Gambling
The New York Council on Problem Gambling (NYCPG) defines gambling as any activity (e.g. a game of chance or skill) where an item of value is placed at risk in an attempt to gain something of greater value. Anyone involved in gambling activities has the potential to develop an addiction, however some individuals and groups are more at-risk.
Problem gambling can start young; really young. In fact, 39.5% of youth age 12-17 have gambled this past year, and 30% of these youth state that they began gambling at age 10 or younger. The earlier a child starts gambling, the more likely they are to have problems due to gambling.

YOU(th) Decide is dedicated to empowering youth, age 12-17, to make educated decisions about gambling, to increase awareness of underage gambling among parents and community influencers, and to increase community readiness to prevent underage gambling by reducing youth access to gambling.This project is run in partnership with the New York Council on Problem Gambling.
