Never understood how people can spend vast amounts of money on it! Each to our own i suppose just dont get it?

What a waste of human efforts and country, if not planet, resources!

Lot of money in marketing gambling for kids.

New companies in natural (unobtrusive) programmatic in game advertising are shooting up in value. Bidstack for example, UK company up nearly 14% just today. They are first to market in a multi billion dollar industry. Expansion opportunities are almost limitless bids
