💸 In the US, the District of Columbia will stop funding the treatment of gambling addiction
➡️ In most US states, part of the taxes is spent on the treatment of gambling addiction in hardcore players. However, the District of Columbia, decided to cut this item of expenditure, officials simply crossed out the column from the budget for 2024. Every year, $200,000 was allocated here for the treatment of gambling addicts.
➡️ Experts believe that this could become an unpleasant precedent for other states, which will also stop funding the solution to the problem. Problems of ludomaniacs will become exclusively problems of ludomaniacs and their relatives.
At the same time, we have repeatedly written that in Europe countries act differently: they set a limit on losses and withdraw gray operators from the market.
