Rod P. was dealing with betting problems and now is recovering problem gambler. Alberta’s online gambling launch in July 13 was a great day for commercial online betting platforms, but Rod expressed his concerns about this market opening. While Rod has been away from gambling for over 20 years, he still thinks of himself as a compulsive gambler. He shared his concerns about this move and expects this to lead to a rise in problem gambling, and more stories like his own. Rod is also concerned about the expanding gambling ads, which could push more vulnerable players to gamble more.
