High Gambling Rates Among 13-17 Year Olds in New Jersey

A new study from Rutgers University found that 42.7% of young people aged 13 to 17 in the United States gambled in some form within the past year.

According to the study, about 11% of young people who gamble were classified as high risk for problem gambling. This rate suggests that some young players may lose control quickly.

The same study reported that 52.5% of Americans aged 13 to 27 gambled. Because the source text ends at this point, the study's other findings and its methodology cannot be detailed.

Experts often stress that starting to gamble at a young age can pave the way for serious addiction problems in later years. For this reason, it is being said that young people's access to gambling, the advertising of these products, and the enforcement of age limits need to be addressed again.
