Argentine TV Host Shares Personal Story on Problem Gambling
The Provincial Institute of Lottery and Casinos (IPLyC) of Buenos Aires, in collaboration with the Ombudsman’s Office, hosted an event during the 13th Book Fair at the National University of Hurlingham. The event featured Argentine sports journalist and presenter Nicolás “Cayetano” Cajg, who shared his personal experience with problem gambling.
At the National University of Hurlingham (UNAHUR), Cayetano presented “There Will Be Signs. Don’t Miss It,” an open talk aimed at sharing his experience with gambling addiction with young people and families.
More than 500 young people from various local institutions attended the event, where the journalist recounted his story and engaged in a dialogue with the participants.
“There were many kids and teenagers present today, which makes these kinds of meetings worthwhile, since my message is for them. I hope my testimony helps to prevent the dangers of this addiction,” Cayetano stated.
According to the IPlyC, these activities have been taking place since 2024 in different locations throughout the province of Buenos Aires and are a key tool for raising awareness about the problem of compulsive gambling and promoting healthy practices.
The series of talks has already been held in La Plata, Mar del Plata, Almirante Brown, La Matanza, and Avellaneda with the goal of raising awareness and educating the community about the risks and damages that compulsive gambling can cause, based on Cayetano’s experience. Each meeting concludes with an exchange of questions and concerns.
Finally, the Institute reminded the public that the province of Buenos Aires has 10 public and free care centers for compulsive gamblers, located in Avellaneda, Bahía Blanca, La Plata, Mar de Plata, Morón, Necochea, Olavarría, Pergamino, Tandil, and Vicente López.
These spaces are available not only to people who have the problem but also to people in their immediate environment.
