Recently I decided to watch a video on YouTube about gambling addiction about how different guys fight it. And what's most interesting is that I came across one video, watching which for some reason I had the feeling that this video was more promoting the casino than talking about the downsides of it.

I think it was sponsored by the casino.
What do you think about this?

Gambling addiction is what we gamblers are trying to avoid, and there's no positive light on being addicted to gambling.
A casino can sponsor a video about the harmful effects of addiction because they also advise all their players about the harmful effects of gambling in their terms, but the video should focus on the harmful effects and not on the gamblers' stats, which may attract people to bet, thinking that they can do better, avoiding being addicted if they can win what the gambler on that video is making.
A good video about gambling addiction should end where you feel that you need to be careful and try to avoid falling into addiction, and not about getting attracted to winning in a casino.
