They need to find more viable option how to address gambling addiction.
For me, this is not the way to do it also. It won't resolve this problem.
They will just be tempted to play more and find ways how to use real money.
If the gambler wants real change, he needs to contemplate on his own why he badly needs a change of lifestyle.
It is in his own accord how he can change things for himself.
Gambling with fake money won't solve gambling addiction, I think it only strengthen the urge to gamble of a gambling addict but for those who are not addicted and are just looking for some entertainment, then using these apps that use fake money will can be an alternative. It will save us a lot of money but it won't give us real money either.
Gamblers play gambling because they want to win real money. If you introduce fake money in gambling and stop the usage of real money, many gamblers will quit gambling because the main motive of these gamblers is to make and earn real money.
Yeah, you can ask kids or under age to play gambling with fake money, but never think that grown up adults will agree to gambling with fake money.
