13-year-old Briton nearly lost a ton by gambling online

A 13-year-old from Lancashire has lost around £ 80,000 (converted over € 91,500) by gambling online.

The teenager started his expensive hobby after seeing commercials about online gambling. The boy became addicted and placed hundreds of hundreds of bets per week, writes The Mirror. He bet up to 3.000 pounds per game of chance.

In conversation with The Mirror, the boy says he has not known that gambling can work so addictively: 'It seemed nice to me and I would also make money with it. 'He continues:' It was far too easy to start with. I only had to fill in the details of my father and check that I am eighteen, it only took me a few seconds to register. '

The 13-year-old boy talked with psychotherapists to get rid of his addiction. Gambling almost tore apart his family, writes the British newspaper.
