However, some people lose control over their gambling behaviour for various reasons: gambling becomes a serious problem for them and can have severe social and economic consequences.

Of this gross gaming revenue (stakes minus winnings), the casinos of Lower Saxony transfer approximately 70 per cent to the state budget for their casinos. The remainder is used to run the gaming operations, e.g. for salaries, investments and rent.

It becomes a problem as soon as gambling appears to be no longer controllable or no longer in line with a person&#8217;s values and goals.
