Should online gambling companies be responsible for harm related activities?

[LogitechMouse]

Nope they aren't.

First of all, they aren't forcing people to gamble but the people themselves are getting attracted into it thus they are trying to gamble.
Second, these harm related activities that the gamblers are doing are out of scope of what they company or the casino is offering for them. They are just offering entertainment and possible money and not healthcare services.

All of these harm related activities are the results of the gambler spending too much money on gambling. If the gambler only knows how to control his spending and being responsible into gambling then it will not come to a point where he will do activities that can cause harm to him or the other people.

I don't think they should still be the one who is responsible for that. They shouldn't be the ones who will control gambling addiction but it's our responsibility as gamblers. We're responsible for every action that we take so we must learn how to control things especially if we know the consequences. We should know how to control ourselves in too much gambling so we'll never fall into addiction.

All the claims for this CSR are just for the papers. No one is going to blame or sue them after all it's going to be harder to take it to court knowing addicted gamblers will likely have no credibility.

What they could only do are just the likes of self-exclusion and popup advice which they could say is a way of preventing or minimizing the harm associated with their activities. That's it. But traditional Casinos must be different I guess.

It's similar to asking if gambling companies be held responsible for gamblers who go as far as stealing to satisfy their hunger for gambling. Every one should be held accountable for their actions. If a gambler gets addicted he/she should self-exclude his/her self possibly get counselling. Gambling companies never forced anyone into gambling and as such shouldn't be held responsible in any way

Your Life your Decision thats it right?

So why when you become addicted you will Blame the company that only let you use to sustain your activities?

No they are not Liable for anything outcoming of our gambling addictions.

[Peanutswar]

I don't think so still they need to cope with this kind of problem at the first part the gambling companies release regulation and agreement to their organization and responsibilities of the player to read all of those terms but sure mostly some of the players does not read those sure even on us we don't read too much regarding with the terms of agreement and the FAQ. In terms of gambling, it's all about the responsibility of the player. If you are a focus earner mindset do you really care about the people who are giving money to your organization I guess not? If you are a responsible person having management and seeing that this person is already in debt for sure you will prohibit them for a while.

Our life is our responsibility and we can not blame the gambling company if something happens to us. When we decide to gamble, that will be our time monitoring and always taking care of ourselves. Otherwise, we can lose all of our money because we can not control our curiosity about gambling. Moreover, playing gambling is not a suggestible activity for people who have much free time. People should know that if they are playing gambling, online or offline, they need to manage the money and prevent the big loss because if they forgot to do that and the worst is they become addicted, that will be their own mistake.

[peter0425]

It is not their problem if you become addicted because from the very beginning it is you that come to their site without force or misleading.

Meaning all of your action is based on your own decision and none to be blamed but you.

Yeah that is why there must be a limit on how much a gambler can spend in His activities for a certain time and that is what gambling site must declare.

[magneto]

I think that companies should definitely offer things like self-exclusion to their clients. And they also have a degree of responsibility for sure when it comes to enforcing these self-exclusion orders when they come from the clients themselves.

However, there is only so much that they can possibly do when it comes to these things.

You can't expect them to physically chase up people and ensure that they are not gambling. It just doesn't work.

Precisely, gambling establishments or online gambling sites is out of a control in the possible harm that a player may get especially if it is external issues they will only be sued if there are issues related to the services of the gambling companies. Also, the control of the player lies between his decisions and self control if the main concern of the harm related activities let say corresponds to committing a crime or being admitted as gambling addict. This issues can be controlled only by the players and note that this gambling establishments didn't force anyone to join though it is a pleasure for the gambling business to get many players engaged in their business activities.

[robelneo]

Even if they are implementing and abide by the rules of social responsibility (CSR) practices they cannot control how gamblers behave when they are playing, gambling sites cannot stop or limit how much they deposit and how long they want to play, because they will just go to competitors, if they do that, they can only remind players but it's up to gamblers if they are going to follow it, gambling sites can only do much, it's up to us to set up our limitation and become a responsible gambler.

Casinos didn't force people to play they came on their own will so its not obligation for casino to take responsible to any harm to anyone since  the one  they offer is entertainment and its just there are gamblers abuse theirselves and sold all their assets or worst they stole money  just to  gamble. Self control is really  needed here that's why before going here we need to set some stop point and practice ourselves to not exceed on the amount we set so that we can live a better life entertained in gambling.

^ I am thinking on what I bolded above, what if a gambling site sends to user notification saying that it is exceeded with the daily maximum deposit and exceeds 6-8 hours per day. I don't see or heard of a gambling site like this, if there is, that is a very impressive way of concern for possible harm. But the fact they don't care, as long as they earn money, that is fine for them even you have to log in 24 hours a day and deposit thousands of dollars per day. Nevertheless, all of these were depend on our self-control or how to control our temper.

Before deciding to play online gambling, we will be directed to read the terms and conditions by all gambling sites. That means we have agreed
to everything that will happen to us when playing on the gambling site, so online gambling is indeed not responsible for the dangers that will arise
if we play gambling. After all, I agree that there is no online gambling that forces gamblers to play on their platform. So make sure we are ready
to face the various risks that will occur when playing online gambling. As long as we are able to limit the amount of money we will use when
playing gambling, and consider gambling only for entertainment. We should not experience things that endanger ourselves when playing online gambling.

Have these companies taken any steps to minimize the harm related to online gambling?  Is their CSR functional? Not all bet sites encourage responsible gambling because they rely on revenue from the losses of  gambling addicts. My question is, should online gambling companies be responsible for the harm related to their activities because of their current failures in the implementation and control of CSR policies?

I don't think so, if you will charge them for being responsible there will be no casino standing right now, a gambler has the warning sign when he agreed before he joins the campaign, we are not kids playing here, we are adults who should be responsible on all our activities, a gambler should play responsibly he owed it to himself and to his family to do that.

[Jackl87]

Most online gambling companies claim that they are ethical providers who are committed to corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices.

They propose,  that their CSR are targeted at preventing or minimizing the harm associated with their activities. However,  we are aware that those who are severely addicted to gambling have shown several mental and physical health, social relationships and academic and work performance issues.

This is a rather difficult question, which I don't think can be answered with a clear "yes" or "no". As far as I know, the dangers of gambling must be pointed out and this is also implemented by the reputable online casinos and I think that's all you can ask of the casinos. What else should they do? Automatically log out the user as soon as he has gambled for more than 4 or 5 hours? I think everyone is ultimately responsible for being sensible and not slipping into an addiction, no matter what hobby they pursue.
I mean, food companies aggressively promote sweets, even though they are known to be harmful to people. So we should not demand more from casinos than from other companies.

No business would really pop out if there would be some complaints nor have some issues about for them about being responsible about users lives when they do gambling.

This is actually a self decision which it isnt just right that they would really took the blame since they are just doing business.Its for entertainment and of course with money but to think of that

this is really just for entertainment or leisure time.It is just that people cant just resist on to play more and become addicted.If you dont have that good self control then you would really
easily get hooked with this problem.

Wouldnt really be just right that they would really took the blame.

[Fesatmas]

Isn't there anyone forcing someone to come and gamble spending all their money and then in the end the site being just the service provider is blamed? just because they didn't take precautions to prevent the players' addiction?
Does CSR have to be responsible and take care of individual things that arise from the interests of players to this extent?

[palle11]

Have these companies taken any steps to minimize the harm related to online gambling?  

That is why almost all outfit that is involved with exchange of money for service has a term and condition which a customer is required to read, understand and sign up on if they so desire to continue. Remember they are in for business.

Not only outfit that does with money but even companies, you have to read and accept the terms and condition before going further in registration. So for gambling, it is the responsibility of the gambler and there family  to put a check on the addict.

[AicecreaME]

I don't think they are the one that has responsibility on that.

We are all aware that gambling could affect us negatively or positively before we even play, and gambling sites never forgot to warn us about it either. It is us who should be taken care of ourselves in everything we do, if we want to play gambling then we should be prepared to lose something. It's so immature to engage on something crucial when it comes to money yet if we lose we will put the blame on the other party.
