I Stumbled on a news that "Betting Companies in Uganda Luring Students to lost their Futures" with fake bonuses and promise of big wins. According to the explanation, the time you use in the casino affect your future and life which would have been used for studies. They use an idiomatic expression to portray the point by saying that " robbers came to steal money which your properties", but casinos came to steal your time, which will affect everything in your life in the future. So their brighten futures only ended up in gambling.  And they further said the 30% of the students are well engaged in online gambling instead of focusing their students. And for "Sports Betting" and the money that is meant for tuition fees were used in this act.
And that prompt the regulators to come up and say that gambling companies are exploiting the students with unrealistic wins. And research shows that 97% of the students used mobile phones to gamble online during school hours as a disguised as entertainment.
You can click this link to read more of the whole study and what about the case in your country? Students are using Tuition fees to gamble and dropping out from schools across.
How Betting Companies Luring Students to Lost their Future

This is an alarming issues concerning students.
What is your say in this critical issue against gambling companies?



Though I don't know about the part of luring, but most times students just want to do something many things out of their limit. Gambling is supposed to be for +18 but nowadays, you can find young teenagers trying to pass Thier way into a betting shop just to gamble. They are not ready for such effect that gambling can draw on them. They won't be able to handle addiction unlike the adults that still are not able to conquer it completely. If there's any such company luring students to gamble, I think it would be best that they are placed a fine as it's not supposed happen.
