Sports Betting a National Perspective: The Implications for Certain Populations
This presentation will examine an overview of the sports wagering landscape across the US. In the past five years, we have begun to better understand the ramifications that this expansion has had on problem gambling. Sports Wagering is not only unique in its engagement and consumption but carries risks that vary significantly from other forms of gambling. The presenter will cover a variety of topics that include the ever-arising concerns on problem gambling rates, innovative and emerging trends in policy, prevention initiatives, and how this expansion has particularly impacted certain populations. The presentation will examine the unique type of concerns that have arisen for athletes and consumers. The presentation will end highlighting some of the biggest takeaways and lessons learned from legalized sports wagering since the overturning of PASPA and discuss if the problem gambling services currently in place are adequately meeting the needs of the national needs.
