According to &#8220;The Gambling Atlas,&#8221; which draws on data compiled in 2021, 30% of German adults gamble. The figure represents a reduction on the 55% calculated in 2007, but the report nevertheless found that 7.7% of adults suffer financial, social or health problems associated with addition.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Gambling rarely makes participants happy,&#8221; said Commissioner Blienert on Monday, presenting the report in Berlin. &#8220;Gambling is a disease,&#8221; added Christina Rummel of the German Center for Addiction Issues (DHS).<\/p>\n<p>The report, published jointly by the Institute for Interdisciplinary Addiction and Drug Research in Hamburg, the German Centre for Addiction Issues in Hamm and the Gambling Research Department at the University of Bremen, provides a general overview of the state of gambling in Germany. It identified men and young adults aged 21 to 35 as particularly susceptible to gambling problems, as well as people with psychological disorders and high levels of alcohol consumption.<\/p>\n<p>The report defines gambling addiction as &#8220;excessive and destructive participation&#8221; in gambling during which gamblers suffer a loss of control, gamble more and more money, lie to conceal their addiction and become isolated from their social circles.<\/p>\n<p>People with migratory backgrounds are also at particular risk, according to the report, with gambling expert Tobias Hayer telling Germany&#8217;s Catholic News Agency (KNA) that gambling can become a form of self-medication for migrants who have suffered trauma, or who find themselves marginalized from society and struggling financially. The COVID-19 pandemic also provided fertile ground for gambling addiction as vulnerable people found themselves alone and under financial pressure.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dw.com\/en\/germany-46-million-adults-addicted-to-gambling-or-at-risk\/a-67387841\">DW<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vau-viikkokatsaus\/germany-4-6-million-adults-addicted-to-gambling-or-at-risk\/\">Germany: 4.6 million adults addicted to gambling or at risk<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[12247,6375,12248,1038,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-118735","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-addict","tag-adult","tag-gambling","tag-germany","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118735","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=118735"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/118735\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=118735"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=118735"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=118735"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
