Abstract
Internet gambling is a relatively under-researched area. While our current knowledge
remains in its infancy and the prevalence rates are relatively low, researchers and clinicians are
predicting greater involvement among youth. A comprehensive search of the relevant literature was
undertaken. The resulting relevant literature was classified into four areas. These were (a) the
empirical studies on adolescent internet gambling, (b) online gambling-like experiences in
adolescence, (c) adolescent gambling via social networking sites, and (d) adolescent gambling via
online penny auction sites. Age verification in relation to prevention and regulation is also examined.
It is concluded that young people appear to be very proficient in using and accessing new media and
are likely to be increasingly exposed to remote gambling opportunities. These young people will
therefore require education and guidance to enable them to cope with the challenges of convenience
gambling in all its guises.
