I think majority of people who are addicted to gambling is because they do not understand gambling as beginners, the rules and the side effects of playing gambling excessively.
I think if gambling companies can help to giving beginners to understand gambling and addiction it will help and reduce the rate at which people get addicted o gambling, I mean good lesson for people to get understanding. Or do gambling companies benefit from gamblers who are addicted, which the awareness of getting addicted can affect their business?.
Casinos are also giving warnings to the gambler, in fact, they are saying "gambling responsibly". But this is not enough to drive every gambler to behave like that because this will just disappear from their mind when heated. Even if they limit the amount spent from a gambler still won't work because there are a lot fo casinos and aside from that, online casinos are there as well.
But this is not the responsibility of the casino to stop addiction, it is the gambler itself. Aside from that this is business, casino owners don't mind if they fall into addiction.
I agree with you that casino owners are not against people having a gambling addiction, I think it is very beneficial for them. They can tell people to play more responsibly and much more, but in reality it is beneficial for the owners to do this.
Playing responsibly means first and foremost taking responsibility for your actions. Understand that casinos and slot machines or bets cannot be unprofitable and the more a person plays, the more likely it is that he loses money, and the casino makes money
