Award-winning innovation
Gamalyze has won the prestigious Global Regulatory Award Compliance Innovator or Innovation of the Year 2020. By reinventing the self-test and turning it into a game, a much more honest result is shown as the self-test reflects actions and decisions during gambling rather than reflections on own behavior.

About Gamalyze
Self-test
Gamalyze is a self-test, presented to the customer as a card game with 80 cards that need to be turned. The purpose of the game is to maximize the win. During the game, decision making is analyzed, using validated neuroscientific principles. The analysis provides deep insight into gambling behavior, thus identifying key characteristics associated with problem gambling.
Immediate feedback
The software behind the game analyzes and weighs every decision made during the game, identifying strategy and how a person reacts to losses, wins etc. These data are combined into an overall result and estimated risk level. The generated report gives feedback on the gambler’s strategy and his/her sensitivity to rewards, losses and frequency of wins. It also includes advice specified for the individual gambler.

Research behind the game
Dysfunctions
Problem gambling is associated with dysfunctions in connections between certain brain regions including the limbic system (impulses) and frontal cortex (executive function).
Neuroimaging
Neuroimaging has demonstrated these circuits to become activated during the game. Player behavior therefore reflects integrity of decision making brain processes.
Deep characterization
Analysis of behavior provides a deep characterization of key elements in decision making, serving as the basis for individualized feedback to the participant.
