Purpose. Traditionally poker games are offered and played for real money, with the stakes ranging from pocket change to millions of dollars. Freeroll poker games, on the other hand, are offered and played with play-money or free poker chips. For many people, gambling on real-money poker is a benign form of entertainment. However, for some it leads to gambling disorder (GD), which can jeopardize important relationships and vocational pursuits. For these reasons, addiction researchers have long focused on prevention by identifying risk factors for developing GD. The purpose of this study is to compare, confirm, and extend the knowledge about risk factors for GDgleaned from real-money poker researchwith a sample of freeroll poker players. Method. This quantitative study surveyed a convenience sample of (N=100) freeroll poker players. They were recruited through social media, using snowball sampling. Inclusion criteria: (a) having played freeroll poker at least once; (b) 18 years or older; and (c) participant consent. The survey investigated the relationship between a total of 31 identified risk factors for GD and the studys two dependent variables: (a) gambling disorder; and (b) poker player type (PPT). Findings. GD prevalence was 16%. Bivariate analysis: GD and PPT were statistically significant with each other. Further, (a) GD was significant with current age: and (b) PPT was significant with race, marital status, education, and family history of problem gambling. A snapshot of some of the risk factors that have social work practice implications include: (a) 11% want to cut down on the amount of time they spend playing freeroll poker; (b) 42.00% spend real money to buy free poker chips; (d) 44.00% chase freeroll poker losses; (e) 46.00% said freeroll poker was a gateway to real-money poker; (f) 77.00% believe poker is primarily a game of skill, not luck; and (g) 77.00% drink alcohol while playing freeroll poker. PPT- having played freeroll poker, yet self-identifying as either: (a) primarily a freeroll poker player; or (b) primarily a real-money poker player.Both of the dependent variables were run against each other.
