Topic: Casino companies' responsibilities to rehabilitation institutions (Read 375 times)

I think it depends only in the addict or their severity because I already saw some drug addicts before, who still can talk, walk, and do other things that a normal people can do. There might also be addicted gamblers, who are like losing their minds already and not functional anymore.

Addicted gambler being sent to the farm sounds funny at first but then I realized that it was actually beneficial. Even the normal people likes to go there too, especially if they are really stressed out. It can help them calm their minds. Special place for addicts do exist. What about the rehabilitation centre? If stopping their addiction on their own is hard, then this is the best place for them.

I also haven't seen it until today although it is often heard that addicts should be rehabilitated to professionals but maybe that is only for illegal drugs as far as I know about CSR, I also haven't found that someone who is addicted to gambling is entered into the program and or out of it.

Most of the time they are rehabilitated by their own family or consulted by a psychiatrist, there is no place for gambling addicts so far, but if I were to guess there might be one or two who come to CSR for treatment but who would know about that, we can only make assumptions about this.

You have raised an incredibly relevant and important question, perhaps this is the most interesting topic in gambling that I have ever seen!
I think casinos should definitely recognize that their gambling can cause addiction and it is necessary to allocate a certain percentage of their earnings (in the form of tax or voluntary contributions) to help those people who turned out to be weak before addiction, and their personal lives and careers suffered.
These are normal facts, and they exist, so why don't gambling platforms make such a "kind gesture" and show the community that they are not indifferent to the existing problem?

I think it is unnecessary for casinos to pay for rehabilitation for gambling addicts. Every adult can make his or her own decisions and has to bear the consequences of those decisions. It is people's own responsibility to continue addictive habits such as gambling, smoking, drinking alcohol, etc., even if they have a negative impact on their lives. For example, have you ever seen a cigarette company opening a health center for cancer patients? Or alcohol companies opening treatment centers for alcohol addicts?

Casinos do not have to open rehabilitation centers for gambling addicts. Because such initiatives by companies against their customers show that those companies are actually trying to inculcate evil. In this case, nobody will prefer the bad. So these companies will continue to work to make themselves look more entertaining.

I am not really or directly comparing cigarettes to casino, I am only citing a picture with a scenario that is almost similar to such character that is being discussed and you have also concluded everything in a nutshell, that casino is a business that was developed for profit making and not some sort NGOs that's carrying out any charity work for the community business.

Gamblers should learn how to prevent themselves  from addicted rather to seek a corporate social responsibility from casino because they will never get it.

It is because such idiots exist that any big business is involved in politics/lobbying (and not in a legal way). There will always be a lazy person, an idiot, a moral monster who wants to do “good things” at the expense of others. Unfortunately, this is one of the defects of democracy - your rights can be “legally” violated because officials are guided by the opinions of voters (many of whom are simply stupid to even minimally understand life).

I think Casinos do not charge anything for those affected by gambling addiction because casinos only run their business for those who want to use and do not force someone to gamble and someone who has a gambling addiction is their own fault who cannot control themselves and it is not their fault the casino. Even though casinos are a business that has a bad impact on society, the fact is that there are still many people who are interested in gambling games, so casinos continue to operate in society and don't care even if their users experience gambling addiction because the most important thing for them is just making a profit.

This is the same as when someone is addicted to drugs and the dealer does not pay for a rehabilitation center for users who are addicted to drugs. In my opinion, those who pay for someone who is addicted are helped by the government to resolve someone who is addicted so that the family feels helped by this assistance and not pay for it yourself because not all families can afford to pay for one of their families who is in addiction recovery, so with government assistance, the surrounding environment will be free from detrimental addictions so that it doesn't impact others.

I believe that social responsibility is being distorted in the OP, because the casino is not guilty and should not be held responsible for people who have become addicted to gambling, for this reason casinos are not morally obligated and are not obligated to keep making donations to rehabilitation clinics, if the casinos kept giving money to rehabilitation clinics, then it would be like them considering themselves guilty of the bad path that those people who became addicts took. I think that casinos are doing their role in social responsibility very well when they support football teams and football leagues because in this way they develop football which at the same time generates jobs and money for many people and creates a better life for many people. This, in my opinion, is what I consider social responsibility.

about people addicted to gambling, I feel sorry for them and I hope they all get cured, but I appeal to all people involved in gambling to play responsibly, don't think that closing a casino account will solve the problem of addiction, because it will not solve the problem of addiction. When someone feels like they can't control themselves, they always think about gambling, so that person should seek medical help in the real world, the costs to cure an addicted person in clinics vary in price, but I think that paying the clinics to get cured should be a priority , because it doesn't make sense for a person to play with $10,000, they become addicted to the point of losing more than $100,000 in total and when they seek help at a clinic and hear the $500 prayer they end up complaining that the clinic's price is too expensive and who wouldn't accept that money

I don't think they need to. A gambler has a choice to register and gamble or choose to only go through the sites and not gamble but if you decide to gamble then you have taken the choice of being responsible to your self. However, I see some offline gambling houses that support communities financially and otherwise when they are invited to support youth activities.


Of course you may not have hold on online casinos as they are not actually exploiting any of the natural resources in outside the country where they are located. Even in the country that they are operating their system from, they are not making use of natural resources. So I don't see csr on them. You can talk of off line casinos if need be, maybe they could help to sponsor some youth activities relating to growth in the youth and soccer.


They follow the gamble responsibly which is already a warning not to be irresponsible with your bankroll and limit underage gambling. Outside that, they can't guide against those who by volition consented to all other requirements of gambling through their registration and provision of KYC.

I agree with the idea that the money coming from casino/gambling taxes should be used by the government and the healthcare system to cover rehabilitation expenses. However, I'm not sure that many countries around the world are going this. Are the online casinos with a Curacao gambling license paying any taxes? I'm not sure about this.
I think that corporate social responsibility is usually conducted voluntarily by many businesses, and the governments shouldn't make it mandatory. The crypto gambling industry is really competitive and I don't think that any crypto casino would decide to spend money on rehabilitation and voluntarily lower it's profit margins.

It is a good thought that gambling companies should take part of the responsibilities of rehabilitating gamblers that got addicted through gambling. But I know that the idea can not be feasible for a lot of reasons, they advice gamblers to gamble responsibly, so if a gambler doesn't take their advice and degenerates to become addicted, nobody can hold them responsible. I believe that if gambling companies takes up the task or responsibilities of rehabilitating gambling addicts, it can get out of hand because we might have more addicts, some gamblers won't mind becoming addicts, as they know that gambling companies will take care of them.

This is one of the reasons why gambling is for adults who are old enough to make choices and take own decisions, and if they becomes irresponsible gamblers and gets addicted, I don't think that the consequences should be on the gambling companies.

This is the first time I have heard about such services; perhaps they are more popular in those countries where casinos are allowed and popular. However, in my opinion, requiring a casino to pay for the treatment of an addicted person is equivalent to demanding that alcohol companies pay for the treatment of alcoholics. This is somewhat counterintuitive to me. Adults who go to play in casinos are responsible for their actions. The only thing the casino can do is warn each time that the game is taking too long and the person is on the site or in the room for a long time. However, this is also unlikely; not a single casino will work against its profits.

That's the responsibility of every individuals who really wanted to change themselves and I don't think so rehabilitations of gambling should come to a specific institution. Unlike with drug related cases, gambling is a very serious matter to correct but not with really worst than drugs. However if you keep making gambling as a habitual thing, I believed the negative outcome always remains very traumatic experience. Not just your personal being but also for the people around your particular with your family.

If you're the government and you gives option for the casino to choose, I'm sure any casinos will choose No, why they need to choose Yes and they didn't get anything? casino is a profit oriented business, their main source of income is loss from the gamblers, if the casino create rehabilitation institutions, they will not earn as much as before. First, the casino need to spend a lot money to build the institutions and second, the gambling addicts would be lower than before.

It's the same thing, addiction is addiction and everyone needs to get on a rehab or medications once a person is suffering from severe addiction. They need an assistance for their recovery and even is you say that they are different from drug addicts, the fact that some of they can't think properly and having or doing a worst decisions because of gambling then I must say that they are just like what drug addicts did. They don't need to be taken away or taken to a place where there are no people because it is possible that their feelings will be triggered more, it's just that, it's really necessary to be temporarily away from the influence of gambling especially the use of gadgets.

That matters needs to discuss between the government and casino. If casino agree with that, the casino can charged to helps the rehabilitation centers provides to helps cases related to gambling addiction. That can helps government to solve gambling addiction that happens in their city.

But if that is about online casinos, that will not easy as it cross the border from the region. But government can send a proposal to some casinos about CSR program and we hope that casino will agree and gives some helps to that program. That depends on every online casino because many of them runs their business out of that country.

The gambling addiction is a serious matters that needs to be solved. But it is personal awareness that must realizes that gambling is just an entertainment. Maybe government can educate people in their jurisdiction not to use gambling to make money.

There is a very good analogy on this issue. For example, we can compare how crypto exchanges are doing in this regard. After all, you know that in trading there are also addicted players (gamblers). Although, apparently, in trading the problem of addicted people is not as acute as in gambling. Nevertheless, there are also gambling addicts in trading. So, as far as I know, crypto exchanges do not transfer any funds to help rehabilitation centers for addicts. Although the consequences of unsuccessful trading are quite comparable to unsuccessful gambling. People are losing their homes, for example. Many players commit suicide after big losses.

The gambling industry is already taxed at very high levels by the governments in order to use part of those funds to help the people that could be addicted to gambling, so I do not see why casinos must pay for rehabilitation centers when they are already doing so.

So if for some reason there are not enough of those centers around your community, then the government is to blame, as it is clear politicians are not using that money for its stated purpose.

If gambling can be this complicated, then I think there should be a ban to gambling. In my opinion, this is not really necessary because addiction can comes from anywhere and are rehabilitation provided for them. Have you seen a person who loves to be drunk all the time rehabilitated before, have you seen who is addicted to womanizing rehabilitated before? The answer is no because things are adult decisions and it's their responsibility.

If you a person is addicted to gambling and never yield any positive impact on such person, they should just quit and never try anything gambling again. I have not seen a person that quits gambling dies before neither do they fall sick, it's about been responsible and stop acting like someone who doesn't have a life and the addicted gambler will be fine.

For me I know that casinos are out to make money, they don't really care about what happens to their customers as a result of patronizing them, If casinos can be charged on the effect of their service to their customers I think it will be better but before this, it should be included in the law governing the individual country so that nailing such casino wouldn't be difficult, if not the gambling company can come up with good lawyers that can turn the case against the victims but realistically this should be done to protect gamblers of the adverse effect of gambling itself, families and relatives of addicted gamblers are not suppose to face this problem of rehabilitation alone, the casino companies are suppose to contribute their quota in other to share responsibilities with the victims family, that's my take on this.

The potential for casinos to foster addiction in society is enormous. Considering the large number of addiction cases and the large rehabilitation costs borne by the victims' families, it is natural for casinos to impose corporate social responsibility (CSR) on these rehabilitation centers. Such a move allows these institutions to offer discounted or even free treatment to those battling cases of gambling addiction. In many cases, they do not have the time or money to seek help but are still impacted by these socio-economic problems, which can only be addressed through CSR efforts from other sectors. Online casinos, being global in nature, must also integrate CSR effectively. They might consider funding international rehabilitation programs, and providing assistance to addicts in various countries. Additionally, online casinos can offer information and easy access to addiction support services on their platforms and pledge a small portion of their revenues to mental health treatment and rehabilitation efforts. For online casinos: they have to operate globally, so they also have to adopt CSR properly.

According to my researches on this, gambling sites are not ready to fund any rehabilitation organization. Gamblers have the whole thing to do by themselves. Addiction starts from greediness and the ability of someone to be thinking that he can earn money from gambling. But in the process of such thinking, the person will be greedy and gamble to make money but losing instead. If anyone is not satisfied, the person can go for the government to impose more tax on the gambling site so that the government can fund such a thing. Or the person can go for the government to make the gambling sites to fund such a thing.

centers can provide discounts for cases related to gambling addiction?
Yes, it could be a good thing on speaking about lesser expense to those who are really that addicted.

what about online casinos, how should they carry out csr since they operate globally?
Possible, but it would really be hard to integrate considering that online operations isnt something that
could really be easily be traced it up if you do tend to make up some verification.

As for rehab then it would really be that exaggerated about providing almost everything as if you were on a hospitalization.
Providing some rehabs then it would be an another expenses and this is something that they dont really like,.

Obviously, this should be voluntarily done by a gambling provider. In the first place, no gambling site or industry forced gamblers to play so there's no need to blame others for your mistake in particular with those related to addiction. Gambling too much is a choice; either you are just greedy of profit or you have strong desire to get rich quickly. It is our sole responsibility as gamblers to control yourself and to manage your . But I'm glad that there are gambling communities which are open on helping fellow people. Heard of those who are conducting  missions and feeding programs to under privileged communities as a form of giving back. However, a gambling provider paying a gambler's rehabilitation fees would be too much in my opinion. This is not something like insurance that a company complies for their employee. I would more consider this if the gambling site is the one to make an offer or help to a gambler.

Are all these what is constituted on the terms and conditions before establishing a casino gambling platform in any country, if by law the government enact the use of this conduct then they will have no option than to see it as a personal responsible to be in charge of CSR, and as for those we often see that go into this acts, they are well renown organizations and companies who have the affordability of taking care of that aspect and there is department assigned to mange and monitor such section within their management team.

The reality is, in most countries, the gambling companies do not have any such responsibility and nor should it necessarily be in their hands. If a government is regulating the industry wisely, then they should be taxing this kind of company quite punitively and that would help to offset the negative aspects that they might spill into society. As part of that they could be forced to make a mandatory contribution of a percentage in profits to a completely independent industry body that can support players with a problem. They should definitely be forced to have an effective opt out system too, allowing you to self exclude up to 5 years. The trouble is there are just so many other options online that exist in different regulatory frameworks.

Any person can get addicted to any person, any medicine, any drug, any activity, any habit, any everything. Is it the duty of wine, beer, whisky and other alcoholic drink manufacturers to take care of alcoholics? Should they fund alcohol rehabilitation programs? It's the nature of humans to blame others instead of their own self for every bad that happens to them but I think that it's not duty of casinos to fund rehabilitation centers for gambling addicts. If any casino does that and funds such centers, it's simply the expression of kindness.
The only duty that I think casinos should carry is to offer informational resources about possible gambling addiction that can occur with any person.

If casinos were taxed fairly then the state would have enough money to take care of any addicted persons that needs help.

The big issue with taxation is that it is inherently unfair. Your tax rate as a working man would be 70% or something if you have the same income as a casino and it's taxed regardless of expenses. Casinos have business tax rates at 25% or lower even and generally can also count in expenses to reduce taxation. But it's not just casinos, it's the whole system. Things could change for the better if only we had some honest politicians. But that's not very realistic to think about in most countries. They're just crooks ready to serve the system but not the people.

Casinos? Like all the casinos? Because some random new casino is hardly a reason why some other person that uses 10 other casinos is addicted. Are those casinos supposed to pay so that people in somewhere in the world get the discounts? Casinos that pay taxes are already participating to all sorts of programs that are funded via taxes.

We could ask if beer manufacturers be changed for recovery of alcoholics, and netflix charged for people getting addicted to binge watching and getting nothing done. There often already are taxes for products that might be harmful for some people, so i think that's enough. I might be wrong and some casinos might actually help their customers, but i haven't heard about something like that. And it's not like one casino can be directly responsible of someone being an addict. That's both impossible to prove and confusing when it comes to different regions dealing with addiction in different ways.

I don't see a way such regulations could be enforced in the scope of online gambling, to be honest. It could be done to brick-and-mortar casinos in developed countries like the United States or within the European Union, but in my opinion, in those countries casinos already pay taxes and money collected from taxes are indirectly used to take care of the need of population in general.
Perhaps the solution is not directly to get an extra tax on casinos and betting establishments but rather change the politicians in our countries, for those who are aware of the problem of addictions to both gambling, alcohol and illegal drugs, so they can use the money already collected through taxation to fund programs which will have a positive impact in the recovering of gamblers.
One is not supposed to underestimate de taxation system of the United States and how much they get from both the average people and the owner of casinos.

I believe no, because the government could tax the casinos and build the rehabilitation themselves. Although I could see good arguments coming from both sides of the debate. But for those debating that "yes", casinos should be charged - outside of taxes, then would you also agree that the fast food industry should also be charged for the disease and the sickness that comes from eating fast food?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Each company is not affiliated with other companies or entities to cover the costs arising from its products, such as the impact of gambling addiction and also tobacco companies which, as you explained above, do not cover the costs of treating cancer, heart attacks and other diseases. This is also the same as the impact of gambling which causes stress, depression and other psychological impacts, the casino will not cover the recovery costs for rehabilitation.

So each individual bears the full costs whatever the impact of wrong behavior on the psychological impact on himself due to gambling addiction, please gamble wisely and responsibly so that you do not experience problems with gambling.

Gambling is for entertainment purposes that’s ehy the addiction part is depends on how user handle his own game.

Unlike companies that selling harmful products that cause addiction which surely results to addiction that’s why companies that involved on this industry know the effect and accept the minimal cost for csr in exchange for continuously selling their product to the market without any legal problem.

I doubt casino will do the same but it’s good if they will have since gambling addiction is already increasing due to online casino.

Just as tobacco factories are not charged to carry out CRS to rehabilitation centers or to hospitals for lung cancer patients as they are responsible for the product and not the addiction, so it is with casinos. I'm my estimation, they are under no obligation to carry out any gambling related crs projects. They could even decide that their CRS project would be on planting flowers. The rule is abide by the regulations of the regulating bodies and for what I know, rehabilitation centers or any other CRS projects are not cast in stone.

I don’t think casinos are still responsible for these gambling rehabilitation centers since gambling itself is never a do or die, so if one decides to gamble, that’s because he made it by choice and he knows the risks in gambling and is responsible enough to manage his own shortcomings with gambling. Otherwise, if every gambling addict will be solely responsible by these casinos, then expect that majority will have no worries anymore falling in gambling addiction since everything will be held responsible by their respective gambling casinos.

from what I remember there are countries that require casinos to do CSR(corporate social responsibility) but they are not forcibly required to do it towards rehabilitation centers. As far as I know, the casinos themselves pick what kind of CSR they'll do.

It should not be much different from how brick-and-mortar casinos do their CSR.

Why don't they let the 3 addicts gamble for a while and just bet on their meals? Kind of harsh I know.
But I think this should make them responsible in the end, imagine not eating a meal because they lose. The consequences of their actions make them suffer, which should open their eyes to why they should start realizing what gambling did to them.

I haven't read that such a thing exists, but if there are casinos that do this, then it is good, and gamblers will welcome this. but for me, it's the sole responsibility of the gambler to control himself and play responsibly and not to put the burden on the casino.
Casino clearly stated that they are an entertainment platform, and they have instructed gamblers about gambling addiction. Gamblers should show concern about his behavior if he is playing the right way or going out of line.

NO
I don't think it has anything to do with casinos giving rehab discounts to those who are addicted. Because it seems like the casino would rather they get addicted and keep playing. In my opinion, the simple logic is that casinos and rehab centers are like the north and south ends of a magnet. However it cannot be denied that there are casinos out there that donate money to provide assistance to rehabilitation centers, but again this sounds strange. Casinos must be responsible for those who are addicted? from the start there was no compulsion to gamble or not, casinos run their business. Meanwhile gamblers are motivated by their own decisions and addiction is caused by a lack of self control.

when it comes to an act like gambling that you have full control of, I don't think that the gambling company should be penalized for your recklessness.

People get addicted to Facebook and other social media platforms that affects thier productivity at work place and in life generally and you don't expect the owners of these firms to do the rehabilitation for the individual. If we're even considering a source of addiction that's rampant which is the smoking addiction as well as the adult content site, that's even the area where it's necessary to talk about rehabilitation of her users and thr number of users of those site and substances outnumbers the numbers of addicted gamblers we have on the street.

Just like the way you're advice to drink responsibly, smoke responsibly and not to go to the adult content site of you're not matured enough and not up to 18 years at the least, it's also the same way most gambling sight don't allow people that are not of age and that are probably immature to go into gambling.

Ideally, gambling like any other addiction cases are usually by choice and no one forces anyone to become addicted or use a service they had created. Just like cigarettes companies will write at the back of their product that smokers are liable to die young, same way casino tells their users to gamble responsibly. So for a gambler that didn't hide to this advice and became addicted, I don't see why we should point fingers to the casino for causing him problems of addiction. Besides, how do we tell the exact casino which he had played on and got addicted? He must have played in a lot of casinos both online or locally to get to such extent. So I don't see why casino woud be responsible for anyone's addiction.

Let me be very specific and focus on gambling sites. Corporate social responsibility (CRS) in gambling does not necessarily mean gambling sites should be sponsoring problem gambling research and treatment. If a gambler register on a gambling site and the site send a message of how gambling is risky and the percentage amount of money that should be used for gambling and effective self-exclusion if gambling is becoming a problem are parts of casino social responsibility. But when it comes to self-exclusion, it is not effective online (unlike land based gambling sites) except the gambling sites cooperate together but which is not happening.

Also about your question, know that those gambling sites do not care. Little regulations is still the reason they have what could limit gamblers activities on their sites and of which they are not all effective at all.

What could make the gambling sites to do what you meant such as funding support for problem gambling and partnering with gambling disorder treatment providers like the rehabilitation centers is when the regulations are too strict on the gambling sites and telling them to do so. This will make them look for ways gambling can be safe for the community but see how many countries we have that gambling is legalized and the government are receiving taxes from it which is not a small amount of money. In my country, you will see gambling ads everywhere, including on signboards and on TVs.

CSR is like covering a pig in paint. It changes nothing about whats inside. But maybe there's a point when it comes to casinos. Theres no way these places sell healthy food, do they? They're selling danger, thrills, and the chance to win a lot of money. That works out really well sometimes. Not all the time. Its a big problem when it doesnt. There are hurt families. Things are lost for people. Its a mess. Should casinos help get it clean? Yes, they should. But this is a business. They're not going to do it because they want to. They need a push.

Thats why smart rules are important. Rules that keep people safe. Rules that make these casinos answer for the problems they cause from time to time. Thats the only way this CSR stuff will make sense. If not, its just talk.

None offer that since its not their obligation to rehabilitate those people who became addicted on their business. It is full responsibility of the person on how he handle his self since if he became so careless and denial then its his fault on why he experience such bad consequences of gambling he participate.

I don't compare it to cigarette since for me its different. But can do something to eliminate this possible addiction so they just need to be always in control.

Casinos should not charge on this since what they are trying to established is profitable business and not doing any charity work on those abusive person who falls into addiction.

It is on a case-to-case basis casinos don't need to do this, they already have features and warnings for gamblers not to gamble too much, it's up to the individual how to control themselves not to fall and become addicted to gambling.
We have a responsibility and obligation to ourselves and our families to be a responsible gambler, learn to control ourselves be honest with ourselves and our families, and treat online casinos as an entertainment platform and not a platform to rehabilitate yourself because of your wrongdoing.

Any company that the operations can harm social or environmental aspect will try to avoid or at least spend as low as possible for the CSR. Rehabilitation institution is a big thing, there's no any casino will want it except their casino is already very popular like land based casino in Las Vegas or online casino like Bet 365.

Running a rehabilitation institution require capital, maintenance cost and management control that need to be operated everyday, they will choose to create one time seminar about gambling addiction.

In as much as you can't force these casinos to embark on any CSR task that they are not interested in you, can on the other hand
Try to intimate these casinos operators about the negative impact of their activities in the lives of their customers and their mental health too, and also come up with meaningful suggestion as to how these negative impact can be mitigated, research have shown that a certain percentage of gamblers either end up becoming insane as a result of depression whereas some end up committing suicide due to depression also, but this doesn't mean casino operators would want to start throwing monies around to rehabilitation centers for the treatment of such individuals but I think one of  the ways these casino operators can help is to be on the forefront of the campaign against irresponsible gambling, and also regulating the amount of money any gambler can spend per time, with these measures in place I think one might not get into trouble.

I have actually thought about the possibilities of casinos sponsoring programs and policies in the rehabilitation of gambling addicts, unfortunately, I have not seen anywhere such is done. The feasibility of such project is not also there because they will be exonerated by their caveat of "gamble eesponsibly" which is visible in all casinos. On the other hand, if they embark on such project, and attach some monetary benefits, even people who are not gambling addicts will want to benefit from it whereas the real addicts might even be ashamed to come forward because most addicts do not usually know that they have problem.

Inasmuch as this sounds good, I don't see how realistic it can be because a lot of variables will be at play such as no casino will be willing to accept responsibility of what happens to any gambler.

Casinos will not be responsible for any gamblers addiction and this is because you the gambler had it in mind to win money from the casino and that was why, you decided to gamble to the extend that you could not control yourself due to greed, and that is why so many gamblers are addict. They think that they can make profit from gambling and if you win, the casino pays you back.

There is no special place to threat addicted gamblers because it is an emotional thing and not inside ones body, unlike cigarettes that can damage the internal part of your body physically, and the hospital is there to threat such people. The only way an addict can be free from his addiction is quitting gambling.

Any taxes/payments, etc. that you impose on a business is ultimately paid for by ordinary people (consumers). Do you want the RTP in slots to be not 90-95% but 60-65%? Or so that instead of single/double zero in roulette there is a five-fold one? Here's your answer. Casinos already pay enough taxes, stop inventing new ones.

There are many gambling platforms and casinos in my country, but none of them offer this kind of service. The casino doesn't advise gamblers to become addicted, so if any gambler decides to become addicted, it's their cause to bear and not the casino's. The casino tells customers in their policy that gambling is only for people over the age of 18 and lets everyone gamble at their own risk. So they don't feel concerned about the CSR service. 

In some cigarette packs that are being sold in my country, it is boldly written on the cigarette packs: "Smokers are liable to die young; smoking causes mouth cancer." Despite those warnings on the park, people are still buying and smoking, and if anything happens to them, there is no way the tobacco companies will provide any CSR service to victims. 

In my opinion, casinos should not be charged to carry out CSR services because they don't force any gamblers to become addicted. 

I'm sure it can't be done. The case would differ if the company employed workers and experienced a work accident. but this time it's the case of a gambling addict. The casino has no obligation to pay the costs or part of the costs of the rehabilitation process for gambling addicts.

Gambling is part of an activity that is carried out alone and without coercion. Casinos do not employ gamblers. they play according to their wishes. The casino will probably give you advice not to become an addicted gambler. but to provide compensation from gambling addicts I don't think it will happen.

so why are cigarette companies taxed and csr on health institutions? isn't it their own choice for smokers to smoke? so what you said is not a strong reason to justify why casinos are not forced to do csr.




you never see it doesn't mean it doesn't exist right? in my neighborhood there is a rehabilitation center and there are 3 patients who are addicted to gambling and they are quite aggressive in asking to gamble.

Well, I don't think any online casino is doing this movement or if they have rehabilitation for gambling addicts. It's not their responsibility anymore unless they make one on their own will or in their own campaign, but believe me, I don't think any online casino is doing this movement or if they have rehabilitation for gambling addicts. It's not their responsibility anymore unless they make one on their own will or in their own campaign, but believe me, I don't think there are many that will do that because it will cost them a lot of fortune, and of course it's not their responsibility anymore. They are not the ones that make a gambler become addicted. I'm not siding with the casino or online casino; it's just that people think that someone needs to be responsible for someone who's making themselves miserable. I mean, who causes someone to be addicted? The gambler itself, let's be mature guys. We can't keep saying that a platform should be the one to be responsible; at first, the gambler itself should be the one to become responsible for itself and learn to control itself. Let's normalise that.

Gambling addiction is not like drug addiction, the individual who is addicted to gambling is still functional for society while the one who is addicted to drugs is not functional for society. And i don't think the gambler should be sent to a "farm" to recover, he only need to stay away from casinos and keep moving on with his personal life, focus on the job and focus on the family, that's all.

I have never seen a gambler addicted in a special place for recovery, i don't even think that exists.

What I know if someone needs help like this, gambling sites provide a link on their site which is about responsible gambling. If you read the responsible gambling, you will see advice and later you will see the gambling site paste some links if you need help if you are already a gambling addict.

Casinos or other gambling site are not going to be charged any money at all. Gambling is by choice, not that the casino force anyone to gamble.

I do not know much about this. It is possible that they operate globally but having branches in necessary countries. I have not gone to this extent before. When I got addicted, losses lessons that gambling taught me made me quit gambling for a long period of time.

corporate social responsibility (csr) is an activity carried out by companies on the social and environmental impacts caused by their company's operations, and in this case, casinos have the potential that their operations can cause many cases of addiction in society. there have been many cases of addiction caused by gambling and usually the families of these victims bear the costs of rehabilitating these addicts themselves. usually the family will pay for the various needs of these addicts, such as food, hospitalization, etc., and that is not a little because there are addicts who need months to recover.

my question is, do casinos need to be charged to carry out csr to rehabilitation centers so that these rehabilitation centers can provide discounts for cases related to gambling addiction? and what about online casinos, how should they carry out csr since they operate globally?
