It’s not the betting, it’s the business machine that delivers the betting. This looks the same for any business that makes most of its money only through exploiting some human vulnerability whether it’s social media; shorts, gambling, nicotine, alcohol. Legislation needs to target the industrialization of the delivery not the act itself.
I think perhaps removing this from mobile devices would address some of the problem. Increasing effort required to participate (when someone might already want to quit) seems like it might work. It could be opt-in: “disallow gambling apps from my phone” setting that takes 10 days to unset.
