Do you think betting companies wants you addicted?

[Patikno]

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?

His words seem to sound like someone with a gambling problem, so he is trying to blame the gambling establishments. Well, I think he is wrong, because casinos and gambling establishments are essentially entertainment venues, and some even offer useful features for users to maintain control while gambling, such as self-exclusion, gambling limits, deposit limits, and so on. On the user's side, if a user becomes addicted, it is their own fault for not being able to control themselves. They should have realized this when they first started gambling, as casinos typically provide notices and warnings to their users.

So, we can conclude that this person's statement is wrong. Essentially, anything we do excessively is wrong, especially for a gambler who bets excessively. Therefore, be wise in making decisions, think before acting, and you will feel safe while doing so.

Gambling or betting companies are just like any other business or companies which are established in order to also make profits from their services rendered and for them to make this profit, people or individuals must patronize them. So, for the betting companies, I don’t think they had anything in mind before they start their operations other than also wanting to maximize their profit and also wanting people to patronize them. It’s solely at the gamblers expense to get addicted to gambling or not, I don’t think it has anything to do with the betting company even though they are happy seeing people patronizing their sites, they don’t have any business about intentionally wanting any individual broke by gambling or patronizing their company as a matter of fact gambling is a 50-50 chance of you winning or losing. And you could see from some of the betting companies with an inscription that reads “bet responsibly “. So they don’t pray to get you broke rather they also want you to make some money when you win a bet so that you will come back again to bet next time and continue to patronize them and make their sites popular.

I like this reply on the X handle link you shared.

Gambling gambling doesn't have anything to do with a gambler being an addict or not. In fact they don't know a single gambler becoming an addict. They are there to make money through the house edge and require every gambler's money. So it is up to the gambler to over gamble or not, it is up to the gambler not the gambling firm because the slot machine and other games are ready to play your game with you at anytime. Like the league are starting up, casinos just know that more activities of gambling are going to be coming from the football angle. Gambling responsibly is what a gambler should imbibe, it is not the business of the gambling company to know how you gamble.

This is an article two/three years back requiring for disclaimer from gambling companies on gambling responsibly to be added to their ads .I think that is what a gambler needs to know, just like the ads and warning from cigarette companies on smoking that "smokers are liable to die young".

Gambling companies only provide games for entertainment, but many people are addicted to this because it is their own fault, so this is the fault of each individual who does it unreasonably (beyond their abilities).

Gambling companies do not force visitors to continue playing and become addicted, they develop their companies in a reasonable business manner, market them and take care of everything well. Although perhaps many companies do not warn their players to play appropriately and moderately, this is more about the awareness of each individual who must understand what he is doing.

I think bookmakers are more interested in attracting new bettors than in cultivating gambling addiction among their clients. If this were not the case, there would be no widespread advertising of bookmakers. Of course, a certain proportion of bettors inevitably become addicted, just as some casino gamblers are addicted to gambling. This is an inevitable effect. But to claim that this is being done purposefully is nothing more than the personal opinion of the author of this tweet. It looks more like the author of the tweet has lost heavily and is now blaming the bookmakers for his failure.

The more people who become addicted, the greater the profits are earned by the company. We have seen many kinds of promotions carried out, even to the point where people within the company offer everyone to use their site. Instead of promising a bigger winning percentage for new users, this certainly invites people to get addicted and makes its users addicted to continue gambling. They will not care if their users become very addicted; the most important thing is that the company earns huge profits from the many people who are addicted to continue playing in it.

I can't be pretty sure that the betting companies we desire such terrible experience for their customers because  most times our greed and constant chasing of lost couldn't let us know our boundaries and limits which in most cases lead us to addiction.

Most of the Gambling companies you see today are all operating legally with government approval, and rarely you see any of this gambling sites operating without a strike warning that says "gamble responsibly", this alone has sent a strong message across so it is now left for you as an individual to  measured how you go about your gambling activities so it wouldn't leads to addiction, because if it does no body really cares rather you will be used as a means of generating more income for their self.

Imho for betting companies its better to have stable amount of new clients, than they would milk old aka addicted clients. Because one day those addicted would run out of money, but new clients will bring more and more money. Its a lot and now vs little but forever kind of thing. If casinos were creating only addicted people, that would be noticed and minor problem (like its now) will turn into disaster. Such things will be not be lft unnoticed by government and they would interfere. It will be more strict rules, more strict kyc. Casinos would not want that.

[Japinat]

If they do, we can’t really condemn them. Casinos will always design things to be addictive because that’s how they attract gamblers.. their main goal is profitability, and they’ll do anything to achieve that as long as it’s not against the law.

Addiction isn’t really caused by the casinos themselves, it’s caused by people who aren’t responsible enough. And that’s why regulators exist as they’re the ones who should monitor and make adjustments if addiction is getting out of hand.

At the end of the day, if we don’t want to get addicted to gambling, then the simplest answer is… don’t gamble in the first place.

How do gambling companies make there money is by the lost of people and how do gamblers make there money is by winning there prediction, both the companies and the gamblers are in one way losing and also gaining, and for the fact that this gambling companies don't force you to gamble means that they have no hands in you becoming addicted to gambling, the reason why people get addicted to gambling is because they are greedy and they want to use gambling as a source of income instead of a fun thing, will play games online and the reason we play game is because we want to have fun with it, and the company that creates those games makes money when we play and we are spending our money through data meaning the company is making money from us and we the players are not even getting anything apart from the fun, but in gambling we are having fun when using our money to gamble and may still get money from the activity meaning having fun through gambling is even better than game and other fun you have that you spend money without getting money in return no matter the amount or effort you put to it.

[dimonstration]

What's your opinion, do you support his statement?

There’s some truth on his statement. You will surely broke if you keep gambling on the casino without control on your expenses because casino games has house edge.

What I don’t agree is casino wants player to become addicted because they will gain more profit to players that will be consistently playing the casino properly and use it as source of entertainment purposes only.

Gambling addicted user usually a pain in the ass to deal with because they will use all ways to get revenge to the casino.

IMO these apps are built to expand your time there platform, so they are not your friend at any aspect.  Persistence is become bigger by near miss mechanics combined with continuous advancement & notifications, so it is not luck rather it is by design.  While some platform have slacken safeguards in weak markets, however regulators have even screw up regulations on vip schemes & incentives because they have buoy up harmful play.  So it is true that the incentives are a little stacked.  In nitty-gritty betting responsibly is a consent sticker, while personal preference matters, the product is  schematic to keep you going.

I don't think casinos force people to gamble at their casinos. Their advertising is a natural part of any company, and they do it to profit from the large number of players. However, I don't think they have any intention of making players addicted to gambling. Those who become addicted to gambling are their own choices, and therefore, they bear the risk themselves.
I believe the casinos already profit from the sheer number of players, and the addiction to gambling is likely a bonus for them, as it offers a potential long-term benefit.

I don't understand why anyone would think that companies would be their friends, but i don't think they are your enemies either. Only problem with them is that they might be immoral as if your health is preventing their profit, your health won't be weighing a lot in that calculation. Only legal ramifications of making you ill will.

Literally every company wants you to spend as much of money as you can to them. It's called marketing. But it goes further than advertising. Have you heard about the infamous Phoebus cartel?

That's a good example of not caring about customers. Light bulbs could have been made so, that they wouldn't ever break, but because selling light bulbs that wouldn't break wasn't a good business, companies that controlled the manufacture and sale of incandescent light bulbs decided among themselves that light bulbs should have a short life cycle, so that people would buy them more. This pretty much summarizes it to me, how much of friends companies are to their customers.

And when it comes to addictive products, why would even make sense to make them less addictive if there are no laws ordering to do so? Even if some companies would have an approach that they want to make less addictive service, rival companies would up their addictive design to steal their customers.

I like the way that everyone is blame everything for their failure, their problems, their addictions instead of getting their acts together and taking some freaking responsibility. This generation is so soft that we just do everything to feel good and once we feel a little discomfort, rather than looking inwards to take responsiblity for our actions and out lives, we pass it on someone else. Betting companies are not our problem, we are our problem. And we must know that and stopp acting like losers. This is not directed to any one in particular just to these types of social media posts like the one whose link is in the OP.

Perhaps the gambling company wants us to bankrupt but we have the power to control ourselves. We can avoid that by having self-control so we just use gambling for fun. We can not waste our money in gambling because we know that it is for entertainment and not to make money.

No matter what the gambling companies did to attract our attention, we can avoid the temptation so we don't play gambling too often. I am in the middle of that statement because I am playing gambling but not too often. So I treat gambling as a way to have fun.

[Rgram]

I would say no and yes as well. Why did I have to choose either position:

Yes: This is because, gambling as an addict ensures the betting company keeps earning more money and that’s in the scenario where you are not winning most of your bets as an addict. What’s the excuse, they are not aware although, they warn about this too.

No: This is in the sense that, when you eventually discover that you are addicted and concerned enough to change the narrative, you would seek therapy and that means, they’ve lost one customer and active gambler.

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.

Of course it’s the case, it’s a business that profits from your losses and if you don’t loose, they don’t make money so, you are always welcomed to gamble away.

[lovesmayfamilis]

Bookmakers are only interested in promoting their business. All their warnings about responsible gambling are just slogans saying that we have warned you, but we also respect your choice and your freedom. The more customers, the more money and profit bookmakers get. But the warning and reminder that you must be over 18 years old, for good reason, says that only players are responsible for all their actions. I don’t think bookmakers think about making someone addicted; do they have ads screaming, “play more and play forever”? An adult player does not need to wipe away tears and regret mistakes.

No I don't support his statement, just as every other companies that wishes their customers well to be prosperous so they keep coming back to patronised them and remain loyal to them. So does gambling companies wish their clients well. I don't believe that gambling companies wants their customers addicted, People get addicted out of their own recklessness and their uncontrollable level of greed. If the gambling companies wants people addicted and the gamblers are following the gambling principles to avoid addictions, how will the gamblers get addicted?

Company never expected any gamblers to get addicted to their site.Only they want the users,but the gamblers who loss their huge money in the gambling will leads to become a gambling addicted person.The gamblers should not try to recover their loss in the short period of time.Instead they should regenerate the capital for the gambling,it take some time.The gamblers should ready to take the capital and then analysis the game in that gap period to avoid of loss again in the same gambling site.The gamblers should avoid their emotions while playing in the gambling sites.
