Reply to "New panel interview on single-event sports betting!"

Great clip - I agree that Dr. Turner had some balanced views. Definitely think we'll see some increased advertising! I'm interested in the points made that legalized SESB will likely divert money into legal streams that have the potential to:

1) help people come into contact with responsible gambling (RG) platforms and 2) a portion of that diverted money can be used to fund treatment and education.

I'm also curious how likely the first point is, given these types of bets might not be made in areas that have much RG messaging or people to interact with (e.g., at a convenience store or online). I'm also not familiar enough with the way things are funded to know if the second point will happen as written. Anyone have any insight?
