NC Sports Gambling and Gaming Summit: Treatment and Prevention for Problem Gambling 03/08/2019

The United States is facing the biggest potential expansion of gambling in its history as a result of the recent Supreme Court decision to overturn the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA). Individuals involved in amateur and professional sports are at higher risk for gambling problems, and gambling problems are a threat to the health of athletes and to the integrity of the game. With the revolutionary shift in attitudes towards sports betting by the professional leagues and the action of dozens of states to pass sports betting bills, there is an urgent need to prepare for an increased occurrence of gambling addiction and problem gambling, as well as to provide solutions (from the National Council on Problem Gambling).  In addition to traditional sports betting modalities, rates of gaming disorders and Esports betting are on the rise. This one-day summit will explore the need for developing strategies to combat the rise of gambling disorder related to the constantly expanding gambling landscape.
