This post was inspired by a thread I saw on the social media platform X which says that betting companies are not your friend, their apps are designed to keep you broke and addiected". Well that's his opinion but left for me I don't support that statement cause those companies are not illegal, and they don't force customers to patronize them, moreover if they want you broke they won't advise you to gamble responsibly. Also, gambling is a game of luck and if every gambler acknowledge that and avoid being too greedy, then gamble in a responsible way, I don't think they'll go broke or get addicted. What's your opinion, do you support his statement?
I like this reply on the X handle link you shared.
Gambling gambling doesn't have anything to do with a gambler being an addict or not. In fact they don't know a single gambler becoming an addict. They are there to make money through the house edge and require every gambler's money. So it is up to the gambler to over gamble or not, it is up to the gambler not the gambling firm because the slot machine and other games are ready to play your game with you at anytime. Like the league are starting up, casinos just know that more activities of gambling are going to be coming from the football angle. Gambling responsibly is what a gambler should imbibe, it is not the business of the gambling company to know how you gamble.
This is an article two/three years back requiring for disclaimer from gambling companies on gambling responsibly to be added to their ads . I think that is what an gambler needs to know, just like the ads and warning from cigarette companies on smoking that "smokers are liable to die young".
