Brief Summary
This study will compare a computerized tutorial to a brochure in terms of their education impact of people who wish to end voluntary self-exclusion. Voluntary self-exclusion is a program used by people who seek to bar themselves from further access to the casino or other gambling venue. The Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), in cooperation with Ontario Lottery and Gaming (OLG), is developing a tutorial designed to provide practical information to players who choose to reinstate and return to gambling. The goal of this study is to determine if this new computerized tutorial decreases the harm of gambling experienced by gamblers who are reinstated. For example, are they less likely to relapsing to problematic levels of gambling.
