In their review of Internet gambling studies, Auer and Griffiths (Soc Sci Comput Rev 20(3):312–320, 2013) question the validity of using bet size as an indicator of gambling intensity. Instead, Auer and Griffiths suggest using “theoretical loss” as a preferable measure of gambling intensity. This comment identifies problems with their argument and suggests a convergent rather than an exclusionary approach to Internet gambling measures and analysis.
