According to the Annenberg Public Policy Center, college age males are visiting online gambling sites at a growing rate. Compared to the 2008 survey, monthly Internet Gambling use has risen from 4.4% to 16.0%. Most of this gambling is due to card playing, but it also likely includes other forms, such as horseracing.
The study also shows a sharp increase in gambling, primarily involving sports, among high school girls, although they continue to gamble less than their male counterparts. In 2008, only 9.5% of high school girls engaged in sports betting, but in 2010, the number jumped to 22%.
