“Futures at Stake is the result of an extraordinary effort to bring together all the leading stakeholders involved in the complex issue of youth gambling. This book allows them to share their perspectives with a larger audience and help us better understand the problem. While they come from varying backgrounds, the contributors all share one thing in common: a dedication to the prevention of youth gambling. As a result, Futures at Stake is an important addition to the current literature on this subject.” —Frank J. Fahrenkopf Jr., President and CEO, American Gaming Association
 

“Tribes in Minnesota and across the nation have been at the forefront of recognizing and dealing with the issues associated with problem gambling. Native Americans know all too well the pain and suffering caused by addiction. We were proud to contribute to the North American Think Tank on Youth Gambling, and we are delighted to see the findings of that event compiled here as a resource for others seeking solutions to the special problems of youth gambling.” —Audrey Kohnen, treasurer, National Indian Gaming Association and vice chairman, Minnesota Indian Gaming Association
 

“A great strength of the book is the considerable breadth of topics included. In contrast to other well-known texts, the focus of the book is not solely confined to research or treatment issues. Instead, the topics range from detailed discussions of prevalence and correlates of youth gambling, to the legislative context of under-age gambling, theories of adolescent gambling, and the challenges that youth gambling poses to those working in industry, regulation, and education. . . . Futures at Stake is a very useful and informative introduction to the youth gambling area and I strongly recommend it to those wishing to develop knowledge in this field. I very much hope that the endeavors evidenced in this book are pursued further . . .” —Paul Delfabbro, International Gambling Studies, June 2004
