"There are more and more people with the game and they're getting younger."

  • In Navarra the Aralar Association supports those who have problems with the game. It serves about 100 people a year: they welcome children and their families in a solution work. They develop biannual programs through psychologists. The professional of the Saioa Ieregi Association comments on the difficulty of having control over the game in different areas: "In bars there are waiters in the care of the game machinery. It is difficult to control the age of players, for example," he explains.

"There are more and more young people with pathological gambling," says Euskalerria Irratia Saioa Ieregi, a psychologist at Aralar. Today is Spain's Lottery Day [December 22]. It is a socially rooted and accepted game and for many a difficult day: for paedopasts. Governments have some limitations on gambling that often fall short. Minors cannot bet on law but Ieregi believes it is difficult to control it in some areas: "Gaming machines in bars are inspected only by the server." Wagering houses are many in the streets of the neighborhoods and urban centers, as well as play areas. "People start wagering with little money. But less to more, without noticing," he said.

Prevention can also be an effective way to fight pathological gambling: "Special programs could have been worked in the centers to draw attention to adolescents," he says. The game is very attractive to anyone: "All areas related to the game are positive. They only show us the advantages. With today (December 22) everything is laughter and joy around the Spanish Lottery. No one warns that there may be danger," he explains.
