An Unsafe Bet? The Dangerous Rise of Gambling and the Debate We Should Be Having reveals how gambling represents a danger to public health due to its inherent addiction potential, which is being intentionally downplayed by the gambling industry and governments. This book aims to lay bare the extent of gambling and its effects on society, and exposes the dilemma for policy makers who are charged with protecting public health but also increasingly dependent on revenues earned from gambling.
