Betting on phones has made betting too easy honestly. Before, you could think twice because you need to look for a betting shop or laptop that is not even readily available. But, now it takes just one tap to gamble. To me, that's a bit dangerous. What do you think?
 
I am not into betting but I sometimes play casino games. Phones are more convenient than a computer. Therefore, you end up betting or gambling more through your phone. Also, betting and gambling sites are available apps, thus making super easy to use them
 
There is a much more devastating effect on people society general..

Cell phones create a "heads-down" generation by offering constant access to apps that trigger the brain's reward system.
Developers use psychological tricks to keep people engaged, which causes addictions to things like endless scrolling, online shopping, and mobile gambling.

Phones make people lazy thinkers because they rely on devices to remember information or do basic math. This overreliance hurts the ability to focus

Here’s a couple articles I found very enlightening…

Read about how smartphones act like slot machines from the Robin Grebing video.

Explore physical and mental dependence in the National Institutes of Health study.

Check the Johns Hopkins Medicine guide on electronic device addiction
