hmph..

The main mistake remains for gamblers because they do not have the knowledge to bet on money that is worth losing for gambling games for fun, to avoid gambling addiction that you do not need to be involved every time for gambling because at times it is difficult to avoid the addiction to gambling from using money which should not be deposited in gambling.

When we're addicted to something, sometimes it's not just about knowing and ready to lose the money. However, mental and emotional factors often make a gambler forget what he should be doing. It could be, the person who did this to his family because of his unstable emotions. He hopes to win too much, so he tries in any way to get the money so he can bet again. I recently made a mistake when I borrowed money for gamble, after exceeding the limit I originally set before. Lucky for me, when I used the borrowed money, I won and was able to make a full refund. Something like this might also happen to the suspect. He wanted to win, but there was no more money to play with, thus making his family a victim. That is why, playing intensity is an important thing that needs to be done. The more often we play, the more unhealthy our emotional becomes. This has happened to me once, when I gambled almost every day. Now, I've let go, even if I gamble, I deposit once, if I lose, it's over. This is to prevent me from making the same mistake before. Because, victory is not determined by how much we gamble, so limiting as suggested by my friends is an important thing that I must remember.

Feel pity for this man. He might not have anyone left on his side when he is back to the reality. Lets says he'd be in prison for impersonating someone and after that he goes out. His family may hate him for what he did and will have no place to go because of this.

He must have thought he'd get lucky and win using the money and then pay. He is too optomistic for a gambler.

Both the bettor and Boyle Sports are at fault but i might not blame Boyle sport that much because the bettor allowed greed eat up his emotions. Going extra mile to scam a family member just to continue gambling is another level of addiction altogether. Gambling companies are profit seeking establishment too and not a charity organization they might want to go any length to keep their bettors regular and this is where discipline comes in on the path of the gambler

I certainly agree with this. There's no one to be blamed but the gambler because things could have been better if that person knows how to control himself from the beginning. Yes, gambling addiction is hard to resist but if we really want to stop, then we should do it wholeheartedly and readily which includes the total deletion or unsubscription to promotional emails. Free funds from promotions are just a trap and if we fall for it, we'll surely lose everything in the end.

Here the gambler is wrong. As a means of promotion gambling platforms used to give free betting bonuses. If this bonus have been given knowing that the user is gonna end gambling, then the gambling platform too is wrong. Myself too have similar experience playing with bonus when I was in long break from gambling, and from my experience it is always good to have self control.

It's really saddening that a lot of problematic gamblers will take down this path especially if they no longer have any money to fund their gambling habits. They are not only destroying their lives but also the lives of other people that surround them. Hopefully this serves as a very painful lesson to the gambler in question, otherwise once he got out and still does not remove gambling from his system, he will still do it again and would surely do everything in his power to evade being caught by law enforcement.

Boyle Sports just did their job, they don't care if what would happen to their gambler as long as they win. It's pure business for them, so us gamblers, we have to ensure that we are still responsible so we can only gamble what we can afford to lose.

Gambling is suppose to be an entertainment, but it's true that there are some people who are addicted to it, but it's not right to blame it all to the gambling sites as in the first place they are operating with permit, and the government are benefiting from their income through the taxes they are paying.

I agree. The gambler, at the end of the day, still has full responsibility of whatever happens to him/her due to his/her activities. They are a business seeking profit, not a charity helping people. If they are to help every single problematic gambler that is using their platform, they will just lose money in the process. Problematic gamblers can apply themselves through the self-exclusion program, but they still have to look for themselves to never visit any gambling platforms while they are trying to recuperate from their addiction.

What do you think who was in the wrong ?
I think both the bettor and the Boyle Sports were in the wrong.

Both are indeed wrong but there's no law that could really make out immediate or proper action specially if there would no agreements involved like "self-exclusions" which the user had made out some
request for him not to recieve any mails in related with promotions because its totally irresponsible or mistake if they do still sent out despite of such condition or scenario.

As a gambling addict then you could do sort of things which it would be mainly affecting on people around you even with your own family which you could really be
able to scam out specially if you dont have money to spent through gambling.

That's right, control is entirely on everyone. The service providers provide a place, they cannot limit what they do with the money they hold in the account they have. Don't know where the money is from as long as the account moves to stream normally there are no reports of crimes then it will not be banned.
As the author said, I think it happens a lot. Not only deceptive, but for those who are not smart fund management will spend property owned by family or parents. It happened in my area, the car, the land they sold to cover the forest due to mismanagement of funds they did.
Yes bro,actually any activity, it has limits from pleasure, love and excessive ambition makes a person forget what is called a hobby and entertainment. I assume (gambling) should be the one who can choose it himself, any company will understand when the time comes take a break from any game, entertain yourself with a trial or something fit. The friends above discuss the role of other people to help recover themselves, the mindset and curiosity from gambling adversity. In my opinion, games are just games. And the company definitely wants to provide the best service for its consumers.and once again men or whoever has it has a choice for a trip and the company has an offer.so get to know yourself(gambler) because something is created for interest in a particular field, which is unique, varied and may bring big profits.then get to know the risk that will be accepted, whatever it is friend.
and recognize the vision and mission of gambling, it can turn from the law, the reality from dreams or hopes that are too forced

I have heard and even witnessed something like this happened. At the end of the day, it is the bettor who is at fault for falling into the trap set, but of course the gambling company has a lot of role to play in triggering the gamblers. Gamblers has the power to reject or let themselves be under the influence of their addiction once again. I just hire that they seek whatever help they need, especially professional help.
We are in control of ourselves to be attracted or disinterested to play casino excessively without control, so casino companies are not involved in wrongdoing because they are not forcing someone to register a gambling member or not. All decisions are up to each one of them, so don't be influenced by anything that makes us active gambling addicts.

There are a lot of people who have the same scenario and experience with this kind of situation and i guess they are the one who needs some help because even if they cant handle any more having a gambling addiction they need some support came from their friends and family to make sure they are really guided, its already in a different level. It is good if there's another way to entertain them not into the gambling because for sure they will urge to earn back their assets.
They need assistance from family and relatives to help recover from gambling addiction, because only they can motivate him to get out of the dark life that destroys him from social relations between families, because the anger of gamblers cannot be controlled other than to obey his wishes. So if he is not able to recover himself from gambling addiction then he should be with the help of rehabilitation so that he does not linger in the badness of gambling.

It is interesting on the basis of what law the casino should think about the “worldview” of its client. If he did not want to receive any information from the casino, then he should have closed the opportunity to receive letters from them (black list, just do not read them, etc. - many possibilities), but blame someone for the fact that because of them he committed a crime extremely strange to me.

Here is the article: https://www.irishexaminer.com/news/courtandcrime/arid-40875731.html
Apparently Boyle Sports manipulated a man is a very sad way where he ended up loosing all the money he scammed from a family member. The man had probelms with Gambling and he tried to stop by closing the account on the website and at the end of the day they saw him stopping but kept sending him mails and at the same time, they apparently sent him a 50$ free betting which at the end ending up to be awful for him since he started it again and ended up loosing all the fortune. The whole things is extremely complex like Some Sherlock Holmes story. The person was not infact gullible since to fuel his gambling addiction he scammed his family member and then went to court and pleaded guilty as well blamed it all on the Boyle Sports.
What do you think who was in the wrong ?
I think both the bettor and the Boyle Sports were in the wrong.

I do not see anything complicated in this story. This man is a scammer and he is only trying to shift his blame to others. It will be funny if the court finds that Boyle Sports is also guilty - then I expect a wave of similar lawsuits from idiots who received "undesirable" advertising about how good a Porsche car is, went and robbed a bank, or after receiving an advertisement about how good it is to travel the world, they went robbed store.

What do you think who was in the wrong ?

Nothing went wrong, the problem is that the guy who defrauded his family is a serial gambler and has lost his sense for money, and Boyle Sports was using their marketing system to deceive him.
To be honest, gambling houses are in business to make a profit, no one wants to lose money, so when one of their players stops playing, they decide to give him a bonus to entice him back. This is a common practice among gambling platforms, but instead of quitting, he appears to prefer gambling to see his family happy.

Just like on my last birthday, several sportsbooks offered me a bonus only to enjoy my day because they noticed I didn't come and play like I used to, I didn't use the bonus, he should have declined the bonus offered.

No one said that quiting an addiction will not come without a temptation to continue. I can't blame Boyle sports for wanting to keep their customer. When you make a decision to quit, it has to be a firm decision and as much as possible do away or block anything that can make you look back on your decision. A user with a real intention to quit gambling will go an extra mile to ensure that his goals are achieved, this involves- Blocking emails that could trigger the urge, avoiding friends that you gamble with or even staying away from watching the sport activity you gamble on for a while. You must do what you must to achieve your goal. It is immature to cast blame on someone for tempting you to do something when the you were not held at gunpoint. Accepting that you are in charge of your actions is a good start to overcoming an addiction.

Its hard to quit on gambling if you are in the peak of keeping on wanting it for sure those what he encounter will just be ignore and in the next day he will keep betting. He needs professional help to overcome this addiction also the family support is really needed because if he just do it for his self for sure nothing happens especially if he still have the app or the site bookmarked or installed on his desktop or he may still have an access to those sites.

I have to say that is still his fault and he should not blame the gambling company sending him emails with bonuses and other related things,he knows that there is the "unsubscribe" button to not receive such emails and if he was truly determined to quit he should have also blocked all emails from gambling related companies.I think deep down in him he was waiting for this type of email and he was thinking,this is it,now I am going to win and recover all the lost money which led to this situation.

Casinos know the physiology or the mindset of gamblers, those who are playing a huge amount of money are likely to say no to promotions, they will always go for the bait and every time big spenders in gambling get back to playing they will pay huge amount of money and that's a huge profit for casinos, not all casinos are like this but those who are doing this are casinos that get a lot of complaints because in the first place their exclusion or unsubscribe button should be updated.
