Do you think betting companies wants you addicted?

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

People don't really know what is good for themselves, they make use of the opportunity to gamble and deviate from the normal way of expectations in it, we must be able to plan for ourselves and also know that addiction is what we should by all means avoid, because the casinos will not push us into it, instead we rather develop our personal interest in going for the way we gamble, which may see right to us, but actually a pattern to addiction.

Betting companies are not responsible for creating more addicted gamblers, honestly I doubt if the creation of betting site was meant to extract money from customers on a daily basis to an extend one can’t do without gambling activity for a day, obviously every business owner wants the best for their business likewise betting companies. As many have stated the reason why gamblers fall into hands of addiction greediness, the surprising part they don’t want to learn from their mistake rather they still find other means to win the casino when gambling win is not guarantee, the numbers of live streamers teaching new gambling strategy and the numbers of viewers watching the strategy is discouraging at this point you can clearly see the gambling companies are not responsible for addiction.

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?

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).

It is true that gambling companies do not have time to see if a gambler is addicted or not. They have designed their gambling in such a way that they will win. It is very common for gamblers, especially those who are greedy and gamble for a long time, to become addicted to gambling. They may be addicted because of their mistakes, but it is not the case that the gambling platform will attract them to bet only for their own sake. Gambling companies, even if they do not want it directly, will indirectly increase their profits as more gamblers are under their control and spend money, but they operate their activities to benefit not only addicted gamblers but also from the whole gamblers.

All what betting companies want is endless flow of money. For them it does no matter how gamblers are going to solve financial situations, they want gamblers to come, play, and lose more than they win. Gambling addiction, that is a problem, sickness. Thats not what they really want. Addicted gambler is a trouble maker. For example such person will always try to cheat, test casino games for vulnerability. I dont think that casino will want to waste their resources on that.

It is true that gambling companies do not have time to see if a gambler is addicted or not. snip-

Companies have systems that track user activity through their dashboards. It's mean, companies can easily see how long you've played on the platform, what games you've played, and how much you've deposited. all of these can be recorded. So, they don't need to track individual users, to know their users addicted or not. the system helps keep track of everything. The loyalty programs run by gambling companies are proof that they have systems in place to monitor your activity on their services. if your gamble frequently and for long periods of time, and frequently deposit on the same day (more than once), it could indicate you've been identified as an addicted customer. Tracking user activity is that simple.

I support the statement that casinos want us to be addicted so that we have more time to play at the casino, and of course they get more turnover if many people go bankrupt, they seem to hypnotize us and always imagine winning, so it all depends on us how strong we are in resisting the temptation.

[mcdouglasx]

I don't think casinos are interested in you becoming addicted because, in the long run, addicts end up quitting permanently, and those who aren't addicted tend to be more consistent over the years. Also, looking at it from another perspective, addicts are a small minority, so profits come from players who can control and manage their money in a normal way.

Casinos, like any other business, like to make money, so a player who will be loyal to them for years is more important to them.

Betting companies do not need gamblers to be addicted before they make profits because gambling is designed to put them at advantage. If they advocated for people to be addicted to gambling, it will end up ruining their business since they are already milking people without addiction. Instead of wanting people to be addicted, gambling companies tend to sponsor ads that will make people to gamble responsibly. I have seen some of those ads and I commend them for taking such step.

Of course the statement is totally wrong because gambling is all about personal decision. However, since nobody is forcing anyone in gambling it is left for you to decide whether you are going to gamble responsibly or not. Honestly, there is nothing consign betting companies with addiction because you are the one betting the game you have 100% right to quit if you found at the game is not always in favor. than shirting the blem to the companies that they are responsible for your gambling addiction, without realizing that gambling is what you decide.

Betting campaigns are interested in attracting new players, not in making their clients dependent. According to the license, betting campaigns must player protection and otherwise they may be fined or their license will be revoked.

Betting houses are businesses and, of course, want to make money. But when a customer becomes addicted, they eventually stop betting because they no longer have money to spend. In other words, they stop being profitable for the house. Furthermore, no business wants to be known as a place full of addicts; this damages its reputation and, ultimately, drives away other customers. That's my opinion.

Of course, gambling companies are not our friends. They are here to do business. They are doing business in return for providing us with services. And we are enjoying playing the games they provide and at the same time hoping to win something big. Many are winning big and later losing it, while many are enjoying profits. So even if gambling companies are not our friends, they cannot be blamed in any way. Because they mention in their ToS the services they provide and the risks and requirements of gambling on their platform. If you get emotionally hurt while gambling, then it is your own responsibility. Because you are unable to protect yourself.

From my point of view, I do not think the gambling platform wanted their players to get addicted to gambling but they also can't do anything to make their client avoid gambling addiction, since it is dependent on the individual's resistance to gambling addiction.

Although they wanted to retain their clients or players by offering promotions, bonuses, and patronage rewards, I believe they don't want their clients ' lives to get destroyed since they wanted their patronage in a lifetime.  What would they get from a broken client?  Yes, they can get short-term benefits, but businesses wanted long-term benefits, so with that, I believe gambling companies don't want their client to get addicted.  They wanted us to get hooked but not addicted.

Sure, every business man or woman always want thier business to progress. And so as betting companies they don't Mind if you're addicted to gamble or not, is the progress of thier business they're looking for. you as a gambler is not supposed to wait for bett companies to advice you, Rather you should be the one to advice yourself. Because the betting companies believe that every gamblers already know the rules about gambling so if you choose to gamble beyond control is non of thier business because they are not the one that ask you to join sport betting in the first place.

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.

Gambling companies don't force you to gamble, yes it's correct they warn about responsible gambling  and even create  self exclusion features to help the gambler to fight addiction tendencies but in the very same the casino also gives you the tools to kill yourself with all the fascinating and eye catching games they provide in their sites. You the gambler beholds your fate with every actions base on the decisions you take, either to gamble with self control or to let loose and fall into addiction.

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

The bonuses or welcome bonuses that gambling and casino sites offer are mainly to attract gamblers. It is just a business strategy of gambling and casino authorities. In fact, if they cannot attract gamblers, then they will not have any profit, which is why they attract gamblers through various attractive offers. However, there is no need to force them because people have a kind of instinct that they cannot control, such as the attraction to gambling, which is an uncontrollable .

Gambling companies don't force you to gamble, yes it's correct they warn about responsible gambling  and even create  self exclusion features to help the gambler to fight addiction tendencies but in the very same the casino also gives you the tools to kill yourself with all the fascinating and eye catching games they provide in their sites. You the gambler beholds your fate with every actions base on the decisions you take, either to gamble with self control or to let loose and fall into addiction.

We are aware that gambling has been portrayed always in its two faces; the first portrays warnings and the self-control mechanism and the second promotes mass bunkering into the game. I do not refute the fact that the end of the decision still lies in the hands of a person, but I also predictively believe that gambling companies help people to go further than they planned. I am sure you can imagine the way that the persuasive words are used to create the promotions, the games are scripted to stimulate the adrenaline all the time and the sense of winning as an imminent possibility even when the odds are so against you.

I have understood that this case is an indication that it is not only people to be blamed since the system has been set to incorporate people. We should understand that not every person has strong mental will to withstand such stimuli, in particular when emotional factors are involved as well as the urge to make easy money. Therefore, even with the existence of official warnings, it is a fact that the companies still contribute to the enhancement of the risk, and this fact cannot make their involvement neglected.

Gambling addiction benefit the casinos more since the rake in more revenue from addicts, however, it will be unfair to think that casinos want people to be addicted to gambling. Even without addiction, they will enjoy the House Edge so there is no point hoping on or wanting people to be addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction is generally a problem that both the casinos and the government are doing their best to avoid.

[Asiska02]

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

Responsible gamblers in the sense that you don’t waste too much money while gambling or have a control of your gambling habit when gambling? I still don’t think they will go broke and not make much money that will make them want to stop running the business again. The gambling activity is designed generally to make you lose, so even if you gamble responsibly and use only the amount of money you can lose, there is no way you’ll beat the casino for them to go broke.

Remember that gambling still remains a game of luck and gambling responsibly doesn’t mean you won’t continue losing money, you’ll just lose as much as you can contain, that doesn’t mean the casinos will stop gaining from your bet, it will just be minimal and not much like they use to with more addicted gamblers who don’t gamble responsibly. Casinos will still benefit the more and will still remain a profitable business for anyone that ventures into it because of the way it is designed generally.

Gambling addiction is generally a problem that both the casinos and the government are doing their best to avoid.

The government cares more about taxes from gambling in my country. You will see gambling ads on TVs and also you will see the same ads on signboards besides the roads and everywhere people are existing in my country like on YouTube from YouTubers. The government does not care here.

The gambling sites do not care up to what you think, but they include it on the terms of service that people should just gamble for fun. It is people that should discipline themselves.
