Using fake money to gamble is a solution that can be used for people who want to experience gambling games without having to deposit money. They can experience many gambling games, especially slots, which have a variety of slot games from many slot providers.
By playing gambling games using fake money, they can enjoy their gambling games without having to think about gambling addiction. But if they choose to deposit their money to gamble and want to experience real gambling, at that point, they could run into problems. And it can indeed cause gambling addiction for them while they don't know how to anticipate it.
They shouldn't try to visit the casino for any purpose other than to experience any problems from gambling. Especially if they don't have self-control when playing slots, either using money or using fake money.
I'm trying to not laugh about this solution because I don't really know if it's effective but this is by far the funniest and creative solution that I've read when it comes to solving someone's gambling addiction although in the long-term, I do feel like this isn't the most optimal solution to help someone that's addicted because they're still gambling and compare that to when they gamble with real money, they now have a sort of unlimited one and they will never stop gambling.
If you read it again, you will know that it is not a solution to overcome someone's gambling addiction in the long term. What I recommend is for people who want to experience gambling games but without depositing any money and only using fake money. I am not writing that it is a solution for those who want to overcome their gambling addiction. You should be able to differentiate between those who are addicted to gambling and those who just want to experience gambling without losing money. They can still experience gambling games in casinos and use fake money given by the casino.
