Podcasts about Online gambling

Welcome back to Ditch the Labcoat. Today's episode dives deep into a topic that's been quietly reshaping lives and families across the globe: gambling addiction. Host Dr. Mark Bonta sits down with Dr. Daniela Lobo, a leading expert in addiction psychiatry, to explore just how dramatically gambling—especially online and sports betting—has surged in prevalence, fueled by intensive marketing and made even more accessible by the pandemic's isolation.Together, Dr. Bonta and Dr. Lobo break down the reality behind those flashy ads and glossy casino images, peeling back the curtain on the true costs of problem gambling. They explore not just the personal financial and mental fallout, but the ripple effects that devastate families, drive up debt, worsen mental health struggles, and even intersect with substance use disorders. As gambling apps, sports betting, and even crypto-trading continue to blur the lines between entertainment and addiction, the doctors unpack why so many young adults—and increasingly, teens—find themselves hooked.Dr. Lobo shares practical insights for recognizing gambling problems, supporting loved ones, and opening honest conversations with kids. Most importantly, they question whether the billions gained in gambling revenue are truly worth the social and health costs we're only beginning to acknowledge.If you've ever wondered what really drives gambling addiction, how to spot it, or what responsible action looks like for individuals and society, you won't want to miss this eye-opening, evidence-based conversation. Let's ditch the lab coat and get real about gambling in our modern age.Episode LessonsGambling Addiction: Not a Choice — A medical disorder with devastating consequences, not a weakness or bad habit.Online Gambling's Rapid Expansion — Pandemic and marketing fueled a surge, making betting more accessible than ever.Marketing Drives Gambling Behaviors — Aggressive ads and sports integration normalize betting, increasing risks across all ages.Health Impact Beyond Money — Gambling harms mental, emotional, and even physical health, adding layers of stress.Younger Generations at Risk — Sports and digital platforms expose youth to gambling without proper safeguards.Overlap With Other Addictions — Gambling often co-occurs with mental health and substance use disorders.Paths to Treatment and Recovery — Counseling, family support, financial planning, and early intervention provide hope.Financial Ruin and Family Toll — Hidden gambling devastates households, with debt triggering further destructive cycles.Policy and Regulation Matter — Weak oversight allows profit-driven expansion while shifting costs to families.Prevention Through Education — Open dialogue and awareness reduce risks, counter marketing, and build resilience.Episode Timestamps03:21 – Addiction's Evolving Forms: Gambling Alert 07:08 – COVID-19's Impact on Gambling Behavior 11:56 – Gambling's Mental and Physical Toll 13:48 – Accessibility Fuels Gambling Issues 18:03 – Teens, Gambling, and Sports Obsession 22:25 – Problem Gambling's Significant Impact 25:36 – Gambling Disorders and Mental Health 29:18 – iGaming Self-Exclusion & Support 30:30 – Supporting Families with Addicted Loved Ones 36:00 – Modern Gambling: Signs and Challenges 39:02 – Gambling and Risk Awareness Conversation 42:33 – Understanding Moderation and Gambling Risks 45:23 – Ethics of Gambling Expansion 47:03 – Cautionary Insights on Gambling AppsDISCLAMER >>>>>>    The Ditch Lab Coat podcast serves solely for general informational purposes and does not serve as a substitute for professional medical services such as medicine or nursing.

Professional Sports Bettor and advantage gambler Bill "Krackman" Krackomberger joins Jon Orlando to discuss some wild stories going on in Las Vegas and the gambling world, gambling at the airport, a new viral video, Krackman's trip to LA and another CRAZY parlay from our friends at WagerWire.

If you're a footballer or have a young footballer in the family there's a chance you received an email from New Zealand Football on Friday asking you to have your say on the new Online Casino Gambling (OCG) Bill. It's not just New Zealand Football who are making their participants aware of how this bill could potentially impact them. 33 of our biggest sports codes have come together in an impressively coordinated effort to warn the Government about the massive impact this bill could have on community sport. Basically - it will likely become more expensive for you or your kids to belong to a club if new online gambling outlets aren't required to hand over a percentage of their revenue for local community good. For the last 50 years or so, we've balanced a trade off when it comes to gambling. It is legal, but a share of gambling revenues must go back to the community. Currently, $170 million every year is distributed by gaming trusts to community sport. We all know the trade off - some good comes out of something which is damaging for others. The global online casino market is experiencing unprecedented growth. In 2024, the market was valued at approximately US $19.7 billion, and it's projected to reach $56.8 billion by 2033. New Zealanders can already access offshore gambling websites, but it is against the law to host these websites in New Zealand. So to get in on the action and clip the ticket along the way, the Government is proposing a framework for licensing and regulation of up to 15 online casino gambling operators in NZ, allowing revenue to be brought back into NZ, local oversight and consumer protections. Now, this may sound like a perfectly reasonable approach to you - but there is one thing missing. And that is the community contribution, or an alternative revenue stream for these community organisations. If online gambling grows as expected, less people will be spending their money on traditional gambling outlets. Less revenue means less grants, sport becomes more expensive and out of reach for much of the community, and grass root sports organisations which are already struggling… disappear. No amount of sausage sizzles is going to cover the declining funding. The argument that these new online casinos should not have to make community payments because it would be a perverse incentive to increase gambling activity to increase revenue to cover the contribution - is plain silly. I'm pretty sure increasing gambling activity is one of their main KPI's, regardless of where the revenue goes. And if the Government is worried about New Zealand becoming one of the highest taxed jurisdictions for online gambling, then set aside some of the tax revenue to make up for the lost community funding. Why are we pandering to online gambling outfits? To do so makes what is already an uncomfortable trade-off just feel wonky. Club sport is part of Kiwi culture. It gets us off our devices and outdoors. It gets us moving, it keeps us connected and working together, and it teaches us to be humble. It inspires tenacity, persistence and determination. It allows us to dream and be ambitious and achieve great things. It makes us laugh and cry, celebrate and commiserate, and brings out the best and sometimes worst in us. Without it we will have lost something that's core to our communities. What a ridiculous thing to put at risk. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government's newly introduced Online Casino Gambling (OCG) Bill has been met with backlash from some on New Zealand's leading sporting bodies. The legislation would regulate online casinos and allow them to operate in New Zealand, but concerns have been raised that the bill won't make them return community funding grants. Cycling NZ Chair Martin Snedden says this bill poses as risk to the future of local sport - as it benefits greatly from such grants. "Sport thrived off the back of that - at the moment, sports are really struggling with the economic environment, accessing sponsorship money's impossible. Local Governments are naturally pulling back because they're in financial trouble themselves, there's a whole confluence of economic problems."

In the first of a two part series, we investigate the explosive growth of online gambling since the Covid-19 pandemic. While betting company revenues have soared, many South African individuals and families are facing the consequences. We hear from recovering gambling addicts and explore how economic hardship, weak regulation, and the prevalence of mobile betting platforms are fuelling a national crisis. If you are affected by harmful gambling or are suffering distress or despair you could speak to a health professional, or an organisation that offers support. Details of help available for despair in some countries can be found at Befrienders Worldwide (www.befrienders.org)Produced and presented by Frey Lindsay(Image: South African businessman looking at phone.

Ray White speaks to Sibongile Simelane, Executive Director at the South African Responsible Gambling Foundation, as concerns mount over South Africa’s spiralling gambling addiction. More than R1.1 trillion has been lost not on food, housing, or education but on gambling, much of it online and via mobile phones. With even teenagers getting hooked, and reports of SASSA grants and loans being used to fund bets, the human cost is rising: debt, depression, and despair. As the gambling industry booms, we ask: who’s protecting the vulnerable? What role is the government playing? And what impact is this silent epidemic having on our already fragile economy? 702 Breakfast with Bongani Bingwa is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station.

In today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, Ted Orme-Claye, Viktor Kayed, and Ted Menmuir break down the recent removal of Gibraltar and the UAE from the EU's Anti-Money Laundering (AML) watch list. Viktor, who originally broke the story for SBC News, details why this delisting marks a crucial turning point for these markets. Gibraltar, long regarded as a premier hub for European gaming operators and B2B technology providers, has worked swiftly to address shortcomings flagged by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF)—strengthening its AML controls, asset seizure processes, and gambling oversight to restore its market reputation and access to EU business channels.The discussion then shifts to the United Arab Emirates, a fast-emerging player in the global iGaming scene. The UAE's removal from the AML list follows its creation of the General Commercial Gaming Regulatory Authority (GCGRA), a step towards a legalised and regulated gaming environment in the region. With Wynn Resorts' Ras Al Khaimah project on the horizon, the UAE is positioning itself not just as a potential destination for high-end land-based gaming but also as a future hub for game development, technology platforms, and iGaming investment—serving as a bridge to key Asian markets. However, the three caution against overestimating its immediate impact on broader online gambling in Asia, pointing to the unique complexities of neighboring countries such as China, India, and Japan.This episode highlights why these regulatory shifts are a game-changer for investors, gaming operators, and tech innovators alike. The removal from the EU and FATF “gray lists” reduces financial risk, removes regulatory barriers, and sends a strong signal of market credibility—opening doors for partnerships, funding, and new ventures in both Gibraltar and the UAE.

We turn our attention to the Netherlands on today's episode of iGaming Daily, sponsored by Optimove, as Ted Orme-Claye of SBC News steps into the host's chair, joined by his namesake, Ted Menmuir, to discuss the Dutch market, a jurisdiction shrouded in political instability that puts the betting market at risk. Later in the episode, Viktor Kayed calls in live from an incredibly well timed Gaming in Holland conference, and gives updates on the discussions from the conference rooms in Amsterdam. Firstly, the two Teds discuss the collapse of the Dutch four-party coalition, the impact of this political instability on the betting market, give some context as to why coalitions across Europe have led to less secure regulatory environments, and highlight existing Dutch gambling regulations, such as age restrictions, advertising bans, and deposit limits.There is also a large focus on the black market, something that poses a serious threat to the regulated market in the Netherlands, and where the Dutch regulators, the KSA, stand on all of this.

A woman who got addicted to online casino gambling and stole $300,000 to feed her habit is warning the government against opening up a large online casino gambling market. Guyon Espiner is investigating the new online casino market and filed this story.

SkyCity and the TAB have complained there won't be a level playing field when the new regulations for online gambling kick in. The Government is set to auction off 15 online casino licences - and both local and international companies will be allowed to bid on the licences.

Step into the digital arena of online gambling, where college men are placing their bets and risking it all.

Nick, a recent college grad, says he's a professional sports bettor who makes a living off of a website he made to give tips and advice to other gamblers. Harry, a recovered addict, and gambling therapist, is on the front lines and says apps and websites are designed to addict young men.
