It includes online casinos, poker rooms and sports betting platforms but does not include Video Lottery Terminals (VLT).<\/p>\n<p>The growth of the iGaming industry has been fuelled by cultural approval, legalization, easy access, celebrity endorsements and marketing initiatives. Nevertheless, online gambling has also been linked to negative consequences such as financial loss, social and family disruption, impaired work or school performance, and health problems including insomnia, high blood pressure and anxiety. In addition, some individuals have engaged in illegal activities to fund their gambling habits, which can lead to criminal charges and fines.<\/p>\n<p>Early risk indicators are not well understood, and the emergence of problem gambling in online gaming is complex.
