"The new forms of sports consumption mediated by betting and their risks". The initiative is part of the mission of both organisations to promote reflection and debate on Sports Ethics.
The session's main objectives are:
- Debate the need (or not) to limit bookmakers' advertising;
- Analysing the normalisation of sports betting and the increase in betting practices among young people;
- Discuss the inclusion of responsible gambling education in sports integrity modules;
- Reflect on the benefits of sports betting and the definition of suitable types of bets.
