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.
It is true that students can have a bigger chance to get addiction. It is because the students still have weak mentality, unmatured, and they naturally love playing games. Moreover if they can earn some money from gambling, it will trigger them to be easier addicted. It will be like a motivation for them to get easy money.
