Is there any effective way to make sure youths stays where the are told to stay instead of looking for quick money? Gambling isn't the solution to poverty it will possibly drown you deep into more poverty.
Gambling among the youths cannot be prevented or stopped. The youths cannot stop looking for quick money because quick money is what the whole world celebrates over slow money. Gambling may not be the solution out of poverty but that element of hope that it gives the youth is the thread that they hang unto. They are quick to tell you how a friend of a friend made millions from a bet and that someday it is going to be their turn.
But why would I blame the youths. In my country, the social media influencers who advertise these sports betting sites and casinos do it for the quick money too. Do they care if the youths are gambling responsibly? No. They just want to do the 20 minutes sports advert and get their millions.
