Another huge argument for the more vigilant regulation on online casinos is
blaring loudly after a twenty-five year-old in Scotland gambling away one
hundred and fifty eight thousand dollars in only fifty minutes with his parent's
credit cards. Richard Mahan went on to an online casino site in his wealthy
parent's home and began to play in the wee hours of the mourning. the total
amount of debt was put on his parent's thirteen credit cards, which he continued
to get further into debt until all of the cards were maxed-out.
the twenty-five year old went to the online casino William Hill and initially
won ninety thousand dollars, and instead of counting his blessings and pulling
out when the getting was good he push for more winnings, which is when his luck
turned violently against him and he began to desperately try to chase his loses,
which only got him deeper and deeper into debt. He then turned to the even more
desperate action of trying to commit suicide, the method by which is unknown.
After this catastrophic string of events was revealed to the young mans parents
they were then put in the position to make a very tough decision. the credit
card companies said that the only way they would activate their theft insurance
and cover the amount put of all of their cards they would need to report their
son to the authorities. To be honest, I don't think it is such a hard decision
after all given the clear argument that the young man is unstable and needs help
and a big lesson.
