The major causes of this is as a result of, (1)most Parents aren't taking proper care of their children or engage their children with skills that will fetch them money while they're studying, because these university students, when they have problems in school they start looking for alternative ways to earn easy money, I remember my course mate that almost used off his school fees back then in gambling. secondly students are influenced by some of their association of friends and in some cases not even the betting companies that lure them.
Of course, many students do not have enough money during their studies, and the young period of life in which you really want to travel, buy yourself various things and not deny yourself anything. I also went through this stage in life and it was very difficult without money and in the end I could not realize what I wanted, but I did it much later, unfortunately. But in my time, social networks were not developed, which show a beautiful life now and many have a picture in their heads that everyone lives so well except them. I think that's why gambling has become too popular because everyone wants to get money very quickly and does little to achieve this useful.
