[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]. The goal was to make gambling seamless and frictionless - so they could take advantage of every single time a person would be inclined to let their guard down at any point in their day to day life.[/quote] This. The ease of on-line betting and the aggressive marketing, specifically to young men, is doing exactly what it is designed to do. It has very little to do with "financial nihilism" and more to do with legalized corporate manipulation of addiction. There is a reason that opiates are tightly controlled substances. Gambling won't kill you directly in the same way, but will lead to financial ruin. I don't think we will see the full societal impact of online gambling for a couple more years, when current teens and twenty-somethings reach the life stage where they should be starting to become more financially stable and they aren't. It's going to tank the economy.[/quote]
