Addiction experts fear the fallout if California legalizes sports betting

There are two ballot propositions this fall aimed at capturing California's sports betting market. The Supreme Court ruled in 2018 that states could legalize betting on sports. At stake is $3.1 billion in annual revenue. Addiction experts are worried about one proposition more than the other. Sports betting is already legal in some form in 36 states and Washington, D.C. and calls to gambling hotlines spiked in Michigan, Connecticut, and New York after they allowed it. National Problem Gambling Helpline Network reported a 45% increase in inquiries in 2021.
