COVID-19 was a difficult moment; many people lost their jobs as a result of the government's massive lockdown; many individuals were rendered jobless, particularly those living in the most afflicted countries. Some turned to online casino and football gambling, betting extra money every day in the hopes of feeding themselves or their families. I've been in that situation before; I know how it feels to be unemployed and to struggle every day just to feed. People are still going through hard circumstances over there, so we shouldn't blame anyone who has become addicted to gambling, all in the name to feed, surviving is winning, if a tight gambler wants to survived, he or she needs to keep constant winning, that's how the whole gambling system works.
However, what is done in such conditions can actually worsen the economic or financial situation because they decide to gamble to get some money so they can support their family.
I know how I feel because at that time I also lost my job and had a business crash so my mind was always looking for ways to turn a little money into more even if what I did was wrong.
Yes and I don't blame anyone for gambling addiction because it is a choice and I'm sure they must have considered everything but due to economic factors and demands one way or another it will be done.
But in reality, many people from all over the world are involved in gambling during the Covid-19 pandemic.
Choosing to gamble to have a better financial situation is a bad idea in the first place. One should think of doing something else but never get themselves into gambling when they already know that they have limited resources which they need to utilize in a way which can make it grow and gambling is not that thing since you can lose it all in no time with it.
I understand how difficult it is to not have a job or an income to support your family and have basic necessities but gambling is never a problem solver, people tend to gamble when they have more money than they need, not when they have a limited amount and want to make it more.
