Prediction markets are platforms where participants buy and sell shares based on the likelihood of future events, using collective forecasting to predict outcomes. While originally developed as tools for aggregating information, they are now being adapted and promoted as a new form of gambling. As prediction markets expand and shift toward gambling applications, they pose new challenges for regulation, responsible gambling, education, and treatment – requiring new approaches to oversight, awareness, and support. Understanding how these markets operate is vital as they evolve from financial tools to gambling opportunities, bringing new risks and further blurring the boundaries between investing and betting.

Problem Gambling Awareness Month is a time to foster open, informed dialogue and challenge misconceptions about gambling-related harm. In this AMA, Andrew J. Schreier, International Certified Gambling Counselor and host of the “Talking Addiction & Recovery” podcast will explore how problem gambling stigma creates both individual and systemic barriers; from cultural norms that discourage help-seeking to systems that overlook gambling in screening, healthcare, and policy. We’ll discuss how stigma shows up in everyday language, interactions, and institutions; the ways family members, workplaces, healthcare professionals, and community systems can unintentionally reinforce silence; and what practical steps we can all take to create a more compassionate environment where people feel safe seeking support.
