Is this an isolated phenomenon or it's just where im from? I see more and more gambling commercials, tv ads, and I see more and more gambling spots all over the streets. There were casinos before but im talking about places where people take bets usually on soccer and other sports, not a classic casino with the usual casino stuff. I see they are located near high schools too. This could cause a gambling addiction epidemic among the youth, which has a hard time making money these days and feel desperate and end up gambling whatever little they make.

I claim this cannot be a simple coincidence. The rich have always gambled, but lower end classes weren't gambling that much in the past as far as I know. There weren't definitely as many gambling spots all over the place before.

If that happens to my country, it will be immediately dealt with by the security forces, I don't know where your country is but with this incident it will definitely damage morale many young people are still in their infancy and they cannot control their emotions well. If the place where gambling is indeed official, there is indeed a regulation to be able to visit it, but if it is illegal gambling places then it is very worrying.

That's why I think it's always better for people in general if such businesses as gambling and prostitution are legal and regulated. In the places where it is illegal it is still thriving in many cases only doing more harm to the state and to the individuals in particular. People under age of 18 shouldn't be allowed to gamble, but no one cares if it's illegal anyway.
