Gambling is a death trap

Gambling's rise, especially on digital platforms, is a growing global problem that disrupts lives and causes severe financial, mental, and social harm. The 2018 U.S. Supreme Court decision allowing states to legalize sports betting has led to a surge in online gambling, with 30 states now permitting it 812. Globally, gambling revenue is projected to reach $700 billion by 2028, driven by smartphone adoption in low- and middle-income countries.
