In this article, the authors explain how loss chasing affects gambling which is

simply the "high" one receives from losing bets and the urge to continue to play

and spend more and more money to break even. The authors include Zhang Chen,

Roos Arwen Doekemeijer, Xavier Noël and Frederick Verbruggen. Zhang Chen

and Doekemeijeris are journalists, Verbruggen is known for his studies in

cognitive science, neuroscience, and cognitive psychology. He graduated from

Ghent University and Noël has a PHD in psychology. The targeted audience of

this article are adults because it goes in depth about the science of gambling and

how the casinos hook people in so adults that have or are thinking about doing it

is the targeted audience. The article can support the claim that online gambling is

worse for compulsive gamblers because a person can gain a high from merely

losing and trying to break even. This article was published in August of 2022 so

the information is relevant to the current time.

The article is written by Thomas E. McClusky who is the vice president for

government affairs for the Family Research Council. Additionally the article was

published by Gale in the series "Opposing viewpoints", a reliable database for

different viewpoints on all kinds of topics. The article talks about why the

government is right to ban online gambling. McClusky brings up points such as

the overwhelming support for the ban by the people, its addictiveness and its

effect on the gamblers and their families. The evidence in the article can be used

in a rebuttal supporting just how widespread the addictiveness of gambling really

is.

This article shows that the socially underprivileged people such as children and

adolescents are the main target groups for Internet gambling. This is argued by

Julia Hörnle, who is a professor of internet law and studies commercial law at

Queen Mary University of London. Internet gambling advertisements consistently

and repeatedly appear more often to people such as those who have lost their jobs,

or to adolescents who use the Internet a lot because the techs from big companies

such as google and facebook's program to recommend the advertisement helps to

give access to internet gambling. This article can be used as rebuttal to the

counterclaim that adolescents are protected from gambling ads.

The article shows that there are several ways to protect oneself and gambling, so

that people can make sure that they don't fall for the gambling trap. There is no

specific author who wrote this document. However, the one who wrote this article

is a member of IGC, which is an international nonprofit organization that deals

with issues within the interactive gambling industry explains why the author is

qualified to talk about online gambling. Some companies are making money

through online gambling and trying to keep young people and the socially

disadvantaged away from gambling. This can be used as a counter claim to the

claim that online gambling is bad for adolescents.

Gambling" in CEI on Point, 2009.

The article explains that gambling is safe because it can check for frauds, scams,

and that it is legal. It is trying to argue that it is safe, and that teenagers can

gamble without breaking the law, and that there is no way to cheat the system.

This doesn't explain how the app itself can steal information to make money

though. It is written by Michelle Minton, a policy analyst. This can be used as a

counter claim to the claim that online gambling is dangerous for adolescents.

gambling, specifically online sports betting apps. The author of the article is

Rebecca R. Ruiz, an investigative reporter at the New York Times. She talked

about how she originally had no interest in sports but after trying out betting apps

as an experiment, it got her hooked. In other words it made the "uninteresting"

sports interesting to her. This article can be used to support the claim that online

gambling is extremely addicting.

This article shows that gambling companies have access to personal information

about someone. The author, Adam Satariano, is a Technology Correspondent for

the New York Times. In other words he is a journalist for technology which is

why he's qualified to talk about online gambling. Any interested gamblers should

be wary that the app has the power to steal their personal information to sell. An

old user has evidence that the app Sky Bet had information about his location, his

habits, and his gambling routines, which should be outlawed because it invades

personal privacy.
