Bet Responsibly Campaign

[uneng]

This kind of campaign is always welcome and very necessary in gambling universe, because not every gamblers are aware about the risks and consequences a bad behavior and mindset can cause them on long run. In my opinion gambling platforms feel on their shoulders the weight of potential addiction their businesses may trigger in some people, so they partner with similar companies to take action against the problem, investing part of their profit on it. That is an admirable action from them.

I just hope this campaign and another ones of the same kind don't use the "responsible betting" slogan against crypto casinos, discouraging gamblers from exploring this side of gambling universe.

I just hope this campaign and another ones of the same kind don't use the "responsible betting" slogan against crypto casinos, discouraging gamblers from exploring this side of gambling universe.

This is the most used slogan I hope they can come up with a new slogan that will suit the Crypto gambling casino, where every player can relate to and gambling casino operators will accept.

They should do this continuously and monitor the progress of the campaign this will help the industry and the new players from addiction, looking forward to an update on this ad campaign.

[ShowOff]

Gambling is an activity that is synonymous with societal ills, so there are many obstacles that will affect the success of the campaign program. I'm not sure the level of success achieved through the campaign is in line with the expected target, but maybe such a campaign is really useful for those who live where gambling is legal. Yes it targets gambling addicts, but without self-awareness and encouragement from those around you then addiction may be difficult to treat.

Almost all the sites I've visited so far remind us to gamble responsibly. This means that there is something that gamblers must do to avoid a severe addiction that can lead to various problems ranging from economic, social, health problems to family problems. So everything needs consideration.

[ralle14]

Not just some gamblers. Majority of the problematic gamblers would probably not reveal to their friends and family that they are already addicted and are losing big. So friends and family should know how to read the signs.

I agree, accepting their addiction is one of the hardest part since it involves changes and others are probably afraid that if they tried to reveal their gambling issue it could potentially tarnish their reputation and relationship between their family and friends.

That's a good question, but I think you are right, people who have never win anything are less likely to get addicted than people who have won big prizes. When you've made good profits I think you start to think you can be lucky again and win bigger prizes than those you've earned until now.

This is somewhat true, I remember there was a comparison about a scenario where one gambler starts winning several times in a row compared to the second gambler who lost it all.

This kind of campaign is always welcome and very necessary in gambling universe, because not every gamblers are aware about the risks and consequences a bad behavior and mindset can cause them on long run.

Indeed, with better campaign those people will be able to understand the high potential that may harmed them both financially and mentally, a campaign drive that will bring knowledge to have more responsible gamblers instead of letting those people to dive dip and unable to rise back.

In my opinion gambling platforms feel on their shoulders the weight of potential addiction their businesses may trigger in some people, so they partner with similar companies to take action against the problem, investing part of their profit on it. That is an admirable action from them.

An admirable action if they do really feel the guilt. There are some who are partnering just to gain attention, an act that will drive more interest and bring them more gamblers to play, and a possibility of getting into addictions.

I just hope this campaign and another ones of the same kind don't use the "responsible betting" slogan against crypto casinos, discouraging gamblers from exploring this side of gambling universe.

Newer and updated slogan that will give heads up into responsible gaming, not just the same one that annoyed people and forget about taking it seriously.

Hopefully.
Some gamblers would just prefer to keep silent on this. They won't take the new step to acquire help even if they knew what's going on.
I hope that this campaign is not just about waiting for them to come. It should be the other way around and they should be able to reach out.
Being shy about it will also be the issue, we cannot minimize the gambling addiction if they won't even visit. Friends and relatives will play a big a part in this if they knew what's going on with whoever they knew that has a gambling problem.
I think this is cool, if we are unable to stop them then just offer a plan.

The addicted gamblers who will voluntarily come for help deserve it, I guess they have learned the lessons.
The gamblers who do not come are the gamblers who need to experience the consequences first before they could realize they needed help. The people who learned their lessons the hard way are actually the people who most likely will succeed to change their vision and overcome gambling addiction.

[Masplanc]

This is very nice educating people about gambling  ,it will teach one how to go about gambling and how to manage fund

[XCANA]

This program will benefit many gamblers, especially those who are educated and understand the implications of exceeding the limit.
It's strange how people who are unaware of the consequences of gambling usually seem to get lucky in gambling, since the curious are always so cautious in their approach but then, they loose everything just overnight.

This is a nice program at least for those who are addicted to gambling. I wonder why and how people can easily become addicted in playing gambling s it because they are making good money from playing gambling or is it that they have anything to think about again. I started playing gambling since 2017 and I am not addicted to it. Is it because am yet to make a huge money from playing gambling or what lol.

It's natural to become addicted to anything, especially if you're the greedy kind, it's not because they make money from the casino, the responsible gambler ones play too and it doesn't occur to them, they do it for the fun of it during their leisure time.

I don't believe there is anything natural for one to be addicted to gambling as one of the factor mentioned iny previous submission most lead to addiction. It seems like you don't know much about what is addiction and how it can happen to someone please read this reply from people who know more about factors that influence addition here

Good to know that you mentioned "if you are greedy" in your submission and that alone will take care of your word "natural". To be greedy in playing gambling it can simply means you must have made some money and you want to make more and that process will lead to addiction.

[Oshosondy]

this campaign may not help those who are already gambling addicts, but for those who are just starting, this will be a good avenue for them how to track their gambling journey. let's just appreciate the effort of this organization by reaching out to gamblers or potential gamblers via this program. i believe a lot of people have changed their gambling habits during this pandemic, some got worst while others may have totally avoided their games. but anyway, such initiatives like this is needed by some people. so take this as good opportunity to track your gambling activities.

It is not easy for gambling addicts to change, they will think of winning and thinking they are unique and yet lose and lose often over time. This is a very good but the foundation of what is making humans to gamble needs to be tackled, it is now easy for gambling companies to advertise on TV channels that even kids are watching daily which ought not to be, gambling should not be advertised in this way, gambling should not even be taken to TV channels. Preventing this can also be good but also finding solution to what can help gambling addicts is also nice while also few people that have not yet started gambling can learn this and know how to control gambling than gambling controlling them.

It is definitely hard to change a person from the thing that he used to do if the person has no initiative to change himself first. But good thing that there's an organization which puts those gamblers in top of the interest. Let's appreciate the initiative of the organization which is not only a big help for every one who has already a gambling habits but also to those who just started in gambling journey, this kind of campaign is just a reminder to each and every gamblers and bettors to become more responsible.

[lienfaye]

This is a nice campaign to spread awareness and can give knowledge especially to new gamblers to not let themselves to become addicted in gambling.

But being responsible on our actions will depend on each of us, even we are aware of the risk and the consequences, sometimes we tend to forget this warnings and follow what we desire and that is to continue to gamble.

I think it will be more effective if they have deep intervention to addicted gamblers and not just a campaign that any gamblers can ignore if they want to.

[tomahawk9]

these campaigns are fucking dumb af

Anyone watched that South park episode called "Freemium"? in this ep they creators made a commercial to make fun of the alcohol industry and their shitty campaigns. Check out the video (replace the word "drink" with "bet", works the same for the betting industry with their ads)

Hopefully, more and more gamblers can take responsibility for their money and themselves so the addiction among the people can reduce. And people will know that placing a bet in sports betting is fun but they must prevent becoming addicted to gambling.

More programs like this can help people have a responsibility to themselves and help them manage the budget and time to avoid the worst scenario that can happen to them.

It is a clear picture that the government of the United States has the interest of its citizens at heart and with a campaign as this many would get sensitized on the dangers of gamble addiction and how it can ruin ones carrier and also give them full control of both their emotions and their resources. Its a nice initiative and I do hope it comes out positive

[ethereumhunter]

If they are really serious with their campaign, they will try to educate as many people as possible and will not stop from that. I think the authority can see that this program can really help people solve their gambling problems and for other people to know how to treat gambling. Hopefully, the authority will support that program and help their people recover their lives from gambling. The government can also make another campaign to help to educate people about the danger of playing gambling.

One more campaign about Bet Responsibly launch by Entain and Rush Street Interactive (RSI) has partnered with the American Gaming Association’s (AGA). That campaign is trying to educating sports fans and the core principles of responsible gambling. We know that many gamblers become addicted to gambling, so hopefully, this program can help them resolve their problem to be more responsible in gambling.

This will only get favored to the most gamblers who like to play, isn't that right?
it can help to everyone if they win the games, but if not, of course it not helpful, instead,
it giving them a bitter due to loss of their fund in the gambling games. But if you are addicted unto
it, even you loss most often that doesn't matter anyway.

I agree with what you've said because there are numerous addiction treatment centers, the majority of which are still operational today. The problem is that some victims of gambling addiction refuse to seek help because they prefer to handle things on their own. So I hope that the campaign is more than simply waiting for them to arrive; it should be more interactive and well-known in the public so that everyone is aware of it and those who are close to a gambling addict can assist him by approaching them and hoping that the campaign could act fast.

The purpose of the campaign won't reach its full extent if other people won't participate and help the organization or institution that started the campaign.. Gamblers will stay away on this that's why if there's a person who knows some gamblers that already addicted to gambling, tell the institutions so that they can reach out to the gambler. Everyone should cooperate and not just rely on the goal of the campaign. Closest family and friends are the one that can see and noticed first if there's an unusual changes to that person who are into gambling.

[newwest]

The onus lies on oneself to be responsible of their own actions be it gambling or another thing as well. If one cannot control themselves then the end may be near in many ways as its such a addition that people come on roads if not prevented at right time and gets addicted to it.

[fiulpro]

There are a lot of things one has to consider when you are into Gambling. Some people are unaware of the probelm as well and some people are delusional. The first part would be getting aware of the situation.
Being aware means you have to understand the first signs of problems with gambling. Here is an interesting questionnaire one can take, taken from nhs.uk :

Are you a problem gambler?
Try this questionnaire:

Do you bet more than you can afford to lose?
Do you need to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same feeling?
Have you tried to win back money you have lost (chasing losses)?
Have you borrowed money or sold anything to get money to gamble?
Have you wondered whether you have a problem with gambling?
Has your gambling caused you any health problems, including feelings of stress or anxiety?
Have other people criticised your betting or told you that you had a gambling problem (regardless of whether or not you thought it was true)?
Has your gambling caused any financial problems for you or your household?
Have you ever felt guilty about the way you gamble or what happens when you gamble?
Score 0 for each time you answer "never"
Score 1 for each time you answer "sometimes"
Score 2 for each time you answer "most of the time"
Score 3 for each time you answer "almost always"

If your total score is 8 or higher, you may be a problem gambler.

The second step would be acceptance and looking for help, you can actually do that through various online websites, most of them are available for free, even on websites like Roobet. We have an option to directly get redirected on the website for example gamcare etc, you will also have an option to talk with national landlines as well.

This is an important issue one have to address and be responsible for their own actions as well. Awareness and responsibility are the two important things that a Gambler should always have.

A good initiative most certainly. It happens a lot of time when the gamblers don't understand their addiction when it becomes a part of their lifestyle. Providing information and psychological help certainly helps the gamblers beat the blues and come back to normal life. Most importantly the mental support is needed for the gamblers to come out of their addiction. Hopefully this association between RSI and AGA will do their part with integrity and help a lot of addicted gamblers to come back to normal life.
