Yes the industry is destroying many things from those students but if you critically look at it, the issue is also from the students because they went there to gamble or login to gamble and the gambling firms didn't invite them to go though the advertisements also a means of luring them to the sites but they can shun them.
As others have said most of them are sorting for other things to get something to feed on or to pay bill.
There's always a choice, and I believe I have said that many times. The online casinos and sports betting websites are not forcing us to gamble. It will depend on us if we want to.
So, we can really escape a world full of stress while gambling if we want, but it depends on how strong our mental capabilities are. There are gamblers who are just urged by friends and they strongly believe that they can make money out of gambling, which is not true.
If we can avoid this, then maybe we are better without gambling and just live life the way we live it.
