New Alert: Prediction Markets Are Gambling in Disguise

We just published a new alert about the rise of prediction markets — and why they pose a real risk for people in recovery.

You might have seen prediction markets popping up in the news, on social media, or even in casual conversation. They let you bet real money on the outcome of elections, sports, weather, and just about anything else. They're marketed as "investing" or "forecasting," but let's call it what it is: gambling.

This matters for anyone in recovery — and for the people who love them. These platforms are designed to feel different from a sportsbook or a casino, but the dopamine loop is the same. The risk is the same. And they're becoming more mainstream by the day.

We added this alert to help you stay one step ahead. Read it, share it with your family or your group, and keep the conversation going. Awareness is one of the most powerful tools we have.

You can find this and all of our alerts in the Alerts section — we'll keep watching for new risks so you don't have to go looking.
