When Gambling Goes Mobile: A Public Health Concern
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of C&B Minicast, we explore the rapid rise of mobile gambling — now a $100+ billion industry that lives right in the palm of your hand. From betting during dinner to scrolling in class, access has never been easier… or more constant.
We break down the science behind gambling behavior, why men make up nearly 70% of users, and how increased accessibility is driving higher participation — and risk.
Most importantly, we discuss the public health implications, including the 2–5% of users who develop problematic behaviors and the growing vulnerability among younger populations.
