Brazil, the host of the 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympics, is known for strong competitive traditions in sports and games. It is also one of only three G-20 countries (together with Saudi Arabia and Indonesia) that currently bans non-state provision of gambling products.

However, when it comes to preventing gambling harm we should also target those at risk as well those who are gambling moderately.

This paper analyzes the concept of saturation in the context of casino gaming markets and compares several metrics for …
