Is online gambling being marketed to children?

Loading player...
Tomorrow, Ontario lawmakers will vote on Bill 107. If passed, it would restrict advertising for online gambling sites in Ontario, including bans on operators promoting their platforms. The move comes amid growing concern from doctors and advocates that widespread gambling ads are normalizing betting and contributing to rising addiction, especially among young people. To talk about this bill and the larger concerns around gambling and young people, Evan speaks with Steve Joordens, a Professor of Psychology at the University of Toronto Scarborough.
