Some startling facts contained in the report include:<\/p>\n<p>-College and university students tend to have higher rates of problem gambling, as compared to the general population.<\/p>\n<p>-College student athletes have an even greater risk for gambling problems than the general college population.<\/p>\n<p>The report\u2019s recommendations are tailored for each of the respective parties to implement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sports betting operators should:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Not offer incentives, especially monetary incentives, to institutions of higher learning based in any way on participation in sports betting by individuals.<\/p>\n<p>-Provide data to colleges and universities on betting activity and patterns to inform problem gambling efforts.<\/p>\n<p>-Set strict age-gate verification policies and operations that go beyond lip service and self-verification.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sports betting operators should:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Not accept any incentives based on participation by individuals in sports betting.<\/p>\n<p>-Set standards and policies for what type of sports betting advertising and promotion can occur, and where it can occur.<\/p>\n<p>-Offer problem gambling treatment services on campus for anyone who might need it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>State governments should:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>-Conduct surveys focused on high school and college students regarding this issue so that potential adjustments can be made going forward.<\/p>\n<p>-Provide funds at a <u>minimum<\/u> of one percent of all sports betting revenue to address gambling addiction.<\/p>\n<p>-Establish stringent responsible gambling regulations for sports betting operators and vendors.<\/p>\n<p>The best way to protect students and student athletes from gambling addiction is for all parties to work together to provide education, awareness and help on this hidden addiction. This includes effective tools and sensible limits that support informed choice and require consumer protections in the unique environment of higher education. Institutions of higher learning have a great responsibility toward their students, in this as in other aspects, to ensure that their educational environment does not present a danger but helps them to be successful as students and adults.<\/p>\n<p>About the National Council on Problem Gambling<br \/>\nBased in Washington DC, the National Council on Problem Gambling is the only national nonprofit organization that seeks to minimize the economic and social costs associated with gambling addiction.\u00a0If you or someone you know may have a gambling problem, contact the National Problem Gambling Helpline, which offers hope and help without stigma or shame.
