The data collected in this article was drawn from a broader study evaluating an app-delivered gambling intervention (“Reset” derived from an evidence-based online intervention “GamblingLess”), developed by ND/SM/SR of the authorship team, for the Victorian Responsible Gambling Foundation (VRGF). Given the historical involvement of three of the investigators in the development of Reset, a ‘Working Group’ was established to ensure objectivity, transparency, and management of any perceived conflicts of interest.

The Working Group provide ongoing oversight to the evaluation of Reset, including the methodologies, data analysis plans, and data interpretation.
