In Iraq, teenagers massively use Ludo King mobile game for iGaming activities

In Iraq, parents are recording an increase in cases of teenagers spend money for gambling in the mobile game «Ludo King» through private rooms. Haidar al-Shammari, 17, told Shafaq News that he spent $4,800 in game rooms with entry for $17-34 that open after midnight. Some players bet up to $100 in a single game. A 14-year-old girl from Baghdad stole money from her mother to replenish her gaming balance.
