A bill moving through the Virginia General Assembly would legalize online casino games, known as iGaming, but those who have experienced gambling addiction firsthand are sounding the alarm.
Bob Cabaniss knows the pull of gambling better than most. The Virginia resident says he gambled away millions of dollars over several decades and now runs a treatment center that specializes in gambling addiction.
"I've been around a long time and I had a gambling problem," Cabaniss said.
He worries about what legalizing online casino games could mean for people who are struggling.
"I think it's an awful idea," Cabaniss said.
