Show Notes
Youth gambling addiction surges, particularly in sports betting, with two to seven percent of young bettors developing addictions. Legal betting skyrocketed from $13 billion to $160 billion, driven by micro-betting. Apps facilitate constant betting, linked to other issues like drinking. Early betting before age eighteen increases addiction risk by 80%. A lawsuit targets DraftKings and FanDuel, while lawmakers propose bans on AI-powered micro-bets and deposit limits. Recovery stories offer hope, with advocates pushing for tougher age checks and ad rules.
