An independent month long study of 12 million international social gaming players involving five operators indicates that problem gambling is not a problem among young folks.
The International Social Games Association commissioned Harvest Strategy to conduct the study, which was headed up Dr. Rohan Miller of the University of Sydney.
The report, 'A Snapshot of Youth in the Digital Playground', revealed that social games do not represent a future problem with real money gambling.

Sure it is unrelated, and usually i am angry to read articles like some scientist told us that even gamble for fun or without money can be great danger for players. I did not see anything bad if player just play for fun money and have fun, without put his own money. Social gaming is even more safe, so this is good news...
