I don't know how deep the debt on credit card gambling is today until I do my own research and mehn, and it's very sad, many people are in debt because they keep using their credit cards to fund their gambling hunger.
Unfortunately, it is their own choice. Or, you could look at it that they have had little to no control and that they were exploited. However you choose to see it, this is the consequence of allowing the mix of credit with gambling.
Imagine someone you know telling you that it will take him 12 years to pay off his debt, I now know why few countries don't want their citizens to gamble using their credit cards, betting on credit cards has left too many people in thousands of debt.
It comes to a point where you must ask, why didn't they stop at 5 years of debt? Or 1 year of debt? Or 0? How far must it go before it is someones fault, rather than their mistake?
Which makes me think that Credit card is far more helping to fuel gambling addiction more than anything else, you don't actually have the money, but you can still gamble, this alone will make people to lose their minds and gamble anyhow.
Certainly. Credit is not cash, it's not visible, it's easily accessible for some. It's definitely something that could fuel addiction.
I'm glad I don't even like using Credit cards for gambling and my reason isn't even because of possible reckless gambling but because I don't like centralized payment solutions, you should stay away from using Credit card to gamble online, it sure would easily throw you out in the street, homeless.
Keep it that way
