Also, research shows that between 2 to 7 percent of youth develop a gambling problem. These facts and more are highlighted in the latest video from the National Center for Responsible Gaming (NCRG), titled “What is a Gambling Disorder?” This video was designed so that everyone can understand the latest science-based information about gambling disorders, including whom and how many people the addiction impacts and resources available for help.




Please watch and share this two-minute video that answers key questions on this issue with up-to-date research. This is the first video from the NCRG’s latest education initiative, and we’ll bring you more videos as they’re available
