Curbing College Problem Gambling

Problem gambling at colleges and Universities across the United States is a growing concern that has legislators and politicians supporting efforts to really begin to address gambling policies on campus across the country. The Task Force on College Gambling is designed to help colleges develop a unified and clear policy about gambling and also have support measures in place to support those University students with land and online casino gambling addictions that may seek help from campus resources. The Task Force is currently fighting to get colleges to accept problem gambling as a form of addiction and to treat addictions with the same level of support services as any physical ailments that students have.

The issue right now is that online casino and land gambling is still rampant around the United States despite the fact that the federal government has banned internet gambling at the transactional level. The Task Force has expanded on the issue and noted that the online casinos are actually targeting college level adults with internet gambling advertisements and promotions and yet there are very few policies in place to educate young adults about the internet gambling industry and preventing gambling addictions from forming.

The advent of mobile gambling and other key technologies that link with the online casino gambling industry has also increased the number of college-aged gamblers seeking out land, internet, and mobile gaming opportunities. The task force is calling for the universities and colleges in the United States to take some social responsibility and begin offering support and educational services about the land and online gambling industries.
