We already know that less privileged people are more prone to getting addicted to gambling with the involvement of financial reward. They are the ones chasing more wins because they actually need the money. The more money they get, the deeper they get into the addiction.
This set of people are most likely to get addicted to gambling more. Even the economy of some countries will make the low income earners look for an alternative to their source of income and with the competitive state of things, it makes them looks for the most easiest way and less stressful way to make money and they result in gambling. Gambling can make you rich if it favours you some time and make you lose big when it’s not in your favour. It has an high risk tendency for low income earners engaging in it than it does for already rich folks.
Another demographic that is more likely to get addicted to gambling are adolescents. Adolescents are aged 12-18. The rise of online casinos made way to more kids getting access into gambling. It is said that male adolescents are the ones most recorded to have ended up addicted in gambling. Their addiction is usually associated with sports and mobile games betting.
The peer group pressure have also contributed to this. When kids are growing up and find their mates living a more comfortable and luxurious life, social media folks in their age group also flaunting money and impressing their girlfriends, they tend to want to do the same. Meanwhile, not all that glitters is gold and they end up trying to copy that lifestyle and since they have no means and the IQ to get some knowledge themselves that’ll be productive, they settle for the less stress and yet more risky way to make money.
