Abstract
This chapter will consider the additions and affordances the concept of ‘display’ (Finch 2007) offers in analyses of inter-relational responses to problematic Internet gambling. It will also seek to develop this concept by considering it in both the domestic and public sphere and by examining the issues which arise when family members are not available for ‘display’. Display activities in these analyses are not those directly of the gambling, but relate explicitly to family practices of display, and how a perceived absence of these impacts on familial relationships and, often later, of attempts to renew affected relationships.
