A clueless man drowning in ​​£100k debt after five years betting on sports he knew nothing about

39-year-old Chris Bilham is boldly speaking out on the topic of gambling addiction, as he struggled with it for five years. At the age of 30, he decided to take a chance and bet money on a football match on an app he had downloaded. Little did he know that wasn’t going to be the last, and he went down a spiral of a destructive gambling addiction that left him with a £100,000 debt and excruciating suicidal thoughts.

Gambling addictions spike amid the pandemic crisis

For the first time in history, the entire globe shared a comparable struggle - the pandemic lockdown.

AMCA representatives instruct consumers to report unlicensed gambling services.

Cashless gaming prompts concerns | UKGC shares survey results

Anyone born before 1999 will likely remember the joys of playing outside, splashing around in muddy puddles, and occasionally getting a mouth full of sand falling off the swings. Picking random berries off bushes and eating unwashed apples right off the trees didn’t phase anyone in the slightest. Unfortunately, new generations won’t get the luxury to tell the same story, as the ongoing pandemic resulted in fear touching cash. Tech companies put some gas into the development of cashless payments, which casino facilities, especially ones in Nevada, ate right up. Now the UK land-based casinos want to get on board with the new system, but survey statistics show that gamblers aren’t too thrilled about the futuristic payment option.

Philippines Resorts World Mania casino reports 73% staff vaccination rate | Horrifying threat from the president

While the US is still in its developing stages of relentlessly trying to force the vaccine, countries like Philippines and Indonesia are on a full-blown madness roll. Philippine president, Rodrigo Duterte, is threatening jail time, or an injection of Ivermectin (essentially meant for pigs) to residents who fail to comply. Being that a good portion of countries in Asia are forced into submission with fear tactics, it’s not surprising to see major businesses obey the orders at the snap of the government’s fingers. Resorts World Mainila casino representatives are boasting about their success in carrying out the commands.
