La crisis financiera y económica, con sus secuelas de desempleo, precariedad y aumento de las desigualdades, está siendo aprovechada como caldo de cultivo propicio para el florecimiento y la expansión de las casas de juegos de azar y apuestas deportivas, hasta el punto de convertir el Reino de España en una timba. Los juegos de azar representan el 2,3 por 100 del PIB, más de 23.000 millones de euros al año según el último informe del Ministerio de Hacienda (ejercicio de 2017). El subsector no ha dejado de crecer en el último lustro.
