To put it simply, the SOCIAL ENVIRONMENT plays a key role regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, and other related things.
If a society is a gambling-friendly community, obviously expect them to be exposed to gambling at most times. Since gambling is also considered a form of entertainment, expect more people to be involved with it as time goes.
But generally speaking, don't put that as a reason why others ended up addicted to gambling.
Gambling is never the road and will not be for me. We grow and learn everyday, the space doesn't matter how old or experience you're, what matters are the things you're able to accomplish for lifetime. In our everyday society, there are presence of opportunities we ought to make good use and there are also some chances that will drained up if taken up seriously. We should always make sure we're up and running for good purpose and not some random places that doesn't count.
