Is "Responsible Gambling" just a legal disclaimer, not a real protection?

[Julien_Olynpic]

Yes, for casinos, responsible gaming means abdicating liability, which is why it's beneficial for them. And this makes sense, because no one can have infinite risks and infinite responsibility. Ultimately, adults gamble, and they must take responsibility for their actions, otherwise it would look extremely strange. You make the decision, and someone else should bear responsibility for your actions? That's impossible, and no one would agree with it.

There is nothing more the casino can do, they have already stated that people should always gamble responsibly not because of damage control but they are just they are using that to warn gamblers and they also made self exclusion an accessible option..cigerrate companies clearly states that smokers are liable to die young but still go ahead to do their business, it is also the same for gambling sites

Gambling sites has nothing to do with any gambler, they are only in for a business so I think we that are gambling is supposed to be at alert all the time because it is what they are benefiting from and there is no how a company would only take because of particular person and quick their business that doesn't happen at all. It is responsibility of the gamblers to gamble responsibly because gambling sites can never make everything possible for you, it is you that has the power to decide what is good for you and not the company.

I don't think the "Responsibly Gambling!" slogan is harmful to online casino players. 🙋

In my opinion, this slogan makes a lot of practical sense. Casinos warn players that gambling can lead to both winnings and losses. Therefore, players shouldn't view gambling as a form of business. Unfortunately, many players view gambling as a long-term source of income. And this can lead to negative consequences.

In my country, every cigarette pack carries the same warning: "Smoking is harmful to your health!" The production and sale of tobacco products (cigarettes, papiros, cigars, etc.) is not prohibited in my country. However, tobacco companies are obligated to warn smokers about the possible consequences of smoking. And this, in my opinion, is the right approach. Adults shouldn't be banned. Only children can be banned. Adults can be warned about the consequences of their actions.  

Thus, on the one hand, online casinos fulfill the legal and regulatory obligations they are required to comply with. On the other hand, they remind players that they are adults and must behave responsibly as adults, not like little children. 🪇

Is it really true that when casinos claim to protect players based on the idea of "responsible gambling", but in reality they are using this tool to shield themselves from gamblers legally? They claim that they have given the gamblers a chance not to become addict or lose money on their platform.

So now responsibility is shifted away from the platform and onto the individual. And in a hindsight, "Play responsibly" is somewhat design to be opposite, as it could encourage us to play more?

That depends on the person and how they can take it, whether looking into it as a warning or just as a casino shield or a way of gambling more, as you said. If I could place myself in that situation, I would take it as a warning and protection from gambling because I have nothing to do with the casino, regardless of whether they are winning, losing, or trapping gamblers. Gambling has both the possibility of winning and losing, and for that reason, I will adopt the slogan of the casino of responsible gambling, as it protects me.
