Main objective of the study was to test the range of potential and existing consumer protection measures for Online Gambling industry in highly realistic settings. Using Expilab online platform, realistic online casino with 2 fully-functional gambles was programmed while keeping full control of experimental settings.

Expilab team designed and programmed a set of behavioral experiments that were successfully conducted both in laboratory and online (field experiment) settings across 7 EU member states.Here is a text

Challenges

Need for realistic gambling environment with monetary incentives

Embedding behavioral and self-reported measures

Presence of non-linear experimental logic and complexity of experimental conditions

Design new consumer-protection measures

Solution

Full-factorial laboratory and online experiments

2 fully-functional purpose-build gambling environments (roulette and slot-machine)

Realistic website of a hypothetical gambling operator

Embedding of real monetary incentives

Results

500 lab and 5500+ online participants, 7 EU member-states

Flexible experimental environment ready for testing of new protection measures and policies

Evaluated efficiency of existing and new consumer protection measures; policy recommendations developed

Following video was part of the presentation “Online gambling and more: potential and limits of policy oriented behavioral experiments” (by G. Gaskell, C. Codagnone, F. Bogliacino, G. Veltri, A. Ivchenko, F. Lupiañez, F. Mureddu) presented at the conference “APPLYING BEHAVIORAL INSIGHTS TO POLICY-MAKING: RESULTS, PROMISES AND LIMITATIONS” organized by the European Commission, DG Health and Consumers.

How Spanish insurance company boosted in-app marketing campaign CTR from 3% to 30%.

Insurance company achieved more than just an efficient in-app engagement strategy that transformed a mere 3% click-through rate to an impressive 30%. They also gained a deeper understanding of the behavioural triggers and obstacles influencing user behaviour in the context of their online accounts. Through a combination of behavioural nudges - such as mental accounting and social proof - our targeted approach increased in-app digital interaction by a staggering 1000%.

Behavioural Experiments to Test CO2 Car Labelling: Shaping Vehicle Labelling Standards in the EU

Together with LSE, UOC, Tech4i2 and others, Expilab has co-delivered a project for the European Commission to improve consumer information and awareness about car ecological and CO2 labelling. The Expilab team has focused on co-design and execution of a set of online behavioural experiments across 10 EU countries involving 10,500+ participants. Behavioural experiments provided actionable insights for the design of effective consumer Eco CO2 labels capable of nudging citizens toward more sustainable transportation choices.

NHS Choices. Choosing a High Quality Hospital

A series of behavioural laboratory and field experiments exploring the impact of various behavioural nudges and, in general, of choice architecture on choices made by NHS patients and travellers were programmed and conducted using the Expilab web-platform. Decision process-tracing tools that allowed the collection of data about participants’ attention areas during the choice tasks were embedded into the design of the field experiments.

Using Gamification to Learn About How People Spend Money

Spending game is a research tool to study economic behavior of kids and adults through gamification. With the original idea coming from Dr. Heather Kappes from London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), the spending game was co-designed and developed by LSE and Expilab.
