Yeah, gambling addiction is a major problem. Root causes are psychology, society, and even our economics. People who have a addiction have distorted decision-making. They forget about the long-term effects and begin running after the brief excitement and sudden fulfillment.
The truth is, though, every problem has a solution - that answer begins within the person. They have to want to change and have help to bring about that transformation. Its about setting up a situation where they might see themselves truthfully, see the results of their activities, and choose better.
We also have to advocate sensible gaming. Setting boundaries, knowing the risks, and appreciating the game without let it rule your life is therefore essential. Its about striking a balance - a means of enjoyment free from the trap of addiction.
The thing is that different areas of our life are trying to dictate to us the rule that we need to consume here and now, otherwise tomorrow something like covid-19 or war, of which there are a lot now, will start. It seemed that over time people should become smarter, but there are only more wars... Even I began to value life more and enjoy every moment. Also, this whole philosophy is dictated to us by social networks, where everyone posts happy photos from a successful life and many develop an inferiority complex. Young people do not want to work in a stable job like their parents, but want to get everything here and now. All this is projected onto gambling, where many players are ready to lose everything, risking losing huge amounts of money that they have been saving for several years to change their lives, but we know how this usually ends. I think that it is very little for players to double their money...
