Gambling is a lot easier to access now than before. So it is no surprise if more people find themselves gambling. Unfortunately, not a lot of us can be responsible enough to prevent ourselves from falling into deep addiction. This probes the question, who are the most vulnerable to falling into a gambling addiction?
The less privileged and the underage are a center of addiction and are most vulnerable to gambling that any other category of people that are into gambling. For the less privileged, they find a lot of hope through gambling hoping to take them easily out of their hardened life’s and get a fortune out of it one day which they never knew that it’ll just become an addiction and as they gain, they'll lose unless they get a good means to maybe invest their profit on something more sustainable and not on luck basis.
Underage can be addicted to gambling by peer group pressure. Your society and people you mingle with in the society has a lot of influence in you and when you are not up to their standards, you’ll want to level up to feel among and that will bring about considering a more quicker way to earn money which the society also have seen gambling as that route that’s easy to follow to get that money. So underage become addicted to it as they’re influenced to feel among with their peers so that they don’t look down on them in terms of lifestyle, and financial stability.
