If you and I sat next to each other. You with an online game in front of you and me with a few handles of vodka and we both started playing and drinking without stopping I would likely be dead before you reached Chinas mandated time limit. I thought it was obvious that the risks between these two things are very different.

You could use the same analogy for gambling, but I wouldn’t conclude the risk profile for gambling is safe.

It’s why it’s banned in most countries for people under the age of 18
