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.
Despite the fact that the main presenter of the video and the guest hero talked about the disadvantages of gambling addiction, but there were a lot of video inserts of guys winning huge multipliers and jumping happily in front of the webcam, and there were a lot of such videos. And in the end, I got the feeling that, rather, here the casino was shown in a positive way, and this was the secret message of this video.
I think it was sponsored by the casino.
What do you think about this?
Casinos can sponsor videos like these to prove to people that gambling is not entirely all about the negative side effects but that people are are indeed winning. This is similar to the clause that is always visible in most casinos which is "gamble responsibly" even though in reality, casinos smile when people lose huge money to them and even when people are making huge deposits and gambling recklessly. This is the reality because it is the players against the casinos. Hence, it is possible the casinos can make such videos as a subtle way of projecting gambling addiction in a positive light different from what is generally known among gamblers.
