Sports betting is a growing and concerning phenomenon in modern Australia, where it is particularly popular among young men. This presentation draws from in-depth interviews with ten young male sports bettors in seeking an understanding of the practice’s place and meaning within their everyday lives and friendships. Engaging with gender scholarship in both gambling and sports studies, this work investigates how men are socialised into gambling on sports, and the role of smartphone technologies in facilitating their betting practices. Previous work has identified pubs and betting shops as leisure spaces which localise men’s homo-social bonding through sports spectatorship and alcohol consumption. Modern sports betting similarly acts to facilitate men’s socialisation through gambling consumption. However, the digitisation of this practice via smartphone technologies also ‘delocalises’ betting among friendship circles. The borders between men’s gambling and non-gambling spaces are blurred, thus resulting in new and complex ways in which sporting and gambling masculinities are negotiated and performed by young men.
