Gambling in America has exploded since the Supreme Court’s 2018 decision, with sportsbooks targeting young people, flooding social media with ads, and introducing micro-betting powered by AI. In this interview, Congressman Paul Tonko discusses the Safe Bet Act, a bill designed to put guardrails on the gambling industry and address the hidden public health crisis of gambling addiction. We cover how gambling operators use marketing to lure in vulnerable populations, why young men are especially at risk, and the alarming link between gambling addiction and suicide. Congressman Tonko shares what reforms are needed to protect families and make this known addictive product safer before it’s too late. If you or someone you love has been impacted by gambling, this conversation is essential. Recovery is possible — but change must happen. Learn how policymakers and advocates are working together to create accountability in the gambling industry.
