Do you think betting companies wants you addicted?

[TopTort777]

They dont want gamblers to become addicted. If a gambler becomes addicted, he himself or people who knows him might start curing him, and for casino that means loosing a customer. Maybe even forever. Every casino want gamblers to return; play a little and leave, return back on nearest days. They dont event want gambler to lose everything. Gambler that has lost everything does not have 100% probability of return. The prove of my idea are caskbacks. You lose, but they lure you back.

[Cantsay]

If anyone comes out to accuse gambling sites of intentionally doing things to make gamblers addicted to gambling I wouldn’t doubt it one bit.

Gambling sites can't really make someone addicted to gambling and we all know that. If someone gambles a lot then that person get addicted to gambling and that doesn't mean that a casino is allowing such a gambler or doing something intentionally to make such a person an addict. Addiction comes automatically when you get attached to a thing and do it again and again and it's someone's own choice.

Casinos or gambling sites usually advise people to gamble responsibly and also I’m well aware of the fact that it is the gamblers who chose not to be responsible with his/her gambling activity that is to blame for most of them but not “all of them”.

Gambling sites would tell you to gamble for fun but when you come across their ads you won’t see any visual appeal of entertainment, they usually advertise it as a means for people to come and earn millions but then when those same people come with the mindset of earning the supposed millions they’ll be disappointed to find out that gambling is a whole lot more than just staking and winning millions.

Gamblers are to be blamed, true, I don’t deny that but still gambling sites should also have their own blame too when it’s appropriate.

Not directly, as that would be extremely negative, and people addicted to gambling will certainly bring negative publicity to casinos, as already happens. But they certainly want to keep you gambling for as long as possible; one strategy is free bets. I remember when there was a type of casino (bingo hall) near my house that offered beer and sandwiches "for free". Was the goal to get you addicted? No. It was to keep you in the establishment for as long as possible and, as a consequence, spend more money.

Casino sites are running their own business and they are running attractive advertisements to attract new players and people are getting addicted to them because those advertisements are showing how you can get rich very quickly by playing gambling games and placing bets there. This is their marketing strategy. However, becoming addicted to gambling is the effect of our own emotions and greed. Therefore, the addiction cannot be directly blamed on gambling sites. This is our weakness of greed

[Judith87403]

I am of the view that the truth sits in the middle. Companies that deal on betting are now legal and no one is compelled to make use of them, that aspect is very correct. Individual responsibility do matters, and those who gamble are required to accept the risk as well as the limits included. Haven said that, these platforms are businesses created to acquire profit, and lots of features are designed to support steady play, which may be dangerous for few users. Responsible gambling messages do exist, yet they do not alter the major profit model. Therefore while not all will end up broke or become addicted, the systems always favour the house, not those playing. Being aware, disciplined, and staying strict to limits are important.

If someone is addicted in the gambling, it's caused by the person, because the person may be willing to benefit from gambling, especially recovering he has lost from gambling...but if we have a gambling schedule, so many of won't be addicted, been addicted can be caused when we dont know our limits..

and for casino that means loosing a customer. Maybe even forever. Every casino want gamblers to return; play a little and leave, return back on nearest days. They dont event want gambler to lose everything.

I disagree with you, because once a gambler is winning, casino is losing, why if gambler is losing then, casino is winning, casino will not advice to take break on them, because they you a gambler to be constantly gambling with them, so that will be making profit.

Gambler that has lost everything does not have 100% probability of return. The prove of my idea are caskbacks. You lose, but they lure you back.

Actually, there's atoms of sense on what you said, but remember that those who are addicted on gambling was once a constant loser, so people who lose much in gambling they always be the addicted one, people who lose once or twice alway run from gambling..

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

I have been noticing for some time now that a large number of gambling sites are being created every day and are advertising on YouTube, due to which those who never knew about gambling and have never gambled are increasing their curiosity and are targeting them and making the initial gamblers win in the first one to two bets, thereby increasing their addiction. I definitely think that betting companies can really addict gamblers through flashy advertisements. Because there is a great desire among the people of our society to earn money without working hard. By targeting this, betting companies are achieving their goal and grabbing billions of dollars.

The intention of those ads is to get more customers, not get the gambler addicted, although some ads are misleading but a smart person would know that gambling is a game of luck and so the person would not agree with any information they see online. So, directly the casinos or betting companies do not want you to be addicted but indirectly the games are addictive and for a gambler that lacks self discipline, they can easily get addicted.

[Fiasem20]

A gambler who doesn't want to get addicted should be disciplined, have self control and shouldn't be carried away by greed,that’s just the honest truth. Anyways casinos are getting richer while greedy players are getting poorer and addicted, even casinos do advise their players to gamble responsibly.I won't blame betting companies because they're running their business and it isn't an illegal one.Reasons like this has brought about strict regulation from regulative bodies in most countries,these regulative bodies has this thought that betting companies are contributing to individuals financial mismanagement.

[Jaycoinz]

if bet companies wanted anyone to get addicted then they wouldn't be talking about gambling responsibly, they would always do thier business by maintaining house edge and keeping the games running not because they are trying to make gamblers addicted. I see some gamblers blaming the casinos for their losses and also saying that they are responsible for keeping them locked in but they forget that they are greedy

[boyptc]

Betting companies have no control over our minds and if they want us to be addicted, they would really love to control our minds because addiction is a state of mind.

But, they have no control over that and so, it's you and I that have control over our minds and if we let ourselves become addicted, that's our problem.

If they let all of their gamblers be addicted, they'll not stay to one casino but will go everywhere.

[barbara44]

Gambling casino's objective is to give way about the entertainment indistry such as giving all of the possible satisfaction of the users or player of their platform now its up to the player how they will treat the casino if this is a focus for the fun and enjoyment only or use of the casino to earn extra money. Thats the time they need a self control and its not the obligation of the casino to limit their players this is how they earn a lot from them, from the losers of the game, the people who are greedy to crave for more to earn so now if you have a self awareness to by the things you are doing at the casino you will not get loss and addicted from the game.

While it is true that they want to give you fun in exchange of getting your money, they are not totally against you getting addicted neither.

You think any company feels morally bad if they end up causing trouble for their customers?

It is however healthier for their bottom line if people are not addicted and lose all of their money for one time and then be bankrupt, because if you do then that's all they can get out of you, however if you are healthy and gamble there for decades, they can keep milking more money out of you.

Bro, gambling sites or casino can't be blamed because a gambler being addicted. Addiction come from gambler mind not because of casino. Think about being addicted to smoking, do you blame the factory? Of course not, because you decide to smoke. Gambling have the same effect, if a gambler addicted, that happens because he is unable to control himself from gambling sites. He want gamble at anytime because he have money, that's the cause of addiction, not the provider.  The provider is just a bridge, you are free to choose this way to get money but with high-risk (losing all money) or you find another way with low risk like trade goods offline.

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?

Of course they want you addicted that is more money in their pockets and more repeat customers.  Im sure they used every psychological trick in the book to make their stuff as addicting as possible and appealing to younger generations

[Cgrexp]

Every business needs money to grow and generally gambling sites want people to deposit their money so that these sites can make money. Gambling sites attract gamblers through their promotions or features. In the case of real life products, too, advertisements are made in such a way that people are attracted to the product. Similarly, gambling sites attract people to play. However, addiction depends on each individual. Honestly, if everyone was responsible, the companies would not be able to earn much money. The control lies in the hands of each gambler so it depends on each individual whether he will succumb to the gambling habit or not.

[Joeboy]

Casinos don't need to hope for your addiction before they can make money because

1) Casinos are already wired to win more than gamblers themselves.
2) Even game providers understand this, games are automatically against gamblers and they favour the casino more.

The advice you will never get from casinos is your preparation over losing for a period of time before winning, you don't need to be an addicted gambler you start losing, losing as a gambler is already inevitable.

Losses is for everyone both the addicted gamblers and even the unaddicted. It cannot be escaped whether we like it or not. And this is almost similar to every business. There are times for losses and there are times for profit, but regardless the casinos will never wish for gamblers to get addicted and broke, I mean. That is why they also inform every gamblers before hand to gamble responsibly, but then some gamblers will still go ahead and gamble irresponsible and recklessly and when they losses occurs they begin blaming the casino, what stupidity!!

You know 100% if you agree with those two words you mentioned that the casino is only here to keep us broke and addicted to online casinos. That's the very bottom line of why online casinos really exist.

And for clarification, "to keep us broke and addicted" is a matter of choice; we won't become addicts or broke if we don't choose it,
but this is what all casinos in this field of the crypto gambling industry are designed for.

I don't think gambling companies aim to make their customers addicted. Bonuses, promotions, and advertisements, all with attractive concepts, are perfectly acceptable ways to keep their businesses afloat. Addiction occurs because of the customers' own excessive expectations, and if these are controlled, addiction won't occur.

I realized that if I didn't control myself, all those flashy pop-up ads with offers to top up my deposit and receive a bonus always made me wary; moreover, I had a deep-seated distrust of them. Overall, I don't see anything wrong with this, because they give us choice. Incidentally, I take advantage of this and choose everything very carefully, as it could affect our deposit. Besides knowing how to choose between promotions and bonuses, it's important to understand the wagering requirements to try to win real money, not bonus money. This has been really annoying me lately.

What betting companies are looking for is a quick revenue from you and that is why they will always do what will make you to come back and use their platform. That is why the bonus system has been used for centuries to invite more gamblers and make us want to gamble again because of the opportunity to make money and the bonus you are likely to get after few days or weeks.

A casino's goal is to attract players, not give them free money, that's why bonuses often require wagering requirements. This way, the casino hedges its bets, as some of these bonuses will simply be returned to them. Casinos also have no use for addicted players, as such players will sooner or later quit gambling. The most valuable players for a casino are those who play weekly and spend roughly the same amount on gambling, simply for fun.
