This post was inspired by a thread I saw on the social media platform X which says that betting companies are not your friend (https://x.com/AjeboDanny/status/1957022266295832907?t=P3C9zLRRcxjB_aEf368Lbg&s=19), their apps are designed to keep you broke and addiected". Well that's his opinion but left for me I don't support that statement cause those companies are not illegal, and they don't force customers to patronize them, moreover if they want you broke they won't advise you to gamble responsibly. Also, gambling is a game of luck and if every gambler acknowledge that and avoid being too greedy, then gamble in a responsible way, I don't think they'll go broke or get addicted. What's your opinion, do you support his statement?

Gambling companies don't even know which gamblers are addicted; addicted gamblers are targets of the company. I think there would have been so many bonuses for them or an easy win for them sometimes that can be used as a trap to make them more interested in gambling.

At least gambling companies give awareness to gamblers to gamble responsibly, and they don't pressure or ask anyone to gamble more, but gamblers choose to play more to win against the house. Gamblers are responsible for how they approach gambling, and they are also responsible for their urges because this happens as a result of uncontrollable impulses and a lack of understanding and discipline to stick to their limits. Gambling companies want you to play responsibly and not to be addicted gamblers.

I will like to say in others words the betting companies are truly not yours friend or your enemies too, i just think i will like to raise a vaild concern about the potential risks associated with online betting, while betting companies operate within legal framework and promote responsible gambling, their business model is designed to encourage continued engagement, many betting companies include responsible gambling message and tools such as deposit limits and self exclusion options.

Gambling wasn't designed to favour the gambler it was designed to make the gambling companies richer but that being said it is not true that betting companies wants you addicted rather it is your greed and lack of self control that tend to make you addicted. A responsible gambler can't be betting while he's losing money it is only a greedy addicted gambler that will never stop gambling until he's broke and left with nothing. Gamble with are budgeted amount by doing so you have nothing to fear.

What I know is that gambling sites will like people to put more money on their account on the gambling site so that the gambling site can make money from their customers. Every business likes money as they want to grow.

Be it gambling sites like someone to get addicted or not, they officially do not like it. They have guides and articles for people that are getting addicted. The gambling sites also have self-exclusion.

It’s not that they have bad intentions for you but they just want to make profit. It’s not about being illegal or what but if something affects you negatively but gives them profit then it will be fine for them and they usually wouldn’t care because like I said they just care about the profits.

You don’t agree with the poster you shared his tweet from X, but he’s not far from the truth; he just presented it in a way that made you disagree with him. If not in reality, we all know that the system was built for the casino business to flourish and not for the player to get rich.

They are the ones who are doing business, which means by nature it’s designed for profit generation for them. No one forces anybody to gamble; it’s a voluntary action. But still, we should admit to the fact that we are out there to lose more than we can possibly win unless luck is on our side.

Despite the fact that gambling is a game of luck, I agree with this statement that gambling websites are not wishing the gamblers well, they always wants their money despite the opportunities of making money in their platforms because they know that you can’t just win small and go, you will definitely aim of winning big, and they will get their money back from you that is why they do come with several tricks to get your attention and encourage you to bet more.

Why do you think that gambling platforms didn’t just go down? And the rate at which new gambling platforms are coming is becoming high? It is because they are making huge amount of money from gambling and people are going to gambling everyday with the purpose of making money too.

Casinos will make more money when players are addicted, so it is very possible that there are casinos that want you addicted, but it is not a general attitude of casinos towards gamblers.

There are casinos that offer customers exclusion programs and really enforce them to help them keep their gambling habit under control. It is good to identify these casinos as a gambler and play there.

Even though it's written on some platforms that gamblers should learn to gambler responsibly this doesnt mean that they want. It's just like companies that produce things that are harmful to the health but if people stop being responsible they might be making so much money again. They want you addicted so that they can make profit, it's as simple as that. If everyone was a responsible gambler these companies wouldnt make much money

They want us spending money on their casinos, and their promotions, features, etc... are designed to attract gamblers and to keep you gambling on their casino for as long as they can, so maybe yeah, they want us addicted, but to be honest, I don't think it matters to them whether we get addicted or not, all they want is for gamblers to spend money on their casinos.

From your statement, it shows to me you ain't mature enough to know the dark side of every industry, no industry is friendly at the back door but pretend to care about her users but deep down, it's dark out there.
It's far more beyond what you may be thinking, far more beyond human understanding how it works.

Many industry uses dark magic to create an app that attracts the attention of users with wrong agenda while placing the statement on every public ads "Gamble responsibly" to look as if they care. Nah

It's very deep.

I get it that betting companies want to be successful on the type of business they have, but that won’t justify that they want gambling addiction to develop on their users/gamblers. All they need are continued patronage on their business, but not that it will reach into addiction level.

In fact, they have terms and agreements prior to gambling, so if you think you don’t agree with their conditions, you’re actually free to leave their site or even discontinued gambling for good.

Of course, a gambling company wants more and more users to be addicted, especially if you look at their business plan, you can understand that they are always introducing new bonuses to attract new gamblers, and they are so clever in creating advertisements that new gamblers can be attracted.
However, gambling establishments are continuing their business and they will be as strategic as they should be to continue their business. In this case, they can bring any variation to continue the business strategy and if new gamblers are attracted to it, then there should be no pressure on the gambling establishment because they are running a licensed business establishment.

It is not that they want you to be addicted, but as much as possible, they are here for business, and so they want their players to play as much as they can. Because the more they play, it means, the more income they have. This is business, and let's accept the fact that they would want to generate income from gamblers. Do remember, the control is still with the gambler himself, so it is up to you if you will be weak in front of your gambling habit or not. They are just offering games and what you will do with it is still up to you.

Betting sites are not saying that you are attracted to gambling, but rather that they are doing what is necessary to continue their business. The authorities are not responsible if any gambler is attracted to this. Before you create a gambling account, you must read the terms and conditions and among the terms they mention that if you are under 18, then stay away from gambling. But everyone knows that gambling is risky and if someone is attracted to gambling despite knowing it, then of course the gambling institution is not responsible.

True, casinos do not force anyone to gamble or use their service, every action is dependent on the gambler. But in actual sense they're are using reverse psychology to get your attention because  they understand humans strong willpower to make money so they presence tempting offers knowing that majority of the mass will fall for it. And the funny part is they also try to play the part of an angel by advising gambkers to gamble responsibly, but you and I know the only way they make more and more money from same gambler is when they get addicted. If they are so concerned about gamblers not getting addicted or gambling responsibly why not set up a scheme to help the gambler make responsibly choices. But No! They won't do that because  they're beneficiaries of addicted gamblers. The truth may not be something we'll all applaud at because it's not always as lighthearted as we expect it to be.

In the case of the betting companies we cannot presume that they are all evil or out to screw us. Such companies are definitely lawful entities and offer choices to the interested individuals. Nevertheless, one should not ignore the fact that gambling has its dark aspect, i.e., addiction, which can happen in the course of time.

We should now take more responsibility of creating balance. We can utilize the option of responsible gambling features provided by the companies yet the last call is on us. Provided that we are in control of ourselves, we can prevent any major losses. Conversely, these firms continue to benefit the people who lack selfcontrol.

Not every gambling company wants you to be addicted but there are many that wants this and they'll do everything possible to make it happen as they stand to benefit more when you're addicted because you'll be patronising them more. There's no way you can identify the caisnos that doesn't want the best for you but you can control how you're gambling to avoid becoming a victim to their advertisement. All caisnos wants to make the best profit hence they'll always have contest to attract more gamblers but you can prevent getting addicted by knowing your limit and not allowing the promotions from the caisnos to tempt you into gambling more than you should be doing.

Wow, very interesting, anyways since you're more matured enough, I'll need you to throw more light on your statement, especially the part you said that "many industries uses dark magic to create an app that attracts the attention of users" I suspect you must be a high ranking journalist or some spy to know such information, are you trying to say that gambling apps are built on dark magic? If yes what prove do you got on that statement, I'm just very curious and would love to know more mate, so I don't know if you'll mind sharing, we learn everyday afterall.

His words seem to sound like someone with a gambling problem, so he is trying to blame the gambling establishments. Well, I think he is wrong, because casinos and gambling establishments are essentially entertainment venues, and some even offer useful features for users to maintain control while gambling, such as self-exclusion, gambling limits, deposit limits, and so on. On the user's side, if a user becomes addicted, it is their own fault for not being able to control themselves. They should have realized this when they first started gambling, as casinos typically provide notices and warnings to their users.

So, we can conclude that this person's statement is wrong. Essentially, anything we do excessively is wrong, especially for a gambler who bets excessively. Therefore, be wise in making decisions, think before acting, and you will feel safe while doing so.

Gambling or betting companies are just like any other business or companies which are established in order to also make profits from their services rendered and for them to make this profit, people or individuals must patronize them. So, for the betting companies, I don’t think they had anything in mind before they start their operations other than also wanting to maximize their profit and also wanting people to patronize them. It’s solely at the gamblers expense to get addicted to gambling or not, I don’t think it has anything to do with the betting company even though they are happy seeing people patronizing their sites, they don’t have any business about intentionally wanting any individual broke by gambling or patronizing their company as a matter of fact gambling is a 50-50 chance of you winning or losing. And you could see from some of the betting companies with an inscription that reads “bet responsibly “. So they don’t pray to get you broke rather they also want you to make some money when you win a bet so that you will come back again to bet next time and continue to patronize them and make their sites popular.

I like this reply on the X handle link you shared.

Gambling gambling doesn't have anything to do with a gambler being an addict or not. In fact they don't know a single gambler becoming an addict. They are there to make money through the house edge and require every gambler's money. So it is up to the gambler to over gamble or not, it is up to the gambler not the gambling firm because the slot machine and other games are ready to play your game with you at anytime. Like the league are starting up, casinos just know that more activities of gambling are going to be coming from the football angle. Gambling responsibly is what a gambler should imbibe, it is not the business of the gambling company to know how you gamble.

This is an article two/three years back requiring for disclaimer from gambling companies on gambling responsibly to be added to their ads  (https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/gamble-responsibly-message-ditched-from-betting-ads-20221101-p5buqg.html).I think that is what a gambler needs to know, just like the ads and warning from cigarette companies on smoking that "smokers are liable to die young".

Gambling companies only provide games for entertainment, but many people are addicted to this because it is their own fault, so this is the fault of each individual who does it unreasonably (beyond their abilities).

Gambling companies do not force visitors to continue playing and become addicted, they develop their companies in a reasonable business manner, market them and take care of everything well. Although perhaps many companies do not warn their players to play appropriately and moderately, this is more about the awareness of each individual who must understand what he is doing.

I think bookmakers are more interested in attracting new bettors than in cultivating gambling addiction among their clients. If this were not the case, there would be no widespread advertising of bookmakers. Of course, a certain proportion of bettors inevitably become addicted, just as some casino gamblers are addicted to gambling. This is an inevitable effect. But to claim that this is being done purposefully is nothing more than the personal opinion of the author of this tweet. It looks more like the author of the tweet has lost heavily and is now blaming the bookmakers for his failure.

The more people who become addicted, the greater the profits are earned by the company. We have seen many kinds of promotions carried out, even to the point where people within the company offer everyone to use their site. Instead of promising a bigger winning percentage for new users, this certainly invites people to get addicted and makes its users addicted to continue gambling. They will not care if their users become very addicted; the most important thing is that the company earns huge profits from the many people who are addicted to continue playing in it.

I can't be pretty sure that the betting companies we desire such terrible experience for their customers because  most times our greed and constant chasing of lost couldn't let us know our boundaries and limits which in most cases lead us to addiction.

Most of the Gambling companies you see today are all operating legally with government approval, and rarely you see any of this gambling sites operating without a strike warning that says "gamble responsibly", this alone has sent a strong message across so it is now left for you as an individual to  measured how you go about your gambling activities so it wouldn't leads to addiction, because if it does no body really cares rather you will be used as a means of generating more income for their self.

Imho for betting companies its better to have stable amount of new clients, than they would milk old aka addicted clients. Because one day those addicted would run out of money, but new clients will bring more and more money. Its a lot and now vs little but forever kind of thing. If casinos were creating only addicted people, that would be noticed and minor problem (like its now) will turn into disaster. Such things will be not be lft unnoticed by government and they would interfere. It will be more strict rules, more strict kyc. Casinos would not want that.

If they do, we can’t really condemn them. Casinos will always design things to be addictive because that’s how they attract gamblers.. their main goal is profitability, and they’ll do anything to achieve that as long as it’s not against the law.

Addiction isn’t really caused by the casinos themselves, it’s caused by people who aren’t responsible enough. And that’s why regulators exist as they’re the ones who should monitor and make adjustments if addiction is getting out of hand.

At the end of the day, if we don’t want to get addicted to gambling, then the simplest answer is… don’t gamble in the first place.

How do gambling companies make there money is by the lost of people and how do gamblers make there money is by winning there prediction, both the companies and the gamblers are in one way losing and also gaining, and for the fact that this gambling companies don't force you to gamble means that they have no hands in you becoming addicted to gambling, the reason why people get addicted to gambling is because they are greedy and they want to use gambling as a source of income instead of a fun thing, will play games online and the reason we play game is because we want to have fun with it, and the company that creates those games makes money when we play and we are spending our money through data meaning the company is making money from us and we the players are not even getting anything apart from the fun, but in gambling we are having fun when using our money to gamble and may still get money from the activity meaning having fun through gambling is even better than game and other fun you have that you spend money without getting money in return no matter the amount or effort you put to it.

There’s some truth on his statement. You will surely broke if you keep gambling on the casino without control on your expenses because casino games has house edge.

What I don’t agree is casino wants player to become addicted because they will gain more profit to players that will be consistently playing the casino properly and use it as source of entertainment purposes only.

Gambling addicted user usually a pain in the ass to deal with because they will use all ways to get revenge to the casino.

IMO these apps are built to expand your time there platform, so they are not your friend at any aspect.  Persistence is become bigger by near miss mechanics combined with continuous advancement & notifications, so it is not luck rather it is by design.  While some platform have slacken safeguards in weak markets, however regulators have even screw up regulations on vip schemes & incentives because they have buoy up harmful play.  So it is true that the incentives are a little stacked.  In nitty-gritty betting responsibly is a consent sticker, while personal preference matters, the product is  schematic to keep you going.

I don't think casinos force people to gamble at their casinos. Their advertising is a natural part of any company, and they do it to profit from the large number of players. However, I don't think they have any intention of making players addicted to gambling. Those who become addicted to gambling are their own choices, and therefore, they bear the risk themselves.
I believe the casinos already profit from the sheer number of players, and the addiction to gambling is likely a bonus for them, as it offers a potential long-term benefit.

I don't understand why anyone would think that companies would be their friends, but i don't think they are your enemies either. Only problem with them is that they might be immoral as if your health is preventing their profit, your health won't be weighing a lot in that calculation. Only legal ramifications of making you ill will.

Literally every company wants you to spend as much of money as you can to them. It's called marketing. But it goes further than advertising. Have you heard about the infamous Phoebus cartel (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoebus_cartel)?

That's a good example of not caring about customers. Light bulbs could have been made so, that they wouldn't ever break, but because selling light bulbs that wouldn't break wasn't a good business, companies that controlled the manufacture and sale of incandescent light bulbs decided among themselves that light bulbs should have a short life cycle, so that people would buy them more. This pretty much summarizes it to me, how much of friends companies are to their customers.

And when it comes to addictive products, why would even make sense to make them less addictive if there are no laws ordering to do so? Even if some companies would have an approach that they want to make less addictive service, rival companies would up their addictive design to steal their customers.

I like the way that everyone is blame everything for their failure, their problems, their addictions instead of getting their acts together and taking some freaking responsibility. This generation is so soft that we just do everything to feel good and once we feel a little discomfort, rather than looking inwards to take responsiblity for our actions and out lives, we pass it on someone else. Betting companies are not our problem, we are our problem. And we must know that and stopp acting like losers. This is not directed to any one in particular just to these types of social media posts like the one whose link is in the OP.

Perhaps the gambling company wants us to bankrupt but we have the power to control ourselves. We can avoid that by having self-control so we just use gambling for fun. We can not waste our money in gambling because we know that it is for entertainment and not to make money.

No matter what the gambling companies did to attract our attention, we can avoid the temptation so we don't play gambling too often. I am in the middle of that statement because I am playing gambling but not too often. So I treat gambling as a way to have fun.

I would say no and yes as well. Why did I have to choose either position:

Yes: This is because, gambling as an addict ensures the betting company keeps earning more money and that’s in the scenario where you are not winning most of your bets as an addict. What’s the excuse, they are not aware although, they warn about this too.

No: This is in the sense that, when you eventually discover that you are addicted and concerned enough to change the narrative, you would seek therapy and that means, they’ve lost one customer and active gambler.

Of course it’s the case, it’s a business that profits from your losses and if you don’t loose, they don’t make money so, you are always welcomed to gamble away.

Bookmakers are only interested in promoting their business. All their warnings about responsible gambling are just slogans saying that we have warned you, but we also respect your choice and your freedom. The more customers, the more money and profit bookmakers get. But the warning and reminder that you must be over 18 years old, for good reason, says that only players are responsible for all their actions. I don’t think bookmakers think about making someone addicted; do they have ads screaming, “play more and play forever”? An adult player does not need to wipe away tears and regret mistakes.

No I don't support his statement, just as every other companies that wishes their customers well to be prosperous so they keep coming back to patronised them and remain loyal to them. So does gambling companies wish their clients well. I don't believe that gambling companies wants their customers addicted, People get addicted out of their own recklessness and their uncontrollable level of greed. If the gambling companies wants people addicted and the gamblers are following the gambling principles to avoid addictions, how will the gamblers get addicted?

Company never expected any gamblers to get addicted to their site.Only they want the users,but the gamblers who loss their huge money in the gambling will leads to become a gambling addicted person.The gamblers should not try to recover their loss in the short period of time.Instead they should regenerate the capital for the gambling,it take some time.The gamblers should ready to take the capital and then analysis the game in that gap period to avoid of loss again in the same gambling site.The gamblers should avoid their emotions while playing in the gambling sites.

Betting companies have no other goal than to make a profit from their betting business, nothing else. They truly don't care if people get addicted to the betting games they offer to gamblers.

So, if many people become addicted because of their betting business, that's the responsibility of the gambler themselves who chose to deposit funds in the casino.
Therefore, the blame truly lies with the gambler, not the casino owner.

Betting companies doesn't want you addicted but of course they know that there will be customers that will get addicted because of how the games are designed. It's not their fault that people get addicted and my reason for saying so is because an individual is the one that can allow themselves to be addicted or not because the casino is not forcing them to get addicted. As long as there are people who can gamble and never get addicted, that means that anyone else can also gamble and not become addicted, it's just to develop self control and be decisive about it. Anyone can be a responsible gambler if they want to.

This is rather a tricky topic and I believe it mostly depends on the moral values which company has.
All companies, regardless of the market, wants to have as many clients and consumers engaged as possible. Do tobacco companies want people to die? No, they just want money. Do uranium mining companies want countries to have more nuclear weapons? Probably no, they just want to get bigger and have more money.
In the same manner, gambling companies just want to have more money and grow, but they do not have in their control how people manage their own money and whether they are addicted or not, and since they are a business, they do whaever it takes to expand, in the same way a orange juice company invests in advertisement, the casino and betting houses will do the same.
The existence of casinos and betting establishment is a consequence of demand and supply, in the end it is within the choice of each one of us to consume either orange juice, tobacco or entertainment in the form or gambling/betting.

They are not our friend. That's true.

We cannot think that they will pity us if we lose a lot of money. They will not. The system will keep on working as it is. It will give RTP if it's the right time, and it will not if we are taking away their money.

In a long period of time, gambling in slots and casino games, I experienced many circumstances that questioned the fairness of online casinos. Local online casinos that are regulated by the country may be the most unfair of all, especially those that use popular stars to be their promoters. They will pay those people, and then they will pay taxes. Where do you think they will take that?
They won't pity anyone even if they get addicted or lose all their savings and their assets. The business will keep on going as it should be and we are going to lose more if we keep on gambling.

If someone gambles with emotion, then he will be responsible for it. Gambling platforms are designed so that they can profit. They will never play the role of a charity that will loss them. These platforms never force anyone to bet. That is why when a gambler loses, they cannot blame them. The most important thing here is self-control. If we cannot control our greed, then we cannot blame gambling platforms.

And it reminds me of the situation with those Japanese establishments where you can come and pay a sum and a "friend" of the opposite sex will pay attention to you all evening, listen to all your troubles and so on. But in reality it just looks like a psychology session, because of course this person will not be your friend. He will absolutely not care about you when the money runs out.
It's the same in casinos and with gambling dealers: if you lose a lot of money in a casino, then no amount of begging or tears will help you get it back.

Of course, they want everyone to get addicted because that's where the majority of their income came from. But gamblers who don't have control of themselves and willing to risk everything knowing that the consequences is going to be bad for them in the end. And it's true that casinos are not our friend, they just want to get our money, simply as that. An for the perks of free drinks and others, we already paid for it when we gamble on land base casinos.

That's why we already said that we really need to be responsible and have control of ourselves when we gamble. Otherwise, when our decision is clouded, then we just throw our money to them. So take every advantage to take it back, let's say you come back and double your money, then that's it, quit while you are in the net positive.

I think that, indirectly, betting companies do want every gambler to become addicted so they will keep gambling tomorrow and beyond. This will lead to profit for the betting company. However, I agree that we can't blame them, therefore, every gambler is responsible for their own actions.
Betting companies never force gamblers to keep betting until they're addicted. They only entice them in various ways, offering free spins, bonuses, and so on. Sometimes we feel like a victim when we lose, and when we win, we feel proud for being able to beat the betting company and make them lose.

If this is questioned.....


Of course I have to answer yes.
The gambling industry is endlessly doing ways, strategies, tricks and so on to users to feel at home and addiction, I once asked one of the online casino operators.
Answers, the operator has a target turnover and operator that fails to reach the target means they fail, they can be shifted, that is the duties and challenges of gambling operators, They try as much as possible so that users are addicted and enjoy the games, that's the real task of the operators.

So do not be surprised if one of the online casino companies competes in cyberspace, they show each other's prowess and show the weaknesses of other casinos, it is normal in competitive casinos, whether it's illegal or legal casinos.

All casinos have to comply with their license issuer and the government to make their platform an entertainment portal, and to put a disclaimer on the risks of playing on their platform, it's not them, but the regulators, I have seen some casinos who wants to be promoted as a get rich quick platform by influencers they can do that because the platform is unregulated.

Your friend’s statement has some weight when he says casinos are not your friend; you should treat it as what it is intended for, and do not spend hours to the point you are neglecting your relationships with people who are important to you.
 

Betting apps were designed to keep gamblers addicted but it doesn't mean betting companies wants their gamblers to get addicted. If that was the case we would have seen bonuses that will trigger and encourage addiction. It's the responsibility of the gambler to know when to stop and how to control their urge to exceed their intended budget.

We can't continue blaming others for our carelessness. I believe before anyone decides to gamble they must have been of age and most gambling companies try their best to ensure underage individual don't gamble on their platform so everyone is responsible for their actions.

So what you are saying now is that all the companies that has app uses black dark magic to attract the app users and you are very sure of what you are saying and ready to prove your points with evidence?  I do not agree with you at the same time I may not know a lot of things that is happening who knows if you have been contacted by one of the companies to build the apps for them for you to come out to say such things.

For those that are interested in gambling, all I know is that you aren't forced to gamble if you are not interested in gambling seeing the apps or advertisement about gambling won't make you to start gambling.

Sometimes, when I see the design and interface of slots in online casinos, I absolutely do not understand why the pictures are so ugly and I get the feeling that this is some way to mock gamblers.

The same often applies to advertising, because they feature some strange monkeys drawn by a novice artist, or they feature absolutely strange women who scream in rage about winning and dollars are showered on them.

All this shows the true relationship of the casino to gamblers.

More like a therapy session, but it'll help relaxation even if no friendship was born out of the conversation. Maybe steady lurking around the vicinity could yield one, yet it's all dependent on paying a fee. Is it actually relatable to gambling, that has no fixed wagering amount?

They may not actually want you broke because they make money off the fact that you have money to gamble, it may not be their intention to get you addicted but they would want you to be hooked in the games and feel like you are enjoying, greed has been one of the killers of joy and fun in gambling, you spend so much when you become greedy and will want to continue meanwhile the casino makes more money even when they always do warn about gambling at certain age.

The X post may be wrong because every gambling platforms are only designed according to the available servicesbrheg offers with awareness of it risks. So it's everyone's right to take control of themselves acknowledging that addiction is real and also be mindful for addiction encroaches and becomes part of us unknowingly to us. Therefore, anyone that becomes it victim has himself to be blamed not the platform itself.
But to be honest, I don't like the ideal of gambling platforms supporting online streamers who only focuses on attracting the audience to gamble with the tunes that it's as easy to win while in reality winning is best of luck.
Many casinos and gambling platforms truly hides under this trick which at some pointw has influence to mislead people to addiction.

They don't force us to gamble and that's the reason why if we become addicted, that's because of our personal conviction in gambling.
And if straight talking, they want their business to be used more because that's how they make money. They're hypocrites if they don't want to profit and still talk about customers not being addicted. But in fairness of them, they still give reminder to only gamble moderately.
The features like self exclude is even included to help gamblers that are feeling addicted already to their games.

Its obvious that they make their money off addicts...one might say that they can also make their money if gamblers are not addicted, technically that might be true but the scale of income wouldn't be as much as what they are making constantly...Ever wondered why they offer bonus offers?this is all system to keep people in system of gambling continuously...gambling is designed to keep people addicted

We shouldn't necessarily view casinos as clean; some of them certainly cheat their customers, but we just don't know it openly. Many casinos set traps for their customers, act unfairly, intentionally leading to addiction and/or bankruptcy through psychologically damaging approaches to gamblers.

However, not all are like that. Many casinos are fair and enforce rules and consistently remind players to gamble responsibly. Although, frankly, responsible gambling is the responsibility of the gamblers, not the casino owners. Gamblers must manage themselves to avoid bankruptcy.

Messaging and therapist have becomes a high profession lately, and the business is thriving like gambling innmy side of the world, most times what people dont do is to have control over their actions and at some point being able to manage their self through when alot did not go well with their plans of getting relaxation and also easing off stress, gambling addiction comes when an individual fails control their gambling urge to the point that their gamble out of control and wanting help where there is none.

We wouldn't say this because they never said so even though we see it in their actions, we cant just conclude things after all they will still tell you that they never said we should gamble uncontrollably and also they never force anyone to gamble with what they can't afford, as we can see we see gambling platform launching much nowadays they keep coming up with different features because they know that they can never lose, so don't we we think that it is now left for us to gamble responsibly, we should learn how to be in charge when gambling, mate if you consider gambling as part of fun then you're good to go because anyone to accept gambling as part of fun won't go emotional.

You have a point, but don't you think that there's something that the casino actually does that triggers that greed.  For example, when playing a slot or crash game, the casino sets a very high multiplier that plays out, a lot of people might decide not to play that round, some might mistakenly miss it while others might get some wins from it. After this do you think that gamblers would not be prompted to keep gambling ?

I wouldn't really say that the betting companies are designed to keep you addicted,  but I believe they will be happy if you are addicted because it means more money for them. Betting companies are established to make profit and your loss as a gambler will allow them to make more profit, so why will they not be happy if you are addicted.
It's true they advice for responsible gambling, but that I guess it's compulsory for government regulations,  just like the cigarettes companies stating it boldly that smokers a liable to die young. The truth is they will be out of business if no one gambles, so I believe they will be glad if you are addicted.

I don't think you've to express yourself by adding insults, is there any reason for saying some one isn't matured, I have tried to read through what the op said I don't think it has anything to do with immaturity, those are not good words but that's by the way, no doubt that what every establishment wants is their profit although they may also care about their customers a little but not more than they reason for setting up such business which is profit every business firm is selfish to that effect, so you even know what dark magic is, that's interesting, so you mean in this technology age or will I say contemporary age you still  think that the so called dark magic can be used to create apps that will affect users from all round the world negatively to the benefit of the owners of the app? My advise will always be for people to gamble with safe control, this dark magic stuff is what I won't want to discuss because I know nothing about it and I don't think such happens with technology.

They don`t care about it. They just get money from everybody and don`t worry is he addict or not.
But the same time, i don`t think that betting companies need to attract attention with stories of broken lives of addicts, they would be more satisfied getting $5 everyday from lots of common gamblers, who just make 1-2 small bets every day and have no problems with addiction(except money they lose).

gambling apps are not designed to keep any body broke nor addicted you chose either to make yourself broke as a gambler  or addicted to gambling. Beside all this gambling companies you see out there are people source of income so if people are not gambling in their apps how do expect them to sustain and feed their families. Beside the gaming entrepreneurs who set up and owned those  gambling companies are running their own business so who ever what to Patronize them should do, they are not forcing anybody to come gamble in their apps, people are the once who make their owe ways into their gambling apps and start to gamble willingly. So people should gamble responsibly and stop saying shits.

Well I guess betting companies do not care at all about you as long as you are betting and giving them money. They just like any other business the first and only thing they care about is profit and as long as they have got what they wanted they don't really care if you are super rich or completely broke. Now they act upon what happens and they have triggers, for example as soon as you don't gamble anymore with them then they start sending you promotional emails with a small bonus inside of it that acts like a trap, they want you to start gambling again as they are seeing you are not using deposits anymore. They send you this trigger and hope you say since it is free money let me try again. This is the normal operation of many casinos and sport betting companies.

Majority of the gambling platforms never want us to get addicted, all they wanted is to see every gambler to have all reason to gamble and enjoy using their platform for sun, we are the ones being responsible for any form of misconduct, which we are not expected to be irresponsible from how we are gambling, at the end, everyone will be on his own advantage or risk for gambling and the way they are gambling.

They don't say it explicitly, but deep down, they want it. An addicted gambler will come back more often, and each time with more money, if possible. Unfortunately, if there's no control on the part of the gambler, the effect will be like that of a powerful drug. They'll offer you free spins, cashback, and do everything to keep you betting. Is this bad or unethical? No. It's a sales strategy. The casino can't be blamed for someone's addiction.

Every business wants to be successful. Gambling ventures make profit when they have more customers. I don't think betting companies want you to be an addict because it is also bad business for them. An addict might soon go broke, and his gambling activity will reduce or even end. Some gambling platforms also make provision for avenues that can help people control their gambling experience. In my view, reputable casinos don't want their clients to become addicts.     

Actually gambling or betting company want you to gamble for them to make profit, and their profit can only work if you lose meaning that the more you lose the more they gain so indirectly the more you get addicted to losing the more profit they make. So I somehow believe that statement to be true. It might be that gambling company didn't force anyone to gamble or get addicted but indirectly they need your loses to make more profit now what can we consider it to be? Definitely they need you to get addicted for them to make more money but tries to play sympathetic why they have other interior motive.

Well stated, i don't know why some people feels like their is a mystery that is attached to gambling such that even when they do not plan to spend more money or time gambling but in the end they still find themselves in such situation. Someone who is disciplined will know when to stop gambling especially if they have reached their limit. Betting companies are not to be blamed for gambling addiction because they are also running a business whereby they expect profits from it so if a gambler cannot control himself and know when to stop, it is their brunt to bear because the betting company cannot tell you to stop or continue. Gambling without constraints is bad because it nurses someone into addiction which can be difficult to conquer later. Sure gambling is not programmed to make the bettors rich rather the gambling companies are mostly at advantage of becoming rich through the losses of many gamblers but there is a way to follow it up such that we don't spend so much to the extent that it begins to trouble our mind.

Addicted gamblers will not stop at anything to try to shift he blame
- it's the companies that employ marketing strategies
- it's a casino that has a nice atmosphere and gives you booze
- it's the casinos that make the games fun
- it's casinos that are easily accessible
to blame addiction on everyone but themselves, there are billions, yeah billions of people in this world that do not gamble, how do they manage, lol?
Casinos want your money, that's all, one thousand addicts who can barely scrape $10 a week are less in their eyes than a gambler who is not addicted, who plays once a month ,but when he does, he throws away hundreds of thousands of dollars, unlike with drug addicts, the amount a person can spend in a casino is not finite.

 

That is one of their memo but this memo is a hidden one. Who doesn't like to bring their customers close to their business but the way they want you addicted is to make sure you like what you are seeing. If a casino is doing numbers, let's say 1M turn over if players in a month and 200k wager at least a total bet of $1000 in a month, that alone is $200m, if half lost the money that's $100m going to the casino pocket, we have not talk about other players. However, let's say the following month the number reduced by 50%, do you think the casino is going to be happy.

The system is designed in a way they want players to keep coming back to gamble more and more. Why do you think some casino come back with an aggressive marketing after a long time of promotions. Once a casino makes the number or their targeted customers, they lay low but as soon as revenue decline, you see a new pattern of ways to bring players back to base. That's when you see welcome bonuses flying around just to encourage people to gamble.

Of course, I think that gambling companies mainly use various strategies to get people to move towards them, and to regularly give their time and spend money on their platforms. Basically, gambling platforms offer many types of temptations where players get stuck and cannot handle their financial greed, so they gradually become addicted. However, I think that if a player can control himself and play responsibly, he will not become addicted. Betting companies aim to get people to spend time and money on their platforms, but those who are responsible and knowledgeable always keep themselves in control. However, if you can control yourself, then no matter how much the gambling company tries to get you addicted, you will not be trapped there, basically it is about confidence in yourself and your own responsibility and experience and keeping yourself in control, not being greedy.

Casinos didn't compel anyone to register with them, deposit and start gambling. The gambler made his decision to gamble and also start chasing his losses. When you are greedy and want to reap from where you did not sow from, you will end up being a loser. You didn't give the casino any money but you want to get money from the casino.

We are all going to be held responsible for our actions and any addicted gambler should be responsible for his addiction and no one else. Responsible gambling should be our priority.

Yes - that statement is true in one sense, but the gambling industry is also given the responsibility to prevent more irresponsible gamblers in several ways. They know that gamblers will eventually become addicted - they know the profits they will make will be very high, but they also don't want to state out loud that their target market is irresponsible gamblers.

Almost all casinos will advise their customers to gamble responsibly and wisely. This advice is written on their website - but have you ever find a casino intentionally block you just because you're consistently losing? So what's wrong here? I don't think the casino is to blame, as it's the gambler's responsibility to gamble responsibly.

No matter how many Bitcoins you think Satoshi held in his custody, I think Satoshi wouldn't like adhere to dump all the Bitcoins he had at once in the market. He knows the kind of effect that action alone could cause in the market. He wouldn't think of going in that direction; instead, he would like to sell his Bitcoin in bits(little by little), not at once, like a heavy dump. Satoshi is not that naive to dump all his Bitcoin on the market.  He will think of something else on how to go about his 5% owed Bitcoin

Maybe some are not, but mostly, they are. Why? Because in this kind of business, the more the gamblers gamble, the more money will come into their pockets. Most gambling companies are required to remind people to gamble responsibly, because everyone knows that there's always a chance for someone to get addicted. Just like in the cigarette industry, just because they put something like "cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health" means they care for you or for someone who gets addicted. All they know is to improve their product so people get addicted specifically for their product only. However, they aren't the one to blame when someone is addicted, because for them it's all business. At the end of the day, it is us who's responsible for our actions.

Coming from someone who couldn't control himself and his gambling activities turned out not good I guess.  It's not a new thing for reckless gamblers to point fingers ones they begin to realise that they are addicted.. the first thing they should know is that the casinos has nothing to do with you, you literally signed up on their platform and filled in details because you wanted to gamble. So what's the point of blaming them for how things later turned out.

There was no guarantee that you would make wins from any game you decided to play. The casino as well would be in loss if almost all the game were winners.. I don't support such statements, we should learn to take responsibility for our actions..

People don't really know what is good for themselves, they make use of the opportunity to gamble and deviate from the normal way of expectations in it, we must be able to plan for ourselves and also know that addiction is what we should by all means avoid, because the casinos will not push us into it, instead we rather develop our personal interest in going for the way we gamble, which may see right to us, but actually a pattern to addiction.

Betting companies are not responsible for creating more addicted gamblers, honestly I doubt if the creation of betting site was meant to extract money from customers on a daily basis to an extend one can’t do without gambling activity for a day, obviously every business owner wants the best for their business likewise betting companies. As many have stated the reason why gamblers fall into hands of addiction greediness, the surprising part they don’t want to learn from their mistake rather they still find other means to win the casino when gambling win is not guarantee, the numbers of live streamers teaching new gambling strategy and the numbers of viewers watching the strategy is discouraging at this point you can clearly see the gambling companies are not responsible for addiction.

It is true that gambling companies do not have time to see if a gambler is addicted or not. They have designed their gambling in such a way that they will win. It is very common for gamblers, especially those who are greedy and gamble for a long time, to become addicted to gambling. They may be addicted because of their mistakes, but it is not the case that the gambling platform will attract them to bet only for their own sake. Gambling companies, even if they do not want it directly, will indirectly increase their profits as more gamblers are under their control and spend money, but they operate their activities to benefit not only addicted gamblers but also from the whole gamblers.

All what betting companies want is endless flow of money. For them it does no matter how gamblers are going to solve financial situations, they want gamblers to come, play, and lose more than they win. Gambling addiction, that is a problem, sickness. Thats not what they really want. Addicted gambler is a trouble maker. For example such person will always try to cheat, test casino games for vulnerability. I dont think that casino will want to waste their resources on that.

Companies have systems that track user activity through their dashboards. It's mean, companies can easily see how long you've played on the platform, what games you've played, and how much you've deposited. all of these can be recorded. So, they don't need to track individual users, to know their users addicted or not. the system helps keep track of everything. The loyalty programs run by gambling companies are proof that they have systems in place to monitor your activity on their services. if your gamble frequently and for long periods of time, and frequently deposit on the same day (more than once), it could indicate you've been identified as an addicted customer. Tracking user activity is that simple.

I support the statement that casinos want us to be addicted so that we have more time to play at the casino, and of course they get more turnover if many people go bankrupt, they seem to hypnotize us and always imagine winning, so it all depends on us how strong we are in resisting the temptation.

I don't think casinos are interested in you becoming addicted because, in the long run, addicts end up quitting permanently, and those who aren't addicted tend to be more consistent over the years. Also, looking at it from another perspective, addicts are a small minority, so profits come from players who can control and manage their money in a normal way.

Casinos, like any other business, like to make money, so a player who will be loyal to them for years is more important to them.

Betting companies do not need gamblers to be addicted before they make profits because gambling is designed to put them at advantage. If they advocated for people to be addicted to gambling, it will end up ruining their business since they are already milking people without addiction. Instead of wanting people to be addicted, gambling companies tend to sponsor ads that will make people to gamble responsibly. I have seen some of those ads and I commend them for taking such step.

Of course the statement is totally wrong because gambling is all about personal decision. However, since nobody is forcing anyone in gambling it is left for you to decide whether you are going to gamble responsibly or not. Honestly, there is nothing consign betting companies with addiction because you are the one betting the game you have 100% right to quit if you found at the game is not always in favor. than shirting the blem to the companies that they are responsible for your gambling addiction, without realizing that gambling is what you decide.

Betting campaigns are interested in attracting new players, not in making their clients dependent. According to the license, betting campaigns must player protection and otherwise they may be fined or their license will be revoked.

Betting houses are businesses and, of course, want to make money. But when a customer becomes addicted, they eventually stop betting because they no longer have money to spend. In other words, they stop being profitable for the house. Furthermore, no business wants to be known as a place full of addicts; this damages its reputation and, ultimately, drives away other customers. That's my opinion.

Of course, gambling companies are not our friends. They are here to do business. They are doing business in return for providing us with services. And we are enjoying playing the games they provide and at the same time hoping to win something big. Many are winning big and later losing it, while many are enjoying profits. So even if gambling companies are not our friends, they cannot be blamed in any way. Because they mention in their ToS the services they provide and the risks and requirements of gambling on their platform. If you get emotionally hurt while gambling, then it is your own responsibility. Because you are unable to protect yourself.

From my point of view, I do not think the gambling platform wanted their players to get addicted to gambling but they also can't do anything to make their client avoid gambling addiction, since it is dependent on the individual's resistance to gambling addiction.

Although they wanted to retain their clients or players by offering promotions, bonuses, and patronage rewards, I believe they don't want their clients ' lives to get destroyed since they wanted their patronage in a lifetime.  What would they get from a broken client?  Yes, they can get short-term benefits, but businesses wanted long-term benefits, so with that, I believe gambling companies don't want their client to get addicted.  They wanted us to get hooked but not addicted.

Sure, every business man or woman always want thier business to progress. And so as betting companies they don't Mind if you're addicted to gamble or not, is the progress of thier business they're looking for. you as a gambler is not supposed to wait for bett companies to advice you, Rather you should be the one to advice yourself. Because the betting companies believe that every gamblers already know the rules about gambling so if you choose to gamble beyond control is non of thier business because they are not the one that ask you to join sport betting in the first place.

Gambling companies don't force you to gamble, yes it's correct they warn about responsible gambling  and even create  self exclusion features to help the gambler to fight addiction tendencies but in the very same the casino also gives you the tools to kill yourself with all the fascinating and eye catching games they provide in their sites. You the gambler beholds your fate with every actions base on the decisions you take, either to gamble with self control or to let loose and fall into addiction.

The bonuses or welcome bonuses that gambling and casino sites offer are mainly to attract gamblers. It is just a business strategy of gambling and casino authorities. In fact, if they cannot attract gamblers, then they will not have any profit, which is why they attract gamblers through various attractive offers. However, there is no need to force them because people have a kind of instinct that they cannot control, such as the attraction to gambling, which is an uncontrollable .

We are aware that gambling has been portrayed always in its two faces; the first portrays warnings and the self-control mechanism and the second promotes mass bunkering into the game. I do not refute the fact that the end of the decision still lies in the hands of a person, but I also predictively believe that gambling companies help people to go further than they planned. I am sure you can imagine the way that the persuasive words are used to create the promotions, the games are scripted to stimulate the adrenaline all the time and the sense of winning as an imminent possibility even when the odds are so against you.

I have understood that this case is an indication that it is not only people to be blamed since the system has been set to incorporate people. We should understand that not every person has strong mental will to withstand such stimuli, in particular when emotional factors are involved as well as the urge to make easy money. Therefore, even with the existence of official warnings, it is a fact that the companies still contribute to the enhancement of the risk, and this fact cannot make their involvement neglected.

Gambling addiction benefit the casinos more since the rake in more revenue from addicts, however, it will be unfair to think that casinos want people to be addicted to gambling. Even without addiction, they will enjoy the House Edge so there is no point hoping on or wanting people to be addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction is generally a problem that both the casinos and the government are doing their best to avoid.

Responsible gamblers in the sense that you don’t waste too much money while gambling or have a control of your gambling habit when gambling? I still don’t think they will go broke and not make much money that will make them want to stop running the business again. The gambling activity is designed generally to make you lose, so even if you gamble responsibly and use only the amount of money you can lose, there is no way you’ll beat the casino for them to go broke.

Remember that gambling still remains a game of luck and gambling responsibly doesn’t mean you won’t continue losing money, you’ll just lose as much as you can contain, that doesn’t mean the casinos will stop gaining from your bet, it will just be minimal and not much like they use to with more addicted gamblers who don’t gamble responsibly. Casinos will still benefit the more and will still remain a profitable business for anyone that ventures into it because of the way it is designed generally.

The government cares more about taxes from gambling in my country. You will see gambling ads on TVs and also you will see the same ads on signboards besides the roads and everywhere people are existing in my country like on YouTube from YouTubers. The government does not care here.

The gambling sites do not care up to what you think, but they include it on the terms of service that people should just gamble for fun. It is people that should discipline themselves.

You are right but still, I think the other person in X is also right in his own way too knowing fully well that gambling companies really solely on gamblers to make money, and the more this gamblers are bringing money to them, the more their casinos business grow and flourish, everyone running a business has this desire, that their business should do well, become a global brand with lots of customers across different countries of the world.

So, addicted gamblers are a great asset to the casinos because it's from such gamblers the casino make the most money, it's true that casinos do advice gamblers to gamble responsibly but I think this is because they are mandated by law to include that in the bottom of any parts of their casino, I've never heard that a casino returned the money of a gambler who they detected lost the money because he (the gambler) was a gambling addicts and shouldn't have risked such an amount of money on gambling if he or she wasn't addicted, or have you yourself @op ever seen or heard that a casino returned a gamblers money because he was an addicted gambler? I guess you answer is "No" too.

So, in the nutshell, casinos may not necessarily want gamblers to be addicted to gambler, but they definitely value gambling addicts more because they are the ones they make most money from.

I haven’t really seen that in the terms to be honest. If anyone here can point to a gambling site that actually has it, I’d appreciate it because I’d love to check it out. What I usually read in most casino TOS is simple, you need to be at least 21 years old to gamble. That’s the age where you’re no longer considered a minor and, ideally, you can think more maturely.

At the end of the day, casinos don’t decide rules based on what people “feel.” The law is pretty straightforward, as long as you’re 21 and above, you’re allowed. Whether someone gambles just for fun or treats it seriously to make money, that’s harder to judge and the casino doesn’t really care as long as you meet the age requirement.

I have seen it in more than 3 gambling sites. I always see it while reading their terms of service. I think I saw it on Stake and Livecasino also and some other gambling sites.

Let me use the gambling site that I put on their signature and avatar as an example which is Metawin:


This is the link to Metawin terms of service: https://metawin.com/terms-and-conditions/

You will see it under section 2.0.1

The more money you lose, the more money they make. Okay, aside from entertainment, what are casinos after? Money. How are they going to make money? right, when you lose. Well, in this kind of business, you shouldn’t venture into it if you easily get carried away by conscience. After all, the decision to play is in every player’s hands. It’s not like the casino forces you to play and deposit. Even with how enticing their ads are, if you don’t want to play, they can’t do anything about it. Oh, and by the way, since I’ve made consecutive deposits, I received an email, like advice or something from the casino. Idk if it’s automated or not based on how many times you’ve deposited. Well, idc about it tho.

Definitely they want you addicted because there is a parable that says one man's meat is another Mans poison. Meaning the pain of loses that gamblers experience is happiness of the casino. I earlier created a thread that say "Gambler are losers Casino owner are winners" this was exactly what Meant because theore gamblers lose the more gain the casino recieve.

Trying to figure out what they want/hope is kinda meaningless imo. Who will explicitly say they want addicted gamblers to increase? They're not going to increase the chance government knocking on their door. Not to mention some players don't have the ability to control themselves either, even though it's their responsibility to do that. At the end of the day, just make sure you read their ToS, understand how their game works, and decide if they're for you or not. It's not like a business that says they are their customers' friend won't backstab you in the back either.

I have experienced addiction and financial difficulties because of gambling. Although it was initially difficult to admit, the reality is that addiction and the bankruptcy of gamblers are caused by the uncontrolled desires of the gambler. If a gambler can control their gambling activities as well as manage the money they bet responsibly, casinos might not become the root of the problem.
If you are not prepared to lose the money you are betting, it's better not to ever try gambling.

casinos can be a factor that bringing people to addictions, but the most important factor remains the individual. Casinos provide easy access and a stimulating environment, but the choice to continue gambling or stop is entirely up to the individual. Therefore, casinos may not be the root of the problem, as the true root of the problem lies in a lack of self-control or personal circumstances that drive a person to seek out gambling for entertainment, leading to addiction.

I think they want you to return with the money, but not be addicted. Addiction is when you return for any reason you have, but the end is always the same, you are in debt and in troubles. For casino that means you are no longer a client, but a problem. Nobody wants any form of problem. Instead casino with you to be happy client who returns for more.

Even if they want to, the decision is still yours; you have the sole responsibility to do what is necessary not to become addicted, even if they offer a lot of bonuses or giveaways.

They always remind their users to gamble responsibly. A responsible and happy gambler will always come back to play, and that’s additional profit for the casino. In contrast, an addict to gambling will one day shy away from casinos to cure his addiction, and it will take months or even years to come back.
Casinos thrive on responsible gamblers, not those who are irresponsible.

That’s right. Besides, wishing their players to become addicted will surely give them some implications in an event that addiction cases becomes widespread.

Same on what happening to Philippines right now that there’s a lot of restrictions and ban in online gambling just because many people is become addicted.

In the end, their business will suffer if the government step in to solve this gambling addiction issue.

I know that the most important responsibility of this game is not based on the rules of the casino, but on us. It is possible to observe how bonuses or prizes are just the sleight of hand to prolong the time spent playing and they do not promise to win. In case we tend to relax, it will only accelerate the consumption of capital. Those players capable of self control will come back the following day with a clear conscience whereas addicts will be very long untangling themselves and that is not good to everybody.

It is only healthy gamblers who will keep on gambling in casinos since they do not jeopardize on their characteristics by playing casinos that expose them to casino intoxication that ends up costing them their future. We must bear in mind that such gambling is associated with risks and no promotion will help to remove them. That is why the most rational step is to control yourself, eliminate the size of losses in advance, and do not allow the profits to take you out of the schemes. Assuming that you do intend to keep it on as entertainment, make each session a jocular thing, not a gold-digging adventure. Then at least we can make sure that the game is fun as opposed to a burden.

Basically, gambling companies come to the market to do business, they do not have any intention to make a gambler addicted to gambling. Yes, the more a gambler gambles with their company, the more profit they will earn, in that case they will not want any of their customers to stop gambling. And I think that gambling companies have no interference behind gambling addiction. We ourselves are responsible for becoming addicted to gambling, we gamble but if that gambling is not as planned, if everything is excessive, then we will easily become addicted to gambling. But no gambling site asks any gambler to do something like that you gamble with all the money you have or if your gambling money runs out, you borrow money and still gamble. We gamblers do all this ourselves, so it would be wrong to blame the company here.

It is business. They need to get profit and to increase it. You can see lots of loyalty programs, bonus systems, marketing campaigns, etc. All these promotion costs money and betting companies spend it to increase their profit. But i`m sure that they would prefer common gambler than gambling addict - it wouldn`t attract attention. Common gambler wouldn`t cry everywhere how gambling broke his life - he just lost $5, not a problem.

For what I know they don't care if you get addicted while gambling, all they are after their pockets, profits and gains so it doesn't matter to them  and while you go home loosing mostly. The fact that you patronize them doesn't give them that opportunity to care when you go overboard in terms of being addicted or broke why every gambler should be subjected to control and responsible gambling

It is probably true that gambling companies prefer ordinary gamblers and they focus more on increasing their numbers. They select a large number of gamblers from among them who are very involved in gambling and like to spend more time and money. To attract their attention, they offer bonus programs and deposit limits and offer the best offers on various betting strategies.

Companies are in business to make money and you as a customer, should continue to gamble according to your income regardless of the tempting offers they give you.

These casinos might be engaging in aggressive marketing but the decision to gamble is on the gambler. There are rules that guides the operation of casinos. The government always make laws that protect gamblers from exploitation through addiction. So a casino cannot just come up with strategies to make people addicted. Casino owners might want more customers, but they cannot force people to gamble.

Your proverb of "one man's gain is another man's loss" applies to all business. Morticians want people to die, lawyers want people to break the law, mechanics want your car to break down, breweries want you to keep drinking, tobacco companies want you to keep smoking, etc. If you keep blaming casinos for addiction, you are simply shifting responsibility.    

The gambling platform is a business venture, they want to make profit and that's very important to keep the platform running. Hence they will make sure to employ all possible means of inducing the gamblers to glue to the the games, to continue gambling even when losing so much. At that tip it should be the responsibility of the gambler to advise himself to pause and walk off and don't make yourself vulnerable to the persuasions and promotions the casinos spread. It's as simple as it should be but we get too busy with wanting to win huge funds and neglect the obvious, our sanity.

What people forget is that every business owner would try to keep their customers close to get more income and just like every business entities do, gambling companies also use ads, bonuses and tournaments keep their customers and attract more customers too but that doesn't mean they want you to the addicted or go broke cause if those happens they might likely lose their customers that's why most gambling platforms advise their customers to play by the rules which is gambling responsibly and when a gambler fails to do that then they'll have themselves to blame for whatever the outcome of their actions may be and not the gambling platforms.

Sometimes i laugh from the way i see some gamblers do gamble, because they are not in any way helping with the situation, we cant claim to be an irresponsible gambler and expect that we have highest order of discipline from how we are gambling, had it been that we were disciplined right form time, may be we couldn't have been responsible in our ways of gambling, the gambling platforms has nothing to do with this, it is a matter of being discipline or an indiscipline nature of some gamblers who feels they can always take wrong approach to gambling the way they like.

They want to make a profit hence the only way they can get that profit is through you losing, not only you but many other gamblers. It's just business and they want to make a profit hence I don't think they're doing any wrong wanting you to lose. It's when they get to sabotage the fairness of the game that they have done something wrong. The more addicted to gambling you're, the more you'll be gambling and the casino's will be profiting. Soda companies add sugar and other addictive substances to their drinks to make you want to buy more. Every industry is doing this hence the gambling industry can't be exempted. They want you to gamble more because you're making them more money when you keep on losing.

Some gamblers actually need to be reminded that the casinos are not their friends. There are some individuals who choose to gamble when they are in a bad mood, like when they are depressed or facing some difficulties. To them, gambling eases their pain, especially if it is a land based casino with all the social interactions that creates some kind of fun and social connection. If they get attached so much to the casino, they would get addicted to it

Any gambler who becomes too comfortable with finding comfort in a casino will eventually become a prey to these casinos. I can still remember when I was a child when some men used to go out to a local playground to gamble locally everyday.  They would gamble from morning  till evening everyday. It was fun, but the gamblers obviously suffered financially due to lack of proper time management.

The apps are not illega, they use disclaimers and have done the official work, but the apps are designed with the help of behavioral psychologists, which makes the app more addictive and engaging by offering features like that. So in that case, the apps are not illegal, nor do they force you to install them. However, they do advertise in such a way that manipulates you into installing them by yourself. In this way, you install and decide to gamble, if you lose, it's your headache, not theirs. By the way, remember that the apps' main earnings come from your losses, you lose, they earn, so keep that in mind.

Actually that's what anyone who gambles and is not been favoured with gambling can say, when you are not wining in the gambling what comes to people's minds is that gambling will make you broke

The main thing is that when you fails to gamble with strategies you will be losing more and more, but if you gambles with a good  plans you can never get broke, the objects of the owners of gambling platforms is to make money, they don't wish a gambler to win because the more we the gamblers are wining the more they're going broke, so what we plans for them it's what they plan's for us. Their vision with yours is vice-versa

Just because they made self exclusion available doesn't mean that they have the best interest of gamblers at heart, remember they everything is programmed against that gamblers to lose so definitely they aim to make more profit and the only way the make these profits is when gamblers are addicted, that is just how their business keeps on increasing. Although it's possible that they don't want people to get addicted but it's hard to believe

I don't think that casinos want you to get addicted to gambling any more than Pepsi wants you to be addicted to Doritos, or Altria wants you to get addicted to Marlboro Reds...  Does that make a business bad if they want customers to make their products part of their daily lives?  Sure, they probably know that they aren't doing you any favors, but at the same time they are probably happy to bring you small moments of happiness and receive compensation for doing so.

Do they want you to ruin your life because of their product?  No.  Do they want you to spend all your available money on it?  Yes.

Again self exclusion is a regulatory requirement for casinos if and when their want to operate wirh a license, so the law enforcement mandate them to include self exclusion into the casino features, left for casinos owners, their will definitely not have thay features on the casino since the aim of operating the casinos is to generate revenues and profits so what the need to chase the gambler who spend so much uncontrollably on the house.

Your view really pointed out responsible gambling practices and personal agency. While the view against talks about it's ability for exploitation by betting companies. The both perspective do have merit, but certain things should be put to considerations, examples; responsible gambling practices, regulation of industry, and vulnerability of users, the difference in perspectives are, some say betting companies are predators, while others say they provide entertainment to users.

Betting companies are business men and women who don't even know you or where you come from. They are after their profit. They don't know you so why will they want an unknown person addicted .every business person wants profit from his or her business.the audience is there so they don't have time to want you get addicted.it is not just one betting company there are lots of them so if any betting company wants you addicted will it be a minus or a plus to them. If any betting company wants you addicted and you are not placing your bet in their company is that not a loss for them?

Betting sites aren't predators; they're businesses. No one is forced to gamble. It's up to the individual to know when to stop. There's no point in the bookmaker blocking an account, because if the person wants to continue, they'll find another site. Ultimately, the responsibility lies with the gambler.

Just my opinion.

We should know how we speaks about gambling sites. Gambling sites or casinos are not in any way wanting you to lose and of course losing is a part of the rules of the games in gambling and any gambler today should understand that it's a thing certain in the gambling industry. Therefore, while gambling we shouldn't think that gambling site are the one who are compelling you to come gambling rather it's our choice to gamble or not. If I don't make deposit I won't lose any peanut or kobo from my ends but, it's our selfish nature or greed index that Increases our losing rates and when it we witness loses the we term it to be that fault of the gambling site meanwhile we didn't apply risk management while gambling.

A lot of presumptions say the casino wanted us gamblers to become addicted. But have we never known that they are giving a warning to just "gamble responsibly"? They are not exactly making us addicted, but we choose to do that because of our wrong mindset and greedy behavior. They don't force us to gamble; we did it personally. That is why we don't have a reason to blame the casinos for our foolish actions, because we are the ones who put ourselves into the situation.

The casino owner doesn't gamble often ( or even not at all). That means a lot.

No one is forcing anyone to gamble we are responsible for our actions, if gambling is not good for anyone the person should quite and the same thing is applicable to smoking, gambling companies are in for profit maximization and they are not scared of you making a profit if you can, it is not their plans that anyone should get addicted, the world is larger that even with the population of un addicted gamblers they still know that they can make profit and I don't think they will be happy seeing gamblers being addicted, it is expected that we only do as we can without over doing it but people will always over do which certain.

Indeed, those casinos never force us to join gambling games. It is our own decision to gamble, we also determine the amount of money to use in gambling ourselves. The casinos just provide a place for the gamblers to try their luck and get entertainment. So, they want us to get the advantages of the gambling games, they don't expect for the bad things such as addiction. It is our own mistake to be addicted because we gamble in a careless way. Sometimes, it is also triggered of our greed. So we must ensure to have a proper mentality and gamble in the right way to be safe in gambling. It is surely our own responsibility!!

Even though you gamble with strategies It doesn't still guarantee winning, what raps it up is luck, although in sports bet we canake use of head to head and club histories to to win repeatedly unannounced, gambling is an activity that we cant really comprehend, the outcome is not known halfway until the game is over.
The only way a gambler will not be handicapped financially is by not being a reckless gambler and how will gamblers achieve that, I think it is by having self control, knowing when to give your self time, relax a bit and come back when necessary, gambling should not be seen as a work or the only means to make money and beside is making money through gambling even asured, I think the answer is no, it is a 50/50 thing, we can never in anyway win morthan the owners themselves, the business must continue and for it to continue, people has to lose, the more we play safe, the better for us.

I see it a little different, because while discipline is very important I don’t think it’s the only factor that shapes how people gamble, some gamblers may start with discipline but along the line the environment of gambling platforms, constant promos and the emotional rush can slowly break that control and push them into taking wrong steps.

It’s true that many gamblers lack discipline from the beginning, but it’s also the way gambling itself is built that makes it harder to keep control, for example chasing losses or believing that one more try will fix everything is not only about indiscipline but also about the nature of risk and reward that gambling feeds on. So yes gamblers need discipline, but I’d say it’s also about awareness and having real strategies to protect themselves from the traps of gambling, otherwise even a disciplined person at the start can still fall into reckless gambling over time.

If we are talking about me - i get profit from betting and have problems with bookies due to it :) I`m the type of gambler that bookies don`t like :)
The best for common gambler is to play when he wants and how he wants. If he can get some bonuses when he decided to play - it is ok, it is good. But if he decided to play because he can get bonuses - it is bad for him. It means that he is catch by bookies marketing.

Just as others have said, gambling was never created to favour gamblers and if getting addicted to gambling would make the casino or gambling company more money then they’d be happy with it. To them gambling is just business, it doesn’t really matter to them if people’s life are being ruined or not, they are just there to make money and also give those who are extremely lucky the opportunity for them to make a good fortune from gambling.

Gambling is for fun! Gambling responsilby.

This is what they always say, but the real thing is GAMBLE at your own RISK! Ofcorse, Casino wants you to gamble more and more and take your money.
This is the business they have and the desing is to get you addicted and they earn BIG TIME!

You and only you can help your self and make sure you will not be addicted in gambling and make sure to gamble moderately.

Gambling for you should be FUN! You should be the one who is responsible for what you do and bet! You are the one who must moderate it.
As for them, casino is their business, your gambling is their gain.

Gamble to WIN and make sure you know when to stop, you cant win all the money of casino but you can take some of it.

They don't want you to stay addicted or broke that's why they spend millions of their revenue on educating and spreading gambling awareness and you're asked to gamble responsibly so you don't get addicted or get broke. These companies also spend a lot on New features on their site to keep you in checked and log you out when you're gambling more than you should.

There's a gambling limit on most of the casinos to not make you stay addicted. What else are they supposed to do?

Cigarettes companies warned that smokers are likely to die young and yet people keep consuming it. What are they supposed to do?

Absolutely- the goal of casinos is to earn money.

In the grand scheme of things, gambling companies are businesses in which the ultimate goal is for them to earn profit on their end. If gambling in general wasn't profitable in the first place, then we would see only a handful of companies being operated in the world. The fact that there are tons of online gambling websites being created tells us that such venture is very profitable on their end.

Just to add, this bolsters further the profitability of gambling casinos when the government intervenes and enacts measures to combat against gambling. Under this thread, we observed that some countries started to be stringent on the execution of laws limiting the access to everyone.

In conclusion, gambling companies are businesses. The primary goal is to for them to incur profit and take advantage of the popularity of gambling worldwide.

Companies want money. Addiction comes as side effect, meaning their main goal isn't to make you addicted, but if you have to become addicted in order to generate income for them, it's not something they really care about. After all, it's about the decisions and responsabilities each of us have to take for our acts. We face the consequences for our decisions, and to blame others for our failures, difficulties and addictions is never the solution to overcome the challenges we face.

On the other hand, addiction isn't good for gambling business, because on the scenario where every gamblers were addicted, this activity wouldn't be profitable on long run for casinos, because there wouldn't be a constant public going for it. Rather, we would have a society of broken individuals, unable to generate income for a living, without any perspectives of thriving.

Extractivism is never a good concept of business. Sustainability is desirable in every cases...

A casino does not want people to be Addicted because the business will start to go bad for them, they can gamble a lot, but they will not be Constant players because things will simply get out of hand if they continue to generate income, then it is useless, also a case of that business where it is convenient for them to have more and more clients , if they come in , Spend and then do not come back, those clients are simply lost, it is not the same.

I understand what you're saying, but you can't blame everything on the player. Casinos are designed to make us spend more than we should; they know exactly how to trap us. Of course, we have to be careful, but we also have to recognize that the system has a lot of influence. The ideal would be limited fun, without exploitation.
That's my point, you know?

Whether players get addicted or not, the casino owner don't know about it and the staffs don't even know about it since what they are more concerned about is for the casino to run effectively and make sure there's no glitch. The casino don't want anyone to be addicted that's why they even tell player to be responsible but they already know that the games they have can cause addiction to players that lacks self control.

If we are talking about companies in an impersonal way, yes. But if we're talking about individuals, I don't think that all casino owners, workers, or investors want to make money without thinking about the consequences it may have on people's lives. Besides, there's some exaggeration here. It's true that a person with gambling problems can end up in a very bad situation, but I know quite a few people who gamble in one way or another and have never had any major problems.

Let's clear one thing first. Casinos and all the gambling companies are mandatory forced to put signs and warnings regarding responsible gambling. If they weren't forced by the authorities, they wouldn't put them. As they didn't do it when it wasn't mandatory. They don't do it for our sake, nor do they care for any addiction that you might have or develop while playing on their platforms. On the contrary, put promos and bonuses, and referral programs to make people visit as many times as possible and strengthen the feeling of letting your luck go if you don't gamble, and of course, anyone's addiction. So, I tend to agree with this statement, but not completely.

Of course not. The platform owners don't force it, whether it's official or not, and simply provide a platform for willing players. The reason many people come is because there are some interesting things to do and there are big prizes there. This is what has become a topic of conversation among players who have tried it, whether they're relaxing with their colleagues or having a good time together.

Initially, every new player tries it out and makes a profit at first, and this is where addiction begins, and they're even willing to make repeated deposits without thinking twice about the important thing: to win, hoping to recoup their lost funds.

Casino owners do not know the number of customers they have because they see different users of the casino coming from different region they may not have the record of any gambler who is no longer coming to gamble because of the condition he is facing due to his addiction to the game and losing some few persons due to their condition will not also make the casino owner to know that addiction has made a particular customer from coming to the casino again unless there is a serious issue that requires urgent attention of the casino owner he will not be that observant to notice all his customers. If there is a physical casino shop, I regular customer can be noticed if he stops coming to play games at the shop but most physical shop does not need advert to get new customers they are always having customers.

The sole aim of every company is to reach a large audience and make profits out of them in the process, with enticing offers that will keep them stuck to their company services

On the same vein, I don't think there's any betting company that doesn't like a high rise of gamblers patronizing them on a steady basis. Those who can mostly do that, to gamble daily, are those who are addicted to gambling. For those who are not addicted, they might be gambling once or twice daily with the amount they can afford to lose. That way, gambling companies won't be making a lot of money, which we see them make all the time.

For gambling companies to explore in their area of services, they want you and I to gamble always. That way they will be richer

Addiction is a personal decision, since no gambling platform is forcing bets on us to do, we choose to gamble by our own self and assign a stipulated time for doing it as we wishes, no one is ever forced to gamble, what we don't know is that gambling is a two direction path, in which we give all that we have and also receives from what the platform has to offer us, they are not doing anything to engaged us addicted, instead to make us happy in having fun while playing verities of games on their platform, addiction now set in when we are unable to apply utmost discipline in all we do.

Lolz. This topic is confusing because I can't say yes or no. In some cases it is when you are addicted that they make more money and in some cases it is when you not buy deposit big amount and loss it. Why people becoming addicted to gamble because they want to make more money at all bets or games and the mindset to make more one day even when they are losing is the highest cause of addiction.
"I will win big one day" and I will buy car, build house and give big money to my girlfriend. This is the major thing that making many gamblers to be addicted.

Sometimes a gambler's losses can be the cause of addiction, and sometimes a gambler can be addicted through winning. When a gambler's goal is not just to win but to change his life through winning, then their losses will increase significantly in order to achieve that kind of win. At some point, the gambler's losses will increase and he will gamble to recover those losses. From a purely subjective point of view, when a gambler becomes addicted, they lose money regularly, which is definitely a profit for the gambling company. Although the control of this with the gambler himself.

I think so, AFAIK people who complain about casinos are mostly two sides, the first one is they lost a lot of money, the second one is the casino confiscate/freeze/pending withdrawal.

In what way the casino advise the gamblers? it just a sentence in small size, that's not even enough to call it as warning, let alone as advice. I think it can be an advice if the casino give warning every time the gambler want to make deposit, so whenever we click the deposit, there's a message to proceed yes or no question.

For some reasons I think I'll agree to that because the gambling industry are mainly concerned about their profits and gains, so when a gambler counter loses while gambling they know they are at advantage but necessarily they can't give you a warning signal to stop gambling when you're out of control of your habits.

The companies are out to get profit but the business relies on a small percentage of big players. I have already shared in another post that 82% of sports revenue comes from 3% of punters. They also use deceptions like losses that disguise as wins, near-miss cues,  and other dark-pattern user-interface nudges to boost engagement.  Various gambling tools are also available to ensure responsibility, but are inconsistently imposed; limits, reminders, etc. are on hand, only if operators can make them convenient and enforceable.  Well yeah, personal responsibility is a factor, but you know the defense mechanisms automatically get weakened due to these design and business incentives.

The truth is, even if the warning is boldly written on the screen or if it's being displayed before the game starts, there are still many people that can not abstain from being compulsive and that is because they can not stop themselves from relying on gambling as a source of income and that part of what is causing their problems. The games that casino has are addictive already and it's the responsibility of a gambler to have self control.

I couldn't agree with you. Casino certainly noticed who is using the most platform and playing more gambling. And the casino easily understands which person is addicted to gambling the most. If you are gambling, you will understand. Those who make the most money deposits are the biggest offers. And they are mostly evaluated. Moreover, I never think gambling has been able to improve financially. And the casino never opens to improve the gamblers. Yes, it is exactly because of their own mistakes that people are addicted to gambling the most and we always have to remember that gambling can never increase money.

Gambling operation is a business just like every other, and as such, we can't exclude the fact that profit maximization will always be their top priorities, which can only be possible when people gambles and loses. But yet that still doesn't guarantee the fact that gambling casino wants gamblers to be addicted. Simply because nobody is been forced to gamble, but people do that simply because they want to take a risk, wagering a small sum with the intension of winning big. Which is why it's always advisable people gamble responsibly.

I see your friends point as a valid one despite you chose not to agree with him but that doesn't change any fact that gambling site want people to get addicted. They may appear nice and decent preaching to you to gamble responsibly and you feel because they have a good customer relationship or you think since they don't force you into it that they are innocent, well they need you to lose for them toake their money. If you don't lose they can never make money so now of which help are they rendition to those who got addicted if they so much care about their customers?

Yes, and this happens because basically players don't want to lose, and this causes them to want to win and recover what they've lost when they lose It's like a natural instinct that can't be set aside But since we're intelligent,  we must understand that these types of things will only lead us to ruin So, there are things that shouldn't be done.

It is a win win situation for casinos and gambling companies, if you like you can be addicted and if you like you can be responsible, in the end money will still flow out of your wallet into their bank account, you can't stop this.

Even if you become right responsible with gambling, it's just you out of millions of people who are not responsible with gambling, casinos don't need to pull any stunt on people to turn them into an addict. Right out of the book gambling is already something that anyone can turn addict for. Go and do your research very well, anything that can change anyones life can easily make people lose their heads, this is why ponzi schemes makes the most money out of the shortest times, it's also why meme coins are target for many audiences in crypto space.

Everything must return to the original purpose of gambling, which is to do business for the bookies, and we are merely objects in the profit chain owned by the bookies who operate gambling. So, in the end, it is clear that those who are involved in or make gambling their business expect huge profits from the players who participate in the gambling they have built.

The same applies to betting, as it is impossible for a site to be built and run if the goal is to benefit gamblers, because they are in business, not giving donations.
Despite the advice from casinos or gambling sites to play responsibly, they will not refuse when there are many gambling addicts involved in the gambling business they run, as this is obviously very profitable for them.

Because the natural tendency of humans makes them easily addicted to just seeing small opportunities offered to change their lives easily through winning, we can become responsible, but there are indeed more gamblers who currently never think about being responsible or are even unaware that they are addicted. What is understood is that they are chasing the winnings that are offered.

Betting companies are strictly out there for business, the Betting companies don't control you, except if you want them, you're in charge  or in control of whatever decision that you make while gambling, to get addicted or not get addicted because they don't force whatever your activities might be but only has a way to attract its customers or entice them patronize their platform.

To be a gambler is not for those that accept defeat at any point in time and this is where addiction comes in. The more you loose the more you would like to win and this continues until addiction sets in. Most times this addition is the reason it is difficult to stop even when you're loosing. I don't see winning as a reason for addiction because when someone is winning for a long time, it is natural to get scared of loosing. This makes a person who has been winning and eventually starts loosing to retrace and quit for the day. Gambling is a game of the mind and as long as you're able to bear the pain of loosing, every gambler has his pay day.

I used to own a betting outlet/shop some time ago, and though it didn't feel right but i did want people to lose more often because that way, i made more profit. so yeah, every casino owner wants to make more profit from their business, in order to cover their expenses, pay their workers and enrich themselves, and the only way they can do this when the players play more and lose more than they win. So when folks get addicted, they're kinda like the casino's best customers because they know just how much they benefit from them, so yeah, it's all in the favour of the house in the long run.

Addiction only make a person to gamble more irrespective of weather he wins or losses. He may not know when to stop or have the ability to stop himself from gambling due to the addiction which is like a strong force over him. Since gambling is such that the more you gamble the more your chances of losing increases, being addicted to gambling often end up in losses because even when you win but refuses to stop, you may give the money back along the line.

It is true that gambling repeatedly to recover lost money increases the risk of losing money. If you continue through this process regularly, the original purpose of gambling is not right. From my point of view, if you are really going to gamble for entertainment, it is very important for a person to have a prudent income. Gambling never works for the purpose of earning people's main money or getting rich quick. The wise always gamble only with with money they can afford to lose, we must understand that gambling can never be a part of a person's life. Therefore, a wise person does not gamble repeatedly to recover lost money by controlling greed.

Betting companies aren't pushing you to go broke and addicted but every business owners are all praying for constant patronage that way they can have much funds to tackle things as well as pay workers if need be, sometimes I use to wonder about this that they don't care but they do and that's why they are praying gamblers come back gambling, funny right?.

Easier said than done!!

If they wanted their players addicted it would mean free money and the alike to keep their players glued to the screen to for more game play but unfortunately that's not what happens. Whatever addiction that comes from gambling is and should be put on the player themselves,  losing control and blame others is for kids, that's why gambling is made for people above the years of 18 that are capable of making a sober decision..anything to do with addiction  shows the character of a player and thats greed. 

Yes, it is better not to blame gambling platforms for your addiction. Because they do not force anyone to gamble. Gamblers are addicted to gambling to recover their losses or for more profit. It is natural that gambling platforms will be interested in taking their profits. The platform will not advise anyone to abstain from gambling, so the gambler has to take this decision himself. If the gambler controls himself and gambles, then there is no possibility of him becoming addicted.

However, it is difficult to deny that casinos and bookmakers invest an unrealistically huge amount of money in their promotional campaigns, which are perfectly honed by analysts and psychologists to make these campaigns as effective as possible.
And this definitely has an impact on every gambler or bettor, but ultimately we make all the decisions ourselves, because the casino does not press the deposit button for us.

That's correct mate, casino companies are doing their business so that they can make money from it, but so many of them truly appreciate responsible gambling that's why so many of them do give gamblers the chances to restrict themselves from gambling. The truth is that they can not force you from gambling or stoping gamble, it all depends whether the gambler will gamble responsible or not.

I agree with your point that no gambling platform forces anyone to gamble - it’s entirely a personal choice. Gambling platforms are, after all, business entities with the primary goal of making a profit. However, I don’t believe they directly make someone addicted. What they do is simply provide a variety of games, and it’s up to the gambler to decide whether they can remain disciplined in their gambling activities so that it doesn’t turn into an addiction.

It is obvious that they objective of Casino gambling is to make a profit from their client I believe that there is no cash no platform who is ready for their customers to experience a constant winning in their platform because once you are winning once they are losing, and there is no casino platform who intend for their client or customers to stop participating in gambling because they are source of getting money is for you to be active in their platform

Actually they will not tell you to stop participating in gambling and they will not force you to participate in gambling but inside their mind which is their primary objective they need you to participate in Casino so that they will make a profit, this your consistent gambling with them that fetch them money often.

Yes, unfortunately, most gamblers who lose control of their bankroll and break their own limits for gambling become even more curious and challenged to gamble, starting with one round, then the next, and again until they completely lose all their money due to gambling. This is what causes more and more gamblers to become addicted to gambling because they are unable to manage their bankroll, manage and control their emotions and desire to gamble, and also have a difficult ability to stop the limits of bankroll management.

The main reason why most gamblers easily get addicted to gambling is because of lack of self control and greed. Those that really understand that gambling is a game of luck won't easily get addicted to gambling. This habit of always wanting to get back what they have lost won't really be there since they understand that luck may not always be on there side. I believe if people should always view gambling in the right light it will be difficult for someone to be addicted to gambling.

Well, you are right to a great extent, even though we can't actually read the minds of those who manage this casinos, it is definitely certain that some of them would secretly want some addicted gamblers as this is one way to ensure they are constantly making money..

But then, the casinos can't be blamed for addicted gamblers because it is solely our responsibility as gamblers to ensure that we never get addicted, and that we practice responsibe gambling at all times, those who gamble to the extent of getting addicted are those who are greedy for wins/profit, going for wins at all cost is what keeps a gambler gambling even when he or she should be resting, the casino can not blamed if and when such a gambler becomes addicted which will certainly happen if the gambler does not retrace his or her step on time..

We're intelligent but that intelligence that we have is going absurd when our emotions are high. And so, we lose that by the moment that we're in a deep losing streak and all we want is to take back our losses but it's not happening. With that emotion that's being triggered when we do it, that gives us the idea that we shouldn't be too emotional and even if we're intelligent and highly aware that we can be addicted if we lose our control needs to be done for as much as we can. Because if not, we should expect the worse on it.
