Investigating 'Am I Addicted?' Article Critique

This episode dives into the growing push to “educate” children about sports betting and why that approach may be doing more harm than good. The panel breaks down where the line actually is between responsible gaming and normalization, how problem gaming is often misidentified or exaggerated, and why some well-intentioned messaging completely misses the mark. The conversation also explores how poker strategy and player behavior may be shifting heading into 2026, what’s driving those changes, and what today’s players need to understand about the evolving landscape.

Circle Back is hosted by Jacob Gramegna and features Mike (Mr. PeanutBettor), Joey Knish, and responsible gaming advocate Isaac Rose-Berman. Together, they bring sharp opinions, industry experience, and real debate to the biggest topics shaping betting, poker, and gaming culture.

📅 New episodes of Circle Back every Monday at 1pm ET and Friday at 8am ET. Plus, watch for additional content every Wednesday, ranging from interviews with industry experts to instructional videos!
