Are there “secondhand” effects to gambling?

279 views

Secondhand smoke, for example, has known damaging effects to the body. This makes me wonder what about watching streamers gamble? All those slots are super professionally designed to be fast-paced, exciting, and addicting. So would this kind of “secondhand” gambling increase risk of addiction, decrease attention span since slots are so fast paced, and have other negative effects?

I think the stress has gotten to my body multiple times. I can feel the stress throughout my body and it’s not good. Also the dopamine highs and lows can’t be good for it.

The other one is time away from my family. Instead of family movie nights now I’m watching some random game I’d never have watched before.

Betting has paid for some improvements around my house but I truly believe that my well-being has paid a price as well.
