Methods and analysis This review will adhere to the Joanna Briggs Institute Reviewers’ Manual. The review will be organized along the Population, Concept and Context approach. It will include quantitative peer-reviewed studies that examine the use of AI tools within gambling contexts. Searches for relevant articles will be conducted in Web of Science, APA PsycINFO, Medline (Ovid), ProQuest, CINAHL, and Wiley Online Library. A search for grey literature will be conducted in GreyLit. Org, ProQuest Dissertations and Theses, Google Scholar, and Google search engine, reviewing the first 50 results in Incognito mode. Two independent reviewers will perform screening, selection, and data extraction, with disagreements resolved through discussion or consultation with a third reviewer. The results will be presented in graphical and tabular format, accompanied by a narrative summary following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines. The protocol has been pre-registered in Open Science Framework: https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/FMBE6 Ethics and dissemination This study protocol is exempted from ethical approval. The planned review aims to describe how AI has been used within the gambling field and has as such as a goal to inform various stakeholders such as clinicians, gambling operators as well as regulatory authorities.
