1 00:00:01,520 --> 00:00:04,960 Good afternoon, my name is Nagare and I'm in charge of the first rebuttal. 2 00:00:05,200 --> 00:00:07,419 You have good arguments, but we have some objections. 3 00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:11,960 First, you mentioned the mitigation of harm and the compulsive gambling state. 4 00:00:12,419 --> 00:00:14,060 How are you going to regulate gambling? 5 00:00:14,220 --> 00:00:20,719 Because it is impossible to regulate something at the point where we can stop its negative effects. 6 00:00:20,719 --> 00:00:41,119 Second, the government takes away a lot of money from online gambling, but this is not a fair way to raise money as you are worsening the health of the society in exchange just for obtaining benefits. 7 00:00:41,119 --> 00:00:50,119 And finally, you said that it will increase the taxes so the economy of Spain will decrease. We all agree on that. 8 00:00:50,119 --> 00:00:54,119 But the health of the society will also improve. 9 00:00:54,119 --> 00:00:59,119 Are you telling me that the economy is more important than the health? 10 00:00:59,119 --> 00:01:04,120 Now, let me remind you of our main arguments on why we stand for devotion. 11 00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:07,120 1. The increase in addiction to online gambling. 12 00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,120 Online gambling is one of the most addictive games. 13 00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:15,120 Due to its immediacy and accessibility, there has been a decrease in the average age of players. 14 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,120 Nowadays, there is an epidemic of addiction to online gambling among teenagers. 15 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,120 Betting through the internet has overcome physical gambling. 16 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:25,120 The amounts of money that are bet are also higher. 17 00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:32,120 Gambling is easier to do and will encourage lots of new people to place bets, so dramatically will multiply in harm. 18 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:46,120 As it is shown in this graphic, since online gambling has been legalized, it has increased the amount of money that is dedicated to online gambling. 19 00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:50,120 Since its legalization, much more people are involved in gambling. 20 00:01:50,120 --> 00:01:52,120 Due to these consequences rise too. 21 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:56,120 By making online gambling legal, we are worsening its effects on the population. 22 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,120 So we really legalize something that creates such addiction? 23 00:01:59,120 --> 00:02:02,120 2. The negative effects of online gambling 24 00:02:02,120 --> 00:02:05,120 The most underrated age group by online gambling are young people. 25 00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:10,120 They do not have the mental maturity to know how much money they can use or when to stop yet. 26 00:02:10,120 --> 00:02:13,120 Online gambling has caused negative consequences in three aspects. 27 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:17,120 On an economic level, debts are around 5,000 euros on average. 28 00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:21,120 This increases personal loans, microcredits through the internet, etc. 29 00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:27,120 The social consequences consist of social isolation, decreasing academic or labor efficiency, etc. 30 00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:29,120 And finally, personal consequences. 31 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:34,120 There's been an increase in depression, guiltiness and even suicide. 32 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:39,120 A bad state of physical and mental health, mainly due to the loss of your family and friends. 33 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,780 Keeping in mind these points, do you still think we should not ban online gambling? 34 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,280 And three, online gambling creates a poor society. 35 00:02:46,699 --> 00:02:48,719 There is a low probability to win a prize. 36 00:02:48,719 --> 00:02:55,520 The average of money used for bets is around 1,000 to 2,000 euros directly, which are often lost. 37 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:00,479 In addition, betting stocks have created algorithms and different strategies to catch more players, 38 00:03:00,639 --> 00:03:02,879 making them lose money, which goes to the stock. 39 00:03:03,319 --> 00:03:06,900 Online gambling is only hurting people as they are losing money and developing debts. 40 00:03:06,900 --> 00:03:12,900 On the other hand, this would be good for the government, but do you think this is a fair way to raise money? 41 00:03:12,900 --> 00:03:16,900 Clearly not. The rate of mental health decreases, and the economy of gamblers too. 42 00:03:16,900 --> 00:03:21,900 It is immoral for the state or charities to raise money by exploding people's greed. 43 00:03:21,900 --> 00:03:27,900 In addition, only gambling may bring jobs to more people, but do you think it is the best way to help unemployment? 44 00:03:27,900 --> 00:03:34,900 How can a game that makes its participants suffer from mental illnesses, poor economy, just to benefit itself, should not be banned? 45 00:03:34,900 --> 00:03:35,900 Thank you.
