Only Half the Parents Had “the Talk” About Gambling, Survey Says

For lots of parents, “the talk” about sex, alcohol and drugs is part of raising children. Now, as sports betting and prediction markets are becoming more and more visible and hard to avoid online, gambling advocates want families to add another subject to those sensitive discussions. A survey commissioned by the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG) and conducted by The Harris Poll found that just 51% of parents and caregivers with children aged 6 to 17 had spoken to them about gambling. Another 40% said they planned to have the conversation, while 9% had no plans to do so.
