@Betwrong: “Platforms as big as Stake will always have haters”? No, platforms as corrupt as Stake will always have whistleblowers. There's a difference. Telling someone to “get a life” while you defend a casino that exploits addiction shows just how shallow your argument is. Maybe you’re projecting your own lack of purpose.

Read some books, mate. Any customer-oriented business "exploits addiction" to something. Food joints exploit your addiction to food. Producers of alcohol drinks exploit your addiction to alcohol. Book publishing companies exploit your addiction to books. Game creators exploit your addiction to gaming. ... Well, as I said, read some books.

You are right with your point of view. The business will usually study the human desires and develop a model based on it. If there is addiction (addiction can be termed as a extreme need of something that provides entertainment), the business will develop strategies to provide solutions to fulfill their needs.

All the industries work like this whether it be food industry or even Alcohol and Tobacco related products, they all exploit the addiction to run their business. If the people don't have high desires why would they spend money on gambling ?

Gambling is a big addiction People who are addicted to gambling do not hesitate to bet their lives on gambling. I have seen up close how gambling can destroy a person. When a gambler starts gambling, he doesn't think about the consequences of gambling. And does not hesitate to gamble by borrowing money from others. not only that, some people do not hesitate to sell their houses for gambling. Gambling is a very dangerous thing.
