Gambling seems to me like one of the most destructive addictions out there. If you have money you can pretty much consume as much drugs as you want and still have money. Gambling is the one addiction that scales with your income and can leave pretty much anyone homeless no matter where you start from. It's terrible

Depends on the state/law. Also from the blog

It can get worse. New York’s proposed Senate Bill S8102A requires adults to prove they’re adults to use a computer, exercise bike, smart watch, or car if the device is internet enabled with app ecosystems. The bill explicitly forbids self-reporting and leaves the allowed methods to regulations written by the Attorney General. Practical methods for a bill of such extreme breadth would require, in many instances, providing private information to a third-party just to use a computer at all. Privacy disappears.
