Only few gamblers made their success in terms of changing their life financially as most of the time instead of making money its you who will lose it all, especially with that easy access you can easily connect your card or banking information and that's it you can enjoy and risk all your savings, the decision is all yours if how will you handle the situation, if you are good in controlling your emotions you might take the advantage but If not then chances is for you to lose your money.
We can't be sure who has more gambling incidents, but I think there are fewer people who are successful in gambling, maybe even countable on our fingers, but those who experience defeat or destruction of life because they experience many defeats are greater than those who are successful, I'm sure of this.
You are right, in this case the decision is up to us and we will determine it, if we can control our emotions well, then not only can we get benefits but also with good awareness we can know when to stop gambling, because of course gambling that is done continuously is bad behavior.
