However, some countries are much more ahead of others in the number of gambling addicts, because, probably, the government takes a shadow policy there so that the local population and, of course, tourists play gambling. For example, this happens in Japan, Australia or Las Vegas or in Krasnaya Polyana in Russia.
Of course, the question for any government of any country remains open: do they want to see part of their population prosperous and happy, or forgetting reality in gambling?
The topic isn’t about addiction, it’s about how casino games aren’t as popular in Australia compared to sports betting. For me, I can see the reason, and maybe I’m biased since I also bet more on sports than on casino games.
With sports betting, it doesn’t take too much time, and I can put a decent amount of money because I trust my own analysis. With casino games though, it’s all luck. Your strategy isn’t really to win, it’s just to minimize losses or extend your session. That’s the reality of why a lot of people have shifted to sports betting.
