Parents of teenage kids admit they might not know if their children are betting online, according to a recent poll conducted by the University of Michigan’s C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital.
The poll, which surveyed 923 adults with at least one child between the ages of 14 and 18, shared that 16% of respondents thought they “probably would not know” if their teenage child gambled online. Another 30% said they “think they might know,” leaving 46% of respondents unsure if their teenage kids wager online.
Only 2% of parents believe their kids have used an online gambling platform, while just 25% of respondents have spoken with their teenage child about online sports betting and online casinos.
