Do you think betting companies wants you addicted?

[Orpichukwu]

If a player fuels their own greed, how doe this become a problem of someone else? Besides these platforms technically only admit adults who are over the age of 18years who are expected to make sober decisions, and anything that happens out these parameters are a problem of the player themselves.. I know it's a bitter pill to agree but that's how it is..

Inasmuch as I’d like to think that the casino is innocent when it comes to their customers getting addicted, the trust still remains that casinos create the perfect environment for gamblers to push their limits and gamble more. Ordinarily gambling itself has an addictive nature and anyone who lack self control and discipline, even if you’re way above the set age, you’ll still get into gambling troubles, and the casinos don’t even make it easier, they introduce some certain offers and bonuses that’ll make people gamble more. I even heard that some casinos gives their customers alcohol which impairs their judgement and make them gamble recklessly.

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?

This is quite a tricky question. What i do know is that, casinos wants people to gamble. They probably don't care if you get addicted or not,(although, it may seem so), they just want you to keep coming back. Also, I think it's important to note that they don't care about if you're responsible or not with gambling. They may actually want people to be irresponsible so they can continue to spend money in their establishment. The so called "advice" to gamble responsibly is more of a way to avoid lawsuits later on from disgruntled players who legit lost their money than a reminder of how much they care.
An addict, who would likely be close to or already in financial ruin is of little to no value to the casino as there is no money to be had from that individual. Obviously, when you gamble responsibly and be disciplined with your finances, you won't go broke or get addicted.

Not directly, as that would be extremely negative, and people addicted to gambling will certainly bring negative publicity to casinos, as already happens. But they certainly want to keep you gambling for as long as possible; one strategy is free bets. I remember when there was a type of casino (bingo hall) near my house that offered beer and sandwiches "for free". Was the goal to get you addicted? No. It was to keep you in the establishment for as long as possible and, as a consequence, spend more money.

The casinos are just doing anything humanly possible to make sure they keep their customers satisfied and want to keep on playing. The goal is to make more money while you, as the gambler, is getting entertained it's never for you to get addicted, but many will always keep on misinterpreting the whole situation just as some who waste all their money can go out and start calling the casino they use a bad name just to make their self feel better.

Of course that's their business, so as much as possible they want their gamblers play as long as possible. They won't stop you for no reason unless, you are violating their terms. Have you heard any site stopping a gambler because he's playing too much? Never heard, right?

If you ask me, I would say that the betting companies don't fucking care if you're addicted or not. So Long as they are making their profit of  course that's what matters the most, as a matter of fact they have set rules so it is Left for you the gambler to adopt or you leave it but one thing for sure is they will not be accountable for any mess you brought upon yourself. You really think the betting companies think about gamblers? Of course they don't care how the gamblers is copping, all they are interested is their money and then forget about every other thing.

Betting companies use various strategies to make money. They run campaigns to attract gamblers. When a user enters that particular platform he has to play gambling according to their terms. Those companies consider not only their own interests but also the interests of the gamblers because if they set up the system exclusively in the hope of making their own profits gamblers will not be attracted to their platform. It is very important for betting companies to gain the trust of the gamblers. Since betting companies can see the reflection of their trust the number of users increases and these platforms earn high profits.

In most betting companies the winning rate does not depend on the skill of the gamblers. Luck of the gamblers plays a significant role in winning. Gamblers should gamble responsibly to avoid the tendency to lose money in gambling.

Betting companies are businesses first and their main goal is to generate profit over time. That does not automatically mean they want every individual gambler to be broke or addicted. Their systems are built around probability and volume not personal outcomes. Responsible gambling messages exist partly for regulation and partly because platforms need long term users not short explosive losses. A gambler who understands odds limits and self control can use these platforms without destroying their finances.

At the same time it is also true that these platforms are optimized to encourage continued play. Design psychology bonuses and convenience all push users to stay active longer. That pressure becomes dangerous only when the player loses discipline and starts chasing outcomes. Addiction does not come from the platform alone it grows from mindset expectations and emotional decisions. Gambling stays entertainment only when the player controls the pace and accepts loss as part of the game.

I realized that if I didn't control myself, all those flashy pop-up ads with offers to top up my deposit and receive a bonus always made me wary; moreover, I had a deep-seated distrust of them. Overall, I don't see anything wrong with this, because they give us choice. Incidentally, I take advantage of this and choose everything very carefully, as it could affect our deposit. Besides knowing how to choose between promotions and bonuses, it's important to understand the wagering requirements to try to win real money, not bonus money. This has been really annoying me lately.

I'm the same way myself. I'm someone who can easily ignore the ubiquitous gambling ads. Even if they offer something tempting, it's nothing more than a strategy and offers no guarantee of winning, so I easily ignore them.
While they may be annoying, as you said, they offer a choice, so we can choose whether or not to be interested in the casino's advertising offers.

It could be that the person that made the statement that made you to come up with this thread could be a victim of gambling addiction, and it could be that he or she made the statement because of the encounter he or she had in gambling, so I am not taking that dude's statement seriously. Gambling is at everyone's will, and nobody is being forced to gamble, so I believe betting companies don't want gamblers to get addicted.

[Berry2d]

The primary objective of every entrepreneur is to make profit and not lost, no matter the kind of business the person gets involved in at any time. If thinking that betting companies wants us to be addicted, what will you say about gasket producers, are they also praying for people to die so they could make sells the answer is no. In as much as we are humans, we have the right to choose what we want either to  be controlled by greed in gambling or set boundaries that will govern your gambling activities to avoid addiction and not channel the blames on the company who's objective is to get rich and also make you rich

Getting addicted is between the gambler and himself because casinos doesn't even no if a gambler is addicted, when the gamblers regularly stake and leveraging high they wouldn't no if addiction was the cause but all they no is that the games they have and good users friendly is why the gamblers doesn't give up. Is an unfactual assumptions for people to think that casino knows those who are addicted because that's not the objective of casinos, besides gamblers are not ignorant that casinos should be watching there volume of gambling. A lost gambler who is losing himself to gambling could actually be thinking if that was the intention of the gambling company but I don't see it to be true.

If you ask me, I would say that the betting companies don't fucking care if you're addicted or not. So Long as they are making their profit of  course that's what matters the most, as a matter of fact they have set rules so it is Left for you the gambler to adopt or you leave it but one thing for sure is they will not be accountable for any mess you brought upon yourself.

A lot of people are of the opinion that betting companies are out to get them but like you said betting companies don't actually care about that, if there's anything they vehemently kick against gambling addiction and irresponsible gambling so they won't be held accountable for that, every gambler should be able to be in control of their gambling activities...betting companies careless about that

I also think players come up with various things, even things like this in this thread, but in my opinion, it's simply players trying to justify their losses this way. They don't want to admit they lost, even if they have no reason to win, but for some reason they think they'll be the one to succeed. Although it's worth mentioning that bookmakers won't turn down players who stick around for a long time, not just if they place two bets and leave. There's a lot to consider here, but first and foremost, it's the player's will, and no one else acts on their behalf, only they.

TBH, I don’t think betting companies or casinos really cares about if someone is addicted or not.. But for sure gambling has that addictive vibe so customers can easily be addicted to gambling.. Which for sure casino or betting platform benefits from when their customers are addicted..
And also they often kidda make the platforms and options in the casino so attractive, and when the odds tied to games looks really attractive, it would make gamblers to always want to take advantage of that game..

Every casino's only goal and intention is to profit from the gamblers playing on their platform nothing more. In short, they don't care if a gambler’s life is ruined or if their players become addicts.

This is the truth, and they likely know that this is how the system works in the crypto gambling businesses within our industry. So, if anyone becomes an addict, the casino owner isn't to blame because, at the end of the day, it was the gambler's choice.

Gambling is a business that is owned by humans like us and every business have their targets and profits must be made no matter what, I believe that gambling site wasn't created to favor us the gambling and we win only by luck and allowing us to win too some times is a strategy to keep us coming back to gamble more. So I'm just surprised if they actually want gamblers to get addicted because that's how they make money because they don't really care about anyone but they are more interested in the profits so they come up with many ways to get more people to gamble and at the same time they are not forcing anyone to be irresponsible with your money so it's better to gamble responsibly.

The mathematical calculations are laid out in this industry to ensure the platform owners get profits in the long run. The temporary awards the players gain are just but a component of their operation cost, they need to sustain the gaming ecosystem to be popular in the market. This fact necessitates the recognition of the fact that market mechanisms are not concerned with the financial condition of people. The only sure protection against this business system is complete knowledge of the risks.

Everyone and their decision, people can’t be forced to do what is not in their mind or should they be influenced by what they know it’s not good especially adults, though most people are easily influenced by what they may hear or see but in case like this, it’s better that people should verify any information that comes their way, so that they will not be carried away, which they might make mistakes that will ruined their plans or investment.

[silpersurfer]

I liken it to the tobacco industry Cigarette expressly display warnings in advertising and on every pack that smoking is injurious to health though in reality, they do not discourage or stop people from smoking. In the end, the individual is the one on whom the responsibility falls. Just the same with gambling. Casinos or gambling establishments are not illegal, nor do they force anyone to place bets. They also place "responsible gambling" in their advertisements but that's more of a formality and a legal protection. In practice, the systems, promotions, and game designs are still designed to be as attractive as possible to keep people playing.

Gambling establishments aren't completely "friendly" to players but they're not entirely to blame, too. Just like cigarettes, everyone knows the risks. In the end, it falls in the player's self-awareness and control of emotions plus the ability to limit themselves whether gambling just becomes a pastime or it turns out to be a problem.
