The loot boxes thread got me curious about whether any of you have experienced gambling problems/addiction? If you're too young to gamble yourself, do you have friends or family who gamble?
All behaviour is a need trying to be met.
The truth resists simplicity.

It really is depressing how people struggle with gambling or addiction and cause so much pain to themselves and the people around them. It's a slippery slope that seems really easy to go down.
I play games and only 'gamble' with virtual/pretend money and I can get a buzz from that adrenaline alone. I also understand that people might want to win more when they are on a lucky streak, or worse, try to win the money they lost back. But it never works out that way. I commend anyone who is able to recover from gambling and addiction and lead a better life. It must be really difficult.
