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 will like to say in others words the betting companies are truly not yours friend or your enemies too, i just think i will like to raise a vaild concern about the potential risks associated with online betting, while betting companies operate within legal framework and promote responsible gambling, their business model is designed to encourage continued engagement, many betting companies include responsible gambling message and tools such as deposit limits and self exclusion options.

Gambling companies don't force you to gamble, yes it's correct they warn about responsible gambling and even create self exclusion features to help the gambler to fight addiction tendencies but in the very same the casino also gives you the tools to kill yourself with all the fascinating and eye catching games they provide in their sites. You the gambler beholds your fate with every actions base on the decisions you take, either to gamble with self control or to let loose and fall into addiction.

We are aware that gambling has always shown us two sides of a coin one that gives us warning and self-control options on the other it lures us into the depths of the game. I will not reject the primary claim that it is up to each person to make the final decision, however, I also think that gambling firms contribute to this process extensively as they encourage people to take a step further than they wanted. Indeed, you can observe how the language of promotions is developed in such a convincing manner like games are constructed to grant an adrenaline boost every time you are playing, or the sense of being on the winning streak is simulated under the circumstances when your chances are so unlikely.

I would say that this case demonstrates that a person can never blame people since the system is shaped in the way that people stay in that circle. We must understand that, not all people possess the mental strength to keep the temptation of giving in to such stimuli at bay particularly when the element of emotion and love of fast money are involved. Therefore, regardless of the official warnings, the fact remains that companies continue to contribute to the risk and it cannot be neglected because it is their responsibility.
