Good initiative to create awareness among the young generation that is much addicted to gambling. Based on sources, 64% of adult New Zealanders have gambled in the past 12 months. On average, 26% of internet users in the country have gambled recently. This is a big volume from a small island nation.

On average, $598 is spent every year on gambling. These are all huge, and teenagers use the internet a lot. This means that among the 26%, at least 20% will be teenagers. Gambling being a big business, the market is full of different platforms. Lotteries, gaming machines, and sports betting are among the most popular ones. However, the participation is high in these events, and the fund is low in terms of per capita losses. "Are you being gambled?" is following the principle "prevention is better than cure." This is appreciable and makes more of the young generation understand and decide what they need to do with gambling.
