normal lives dealing for generation of young people that today to watch a sporting event. you're not a sports fan anymore unless you're dealing on the game. there was a national ban on sports gambling into the supreme court over turned it in 2018. it's not legal and most of the country as the industry expands, it's easier than ever to place bets. 30 states now allow people to sports, but on their phones. if money is the substance, the problem gamblers abuse. and mobile phone is basically that the means of, of getting high. we're seeing the kinds of sports spinning now. it's not just unprecedented american history. it's unprecedented in the world. i got friends that i would say our admin, avid gamble is you know what i mean, i don't know why some of them are because some of them, i'm like, well, you lose every time i do. what do you think they keep doing? it's, it's all like, like in my it's the, it's just the why we scroll on our phone. if you live within 50 miles of the casino, you're much more likely to become addicted with online gambling. any going onto

phones that 50 miles becomes for all of us. 5 inches. you'll people who literally will gamble on their phones or on their computers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. people just press the button all day long. and we've turn this into a nation of visual emphasis on this episode of but once we look at the rapid expansion of both of them with us and the tactics companies use to real gamblers it and then keep them there. they gave me a 100 percent. no stress that the 100 and they could give you like if you lose this, the no stress they give you rather on correct why they don't give you the money back. they give you a credit. so you can still take that a new $100.00 infinity right? right, even though what they're giving you isn't money, what they're never knew why. i definitely don't give you money. they want to keep you in action, correct. that's what the bonus though there's, there's not money is keeping you in at correct to keep you locked in. yeah, yeah,

it's almost like is a set up. you think it's kind of scary. this conversation is making me on the americas in the midst of the sports betting them. but that's not the only kind of gambling that takes place on thoughts at the psychiatric conference in pittsburgh, doctor could be the fisher's teaching conditions about gambling addiction. roughly $1.00 and $5.00 gamblers all attempt suicide estimates go all the way up to 40 percent. problem gamblers, she's a licensed child psychiatrist, but in the last few years, she's becoming unwitting expert on problem gambling. i have gone through a pretty rough divorce. i was single and isolated during the pandemic, so i think that probably contributed a feeling lonely. she turned online gambling apps after her 2 young kids went to

sleep, downloaded draft kings, were you looking to gamble and sports? no more on the online casino, i felt real. there were actual live dealers and other people playing that were on the chat. you can see them, but they're on the chat, so it mimics more of a social experience. it wasn't long before she started wagering serious money. sunday is i would deposit a $12000.00. so if you're doing the math that ends up quickly, she wrecked up $80000.00 in credit card debt to get a loan from her retirement account and had to get the 2nd mortgage on her house. she says she lost more than $400000.00 gambling across several different apps. and just didn't feel as real as putting actual cash on the table or actual cash into the machine. it just felt very, a felt like a game over the next 6 years. the american people are on course to lose more than one trillion dollars of personal wealth to commercialize cameras. and yet the

momentum to legalize on like gambling, speeding across the country, unabated state by state. well, the day is finally here. sports bedding is launching in north carolina the via our data. we came to north carolina and march just days after the state legalized online sports gambling. oh. in just in time for one of the americas most gambled on sporting events, march 9 is not, is, can date it is the last week, the whole month, the country will turn into more than 130 college basketball games over the next 3 weeks. americans are expected to legally campbell, nearly $3000000000.00 throughout the tournament. 2 and chief boomer is in his last year at the university of north carolina. i'm studying business. and today's the 1st day of march madness, how many. but since you have today a lot, i used all the promise today. so i don't know,

maybe 1012 parlors and apparently multiple bits are rolled into one single wager with the larger ppo. you have 2 in every one of them. so there's a higher risk, but a higher reward amongst your friends. how many of of them would know immediately what a parlay is. uh, probably like 90 plus percent of them. 90 plus percent of your friends would know what a parlay is. yeah. like this is for different teens in this way. then i got like a lot on you and see obviously the legal age depend on sports is generally 21. at some fantasy sports apps allow gamblers is youngest 18. the online gaming industry has had young men and it's gone sides since the very beginning. so we've gone from collecting sports cards of your favorite athletes and putting posters on the wall. and now it's all about poly bags in play. wagering. have you seen a lot of advertising for gambling apps? oh yeah, there's lot of advertising like every time i like any time you're watching the game

on tv. anytime i open like instagram or twitter like there's an ad for vandal draft kings. we've got all the numbers in every time they throw the ball, stick to online sports books. spent $2000000000.00 on advertising and 2023 alone. you know, we know the user expose to very high rates of gambling advertising and whether or not it's intended or targeted. they're being exposed. alex users, you, i, but in doing drugs easy out a little bit better lines and gm in that 365 for the signing bonuses. how important is it that you can do this through a phone as opposed to going to a sports, but it definitely makes me a lot more inclined if i do it from like my phone or laptop, then like physically going somewhere to place to that. how many times you've actually gone in place to sports, but something or maybe never as online sports, gambling becomes more mainstream. for spirit growing addiction crisis, cost again like helpline, a sky rocketed. we spoke with dozens of people who were in recovery for gambling

addiction. most of them didn't want to speak about it on camera. my whole life is on my phone. i had instagram and facebook when i was 13. i got snapshot right around the same time. we spoke to one young man who's 23 years old. he asked us to can see it was identity for fear of losing his job. if it weren't for your job, would you feel? but shame about this, i would feel indescribable shame. what makes it so shameful that i would dedicate this much time and mental space to something that i wasn't even getting high or physically enjoying the group with a tight knit family of 4, in which supports play the key part and is operating it was the cornerstone of my relationship and my brother's relationship with our dad and brought an indescribable amount of meaning to, to my life. he didn't know anything about sports betting until he went to college. not long after arriving on campus. he placed his 1st ever sports. but did you ever

have a, like a you are up a lot of money. at some point. i want one a draft kings pool for $6000.00 off of like the $20.00 entry. it must escalate it pretty quickly there. huh. you can only watch one game at a time, but you can bet on 30 or it was world soccer in general. it's on 24 hours a day. it would not be ready. you know, a regular for me to be in that on my phone from, you know, call it 8 am to noon or even later for games on it. ones, bedding, all them bedding, you know bulgarian romania and he told us he lost more than $50000.00 gambling. you know, every deadline and stuff for myself. you know start vetting when i turn 21. i mean i was a joke. stop vetting when i graduate college, stop that. and when i start working, stop getting. when i turn 22, i blew through every deadline. how does it affect your relationships? i wouldn't be visiting my girlfriend and i would just go in with my phone,

sit on the toilet, rattle off 10. that's all of a sudden my girlfriend doesn't know. i have $2000.00 in, in, got embedding risk. those moments. i would think to myself, in the corner, i mean like in my associate pastor, you have someone 18 even 20 to their ability to make the decisions and the impulsivity still isn't fully developed. and then you put something like a, you know, a gambling app on a, on a phone and there's no speed bumps or guard rails. there's nothing to slow them down. it's a perfect storm. part of the addictive nature of mobile sports betting as a gamblers can wager on any sport anywhere in the world any time they want. we used to bet in america on american sports. now if you want to be inactive better, there are thousands of games available. each day, online gambling companies collect data on users to track who they've been on when

they met in a host of other personal details, the tracking of your intimate data, even your health data, your menstrual cycle data, your financial data. so many things that happen on your phone are visible to these companies. hey guys. yes, yeah, that is here. finally, a sports book from your favorite sports brand algorithms and even artificial intelligence are used to make the apps very appealing, very sticky, very addicting. this is a laboratory for experimenting with people and their behavior. sports gambling operators break didn't nearly $11000000000.00 in 2023. but they still see room to grow with the i gaming space. gaming, as an industry euphemism for online casino gambling. my crew left for slot machines under recent earnings call, the ceo draft kings referred to it as an unlocked gym for the company. a lot of

people are sort of sleeping on it a little bit and maybe are just focused on how big the support side can be and not realizing the id and these die to make the business even larger. sports gaming gets people in the door. right, right. and why they make money from it, where they make the most money is getting to do to transition over to the online casino portion of it. so fan dual draft kings at their base. these are the online casino operators. if this was a new people lost $1700000000.00 in 2023 to casinos, the middle of wagering on mobile devices more than 3 times the amount lost on sports betting. it's one of only 7 states with this type of gambling is legal. to beat us prefer game, it's called swing. go. like a single single game resembling bingo. think about it as a slot. machines been for few seconds. one second for $12000.00. i think there are days where i started gambling at 10 p. m. and at last to like $2000.00 by 11

and spent from 11 pm to 4 a, i'm trying to get that money back in failing. and then finally, going to bad it for um, getting up and doing it again. the next day. she was chasing or losses. for compulsive gamblers, it can be a vicious cycle. if you're a citizen that shows the likelihood of chasing your license, you know, which is the number one indicator of somebody who's an addictive gamble like you're chase your losses. you don't, you are as a human operator like, you shouldn't be immediate check, but hey, we need to stop. this part of this is the person we shouldn't be marketing into draft kings took the opposite approach and assigned to her a v i. p. host to keep her an action, they would provide incentives for me and to make sure that i'm having a good experience online. there would be different things like tickets to stealers games. say about a woman a single mom and she's young and all of the site and she's got

a v i. p person and reaching out to her and she's got someone giving her football tickets. she's thinking i finally made it like there's a hook to that. and there's a, there's a big price to that as well. it became her son noticed that something wasn't right . and i told him, oh, it's from mark. and he said, i didn't see any of your co workers here. and i heard a lot of people talking about gambling and draft kings. he's like, did you get this? could you use a draft kings at mom like this is coming from a at the time it was 12. yeah. and what, so what do you tell them? i was completely honest with them and i said yes and mom is going to stop using that up. but she couldn't stop. at this point, she was chasing more than just our losses. i just couldn't stop placing the bed for that anticipation for that rushed which came up short one month on her mortgage. she turned her draft kings via the host for help. there was a time where i emailed him and said, hey, this draft kings ever give out loans cuz i'm having

a hard time paying my mortgage this month. he said no. and then he wrote back and said, do you have a problem gambling? and i said no, just asking, we took her e mails to a professor in new york university. natasha show is the author of addiction by design, and an expert and how the gambling industry. we'll send their clients to look at what's he asked. does draft kings ever give small loans? this is really concerning cuz she is voicing in her email that she short on her mortgage. also saying, probably this means i need to quit gambling. and it does seem like the 1st response is taking that seriously. asking if she's playing within her means budget, but then when she sends back this one liner, yes, i'm playing within my means. okay, perfect. you know, let's, let's give you 250 click the claim to get you back in action. and there's something about that phrase back in action, right?

i mean that's, that's a term that gamblers use to describe that kind of rush, right? there's an amazing exchange here, but i guess i assume that it's par for the course and there's many more out there like this. oh, are you gambling beyond your means? you know, like it was something his email communications to, but they know, damn well, you know, you don't need it. you don't need any knowledge of addiction science to know, like this person's and out of control gambling. and even with a conscience, you know, knows this has, this has been probably wrong. what they're doing. we emailed draft kings about to be the story and they didn't respond. we called her v i p house directly. hey, my name is josh frustrating. i have a stroke of fault lines on address or english, and i'm working on the episode about sports gambling recovery and could be the fisher story. i was wondering if i could ask you some questions because he doesn't

want to talk we could be to was deep in debt. she was throwing a lifelong. she started to win and win big. the game at such a high winning street like it wasn't like, oh, i lost in between. it was continuous winning for 48 hours. she would have nearly half a $1000000.00 enough to clear debts. but at this point, it was more about doping me than dollars. i know nero biologically, it's extremely hard to stop because your brain needs that level of doping. mean that's already so high and you start having withdrawal symptoms. if you don't keep playing, she couldn't bring herself to withdraw the money that the end when i lost it all, there is also the sense of relief which i can explain. the majority of prophets come from those players. the people who play to keep playing, who never are really going to take their money out of the game. in psychiatry, gambling addiction is classified in the same categories, cocaine and heroin. you can't really design heroin. it comes with its properties

sort of already built in. but you can build whole companies with massive hundreds of people on design teams for every little element and aspect of these apps, right? but the pacing of the apps, what they look like, the little graphics that explode on um, um the algorithms behind it seems to me that the same algorithm that identified you as someone to give the ip service to the same kind of algorithm that kind of let you to say to help? i think so. but why do you think it in wide and big farm on tell consumers that opiates could be so dangerous, they made it sound like these are the new pain pills. and you know, there's no risk of getting addicted or having these long term effects. and here we are in an open right up at the american how long is it going to take before we're

in a gambling academic gambling has become so normalized in america. the nfl chose las vegas to states the 2024 super bowl who was the most watched game in history and the most gambled. one with the americans wagering more than $23000000000.00. for decades, professional teams avoided the biggest because they didn't want to damage the integrity of their support times of change. you know, we are the exclusive official life of the nfl teams at the store. this is radio ro, through the world, media comes to cover the biggest game and it's always full of traditional broadcasters. but this year, 2 of the sets getting the biggest present the biggest stars are both sports gambling. we spend one draft kings for on camera interviews, but they decline both companies,

definitely known celebrities to help them market their platforms, the boys and girls, children of all ages. referent. koski was one of the greatest football players, will talk to kick destiny, to excuse the star from the massive scene to a marketing campaign. all right, another question from fault lines. why was it important for you to endorse vandal? particularly the time with a lot of concerned about the growing up a demick of a problem. gambling with young man, the kind of young men who look up to you as well as vans or the number one leading in sports park in america. and i'm a championship guy, i love when he championship, so i love being with the number one team outside of the field as well. and on top of a fam do it does a great job with responsible gambling. they're always representing, you know, bet, responsibly, don't go out there, but your paycheck, you know, on a weekly basis, go out there and just make the game more intriguing with a say that i just use fan jewels. responsible gaming tools like time and spending

limits to manage my plan. that's the system. the industry says they take responsible gambling very serious. is that the framework to approach this by that is absolutely a p r campaign. it is a total deflection away from any responsibility on the part of the designers who are spending huge budgets, manipulating every little color and sound and tweak on these things. you'll get a best in class experience with everything you want out of a sports book. and also a total deflection of responsibility away from the marketing practices that are just constantly trying to pull you back, pull you back, pull you back for someone to recovery. responsible. gambling is not an option, nor is living daily life without constant reminders that online gambling is just a click away. is it easy to avoid seeing casino ads these days? they're everywhere. i mean, any sports game, any,

just driving home from this speech today. so now, oh, there were about 3 that i saw right on the highway. you mentioned in your talk today that one in 5 problem gamblers attempt suicide x, the financial desperation that eventually people see it as the only way out. i thought about it. i'm worth $2000000.00 if i'm not here and that could take care of all my debt. it could take care of my kids. and the thing that prevents me from going any further than i thought is my children being there for them as mothers. very important a how long is your payoff plan? how many years we'd be sending it off, 3 to 5. that sounds like a presence and that's $3.00 to $5.00 with their behavior. yeah, but it's good behavior. exactly unable to stop gambling online could be to registered with appropriate run by the state that prevents her from accessing

counseling websites. but it turns out that wasn't enough. she found a loophole. a category of online games. they're not considered gambling by the state. i called them headed and gamlee apps like solitaire cash or bubble cash or any of those that literally look like game last 7. and then like in the last 2 months on solitaire cash and bubble cash. in fact, at the end of solitaire cash, i was offered a v i. p host, and 13 days, 2 hours, 24 minutes and 41 seconds. so, do you still felt the temptation all the time? because he did wasn't the only one who found a work around to keep gambling and all let me open page, got a draft kings the 23 year old we interviewed, installed an app that prevents it from accessing family websites out our website. but even that wasn't enough. what was the last time you placed about 9 days ago,

i had a one day relapse after 2 months clean. i figured out that i could actually access the sites through my work phone. and so i brought my work phone to my co and soccer league that i, you know, was one of the alice and i've wanted to use for recovery. i was all sitting there, all my work, phone rattling off, you know, $500.00 to a $1000.00 worth advance. i'm definitely not in control. my heart breaks for people . you know, whether you're an adult or a young person like it is physically change your brain chemistry, like that, brain chemistry isn't easy to share, we change back, you know, i, so i used to be susceptible this really for the rest of your life. i really fell in love with sports. it's just such a important part of, of society and a culture and then dining just kind of kind of like a cancer just kind of latched on and spread. i honestly,

i just don't see how it gets better until it gets a whole lot worse. the hundreds and then millions. stephens times does the delicacy value just as highly by cartels in the mafia. price per kilogram is equivalent to several different trucks with exclusive access phone lines joins the environmental. prosecute is turning the tide on the criminals, exposing the list of the world of wildlife trafficking and its devastating impact on the planet solutions. the shocks and hunches on al jazeera bryan has um, one says it's too soon to know if this new currency, the ball, the gold was big, will make a difference to his daddy. like, like millions of other people living in a country with one of the highest deflation rates in the world. he wants to bobby's economy to improve physics, replace this and bobby and donna,

and it's backed by gold reserves and fine cars. commodities such as input, duties, rent, and fuel, a paid with us dollars. that means and bobby, and still have to change the $6.00. the police to be know anything, a legal money changes operating without a license. undermining. you've hired the government. he does want people to change their money is i'm always back and not many here haven't seen the signature yet. people are buying and selling mainly in us dollars. they say over the years, it's be more stable. that's always money to use the currency, doesn't these value wrap in that coaching? take them into a unique perspective. a deep fake image of donald trump with flat folders to try to win over black voters. these aren't real, but the harm is incredibly realized on hud voices. it's our responsibility to make sure that future generations are not lied to connect with our community and tap

into conversations you weren't find elsewhere. young americans, in particular, have been extremely critical of the united states as role in the us. the stream on al jazeera, the guys, those few remaining hospitals under pressure doctors on patients forced to leave, allowed on after is really towards the troops for the medical, for some of the challenges. 0 life for my headquarters in delphi and getting and navigate to also coming up in the occupied westbank at least 12 palestinians have been killed by is really forces during the.
