But there are definitely studies that prove that the number of pathological gamblers is related to the availability of gambling. The more gambling establishments and machines in bars = more gambling addicts. The balancing act is important here. According to the official statement, gambling is only legal in Germany anyway, because the human impulse to gamble is something natural and cannot be suppressed, or something like that.

I think gambling needs a much stricter regulation. My idea was once to start a general gambling registry. Every person who wants to gamble has to register and verify online and gets his personal player card. A machine will only run if a player card is inserted. Payment is also made exclusively via this card, which must be loaded beforehand. In addition, limits can be set and the player can be blocked completely and forever. Then, however, unfortunately, quite a few gambling houses close because gambling addicts let themselves be locked after a mega loss of control because the personal overcoming is much lower. And the sad truth is that gambling houses live mainly from gambling addicts. Quite an immoral industry.
