Yes, clear clear, gambling is business and casinos use every possible lever to attract players, including advertising and psychological manipulation.
However, to say that ?we cannot blame any party? is a bit simplistic in my mind
Of course, individual responsibility is essential, but platforms also play a role in creating mechanisms that encourage addiction. Budget trick works for me.
No one can beat the business of gambling Casinos because this type of gambling is quite in demand now and Casinos will make some efforts to promote their business more and more on social media. Simple things sometimes just happen and even gambling ads are posted on social media platforms so who can we blame. Without self-awareness to control then I am sure no one can help because gambling must be handled responsibly so that someone does not get into trouble later.
It should not be forgotten that although the gambling industry revenues are very high, there is also very high competition. This is partly why casinos and bookmakers spend quite a lot of money on advertising. Competitive struggle is for each gambler. I partly agree that gambling platforms are to blame for the high level of gambling addiction, but unlike us they have no mechanisms to control it. We can control our own activity in this sphere. Therefore, I believe that the biggest responsibility for gambling addiction lies with us.
