Abstract
Last month the Heather Maurer, executive director of the National Council on Problem Gambling resigned after taking $2 million from Kalshi, a prediction market. The problems of gambling addiction and problem gambling have been growing with online sports betting and prediction markets. With no money from the federal government for problem gambling, and a growing commercial investment in gambling, it's hard to see how young people will have a treatment or even a respite from the lure. A year ago FanDuel signed gambling addiction advocate, until then NCPG, chief, Keith Whyte.
上个月,全国问题赌博委员会(National Council on Problem Gambling)的执行董事希瑟·毛雷尔(Heather Maurer)在从预测市场Kalshi拿走200万美元后辞职。随着在线体育博彩和预测市场的发展,赌博成瘾和问题赌博的问题日益严重。由于联邦政府没有为问题赌博提供资金,而对赌博的商业投资不断增加,很难想象年轻人将如何得到治疗,甚至是暂时摆脱诱惑。一年前,范杜埃尔签下了赌博成瘾倡导者、当时的NCPG首席执行官凯斯·怀特。
