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.
Closing down this betting companies may seem a little bit extreme. The truth is that the goal of every business is to get more customers either through ads, promo or bonuses, that is definitely how marketing works. The student were only lured, they weren't forced. I think our focus should be more on the provision of a stronger regulation, and awareness campaign which will help limit the access of under-aged into the act of gambling.
