What tf is going on with gambling being absolutely everywhere all of a sudden?? I live in a state that has highly regulated via location, you have to be on tribal land, and I’ve always been really happy it’s not been a huge problem here but now it seems like gambling is like, a trend or a hobby now across the country? Not too long ago I had to sit my young adult kids down and be like I know you’re too old for me to tell you what to do but SERIOUSLY PLEASE do not get into gambling, especially online gambling and we talked about how addictive it is for some people and the concept of “the house always wins” it’s just yet another grift and they’d be taken advantage of. Why is this happening now though? Is it Trump? The billionaires? Did some law change and now this is legal? I don’t get it

Apparently it's not when the president's family has a stake in these companies.

Reminds me of the CSGO gambling scandal. I wonder if this lot will get off scot-free too.
