"We have often heard it said that giving up gambling is almost impossible. However, this is not entirely true for everyone. Although a difficult process, in recent years there has been an increasing trend of requests to leave this vice."
The data provided by Tv Klan show us that in the Gambling Supervision Authority for a period of almost two years, there were 556 requests to ban entry to the casino.
334 of them were made by the people themselves who became addicted to gambling as an attempt to get away from this vice, while the rest directly from family members. All requirements include the city of Tirana, where 5 licensed casinos operate.
Paola Gjika: People who come looking for help have been gambling, casino or online for many years. They want to change, because they have created a problem for their family members, because they have lost significant amounts of money, they want to create a new family.
People in the age group of 30-40 years mostly want to give up casino games, but those over 70 years old have not tried either. However, in recent years there are more and more young people who start playing, mainly online betting.
Henri Telharaj: There is an increase due to increased accessibility in technology. Practically we are on a difficult ground as we have the opportunity to play at any time. Individuals with addictions may feel pressured by constant advertising.
Faced with temptations, experts advise that the family members of these people be attentive and seek help from specialists as soon as possible./ TV Klan
