Income and perceptions of financial standing are important factors in predicting problem gambling in the general population (Floyd, 2023). College students are unique given the high rates of problem gambling (Nowak & Aloe, 2014) and impact of family support and financial aid on their finances, but it is unclear how these factors are related. Using undergraduate data collected in February 2025, we expect that individual income and financial aid will positively predict problem gambling, while family support will negatively predict problem gambling. Results will highlight how college student finances can affect problem gambling risk and inform treatment and prevention services.
