Bosnia: Gambling addiction on the rise | Focus on Europe

[@Zelea-nj3pz]

Not only Bosnia. All Balkan countries have these issues. There are betting shops every 10 metres or so.

[@invader7191]

Not in Albania, they removed all those casinos 10 years ago.

[@Bk6346]

Why do governments approve these casinos and gambling? Any tax revenues is offset by people losing huge amounts of money and ruining their lives. Gambling should only be done in moderation but there are always some people with no control.

[@donlckwsk]

Not only in Balkans, Baltics also have that problem.

It’s addictive by nature, lie crack or heroin. All over the world. I’m in UK. The casinos are similar to drug dealer criminals

While living as a kid in a small town in Bosnia I used to bet on football all the time as a lot of my friends did. After leaving for college made a clean cut and never bet again. Years later, now living in Serbia, sport bet cafes are EVERYWHERE, ads running all the time, very aggresive marketing. People live from day to day, searching for an escape and easy fix and they are being exploited for that to the fullest extent. Sad and hopeless.

I worked as an online gambling site telemarketer in indonesia. Essentially, i spammed whatsapp messages on random numbers. I had to get 10 gamblers per day, if I don't reach that quota, i wouldn't get paid. I had to spend many days working overtime. The working environment itself is absolutely heartbreaking. Every hour, someone berates me because they lost so much money. One that sticks with me is this old man crying on the telephone saying that he doesn't have anything to feed his family and asked me for refund. It goes without saying i only lasted 1 month there.

This is unfortunately also a situation in Serbia. On every corner you see at least one betting shop,if not more. They are advertising aggressively,ads for them are everywhere,radio,online,TV,billboards etc. Many football and basketball clubs add a betting shop name on their name as a sponsor,even sport leagues have betting shop names in their names. I think they should restrict how many of them can operate to a very low number and increase awareness. Thats the least they can do,its just insane that this is still allowed to this extent

This is a perfect material reflection of our mindset - the infamous 'eh, nothing will ever change anyway, so why even bother trying'. In the meanwhile, we lost 20% of our adult popultion, mostly skilled and educated people in their prime that went to Germany, Ireland, Austria, Switzerland, Sweden and Canada... Since the bloody collapse of Yugosavia, societies of newly independent states have been drowning in corruption, economic crysis, moral decay and an overall sense of nothingness.
