Most of the Fold em episodes have been for those of you who decided to stop gambling. We've been helping you stop and stay stopped.
This episode is different. It's for those of you are currently gambling or know someone who is. We explore the fine line between recreational gambling and losing control. Our hope is that you better understand the risks when gambling and that some of us are more vulnerable to gambling harm. We share information, strategies and tools to help you keep gambling in control, recognize warning signs of problem gambling, and know where to turn for help.
We're joined by two experts, Luke Clark (Director, Centre for Gambling Research at the University of British Columbia) and Ryan McCarthy (Director, Player Health, British Columbia Lottery Corporation). They share the latest research and concrete strategies. They also discuss how the gambling industry and government can do more to reduce gambling harm.
