Re: Gambling addiction becomes more popular with young people over time

I don't think age has any effect on gambling addiction. Personally, I have an opinion that, people who have more free time are prone to gambling addiction. They just start playing for fun and eventually finds difficult to get rid of it.

P.S: Don't post for merits. Do contribute more meaningful contents and the merit will follow.

I think it is because of the online gambling. Young people use smart phones in the streets, shopping malls, schools and colleges and their houses they use both, cell phone and computer. It means that now they can gamble from anywhere. No time limit, no certain place, 24 hours and everywhere. This is the main reason that young people are addicting of gambling.

I agree on you.With online gambling,young people are very free to gamble even how many hours they will play for it.As long as they have their own money to gamble,then they will not stop from gambling.Addiction will really develop afterwards knowing that you can't hardly get rid already from gambling.

That's how addictions developed, when you are into this activity without any limitations as long as you have your money and you can always refill, there's no certain ages that prone into addictions young or old who's really engaged nowadays are all prone into addictions, the only thing regarding to this matters are the time where young people can deal into online gambling as they've got more free time.
