Till now it still surprise me seing some gamblers not knowing their limitations and place caution for adequate moderation where applicable, how can you send a referral link of a casino to a family member or friend whom you know does not have passion for gambling, some are really to be blame of the consequences to their wrong action or moves, while for those that could not but fo this referral of a thing then they should first seek consent before sending, meanwhile i want to believe many of the referral system less function to expectations at the end, everything resulted to wasted efforts in some cases.
I agree with you that we should be more careful among family and close friends when it comes to sharing referral links. We should already have an idea before if someone is interested in gambling or not. Inviting some to gamble when they have no passion for it can have a negative impact on our relationships. There is another issue with referring family members, because it gives you insight into their gambling habits. Usually you receive a percentage of the amount your referrals gamble, so you will have a rough idea how much your family deposits and uses for their bets. In my country it's not really common to talk about gambling in detail within the family. My family knows that I like gambling but not how much each month, only my close friends really know how regularly I gamble. To be honest it makes me a bit uncomfortable imagining that my family would know everything. It's better to make sure the people you send the referral link to are really into gambling and are looking for a new casino.
