One in eight young adults faced betting fraud ahead of World Cup, TransUnion research shows

New research from TransUnion reveals a concerning trend: approximately one in eight young adults experienced betting fraud in the period leading up to the World Cup. This highlights significant risks within the online betting landscape for this demographic.

The study also noted specific betting intentions, with over half of bettors in London indicating plans to wager on matches involving the England team. This suggests a strong regional focus on specific teams during the tournament.

These findings underscore the importance of robust security measures and consumer education in the iGaming industry, particularly concerning vulnerable groups and major sporting events.
