Abstract

Although the data indicates a prevalence of gambling among younger teenagers, there are very few studies on this widespread social phenomenon. The aim of this research was to gain in-depth knowledge of gambling among the young with a focus on finding out their favorite games, motivations, opinions and perceptions regarding gambling for money. A qualitative methodology was used, organizing and holding six discussion groups which involved a total of 79 young people and teenagers from schools and universities in the Basque Country. The results have shown that the emergence of new technologies, the fact that gambling has become a normal activity in our society and easy access to it are some of the main reasons for the increase in young people�s participation in cash games. These findings alert us to the need for prevention and treatment of pathological gambling and the importance of targeting younger groups.
