Yeah, tech has really fucked up the whole gambling ecosystem in the US in a way that is going to have ugly consequences in the not too distant future. It use to be that to gamble legally, you had to travel in remote places (native territory, Atlantic City, Las Vegas.) In the last five years RobinHood, FanDuel and the like have totally steamrolled over all the regulations and safeguards. It's on demand, 24/7 wherever you are, on any day of the week. They'll even let you trade on margin. In ten years this is going to be bad, like a social problem on par with drug addiction to opiates.
