There's a new kind of gambling that's growing fast, and it doesn't always look like gambling. Prediction markets — where you bet on real-world events like elections, sports outcomes, or even the weather — are booming right now, and they're operating with far less oversight than traditional betting.
We just posted a new alert breaking down what prediction markets are, why they're risky for people in recovery, and what to watch for if you or someone you love encounters them. These platforms can be sneaky because they frame themselves as "investing" or "forecasting," but make no mistake — they trigger the same cycles.
Head over to the alerts section to read the full breakdown. If you're supporting someone in recovery, this is worth reading together. Knowledge is one of the strongest tools we have.
