  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Underage gambling is a significant issue with distinct characteristics compared to adult gambling.

  • Utilized the Brief Adolescent Gambling Screen (BAGS) to assess problem gambling symptoms.
  • 4,617 students completed a detailed questionnaire on gambling behaviors.

Main Results:

  • 23.5% of students reported lifetime gambling (16.2% in-person, 1.4% online, 6% both).
  • 1.9% exhibited problem gambling symptoms (BAGS score ≥ 4).
  • In-person gambling often involved sports betting machines in bars without age verification; online gambling focused on sports betting via websites using services like PayPal and credit cards. Most gambled with friends for money, with problem gamblers gambling more frequently.
