The growing influence of the gambling industry on young people and football culture has intensified concerns about gambling harms, youth gambling, and the unchecked expansion of gambling ad exposure, as explored by GamLEARN. In Protecting The Children from Gambling Harms: A Call to Action, the growing risks of underage gambling due to digital accessibility, targeted marketing, and gaming mechanics that mimic betting behaviours are discussed. Without intervention, children exposed to gambling at an early age are more likely to develop long-term addiction issues. Meanwhile, Football’s Gambling Ad Surge: A Call for Regulation highlights how the overwhelming presence of gambling ad campaigns in football normalises betting culture, influencing both young fans and vulnerable individuals. The financial gains for football clubs are overshadowed by the social consequences, making regulatory action crucial. Furthermore, GamLEARN Cares: Addressing Youth Gambling Urgency dives into the increasing prevalence of youth gambling, emphasising the need for stricter advertising restrictions, educational programmes, and greater parental awareness to prevent long-term harm. GamLEARN is actively advocating for stronger protections to shield young people from the damaging effects of gambling exposure. Explore these guides to understand the urgent need for policies, awareness campaigns, and regulations that can curb gambling harms and create a safer future for young individuals.
