Some asylum seekers misusing payment cards for gambling

The news article reports that a significant number of asylum seekers in a European country have been misusing their government-issued payment cards for gambling purposes. According to the article, over 6,500 attempted payments in gambling establishments were made by asylum seekers within the past year. The article suggests that this behavior is problematic, as the payment cards are intended to provide financial assistance to asylum seekers, not for gambling activities. The government has expressed concern over this issue and is likely to take measures to address it, though specific details on the planned actions are not provided. The article presents this information in a relatively objective manner, without making strong judgments or drawing conclusions beyond the facts presented. It focuses on the key data point of the number of attempted gambling-related payments and the apparent misuse of the government-issued payment cards by asylum seekers.
