Re: Gambling addiction becomes more popular with young people over time
I strongly believe that a lot of these new mobile games are heavily influencing kids to gamble. Their minds get very stimulated when they win virtual items like points, achievements, or gems. This isn't necessarily a bad thing though, as long we we teach them to gamble responsibly and treat it as a side hobby.
Besides that, I often heard from my friends who have kids, sometimes their kids buy something from the other kids to fill their bag with special character. I think this will make their kids spend more money than to enjoy the game. But I think it's okay because as long as they don't play gambling in the early ages
But I don't want to teach any kids to play gambling because once they enjoy with the game, then it will make them hard to stop them in the future.It is quite popular among young teens because they need money other than their pocket money, so this option gets popular when one friend wins. People who have money also gamble for fun, mostly retired peoples play for fun.
Another factor is the challenging factor which is in gambling and mostly between two friends. Many youngsters challenge the other just to win over the other, ego plays a big role here.
