I would have tagged the adolescence as people with lesser control, but gambling knows no set or group of people, due to the general effect it has on everyone's emotions who ventures into the game. Additionally, any player could chase losses, as a form of disorder, fewer people in that condition would handle the problem. Once the limitations is broken free, the player be it young or old, face similar reactions. Though the younger ones become deeply attached to it due to the level of their thinking.

I think that it may also be a matter of psychological fortitude, because young people may not yet be ready for such mental stress, in the case of big losses. I only hope that at a younger age people do not have access to big money and they can get this experience with relatively small losses, but if they are from wealthier families, then everything may be more difficult. Or it may not be a matter of losing money, but a constant desire to play, you need to try not to bet for several weeks or months, can you?)

As someone who lives in a low middle income country, I'd say that low income earners are the most vulnerable. In my estimation, low income earners are the target of gambling advertising and marketing. The specific type of gambling being sports betting. Casinos are not popular here so it's mostly bet shops online and offline that you find low income earners hanging around.

Another vulnerable group are those who have low education that is, those with high school diploma and lower. In addition to this group we have those who are single, divorced, or separated. Gambling will fill in the vacuum that loneliness has left.

And yet another group are those who are retired.

All these groups I have mentioned are not from any research publications but by simply observing them in my locality.

I also agree, gambling isn't for those that are underpaid and i can say this because I've had some rough experiences in the past due to the fact that I was losing the little money I was working had to get. Low income earners are the ones that end up In debt, they are the ones that are easily enticed by casino or gambling adverts because they are just trying to find a way to make easy money by any means. People who are retired also deal with gambling addiction just like you said, these category of people can get addicted to the game easily because they don't have anything doing to keep themselves busy.

I totally agree, young people are eager to make money and become financially stable but they don't want to take the long journey of working hard, they are constantly looking for a shortcut to make it that's why they become addicted to the negative impacts of gambling at a very young age. I was told a story of a student that used his school fees to gamble hoping that it would multiply for him to take care of his wants, unfortunately, he lost the bet and didn't know what to say to his parents. Adolescence lack discipline and they don't know how to set limits for themselves.

Who doesn't want to be a millionaire when you're a student? Take some shortcut to live happily? Many of us have dreamed of it, but it's like you say , to Achieve it the Road Sometimes is with some thorns that we have to overcome, when you're a Student it's very easy to go down a path that leads to others without being the right one, those who take them Probably at this moment must be working very hard to earn their daily bread, when we study things are different , we become Professionals and work at another level where we will earn better, that is what students should see , and teenagers who for me are more vulnerable.

Personally, I see the poor and teenagers to be more vulnerable. This is because most poor gamblers gamble because they see it as a means for them to have financial breakthrough. While teenagers gamble for profit or for fun but most times, they can lack self control and get addicted easily.

Young people and those who are in financial collapse will likely fall into gambling addiction. The sweet promises that most casinos had offered made them think that it could be the solution to their financial problems. Unfortunately, it was wrong, and instead of having it as a solution, it turn out to be a problem. The more they think about money, the more it influences their mind until they fall into making wrong decisions. 

We may not fall into addiction today but once we can't control our greed and emotions, that leads us there. 
If young people see gambling as a fast way to make money, they will not have a chance to get that money instead they will lose all of their money. That will become worst if they use their tuition just to playing gambling because that can make other problems arise and they will difficult to solve that.

Young people can playing gambling but they must have strong control to avoids the temptation from gambling that can come anytime. That is why we must always careful when spending the money in gambling and always stops ourselves when we are enough to playing gambling.

I cant agree that young are the most vulnerable for gambling, as they have whole life ahead and plenty of time to find solution to any financial troubles they could possible get into due to reckless gambling. Old people I would say are most vulnerable. They always are in short of money, often desperate in making decisions, and naive like children.
I think, if both age groups are in an environment that legalizes gambling, then the level of vulnerability will not be much different. I mean, both have the potential to become gamblers. If they are already caught in gambling, young people have great hope to fix it because they have a lot of time and energy, while those who are older will easily accept all conditions because of lack of motivation. Financial situations, living environment, and peer encouragement often lead someone into wrong actions. Older people have a lot of demands, with limited finances and declining physical conditions, it is clear that they will be more easily caught in gambling.

Every weak person is vulnerable, but old people are the most. Why would young people be vulnerable to gambling, when they have whole life ahead to cure gambling addiction, to earn money, as well as lots of friends and family that might help to solve financial problems. But who will help old grandma when her pension is low and she is desperate in need in money to buy food? A lot of old people are alone, abandoned, they mind sometimes can be twisted, in addition to people likely skip helping them.

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.

Mmmm this is a very crucial challenges that the society is facing right now, and mostly the teens are victims of such cases but the important thing is how do we enable them get out of this mess, it's by educating them about the do's and don't of gambling, yeah having no information about stuffs as this usually end them to being addicted whereas create an avenue for some mental disorders that needed special attention. Let's be properly guided and as well our young ones.

As we all know our weaknesses, there is nothing hidden to us from our own self that we shouldn't have discovered right form the way we are gambling or being told by others on how we are doing, vulnerability is as not being able to know ones weakness or identified a loophole existing in what one is doing, if we are not gambling responsibly or we are there among the categories of those having wrong mentality about it, then we are getting it all wring and found under being vulnerable because of these except we take action in fixing some lapses we have.

Who is the most vulnerable is an interesting question. I recently learned that telemarketers aren’t even trying to sell you something, but are looking for vulnerable people they can take advantage of. Even if you offer to buy their product, they will usually hang up on you if they don’t think you are elderly or mentally challenged.

I like this assertion about old people becoming the most vulnerable to gambling for the reasons that you've stated above. As a young person, I have the time and energy to make some more money have making mistakes in life. I can afford to lose my money and still work hard to make some more considering that the reason for the loss of money is genuine. Financial troubles are more evident and brain draining to the older people than the young folks. They don't have the energy to make as much money as the young person though there are equally hardworking old people who have also tightened there belts and work hard for money at their old age. But young people are always at advantage and they tend to shelf losing money than the old people who are more aware of their funds

That is why it seems as thought he young are more vulnerable, but the old are too - they were not exposed to gambling because of their lack of technical know how, but this is improving recently and they are also frequent gamblers.


Sometimes the participation of the elderly in gambling is downplayed because they are not technological savvy as the younger generations to manage cryptocurrency,.so they stick to old methods of gambling, which are less advertised on the internet and we do not hear about as often as we do, when compared to cryptocasinos. Though, in many cultures and countries around the world, it is usual to see the elderly partaking in sport betting, bingo  and lottery and they are equally likely to fall victim of their addiction, in the same way young people are. Unfortunately, they are easier to ignore than the youngest generations of gamblers...

There are teens who work on gas stations or as delivery boy after there study hours to meet there expenses or help there family. There are temptive stories (Calgary men winning twice big money in lottery) in gambling but they rear in real life. If a teen or adult want to improve his life style or meet basis necessities then there is no shortcut for that, one has to work hard to achieve success in practical life. As far as gambling is concerned, it's the house that is the biggest beneficiary not the people who gamble. It's fine if you are gambling for fun with control over your emotions, otherwise one might land in trouble in the long run.

Though the younger ones become deeply attached to it due to the level of their thinking.
Few factors be it young or old, make a person susceptible to gambling addiction. Unemployment, mental health issues and substance abuse are the common ones. And it is the extremes of age that are again the stages when these factors come in the most.

That is why it seems as thought he young are more vulnerable, but the old are too - they were not exposed to gambling because of their lack of technical know how, but this is improving recently and they are also frequent gamblers.

Thus awareness about gambling addiction and a control over habits is important to any gambler.

It is good to save money just like it's also good to make an investment. In gambling, people that are mostly vulnerable to addiction is the young ones that don't really understand what gambling actually entails. Some people will want to impress the public by betting on so many games so that they could try their luck waiting for the ones that will actually give them a big hit. Most time, this method does not actually works always because gambling too has it own spirit and can program a gambler to make some winnings and then, losses will commence.
Not only do they beg on multiple games just to win but to also pride in it when they eventually get lucky, that they were able to skillfully make such wins on huge odds which will further make their claims of been a top and experienced profitable gambler even true and if they get unlucky, they are actually very quiet about it and keep believing they will still be lucky someday. If they understand or have a long term foresight gambling, then sooner they get to do better and not feel to pride in their little wins

That's the problem as they already experienced decent earnings and they think it easy for them to repeat it and with luck backing them up, it's not that long to fulfill  it again, but the issue with those kinds of mindset if they unable to manage or control such emotions it can lead them into addiction, there's always risk whether it's young adults or those who already in the right age,

when they can't control their emotions they are prone to keep pushing for more, and that's the first indication when you already have that kind of feelings inside you, better to reassess yourself and try to make some changes with how you treat or how you participate into gambling.

Addiction is fuelled when the person doesn't have self-control anymore; when they can no longer differentiate their normal playing and when they are breaking limits, they don't see it as anything wrong, and they even start chasing their losses as a means of trying to recover money, and when they make a win, it's never enough; the eagerness to win more is always there, and their greed starts to control hem. It's just something that if one is not careful enough, they might end up getting addicted without knowing it.

I would have tagged the adolescence as people with lesser control, but gambling knows no set or group of people, due to the general effect it has on everyone's emotions who ventures into the game. Additionally, any player could chase losses, as a form of disorder, fewer people in that condition would handle the problem.

Adolescents are more likely to get addicted to gambling because of how exposed they are to the internet. It's no surprise that teenagers are actively involved in gambling not minding the age restrictions of the bookmaker or casino they are using. Adolescents get addicted to gambling because of the urge they have to make money easily. They engage in gambling hoping that it would make them financially stable, this has caused a lot of havoc in the society today. Because of how naive they are it's easy for them to get lured into the lifestyle by the fake adverts they see online.
