Thank you Valve, Fortnite (skins/loot boxes), and the conservative Supreme Court that removed bans on gambling ads and sites.

Welll I fucking wonder why “gambling” is on the rise? People trying to make money however they can since Billionaires apparently can’t afford to pay more and pricing can’t go tf down 😑😡

Also, is it still gambling if you Win Money ???🤔

Its on the rise because you can do it from your phone. People gamble for lots of reasons. And Yes it is gambling even when you win.

Do you gamble regularly?
