This research deals with the topic of young people's attitudes towards gambling in the area of the city of Split. The research was proven in Split and covers the population of young people aged 15 to 29 years. The sample was convenient and consisted of 200 respondents. It was conducted through August 2020 by the method of surveys (face to face, online). The research was proven via the Internet and at two locations in Split; Mall of Split and Franje Tuđman Student Dormitory. The results showed that most respondents gambled at least once in their lives and most were at casino machines and lottery games. Most respondents agreed with the timing that gambling addiction should be treated. Hypotheses H1, H2 and H3 were rejected, because there was no observed statistically significant difference with regard to gender in the recent claim that gambling should be banned by law, that the throwing of money and the difference in the type of final education related to the claim that marijuana users are more likely to bet. Hypothesis H4 has been confirmed because there is a gender difference according to the reasons for gambling.Therefore, the intervention of school institutions and state bodies in combating gambling addiction among young people is needed.
