There are currently 27 states that have legalized sports betting online. About 73% of Americans have gambled in the past 12 months. People at risk of developing a gambling problem include people who abuse alcohol and drugs, have friends who gamble, and use certain medications. College students betting on sports are at higher risk for developing gambling disorders. Teens and college students are more vulnerable regarding online sports gambling because of the ease of placing bets on online, especially in high schools and middle schools. They need to educate parents regarding this issue.
