Sports betting is growing rapidly and so are the risks. Approximately 27% of U.S. adults have an active online sports betting account, and gross gaming revenue has reached $16.96 billion (Track360). Even as Americans increasingly say legal sports betting is bad for society (Pew Research Center, October 1, 2025), many still see it as harmless entertainment. Concerns continue to rise among youth, young adults, student and professional athletes, women, and men of color, who may face increased risk for harmful betting behaviors.

Join this upcoming webinar to examine current trends in sports betting, challenge common misconceptions, and learn prevention strategies that can make a meaningful impact. Participants will leave with practical approaches to increase public awareness of lower-risk betting and strengthen connections to problem gambling care resources.

Culture shapes how people understand risk, seek support, and connect with services. Using an equity-centered lens, this webinar explores gambling-related harms in Latino communities and examines how cultural values, family relationships, and community experiences influence prevention and help-seeking behaviors. Participants will learn practical strategies for fostering trust, strengthening partnerships, and expanding access to culturally responsive, trauma-informed services while addressing Structural Determinants of Health (SDOH) and systemic inequities that affect health and well-being. Together, we will explore pathways to more effective prevention, intervention, and community impact.
