I will explain here based on my experience and what I live through. In my country, there is not much of a distinction, because whether young or old, rich or poor, everyone gambles. I have seen people who were rich and bet their entire fortune on gambling and are no longer financially wealthy.

The elderly and those who are less educated about financial education (which is the majority in this country) are a prime target for gambling.

It's difficult for someone to gamble consciously and not give in to addiction. I have friends who gamble almost every day, let the prize accumulate but do not stop gambling and then end up losing money.

By any chance do you happen to be from Nigeria? Because I have read so far there is very common from the people of that African country to get involved in gambling, regardless of their social status and the economical situation.
Here where I live gambling is mostly targeted at people who do not have much of a formal education and yet are struggling to keep themselves up financially, which unfortunately it is the wide percentage of the population, children are only vulnerable if parents do not pay attention to what they are doing and the elderly already have some money from the one received from abroad and earned by their adults children.

It is interesting to see how widely addiction and vulnerability to gambling can change, depending on the national context one lives in, isn't it?

Dude, i live in Brazil, which is not very different from countries like Nigeria when it comes to gambling addiction among the population.

The government also heavily taxes the gambling sector, our government taxes everything that is expanding and scalable, here casinos are highly regulated or will be from next year.

Ah okey, sorry for the misunderstanding. I am from Venezuela and there are quite many Brazilian people here in the region I live in and I had never imagined there is such a big problem of gaming addiction going on in Brazil, I knew the government of Lula was going to heavily start to tax casinos and gamblers, but I did not know it was because of the volume of money being gambled on those webpages and bookies was getting so astronomical as you picture it.
In my mind I would have never thought in comparing Nigeria to Brazil in terms of prevalence of addiction to gambling since Nigerian people in this forum openly talk about how pretty much their country has become a country of gamblers and it had gotten very rooted in the local and national culture. Is it also the case with gambling in Brazil? is it rooted within your local culture to see people gambling non-stop and the sake of entertainment and also profit?

Gambling is a lot easier to access now than before. So it is no surprise if more people find themselves gambling. Unfortunately, not a lot of us can be responsible enough to prevent ourselves from falling into deep addiction. This probes the question, who are the most vulnerable to falling into a gambling addiction?

Anyone can be vulnerable to gambling addiction, if we cannot control our self, emotion and the extent to pleasure or something we like doing, another thing we can also consider is how discipline we may appear, there is nothing too bad in us going for what we want and doing it, but too much of everything is bad, because in doing so is the introduction to getting addicted, therefore we must be self-disciplined from how we are gambling.

young people are usually the most easily addicted to gambling because of the lack of supervision from their parents which causes them to access gambling platforms and play without any responsibility. many young people think that the more often they gamble, the greater their chances of winning and making a lot of money, this is the beginning of how these young people fall into gambling addiction without realizing it.

I don't know, I remember myself in my youth, I had very little pocket money, sometimes it was barely enough to eat somewhere, and if I got carried away with gambling, then I would not even be able to lose any more or less significant amount, because I did not have it. And all the money that I could save, I tried to put aside, to have some savings. Maybe this is a habit that I got from childhood, but I am still not demanding about finances as for me, I do not think that I could bet big money.

Yes, no doubt, it must definitely be as a result of your home training about knowing the importance of savings that might have led you not to always gamble your entire money always while gambling. Because it's true "teenagers" are always most likely to get into gambling addiction, most especially when they fail to understand it's outcome is always a product of luck, whereby you can either win or lose. Because I personally could remember back then while I was teen, how my desperation of wanting to make my parents proud, led me to buying several kinds of fake telegram fixed matches game. Which never for once did any ended as predicted. Hence, resulting to me loser more money while I gave it a try over and over again. Not until I came to understand that the realization, that I needed to focus more on things that matter most at a teenager.

Hence, apart from the easy access to internet to been a factor that contributes to teenagers involving in gambling, peer group influence is another factor too.

Neither do I. If you gamble a lot, you risk losing a lot. Sure, IF you win, you will win big time, but what are the chances of something like that happening? There aren't many, we all know that. The best and safest thing is to gamble what you will not mind losing. Because, in essence, you have already "lost" since you bet.
IMO the most vulnerable are those who are newly rich, who acquire enormous wealth very quickly and do not know how to manage it. So they react and behave recklessly. If they also have the germ of gambling before acquiring any wealth, then things become very bad, and in a matter of days can be out on the street penniless.

Teens are copy cats, they do whatever they see on tv or on social media without knowing the consequences attached to it. Some of them might want to do it for fun, but along the line, they become addicted they don't have anyone to help them.

Anyone can actually fall under this category of being vulnerable to the society be it young or old, rich or poor but definitely advising one who's already deep into gambling is a huge task you know cause it just seems like your taking what gives them happiness.better still is to let the upcoming young ones know the necessary facts about gambling inorder not to fall into such situations and become vulnerable.

Well that's right, in general it is as you said that everyone is susceptible to addiction regardless of who they are, how high their position is, old or young and rich or poor, the possibility of being exposed to gambling and ending up addicted is very possible for them to experience, there are no exceptions in this case, but actually all of them can avoid addiction only if from the beginning they can really use common sense and their rational point of view well, because that way they will definitely know about the dangers of gambling and also the bad impacts that can be caused by an addictive situation. You said something true that giving advice or coercion to addicted gamblers is the same as taking away their happiness, and this is one of the reasons why addiction is really difficult to cure, so understand it first from now on before you regret it.

What you say is indeed reasonable, but in my opinion the rich can be far more vulnerable to get a mental disorder if they lose to spend the wealth they have, especially those who are accustomed to wealth and then become poor in a matter of days because they will definitely be more stressed and more stressed and Getting a mental disorder because he is not ready to accept it, but if it's a poor person when he loses everything he has, they have readiness to have nothing because they are used to it, maybe logically like that, but addiction will be more vulnerable to coming to the poor if we are See the average decision taken.x

Everyone lives according to the results of their choices. A rich person may want to gamble and a poor person may want to gamble. A rich person may want not to gamble and a poor person may want not to gamble. Everyone shapes their own life with their own choices. Maybe poor people are more more vulnerable in this regard. But I think it's a matter of preference in the end. Some people think they can make more money by gambling. A poor person who gambles today will still gamble tomorrow if he is rich. A rich person who does not gamble today would not gamble again if they were poor tomorrow. In my opinion, it is not right to categorize people.

A person who already engaged mostly don't care what others will going to say or to think about them, what is important to them is they can continue playing and they feed the addiction inside them, in your situation, that kind of a gambler alreay hook on and it's only the person itself who can remove him from this kind of of vices.

The last statement that you've mentioned, I think yes, if the person are not concern with their finances, they are more vulnerable as they've got money that they can spent compared to those young adults where they are just leaning with their allowance.

Then the one who plans the budget can feel more comfortable in gambling, because he will not lose more than his income allows him. If he is ready to take 5% of his salary for gambling, and this will not become a problem for the player in case of losing this money, then he excludes any possibility for further spending. And if you want to play more, then try to play with profit, then you will not need to worry about running out of money for gambling.

If only it was as simple as you say it because I know most person who even claim of doing these stuffs never actually end up doing them although that's the difference between a discipline gambler and the one that doesn't know what he is getting himself into because if you do know the cost of having no boundaries to your gambling then I think no one would even think of gambling again.

Indeed, that's how we should consider it some may have that discipline but most are really aiming for the big one and ends up losing a lot, each gamblers are vulnerable going to depend on how they work on it and how they treat things whenever they are in session, you can keep yourself out from risking more if you know how to limit yourself.

When you feel that aggressivenes it's a good sign to quit and not to push forward, managing this kind of emotions keeps you away from getting to deep and lose a lot.

Many people write here that poor people are most at risk of becoming addicted to gambling. Whereas I knew one very well-off person who lost simply cosmic amounts of money. He was even treated by a psychiatrist several times for gambling addiction, but even now, after more than twenty years, he still plays, although of course for very small amounts, since he lost his business a long time ago.
Therefore, the predisposition to become addicted to gambling is more due to the character of a person, rather than his well-being. Since there are more poor people than rich people, it seems that they are more susceptible to addiction, but this is a false relationship. Similarly, there are very rich drug addicts, but there are fewer of them than poor drug addicts. Simply because there are fewer rich people than poor people.

You have a point there. It cannot be based on the class of a person especially if there are fewer rich than the poor. Many would say that the poor are the users and the gamblers and that's because they are more prone to be urged to do it. In gambling, they are the ones who are looking for a jackpot shot so they can get away from their poor lifestyle. Drugs, they are the most affected because drugs can somehow let them feel like they can get away from their problem of being poor when they use them.
This became the norm for every country and that's all because of a government that doesn't really focus on those fields. There's a chance it's because they are shareholders of the said businesses or they get a share of their profits.

I don't think I would really put minors in this category because the biggest reason someone becomes addicted is those who already really know and realize the value of money in life, and speaking further I think the most vulnerable to addiction are those who come with a heavy burden on their shoulders, such as people who are having problems with their financial situation in their life, because usually when someone experiences problems like that, they will usually justify any means just to get money even though basically the method is really unreasonable.

But on the other hand, regardless of whether they have financial problems or any problems in their life, the point is that everyone is vulnerable to becoming addicted when they come without understanding and knowing in advance about what and how gambling really is, because in many ways, it is usually misunderstandings that will lead you to everything bad.

In my opinion the most vulnerable people are the young ones and those that are poor. The system wasn't meant to enrich anyone you an either get lucky or unlucky. This is the main reason why rich people are able to bare the losses attached to gambling because it's a winning and losing game. But for the poor man losing can become a problem, the more he losses the more critical his situation becomes, this is why it's not advisable for the poor man to gamble. The teenagers below the age of 18 can also be affected negatively. Learning how to gamble at an early age in life could be setting you up for failure.

It is interesting to say that people who are addicted to gambling also have other disorders. I wonder if there is really a big connection there, or if the people they polled are just likely to admit to multiple disorders whereas other people might not be willing to admit to even one. I could sort of see why people who struggle through life with disorders could feel the need to take a long shot at riches.

There is no one who is most vulnerable to gambling addiction, because everyone who is involved in gambling is already in the category of being vulnerable to gambling addiction, but I see that compared to those who are addicted, there are still many who make gambling just a fun activity so that they continue to use money that they can afford to lose and are able to stop at any time.

When we see some of our friends or closest people or also read/see news about people who are addicted, it does not mean that many are addicted, even a survey about those who are addicted may not fully describe what happens in real life.

I do agree on which on the time that you do step your foot into the world of gambling/betting then there's always that chance or tendency that you will really be that getting addicted into it.

Speaking about into those individuals who can potentially be able to see or witness gambling/betting sessions then everyone could be able to see it specially now that gambling ads will really be able to see on social media platforms on which it doesnt matter on what your age is, as long you are wary about on how it is or being curious and test it out then it will really be counted as one.

There's no way that we can be able to know specially into those young people to get involved with betting or gambling because on the time that their curiosity kicks in then
they will definitely be doing or trying it out.
