Some gamblers will inevitably run out of money and resort to crime.

Maybe, surely mostly white collar crime though because of the numbers involved?

Nobody trusts junkies with $100 so it makes sense that shoplifting or burglary can get them the money they need, but a lot of people who have a gambling problem are six figures down, stealing a neighbour's PS5 is a drop in the bucket.
