DDAP partnered with a team of Penn State researchers and helped complete the assessment. The Pennsylvania statute legalizing Interactive gaming, also referred to as online gambling or iGaming, stipulates that DDAP must complete an annual assessment in the Commonwealth.
In the first assessment of how this policy change is impacting Pennsylvanians, a recently released report by Penn State researchers and the Department of Drug and Alcohol Programs (DDAP) found that approximately 1 in 10 Pennsylvanians engage in interactive gaming.
Interactive gaming, or online gambling, became legal in Pennsylvania in 2017.
