[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 611367, member: 14557"] My difficult child has never gambled inside a gambling establishment either. And neither in night club etc. that offer Poker and BlackJack tables. He probably does have gambled with slot machines that you can find from any grocery stores lobby around here, but that wasn't his problematic behaviour. We have age limit of 18 for gambling, but my kid was well able to get himself addicted while he was 16. For him it was an online thing (and yeah, included identity thefts.) Of course things you get addicted to are influenced by culture and availability. We for example don't have any crack addicts. Crack simply isn't really in our market. It's amphetamine, heroin, benzos or some other prescription drugs around here mostly. And gambling is extremely hot and popular especially among younger males. And like with everything, underagers find ways to do it even though they are not allowed (they do find ways to drink and smoke or use snus too.) Especially sport betting is heavily trendy and extremely heavily advertised (while illegally) through social media and other cool and present methods. [/QUOTE]
