(Ep 284) Youth And Gambling

In this episode, I’m having an important conversation about gambling, online betting, and the growing impact these activities can have on our young people.
Gambling advertisements are everywhere.
We see them during sporting events, on television, across social media, on YouTube, and through the apps and platforms our young people use every day. The messaging often makes gambling look exciting, glamorous and harmless.
But what we don't see in those advertisements is what can happen when gambling becomes an addiction.
And I’m especially concerned about our young people.
Their brains are still developing and they may not fully understand risk, consequences or the value of money. At the same time, they are being exposed to gambling-like experiences through video games, fantasy sports, social media and emerging prediction markets.
Some of these activities may seem like harmless entertainment, but they can normalize behaviors that make gambling feel familiar and acceptable.
