Blame Game in gambling

[dunfida]

I already commented on this in a past post, people shouldn't blame gambling sites or real world or even online casinos because the responsibility to use money and play is the person's, it's not the casino's responsibility to say how each person should use his money and how he should manage his private life, that needs to be clear. in all casinos or anything related to gambling they put in the TOS that minors are prohibited from using the casinos or gambling sites and the reason is quite simple: all people over 18 are adults responsible for themselves . Now about the issue of minors playing, this issue is the responsibility of the child's parents, not the casinos' responsibility

Agreed, at the end of the day people should only gamble a small amount of their money which they can afford to lose, how people expect the casino to know that the money they are betting is in fact money they need to pay a debt or something  like that?

The only way for casinos to know this would be to put them in control of your finances and allow them to take a decision of how much you can spend when you gamble, does this makes sense? Of course not, but this shows us the level of responsibility that will need to be handed to the casinos so they could limit the amount of money their gamblers can bet with them in a more effective way, and since this is not going to ever happen then the responsibility to do this belongs to the gamblers and no one else.

Gambling businesses isnt a charity that would be minding off mainly with your finances which is of course they wouldnt really be putting any limit on how much you can spend unless if you do literally asked or made out

some request for it but if not then sky is the limit on how much you could spend out and since this is business then they would really prefer on making people do spend even more.
You are the ones who should be blamed because of the actions that you had made out and  not the casino.

I think everyone should be responsible for their actions. He was not dragged at gunpoint to the casino. He went there quite deliberately.

A weak person is more likely to blame someone else for his problems than to take responsibility for his own actions and begin to deal with those problems.

Fine. I would like all "accusers" of the gambling or any other industry to have a sense of common sense and reason like you. It must be remembered that "care" for a person who has free will often turns into totalitarianism and violates his rights. But unfortunately there are always more weak people and they set the trend. It is very easy to blame someone for the consequences of your own decision and demand compensation (LOL).

Gambling addiction for an underage may have high responsibility on the parent, it's has become hard for parents to control the actions of their kids and since we are in the computer age kids have access to games through many means.

There's a study that when kids have been into technology at an early age, it could lead them to brain damage. Well, the actual damage isn't all about damaging the brain all along but about the change of attitude which will make them angry if they can't get what they want like for this purpose.
There could really be some short coming from the parents but it's not always the case for the others.

Heartbroken parents say Hull teacher was victim of 'predatory' gambling industry. Whom to blame for this sad incident ?

Why not try to find the root cause here first. Where were the parents when their 16 years old son was addicted to gambling ? They should have monitored his activities and this situation would not have raised. You cannot blame the doctors on insufficient medical treatments when the son could have be taught at home to avoid excessive gambling. I would consider it a negligence on parents behalf as it was their first duty to keep an eye on their children.

At some point the individual has to bear some responsibility.  Sure, gambling away all your money is a bad thing, but I'm sure the kid did it thinking he was going to get rich or something.  There are just no shortcuts to wealth unfortunately.  Those who try, whether that be from gambling, prostitution, selling drugs, or various other crimes, are usually disappointed.  I think trying to find someone to blame isn't always the most beneficial thing.  Maybe it was his teacher, parents, friends, or some advertising campaign that led to this problem.  Who knows?  One thing I do know is that resisting temptation is part of the human experience.  Those who fail are often left with consequences from their actions.  Sometimes the blame falls on the individual.
