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 think they are helping their customer not to get addicted to Gambling by not allowing them to use the card for gambling. This act is to help them become more responsible because gambling can be problematic when given the opportunity to use such card. Afterall the main reason for that card is to pay later for the necessity of life and not for gambling. Gambling is off from what it was scheduled for. Although it might still be used for gambling but prevention is better than cure.
