Interesting article for people who want to take a look: https://www.gminsights.com/industry-analysis/online-gambling-market
I think gambling is more accessible than ever before! There are more casinos around, on almost every corner, as far as the internet there are zillion casinos as well, and in the last few years it has been much easier to move money online ... so this growth is completely logical! So I believe the numbers will continue to rise, and we can only hope that people will not turn to the complete degens as some of us here!
As I said in the post above, growth in absolute terms occurs for objective reasons. If we want to know if the online gambling market is ahead of other markets, or some average indicator, we have to make many adjustments and compare it with other areas, such as streaming or other entertainment online.
