Can a video about gambling addiction put the addiction in a positive light?

[Hispo]

What do you think about this?

It is possible.
I have seen some videos on YouTube which are alledgedly done to show people who gambling addicted people suffer the consequences of their recklessness, but there is something off about them. In many of those videos there is much emphasis on how they managed to score very high wins, before they got greedy and end up losing it all after a relatively short period of time.
I am not affirming anything, because I don't have any proof those videos or those people are being sponsored or being paid by casinos to attract more gamblers, but it would seem to me the trick is to show both the big wins and then the downfall of those addicted gamblers,.so the viewers have the impression the could "stop at the right time", unlike those gamblers in the video, prompting them to try gambling for the first time or turning them to active gamblers from passive/casual gamblers.

Just my personal theory, I could be completely wrong.

[Su-asa]

There's absolutely nothing weird about this to me, talking about the negative and positive side is important to create an awareness or should I call it a reminder so that people would not gamble irresponsibly. If casinos are being advertised like this a lot of people would be more cautious of the dangers involved. But most casinos would see this as something that would wreck their business they wouldn't sponsor it

Recently I decided to watch a video on YouTube about gambling addiction about how different guys fight it. And what's most interesting is that I came across one video, watching which for some reason I had the feeling that this video was more promoting the casino than talking about the downsides of it.
Despite the fact that the main presenter of the video and the guest hero talked about the disadvantages of gambling addiction, but there were a lot of video inserts of guys winning huge multipliers and jumping happily in front of the webcam, and there were a lot of such videos. And in the end, I got the feeling that, rather, here the casino was shown in a positive way, and this was the secret message of this video.
I think it was sponsored by the casino.

I'm thinking you might be watching a video clip sponsored by a casino.
It might seems that way, their marketing strategy is designed to lure gamblers to their gambling brand name.
Yes, I noticed something similar to what you mentioned, it's an ad from a social influencer who places a bet and wins a huge or big amount, and it appears to me to be a scripted game.

There are numerous ways to deceive people into gambling, particularly those who are greedy about it.
Upon witnessing those big wins on a video clip, they often pursue it, hoping to achieve a similar outcome.

Casino can do anything to promote their casino without caring about the gamblers because it isn't their responsibility the tell you how to gamble or control your lust for money. Alot of videos about gambling addiction has secret messages that they're passing to gamblers that they can win without turning out the way the addicts are turning out. And the gamblers will think this is achievable because they already have the information but they don't know if they follow the path of gambling the way the casino are advertising, they too will become a victim one day.

Gambling is so addicted that if you aren't a disciplined gambler, it'll be hard to not become a gambling addict. When you watch a video that someone is winning always and made one mistake, you'll think you can avoid the mistake but make the money and that's what most of those video tell people, they're advertisment in disguise.

Yeah. It makes the casino look good if they show people consistently winning and makes everyone think that they can also win that much if they just register to their casino. It would be soon realized this is false. But that’s advertising for you. No matter how good a promotional video is, don’t fall for it

of course every casino will like to promote their site despite knowing that more people are loosing. its just a business strategy used by most of this casino. the casinos knows how hard or difficult wining is, but yet they will figure out a way to attract the audience by bringing up some few testimonies of huge wins that will supersede the total lost people had. and trust me, when addictive gamblers sees this ads they will fall for it since they just needed a motivation or what will boost their moral to still gamble the more. i always make a reference that everyone will like to promote their business despite knowing the disadvantages in it. just like weed and hard drug is sold and advertised, knowing surely that is not good for the health, so is gambling also advertised.

Could you enclose the link of the YT Video? If we can directly watch the video, we may view it from another perspective. You probably conclude it from your own perspective.

If it is sponsored by a casino, it means the casino is quite responsible to the gamblers. The casino has the intention to give the lesson to all gamblers about the addiction, they remind all gamblers about the way to fight the addiction. Addiction is a serious problem in gambling, there are many gamblers who don't realize the bad impacts and they don't know how to fight with the addiction. More YT Video about fighting addiction, it means a positive matter. Even if the YT Video also seems promoting a certain casino, I think we must view it from another perspective. The casino wants to remind the gamblers about addiction problem.

Any content always has a positive and negative side. I mean, like the video you saw, sometimes someone is too eager to tell his experience when addicted to gambling and he does it unintentionally. Things like this can happen but I prefer to think realistically. The development of advanced technology today almost most of the companies of any kind even gambling will try to promote their casino through comments, video inserts or whatever. And I believe it looks like the video you saw was sponsored by the casino.

[Slow death]

When we talk about addiction being a disease, it doesn't mean that we should demonize casinos. Because casinos are not to blame for people becoming addicted. This is the same as a car being accused of causing accidents when we know that it is people who drive the car. Without people, cars would not be moving and would not cause accidents.

That's why, in my opinion, people should focus on paying close attention to the words that the people in the video were saying about addiction and not pay attention to the casinos at that moment. Addiction is a disease and requires doctors for treatment; YouTube videos are not going to cure an addicted person.

So what you’re trying to say is that, they deviated from the theme of the video to promote the possibility of winning in gambling.

Well, even those who win often in gambling could be addicted! Addiction isn’t always about those that loss in gambling, no. It very much extends to those that are always winning too. It defines how you react towards gambling: is it a must gamble for you, a do or die, a do whatever it takes to be in the gambling house… that’s addiction.

Even if the video insert might show winnings, the end to it should capture the idea as a whole.

Right. Such a picture only screams to everyone who watches this video: "Oh, this person wins game after game, it's cool. It means that casino games do not cheat and pay. And I'm not as weak as they are. I will play differently." What happens next? People convinced that they are about to win, become frequent visitors to the casino, because they have seen how others play, and they are not fools to fall into the clutches of a beautiful fairy tale about winnings. Everything is different here.
But in reality, scammers know that people will not fall for a video where everything is going well, but believing tears and thinking that you are not like that is closer to the human psyche.

Some casinos would sponsor such documentary films in order to attract more people to gamble, it is called stealth or unconscious advertisement and it is something companies of all kind within all sectors do in order to prompt people to buy their services and products.
Though, something is certain it can be difficult to talk about gambling from a neutral or not biased perspective, as most of material out there will talk either very positively or very badly about casinos.
So perhaps that documentary film or video wanted to be as neutral as possible, not only showing regret and grief from those who were some addicted to gambling, but also the "good times" in which they won money and felt unstoppable.

While that's your perspective about the video, you should have left the link of tat Youtube video for us to see. Anyway, most of these videos if they're tackling about gambling addiction and a reminder to people, they can always insert an ad on it depending on the viewers that they want to reach out. And that's why even for some reminder videos, they are able to insert their ads for people to see its exposure that they're trying to get. Because for them, good or bad publicity is still a publicity which makes them being remembered by the people that are watching these docus or videos that probably they have sponsored.

Video can somehow help people to know what is the effect of this situation if they engage on more darker side on gambling. This can discourage those newbies to gamble more deeper.

But for people who's suffering already on this bad situation I guess this things won't help them anymore that's why its better for authorities to do immediate actions and regulate well this businesses so that they can stop anything that can put their people in huge harm.

Government just need proactive response towards this issue so that they can lessen up people experiencing addiction and these business will be monitored well.

Well, that video is made for something like what you have said, "influence." Many gamblers believe that what they see is the reality happening in real gambling. Things like those videos are perhaps an effective marketing strategy to attract more gamblers.

Of course, if you are new to gambling, you believe it. But for us who already have long gambling experience, all of these things are more than scripted. But I don't care because it was now our discretion whether we gambled or not. In fact, nobody urged us to do that, as we did it personally.

If the casino is not responsible for sponsoring the viral video then its either the influencer is trying to promote the video to attract the likes of the casino for future collaboration and sponsorship. In the meantime, that video is limits the importance of eradicating gambling addiction in our society. Videos like that should be more focused on points that proves addiction can damage lives.

All companies will certainly do their best for the development of their company, including casino companies, which of course they will do their best too. With one of them, they show a video whose purpose is to make many people aware, but even so, of course, there is another purpose to all of that by inserting several videos about their casinos, then the other is to attract people to feel interested in gambling at the casino that they promote.

Exactly what you said, however, no one forces and urges us to do it, including the casino itself, which of course they do not have to force people to gamble at their casino, we just need to be wise in making a decision because after all, we ourselves have the will in the steps we will take. So we ourselves must be smart in doing something, and not excessive in doing it.

[Shinpako09]

Why not, right? It’s like hitting two birds with one stone. The casino appears to care about others, while at the same time promoting itself. A clever advertisement, especially if it’s really sponsored by the casino. When people see those moments, they start to believe they can do it too, even if the host or guest is discussing the disadvantages of gambling. The encouragement hits harder because it involves winning. And winning means money, and money is what most people want, if not all.

No doubt every company have the right to do things for promoting their business while few are restricted to do openly in many countries so now they are using influencers and social media for this which is also working for them.
Here family responsibility increased for having something for bringing family member on track and keep checking because addiction surely having serious impact and many regions are facing troubles just because of this even It's just not gambling many other things are also involved, but our main topic is gambling so keeping on this with positive notes are good.
No casino never encourages anyone for having playing but still it's going through just need to have awareness about consequences which are never been positive for many peoples those never been understood and have addiction which is worse.

I would say this was a unique advertisement. They highlight the downsides, also fill the screen with big wins and enraptured reactions. Something like promoting "see how much fun this is?" I will call it a psychological merchandising, they are establishing FOMO, excitement, and some random proof to employ you emotionally. No one can say they didn't warn; they concisely mention addiction, however, the real promo gives you a feeling like gambling is exciting, want to play?

You know, most of problem gamblers often think they are in control, they think they are playing a little bit. But gradually, addiction to victory makes a thrilling environment and colors your judgment. Before you notice it, the bets are getting bigger, your losses are being chased, and you lose your bankroll. So you shouldn't be influenced by ads at all, and everyone should avoid high-risk gambling. If you follow a high-risk, high-win method in gambling, you will quickly lose all your money, and then you will get involved in various misdeeds if you don't have a sufficient money supply.
