Do you think betting companies wants you addicted?

This post was inspired by a thread I saw on the social media platform X which says that betting companies are not your friend, their apps are designed to keep you broke and addiected". Well that's his opinion but left for me I don't support that statement cause those companies are not illegal, and they don't force customers to patronize them, moreover if they want you broke they won't advise you to gamble responsibly. Also, gambling is a game of luck and if every gambler acknowledge that and avoid being too greedy, then gamble in a responsible way, I don't think they'll go broke or get addicted. What's your opinion, do you support his statement?

Gambling companies don't even know which gamblers are addicted; addicted gamblers are targets of the company. I think there would have been so many bonuses for them or an easy win for them sometimes that can be used as a trap to make them more interested in gambling.

At least gambling companies give awareness to gamblers to gamble responsibly, and they don't pressure or ask anyone to gamble more, but gamblers choose to play more to win against the house. Gamblers are responsible for how they approach gambling, and they are also responsible for their urges because this happens as a result of uncontrollable impulses and a lack of understanding and discipline to stick to their limits. Gambling companies want you to play responsibly and not to be addicted gamblers.

I will like to say in others words the betting companies are truly not yours friend or your enemies too, i just think i will like to raise a vaild concern about the potential risks associated with online betting, while betting companies operate within legal framework and promote responsible gambling, their business model is designed to encourage continued engagement, many betting companies include responsible gambling message and tools such as deposit limits and self exclusion options.

[GiftedMAN]

Gambling wasn't designed to favour the gambler it was designed to make the gambling companies richer but that being said it is not true that betting companies wants you addicted rather it is your greed and lack of self control that tend to make you addicted. A responsible gambler can't be betting while he's losing money it is only a greedy addicted gambler that will never stop gambling until he's broke and left with nothing. Gamble with are budgeted amount by doing so you have nothing to fear.

[Oshosondy]

What I know is that gambling sites will like people to put more money on their account on the gambling site so that the gambling site can make money from their customers. Every business likes money as they want to grow.

Be it gambling sites like someone to get addicted or not, they officially do not like it. They have guides and articles for people that are getting addicted. The gambling sites also have self-exclusion.

It’s not that they have bad intentions for you but they just want to make profit. It’s not about being illegal or what but if something affects you negatively but gives them profit then it will be fine for them and they usually wouldn’t care because like I said they just care about the profits.

[Hazink]

You don’t agree with the poster you shared his tweet from X, but he’s not far from the truth; he just presented it in a way that made you disagree with him. If not in reality, we all know that the system was built for the casino business to flourish and not for the player to get rich.

They are the ones who are doing business, which means by nature it’s designed for profit generation for them. No one forces anybody to gamble; it’s a voluntary action. But still, we should admit to the fact that we are out there to lose more than we can possibly win unless luck is on our side.

Despite the fact that gambling is a game of luck, I agree with this statement that gambling websites are not wishing the gamblers well, they always wants their money despite the opportunities of making money in their platforms because they know that you can’t just win small and go, you will definitely aim of winning big, and they will get their money back from you that is why they do come with several tricks to get your attention and encourage you to bet more.

Why do you think that gambling platforms didn’t just go down? And the rate at which new gambling platforms are coming is becoming high? It is because they are making huge amount of money from gambling and people are going to gambling everyday with the purpose of making money too.

Casinos will make more money when players are addicted, so it is very possible that there are casinos that want you addicted, but it is not a general attitude of casinos towards gamblers.

There are casinos that offer customers exclusion programs and really enforce them to help them keep their gambling habit under control. It is good to identify these casinos as a gambler and play there.

[rachael9385]

Even though it's written on some platforms that gamblers should learn to gambler responsibly this doesnt mean that they want. It's just like companies that produce things that are harmful to the health but if people stop being responsible they might be making so much money again. They want you addicted so that they can make profit, it's as simple as that. If everyone was a responsible gambler these companies wouldnt make much money

[acroman08]

They want us spending money on their casinos, and their promotions, features, etc... are designed to attract gamblers and to keep you gambling on their casino for as long as they can, so maybe yeah, they want us addicted, but to be honest, I don't think it matters to them whether we get addicted or not, all they want is for gamblers to spend money on their casinos.

From your statement, it shows to me you ain't mature enough to know the dark side of every industry, no industry is friendly at the back door but pretend to care about her users but deep down, it's dark out there.
It's far more beyond what you may be thinking, far more beyond human understanding how it works.

Many industry uses dark magic to create an app that attracts the attention of users with wrong agenda while placing the statement on every public ads "Gamble responsibly" to look as if they care. Nah

It's very deep.

I get it that betting companies want to be successful on the type of business they have, but that won’t justify that they want gambling addiction to develop on their users/gamblers. All they need are continued patronage on their business, but not that it will reach into addiction level.

In fact, they have terms and agreements prior to gambling, so if you think you don’t agree with their conditions, you’re actually free to leave their site or even discontinued gambling for good.

[HelliumZ]

Of course, a gambling company wants more and more users to be addicted, especially if you look at their business plan, you can understand that they are always introducing new bonuses to attract new gamblers, and they are so clever in creating advertisements that new gamblers can be attracted.
However, gambling establishments are continuing their business and they will be as strategic as they should be to continue their business. In this case, they can bring any variation to continue the business strategy and if new gamblers are attracted to it, then there should be no pressure on the gambling establishment because they are running a licensed business establishment.

It is not that they want you to be addicted, but as much as possible, they are here for business, and so they want their players to play as much as they can. Because the more they play, it means, the more income they have. This is business, and let's accept the fact that they would want to generate income from gamblers. Do remember, the control is still with the gambler himself, so it is up to you if you will be weak in front of your gambling habit or not. They are just offering games and what you will do with it is still up to you.

Betting sites are not saying that you are attracted to gambling, but rather that they are doing what is necessary to continue their business. The authorities are not responsible if any gambler is attracted to this. Before you create a gambling account, you must read the terms and conditions and among the terms they mention that if you are under 18, then stay away from gambling. But everyone knows that gambling is risky and if someone is attracted to gambling despite knowing it, then of course the gambling institution is not responsible.

True, casinos do not force anyone to gamble or use their service, every action is dependent on the gambler. But in actual sense they're are using reverse psychology to get your attention because  they understand humans strong willpower to make money so they presence tempting offers knowing that majority of the mass will fall for it. And the funny part is they also try to play the part of an angel by advising gambkers to gamble responsibly, but you and I know the only way they make more and more money from same gambler is when they get addicted. If they are so concerned about gamblers not getting addicted or gambling responsibly why not set up a scheme to help the gambler make responsibly choices. But No! They won't do that because  they're beneficiaries of addicted gamblers. The truth may not be something we'll all applaud at because it's not always as lighthearted as we expect it to be.

In the case of the betting companies we cannot presume that they are all evil or out to screw us. Such companies are definitely lawful entities and offer choices to the interested individuals. Nevertheless, one should not ignore the fact that gambling has its dark aspect, i.e., addiction, which can happen in the course of time.

We should now take more responsibility of creating balance. We can utilize the option of responsible gambling features provided by the companies yet the last call is on us. Provided that we are in control of ourselves, we can prevent any major losses. Conversely, these firms continue to benefit the people who lack selfcontrol.

Not every gambling company wants you to be addicted but there are many that wants this and they'll do everything possible to make it happen as they stand to benefit more when you're addicted because you'll be patronising them more. There's no way you can identify the caisnos that doesn't want the best for you but you can control how you're gambling to avoid becoming a victim to their advertisement. All caisnos wants to make the best profit hence they'll always have contest to attract more gamblers but you can prevent getting addicted by knowing your limit and not allowing the promotions from the caisnos to tempt you into gambling more than you should be doing.

Wow, very interesting, anyways since you're more matured enough, I'll need you to throw more light on your statement, especially the part you said that "many industries uses dark magic to create an app that attracts the attention of users" I suspect you must be a high ranking journalist or some spy to know such information, are you trying to say that gambling apps are built on dark magic? If yes what prove do you got on that statement, I'm just very curious and would love to know more mate, so I don't know if you'll mind sharing, we learn everyday afterall.
