In Serbia, thousands of gambling and betting halls as well as various Online Casinos attract mainly young men who try their luck there. Especially in the provinces, many young people are affected by a lack of work and prospects. But the hope of making a quick buck often drives them into gambling addiction. Casino operators and dubious money lenders pocket the wins.

The small town of Šabac is located about 80 kilometers west of Belgrade. There are not many prospects for young people here: After graduating from school, most move away. But 26-year-old Miroslav has stayed. More than ten years ago, he started gambling as a minor. At times, he owed 20,000 euros to various moneylenders. Miroslav installed a surveillance camera next to his apartment door - for fear of violent bill collectors. Currently he is Debt-free, his family has helped him with great effort. For the first time in his life, he even has a steady job. According to his own statement, he would now be able to play in a controlled manner.
Nikola thought so, too. The 27-year-old dropped out of his mechanical engineering studies because of his gambling addiction. He relapsed several times and finally attempted suicide. He was helped at the "Institute for Mental Health," an addiction support facility in Belgrade. In the meantime, he continues his therapy on an outpatient basis. What annoys Nikola most is the omnipresent advertising for gambling, which he can hardly escape.
Just a few hundred meters from the addiction clinic is the headquarters of the betting and gambling Provider MOZZART, which claims to be the market leader in Southeastern Europe. The company presents itself as a company with a social conscience by building 100 sports fields in schoolyards throughout the country and opening them with great PR impact with big events and prominent athletes. This makes the company a household name even for schoolchildren.

Nice docu, will pull me completely pure. But what stands out: Merkur Slots are also available there and they have everything as before the regulations: no bookings and Roulette is offered. I find at least better than in Germany

Haha the advertising was cool, like a music video where pretty ladies dance and sing
That's advertising for the casino you do not even think lol
Thought here it is already bad but there is every 2 store ne arcade
Heftig

Merkur just poisons everyone, and this argument that there are fat people and you could not now close all bakeries
Is also the stupidest thing I have heard

Eckelhafter man, build basketball places on necks of addicts to then promote the youth and later gambling addicted to make
Maybe 1 out of 10,000 will become a professional and the rest will become addicted to gambling
This is the last

Was in the past yes all no problem because you could still win something.If you had used earlier clever promos such as coupons, freebets, no Deposit bonus, free spins, betting games, etc.you could not lose.For deposits, you also got something like free spins (which have also thrown something good in contrast to the nonsense today, no Max.Cashout) or free bets.Can hardly remember times more than 3,4 deposits to have lost before what came again.Today😒

I think it's just awesome DE overdoes it with the regulation and they do nothing to protect the people felt vill vill a country where the times well implements?

In the UK, the FS can only win a maximum of 500 then that's it, they also do only to protect the operators

We also once had the 1k max limit on the machine is now gone but now these collect breaks after 400 euros that's all just to protect operators also find that everything has nothing to do with player protection

Good question, but unfortunately I can not answer. For this I am the wrong

Intressante Doku, conveys the probably desired depressing feeling. It's a pity that the people with this hobby that should make eig. fun even more in the ruin are driven. The money lender job is there probably ne gold mine and as it sounds completely normal. Already bad.

And the boss of the gambling company so n right creep I find, which is simply times completely indifferent, what happens to the youth there. The main thing is that the dinar rolls.
