The problem is that you think of gambling as another way for you to earn money. Which is why you think of gambling as something fraudulent. If you perceive gambling as yet another way for you to entertain yourself when the other options out there just don't seem to work I don't think you'd have the same outlook in life. I don't mean to victim blame but the fact of the matter is that every house/casino must have their edge or what you may think as a finger on the scale, otherwise they'd run themselves out of business. At the end of the day casinos are companies that feeds employees and fattens the pockets of its executives so they have a business model to complete.

The problem lies within the victim mindset of "gambling site/casino bad cause they have edge and they don't give me money ooga booga" which is just preposterous. Every casino that I've been with doesn't advertise or smother you with "Hey I'd make you fucking rich in a heartbeat so bet all your shit on me". And you might argue bonuses and deposit perks but that's nothing, especially when you consider that for other business models especially in the entertainment industry they also offer BOGO deals which work in the same melody as these deposit bonuses. But going back I never saw casinos advertise themselves/market themselves beyond the typical shtick of "you'll have fun here" and nothing else. The part where you think you'll make money from them lies solely upon your poor judgement skills. Not here to whiteknight on Casinos cause truth be told gambling is not even in my top 5 things to do while I'm free. Just tired of seeing shit like these when the decision to bet and play came from you in the first place.
