So am asking the forum what do you think is the cause of the rise in gambling related activities in our society is it due to bad economic situation or simply addiction?
Let have your view please
The factors causing the rise of gambling are because there is a lot of free time, no other activities and coupled with the environment that is often found that indicates gambling. Economic conditions are the main factor but a stronger drive is in the environment and online gambling access can be done in seconds. Who doesn't want to get money quickly? That is the temptation so that gambling activities both in the past and until now have only one attraction namely the lure of a quick way to get money.
In a nutshell you are talking about people being jobless, indeed this can be a major factor that increases gambling addiction.. having a lot of free time can be a problem and most people get tempted to gamble whenever they are bored or having nothing to do..an idle mind is the devil's workshop, this is a popular saying that's actually true...if you don't have anything doing to keep your mind busy you'd definitely want to gamble even when you feel like it's not necessary..that's why I love being on the forum it keeps my mind busy.
