This youtuber coffeezilla has 4.3 million subs and his video had 2 million views in the last 24 hours. The video is about how gambling is taking over the world.

Gambling is basically everywhere at this point.

Banking apps don’t just give links to casinos anymore, they offer games inside their apps which is crazy and it is not only the banking apps that do it. Shopping apps, telecom apps, mobile games… almost every mobile app out there has a slot game embedded in it.

Dafuq is going on?

Gamification is fun = companies take advantage of that.

I don't play casino slots, but I like slot mechanics and loot boxes on games. It's fun.

It just hits differently to get a game skin from a loot box, where you have the chance to win something rare. But I understand this is dangerous for many people who have no self control. I know I do... so I'm personally not too worried.

[Su-asa]

It's frustrating how you are searching for something else in the Internet and off a sudden soke ads popup and then redirect you to another website which is from a gambling platform. Indeed betting sites/platforms has taken over the Internet and just like what TryNinja said, only those gamblers who do not have self control will eventually fall for this. I must believe because gambling is taking over the society which is why many government are trying to ban gamble in their countrys.

[Charles-Tim]

What is going on is that people should discipline themselves very well and also teach their children and people around them not to see gambling as a means of earning money or income but as just a way to have fun because people that gambling will affect are people that see it as a means of making money.

With over 12k comments on the said video within 24hrs of it being posted shows the YouTuber has got a strong following. There must be something he's feeding his supporters with that they agree with. It's not an easy feat.

Gambling is basically everywhere at this point.

Yeah, it's obvious it should be that way. People get motivation going into gambling because gambling advertises fortune change (change of fortune). People want to change their fortunes and look like what's advertised to them. The poorer a people are, the more exposed they're to the temptations of going into gambling. That's what's happening.

Yes I'd say that gambling is really anywhere in the world. Even in my country where apps have offered gambling links and apps. It won't be really long before someone mentioned that someone won huge amount of money. Even the influencers are mostly shown in the ads of the casinos that they are promoting either in facebook, YouTube or any social media platform. Because of things like that happening then our government here announced that they are finding scam ones since there are many apps showing up one after another. Even my parents phone always shows casinos apps almost every hour.

[Jawhead999]

They know people are love to gamble, but they don't want other people (close friends/family) to know if they're a gambler.

Like what you said e.g. shopping apps, telecom apps, mobile games etc, people know you might only purchase or playing something, but they won't really know if you use it for gambling. Sometime, many people don't want other people to know if they're a gambler.

This is true because there is massive interest in gambling now and most countries that had strict laws against gambling are relaxing them. I don't know what may be responsible for that but one what easily comes to mind is that there is growing financial awareness now due to increased internet connectivity. Bloggers are also helping push this with their usual line "if you have a smart phone, you can make money from it". I'm also surprised that banking apps in my country now allow gambling transaction and even allow in-app gambling.

What is going on is that people should discipline themselves very well and also teach their children and people around them not to see gambling as a means of earning money or income but as just a way to have fun because people that gambling will affect are people that see it as a means of making money.

The responsibility is on the gamblers to make sure that their are gambling within the set limits that is generally acceptable and ok for them, things are changing and access to information and tools are becoming easily avaliable and accessible which make it easier to see gambling adverts being put at your face at frequent as possible.

But we as gamblers are the one that will put in the efforts that help us to drive the right satisfaction grom those gambling activities.

Although government also have a role to play in regulation of acdessto gambling adverts just for the sake of the young people, who are still under age to gambling.

yea!! coffeezilla hit the nail on the head with that one because gambling has quietly crept into almost every corner of daily life!! it is no longer just casinos or betting sites. what is cr*zy is how it is being disguised as fun mini games or reward systems in regular apps. you open a banking or shopping app and suddenly you are spinning a wheel or opening mystery boxes!! that is basically gambling psychology being used to keep people hooked and the worst part is that most people don’t even realize it is gambling anymore. it has kinda been normalized through marketing and influencer culture.

[Agbamoni]

I dont really give a F bout these influencers and what they think anymore.

The only truth he said there is the aspect of gambling being so popular in the world right now. I dont just agree that gambling is an epidemic.

If you gamble responsibly, you will never be in a tough spot.

[Stepstowealth]

What is going on is that people should discipline themselves very well and also teach their children

Children whom their parents fail to teach will be taught by society. And parents who have the intention to teach their children do not only need to teach their children through words but also through practical means and by example. If you're a parent who gambles, try to ensure that your children do not always see you gambling or do not even see you at all until they of age to actually understand the dangers of gambling, Because if you're telling your children not to gamble and then they're seeing you actively gambling they may take your advice less seriously and follow your actions.

I noticed this as well, gambling is now on the rise as the figures are quite increasing Ona daily basis.  The talk of banking App having links to betting platforms aren't just hear say, they are for real and I wonder what's really going on because banks I think should not be in a position to do such adverts or promotion for casinos because they are the government financial agencies so they should not be found in such an act but now the reverse is the case here as they go as far as promoting bets platform on their app  because the government does not have any restrictions on gambling and besides the government take taxes so why won't they do theirs to also make money from it.

[7juju]

Gambling sites and casinos owners are just intensifying their marketing strategies, to make sure gamblers don't find it difficult to gamble whenever they want. Even if gambling sites are now on different apps, it is still your choice to gamble, if you don't want to gamble you won't be forced to do it. Rather than complaining about it why not neglect it and use other services the app renders. If those gambling sites in those apps are not helping him, they are helping other people.

I have come across with that channel but with a different topic.

It's good that they have this content and topic to discuss with because it's happening almost everywhere. While they describe it as an epidemic, maybe they only see the picture only on their local.

But if they will have to see the global impact of it, then soon they'll change the description into a global scale or in terms of gambling pandemic.

The industry has grown a lot and that's good for the business but the impact of it is uncontrollable on how people become addicted to gambling, they are losing their grip and emotions.

Gambling makes money, its not that surprising that a business that makes money and does well in boom or bust economies would be thriving.
   Sports betting especially is increasingly popular, I love that sector of gambling myself so Im not surprised it barely needs promotion because sport does that job already so overall a very attractive business for consumer and business to provide.
  Everything became a bit more wild west with the use of mobiles, I think that was more then even the internet for effect of anarchist capitalism.

He is right, we have a silent epidemic, and it's gambling, because technology makes it easy for us to bet anytime, anywhere
Casinos online are a multi-billion-dollar industry; almost every developer and business organization wants to set up a gambling platform because the edge makes it a very profitable venture.

But how can we stop it? Many benefited from it, countries' business sectors, and people are doing this legally, I guess we will continue to have this pandemic because we consent to having this silent pandemic.

Gambling particularly online gambling became more popular because of the pandemic. Now it's the one that's causing an epidemic now to every single person around the world.

Well, with how rampant casino advertising is, it's not surprising that even a YouTuber like CoffeeZilla needs to speak about it. Unfortunately, there are many things that are getting affected negatively because of gambling. The one that disgusts me the most is the fact that even the banks are even offering online games INSIDE their mobile app as well. Well, I have nothing wrong against it, but for me, it's just kind of unethical to see it like that, but it is what it is.

At the end of the day, despite of the many gambling advertisements that we are seeing online, it's still up to us on whether we should gamble or not. If we are disciplined enough not to get attracted by these huge wins from other people then just don't gamble. If we are disciplined enough to avoid these gambling casinos then as much as possible, avoid them. If you believe that you can't control yourself if you lose your money then don't gamble. This gambling epidemic isn't stopping at all, and there's no way for it to be stopped. I don't know how and when it will be stopping.

American system is fuq ~XD

Bank offering gambling inside their apps + a easy loans or credits card. I guess debt traps in America is coming for sure. TBH, I watching the full video and must says these needed to be regulated as soon as possible.

The fuqdap things is "GAMBLING WITH ROBLOX" these is a massive illegal for sure. Roblox was being used mostly kids, and they're running with the kids but those gambling site offering a gambling site with Roblox. Damn.

[taufik123]

All the concepts of the game are indeed like gambling and the only difference is the use of money or coins and can get points can be collected to get some rewards and such.

I found in some shopping apps using slot machines and if lucky got a lot of points done every day as a routine task.

This has become an epidemic of gambling in various versions, although in countries that completely prohibit gambling,
game models such as gambling are often found not even getting any reprimand because it is not known or only the game model is the same.
