How the rising popularity of cryptocurrency influences gambling addiction treatment and prevention: An in-person workshop in Zurich, Switzerland
Dr. Steinmetz had the opportunity to contribute to a full-day seminar in Zurich on a topic that has become increasingly urgent in the context of gambling addiction: the entanglements between cryptocurrency, blockchain technology, and gambling. The event was organized by the Ostschweizer Fachhochschule, specifically by the Institut für Soziale Arbeit und Räume, as part of their “Spielen ohne Sucht” program—an initiative committed to supporting professionals in the prevention and treatment of gambling addiction.
