Abstract submission form
The 2026 Current Advances in Gambling Research conference will take place in Helsinki, Finland, on 28–29 May 2026. The conference focuses on sharing new and emerging research in the field of gambling studies. This year, we’re particularly keen to see submissions focusing on sociology of gambling, real-world impact, and control & governance.
Accepted contributions will be presented as oral presentations (15 minutes) or posters. For both types, abstracts should be 250 words max. We also invite proposals for pre-conference workshops, to be held on 27 May.
We encourage submissions from early career researchers, professionals from the third sector, regulators, individuals with lived experience, and researchers from the Global South.
The deadline for submission is January 15, 2026. Authors will be notified of acceptance decisions by 20 February 2026. Registration will open in February. AFSG members, students, individuals with lived experience, and the unwaged have a discounted registration fee.
Within the submission process, everyone will be asked to disclose any declarations of interests. People or organisations who have been directly funded by the gambling industry will not be eligible to present. Every presenter will be expected to transparently declare all interests at the outset of their session.
Abstract submission form is located here.
If you are a researcher based in a low- or middle-income country and want to present work at CAGR, a limited number of bursaries are available to support attendance. To facilitate visa support, the closing date for this is December 31, 2025. If you’d like to apply for a LMIC bursary, please submit your abstract through a separate application form.
