Yes, casinos will try to get players playing as much as possible, just as food manufacturers keep increasing the sugar content of the food to make us junkies of it. It is thus for everyone to decide if they can really deal with game in a responsible manner or they would need to do something more radical, like stop playing for a while or play socially to make sure they do not loose it.

That obviously ain't no fault of the casinos or game offerers. It's all about the gambler and his or her gambling habits not to understand where to draw the line or call it in for a day.

You know, when a gambler after a long time of lose and then suddenly starts to make some wins, you get the delusion that, its your lucky day and wants to make maximum use of it but, luck does run out and you might have as well hit your luck for the day with the win you've got.

Best to always take a time out and go home or logout. Tomorrow always presents some new opportunities.

There's always a large percentage of people losing then winning and that's how the casino stay in business. Without this happening this way then the casino would had ran out of money to payout to their winners since we have people winning daily.

But because, when you compare the percentage of those winning to losing, there losers are always higher and that's because people don't gamble responsibly, people still gamble for revenge or use their emotion which are very wrong ways to gamble.

Gambling irresponsibly gets you addicted and when you get addicted then it becomes an issue to win bets as you'll always lose. To gamble responsibly, then you have to know your limit and set a standard that you'll following to prevent irresponsible decisions like over betting.

If you gamble with a mindset of doubling the money, there is a high chance that you will not play responsibly and at some point, there will be an element of greed and emotions in your game. In order to play responsibly, you should lower your expectations from gambling. There is nothing wrong to expect to win and gain money from gambling, but making 2x overnight is not the realistic approach.

Every gamblers is in the market to make profits but the problem is that some go gamblers do prioritize making profit as a compulsory move for them to always to be a profitable gambler when it is very obvious that have consistent profits in gambling is all about the amount you are using to make bets and how much risk you are able to take.
There are some bet that are very risky and the ratio is 50 50. Winning or losing and if you are fortunate enough, you might end up winning. We need to ensure that we utility the opportunity that we have in a good but not in a desperate manner.

I think this boils down to the priorities of a person gambling. If he/she gambles with the aim of gaining profit, then that person might feel devastated every game as they always aim for a win. If a person gambles purely for entertainment and for that adrenaline rush, then regardless of the result, that person would be satisfied with every game, thereby decreasing the chances of them being addicted.

This is the problem on what majority of the people feel since they view gambling as an activity of earning money. Sure, you can double your money tonight but it also carries the risk of losing everything at once.

Just like in trading where we have individuals we refer to as professionals same applies to gambling. A professional gambler must not bond to gambling to be referred to as professional, neither is he an addict. They're  preferably seasoned gamblers that know when to to quit  when he observes a red flag in his luck for the day, never desperate by having to  throw in money meant for other projects regardless, and understands that gambling is a game of luck no matter how many years you have put in it doesn't mean you will always win.

Gambling responsibly is not about getting pleasure but rather controlling or moderating our gambling activities in order to prevent a financial catastrophe.  A player can beat casino if they decide to quit when they are winnings.  But obviously, if the player decides to continuously play he will get beaten eventually.


Casino provide bonuses so that players will have additional funds to prolong their gambling activities.  These bonuses are provided to keep players on the platform.  I don't find any problem with that.  If bonus seems a problem to a person, then that person needs to reevaluate his gambling engagement.

that's why we are all given bonuses to provide comfort for us to continue playing using bonuses and our money, even though there are many but no wins are obtained, once again it all depends on luck, so don't continue the game if you always lose playing, always play wisely without feeling emotions because playing without limitations from ourselves it will be difficult to get a win that makes us become gambling addicts. self-control in gambling is good.

Remember the casino is not a place to distribute free money but come to get your money, whenever you play they will always be a winner, so be wise in playing until you really find your lucky day playing, because as far as my experience has never won a game in a casino except sports betting. 

The casinos will always seek the way to attract people to do many things, among those things is to play and play, I cannot say that the bonuses sometimes harm us, but they do harm if you only want to get money from a casino, but if you want to play regardless of whether you win or not, then it is the best option you can have, because that is how you can play more, because the bonuses are more money, but not the withdrawable money, but for the player to have fun,so that depends on The way the player sees it, if he sees it that way to have fun, it is the best casino in the world with the best promotions,but if the player just Wants to win, he will see it as taking his money.

you are right, if we gamble responsibly then we will get pleasure even though we continue to experience losses. however beating the casino will not be possible, they will continue to win from the gambler. they provide bonuses to keep the gambler tying in to keep playing in their casino. so when we have no control over what we do in the casino, it can be bad gambling. we are all aware, we will only get a few wins, and we will get losses. but we will continue to seek our luck.

Casinos always win. We can't deny it because that's where their business is, and casinos try to win even if they win easily. While gamblers have to try hard first to win, only a few can even be counted on the fingers of anyone who wins. The others had to return home defeated.

We can't win from home, but we can play gambling responsibly so that the number of losses is not large. We have to do it ourselves and no one else; if someone else has lost a lot, we have to prevent it from happening. And if we win, we must immediately quit the game.

Casinos, just like any other business, will always come up with ways to make people spend more in their platform. The thing is, they can only encourage people to spend, not force them to do so. That decision will always be on the gambler, and while casinos may have some sort of help in making the gambler addicted, they're not the whole culprit.

If casinos making players spend is something unethical because it produces addicts, other industries should also stop their marketing strategies because it is making people lose money.

Well just like I said earlier, casinos cent be blamed for players' actions since it's out of their control to detect players when and how to use their platforms, I don't really know how self-exclusion work in some casinos anyways because the majority of complaints we hear about casinos being responsible for some silly player addictions is based on one fact that.

When they already self-exclude themselves from the casino, they still receive promotional emails from the casinos which ultimately tempt them to return back to active gambling thereby luring them back into addictions.

So it will be better for casinos that offer self-exclusion to also wipe out players who use this option emails from their newsletter,  that way they won't continue to get the promotional offers via emails, and another way to do that os for the player to unsubscribed from newsletter before optioning out of the platform.

I must, with great respect, challenge the notion that casinos are the lone culprits of gambling addiction. Ultimately, it's the gambler who chooses to play and sets the stakes. Sure, promos and bonuses entice, but self-restraint is up to the individual. Gambling, akin to movies or sports events, offers entertainment. Casinos? Merely profit-seekers, like any business. Policing patrons isn't their gig. The onus lies with folks to own their actions and find help if needed.

It would be very strange if a company didn't do promotions, including casinos. How do you tell people they exist when they're not promoting anything? lol
I can't deny that there are still pros and cons in certain circles. But it all comes back to our own assessment, I also won't blame people who in the end they get addicted to gambling, because of course there are causes and effects. But again and again I will say that there is no compulsion here.
We can ask gamblers directly, did they come of their own volition or by force.

Just looking at the negative effects of gambling alone is enough for a regular person not to get involved into gambling that much.
Problem is, they look gambling as like a way for them to become rich in a quick way. They look gambling as a way for them to make their life better. Worse, there are some addicted gamblers who are doing some bad things, and sometimes brutal things just to have some funds that would be use to gamble.

I will just share a true story of our neighbor here in our place. He got addicted into gambling. So much that he will sell all of the things that he has. His property, his motorcycle, his phone, everything that he has just to have money to gamble. He would even rob into our neighborhood so that he can have the money. Unfortunately, he is in a state where he's crazy, depressed, and we often see him begging from different people so that he can have money now not to gamble, but to buy foods. Overall, he got addicted to gambling, and now he is having a hard time to the point that his family members are staying away from him already.

I wonder if there are some people who look gambling as a path to success? Is there any 

Anyway, for newbies out there, take OP's advice, and stick it to your head. Don't gamble that much because it will make you addicted. Have plans whenever you gamble. Having a good mindset before gambling will help you because it helped me. Overall, nothing is stopping us from gambling, but know when to gamble, and when not to gamble if needed.

Actually in this case we should know some awareness about this because after all, beating the gambling house is one of the things that is impossible to do regardless of how strong and how much capital we have.
On the other hand, there are of course some conditions where gambling remains an inseparable thing from us as gamblers but the intention should be a little more changed.
Winning is obviously an expectation but the main point is the thrill and fun it provides so we don't expect much from it.
Winning as such is just an added value to the fun it gives us.

They always win, it will not be lucrative if they aren't winning at all. It's a given that you won't be able to beat the whole house but it's a given as well that you're just winning it with other gamblers that plays with the casino.

Yeah, the house always has the big advantage and even luck is with you. If you don't know how to work with sooner or later, you'll
lose everything back and the house will win.

It's best to set your entertainment goals if you really wanted not to engage too much. I mean, if you don't have any plans to play for a long period
then just set your expectations and enjoy your stay while playing.

It's always your responsibility to protect and conserve your hard earned money. It's the first obligation that you need to remember.
