Gamblingresearch (CEO Robert I. Simpson) was created shortly after the Ontario government expanded legalized casinos (huge profits)
- Whoever had control of this new unaudited government agency, had access to unprecedented research grants, by the hundreds of thousands of dollars
- Awarding inflated research grants created empowerment and purchased loyalty (Lisa Root)
- Bloated research grants could have employed many multiples of researchers at today's grant levels
- Financed researchers who were sincerely searching for answers to gambling addictions instead of grant money
- Provided data and reports for the Ontario Government to help understand and minimize the social impact of legalized gaming
- Provide research data and reports that may have made significant impact in curbing addictions with problem gamblers
In the end, Gamblingresearch was just another group of individuals generating an income from the pockets of problem gamblers.
A paltry 10K grant for this Gamblingresearch group starring Heather Chalmers:
Gamblers Needed for Research:
- Renee C. Desmond advertised for participants in gambling research and has been funded by Gamblingresearch.org
- Gambling research was / is big business $$$ in the research field
FYI "Paranoid Schizophrenia" shares some common traits with gambling addictions, believe it or not.
- Schizophrenics and gamblers both are subject to pattern recognition.
- Schizophrenics have hallucinations ('A tendency to extract message-like meaning from meaningless sensory information"),
- Gamblers seek out biases or visible data out of the norm (chaos theory) to exploit wagering opportunities.

- A Half Million dollar grant (500K) that was given to Little Johnny Cunningham (Ph.D. in Experimental Psychology) from Gamblingresearch, was eventually removed from their website.
John A. Cunningham had solved the problem of "Barriers to treatment for problem gamblers in Ontario". This would separate Little Johnny Cunningham from the rest of psych community in experimental psychology.
His other publication Recovery from problem gambling without formal treatment is a book that I would probably know about.

- Ann Marie Guilmette of Brock University, was originally in charge of the vast OPGRC funding.
- Rob Simpson (Heather Chalmers ?), who appears to have no formal training in psychology, goes from teaching assistant at McMaster University, to The Homewood Health Centre, and then CEO of GamblingResearch?
- Dr. Graeme Cunningham, an alcoholic and former President of College of Physicians and Surgeons of Ontario, worked at McMaster University.
- Robert Simpson's appointment of CEO of Gamblingresearch, was definitely a major plus for Little Johnny Cunningham, in unaudited research grants and being promoted to Lead Researcher.
