Should Casinos Sponsor Sites That Deals With Gambling Addiction

[coolcoinz]

It's good for the casino to do it. Warms the image, helps get green lights from the government, gives the casino something to brag about in ads, and of course keeps the community healthy. That's of course as long as we believe the sites work, because personally I think they don't. Support groups might be a bit better.

I saw someone saying here that casinos benefit from gambling addictions so they don't want to sponsor those sites. I don't see it that way.

Casinos benefit from steady income. Addiction can ruin lifes and budgets to the point, that at some point those people won't be giving any income.
In fact they could have an opposite effect as they act as a warning and could turn and speak against gambling.

The way I always understood addiction is that an addict will continue to struggle and look for ways to satisfy his needs, even at the expense of work, family, friends, health, and all the rest you can think of.
If they lose money to the point of starvation, when they finally get food, they'll again try to satisfy addiction. Having an addict as a client may statistically be more profitable than having a casual gambler.

This might seem so nice for academic purposes only but in reality, they might not be committed to such project. They might consider the capital burden it will be on them and marry it with the benefit to their business and this will make them abandon such project. Casinos are not struggling to appear good before the government because they already got licenses and doing their business within the dictates of the law.

On the other hand, they will quickly reference their terms and conditions that already cover things like this even though people hardly read these terms and conditions when registering.

That is not the kind of thing they should be enforced to, but voluntary do, because they think it's an important contribution for society and a portion of their customers who may develop an addiction. Let it up to each casino to decide and you will see if they really care about this issue.

Moreover, an enforcement of this rule would be hard to put in practice, since we are talking about worldwide gamblers playing at online casinos. How such funds would be invested? In which countries? How would the efficiency of the treatment reach gamblers from different regions in real time and at same time?

I think a virtual treatment for addiction doesn't have the same impact of a physical one.

It does not. Even the hotlines where you could just talk to a rehabilitaion dude, I dont think that is helpful enough to a gambling addict.

Voluntary. I actually wanted them to mandate this kind of stuff about the gambling addiction. They are making loads of money so why not just share them.
About the receivable funds that gambling site's will give, it may be difficult to do it because of their international business but there is always a solution for this. Pick an international gambling addicts helper too, I bet there are organizations like this.
The only problem I could see when it comes to physically helping is if these international organizations lack offices on every country. But there is also a solution to that. Meetings on Zoom or Skype. It might not work one on one with the organization but they have higher chance to help them when gambling addicts speaks to another for a change. I mean who knows, other addicts (alcohol, sex) might already have been helping them this way. Talking to someone who have the same experiences might become their mentor instead of just reading books/listening one on one that is boring in this era.

Whether or not it is mandatory to sponsor it, I don't know if there are regulations that require it, but so far I have never heard that there are regulations that require it, but maybe in countries that legalize gambling it could be, but in my opinion it is just an initiative of the casino's concern to reduce gambling addiction, because it is very alarming if you look at the statistics of gambling addiction and it is also very sad if someone is addicted to gambling.

As for requiring it, I think it's just a concern of the gambling platform if indeed they want to sponsor it so that it can run well and can deal with the problem of gambling addiction.

That is also nice for marketing purpose, it's telling the society; "we don't want to rob you, we just want to provide a place to have fun". in business, spending money on something not directly related to the business is not always considered as a loss, it's also an investment. big business need to have good sentiment from public, especially an already unlikeable business.

[Findingnemo]

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.

First of all, it helps related addiction, and they are supposed to have one due to the regulations.

For example, toll-free service is provided by the government itself and the number can be found on the packets themselves and in some countries it is mandatory to have a picture of cancer but you know that the efficiency of such is zero and no one is utilizing those services in my experience.

Hmm, I don't know... It seems so difficult. There is also the language barrier. Online casinos have customers from many different countries and many of those gamblers can speak only on their native languages. English is a well known universal language and could be used to treat all addicted through Zoom and Skype meetings, however we have this issue that many people don't have a foreigner language. And it must be really expensive to hire a translator for the different dialects of the world.

It's understandable there is a concern about helping addicted gamblers, but I think it can be done more efficiently locally, through measures introduced by the local governmemts and institutions on each country.

Yes, it's not even mandatory to sponsor it because that would definitely conflict with the vision and mission of the casino owner who of course prefers many addicts to get their money all the time, after all the casino will not have money apart from these addicts, believe me it is the addicts who provide it. money to the casino so how can the casino sponsor a site that could possibly help cure gambling addicts to leave the casino and stop gambling.

I think it will be hard to accept but here is the fact that casinos will go bankrupt if many addicts recover from their addiction then they leave gambling then who will play in casinos, it will sound strange, but it all comes back to the awareness of casino owners maybe they want to reduce it a little little by little but certainly not many casinos will want to do it or fund it as sponsors.

I have never seen anything that requires a gambling platform or a casino to sponsor or fund gambling addiction but still there are some casino and online gambling platforms who do. They may sponsor or even provide seminars as how gambling addiction can affect a person but still it's really not that effective as these casinos only advertised them as a initiative to prove their gamblers that they care to attract more gambler.

[sokani]

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.

The casino did not have a gun to your head and forced you to gamble. You choosed to gamble and if along the way you get addicted, it's your sole responsibility to fix yourself. It's not the obligation of the casino and that doesn't mean they cannot sponsor the treatment of gamblers in rehabs, they can but it should be at their own freewill.

Though, I don't really see the reason why they've to be cleaning up addicted gamblers when they will be sending others to the same hole. Maybe it's another way of saying that they care about their players.

[Saisher]

It should not be mandated but voluntary on the part of the casino, some casino believes that the responsibility to remain a responsible gambler is on the gambler, they have done their part by installing in their system that flags account that is verified to be gambling irresponsibly and they also added a self-exclusion feature for those who have a hard time controlling their urge.
With these two features, they believe that they have done their part in the gambling community, to help their players to cope with their addiction.

I don't think that the casino obligation and I've never heard of or seen casino that has program like that to help gambling addicts.
First of all, what I will say is that casinos were established to do business and make money by providing various games or bets for gamblers, so any risks or impacts from gambling are not the responsibility of the casino.
Whether the gambler is addicted or goes bankrupt, these are all risks that the gambler must accept and must resolve themselves the casino does not need to pay or give anything as form of appreciation or anything just because the gambler has spent lot of money.

But still in my opinion, this is not an obligation and there is no need to sponsor something like that because it would also be in vain because efforts to recover from gambling addiction can only be successful with the attitude of the gambler himself, whether he is truly enthusiastic about recovering or not.

[CryptSafe]

I think casinos should not be compelled to do such but be allowed to do such at free will because they are just a business organisation responsible for rendering of services to their consumers and the gamblers are liable for their own act. Ii f a gambler chooses to get addicted that is their own cup of tea and the casino should not be brought into it. Every individual is matured enough to make or take their own decisions and nobody is forced to do so. That is why it is advised that from the age of 18 and above can gamble because at that age anyone gambling is a matured adult that knows his or her right. So therefore, I see no reasons why casinos should be held to such ransom of sponsoring a site that deals with gambling addiction. Although they make benefits from addicted gamblers but that does not mean they should compelled to do so after all gamblers are old enough to know when to call it a day when gambling rather than gambling away their life at casinos.

[dothebeats]

Depends on how they want their marketing strategy to work.

This is a double-edged sword for the casino who will look to sponsor organizations that helps people with gambling addiction. One, they might come off as hypocrites and people will stop supporting them. You can't really talk peace and have a gun armed and cocked, ready to shoot at any moment's notice. Two, people will regard them as someone who just makes money off cleanly and are not, in any way, intentionally rob people's money by flinging them into the wrong direction. They can be viewed as an entity who is just running a business which happens to cause addiction to people, and so they 'help' in the good cause by sponsoring organizations that actually help these afflicted individuals.

No matter which direction the casino takes, they will still make money at the end of the day, though through sponsoring these organizations, they have a chance to be regarded in a positive way rather than just sitting on the sidelines and passively taking people's money off of their pockets.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Well, actually this would be a great idea for a caisno to show his face and oppose doing better things, this would undoubtedly be the best option, however people can see it from another point of view, because some who don't know what it's like In reality, they can say that the casinos are to blame for gambling addiction, others understand that those who are addicted to gambling are their own fault, and the casino that cooperates with these Organizations will Obviously have things Differently for them. because when they see others who Cooperate with these organizations it can give the impression that they are well Committed and that they can make a difference and that it is an honest casino and that it can be at the level of doing things well, and if a particular casino does it they will do it others, but only with the exception of doing things for what someone else is doing , these things can happen , but it is up to them if they want to do them.

For me, as far as I am Concerned , I think it is a great option to do it, otherwise I think that if they do it just to gain points over others, it is a hidden marketing strategy that can be possible, in other words, it is not acceptable. Furthermore, they can do it and thus take a much higher rate in the future and it is in the true range of doing things better, if I were the Owner of a casino I would do it, but I would do it disinterestedly without Publishing it, I think it would have more merit and whoever discovers it, already knows that they have done it only for the best intention of all, and if we go to this type of things, then all casinos must be committed to the issues of addiction, with helping and being as responsible as possible with this matter, because addiction is something that can affect and is Affecting many at this moment, and the idea is that people will only get rid of this problem, as long as in the end it is What is Interesting is that people at the end of the day leave happy After Spending the day and not with problems.

The responsibility should be on the gambler's side because the casino only provides a place to have fun. If gamblers cannot be responsible and end up becoming addicted, they are to blame. Casinos have added self-exclusion features for gamblers so that they remember that gambling is not a place to make money. But apparently, gamblers want to make money until they forget to control themselves and become addicted to gambling. If gamblers could control themselves, of course, there would be no problem with gambling addiction, and everything would still be fine while people could still gamble in their spare time. That is why we must always control ourselves when gambling so that we do not become addicted to gambling.

just as everybody has said, helping those addicted to gambling should be a voluntary action and not an obligation vested on any casinos, reason been that by virtue that casino provided a conducive atmosphere for gambling, that doesn't mean they are to be blamed when people goes astray/gets addicted due to lack of self control, allowing themselves to be carried away by greed, because one thing I have noticed to be a major cause of addiction, is lack of self control, which means that if only people can be self conscious at all times, the rate at which people get addicted to gambling will drastically deduce.

Indeed that would depend with casino’s initiative whether to help those projects or not. It won’t be one sided ‘coz if they would help gambling addicts to recover they’d have a good image in this industry that they are concerned with their players. Also, recovered individuals from gambling addiction aren’t all quitting gambling for good but some are having moderation of the gambling activity. This idea might be due to the impression that gambling sites would be taking advantage of players to be addicted in such activity but in reality that depends on what type of gambling site owners they are. There would always be ones who are not having such mindset.

Even though people voluntarily get into gambling activities, it is the responsibility of the gambling platform to remind people of the possible negative effect of too much gambling.  Since they are the one offering the service, the should be incline to give information about the possibility of gambling addiction and its dire effect on people.

Aside from that, the government requires the casino platform to have a dedicated pages for this kind of information to remind gambling fanatics to moderate their gambling activities.  Other even gives a pop up on how long a person had been playing.  The regulation also includes the service of self-exclusion for the casino to implement.  Even though it is a conflict of interest for the casinos, they have the obligation to make people aware of the consequences of too much gambling.
