What is the online gambling epidemic?
Many people blame themselves for their addiction and getting out of control, however, the system is rigged against you from the start, and optimised to create addiction faster.
It is unsurprising that people get addicted and find themselves logging on and playing. Small wins creating a buzz, a user experience that just wants you to continue gambling and with sports the lure and love of the game.
If you recognise any of these signs, talk to us. You can break the cycle!
