some said that it’s because the philippines is a poor country and that’s why they get addicted easily but is it possible that most gamblers who got addicted are old people past retirement and have nothing else to do anymore?
In some cases, people addicted to gambling usually come from the lower middle class. Their mindset is easily influenced by the desire to make money quickly. This is usually due to the influence of those around them who regularly gamble and share their winnings. Many lower middle class individuals try their luck with gambling, forcing themselves to spend capital just to gamble. Similarly, as they age, they are unable to engage in any productive activities, so gambling becomes a way to relieve boredom. However, not all elderly people can do this; the majority of those addicted to gambling remain among the poor.
