Online Gambling Up Among College Age Men

A recent survey has found that college age men are gambling more than ever before online.

The survey was conducted by the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania and it revealed that 16 percent of college age males gambled online in 2010 compared to 4.4 percent in 2008.  

400,000 males in college ranging from age 18 to 22 gambled at least once a week on the Internet, and there were over 1.7 million who gambled at least once a month.
