They cant be the target, they are too young and the money on their cycle is not that big. Number 1 reasdo is they are young and under age.
gambling at their age is very illegal. it should not affect education nor studies as they should be working on their futures and not spinning around any roullete nor slots.
Students will not become targets, they will only spend a little of their money. But what is concerning is that the habit of gambling at that age is very vulnerable. If they cannot stop, they may gamble worse when they start earning money from a job.
Emotionally, students are also not yet in control. It is feared that they will be affected by the desire to gamble and may harm fellow students or others. They may not be able to visit physical casinos. But online, they can access gambling even with a little of their pocket money.
