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?

Betting companies have no other goal than to make a profit from their betting business, nothing else. They truly don't care if people get addicted to the betting games they offer to gamblers.

So, if many people become addicted because of their betting business, that's the responsibility of the gambler themselves who chose to deposit funds in the casino.
Therefore, the blame truly lies with the gambler, not the casino owner.

Betting companies doesn't want you addicted but of course they know that there will be customers that will get addicted because of how the games are designed. It's not their fault that people get addicted and my reason for saying so is because an individual is the one that can allow themselves to be addicted or not because the casino is not forcing them to get addicted. As long as there are people who can gamble and never get addicted, that means that anyone else can also gamble and not become addicted, it's just to develop self control and be decisive about it. Anyone can be a responsible gambler if they want to.

This is rather a tricky topic and I believe it mostly depends on the moral values which company has.
All companies, regardless of the market, wants to have as many clients and consumers engaged as possible. Do tobacco companies want people to die? No, they just want money. Do uranium mining companies want countries to have more nuclear weapons? Probably no, they just want to get bigger and have more money.
In the same manner, gambling companies just want to have more money and grow, but they do not have in their control how people manage their own money and whether they are addicted or not, and since they are a business, they do whaever it takes to expand, in the same way a orange juice company invests in advertisement, the casino and betting houses will do the same.
The existence of casinos and betting establishment is a consequence of demand and supply, in the end it is within the choice of each one of us to consume either orange juice, tobacco or entertainment in the form or gambling/betting.

They are not our friend. That's true.

We cannot think that they will pity us if we lose a lot of money. They will not. The system will keep on working as it is. It will give RTP if it's the right time, and it will not if we are taking away their money.

In a long period of time, gambling in slots and casino games, I experienced many circumstances that questioned the fairness of online casinos. Local online casinos that are regulated by the country may be the most unfair of all, especially those that use popular stars to be their promoters. They will pay those people, and then they will pay taxes. Where do you think they will take that?
They won't pity anyone even if they get addicted or lose all their savings and their assets. The business will keep on going as it should be and we are going to lose more if we keep on gambling.

If someone gambles with emotion, then he will be responsible for it. Gambling platforms are designed so that they can profit. They will never play the role of a charity that will loss them. These platforms never force anyone to bet. That is why when a gambler loses, they cannot blame them. The most important thing here is self-control. If we cannot control our greed, then we cannot blame gambling platforms.

And it reminds me of the situation with those Japanese establishments where you can come and pay a sum and a "friend" of the opposite sex will pay attention to you all evening, listen to all your troubles and so on. But in reality it just looks like a psychology session, because of course this person will not be your friend. He will absolutely not care about you when the money runs out.
It's the same in casinos and with gambling dealers: if you lose a lot of money in a casino, then no amount of begging or tears will help you get it back.

Of course, they want everyone to get addicted because that's where the majority of their income came from. But gamblers who don't have control of themselves and willing to risk everything knowing that the consequences is going to be bad for them in the end. And it's true that casinos are not our friend, they just want to get our money, simply as that. An for the perks of free drinks and others, we already paid for it when we gamble on land base casinos.

That's why we already said that we really need to be responsible and have control of ourselves when we gamble. Otherwise, when our decision is clouded, then we just throw our money to them. So take every advantage to take it back, let's say you come back and double your money, then that's it, quit while you are in the net positive.

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.

I think that, indirectly, betting companies do want every gambler to become addicted so they will keep gambling tomorrow and beyond. This will lead to profit for the betting company. However, I agree that we can't blame them, therefore, every gambler is responsible for their own actions.
Betting companies never force gamblers to keep betting until they're addicted. They only entice them in various ways, offering free spins, bonuses, and so on. Sometimes we feel like a victim when we lose, and when we win, we feel proud for being able to beat the betting company and make them lose.

If this is questioned.....

Do you think betting companies wants you addicted?

Of course I have to answer yes.
The gambling industry is endlessly doing ways, strategies, tricks and so on to users to feel at home and addiction, I once asked one of the online casino operators.
Answers, the operator has a target turnover and operator that fails to reach the target means they fail, they can be shifted, that is the duties and challenges of gambling operators, They try as much as possible so that users are addicted and enjoy the games, that's the real task of the operators.

So do not be surprised if one of the online casino companies competes in cyberspace, they show each other's prowess and show the weaknesses of other casinos, it is normal in competitive casinos, whether it's illegal or legal casinos.

.... 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?

All casinos have to comply with their license issuer and the government to make their platform an entertainment portal, and to put a disclaimer on the risks of playing on their platform, it's not them, but the regulators, I have seen some casinos who wants to be promoted as a get rich quick platform by influencers they can do that because the platform is unregulated.

Your friend’s statement has some weight when he says casinos are not your friend; you should treat it as what it is intended for, and do not spend hours to the point you are neglecting your relationships with people who are important to you.

Betting apps were designed to keep gamblers addicted but it doesn't mean betting companies wants their gamblers to get addicted. If that was the case we would have seen bonuses that will trigger and encourage addiction. It's the responsibility of the gambler to know when to stop and how to control their urge to exceed their intended budget.

We can't continue blaming others for our carelessness. I believe before anyone decides to gamble they must have been of age and most gambling companies try their best to ensure underage individual don't gamble on their platform so everyone is responsible for their actions.

[GiftedMAN]

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.

So what you are saying now is that all the companies that has app uses black dark magic to attract the app users and you are very sure of what you are saying and ready to prove your points with evidence?  I do not agree with you at the same time I may not know a lot of things that is happening who knows if you have been contacted by one of the companies to build the apps for them for you to come out to say such things.

For those that are interested in gambling, all I know is that you aren't forced to gamble if you are not interested in gambling seeing the apps or advertisement about gambling won't make you to start gambling.

Sometimes, when I see the design and interface of slots in online casinos, I absolutely do not understand why the pictures are so ugly and I get the feeling that this is some way to mock gamblers.

The same often applies to advertising, because they feature some strange monkeys drawn by a novice artist, or they feature absolutely strange women who scream in rage about winning and dollars are showered on them.

All this shows the true relationship of the casino to gamblers.

More like a therapy session, but it'll help relaxation even if no friendship was born out of the conversation. Maybe steady lurking around the vicinity could yield one, yet it's all dependent on paying a fee. Is it actually relatable to gambling, that has no fixed wagering amount?

They may not actually want you broke because they make money off the fact that you have money to gamble, it may not be their intention to get you addicted but they would want you to be hooked in the games and feel like you are enjoying, greed has been one of the killers of joy and fun in gambling, you spend so much when you become greedy and will want to continue meanwhile the casino makes more money even when they always do warn about gambling at certain age.

[AVE5]

The X post may be wrong because every gambling platforms are only designed according to the available servicesbrheg offers with awareness of it risks. So it's everyone's right to take control of themselves acknowledging that addiction is real and also be mindful for addiction encroaches and becomes part of us unknowingly to us. Therefore, anyone that becomes it victim has himself to be blamed not the platform itself.
But to be honest, I don't like the ideal of gambling platforms supporting online streamers who only focuses on attracting the audience to gamble with the tunes that it's as easy to win while in reality winning is best of luck.
Many casinos and gambling platforms truly hides under this trick which at some pointw has influence to mislead people to addiction.

[terrific]

They don't force us to gamble and that's the reason why if we become addicted, that's because of our personal conviction in gambling.
And if straight talking, they want their business to be used more because that's how they make money. They're hypocrites if they don't want to profit and still talk about customers not being addicted. But in fairness of them, they still give reminder to only gamble moderately.
The features like self exclude is even included to help gamblers that are feeling addicted already to their games.

[DaNNy001]

Its obvious that they make their money off addicts...one might say that they can also make their money if gamblers are not addicted, technically that might be true but the scale of income wouldn't be as much as what they are making constantly...Ever wondered why they offer bonus offers?this is all system to keep people in system of gambling continuously...gambling is designed to keep people addicted

We shouldn't necessarily view casinos as clean; some of them certainly cheat their customers, but we just don't know it openly. Many casinos set traps for their customers, act unfairly, intentionally leading to addiction and/or bankruptcy through psychologically damaging approaches to gamblers.

However, not all are like that. Many casinos are fair and enforce rules and consistently remind players to gamble responsibly. Although, frankly, responsible gambling is the responsibility of the gamblers, not the casino owners. Gamblers must manage themselves to avoid bankruptcy.

Messaging and therapist have becomes a high profession lately, and the business is thriving like gambling innmy side of the world, most times what people dont do is to have control over their actions and at some point being able to manage their self through when alot did not go well with their plans of getting relaxation and also easing off stress, gambling addiction comes when an individual fails control their gambling urge to the point that their gamble out of control and wanting help where there is none.
