Online gambling attracts more and more players, but some are struggling to control their passion for this hobby. Also, game addiction affects an increasing number of people. In Australia, an original initiative allows game lovers to detoxify themselves in libraries.
At a time when social observatories in many countries have a clear increase in the number of "excessive players", many states take this problem with their body. In USA, for example, this public health problem is taken very seriously and the State devotes a substantial budget to the prevention of these addictions. The arjel prohibits Online casino games But authorizes online sports betting, which are no less addictive, Online poker, which is no less dangerous than roulette (unless it is Russian) and finally the PMU which is a real butcher where horses are subject to the worst sufferings to increase their profitability before ending up at the slaughterhouse ... Horse races are a real hellish industry that has nothing to do with the love of horses, it is the love of the money only reigns. In short, Hypocrisy of the Arjel who has nothing to do with the addiction to the Games as long as she controls the income ...
Read to fight addiction and loneliness
In Australia, if prevention exists, many actions are also implemented to try to "detox" players. For a few weeks, the
One of them also talks a lot on the internet as it is original. Indeed, called "Libraries After Dark", this operation takes place in several municipalities in Australia, namely Preston, Mill Park, Glenroy and Broadmeadows and more particularly in the libraries of these cities. The choice of these very specific places is anything but a coincidence since it is linked to the fact that the participating libraries are near the casinos. A subsidy of $ 300,000 has enabled this program to see the light of day and the height is that this funding comes from income taxation! It is in any case a much better preventive and curative method than the American hand on online games.
Treat addiction to games in libraries, a funny idea?
With the "Libraries After Dark" program, it is really an original operation that is offered to those addicted to slot or poker machines. However, the idea is not to deprive them to play but rather to show them that it is possible to occupy their evenings differently. Thus, if the libraries of several Australian municipalities open their doors until 10 p.m. each month since the end of 2017, it is precisely to offer lovers of casino games other activities ... and not necessarily the Reading as the selected place might suggest.
As part of the program, the libraries are transformed into an evening sometimes into cinema where film projections take place, sometimes in huge games room where it is possible to come and participate in sets of trays or role -playing games and sometimes in the kitchen in which workshops accessible to beginners take place. In other words, to counter the devouring passion of certain players for slot machines and poker, the idea is to offer an alternative to break with loneliness. This is how the idea of "making the libraries alive" alive ".
Since its launch, the program has continued to attract more players who realize that the only real winner in game establishments is the game establishment itself. Obviously, this does not prevent them from going to play casino from time to time, but they still manage to better control their expenses. They are no longer compulsive players and become simple players again.
The goal of "After Dark Libraries" is therefore achieved. The success of this program is such that new activities regularly add to those already offered. Recently, it is so -called sewing learning and sewing learning lessons in Australian libraries.
