For me, the immediate effect of excessive gambling is addiction, without a doubt it is, but it also brings other consequences that are harmful even to our health, that is why we are people who think that we have to do things right, excessive gambling can lead a person to even kill themselves when they can't get more money to gamble, because it is a set of emotions that are there on the surface and combining those emotions in a bad way with money is dangerous.
We must always preserve our integral and mental health, we cannot let ourselves be carried away by gambling.
