I Stumbled on a news that "Betting Companies in Uganda Luring Students to lost their Futures" with fake bonuses and promise of big wins. According to the explanation, the time you use in the casino affect your future and life which would have been used for studies. They use an idiomatic expression to portray the point by saying that " robbers came to steal money which your properties", but casinos came to steal your time, which will affect everything in your life in the future. So their brighten futures only ended up in gambling. And they further said the 30% of the students are well engaged in online gambling instead of focusing their students. And for "Sports Betting" and the money that is meant for tuition fees were used in this act.
And that prompt the regulators to come up and say that gambling companies are exploiting the students with unrealistic wins. And research shows that 97% of the students used mobile phones to gamble online during school hours as a disguised as entertainment.

What is your say in this critical issue against gambling companies?
Yes, it really does affects education/ studies, because as a student, you were sent to school to learn and make the early part of your life to be meaningful and useful to your life, since education is the bedrock of ones knowledge in other for you to be useful to yourself and the society at large.
In a school setting, it is wrong to introduce gambling to students because it will lead them astray, making them not to be focused in their academics, using their school fees to gamble and be involved in a lot of atrocities while in school mainly for those lucky ones in gambling, are now exposed to gambling will now feels they are on top of the world financially.
Gambling in school causes early addiction and renders the youths useless to themselves and the society large, therefore it should be prohibited in schools and the management should find a way of not making gambling sites available in the schools environment to the extent of students accessing the sites and getting promos from casinos basically for students because at this stage all a students needs is to focus on his career and become someone better in life before going into gambling , let every individual go into gambling at their own will not forcing them in school while they are suppose to be studying.
