What about that “other” addiction – Gambling?
In 2018, the United States Supreme Court, in Murphy Vs. NCAA, held that sports gambling was legal in all of the United States. By 2019, many states began approving both traditional and sports betting, making on-line gambling accessible by cell phone, computer, and tablets. As the world changed in 2020 with the onset of work from home law practices due to COVID-19, isolation and easy access to gambling followed. With it came the compulsive gambler.
Internet gambling and Sports betting apps are now an everyday part of watching television. Whether these forms of gambling are ever “risk free” may depend upon the nature of the risk involved. The connection between compulsive gambling , financial crimes and self-harm is compelling.
