I’m seeing a lot of messages about gambling and it ruining lives and it needing to be banned. Assume that I am in heavy ignorance on how it ruins lives, and am asking from a genuine point of curiosity. Can you explain the issue?

@ThatsAdmirable I think for me it’s mostly the exposure of a highly addictive and potentially destructive activity to an audience of minors.

@ThatsAdmirable There are tons of ‘yeah but what about XYZ’ arguments you can get into, but on average I believe people that are regularly spinning slots are doing it because of addiction rather than enjoyment. Ultimately making their lives worse.
