Everyone have their reasons why they are gambling most are gambling because of the money or should profit they think they can make from it , and some are gambling for fun ( especially those that financially stable), but those that are doing it for money they can get from gambling are more common than those doing it for fun , most folks are addicted to gambling because of the way or the mentality they use to approach it , some gain such mentality from things they came across, like those showcasing their winnings via social medias just to get more engagement not knowing they are endangering Young folks lives , because they have given them the mindset of believing gambling is the easiest and fastest way to eradicate poverty, which it's isn't because it can also lead to that same poverty if is not being approached wisely.
Now the trend among young people is gambling and betting, because their idols on the Internet very often advertise this, which in turn arouses interest in their fans. Who of them is more vulnerable will show time, since they are all from different families and with different upbringing, and this is also an important factor. I think in a few years, gambling will be completely something normal and everyday in many countries, there remains only one question: will the state be ready for this and will there be help for those who suffered from gambling and at what level.
To me kids going into gambling is not encouraging at all because they are getting expose to it at early age and some kids can't make good decisions by themselves, I will be hearing kids of now and days talking about how a particular game cut their game ending their chances of winning,
Instead of kids wasting their times on gambling ( because to me gambling are for those who sees it as fun) , they should rather spend their time in learning a skill that will help them in a long run .
