Re: Platform refusing to benefit from gambling

Even if online gambling could significantly boost its earnings, Singapore-based financial technology (fintech) firm Atome stands firm on giving no platform to e-gamblers as it eyes growing its client base to more than two million by year-end.

Atome is a pay later card where they claim to help their customers to pay for what they need in their lives. Its CEO claims that there is no need to help people pay for gambling because it is not a necessity even though he knows that if he allows gambling to be part of their system, they will rake in huge profits.

Do you think they are making the right choice? Are they helping gamblers become more responsible or are they just missing out?

I don't know what his reasons for refusing gambling are but I feel he is being too emotional with business. He has no right to decide what people use their money for and what constitute a necessity for people. I believe their will be alternatives for gamblers in that country and he will be the biggest loser in the game. What makes him think that gambling is bad? No problems, let him keep his platform, that will not stop gambling.
