However, this was not reflected as increased addictive behaviors, probably due to the harmful nature of Finnish land-based gambling. Online gambling was more intensive while multimode gambling was more frequent and versatile than land-based gambling. Socio-demographics and gambling participation were indicators of gambling modes. Younger age (OR 2.31), high income (OR 1.51), gambling at least four game types (OR 2.96), spending the most money on gambling (OR 4.56), and gambling in at least three gambling settings were associated with multimode gambling. The odds of online gambling were higher among those who gambled at least monthly (OR 1.34) and among those with the highest gambling spending (OR 3.62). Male gender (OR 1.48), age between 18 and 54 (OR 1.88), and high income (OR 1.87) were associated with online gambling. We used land-based gambling as the reference group in a multinomial regression model. The current study uses the Finnish Gambling 2019 population study sample of 18ā74-year-old past-year gamblers (Nā=ā3,077) to evaluate how these gambling modes differ in terms of socio-demographics, gambling participation, gambling settings, and addictive behaviors. Multimode gambling has also been distinguished as a separate mode. Online and land-based gambling differ in terms of participation and harms.
