So, if you consider this, you will realize that it is still the same, it's like running around in circles, what would have been if there was no addiction is what that is currently is, because there was and is never a time there wouldn't have been addiction in gambling.
You're right. @Betwrong is being idealistic in this case expecting stuff which will never happen because humans are inherently greedy and that is why gambling addiction will never fully go away.
However, it can be minimised to a certain extent which is exactly what op is trying to do through his project.
