Since the study classifies the seriousness of gambling addiction at the same level as other types of addiction, such as alcohol or drugs, gambling has a different advantage, which is that it can be practiced in complete privacy. It is enough to have a phone connected to the Internet to play bets, whether you are at school or in the bathroom at home. This specificity is what makes it difficult to follow and direct.
What you say is very true, in particular I have always said that technology can help us as well as harm because those same tools can continue to cause some type of damage, but it is something that we have available, it is already in each person in what way. You have to use these technological tools, before online casinos we had to go to the physical casino to enjoy, after online casinos were created this changed, things are no longer the same as before, so an addict now , he must have a lot of willpower to do things, he simply has to control his strength to play on the phone, PC, tablet, because things depend on himself, he cannot have a police officer or a supervisor who is watching him. does and what it doesn't do, unless you receive specialized help in a clinic or something similar.
I will always keep in mind that if a person is an Addict, we must try to support them in everything we have the ability to do, we cannot give up in the face of any Adversity, and help a person who needs it because we will be giving more hope.
