00:00:00,050 --> 00:00:11,050
What goods are fortunes that turn in with her weight hastily, which cannot be won, nor be stable, nor remain in one thing?

2
00:00:11,050 --> 00:00:21,050
Those verses in Porfio Manrique's Ninth Caplet that he wrote about Fortuna Mutilable, which shows how ephemeral the fortune is.

3
00:00:21,050 --> 00:00:27,289
Hello, my name is Leire and together with my teammates we will be standing for the motion

4
00:00:27,289 --> 00:00:30,289
should online gambling be banned in Spain.

5
00:00:30,289 --> 00:00:35,289
The keyword is online gambling, which is any kind of gambling conducted on the internet

6
00:00:35,289 --> 00:00:40,289
including virtual poker, casinos and sports betting.

7
00:00:40,289 --> 00:00:46,289
Because as my team and I will be showing through this debate with our two main points, the

8
00:00:46,289 --> 00:00:49,289
creation of addition and its lack of security.

9
00:00:49,289 --> 00:01:02,289
First, the creation of addiction. Each time more people are able to play, we gain a vicious cycle of needing to keep online gambling despite the harms it causes, being one of the most difficult addictions to quit.

10
00:01:02,289 --> 00:01:11,290
The harm can result in social problems such as isolation and depression, and financial problems.

11
00:01:11,290 --> 00:01:22,290
It can lead to an unhealthy lifestyle, including lack of personal care, malnourishment and lack of personal interaction.

12
00:01:22,290 --> 00:01:27,290
Ending up ruining entire families, in many cases even leading to suicide.

13
00:01:27,290 --> 00:01:36,290
This is because they end up betting not only their money, as they eventually run out of it, but they also bet their relatives.

14
00:01:36,290 --> 00:01:44,290
This, as they spend so much time, they end up isolating themselves, sometimes avoiding work.

15
00:01:44,290 --> 00:01:47,290
Secondly, it's lack of security.

16
00:01:47,290 --> 00:01:53,290
Online gambling is really accessible because of the availability of the internet.

17
00:01:53,290 --> 00:01:57,290
This makes it accessible for everyone, including minors.

18
00:01:57,290 --> 00:02:02,290
Minors gamble as an alternative to earn money.

19
00:02:02,290 --> 00:02:10,289
Letting scams happen easily, putting our privacy at risk, online and apps calculate their odds

20
00:02:10,289 --> 00:02:13,289
so that they are always making a huge profit.

21
00:02:13,289 --> 00:02:20,289
Taking advantage of every single player thanks to the lack of regulations or at least their non-effectiveness.

22
00:02:20,289 --> 00:02:31,289
Meanwhile, in casinos and other residential betting places, the government is able to control the circumstances of the bets, preventing minors from participating.

23
00:02:31,289 --> 00:02:45,590
So, the question, should online gambling be banned in Spain? Our answer is yes, definitely. Online gambling should be banned because, as we've clearly proven, it's highly addictive and it's lacking security.

24
00:02:45,590 --> 00:03:02,590
Online gambling may not be seen as hard at first sight, but in the long term, it may be perjudicial, reflecting how quickly awards can be lost with fortuna mutabile in 9-4-3 market gambling.

25
00:03:02,590 --> 00:03:05,590
Thank you for your time.
