This is why, we are advised to take gambling as a fun venture, rather than a money making venture, for he or she who gambles for fun will only do so when he or she feels like, and have money to spare.
The pitfall is gambling is addictive by nature. On the first hand, people may be seeking the fun of it, but if they are not doing it carefully, they might get addicted. It is easy to say that we only do it for fun or suggest others do the same, but each unique human being behaves differently when exposed to something. Some people may have high tolerance so they are unlikely to get addicted, but the opposites do happen.
So, rather than directing people to fixate only on playing it for fun, I'm sure the kind of platform that OP endorses is a good way to help those in need. There is no judgment but simply a helpful motive.
