There are tons of writing opportunities for online casino and erotica sites, but does a writer want to touch those topics? There is nothing wrong with the topics, it just depends on your audience.
Yes, people end up in trouble from over gambling or aggressive dataing. That doesn't mean that playing games for entertainment or dating a stranger is wrong. The online gambling sites do not necessarily require money, there are free ones.
This is one of those 'human condition' situations that can add reality to a book. Does the bad guy have a gambling problem? Does the heroine divorce her husband for gambling?
There are so many good situations that writers do not use in their books. What would the heroine do if her partner tried to force her into a fetish situation she could not handle. OR, maybe a secondary character lost their house because of gambling.
The novel writing industry asks you to write 'what you know' but in most cases, writers stick to the same-ol-same-ol, missing the opportunity to write something that truly stands out in the slush pile.
