I see a lot of people here talking about gambling responsibly. Yes, that is something very true, but have you ever been a gambling addict?
I used to be a gambling addict, I used the salary I earned every day for gambling. I have to admit that it is very difficult to get rid of the habit of gambling, let alone winning frequently, but after a long time, I felt like I was losing because I didn't have any savings due to my habit. Now I'm still an active gambler, but a little more responsible than I once was.
Only we ourselves can control the habit or addiction of gambling, you have to realize that every money you earn must be allocated in part for family needs and have a little savings. Every activity you do must be balanced with the responsibilities you have on your shoulders. Being a responsible gambler can free you from problems you never realized.
Good for you brother. That's the right way. Others could not get away from it so a big congratulations to you.
Gambling addiction is such a big problem today because of the ease of access to gambling sites. I wish they could be strict about the registration of their customers because there's a big chance that kids are with us gambling their way too and are now prone to what you have experienced.
I have kids, that's why I want this to happen so much. We will never know when they will bump into one gambling site from the advertisements that are coming out on both social media and other applications that they are installing especially games.
There's one android application that I have seen doing that and I know they have no control over their advertisement but at least it should be blocked by an ad blocker so that kids won't see it. That's not the case though, worse, they are offering premium items by watching advertisements and I don't think that's a good thing.
Anyway, I already uninstalled that app and told my kid to never install it again. I don't want them to end up as gambling degenerates.
