   “Gambling company leans into its target demographic”

   I worked with a state lottery that did similar things. Their target demographic was the “every day players” that would compulsively buy at the gas station.

   I quit that job because it seems to be morally wrong.

   Betting apps are just this taken to the extreme, I feel for people with this addiction but it’s not going away anytime soon.

      This was my takeaway as well. Is anyone surprised at this outcome?
