Context and Nuances of Treating Sports Betting within Gambling Disorder
Description
Since 2018, the availability of sports betting has rapidly expanded across the US and is now legal in 37 States and the District of Columbia. Since legalization, Americans have wagered over $300 billion on sports, including almost $1.8 Oregon. With increased availability to gambling comes increased prevalence of gambling problems. The purpose of this 2-hour webinar is to provide addiction treatment providers with background information regarding gambling disorder, sports betting mechanics and technology, clinical characteristics of sports bettors, and nuances of providing treatment.
Learning Objectives
- Attendees will be able to describe different types of bets that sports bettors can make, including prop, points, parlay, and live bets, and the mechanics by which they make these bets.
- Attendees will be able to identify important demographic and clinical characteristics that differentiate individuals with gambling problems who primarily engage in sports betting versus other forms of gambling (e.g., slot machines).
- Attendees will be able to discuss how to tailor or adjust common problem gambling treatment approaches within the context of sports betting, including motivational interviewing.
