Overtime online gambling has become very popular, many people prefer to use websites and apps to bet on their favorite sports and casino games. This has made gambling very convenient and easily accessible, it's actually why people get addicted to it. Anyone who has a smartphone won't see the need of going to a bet center to gamble. The world has gone digital, but is this causing more harm than good?. land based casinos and bet shops require you to leave your house but online gambling is available, people can gamble from the comfort of their home whenever and however they want. This has made a lot of people addicted, some started by staking low amounts but overtime they found themselves gambling with large amounts of money. Easy access to gambling websites can make it harder to stop and this might lead to a serious issue. Most people think they are in Control of theirself or just playing to have fun but they don't notice that it's turning into an habit. Online gambling has made more addicts than offline gambling.
Somehow somehow I share your sentiment here because having easy access to gambling can make an individual get addicted easily, because it's just like those gamblers that seat and dine in betting shops hoping that some day, they might hit a jackpot which will never come to reality.
And if you look at those sets of gamblers any money that comes into their hands goes straight to gambling which is really not the right thing to do, and online gambling give such people the perfect platform to soak themselves into addiction.
But on the other hand, online gambling is actually nice because it gives you that sense of privacy, and you can stake a game easily without getting bothered if the game is going to start or not, but let's take note that without online gambling or not, anyone that want to get addicted to gambling will still get addicted.
