Stop and Ban all Gambling adverts from social media
Everyday when I go on social media I see adverts and scam stories that make you want to click and read more about a heart touching story, that turns out to just be a fake story where the end paragraph is advertising winnings from gambling sites. This can causes so many problems for people.
Having had personal issues with gambling that started out from clicking a link on social media, I want to make others aware of the issues it can cause, not just financially but personal and family relationships. It can ruin your life. The links/adverts/stories advertised are a way to make money, and unfortunately a lot of people fall to this and get into a vicious circle of gambling/loans/debt and more serious issues like suicidal thoughts or even suicide itself. It needs to be stopped. Now.
