Do casinos profit from addiction, or do they truly promote "responsible gaming" as they claim?

As what we have seen, casinos are profiting from gamblers who can't control themselves and play as much money as they can and think that they can bring the house down. But we all know that the longer we play, the higher the chance that we are going to lose anyway.

Probably there are casinos that really have programs like self-exclusion and outright banning of players and promoting 'responsible gaming'.

But you have to ask yourself, If casinos eliminated all problem gamblers, would they still be profitable?

I have never seen a casino that promotes gambling with purpose of trying to make people becomes addicted openly, there could be a true intention of seeing people becomes their regular customer, but they don't show it because they know by the time they give people bonus to try their luck and make people familiarize with their casino, you are going to be one way or the other become their regular customer but it's upto you to decide if you are going to be addicted or not.

It's not like gamblers stayed with one casino forever, I can be regular user of Rollbit and one casino can decide to do some marketing and promotions by given first 20k people 100% bonus on their casinos. Being a regular sport wizard, I will think twice before I make a deposit to the casino because whatever I bet on my usual gambling casino is what I'm going to replicate over their but I'm going to be using my free bonus to make money, there is nothing like addiction or whatever they called it with me.
