Harry Levant on CBS News Sunday Morning: A Bad Bet? The Dangers of Sports Gambling

 In a powerful segment on CBS News Sunday Morning, Harry Levant joined senior correspondent Ted Koppel to expose the growing public health crisis of online sports gambling. As a gambling addiction therapist and recovering addict, Harry brought personal insight and professional expertise to the national conversation, warning that what’s being marketed as entertainment is, in fact, addiction by design. The interview spotlighted the dangerous rise of microbetting, predatory promotions like reload bonuses, and the alarming rates of gambling-related harm among young men. Harry’s appearance helped bring critical awareness to the real-world consequences of unchecked gambling expansion—and why federal reform can no longer wait.
