  Engagement of adolescents in gambling is alarmingly high in Georgia, UNICEF report finds

The study revealed that adolescents are easily influenced by environment. They rarely start gambling for money by themselves, usually they gamble first with friends/peers (51 per cent) or a family member (32 per cent). 24 per cent of survey participants gamble because their friends are gambling, while 16 per cent believe that gambling is a prestigious activity. (...) Other motivators for starting to gamble are boredom and the perception that gambling is popular. (...) The study found that the level of awareness of adolescents about the risks associated with gambling and gambling addiction is low. The majority of adolescents who gamble do not talk to their parents about gambling and its risks.

  WTO | Appellate Body Repertory of Reports and Awards 1995-2013 - GATS

G.1.2.1.9   China — Publications and Audiovisual Products , para. 374 ( WT/DS363/AB/R )   We observe that the meaning of terms used in specific commitments inscribed in Members’ Schedules is also informed by the rules in the GATS itself that govern the scheduling of such commitments. Thus, in US — Gambling , the Appellate Body examined “the context provided by the structure of the GATS itself” in interpreting the relevant entry in the United States’ GATS Schedule under Article 31 of the Vienna Convention .   (...) Accordingly, we do not consider that the 2001 Guidelines, in and of themselves, constitute “subsequent practice” within the meaning of Article 31(3)(b) of the Vienna Convention .   G.1.2.2.10   US — Gambling , paras. 196–197 ( WT/DS285/AB/R , WT/DS285/AB/R/Corr.1 )   … this appeal does not raise the question whether W/120 and the 1993 Scheduling Guidelines constitute “supplementary means of interpretation, including the preparatory work of the treaty and the circumstances of its conclusion”. (...) The Panel applied its analysis of these provisions to find that four state laws directed at persons who engage in gambling — that is, to consumers of gambling services as opposed to suppliers of gambling services — had not been shown to be inconsistent with the United States’ market access commitments
