Some people are very susceptible to variable reward schemes and it causes addictive behavior, especially people high in impulsivity, sensation-seeking, or reward sensitivity.
Hey, its me. Some people. I spend so much time looking for games that let me get that gambling psychology fix without allowing me to actually bet anything of value on them. Ranked ladders in games are peak, because the rank is meaningless but my stupid brain thinks its worth something so it feels like real gambling to win or lose it
I have watched more than one friend flush his family/savings down the shitter on these apps.
I don’t get gambling, worst I ever did was a few trips to Vegas and betting on the ponies that bot count on one hand.
I put two dollars into a poker machine once. I won $7.
Now I’m up by $5 so long as I never gamble again. Don’t want to break my streak.
