Abstract
This article briefly overviews some of the latest research into adolescent gambling and looks at the recent 2005 Gambling Act in relation to adolescent gambling measures. The new Gambling Act came into force on 1 September 2007, and replaces existing law on gambling in England, Scotland and Wales. Based on the most recent findings and the fact that adolescents can still legally gamble on fruit machines in seaside arcades and family leisure centres, it is argued that adolescent gambling is still a cause for concern in Great Britain, particularly as problem gambling among adolescents is four to five times more prevalent than adult problem rates (i.e. 3.5% of adolescents compared to 0.6% of adults).
