Do you think betting companies wants you addicted?

[alastantiger]

Definitely they want you addicted because there is a parable that says one man's meat is another Mans poison. Meaning the pain of loses that gamblers experience is happiness of the casino. I earlier created a thread that say "Gambler are losers Casino owner are winners" this was exactly what Meant because theore gamblers lose the more gain the casino recieve.

They want to make a profit hence the only way they can get that profit is through you losing, not only you but many other gamblers. It's just business and they want to make a profit hence I don't think they're doing any wrong wanting you to lose. It's when they get to sabotage the fairness of the game that they have done something wrong. The more addicted to gambling you're, the more you'll be gambling and the casino's will be profiting. Soda companies add sugar and other addictive substances to their drinks to make you want to buy more. Every industry is doing this hence the gambling industry can't be exempted. They want you to gamble more because you're making them more money when you keep on losing.

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?

Some gamblers actually need to be reminded that the casinos are not their friends. There are some individuals who choose to gamble when they are in a bad mood, like when they are depressed or facing some difficulties. To them, gambling eases their pain, especially if it is a land based casino with all the social interactions that creates some kind of fun and social connection. If they get attached so much to the casino, they would get addicted to it

Any gambler who becomes too comfortable with finding comfort in a casino will eventually become a prey to these casinos. I can still remember when I was a child when some men used to go out to a local playground to gamble locally everyday.  They would gamble from morning  till evening everyday. It was fun, but the gamblers obviously suffered financially due to lack of proper time management.

The apps are not illega, they use disclaimers and have done the official work, but the apps are designed with the help of behavioral psychologists, which makes the app more addictive and engaging by offering features like that. So in that case, the apps are not illegal, nor do they force you to install them. However, they do advertise in such a way that manipulates you into installing them by yourself. In this way, you install and decide to gamble, if you lose, it's your headache, not theirs. By the way, remember that the apps' main earnings come from your losses, you lose, they earn, so keep that in mind.

Actually that's what anyone who gambles and is not been favoured with gambling can say, when you are not wining in the gambling what comes to people's minds is that gambling will make you broke

The main thing is that when you fails to gamble with strategies you will be losing more and more, but if you gambles with a good  plans you can never get broke, the objects of the owners of gambling platforms is to make money, they don't wish a gambler to win because the more we the gamblers are wining the more they're going broke, so what we plans for them it's what they plan's for us. Their vision with yours is vice-versa

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.

Just because they made self exclusion available doesn't mean that they have the best interest of gamblers at heart, remember they everything is programmed against that gamblers to lose so definitely they aim to make more profit and the only way the make these profits is when gamblers are addicted, that is just how their business keeps on increasing. Although it's possible that they don't want people to get addicted but it's hard to believe

[OgNasty]

I don't think that casinos want you to get addicted to gambling any more than Pepsi wants you to be addicted to Doritos, or Altria wants you to get addicted to Marlboro Reds...  Does that make a business bad if they want customers to make their products part of their daily lives?  Sure, they probably know that they aren't doing you any favors, but at the same time they are probably happy to bring you small moments of happiness and receive compensation for doing so.

Do they want you to ruin your life because of their product?  No.  Do they want you to spend all your available money on it?  Yes.

Again self exclusion is a regulatory requirement for casinos if and when their want to operate wirh a license, so the law enforcement mandate them to include self exclusion into the casino features, left for casinos owners, their will definitely not have thay features on the casino since the aim of operating the casinos is to generate revenues and profits so what the need to chase the gambler who spend so much uncontrollably on the house.

Your view really pointed out responsible gambling practices and personal agency. While the view against talks about it's ability for exploitation by betting companies. The both perspective do have merit, but certain things should be put to considerations, examples; responsible gambling practices, regulation of industry, and vulnerability of users, the difference in perspectives are, some say betting companies are predators, while others say they provide entertainment to users.

[Obiene12]

Betting companies are business men and women who don't even know you or where you come from. They are after their profit. They don't know you so why will they want an unknown person addicted .every business person wants profit from his or her business.the audience is there so they don't have time to want you get addicted.it is not just one betting company there are lots of them so if any betting company wants you addicted will it be a minus or a plus to them. If any betting company wants you addicted and you are not placing your bet in their company is that not a loss for them?

Betting sites aren't predators; they're businesses. No one is forced to gamble. It's up to the individual to know when to stop. There's no point in the bookmaker blocking an account, because if the person wants to continue, they'll find another site. Ultimately, the responsibility lies with the gambler.

Just my opinion.

[SmartGold01]

We should know how we speaks about gambling sites. Gambling sites or casinos are not in any way wanting you to lose and of course losing is a part of the rules of the games in gambling and any gambler today should understand that it's a thing certain in the gambling industry. Therefore, while gambling we shouldn't think that gambling site are the one who are compelling you to come gambling rather it's our choice to gamble or not. If I don't make deposit I won't lose any peanut or kobo from my ends but, it's our selfish nature or greed index that Increases our losing rates and when it we witness loses the we term it to be that fault of the gambling site meanwhile we didn't apply risk management while gambling.

[Yamifoud]

A lot of presumptions say the casino wanted us gamblers to become addicted. But have we never known that they are giving a warning to just "gamble responsibly"? They are not exactly making us addicted, but we choose to do that because of our wrong mindset and greedy behavior. They don't force us to gamble; we did it personally. That is why we don't have a reason to blame the casinos for our foolish actions, because we are the ones who put ourselves into the situation.

The casino owner doesn't gamble often ( or even not at all). That means a lot.

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.

No one is forcing anyone to gamble we are responsible for our actions, if gambling is not good for anyone the person should quite and the same thing is applicable to smoking, gambling companies are in for profit maximization and they are not scared of you making a profit if you can, it is not their plans that anyone should get addicted, the world is larger that even with the population of un addicted gamblers they still know that they can make profit and I don't think they will be happy seeing gamblers being addicted, it is expected that we only do as we can without over doing it but people will always over do which certain.

Indeed, those casinos never force us to join gambling games. It is our own decision to gamble, we also determine the amount of money to use in gambling ourselves. The casinos just provide a place for the gamblers to try their luck and get entertainment. So, they want us to get the advantages of the gambling games, they don't expect for the bad things such as addiction. It is our own mistake to be addicted because we gamble in a careless way. Sometimes, it is also triggered of our greed. So we must ensure to have a proper mentality and gamble in the right way to be safe in gambling. It is surely our own responsibility!!

Even though you gamble with strategies It doesn't still guarantee winning, what raps it up is luck, although in sports bet we canake use of head to head and club histories to to win repeatedly unannounced, gambling is an activity that we cant really comprehend, the outcome is not known halfway until the game is over.
The only way a gambler will not be handicapped financially is by not being a reckless gambler and how will gamblers achieve that, I think it is by having self control, knowing when to give your self time, relax a bit and come back when necessary, gambling should not be seen as a work or the only means to make money and beside is making money through gambling even asured, I think the answer is no, it is a 50/50 thing, we can never in anyway win morthan the owners themselves, the business must continue and for it to continue, people has to lose, the more we play safe, the better for us.

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".

What people forget is that every business owner would try to keep their customers close to get more income and just like every business entities do, gambling companies also use ads, bonuses and tournaments keep their customers and attract more customers too but that doesn't mean they want you to the addicted or go broke cause if those happens they might likely lose their customers that's why most gambling platforms advise their customers to play by the rules which is gambling responsibly and when a gambler fails to do that then they'll have themselves to blame for whatever the outcome of their actions may be and not the gambling platforms.

Sometimes i laugh from the way i see some gamblers do gamble, because they are not in any way helping with the situation, we cant claim to be an irresponsible gambler and expect that we have highest order of discipline from how we are gambling, had it been that we were disciplined right form time, may be we couldn't have been responsible in our ways of gambling, the gambling platforms has nothing to do with this, it is a matter of being discipline or an indiscipline nature of some gamblers who feels they can always take wrong approach to gambling the way they like.

I see it a little different, because while discipline is very important I don’t think it’s the only factor that shapes how people gamble, some gamblers may start with discipline but along the line the environment of gambling platforms, constant promos and the emotional rush can slowly break that control and push them into taking wrong steps.

It’s true that many gamblers lack discipline from the beginning, but it’s also the way gambling itself is built that makes it harder to keep control, for example chasing losses or believing that one more try will fix everything is not only about indiscipline but also about the nature of risk and reward that gambling feeds on. So yes gamblers need discipline, but I’d say it’s also about awareness and having real strategies to protect themselves from the traps of gambling, otherwise even a disciplined person at the start can still fall into reckless gambling over time.

It is business. They need to get profit and to increase it. You can see lots of loyalty programs, bonus systems, marketing campaigns, etc. All these promotion costs money and betting companies spend it to increase their profit. But i`m sure that they would prefer common gambler than gambling addict - it wouldn`t attract attention. Common gambler wouldn`t cry everywhere how gambling broke his life - he just lost $5, not a problem.

It is probably true that gambling companies prefer ordinary gamblers and they focus more on increasing their numbers. They select a large number of gamblers from among them who are very involved in gambling and like to spend more time and money. To attract their attention, they offer bonus programs and deposit limits and offer the best offers on various betting strategies.

Companies are in business to make money and you as a customer, should continue to gamble according to your income regardless of the tempting offers they give you.

If we are talking about me - i get profit from betting and have problems with bookies due to it I`m the type of gambler that bookies don`t like
The best for common gambler is to play when he wants and how he wants. If he can get some bonuses when he decided to play - it is ok, it is good. But if he decided to play because he can get bonuses - it is bad for him. It means that he is catch by bookies marketing.

Just as others have said, gambling was never created to favour gamblers and if getting addicted to gambling would make the casino or gambling company more money then they’d be happy with it. To them gambling is just business, it doesn’t really matter to them if people’s life are being ruined or not, they are just there to make money and also give those who are extremely lucky the opportunity for them to make a good fortune from gambling.

Gambling is for fun! Gambling responsilby.

This is what they always say, but the real thing is GAMBLE at your own RISK! Ofcorse, Casino wants you to gamble more and more and take your money.
This is the business they have and the desing is to get you addicted and they earn BIG TIME!

Gambling for you should be FUN! You should be the one who is responsible for what you do and bet! You are the one who must moderate it.
As for them, casino is their business, your gambling is their gain.

Gamble to WIN and make sure you know when to stop, you cant win all the money of casino but you can take some of it.

They don't want you to stay addicted or broke that's why they spend millions of their revenue on educating and spreading gambling awareness and you're asked to gamble responsibly so you don't get addicted or get broke. These companies also spend a lot on New features on their site to keep you in checked and log you out when you're gambling more than you should.

There's a gambling limit on most of the casinos to not make you stay addicted. What else are they supposed to do?

Cigarettes companies warned that smokers are likely to die young and yet people keep consuming it. What are they supposed to do?
