TLDR; it’s really our responsibility as gamblers to take care of ourselves. The problem is, a lot of people see gambling as a way to make easy money, and that kind of mindset can easily lead to addiction.
Another thing, I always hear people blaming casinos or the industry for their addiction, but in reality it’s their own choice to gamble and their own failure to manage the risk. At the end of the day it depends on the person, if we fall into severe addiction, then we also have to accept that it’s on us.
For those who truly see gambling as a way to get rich quick, this is a major reason many become addicted to gambling, and I don't think there's any doubt about it. Their gambling style also depends on their perspective. If they truly view gambling as a form of entertainment, their behavior would be unsustainable. So, this excessive behavior is indeed caused by a flawed mindset from the start.
Becoming addicted is entirely their own fault, but unfortunately, many people are unaware of their flawed behavior. Some may realize it and consider recovery, while others remain steadfast in their original mindset of seeking big wins.
