Should Casinos Sponsor Sites That Deals With Gambling Addiction

[Oilacris]

I'm just curious and would like to get the consensus of the community, should casinos sponsor sites that deal with gambling addiction and cure, we can't deny that the gambling addiction percentage is very high in this generation,

I just stumbled one site about gambling addiction it's a free help for those addicted to gambling, there are many more related sites and facilities.
Do you think it is the obligation of casinos online or offline?

It is casinos' way to repay those who put in a lot of money and get addicted or they shouldn't care because it's the gamblers' initiative to play.

They wont care. Why? The more addicted person or gambler which means that it would be more revenue to them. The only thing that they could really give or show is into those warning text and alerts
about gambling addiction or simply telling on having that moderation or suggestion but there's no other thing comes after that. They wont really be that doing on something that could really affect out their business on which it would really be just that normal that they would really be not putting up attention into those things that do really fights gambling addiction. It do really just turns out that they are really  just that shooting their own foot if they would be deciding on doing such thing. This is why with this kind of topic or recommendation then gambling sites or businesses wont really be doing something
stupid such as this. Gambling addiction is something that a self type of problem on which it would really be just that normal that you are the ones who do really need to resolve it out.

in the first place, they have no responsibility on giving such service to these addicted gamblers. they are here for business, so we can't really expect them to do such kind of initiative. but if they will participate on this kind of mission, why not? but they have no obligation to this because gamblers have their free will when they enter the casinos. it is not by no means a compulsory for them to enter. so they are responsible for themselves as well in getting out.

In my country (Italy) this is a sort of obligation of gambling operators that must always provide tools to fight gambling addiction.
They don't do it because they are "good people" but simply because it is a legal obligation no less, no more.

Years ago I had "an issue" with one of these legal sites in my country, and even though they clearly did not respect some limits, they simply ignored my request and never replied.
I didn't get an economic loss and decide to not waste time with judge/consumer association.....
 
Well, for what I have seen up to know, at least here on my country all these tools are only useful for law compliance and have only limited effectiveness on gambling addiction

If there would really be some sort of regulation then these business or platforms would really be creating one but its true they wont really be doing this naturally or with their own decisions just because they do care into those gamblers on becoming that addicted. Who the hell they care? As much as possible they would really be that taking advantage into those situations that people do become addicted and this is where they do much prefer that if possible people will really be that addicted on which means that they would really be spending up more and  this is really that a normal approach and target that they do really have in mind.
If thats the case in Italy on which theres some sort of imposing strict obligation then its good but only a few place would be having this kind of actions and the rest are just simply doing having no care.

If it isnt really that required or compulsory then pretty sure that they wont really be caring at all because its business and business do matters. Getting or having some concern into their gamblers
would really be not their priority. They are here for the sake of income and they dont care others situation if they get addicted, you are really that free on doing gambling
and you arent that forced on doing so.

It is another business to deal with the addicted to gambling, and even though casinos can sponsor this, it is not a must for them to be involved with these other companies because it is not their concern at times. Casino's who will choose to sponsor these other companies do it out of thoughtfulness and care.

The gambling generation was the toxic one in all the generation,it starts after the British had colonised the other country people.Now the crypto gambling also added the crispy to the online gambling.Because one night enough for the gambler to get millionaire or billionaire using the crypto based online gambling.But the tactics was the essential to have that big win,the winning is the easy one in the gambling.But the luck also made the gambler to get addicted to the gambling site.Gambler who choose the website for the escape from the gambling addiction will not work.Because the website may ask you to pay for it,instead gambler can try on his own for the gambling addiction.

I can't answer correctly regarding this thread. I mean, on the side of the casino platform itself. However, personally and even in general, there will be many responses that agree with this idea. However, the problem is, which casino will carry out the ideas you put forward in this thread. In fact, almost every licensed casino provides self-restriction, responsible gambling and other features.  In fact, they have followed every regulation stated in the license they have.

So, like members who make posts under your posts. should casinos be forced to sponsor sites that treat gambling addiction. So, the answer is I'm not sure. In fact, we can look for non-profit foundations that work to help gambling addicts. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, we have a thread discussing it. except, if every licensed casino is required by the relevant authority such as the government, licensing authority, or anything like that.
However, those who are licensed have a legal umbrella and carry out policies in accordance with those stated in their license. and I think, this idea really will not be realized. Even if there was a casino that was willing to become a sponsor, as you stated, I would really appreciate it, and that would be very cool.

I voted "No". Why would casinos sponsor sites that fight against gambling addiction? To ease their conscience? First of all, I think that people are strong enough to give up everything that harms them, and if they are not strong enough and need additional help the first step should be turning to the closest ones... not to some site!

Casinos are taxed, I guess a lot of good can be done with that money, but for casinos to directly sponsor sites and clinics for gambling addictions is a bit ridiculous. On one hand, they are trying to attract people to gamble and on the other, they are trying to move them away from gambling... maybe I'm wrong here, but it doesn't make sense to me.

Well, they are the related party so I reckon it's not that odd to see them supporting stuff there. In a sense what casinos want is a player who can stably gamble in a way that they can provide profits for a longer period of time. Addicts ain't like that, they're more of a one-hit (or a few) wonder that just stops abruptly after some point. Probably not the real reason why they did that, but hey, it made that one guy who supported it have a reason to push through with it.

If casinos were only giving say, support/financial money to assist gambling addiction cure websites/foundations, then maybe. But if they were providing adverts there? Hell nah then.

It's good but not that necessary since gambling sites shouldn't be the ones to blame for gambler's addiction.

Gambling sites don't need to fully help gamblers with addiction because that is something that should always be the responsibility of the gamblers.

These sites are businesses. They will just put the Gambling Responsibility tab on their site as usual.

[acroman08]

reading previous posts, it looks like there are governments that require casinos by law to donate to organizations that deal with gambling addiction, but I am pretty sure not all governments require casinos by law to do that. anyway, if the casino decides to sponsor a site that deals with gambling addiction, it could be a good look for them. also, apart from that casinos should strengthen their gambling addiction preventive measures.

[ralle14]

I had to vote for the third option because not all casinos are in a position to sponsor or donate to these sites. Then again, as the others have said, it's rare to see casinos go the extra mile on gambling addiction when most of them have links on where to seek help (GambleAware, GamCare, etc.). If the question is only limited to those big casinos, I would've changed my vote to "Yes" because there's no specific amount and these casinos would easily make back what they donated within a week or less.

As a casino, you want to give the impression to people that you care and that they matter. In the end we all know that the casino really only cares about making money. Every promotion they do is geared around getting people in the door. You can't blame them, it's a business and businesses have ti make money.

As far as sponsoring addiction sites, should they be required to? No, but a lot might be interested so that they look good in the eyes of the public.

Casinos doesn’t give a damn regarding the addiction. For them addiction and addicts are like bonuses who spend millions of dollars in their casino. They will do promotions where they have the potential to attract more customers. They won’t do these noble tasks to sponsor Gambling addiction centres or sites. We can’t blame them also to be honest, as we are the ones who needs to control ourselves and gamble responsibly.

[slapper]

Casinos sponsoring sites that help with gambling addiction? That's a subject that makes things move. As you can see, the rate of gambling addiction is really high. Furthermore, we cannot ignore that. It is real, it exists, and it is an issue. A big issue. So, should casinos be supporting these websites? Definitely, indeed. It's not just good PR; it's their responsibility. They get paid enormous sums of money by regular gamblers. Thus, it is only fitting that they return the favor. And a lot, not just a little. These websites ought to be receiving a flood of funding. They owe it to individuals who are incapable of helping themselves to assist in lowering the rate of addiction. It's not about the gamblers' decision to play; rather, it's about the casinos' decision to give a damn. And they should care. A lot

On point! Why would the casino have a concern for other people? They are just there to earn; they are just doing their business. If someone gets addicted, it's not their fault at all. And I agree; I don't judge them, but people getting addicted to their platform and gambling recklessly is a bonus to them. That's the sad reality: business is business; they don't have a damn concern for who's playing their platform.

Gamblers are the ones that choose to gamble and play on their platform, so getting addicted is made by themselves as well, so don't give the idea that casino platforms are at fault for this issue. There will be no addicts if they choose not to. I don't like the idea that many people think that casino platforms, either online or offline, are the cause of the addiction, but it's not they who choose that; if they suffer, then let them learn their lesson.

[Strongkored]

As long as casinos, both offline and online, are not required to do so, they will not do it, and usually in online casinos there will be information about gamblers responsible which provides all the information including about self-exclusion as well as about problems in gambling, but are there any players who are willing to read about this? especially new gamblers, so they become aware and gamble with full caution? I don't think there is, and casinos might be willing to sponsor when there are obligations such as implementing KYC which is widely opposed and it is very possible that casinos don't want to implement KYC but the regulations make them have to do it.

[ethereumhunter]

It is not the casino's obligation to help those who are addicted to gambling so that they can cure their gambling addiction. Those who are addicted to gambling make their own mistakes because they cannot control themselves in gambling and instead spend most of their time gambling and do not pay attention to the dangers they can get from gambling. Maybe the casino could provide that site and always make it clear to all gamblers that the responsibility lies with the individual gambler. Casinos only provide a place to play various gambling games and casinos also always remind gamblers to be responsible gamblers. After all, casinos do not ask gamblers to continue gambling, but it is the greed of gamblers that makes many gamblers end up addicted to gambling.

[moneystery]

casinos should have a sense of responsibility to support the facilitation of overcoming gambling addiction or a psychiatrist as their responsibility for the impact of their services. just like what cigarette companies do, where as a form of their responsibility to society, companies usually donate a certain amount of money for health facilitation or things related to health.

it is true that this addiction is not the sole responsibility of the casino, but they must take part in being able to provide services to users who are addicted and they should have a conscience regarding this matter.

[Negotiation]

Casinos usually operate gambling games but if a person becomes addicted then it is the lack of control of the person. Addictive gambling is the creation of an impossible and uncontrollable need in the mind for gambling. It is extremely difficult to remain unfulfilled this demand cannot be controlled in any way the addicted person wants to satisfy those needs at any cost and wants to gamble. It would be great if the casinos take steps to overcome the addiction but casinos usually don't take such steps or it may take a long time. If gambling addiction is treated well you will regain control over yourself along with that there will be an opportunity to regain the lost honor meaning social establishment profession.
