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.

How Betting Companies Luring Students to Lost their Future Students use tuition fees for sports betting, and drop outThis is an alarming issues concerning students.
What is your say in this critical issue against gambling companies?
To be honest, it's very concerning to see this happen, even the target market of this betting company is college students who are still relatively unstable, they still can't think maturely, most of them still get money from their parents, they don't understand how hard it is to earn their own money, so they spend it without thinking.
This can have a bad impact not only on themselves, even families can be affected, 30% of these students will think about how to get money to be able to play and continue to play in gambling, initially maybe they will lie to parents to get money, after that they have the potential to commit crimes just to get money, of course this is detrimental to society.
