Qualitative analysis of the reflection of the mathematical dimension of gambling in gaming online content

- ongoing project -

Webmasters and owners of gambling sites are invited to participate and gain exposure on academic websites

We all know how difficult it is for gambling sites to achieve SEO performance in a niche that is stigmatized and oversaturated. One of the aims of the GamMathQA program is to offer gambling sites the possibility of effective link building while contributing to growing these sites’ authority by including the expert content features of the program.

Our PhilScience project connects the academic realm of problem gambling with the gambling industry. If you own or manage a gambling/casino site, we invite you to participate in this study and benefit by the exposure of your website in the high-authority science repositories Researchgate.net (world’s no.1 multidisciplinary repository, DR 93), SSRN.com (Social Science Research Network, part of Elsevier, DR 92), Philpapers.org (world’s no.1 philosophy repository, DR 80), Hal.science (the science repository of the Centre for Direct Scientific Communication, DR 73), Psyarxiv.com (the psychology repository of the Open Science Framework, osf.io, DR 84), SSOAR.info (the Social Science Open Access Repository of the Leibniz Institute, DR 75), Iti.kit.edu (the wiki educational resource of the Karlsruher Institute of Technology, DR 85), Gamblingstudies.pbworks.com (the gambling educational hub on Pbworks, DR 83), plus scribd com (DR 91) and the scientific sites that we own.

The study is conducted by Dr. Catalin Bărboianu. Click here for the detailed academic description of this project.

The current project aims to evaluate qualitatively the reflection of the mathematical dimension of gambling in the content of gambling websites. A statistical analysis will record the presence of the mathematical dimension of gambling and its forms in the content of participating websites, and a qualitative research will analyze and assess the quality of the content with respect to that dimension.

For the gambling and igaming industry, the main goals of the program are to increase awareness about the mathematical facts of gambling and to stimulate the interest of the gambling sites in improving their expert content in this respect, while offering them exposure in academic sites, which would otherwise be inaccessible for them.

Monthly technical reports describing the partial results of the analysis will be published and disseminated publicly via academic channels, and an article with final results will be submitted for publication in a gambling studies journal.
Each technical report will include a selective list of ten websites reviewed. The reports are published in open-source mode as PDF web pages and are indexed by Google, Google Scholar, and other scholarly search engines. Each report is assigned a DOI (digital object identifier) and gets connected to the doi.org system for academic web search. Each entry in a report will contain the URL of the homepage of the website reviewed (as hyperlink), a short two-line basic description of content (non-commercial, without any superlatives and offers), and the date of review. Example:

myreviewedgamblingwebsite.com (reviewed in January 2023)
Online casino with roulette, blackjack, online slots, and poker room;
it has beginner’s guides for the games as well as strategy tips.

The reviewed websites will be also posted on our website probability.infarom.ro and on philscience.org, in the project’s pages. For giving greater SEO value to your links, the pages where the technical reports are published are backlinked from Dr. Barboianu’s academic profile on scholar.google.com (DR 92), orcid.org (DR 91), and semanticscholar.org (DR 90). A reports gets also backlinked from any academic publication that cites it with its DOI.

The participants will also get access to expert content for their websites and benefits, by the expert content features of the program:
■ Collaboration with our expert authors - Our team of expert authors can write for you at discounted prices. The articles will be delivered fact-checked and reviewed by Dr. Barboianu.
■ Free assistance with the developing of gambling-math sections - We can contribute to and assist you with the incorporation of gambling-math information into your site.
■ Priority and 10% discount of the writing fee for articles written by Dr. Barboianu.
■ One free link and 10% discount on the writing fee for articles in the Citable Article program – This is another program of ours and is described here.
■ 20% discount on the fee for participation in the Journal Article Link program – This is another program of ours and is described here.

Participants are paid a referral fee for every new participant that they bring to join the program. Don't miss this unique opportunity!

The statistical results of the study will be summarized and will not include individual assessments. (In the published materials, your website will be associated only with the description in the list and not with its review). The intent is not to highlight shortfalls in any website's coverage but to complete and record a qualitative analysis that collectively displays the level of attention to these subjects across various gambling-related websites. As such, any participant does not necessarily need to cover them in any way.
