Faking these kinds of information would be the equivalent of financial fraud right ? If so, people could even go to jail for faking this.
Absolutely. By doing that, if they got caught, they can get a double punishment, and that can make them in jail for a long time.
If we talking about an addiction it's not about learning. Most gamblers are aware they are playing a rigged game, it's just that their brain is "tricked" into thinking it's having fun. Even if they are aware that gambling is bad, they have a sort of irrational craving that will not go away with education or past experiences.
The addiction always attracts people to play more, and even if they lose much money, they will still want to play more. What is in their brain is only playing gambling games, whether it's one game or more games, because they find something excited inside the gambling games.
