Abstract: This research analyses the field of gambling studies from the perspective of digital technologies over the past two decades (2004 2023). In the study, we use both qualitative and quantitative methods in order to identify the risks associated with gambling and the impact of digital technologies on them. We analysed 929 articles indexed on the Web of Science by Clarivate Analytics which contained the word “gambling” and were published exclusively in English. The analysis focuses on the themes which influence gambling studies, identifying the most popular topics utilised in studies: risk and technology. We have used qualitative analysis to identify and group the analysed subjects from each theme. Two main directions have been identified in the study: technological innovation and data analysis for business decision improvement. The bibliometric analysis and also the identified main themes from gambling studies ranging from 2004 to 2023 represents the originality of the study. The contribution this study brings is given by the main identified trend: gambling studies are steadily growing on a yearly basis.
