Show Notes

Recorded in late 2025, Les Bernal, national director of Stop Predatory Gambling, and Saul Malek, board member of the Texas Coalition on Problem Gambling, join host Jim Falk to examine the rapid spread of sports betting among young adults and teens. Their conversation traces the industry's rapid growth since the 2018 Supreme Court ruling, draws on Malek's firsthand experience with gambling addiction, and asks whether state governments can protect young people from an industry they now profit from.
