As parents and community members, we all want what’s best for our kids—and that includes protecting their future. Gambling apps and sports betting are reaching teens earlier than ever, and it’s not just harmless fun. Youth who start gambling are 4x more likely to develop serious issues later. Let’s stay informed, start the conversations, and protect our youth. DontRegretTheBet.org.

#ICYMI: our 40th podcast episode is now live. Not all machines that look like simple coin op or amusement games are what they seem. Many of these devices actually operate as illegal gambling machines—games of chance with little player control and outcomes that aren’t always transparent. If you spot a suspicious machine in Michigan, report it to the MGCB at 1 888 314 2682. This episode features our Criminal Investigations Manager, who breaks down how these machines work and why they’re a problem. 🎧 Listen now on all major podcast platforms.

Sports betting can start out as a fun way to enjoy the game, but it can quickly get out of control. The excitement of winning, and the pressure to win back losses can lead people to bet more than they can afford. Over time, it can become hard to stop, even when it’s causing stress, debt, or relationship problems. What began as a hobby can quietly turn into a serious gambling issue.
