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?
Maybe some are not, but mostly, they are. Why? Because in this kind of business, the more the gamblers gamble, the more money will come into their pockets. Most gambling companies are required to remind people to gamble responsibly, because everyone knows that there's always a chance for someone to get addicted. Just like in the cigarette industry, just because they put something like "cigarette smoking is dangerous to your health" means they care for you or for someone who gets addicted. All they know is to improve their product so people get addicted specifically for their product only. However, they aren't the one to blame when someone is addicted, because for them it's all business. At the end of the day, it is us who's responsible for our actions.
