What is your say in this critical issue against gambling companies?
betting companies that are caught specifically luring students into gambling should be heavily fined, closed and their owners charged. these kinds of betting companies know what they are doing to these students and they don't care as long as they can profit from them.
seeing that 30% of university students are involved in gambling in some way is concerning and I wouldn't doubt if that number continues to rise.
In addition to what you have stated, there has to be some sort of regulation and initiative from the Government to combat gambling and its advertisements in the country. If what OP mentioned is true, then this will hamper the development and welfare of the youth, ultimately affecting the country.
Like what I have mentioned previously, gambling does generate tremendous amount of revenue in a country. But with the revenue that it generates must come regulation that balances both the interest of the government and the welfare of the people. If the balance is tilted on either side, then this will destroy the harmony and affect everyone as a whole.
