If you are looking for an opportunity to make an additional profit and you think that gambling can help you in this, be prepared for the fact that you will lose your deposit. It's not a factory or an office, it's a place where people come to relax and get some adrenaline.

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?..

Yes, it can be said that these are people who are easily influenced by anything around them, when they see most of their friends continuing their education to college, they will also follow those steps but not accompanied by intention and sincerity so that in the end it only makes them waste money and time but do not get anything in terms of knowledge, meaning yes I can also confirm the core of your idea that people who are easily influenced by their environment are likely to be very easy to eventually be exposed to gambling when they are in an environment that is quite active towards gambling, it is quite unfortunate but yes, that is the fact.

It's true that the most addicted people initially had pre-existing mental conditions, if not their common sense should tell them that they cannot win back their losses as they keep on gambling to recover them back. It's a norm that a hard drug addict will gamble, because he will always love to gamble for profit in order to buy more drugs.

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.

In most countries, kids get addicted to smartphones too easily. Even toddlers watch YouTube the whole day. My three-year-old daughter can open YouTube and watch videos and reels. I assume she will learn more as she grows. One day, she might open restricted content that she shouldn't. This can happen. But as a parent, we have to be careful.

Parenting could never be that perfect on which there would really be those some part of family members will really be that dealing into something specially on gambling specially into those people who dont have

This will come back to each individual, because I see many people who pursue higher education just because they want a diploma, or a piece of paper that shows proof that they have studied at university. Yes, in studying they are not serious and spend more time playing. I'm not saying all, but there are some people I see like that. Well, people like this are actually vulnerable to something they encounter, I mean they will be easily carried away by their environment. I saw it because it happened to someone I knew and I happened to know him closely.

In general, this is a true statement, education is important, although sometimes there are exceptions when a person who has completed only a few grades of school can become successful, but these are some exceptions to the rule, because most people without a good education will find it difficult to achieve anything. There has always been little awareness about gambling, more often influencers show casinos as an opportunity to win big money and there will always be those who believe them and want to win too.

Lack of education will only lead a person to poverty, so in the end ignorance and also the economic pressures that exist make a person have to take shortcuts to improve their living standards including gambling, in this case I think the need for measures such as banning gambling operations in the community and raising awareness about the risks of gambling can be very helpful to reduce addiction besides low education is the main factor that should be resolved, Regarding the view that gambling can be a way to make money, this can indeed be a trap for many people, especially those in difficult financial conditions, so this mindset is difficult to change without a fundamental change in their economic and educational conditions.

I think society also have important role to play here when it comes to exposure to gambling and other social life. I know some societies that have unanimously agreed never to allow any gambling operator to operate or open a gambling business center in their communities. I know the existence of online gambling will make it more difficult for them to combat but at least that measure will minimize the rate at which their young generations are exposed to gambling.

Gambling is actually fun if people can change their mentality towards it and realize that it is an avenue to make money. Unfortunately, this mentality can not be easily do away with because of the financial class people find themselves in and think gambling will probably rescue them from that condition.

On the other hand, what about those who already have the money and love gambling, do you think they are not vulnerable to becoming addicted to gambling too?

Well, to be honest with you, I think the rich who already have a lot of money and love spending time gambling are more vulnerable to becoming gambling addict than those who are poor and have to work hard to raise the money they spend on gambling.
Atleast, it should be known that the poor man have some restrictions here, and that is that he or she wont be able to gamble at all times due to lack of funds, but the rich man is exposed to gambling at all time he or she wants to, no restrictions of any kind in terms of finance, so there is every possibility that, he or she will be inclined to becoming addicted than the poor man.

In addition most of the poor are not students of moderated gambling, and they're mostly uneducated too, hence their increased vulnerability to grabbling addiction. No matter the level of enlightenment provided to these people, if the condition of their living isn't improved and they're empowered on a personal level, they would pay deaf ears to all awareness and jump back to gambling as the only remedy to their lack of funds.

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?

We already know that less privileged people are more prone to getting addicted to gambling with the involvement of financial reward. They are the ones chasing more wins because they actually need the money. The more money they get, the deeper they get into the addiction.

Another demographic that is more likely to get addicted to gambling are adolescents. Adolescents are aged 12-18. The rise of online casinos made way to more kids getting access into gambling. It is said that male adolescents are the ones most recorded to have ended up addicted in gambling. Their addiction is usually associated with sports  and mobile games betting.

Lastly, the most vulnerable to falling into a gambling addiction are those already suffering from pre-existing mental conditions. About 4% of people being treated for substance use also have gambling disorder, as do nearly 7% of psychiatric inpatients and up to 7% of people with Parkinson’s disease. An estimated 96% of people with gambling problems have at least one other psychiatric disorder.

I am sharing this to raise awareness so more people are aware whether they fall under these categories I mentioned and may have high chances of becoming a gambling addict. Let’s keep ourselves informed and in check. Not only ourselves but our loved ones as well.

That also happen in the developing country such as Asian and others because while parents are too busy with their jobs or business, they think about giving careness to other person. But that will not be a solution because children still needs attention from their parents and make a relationship and build a strong bond to their parents. With their parents busy with their works, children can feels alone in their home although they have a big house with a full of everything they need.

Parents need to split their busy work and for their family so everything can be balanced while their children can feels how they can feels to have a real parents who cares with them. Even their parents work, but they can gives attention to their children and they will understand the situation and can adapt with good.

I mentioned Western countries because they are well-developed, and in most families, both father and mother do jobs or handle business, and their children are cared for by the maids. We see a similar thing in 3rd world countries as well. People run after money and forget about their children. They think money will solve everything.  But they destroy their kid's life without even realizing it.

I understand that not every family does this just because they focus on money; some of them have to do it forcefully because either their financial condition is too bad or they are in debt. But in both cases, kids remain alone at home and do things they should not do.

Anybody can be vulnerable when it comes to gambling because anybody can try it, anybody that has access to smartphone and an internet can try it, anybody that has an idea to it can try it, anybody that are curious on what gambling can give to a person can try it as well. I stated that the poor and middle-class people are the ones that are the most vulnerable just because some of them might've seen some advertisements somewhere regarding people who earned lots of money just by doing gambling and will have this thinking of "If they can achieve it, so do I." hence, they will also try it since they're also having a hard time financially and they see gambling as their only way to be rich, or at least live a better life.

Poor people have the desire to be rich so that their lives can change and many poor people fall into gambling because they think that by gambling they can make money easier than having to work hard for this reason that makes them very vulnerable to becoming gambling addicts without them realizing it and in the end they will be trapped in an increasingly difficult situation some take loans to catch up on their previous losses because most poor people are not willing to lose their money in this way.

The most vulnerable are those who bet on something they are not very good at, or those who are into slots, where I think it is almost impossible to win from a casino except for some random chance that I would definitely not rely on. And it also depends on how much the player is ready to take risks and how much money he is ready to play, rich or poor, they can equally lose all their money if they do not stop in time.

You are right because not just in Western countries, in many countries have the same thing so attention for their children will be less. They are busy to work and earn money but they forget to educate, take closest to their children, communicate and other things that will help them to manage their relationship. And when their parents just gives them device and money without trying to gets deeper with their children, they can use that for many things including browsing various and restricted things that they should not do in their ages.
