Governments and regulatory bodies have introduced several strategies to reduce excessive online sports betting among young adults. These include banning gambling advertisements during live sports broadcasts, requiring gambling apps to display prominent warning pop-ups showing the high probability of financial loss, and running interactive workshops in colleges and universities. These workshops educate students on the true statistical odds of winning and teach them assertiveness skills to resist social pressure from peers to place bets.
