Gambling Commission: 31% of youth gamble with their own money.

UK.- The 2022 Young People and Gaming Report, a yearly research conducted by the British Gambling Commission to better understand how young people are exposed to and involved in all forms of gambling, has just been published. According to the regulator, it uses the findings to further safeguard this age group against injury.
According to this year's poll, 31% of kids (under 16) indicated they had gambled with their own money in the previous year. Most people said their gambling was lawful or did not have any age-restricted items. For instance, playing penny pusher or claw grab machines in the arcade (22%), betting money with friends or family (15%), or playing cards with friends or family were some examples.
 
Gambling in any forms should not be encourage among the kids. It is injurious to their health. It equally made them to be addicted, the situation they won't be able to control their indulgence.
 
I don't even think tho survey is correct, because to me, especially in Africa here, almost 80% of youth are actually gambling with their money and the gambling is destroying so many youth life. Many percentage of the youth are already addicted to gambling. Please let us always ensure that we are playing safe.
 
About 80% of the gamblers in the world today are youth and I can say categorically that in my country, the higher percentage of the people gambling are youth. This is why it should be preached to them on how to involve risk strategy while gambling.
 
In fact more than 80% youth in my own geographical location bet with their own money, they don't rely on anybody to place bet because most youth are already working and living on their own, i think the research of the percentage of youth that bet with their own money has to be redo again
 
Now adays people find it difficult to work most especially the youths they always sees it a very difficult to work offline thats was why most of them are into gambling just because they don't want any stress and for them to become a gambler the thing thats the easiest way of making money not knowing its an money lost machine.
