Some people drink without problems. Others don't, there is nothing inherently wrong with drinking - but for some people it consumed their life.
Some people gamble without problems. Others don't.
This campaign is advertising a Budweiser, but before you can participate you must drink a bud. If you're an alcoholic and sober 30 years you can see how that could be a problem. But one is not against budweiser. Although, I should've picked a better beer example.
Thanks for this very apt and accurate analogy, although if Lucky Bit is Budweiser, that makes dice games Pabst. In my horribly biased opinion, Lucky Bit is more like Guinness.
Seriously though, if you have a gambling problem, I don't want you joining this campaign and harming yourself in the process, although I really can't stop you either. I know it sounds easy to play "only one bet" but in practice some people are too susceptible to the danger. I fully respect anyone's decision to not participate in the campaign based on this requirement.
That said, I stand by this new policy. I think it is important that our advertisers experience the product first-hand and should an interested party have a gambling problem this likely isn't the right campaign for that individual. The product in question IS gambling and it probably is not appropriate for a gambling addict to advertise this site any more than it would be for a recovering alcoholic to advertise beer.
Now I want a beer. Thanks,
TheJuice.
Haha! Your development team has some work to do to enter Guinness territory. You're post inspired me to change my signature
Luckily, I personally don't have a gambling problem (except i aways lose) - but it only takes knowing one person to make it stick. I'll probably be back to the sig campaign eventually ;P
