Students are more likely to be addicted to gambling. When they cannot do anything else, they may consider gambling as a way to earn money. This kind of effort makes them the most vulnerable. On the one hand, those students are hindered in their education and similarly, they are also financially devastated. There are some who are very conscious and try within their capability and if they lose, they can stop them. For those who can control it, gambling may not cause any harm. But in most cases, students cannot control their greed. When they lose, they get more excited and their efforts to recover the loss are even more affected.

Are you saying that students are more likely to become addicted to gambling?
In my opinion there is no social condition or age to become addicted, but only a psychological condition of need for dopamine and other substances that give pleasure. This is why addiction is difficult to defeat.

Students are not the only ones that are likely to become addicted but it can be self destructive to them more than others. My reason for saying this is because being a student isn't easy especially those in tertiary institutions, they need to be focused on their studies without any distractions but gambling can take them off track and even make some of them drop out of school. When this happens it becomes bad for their mental health

Students are more likely to get addicted than an older because when they see their studies as their main job, they get some extra time during which they start looking for opportunities to earn money. Even if someone can arrange a job, in most cases it is not possible. They can spend idle time and during that time many of the students try to gamble for some money. If they get money sitting at home without any effort, it is certainly not a bad idea but at some point students become addicted there, although not all of them, but they are more likely to get addicted. This picture is not the same in all areas and it may be more or less in some areas.
