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.

How Betting Companies Luring Students to Lost their Future Students use tuition fees for sports betting, and drop outThis is an alarming issues concerning students.

Furthermore, all of these sites have no age restrictions. If this pattern continues, it's certain that their futures will be bleak. Furthermore, they lack guidance or a good environment. Starting with small wins at the beginning will lead to a lasting addiction.
As I've mentioned in another discussion, you can see it here:
