Online Lending as a Lifestyle and its Implications for Consumerism in Society

Abstract

This research discusses the phenomenon of online slot gambling and its impact on society, especially in terms of social and economic aspects. Advances in digital technology and easy internet access have increased the popularity of online gambling, although it has had a significant negative impact. Economic factors such as financial stress encourage individuals to gamble as a quick solution, while game design, such as the auto-play feature, increases the risk of addiction. The social impacts include family conflicts, mental health problems, and decreased productivity. In Indonesia, ease of access and weak law enforcement exacerbate the problem of online gambling. This research highlights the importance of a holistic approach, involving public education, stricter regulations, and collaboration between stakeholders. The results of the study also recommend community-based prevention programs and advanced research to understand the dynamics of online gambling more comprehensively.
