depending on pure luck when playing slots but they do so because they hope that luck will favor them at least one time with that highest winning payline.


yes, it's true that slot machine gambling has an advantage in terms of very high incentives, maybe because of this, slot machines are becoming more trending at this time compared to other gambling. especially slot machines offer a lot of games with a very wide variety of choices if one is lucky one can get maxwin according to the stakes. However, I prefer soccer gambling, even though the incentives are not as big as slot machines, but I can start by analyzing each team one by one to minimize losses. yes all bets I think have their own uniqueness and after all the luck factor is very decisive in gambling
Yes, in fact I was a player who liked poker a lot, I still love it, but since I started playing more slots as a measure to de-stress, I like it a lot, especially when new games come out, new slots, in the case of bitcasino.io and stake.com they have a great variety of slots and they care about adding more every week this is something that slots fans love it is a paradise and from there I also think that at some point the player clings to that moment of very good luck that comes while you play so that you have a very large win, it has happened to many. I have seen how in threads of those casinos they publish the millionaire winnings of some players, it is something that can be very inspiring.

If the psychology students can use gambling as the subject of their thesis and not as a way to make money, they will be fine and can continue with the thesis. But they can also be trapped in gambling because we know that gambling is very tempting for users to return to gambling and spend more money. But they can prevent becoming addicted as long as they are not tempted and can control themselves and only make gambling a thesis material.
Well seo is a way of seeing what can happen, but honestly when a thesis is done it is to find the solution to a big problem and here in this gambling there are no problems, there is only the desire to want to win and have profits in money, very few people see casinos as a means of distraction, to have a different time and to forget about day-to-day life or worries.

If the thesis were focused on the solutions that people who fall into addiction problems can take, where it often leads to death, it would be ideal, but the truth is that I have not come across a thesis of that style. This would be one of the best options and I think it would be very interesting, because I think it would have the participation of many professionals, doctors, psychologists, players, among others.

The difference between betting and casinos is that in the casino the house edge is always known (there are exact numbers for each game), while for betting each event is unique and the player's analysis can be stronger than the bookmaker's analysis. The problem is that the bookmaker’s advantage exist also in betting (it gives reduced odds), so to be in the black you must not only be stronger than the bookmaker, but much stronger. At a distance it is very difficult.

I think the topic of such a dissertation would be very broad. If only because of the enormous amount of statistical research that needs to be done. Statistics is not an easy way to write a dissertation, one of the most difficult assignments that many people face. You can make a lot of mistakes or just get tangled up in endless numbers. When my brother was writing his dissertation, he had a huge statistical project that took up most of his work. But he found experts who helped him https://www.bestdissertation.com/services/stat-project.html .
I think statistics will also take up no small percentage of the work in this topic. In order not to fail, I would advise you to do as my brother did - go to experts who have been working on such projects for years.

I don't know how people manage gambling after such horrible inflation. We are unable to pay our bills and it is hard to make both ends meet. The thesis should have a new point included - inflation and gambling. How to manage gambling during inflation. Because a common man won't be able to gamble.
In theory any amount of money that you gamble should be money that you can afford to lose, which means that even with the high inflation we are experimenting and the collapse we are seeing at all the different markets around the world at the same time if you earn more than enough money each month then you can still fulfill all your needs, while at the same time you will still have some money to spare and you can keep gambling, however this is only possible for those which earn a big enough salary, as there are many people which will have to reduce or even eliminate gambling from their hobbies until they have some money to spare yet again.
Gambling isnt necessary because if people would really be seeking out for some leisure then we do have several activities  which could really make us entertain.Its not necessary for us to gamble but
well there are people who do find out betting with real money is something interesting compared to those which arent thats why they do really end up with this kind of option.
If you do only earn sufficient for your daily needs then its really dumb that you would consider  on playing gambling since you know that you would really be spending some funds.
As speaking with thesis in gambling then this is a wide scope of topic which needs to be defended wisely.
I really know what a challenging thesis is, going to do something that is as difficult as a game thesis, particularly I have experience with my university thesis because I got into a subject that no one had ever gotten into, and it was the part of electromagnetics, where the teachers told me or warned me not to do it because it was going to last about 5 more years doing it, the reason was because nobody had messed with it, nobody had the experience, however I ignored it and I was able to do it in less than 1 month, so I say that by doing something so complicated I think that in the game it has the same level of complexity, but if someone sticks to studying thoroughly they will find tricks and ways to minimize at least the probability of losing so much, I think that Everything is possible in life as long as there is life.

According to this article, the Dutch Gambling Authority have awarded 4000€ to students for two Gambling Related thesis.
Quote
Leonard Delank, a master’s student at the University of Groningen and Newcastle University, wrote a paper on loot boxes; items that feature in many video games and offer players a random reward.
In his thesis, Delank drew on the theories of 18th century German philosopher Immanuel Kant, who argued that people have a moral obligation to do the right thing.
Ultimately, he came to the conclusion that loot boxes are not ethical. For his paper, the KSA awarded Delank €2,500


I think in the paper there were few points that were really interesting, most of the times physicians do categorize the gambling addiction into mental disorder but some might accidentally compare it to the OCD. Whereas it claimed how the gamblers who are addicted are 'too uncertain' therefore should be treated seperate from the OCD patients. Apparently the mentality lied in being sensitive to rewards, overconfidence, overestimation as well.

I think it's a wise article and should be taken as a reference when any medical help is being provided to gamblers and at the same time gamblers should also take a note and understand the psychology better.

Would you ever consider doing your research in Gambling? https://www.gamblinginsider.com/news/16389/ksa-awards-4000-to-students-for-gambling-theses
I have done gambling on a site and I see that they have described the site effects of gambling. If I lost more, they would ask me something. For example, am I addicted or should I abstain from this or is it better to abstain for a few days etc. My question is that since gambling can now be said to be becoming an industry in some countries. Although in many countries it is now illegal. As the day goes on, its scope is getting bigger, in which case, there may be a thesis about it. After all, I haven't done any thesis on this subject or seen anyone directly, but I guess someone can do it.

Not all degree will allow you to make a thesis about gambling stuff especially your degree has nothing to do about it. If you're an IT, economic and law degree, then it's possible you create a thesis about gambling. However it also depends on where you live, if you live in where gambling are prohibited, then your thesis will got auto rejected.
when you talk of thesis with degree you know quite well that is not all discipline that I accept gambling so accept all this educational involvement of causes that they can except taxes in gambling and then I agree with you God's own countries or environment we live does not compromise except gambling so with that you find it very difficult to make your thesis report

You can make a thesis about literally anything as long as its on topic with what you are studying, even if it is a bit abstract. For example, if you are studying mathematics and statistics, you can easily make a thesis about some niche probabilities of some area of gambling. If you study medicine you can make a thesis about the physical health effects that gamblers can have.

I bet you could even write a thesis on the physics of dice, if you really wanted to be that boring.

But then again, unless its a bachelor thesis, I doubt anyone would spend their time on something so boring when there are better things to write about...

If those who have money will consider gambling as a hobby, I think they will regret it especially if they often lose from gambling. Gambling is not a hobby that can be done by people because there is a loss factor that can make them lose everything in the end. Maybe if later there was a thesis issued by an educational institution about how dangerous gambling is to people, it would help them to think twice if they wanted to gamble.
I think those gamblers who have a lot of money will never regret when they lose because they realize that gambling is only for entertainment, so when people do research on gambling, they should be able to find sources with very large amounts because of the principle of rich people and people who don't having a lot of money will be different.
I think those who get into gambling - do not read any thesis. Likewise those who quit gambling doesnt do it after reading any research.
It's the person own will to gamble or not to gamble. The thesis won't be much helpful.
that is one of the things that makes gamblers lose game. As a gambler is very important to read the rules and regulation of the site before depositing your funds so I would not blame some website that when people disobey their rules and regulations they are funds will be seized and they will start complaining or since the fund because they violated the other all the rules and regulation of the group so it is nice and the important to read the rules first.
