No one can beat the business of gambling Casinos because this type of gambling is quite in demand now and Casinos will make some efforts to promote their business more and more on social media. Simple things sometimes just happen and even gambling ads are posted on social media platforms so who can we blame. Without self-awareness to control then I am sure no one can help because gambling must be handled responsibly so that someone does not get into trouble later.
I don't think it's just a question of marketing, i think people also love playing. See me that i play with my old friends from time to time to briscola, broom or poker.
We certainly have no addiction, but we like to play.
Today's generations play online with games where they shoot i think Fortnite type.
When you routinely play gambling even though it's just friends, it's basically a form of addiction. No matter what you call it, because gambling addiction is basically not easy to realize for most players. They just feel that they are just playing and or filling their spare time, but when they bet every day, then it is clearly an addiction. But indeed, when you gamble every day but you also don't have financial problems, then it can be assumed that you are also gambling responsibly and safely. So, whether there is marketing or not related to gambling, a big thing to make gambling grow is because of the invitation of friends to friends, and that has happened from time to time.
That part of your statement where you said that gambling addiction is not esay to realize is true, there are situation where a gambler keep denying that his involvement already deep but for him he's just getting some fun but the amount of his loses is no longer acceptable, those are people who thinks that they are doing it responsiby but action is speaking louder than what they saying.
You need to have that full control inside you to avoid missing huge amount of money just because of a wrong conception about gambling.
