Do you think betting companies wants you addicted?

[Yablee0]

Well that's his opinion but left for me I don't support that statement cause those companies are not illegal,

This part captured my attention because those online casinos and others are all operating legally by the government approval, if it was something bad it would have been banned long ago by the governments. You made the decision your self and you are accountable for it.

and they don't force customers to patronize them, moreover if they want you broke they won't advise you to gamble responsibly.

That is were the Gambling companies nailed up the whole deal. They didn't force anyone to play or patronize them, all what transpired between the players and gambling companies was all by willing perhaps nobody  forced anybody. Moreover, the betting platform even went to the extend of showing some level of kindness and concern by advising their customers to gamble responsible, so if out of your own personal reasons you do otherwise that is your own cup of tea.

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 don’t fully agree with the idea that betting companies are 'out to get you.' Yes, their apps are designed to keep you playing, but at the end of the day, no one is forcing you to bet. Gambling is a game of luck, and if you approach it responsibly, set limits, and control greed, you don’t have to get addicted or go broke. The problem usually comes from the player ignoring their own boundaries, not the company actively trying to ruin them.

Now with that said, it is very true that the design of these platforms can make it easy to lose track of time and money, so self-awareness is key. Understanding how the games work and recognizing the psychological tricks in play can go a long way in protecting yourself. At the end of the day, responsibility starts with you the player, you know, betting smart, knowing your limits, and never letting the thrill override your judgment.

but at the end of the day, no one is forcing you to bet.

This is so true, they make ads and they're out there for us to see. But still, they don't force us to gamble and they don't point anything that's sharp to us so that we'll use their ads. It's still our will to gamble and the desire to do it and when it becomes too much, that's on us. A problem that we've made ourselves and despite that they're a gambling company that makes money from addicted gamblers. They always give the reminders to gamble with discipline and they have features to stop us when we can't bear it anymore like self exclusion.

Saying they want you broke sounds exaggerated, but saying they don’t design apps to keep you playing is naive bonuses, notifications and near wins are not random, they don’t force anyone, that’s true, but they definitely try to keep you engaged as long as possible.

there's no app that was designed to keep anybody broke the thing is that and gambling people make themselves to be broken in the gambling the reason is that most of the people who participate in gambling there are all interested to make money but they are not interested to lose, so the reason why people lose much in gambling is because that does not calculator well before gambling gambling is all about risk and if you are desperate on it that is when you will lost everything you have so we are not supposed to be addicted in gambling, we need to have a boundary where we shall stop so that we will not gamble above our limit

In that regard, casinos and bookies are masters of psychologically keeping their gamblers engaged and always trying to get to the next session, or even stay more time than intended rolling dices or spinning slots.
They do not explicitly want to make all their gamblers become broke, but they certainly want to get a good enough yield from their operations, and that inevitably means getting more money from their gamblers and their bettors.
It is a sum zero game in that regard, much people is supposed to lose in order for a minority and the casino to win.

Regardless, the interface should not be an excuse for gamblers to ruin themselves while blaming the casino. The design was meant to give you a good feeling of a physical casino. Without that, gamblers will barely enjoy the games they play there, except for the sportsbook.

Initially,they know addiction would occur, besides ,all the profitablity of the betting business depends wholly on the behavior of the players/people. Many times,they claim to promote “responsible gambling, and player wellbeing,but intention isn’t just what you say,it’s what you design for.It promotes escalation from massive engagements that soon sparks addiction.

[Makus]

Technically the casinos benefit from addicted gamblers and it would seem like that's what they want but it is wrong to assume that. On evrry gambling site or platform that's legit you would always see that a warning is given to gamblers to always gamble responsibly. if they wanted you to be addicted I'm not sure that they would bother to add this write up. The reason why it is stated out is because they know that some gamblers would get addicted along the line, that's the reason why they always remind gamblers of this, they aren't out to get you

We can say that they want players to be regular customers of their site and place bets with them rather than their competitors, which is why they send tempting emails and text messages. Addiction is the player's own problem, as the site itself does not force anyone to play.

Other explanation will just tell you that they want it either because they are designing apps and algorithm that's meant to make their users addicted. That's the reason why there are so much bonuses given to every user and they don't want you to skip that for that very reason. It doesn't mean that you'll become addicted in it by their initiative but it's still the user's decision if they'll be addicted afterwards since gambling is all about free will and using our money for it.

[Dunamisx]

Gambling casinos are not interested in our addiction in gambling, we really need to know that what we see from them is to make us have fun and more of it in using their platform, but not with the pretense for getting us into addiction, we make our respective choices to how we gamble on our own, choosing between being an addicted gambler or not is left for us to determine what we want for our self.

They don't want each gambler missed those heavy offers knowing that in each of those player that will engaged and start depositing their money will generate profits, they don't intend to get you addicted but to allure you to play it's up to your if how good you are in controlling yourself and your emotions since it's still your decision to make.

The design is to generate profits and that's for sure will going to happen, always rely to a each individuals if how they'll play the game.

They are for sure in it to generate profits because that's the business they have entered. Those bonuses that they're giving is a way to make a user deposit more than ever and some requirements to be met based on how they set it. While we know that the more we engage into those, the more we're likely to deposit and the more time we'll dedicate into it. And that's the reason why they nonstop make so many giveaway and bonuses to make us obliged to get engaged with them and to be curious at most times of what they have to offer for us.

The statement that “betting companies are not your friend, their apps are designed to keep you broke and addicted” is a very strong opinion, and it may be leaning on the idea that these companies profit from people losing more than they win. It is not entirely baseless, these gambling companies are businesses, and like any business, they aim to always maximize profits. Their apps will often use psychological tricks like notifications, rewards, flashy graphics, and ease of use to keep people engaged for more money. But these same companies are not forcing anyone to play, and they provide tools for responsible gambling. If a gambler understands that gambling is a game of chance, approaches it with limits, and avoids chasing losses, the risk of addiction or financial ruin will be much lower.

What a common man expect from out of the gambling platform, fair winning. In reality quite often gamblers experience wins, but they don't know to keep it it up. Out of greed or lack of knowledge about the consequences of gambling they just don't know where to stop. In most of the gamblers experience, this is how major loss happens. For the gambling platforms it is pure business and they just want people to use their platform much. For the same they'll use all the possible marketing tactics. In simple words they'll be running the gambling platform and parallel to it they'll also be running the rehabilitation centres. This means one way or the other revenue need to be generated, so the platforms focus on business and not on making people get into addiction.

It is indeed a conflict of interest when you are dealing with helping providers of betting services since they are after making the most profit. They take advantage of human brains and their need to continue gambling and fall into the bottom of the abyss of losses. The decision to put a rehabilitation business unit and core operations side by side creates a dark side to their risk management. This makes us put our eyes open because to them, people are just figures in an annual profit and loss account.

I don’t think the apps are designed to keep anyone addicted to gambling. If you are a gambler, you can choose to be addicted to gambling or not, no one is forcing anyone to gamble, so if you are addicted to gambling, then you are the cause. If you are addicted to gambling, then you are helping the gambling site because you going to gamble more, you going to lose more, and gambling sites are going to earn more. So we just have to try our possible best to avoid addiction in gambling.

As a gambler the same way you want to win more, that’s how gambling sites want you to lose. If you are losing, gambling sites are earning, and if you are winning they are losing. Since they are running their business, then they will want you to lose more.

Thinking of this is enough to make you try and gamble responsibly. I could remember when I once worked in a betting shop, my boss don't rely pray for winning so as to have a good weekly bonus. Although this companies advice to gamble responsibly but indirectly they want something different so as to make good money from you. So it's always advisable to gamble less and avoid been an addict.

While on their minds that they want us to get hooked with at most times so that we become regular gamblers of theirs.

And when that happens, there's a chance that we might become addicted to it but, it's true that it's already out of their scope if some or many of their customers have become addicted.

They have no jurisdictions over our minds and that's why if it's about being addicted, that's our fault if we fall for our own desire to gamble and win more.
