This research examined gambling and gaming behaviours of young people of varying ages and parents with children between 8 to 17 years old. The researchers surveyed 2,651 participants. The results revealed that many young people and parents played games that combine gambling and gaming. Playing social casino games and video games for money was related to more severe gambling problems. Parents who played these games and had a gambling problem also had more concerns about their child’s gambling and gaming.
