Do you think betting companies wants you addicted?

[Promocodeudo]

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.

We wouldn't say this because they never said so even though we see it in their actions, we cant just conclude things after all they will still tell you that they never said we should gamble uncontrollably and also they never force anyone to gamble with what they can't afford, as we can see we see gambling platform launching much nowadays they keep coming up with different features because they know that they can never lose, so don't we we think that it is now left for us to gamble responsibly, we should learn how to be in charge when gambling, mate if you consider gambling as part of fun then you're good to go because anyone to accept gambling as part of fun won't go emotional.

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.

You have a point, but don't you think that there's something that the casino actually does that triggers that greed.  For example, when playing a slot or crash game, the casino sets a very high multiplier that plays out, a lot of people might decide not to play that round, some might mistakenly miss it while others might get some wins from it. After this do you think that gamblers would not be prompted to keep gambling ?

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?

I wouldn't really say that the betting companies are designed to keep you addicted,  but I believe they will be happy if you are addicted because it means more money for them. Betting companies are established to make profit and your loss as a gambler will allow them to make more profit, so why will they not be happy if you are addicted.
It's true they advice for responsible gambling, but that I guess it's compulsory for government regulations,  just like the cigarettes companies stating it boldly that smokers a liable to die young. The truth is they will be out of business if no one gambles, so I believe they will be glad if you are addicted.

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 don't think you've to express yourself by adding insults, is there any reason for saying some one isn't matured, I have tried to read through what the op said I don't think it has anything to do with immaturity, those are not good words but that's by the way, no doubt that what every establishment wants is their profit although they may also care about their customers a little but not more than they reason for setting up such business which is profit every business firm is selfish to that effect, so you even know what dark magic is, that's interesting, so you mean in this technology age or will I say contemporary age you still  think that the so called dark magic can be used to create apps that will affect users from all round the world negatively to the benefit of the owners of the app? My advise will always be for people to gamble with safe control, this dark magic stuff is what I won't want to discuss because I know nothing about it and I don't think such happens with technology.

They don`t care about it. They just get money from everybody and don`t worry is he addict or not.
But the same time, i don`t think that betting companies need to attract attention with stories of broken lives of addicts, they would be more satisfied getting $5 everyday from lots of common gamblers, who just make 1-2 small bets every day and have no problems with addiction(except money they lose).

gambling apps are not designed to keep any body broke nor addicted you chose either to make yourself broke as a gambler  or addicted to gambling. Beside all this gambling companies you see out there are people source of income so if people are not gambling in their apps how do expect them to sustain and feed their families. Beside the gaming entrepreneurs who set up and owned those  gambling companies are running their own business so who ever what to Patronize them should do, they are not forcing anybody to come gamble in their apps, people are the once who make their owe ways into their gambling apps and start to gamble willingly. So people should gamble responsibly and stop saying shits.

Well I guess betting companies do not care at all about you as long as you are betting and giving them money. They just like any other business the first and only thing they care about is profit and as long as they have got what they wanted they don't really care if you are super rich or completely broke. Now they act upon what happens and they have triggers, for example as soon as you don't gamble anymore with them then they start sending you promotional emails with a small bonus inside of it that acts like a trap, they want you to start gambling again as they are seeing you are not using deposits anymore. They send you this trigger and hope you say since it is free money let me try again. This is the normal operation of many casinos and sport betting companies.

Majority of the gambling platforms never want us to get addicted, all they wanted is to see every gambler to have all reason to gamble and enjoy using their platform for sun, we are the ones being responsible for any form of misconduct, which we are not expected to be irresponsible from how we are gambling, at the end, everyone will be on his own advantage or risk for gambling and the way they are gambling.

[r_victory]

They don't say it explicitly, but deep down, they want it. An addicted gambler will come back more often, and each time with more money, if possible. Unfortunately, if there's no control on the part of the gambler, the effect will be like that of a powerful drug. They'll offer you free spins, cashback, and do everything to keep you betting. Is this bad or unethical? No. It's a sales strategy. The casino can't be blamed for someone's addiction.

Every business wants to be successful. Gambling ventures make profit when they have more customers. I don't think betting companies want you to be an addict because it is also bad business for them. An addict might soon go broke, and his gambling activity will reduce or even end. Some gambling platforms also make provision for avenues that can help people control their gambling experience. In my view, reputable casinos don't want their clients to become addicts.

Actually gambling or betting company want you to gamble for them to make profit, and their profit can only work if you lose meaning that the more you lose the more they gain so indirectly the more you get addicted to losing the more profit they make. So I somehow believe that statement to be true. It might be that gambling company didn't force anyone to gamble or get addicted but indirectly they need your loses to make more profit now what can we consider it to be? Definitely they need you to get addicted for them to make more money but tries to play sympathetic why they have other interior motive.

Well stated, i don't know why some people feels like their is a mystery that is attached to gambling such that even when they do not plan to spend more money or time gambling but in the end they still find themselves in such situation. Someone who is disciplined will know when to stop gambling especially if they have reached their limit. Betting companies are not to be blamed for gambling addiction because they are also running a business whereby they expect profits from it so if a gambler cannot control himself and know when to stop, it is their brunt to bear because the betting company cannot tell you to stop or continue. Gambling without constraints is bad because it nurses someone into addiction which can be difficult to conquer later. Sure gambling is not programmed to make the bettors rich rather the gambling companies are mostly at advantage of becoming rich through the losses of many gamblers but there is a way to follow it up such that we don't spend so much to the extent that it begins to trouble our mind.

Addicted gamblers will not stop at anything to try to shift he blame
- it's the companies that employ marketing strategies
- it's a casino that has a nice atmosphere and gives you booze
- it's the casinos that make the games fun
- it's casinos that are easily accessible
to blame addiction on everyone but themselves, there are billions, yeah billions of people in this world that do not gamble, how do they manage, lol?
Casinos want your money, that's all, one thousand addicts who can barely scrape $10 a week are less in their eyes than a gambler who is not addicted, who plays once a month ,but when he does, he throws away hundreds of thousands of dollars, unlike with drug addicts, the amount a person can spend in a casino is not finite.

That is one of their memo but this memo is a hidden one. Who doesn't like to bring their customers close to their business but the way they want you addicted is to make sure you like what you are seeing. If a casino is doing numbers, let's say 1M turn over if players in a month and 200k wager at least a total bet of $1000 in a month, that alone is $200m, if half lost the money that's $100m going to the casino pocket, we have not talk about other players. However, let's say the following month the number reduced by 50%, do you think the casino is going to be happy.

The system is designed in a way they want players to keep coming back to gamble more and more. Why do you think some casino come back with an aggressive marketing after a long time of promotions. Once a casino makes the number or their targeted customers, they lay low but as soon as revenue decline, you see a new pattern of ways to bring players back to base. That's when you see welcome bonuses flying around just to encourage people to gamble.

[Out of mind]

Of course, I think that gambling companies mainly use various strategies to get people to move towards them, and to regularly give their time and spend money on their platforms. Basically, gambling platforms offer many types of temptations where players get stuck and cannot handle their financial greed, so they gradually become addicted. However, I think that if a player can control himself and play responsibly, he will not become addicted. Betting companies aim to get people to spend time and money on their platforms, but those who are responsible and knowledgeable always keep themselves in control. However, if you can control yourself, then no matter how much the gambling company tries to get you addicted, you will not be trapped there, basically it is about confidence in yourself and your own responsibility and experience and keeping yourself in control, not being greedy.

Casinos didn't compel anyone to register with them, deposit and start gambling. The gambler made his decision to gamble and also start chasing his losses. When you are greedy and want to reap from where you did not sow from, you will end up being a loser. You didn't give the casino any money but you want to get money from the casino.

We are all going to be held responsible for our actions and any addicted gambler should be responsible for his addiction and no one else. Responsible gambling should be our priority.

Yes - that statement is true in one sense, but the gambling industry is also given the responsibility to prevent more irresponsible gamblers in several ways. They know that gamblers will eventually become addicted - they know the profits they will make will be very high, but they also don't want to state out loud that their target market is irresponsible gamblers.

Almost all casinos will advise their customers to gamble responsibly and wisely. This advice is written on their website - but have you ever find a casino intentionally block you just because you're consistently losing? So what's wrong here? I don't think the casino is to blame, as it's the gambler's responsibility to gamble responsibly.

No matter how many Bitcoins you think Satoshi held in his custody, I think Satoshi wouldn't like adhere to dump all the Bitcoins he had at once in the market. He knows the kind of effect that action alone could cause in the market. He wouldn't think of going in that direction; instead, he would like to sell his Bitcoin in bits(little by little), not at once, like a heavy dump. Satoshi is not that naive to dump all his Bitcoin on the market.  He will think of something else on how to go about his 5% owed Bitcoin

Maybe some are not, but mostly, they are. Why? Because in this kind of business, the more the gamblers gamble, the more money will come into their pockets. Most gambling companies are required to remind people to gamble responsibly, because everyone knows that there's always a chance for someone to get addicted. Just like in the cigarette industry, just because they put something like "cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health" means they care for you or for someone who gets addicted. All they know is to improve their product so people get addicted specifically for their product only. However, they aren't the one to blame when someone is addicted, because for them it's all business. At the end of the day, it is us who's responsible for our actions.

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

Coming from someone who couldn't control himself and his gambling activities turned out not good I guess.  It's not a new thing for reckless gamblers to point fingers ones they begin to realise that they are addicted.. the first thing they should know is that the casinos has nothing to do with you, you literally signed up on their platform and filled in details because you wanted to gamble. So what's the point of blaming them for how things later turned out.

There was no guarantee that you would make wins from any game you decided to play. The casino as well would be in loss if almost all the game were winners.. I don't support such statements, we should learn to take responsibility for our actions..
