QCI #043 - More Americans Seeking Help for Gambling Addictions

Let's Talk Economics!

Courtesy of The Economist: This is why I do not like gambling verticals; although they are profitable, they are profitable because of people's susceptibility to becoming addicted. Calls to the National Problem Gambling Hotline have soared since the introduction of gambling apps. States with legal sports gambling have seen exponential growth compared to those without it.

Personally, Digital Gambling should be banned on the sheer notion that it is a business, and the house always wins.
