> Provide skills acquisitions programmes and avenues of adequate job opportunities, because a lot of young people trooping into gambling are doing so as a result of a lack of sustainable means of income which makes them to see gambling is the all embracing means to make money.

But people gamble more when they have more money. So I don't really think it's lack of sustainable means of income that make people to gamble. A gambler is a gambler wether the person has a means of sustainable income or not. Someone who gamble $5 when such person doesn't have a means of sustainable income will gamble with $20 or more when they have means of sustainable income. Am not saying the government shouldn't provide skills and job opportunities for their citizens, but I just want to correct the impression that lack of jobs or means of income is what fuels gambling addiction.
