IAGR2025 session:
PANEL: Protective measures for young adults in gambling
In many countries, young adults are not (yet) seen as extra vulnerable when it comes to gambling. Limiting offering or even prohibiting gambling carries the risk that this group will see advertisements for illegal offering, and will start to play illegally and don’t join the legal offering. What is the best solution for this group when it comes to protective measures?
The session will be moderated by Jeroen Stil, Senior Supervisor Addiction Prevention, Netherlands Gambling Authority, The Netherlands.
