The Universitat Jaume I of Castelló has hosted today the conference organised by Patim and the Socidrogalcohol scientific society in which the problem of addictions in the Internet age has been addressed, placing the focus on betting and online gambling.  
  
Gambling in Spain accounts for 45,000 million euros annually, 3.1% of GDP. Lotteries and bingos are stable, casinos rise by 7% and bets by 18.8%. According to the Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (2015), between 3.5% and 6.3% of the people who play, are at risk of suffering from a pathology throughout their lives, that is, between 1.6 and 2.9 million people in Spain.

According to the Carlos III University's perception of the game report, around 230,000 people under the age of 35 present a "high risk" of addiction in Spain, and young people start this activity earlier and earlier. In the last two years, the game has become the second cause for which people treated by Patim demand treatment and shortens the distances with respect to cocaine cases. In 2017 they represent 26% of the total. «The game is becoming the most important addiction of the 21st century, assuming the protagonism that once had heroin, then cocaine, and later both alcohol and cannabis, we can say that there is a fourth wave when we refer to to the game and to the addictions », warns the president of Patim, Francisco López y Segarra.
