Since the 2018 Supreme Court decision to legalize sports betting, millions of Americans, especially young men, have been drawn into a rapidly growing industry that rakes in billions. But at what cost? In this episode of Sportly, host Kavitha Davidson dives deep into the rise of compulsive gambling, the history of sports betting scandals, and the policies fueling today’s public health crisis. With first-hand accounts from recovering addicts and insights from experts, we explore the consequences of this digital gambling boom and what can be done to curb its dangers.
