Teens are seeing more gambling than we think…and it is not harmless. The Too Young To Bet youth stats show real risk, including that many teens report gambling in the last year. Parents, talk early, set clear family rules, watch the apps and games that include betting features, model healthy money habits, and keep lottery tickets and sports betting out of kids’ hands.
