2. Bigger paychecks.
Not all rich people are gamblers but they certainly have more chances to gamble if they wanted to. According to data, the higher the income is in some countries the more people gamble in that country. Since the average citizen is earning a lot, even if they spend quite a significant amount of money in gambling this will still not cause financial doom.
Is it fair to assume that a better economy and a solid framework will make people gamble more but be addicted less? This is the
source, by the way.
Nah, I disagree. In my country, there are videos of people from the lower class playing slots while driving or working. When I visited a well-known local online casino, I saw a lot of whales playing, but there were even more people from the low to middle class. Why? Because of poverty. They want to escape poverty through gambling. So even while working or driving, they’re playing slots. It’s their greed for money that pushes them into that situation, and it’s usually the lower class people who end up getting into gambling because of that.
