Young people make up an increasing proportion of the Pennsylvanians banning themselves from gambling 

Yearly self-exclusions have increased since 2020 for every group, but for young people most sharply.

The increase in young people is real but exaggerated somewhat in this chart because the Gaming Control Board includes a larger number of years in the young people bucket (14) compared to other buckets that only include 10-year cohorts. The relative infrequency of the over 55 category is, analogously, understated because they make up a much larger share of the population in Pennsylvania than any of the other three buckets.
