March is Problem Gambling Awareness Month, and my guest for this episode of Let's Talk is Dr. Jeremiah Weinstock!
Dr. Jeremiah Weinstock is a licensed psychologist, professor of psychology, and the Chair of the Department of Psychology at Saint Louis University. He is an expert in the assessment and treatment of substance-related and addictive disorders with over 65 peer-review publications and research funding from the National Institutes of Health and the International Center for Responsible Gaming.

- How do you know if someone's gambling behavior is becoming problematic?
- What are "low risk" gambling guidelines?
- Do casinos or betting apps have a responsibility to use their data to protect their customers/users?
- Why haven't certain predatory tactics in the gambling industry been prohibited yet?
