It allows the gamblers to play many games at the same time without interruption. For many people, it is an enjoyable activity; and for others, it is addictive that provides few societal benefits, and drains resources from the society. Continuous iGambling activities lead to addiction that has serious side-effects, such as social isolation, financial hardships, and scholastic challenges among young people. In this study an attempt has been taken to discuss aspects of iGambling stressing on reduction of risk-factors and related harms.
