WATCH: Webinar on youth gambling

Professor Jonathan Carapetis hosts the webinar alongside MP Kate Chaney and Dr Vincent Mancini

Embrace recently hosted a webinar on the changing face of gambling behaviour, with panellists including MP Kate Chaney, Dr Vincent Mancini, Dr Krista Fisher and lived experience advocate Mark Kempster.

The webinar follows recent research by Senior Research Fellow Dr Vincent Mancini which found that young men who participate in sports and fantasy sports gambling are at a higher risk of developing problem gambling behaviours. 

This research challenged conventional wisdom that pokies are the greatest source of harm in the gambling industry.

Dr Mancini’s paper, which used data from Australia’s most extensive and longest-running study on male health, the Ten to Men Study, highlighted the generational differences in gambling behaviours.
