In fact, countries with regulated gambling industries are investing millions of dollars in various gambling damage campaigns. Australia ranks first among the countries with the highest gambling rates in the world. Unfortunately, Canada is also included in the list. Hundreds of thousands of Canadians suffer from gambling problems.

What is the conclusion of the study
The most disturbing thing is that young people and adolescents are among the most vulnerable to gambling and they are thought to have a higher risk of developing gambling problems. According to a recent study led by Frank Vitaro of the University of Montreal, most teenagers who participate in gambling activities are prone to trouble at school.

Frank Vitaro of the University of Montreal conducted a study of 766 Canadians aged 14 to 17 with the Sainte-Justine Hospital Research Center in Canada and a team of researchers on child psychosocial maladjustment. They were asked specific questions about their gambling habits and academic performance.

Surprisingly, the focus of the study was not the frequency and time of playing games, but the various gambling activities involved by teenagers, which allowed them to more accurately predict whether they were vulnerable to gambling problems, and gathered information on the social status and structure of families where they grew up.

The study found a link between teenagers' academic performance and their gambling hobbies. According to the study, teenagers involved in gambling see their academic performance decline in the following year.

As for the results, Vitaro explained that students with gambling hobbies spend more time gambling than school-related tasks such as reading, attending classes, and homework, while teenagers with gambling habits are exposed to the negative effects of peers with the same hobby.
