In this episode of the Safe Bet Show, supported by the Player Protection Hub, Martin Lycka is joined by Daniel Trolaro, Co-Managing Director of Education and Training Services at Integrity Compliance 360 (IC360), who details his journey from prison to gambling harm prevention educator.

Trolaro speaks about how he used gambling as a coping mechanism after witnessing the terror attacks of 9/11 and also the fulfilment he has found in educating college athletes in his roles at EPIC Global Solutions and IC360.

The duo also discuss the latest initiatives of the New Jersey Council, the merits of using the term safer gambling over responsible gambling and why education on gambling is needed throughout all stages of the US schooling system.
