Studying the blurring lines between gaming and gambling - NUMBERS

Eva Grosemans and Maarten Denoo will first present Gam(e)(a)ble as a whole, then focus on their PHD research projects in its framework. Maarten will introduce the audience to the concept of dark patterns and its relevance for the blurring space between gaming and gambling, and Eva will explain why online advertising matters when it comes to monitor and regulate access to online gambling for children and youth. The audience, composed of future workers in cultural and sociocultural mediation with a specialization in video game, will benefit from this approach to address frequent issues raised by their work with digital and videogame culture.
