After his master’s, Kasra worked in the industry for several years, applying his data-driven techniques to the online and digital landscapes of two of the largest casino-hotel companies in the world.
 
Currently, for his Ph.D. dissertation and his role at IGI, he explores the implications of payment modernization for the gambling industry; specifically, his research utilizes machine learning to uncover behavioral insights and creates early detection algorithms that assist both industry operators and regulators in responsible gambling efforts as they pertain to payments.
 
Topics discussed:  
How does payment data help predict problem gambling Who is leading the research Who benefits from the findings If a problem gambler is identified, how do you approach him/her without feeling privacy is violated.
