Notas do Editor
- Clearly, then, youth gambling must be addressed in the context of how it exists in the lives of youth—one of several possible risky behaviors they may try, which can lead to serious problems. The difference is that, in real life, youth gambling is the one that is routinely left off of this diagram. We need to change that for the sake of our kids, who are the first generation to grow up with gambling being the norm, being easily accessible and available, being shown as glamorous and not being discussed enough by parents and other authority figures.
- Here we have a snapshot describing the clients we serve. You’ll notice the typical client is a middle-aged single white female who plays video poker at a Lottery retailer and has racked up over $29,000 in gambling debt before entering treatment.
- Based on self report, approximately 24.6% of problem gamblers entering treatment reported committing illegal acts to obtain gambling money. With the gambling related debt of just those in treatment in Oregon exceeding $48.4 million, financial desperation leads some to embezzlement, theft and fraud. Illegal acts among problem gamblers were reduced after treatment.
- Problem gambling treatment saves money. Out of 2,012 people treated for problem gambling 822 were not gambling at all 6 months after treatment ended*. Depending on the severity of the problem, gamblers cost society from $3,000 to $11,000 per year**. Treating the 2,012 people for approximately $3.8 million dollars created a savings of $8.1 million dollars—a very good investment.
