Apparently Florida is changing its laws concerning gambling. The legal age for gambling will be lowered from 21 to 18, and they are removing the limits in stakes in poker games.
In my opinion this is irresponsible, and clearly it has been changed it so that it allows even more money to be made. If the age is lowered then it is just exploiting younger gamblers, and if the limits are removed then it is exploiting everybody.
Fair enough, everybody has free will so if they are stupid enough to gamble ridiculous amounts of money and risk losing it then it is up to them, but I still think that Florida should take some responsibility.
There’s obviously nothing wrong with people gambling, as long as it is responsible, a quality which may be lost on 18 year olds and people who are willing to gamble more than £100.
And changing the laws right now with the economic climates the way they are just tops it all off; it’s almost encouraging people to gamble when this is arguably one of the last things they should be doing.
