0:00This weekend's World Cup was one of the

0:01biggest betting events in history, which

0:03also means it alerted a lot of

0:04first-time gamblers and some seasoned

0:06ones, too. US addiction experts and

0:08researchers [music]

0:09are very concerned about the data

0:10they're seeing from all this new

0:11gambling.

0:12>> We see it in the number of phone calls

0:14to gambling helplines. We see it in the

0:16number of inquiries for people calling

0:19for treatment-related gambling problems.

0:20[music] The end result has been a clear

0:23surge in the uptake of gambling problems

0:26related to online sports betting.

0:27>> We've created a world where technology,

0:31sports, and allowing sports betting has

0:33essentially normalized that activity to

0:36the point where it's available 24/7.

0:38Think about the opioid crisis when there

0:40was essentially just more [music]

0:41heroin and more fentanyl and more opioid

0:44pills, it created more patients with

0:46opioid use disorder. It's the same way I

0:49think for gambling disorder.

0:50>> Since the Supreme Court removed the

0:51federal ban on sports betting in [music]

0:532018, the gambling industry has

0:55exploded. Early numbers are in for

0:57states that have legalized sports

0:58betting, and these two data points

1:00really stood out to me. First, in states

1:02that legalized sports betting, sports

1:03book spending increased about tenfold.

1:06>> higher rates of delinquencies on car

1:08notes and higher bankruptcy filings,

1:11higher credit card debts, more signs of

1:14financial strain.

1:15>> Second, this new debt is pretty

1:16concentrated among younger borrowers and

1:18new bettors.

1:19>> You look at a lot of the gambling

1:20advertising, you see a lot of imagery

1:22that's very much geared toward young

1:23people. You see a lot of imagery related

1:26to parties and making money and fun and

1:29all these wonderful things, [music] but

1:31it's not the product. When you advertise

1:33in a way that minimizes the potential

1:35harm of your product, it's false.

1:37>> So, now that we've opened Pandora's Box

1:39on sports betting, what can be done to

1:41prevent the slide into a potential

1:43addiction crisis?

1:44>> Advertising, getting a handle on the

1:46unregulated market, and teaching people

1:48at an early age and [music] when they

1:50start gambling on sports about what

1:52exactly this product is that they're

1:54getting into. There are also mobile apps

1:56out there that folks can use to kind of

1:58get more informed about their own

2:00gambling behaviors before things develop

2:03and get more serious.
