Topic: Should Casinos Sponsor Sites That Deals With Gambling Addiction (Read 469 times)

No I don't think it is the obligation of casino to establish a site for gambling addiction cure or whatever it is that it would be called. It is already in the terms of the casino not being responsible to the effect of gambling at least I know it is there in offline gambling.

Moreover, there are some agencies and NGOs that deal with that, so I don't think it would be mandatory for casinos to go into that. And gamblers gamble because they want to win from the casino, they should rather stop if they won't gamble responsibly.

I was also thinking casinos are in business for profit and that if they sponsor such site, it would cause them to lose customers but however some people will still gamble despite whatever warning. So it is just would be a futile exercise, as people won't gamble responsibly, they will keep going in and out of the site or help center.

From what I read, it seems that your statement makes more sense, my friend. It is true that casinos are a business engaged in betting that always runs randomly without certainty, if this is a business that means there must always be a profit running, as we know that the purpose of establishing a business is to be profitable, right? therefore I honestly disagree with the statement that casinos will provide programs or at least help the government to minimize the number of addictions in its society, it makes less sense and is very doubtful. So the bottom line is that the more people who are addicted, the greater the casino revenue will be, and the other question is who doesn't like/want money? Obviously that's the real goal of casinos, so maybe you have also often heard from some healthy people that we should not look at gambling as a place that produces, because it is dangerous.

Although basically there are good intentions from the government to reduce the number of people who are addicted but I think on the other hand it is very difficult, this problem is very dependent on the person of each gambler, if they are not willing to quit the activity then it will not be possible to recover, so basically only they / the person himself knows and can cure himself from addiction with some precautions they apply, so this is nothing more than a matter of gambler's intention.

Is it duty of wine producer to sponsor sites that deal with alcohol addiction? It's not their duty but when your product causes addiction and you fund companies or sites that deal with that addiction and help people to overcome them, then you are doing ethical thing which is your free will and not duty.
There is a casino Betsson that owns many casinos. This casino runs organization in my country that helps people with gambling addiction and covers support of psychologists for people who are addicted to gambling. They also were promoting healthy gambling and were suggesting people to not lose more than they can afford to lose.

As I mentioned before that casinos are businesses and not people, and usually businesses don't care about anything and they love addicts because they are the ones who make casinos profitable.
So this addiction problem depends on the gamblers themselves and they definitely know the risks of gambling and must anticipate before becoming addicted what they must instill in themselves, and the government also doesn't seem to care about this. Especially in countries that prohibit gambling activities. Because they know the reasons why banning gambling causes addiction, it can even lead to crime and even suicide because of gambling.

It’s called sin tax in my country. Government is not directly sponsoring it that’s why there’s always a disclaimer for any advertisement which gambling is involved. They are just allowing it because people keeps doing it illegally which is more dangerous because it’s not moderated.

We all know that the real problem here is the gambler itself. Even without license, advertisement and other things that will allow casino to operate. There will still a lot of illegal operations open in discreet location because people seek this kind of activity themselves. This is why responsible gambling is a must.

These types of initiatives are things that governments have asked land-based casinos to do, but it is not an obligation that governments do or impose on land-based casinos, but in practice what has been seen is that land-based casinos have focused on sponsoring leagues important teams and important teams so that in addition to contributing to the development of football and teams and at the same time that casinos gain more exposure because in exchange for partnership or sponsorship the teams place the casino logo on the football pitches and team t-shirts . It's a win-win situation.

and that makes sense, because casino is a private company that pays taxes, pays employee salaries, pays servers, pays water and electricity bills in the case of physical casinos, so casinos cannot keep making donations without them earning anything. people are responsible for themselves, when they create an account at casinos they agree with the casino's TOS, and in the casino's TOS it is very clear that only people over 18 years of age should play, and we all know that people who are older 18 years of age are considered adults and are responsible for their actions.

The government of many countries getting taxes from the gambling sites where the gambling was the legal one.So the government itself sponsor the gambling addicted person to get away from the gambling addiction.The gambling addiction can be cured only by the acceptence of the gambler to the game.After some losses the gambler will start to do the target of their gambling loss,this was the prime reason for the gambling addiction.So the gambler should start to control the deposit of the dollars to the gambling site and only fix the certain amount of the gambling site for certain period of time.Mostly the gambler can do the fixed deposit for the week and don't get into the daily based.Because it was not easy to control the deosit for the day time period when the gambler at the gambling addiction.

But I am sure that every casino will not release this program to sponsor sites dealing with gambling addiction, even though they know that gambling addiction is difficult to cure but the casino does not want to put its position in supporting the treatment of gambling addiction problems, but maybe the casino will consider the opinions of the community if Many gambling communities want casinos to participate in dealing with the problem of gambling addiction, so we have to raise more discussions about this problem so that every big casino responds to sponsoring activities to treat gambling addiction.

Yes, they did really make someone addicted on offering those gambling games but you should think that you arent forced to do so or play into their site on which means that we cant really or not really that just right to point out fingers and telling them that they are really that obliged on helping those people who are addicted because it is really just that basing up on our own will and decision
and its not something that you could really be just that easily put blame into someones business just because you do end up miserably. Its all because of your bad decisions and toleration
about gambling thing. If you had just make yourself that responsible then you wont really be having no problems and you wont really be pointing out fingers on the
time that you do see that youre fucked up.

I don't think casino and gambling companies should sponsor site that will deal with gambling addiction and cure, it is always stated in every casino or gambling sites, it's not meant for people under 18 years old, that is people that are categorised as underage, should not gamble as they are not matured for it. So basically is not their business if somebody is addicted or not, this is more like a business organisation, they are open to make profit, so if people don't play gamble or people don't come to the casino they won't make profit.
Is more like telling a brewery company to start making doctors available or start sponsoring doctors that will cure diabetes because there is high level of sugar in beer or beverage drinks, when you can actually watch what you eat and control what you drink.

It is considered now as one of the responsible of casinos and part of their operations is to help those who get addicted and I believe it should be promoted on every casinos so the gambler can know that if they need a help, there is someone who can actually help them. Addiction is not ok and recovering from it is not that easy, having this program can at least give the gambler an opportunity to rise again and recover from such addiction.

This is only for what you want to support, I think that no one should feel pressured by these causes, because I think that all the casinos always do some works of charity that are much more worthwhile and more expensive, of course this would be a good thing Everyone would almost be committed to this, because they are people who are suffering under this hard cycle of life that they have to live, being addicted is not at all easy to cope with, because things are quite hard because they can lose much more than money, some get into trouble by lending money, others borrow money from banks and spend it in the casino, and in the end what this brings is pure problems and that is what they can cope with, some of these problems are left to their own devices. They can give an ultimatum and nothing, it is a very difficult disease to get out of, you need all the support from the world, and of course a casino can give economic support, there is no other, in the end the people who get over the juice activity They can fall into this type of addictive activity.

So when it comes to Collaborating in favor of this, it is something that should be greatly appreciated, because I believe that we should all have some heart and be able to help those who need this most, there are people who want to get out of this problem , but why not? They have already run out of money, some may take advice from here in various Addiction threads that have been made, but it is not just that they get a specialist who can help them so that they can make them feel better, that they assign them activities or exercises that they can do so that they can have a better income and can get out of that nightmare quickly, so I would think that if a casino or two , or the casinos that are there and wanted to commit to this cause, should be very appreciated, it should be the The best thing they can do, because I have seen that here in the forum there are many addiction topics and that Means that there are many members who at Least are Suffering from it.

From my Own perspective ? it is not that "They Should" Instead it is "THEY MUST" I know that we need not to blame them of how gamblers turns addicted as  those are decision of each gamblers but they are part of it.
they are the one that made them turning addicted because if there is no gambling site/houses there will be no gambling addict.

I may sounds wrong but Look at that and how it works , both parties has obligation from the addict and the gambling owners .

So far I have never heard of any government officially asking casinos to donate a certain amount of money to organizations that treat gambling addiction, and I have never really known of any casinos that facilitate the rehabilitation of gambling addicts.
As I have said before, the casino will have no obligation to help gamblers to recover from gambling addiction whether by paying certain organizations or anything, but this is really not the duty of the casino.

If the government allows gambling and asks for income tax every month or every year, then the government has the right to provide rehabilitation services for gambling addiction, just like they have drug rehabilitation places.

If they have their own ways to help their gamblers deal with gambling addiction, there is no need for them to have that support or sponsor to the ones that deal with it just for them to show how helpful they are and concerned with their gamblers.

Yes, they're taxed despite knowing the logic and business process of casinos. They are making money off the taxes from the industry and that's why we see governments allowing the operations of the casinos in their cities. Because they add a lot of money to the fund of the city government.

And for those places where they don't allow gambling, it's just for their citizens but they allow the foreigners to gamble because that's where they're taking money. But if there are casinos that do think with these advocacies to show their support, they're all free to do that in or off site because we don't even know what charities they're working with and what are the organizations that they're supporting because many of them are not vocal.

pretty sure governments still tax casinos even if they require them by law to donate to charities, tax revenue from casinos is no joke, I doubt governments will pass the chance on getting money from casinos, especially on how big the revenue they bring in each year.

Even though people voluntarily get into gambling activities, it is the responsibility of the gambling platform to remind people of the possible negative effect of too much gambling.  Since they are the one offering the service, the should be incline to give information about the possibility of gambling addiction and its dire effect on people.

Aside from that, the government requires the casino platform to have a dedicated pages for this kind of information to remind gambling fanatics to moderate their gambling activities.  Other even gives a pop up on how long a person had been playing.  The regulation also includes the service of self-exclusion for the casino to implement.  Even though it is a conflict of interest for the casinos, they have the obligation to make people aware of the consequences of too much gambling.

Indeed that would depend with casino’s initiative whether to help those projects or not. It won’t be one sided ‘coz if they would help gambling addicts to recover they’d have a good image in this industry that they are concerned with their players. Also, recovered individuals from gambling addiction aren’t all quitting gambling for good but some are having moderation of the gambling activity. This idea might be due to the impression that gambling sites would be taking advantage of players to be addicted in such activity but in reality that depends on what type of gambling site owners they are. There would always be ones who are not having such mindset.

just as everybody has said, helping those addicted to gambling should be a voluntary action and not an obligation vested on any casinos, reason been that by virtue that casino provided a conducive atmosphere for gambling, that doesn't mean they are to be blamed when people goes astray/gets addicted due to lack of self control, allowing themselves to be carried away by greed, because one thing I have noticed to be a major cause of addiction, is lack of self control, which means that if only people can be self conscious at all times, the rate at which people get addicted to gambling will drastically deduce.

The responsibility should be on the gambler's side because the casino only provides a place to have fun. If gamblers cannot be responsible and end up becoming addicted, they are to blame. Casinos have added self-exclusion features for gamblers so that they remember that gambling is not a place to make money. But apparently, gamblers want to make money until they forget to control themselves and become addicted to gambling. If gamblers could control themselves, of course, there would be no problem with gambling addiction, and everything would still be fine while people could still gamble in their spare time. That is why we must always control ourselves when gambling so that we do not become addicted to gambling.

Well, actually this would be a great idea for a caisno to show his face and oppose doing better things, this would undoubtedly be the best option, however people can see it from another point of view, because some who don't know what it's like In reality, they can say that the casinos are to blame for gambling addiction, others understand that those who are addicted to gambling are their own fault, and the casino that cooperates with these Organizations will Obviously have things Differently for them. because when they see others who Cooperate with these organizations it can give the impression that they are well Committed and that they can make a difference and that it is an honest casino and that it can be at the level of doing things well, and if a particular casino does it they will do it others, but only with the exception of doing things for what someone else is doing , these things can happen , but it is up to them if they want to do them.

For me, as far as I am Concerned , I think it is a great option to do it, otherwise I think that if they do it just to gain points over others, it is a hidden marketing strategy that can be possible, in other words, it is not acceptable. Furthermore, they can do it and thus take a much higher rate in the future and it is in the true range of doing things better, if I were the Owner of a casino I would do it, but I would do it disinterestedly without Publishing it, I think it would have more merit and whoever discovers it, already knows that they have done it only for the best intention of all, and if we go to this type of things, then all casinos must be committed to the issues of addiction, with helping and being as responsible as possible with this matter, because addiction is something that can affect and is Affecting many at this moment, and the idea is that people will only get rid of this problem, as long as in the end it is What is Interesting is that people at the end of the day leave happy After Spending the day and not with problems.

Depends on how they want their marketing strategy to work.

This is a double-edged sword for the casino who will look to sponsor organizations that helps people with gambling addiction. One, they might come off as hypocrites and people will stop supporting them. You can't really talk peace and have a gun armed and cocked, ready to shoot at any moment's notice. Two, people will regard them as someone who just makes money off cleanly and are not, in any way, intentionally rob people's money by flinging them into the wrong direction. They can be viewed as an entity who is just running a business which happens to cause addiction to people, and so they 'help' in the good cause by sponsoring organizations that actually help these afflicted individuals.

No matter which direction the casino takes, they will still make money at the end of the day, though through sponsoring these organizations, they have a chance to be regarded in a positive way rather than just sitting on the sidelines and passively taking people's money off of their pockets.

I think casinos should not be compelled to do such but be allowed to do such at free will because they are just a business organisation responsible for rendering of services to their consumers and the gamblers are liable for their own act. Ii f a gambler chooses to get addicted that is their own cup of tea and the casino should not be brought into it. Every individual is matured enough to make or take their own decisions and nobody is forced to do so. That is why it is advised that from the age of 18 and above can gamble because at that age anyone gambling is a matured adult that knows his or her right. So therefore, I see no reasons why casinos should be held to such ransom of sponsoring a site that deals with gambling addiction. Although they make benefits from addicted gamblers but that does not mean they should compelled to do so after all gamblers are old enough to know when to call it a day when gambling rather than gambling away their life at casinos.

I don't think that the casino obligation and I've never heard of or seen casino that has program like that to help gambling addicts.
First of all, what I will say is that casinos were established to do business and make money by providing various games or bets for gamblers, so any risks or impacts from gambling are not the responsibility of the casino.
Whether the gambler is addicted or goes bankrupt, these are all risks that the gambler must accept and must resolve themselves the casino does not need to pay or give anything as form of appreciation or anything just because the gambler has spent lot of money.

But still in my opinion, this is not an obligation and there is no need to sponsor something like that because it would also be in vain because efforts to recover from gambling addiction can only be successful with the attitude of the gambler himself, whether he is truly enthusiastic about recovering or not.

It should not be mandated but voluntary on the part of the casino, some casino believes that the responsibility to remain a responsible gambler is on the gambler, they have done their part by installing in their system that flags account that is verified to be gambling irresponsibly and they also added a self-exclusion feature for those who have a hard time controlling their urge.
With these two features, they believe that they have done their part in the gambling community, to help their players to cope with their addiction.

The casino did not have a gun to your head and forced you to gamble. You choosed to gamble and if along the way you get addicted, it's your sole responsibility to fix yourself. It's not the obligation of the casino and that doesn't mean they cannot sponsor the treatment of gamblers in rehabs, they can but it should be at their own freewill.

Though, I don't really see the reason why they've to be cleaning up addicted gamblers when they will be sending others to the same hole. Maybe it's another way of saying that they care about their players.

I have never seen anything that requires a gambling platform or a casino to sponsor or fund gambling addiction but still there are some casino and online gambling platforms who do. They may sponsor or even provide seminars as how gambling addiction can affect a person but still it's really not that effective as these casinos only advertised them as a initiative to prove their gamblers that they care to attract more gambler.

Yes, it's not even mandatory to sponsor it because that would definitely conflict with the vision and mission of the casino owner who of course prefers many addicts to get their money all the time, after all the casino will not have money apart from these addicts, believe me it is the addicts who provide it. money to the casino so how can the casino sponsor a site that could possibly help cure gambling addicts to leave the casino and stop gambling.

I think it will be hard to accept but here is the fact that casinos will go bankrupt if many addicts recover from their addiction then they leave gambling then who will play in casinos, it will sound strange, but it all comes back to the awareness of casino owners maybe they want to reduce it a little little by little but certainly not many casinos will want to do it or fund it as sponsors.

Hmm, I don't know... It seems so difficult. There is also the language barrier. Online casinos have customers from many different countries and many of those gamblers can speak only on their native languages. English is a well known universal language and could be used to treat all addicted through Zoom and Skype meetings, however we have this issue that many people don't have a foreigner language. And it must be really expensive to hire a translator for the different dialects of the world.

It's understandable there is a concern about helping addicted gamblers, but I think it can be done more efficiently locally, through measures introduced by the local governmemts and institutions on each country.

First of all, it helps related addiction, and they are supposed to have one due to the regulations.

For example, toll-free service is provided by the government itself and the number can be found on the packets themselves and in some countries it is mandatory to have a picture of cancer but you know that the efficiency of such is zero and no one is utilizing those services in my experience.

That is also nice for marketing purpose, it's telling the society; "we don't want to rob you, we just want to provide a place to have fun". in business, spending money on something not directly related to the business is not always considered as a loss, it's also an investment. big business need to have good sentiment from public, especially an already unlikeable business.

Whether or not it is mandatory to sponsor it, I don't know if there are regulations that require it, but so far I have never heard that there are regulations that require it, but maybe in countries that legalize gambling it could be, but in my opinion it is just an initiative of the casino's concern to reduce gambling addiction, because it is very alarming if you look at the statistics of gambling addiction and it is also very sad if someone is addicted to gambling.

As for requiring it, I think it's just a concern of the gambling platform if indeed they want to sponsor it so that it can run well and can deal with the problem of gambling addiction.

It does not. Even the hotlines where you could just talk to a rehabilitaion dude, I dont think that is helpful enough to a gambling addict.

Voluntary. I actually wanted them to mandate this kind of stuff about the gambling addiction. They are making loads of money so why not just share them.
About the receivable funds that gambling site's will give, it may be difficult to do it because of their international business but there is always a solution for this. Pick an international gambling addicts helper too, I bet there are organizations like this.
The only problem I could see when it comes to physically helping is if these international organizations lack offices on every country. But there is also a solution to that. Meetings on Zoom or Skype. It might not work one on one with the organization but they have higher chance to help them when gambling addicts speaks to another for a change. I mean who knows, other addicts (alcohol, sex) might already have been helping them this way. Talking to someone who have the same experiences might become their mentor instead of just reading books/listening one on one that is boring in this era.

That is not the kind of thing they should be enforced to, but voluntary do, because they think it's an important contribution for society and a portion of their customers who may develop an addiction. Let it up to each casino to decide and you will see if they really care about this issue.

Moreover, an enforcement of this rule would be hard to put in practice, since we are talking about worldwide gamblers playing at online casinos. How such funds would be invested? In which countries? How would the efficiency of the treatment reach gamblers from different regions in real time and at same time?

I think a virtual treatment for addiction doesn't have the same impact of a physical one.

This might seem so nice for academic purposes only but in reality, they might not be committed to such project. They might consider the capital burden it will be on them and marry it with the benefit to their business and this will make them abandon such project. Casinos are not struggling to appear good before the government because they already got licenses and doing their business within the dictates of the law.

On the other hand, they will quickly reference their terms and conditions that already cover things like this even though people hardly read these terms and conditions when registering.

It's good for the casino to do it. Warms the image, helps get green lights from the government, gives the casino something to brag about in ads, and of course keeps the community healthy. That's of course as long as we believe the sites work, because personally I think they don't. Support groups might be a bit better.


The way I always understood addiction is that an addict will continue to struggle and look for ways to satisfy his needs, even at the expense of work, family, friends, health, and all the rest you can think of.
If they lose money to the point of starvation, when they finally get food, they'll again try to satisfy addiction. Having an addict as a client may statistically be more profitable than having a casual gambler.

Casinos are a legal business, they are licensed and have clear terms of service about the age at which people are allowed to create accounts, which in this case are people over 18 years of age, so according to government laws, a person of greater age of age (18 years old) can now think on their own and know what is right and what is wrong and what they should and should not do. Therefore, casinos should not keep talking about gambling addiction on their website, they should not keep adding help sites for gambling addicts. I commented about this in another thread, and I'll repeat it once again

These sites that say they help gambling addicts are not places that will cure gambling addicts, an addict needs help in the real world and not on the internet, he needs a doctor in the real world and he needs to be hospitalized in places appropriate, there is no way for an addict to kick the gambling habit as long as he continues to use a telephone, computer or any other object that allows him to access the internet, so it makes no sense for people addicted to gambling to look for these internet sites to heal

Instead of going to hospitals in the real world and seeking help from doctors in the real world, looking for help on the internet, that honestly doesn't make sense. the addicted person will have a phone, so what will stop them from entering the online casino if they are getting treatment on these internet sites? What's most shocking is that I read a few days ago on a thread on a website that helps gambling addicts, that to cure addiction they first make people happy, because those who are happy don't become addicted. I was shocked by such words

This is only my opinion. But I believe it would be reasonable for casinos to sponsor or show webpages/organizations/places for people to recover from gambling addiction, but only to those individual gamblers who had opted into self-exclusion in the same casino, or for those gamblers who are willing to see that kind of popups in the interface of the casino.
I would that that would be a important distinction, because I am sure not all gamblers would be happy to see that kind of messages and sponsorships around, it may trigger some negative feelings on them which may lead them to quit using that specific casino.

You just say what is in my mind. These casinos are just providing a service that some people choose to use. It's up to individuals to make responsible decisions about their gambling habits and casinos are not responsible for their behavior. People are responsible for their own actions and it's not the job of businesses to try to control or influence those actions. They don't force people to gamble and they provide information about responsible gambling. It's up to individuals to make the decision to gamble or not and to take responsibility for their own actions. Every casino has always advised customers to gamble responsibly and you we should not expect them to do more than that unless we want their business to go down. I know addiction is a dangerous thing and awareness needs to be created about it but this should not be the responsibility of casinos. If one heed to the warning and gamble responsible, they won't be addicted.

In some cases they already do. Like in Finland, income of government monopoly casinos are directed all kinds charity programs or in other way important programs.
So i guess it depends on where you live, as i am aware that we are not exception. But from what i've gathered, these things usually start from political pressure and legistlations. Like the self-exclusion option that's mandatory in all casinos.

I saw someone saying here that casinos benefit from gambling addictions so they don't want to sponsor those sites. I don't see it that way.

Casinos benefit from steady income. Addiction can ruin lifes and budgets to the point, that at some point those people won't be giving any income.
In fact they could have an opposite effect as they act as a warning and could turn and speak against gambling.

I don't have any data about this but my gut feeling is that majority of gamblers aren't addicts, that can't control their urges. Majority of them have steady income, which is the reason they can provide steady income. Versus someone who has ruined his finances and life because of addiction. Those people aren't helping casinos, so i don't think casinos want people to get severely addicted.

Some level of addiction however is needed in capitalistic society. Everyone wants customers to come back.

The answer to your question is yes. If you check casino websites very well you would find a section of the website that direct you to an external site for those who are fighting gambling addiction. While I think that casinos are not the cause of gambling addiction they have a moral responsibility to ensure that those who eventually becomes addicted to gambling get the right treatment or solution to it. We could say it is their way of giving back to the gambling community.

Honestly, we do not expect other business models to handle all these, like mcdonalds dealing with diabetes? Or obesity? I do not see them do that at all, or cigarettes are the ones that find cure for lung cancer? Not really. Whatever the cause is, the company doesn't pressure you into using them, you are the one that does it and you should be aware of what your free will brings you with and should be something that matters. I understand that it is not going to end up being all that easy, and could be considered a little different.

I think it should be not all that weird if you end up with a situation that can't be considered easy to handle, we need to handle something that needs to be a lot more important for casinos, which is trying to convince more and more people to be addicts to be fair. I get that it feels like they shouldn't, but that's just how the reality works, they do want you to be addicts and they want you to lose your money to their business as well.

I believe it's not for us to decide since it's not us running the casinos, so I think the question should go with "would" instead of "should", like, "would casinos sponsor sites that deal with gambling addiction and cure?", and the answer to that, from me, would be no, because it wouldn't make any sense for a casino to sponsor a program that basically tell people to stay away from gambling as much as they can which technically means less customers for casinos thus less revenue.

Why would a casino have to repay those who put in a lot of money or get addicted when it's not their responsibility to cure addictions or stop people from gambling? A casino is a business, and no business would want their customers to stop coming back to them, even if a casino says that one should gamble responsibly, they don't mean it since the more a gambler wagers, the more revenue they will make.

For me yes they should allocate even small funds to these platforms that fight addiction to gambling, it is a worthwhile cause, and it will give the gambling industry a good picture that they care for their players, and it's not their intention that gamblers will go astray and become addicted to gambling, the proof is on their terms giving gamblers a warning that they should not take gambling as a way to make money.

But not all casinos are the same some will support and some will not as they already remind their players that the platform is an entertainment portal and not a source of income, and they have a system to stop players from abusing themselves, through the gamblers' initiatives through self-exclusion.

I like a government like that but are these governments still get their own tax? That will be a double expense then for the casino, but they can't do much about it if that is required to them.

As long as they can earn something why not? Apart from that, there are also casinos who donate on charities and other causes and I believe this is not required by the law anymore. I also like this even though it's not about the addicted persons. Those casinos we talk earlier are for sure already strengthen their gambling addictive preventive measures. Once the cases are lessen, that is a good thing because they don't need to do donations anymore.

If this is the question.

I don't think it's necessary.

The reason is simple, as I have read, the factors that influence a person towards gambling addiction.
For example:

I think there is no effect on gambling addiction, whether online or offline casinos implement features and things related to gambling addiction warnings.

For me, whatever we do, we have control over ourselves. As long as we think about all the risks and damage, if they can still control themselves, it's certainly not difficult for them to prevent themselves from becoming addicted to gambling.

The casino will not be responsible if someone becomes addicted to gambling because gambling is a business where the casino provides gambling games and allows people to come to visit the casino and gamble. People should be responsible for themselves when gambling and not be greedy in chasing wins. They should also be able to control themselves, not to try to recover from the defeat they have experienced so that it will not give them bigger problems. But it seems that people really don't understand that gambling can give them problems and that they can even develop a gambling addiction. But if the casino intends to provide a site that can help gambling addicts cure their gambling addiction, maybe gambling addicts can get a solution to cure their gambling addiction. It will depend on the gambling addict whether they want to accept help from the casino or whether they do not want to admit that they are addicted to gambling.

There's kind of a conflict of interest between the two. For instance, institutions that provide assistance to those seeking to quit gambling are sometimes dependent on donations to sustain their operation. However, if one of their stable donors becomes a gambling parlor, what happens then if the institution wants to criticize gambling? They would self censor in order to avoid losing money they've come to depend to.

It would be best if states provided funding to these institutions. In turn casinos could maybe pay some taxes in order for governments to be able to keep funding these operations. Most governments around the world try to tax gambler's winnings which IMO is the wrong approach. Casino profits should be directly taxed before gambler profits.

This way institutions offering services to those seeking help with addiction can keep their freedom of speech and secure funding untouched, and casinos can stay away from any criticism for conflicts of interest.

It's enough that casinos refer players who are at a loss in gambling to these gambling facilities and sites that deal with gambling addiction, the casinos are already compliant with authorities by flagging accounts that they think are gambling too much, they have the self-exclusion feature, in their terms they recommend that gamblers should play with money that they can afford to lose and they should think their platform as an entertainment portal and not a platform to make money.

Every gambler should be responsible for his actions, the casinos have done their part by issuing warnings, and it is the prerogative of every casino if they want to donate, it will give them a good image and reputation in the gambling community, some traditional casinos are already doing this in many countries.

The reality is that casinos are businesses and not people, and usually businesses don't care about anything and they love addicts because they are the ones who make casinos profitable.
However, the casino must also have consideration for its customers who become addicts because addiction can be detrimental to the person who suffers from it.
And the best way to prevent addiction is to train casino employees to recognize and respond to problematic or excessive gambling behavior. This includes understanding the signs of their addiction, and knowing how to offer help and support to rehabilitation agencies or other parties working with the casino. And these employees must be able to help these people get treatment and support to avoid addiction after recognizing the signs, so they can gamble responsibly.

Yes, I think they should or it should be a mandate where they will contribute some of their profits to the gambling addiction prevention companies or treatment centers. I mean, they can spend a lot of their money advertising their business, perhaps some of that money could go to a better way to help those who are in need. I know they are not a charity but this could be a good way to make their business more attractive.
It's not like they will be the ones who will take care of those gambling addicts, it's only the money to fund it that's needed from them.
With the online gambling business growing bigger every year, I think it's time that different governments should also propose a mandate to these gambling sites to give back by means of supporting the gambling addiction centers and maybe this could help to prevent it.

It will be good for the reputation of the casino if they will sponsor the sites dealing with gambling addiction because the impression they will get from the people is they care and wants to help the gamblers with such situation. However, it's also their right if they don't want to do so because their business is gambling therefore the gambler itself is the one responsible on how he will manage himself to not become addicted in gambling. Just like other business, cigarette for example, they warned their customers that it is dangerous to their health but they keep on selling despite this fact. That being said, it's the customer's responsibility if he/she will still buy. Similar to gambling, if you become addicted it's your fault for not controlling yourself because you can prevent this from happening if you only play in moderation.

You're talk about "corporate social responsibility".

It's a help from business or project to other people, any casino can offer such help for their gamblers that turns become addicts. But do you think the casino can help every gambling addicts? nope.

Just like scholarship which only for 10-100 people, it's limited and could be used as a form of marketing.

Cashback, rakeback or any form that the casinos pay some % percentage of the total wagers aren't mean the casino pays back gamblers' losses, it's actually a strategy to make gamblers to keep gamble.

Sounds like it's bad for business, don't blame me, I am just dreaming for the minute, thinking assuming I already own a casino, will I be willing to caution gamblers about getting addicted to gambling? It's a no, because every dollar that gamblers risks is what matters for every online and offline casinos, the best they can do is stay away from advertisement to the public through television and other.

It's not the right of any casinos to make people not to get addicted to gambling, and I respect the few casinos that still warn gamblers to gamble responsibly on their platform, it's all about luck, and people don't need some lectures for this, common sense is all you need to know that gambling isn't your job or work where you get paid with an amount every month, it's like trying to win lottery.

If you are addicted to gambling it's not the casinos fault, they forced no one to gamble with their money, it's on you as a gambler to use your brain, and always lower your risks, people expose themselves to risks because they want to make big money in gambling, casinos don't need to sponsor any addicted curing platform, if they do it's like accepting that they are responsible for destroying the lives of people, of wish it isn't their fault.

I think the casino already pays back someone's losses with bonuses and facilities, for example VIP users who spend their money on gambling even though it's not worth it but the casino gives them free money too, after all the casino will lose big if the site succeeds in helping the gamblers stop playing because where does the casino's money come from if not from its users, the more people lose and become addicts the casino will be successful but on the other hand without the gamblers they will go bankrupt.

Logically speaking how should casinos fund sites that deal with gambling addiction or sites that help addicts to stop gambling, whereas it is contrary to the goals of casinos which require lots of active gamblers playing to get their profits, how can you think casinos should fund that and pay every their losses, even though the casino has given bonuses and players already know that gambling is very risky. There's no compulsion for people to be gamblers and I don't think there should be any compulsion for casinos to fund it either.

this is just about the awareness of the casino owner and if a casino wants to sponsor a site that deals with gambling addicts it is a very wise effort but if a casino does not have the effort to sponsor a site that deals with addiction this is not a problem because it is all about the awareness or policy of the casino. so whether do it or not, there is no obligation to do it.

but if I am honest, it would actually be better, all casinos should provide policies like this to help cure gambling addicts, as OP said, this is a form of concern from the casino for its customers who have visited their gambling business so many times that they have lost a lot of money and become addicted. and this casino efforts are one of fair policy. but however it is very difficult because it is only done at the discretion of each casino and on the one hand we also never really know whether the big casinos out there are sponsoring it or not because usually efforts like this are done in secret.

Casinos usually operate gambling games but if a person becomes addicted then it is the lack of control of the person. Addictive gambling is the creation of an impossible and uncontrollable need in the mind for gambling. It is extremely difficult to remain unfulfilled this demand cannot be controlled in any way the addicted person wants to satisfy those needs at any cost and wants to gamble. It would be great if the casinos take steps to overcome the addiction but casinos usually don't take such steps or it may take a long time. If gambling addiction is treated well you will regain control over yourself along with that there will be an opportunity to regain the lost honor meaning social establishment profession.

casinos should have a sense of responsibility to support the facilitation of overcoming gambling addiction or a psychiatrist as their responsibility for the impact of their services. just like what cigarette companies do, where as a form of their responsibility to society, companies usually donate a certain amount of money for health facilitation or things related to health.

it is true that this addiction is not the sole responsibility of the casino, but they must take part in being able to provide services to users who are addicted and they should have a conscience regarding this matter.

It is not the casino's obligation to help those who are addicted to gambling so that they can cure their gambling addiction. Those who are addicted to gambling make their own mistakes because they cannot control themselves in gambling and instead spend most of their time gambling and do not pay attention to the dangers they can get from gambling. Maybe the casino could provide that site and always make it clear to all gamblers that the responsibility lies with the individual gambler. Casinos only provide a place to play various gambling games and casinos also always remind gamblers to be responsible gamblers. After all, casinos do not ask gamblers to continue gambling, but it is the greed of gamblers that makes many gamblers end up addicted to gambling.

As long as casinos, both offline and online, are not required to do so, they will not do it, and usually in online casinos there will be information about gamblers responsible which provides all the information including about self-exclusion as well as about problems in gambling, but are there any players who are willing to read about this? especially new gamblers, so they become aware and gamble with full caution? I don't think there is, and casinos might be willing to sponsor when there are obligations such as implementing KYC which is widely opposed and it is very possible that casinos don't want to implement KYC but the regulations make them have to do it.

On point! Why would the casino have a concern for other people? They are just there to earn; they are just doing their business. If someone gets addicted, it's not their fault at all. And I agree; I don't judge them, but people getting addicted to their platform and gambling recklessly is a bonus to them. That's the sad reality: business is business; they don't have a damn concern for who's playing their platform.

Gamblers are the ones that choose to gamble and play on their platform, so getting addicted is made by themselves as well, so don't give the idea that casino platforms are at fault for this issue. There will be no addicts if they choose not to. I don't like the idea that many people think that casino platforms, either online or offline, are the cause of the addiction, but it's not they who choose that; if they suffer, then let them learn their lesson.

Casinos sponsoring sites that help with gambling addiction? That's a subject that makes things move. As you can see, the rate of gambling addiction is really high. Furthermore, we cannot ignore that. It is real, it exists, and it is an issue. A big issue. So, should casinos be supporting these websites? Definitely, indeed. It's not just good PR; it's their responsibility. They get paid enormous sums of money by regular gamblers. Thus, it is only fitting that they return the favor. And a lot, not just a little. These websites ought to be receiving a flood of funding. They owe it to individuals who are incapable of helping themselves to assist in lowering the rate of addiction. It's not about the gamblers' decision to play; rather, it's about the casinos' decision to give a damn. And they should care. A lot

Casinos doesn’t give a damn regarding the addiction. For them addiction and addicts are like bonuses who spend millions of dollars in their casino. They will do promotions where they have the potential to attract more customers. They won’t do these noble tasks to sponsor Gambling addiction centres or sites. We can’t blame them also to be honest, as we are the ones who needs to control ourselves and gamble responsibly.

As a casino, you want to give the impression to people that you care and that they matter. In the end we all know that the casino really only cares about making money. Every promotion they do is geared around getting people in the door. You can't blame them, it's a business and businesses have ti make money.

As far as sponsoring addiction sites, should they be required to? No, but a lot might be interested so that they look good in the eyes of the public.

I had to vote for the third option because not all casinos are in a position to sponsor or donate to these sites. Then again, as the others have said, it's rare to see casinos go the extra mile on gambling addiction when most of them have links on where to seek help (GambleAware, GamCare, etc.). If the question is only limited to those big casinos, I would've changed my vote to "Yes" because there's no specific amount and these casinos would easily make back what they donated within a week or less.

reading previous posts, it looks like there are governments that require casinos by law to donate to organizations that deal with gambling addiction, but I am pretty sure not all governments require casinos by law to do that. anyway, if the casino decides to sponsor a site that deals with gambling addiction, it could be a good look for them. also, apart from that casinos should strengthen their gambling addiction preventive measures.

It's good but not that necessary since gambling sites shouldn't be the ones to blame for gambler's addiction.

Gambling sites don't need to fully help gamblers with addiction because that is something that should always be the responsibility of the gamblers.

These sites are businesses. They will just put the Gambling Responsibility tab on their site as usual.

Well, they are the related party so I reckon it's not that odd to see them supporting stuff there. In a sense what casinos want is a player who can stably gamble in a way that they can provide profits for a longer period of time. Addicts ain't like that, they're more of a one-hit (or a few) wonder that just stops abruptly after some point. Probably not the real reason why they did that, but hey, it made that one guy who supported it have a reason to push through with it.

If casinos were only giving say, support/financial money to assist gambling addiction cure websites/foundations, then maybe. But if they were providing adverts there? Hell nah then.

I voted "No". Why would casinos sponsor sites that fight against gambling addiction? To ease their conscience? First of all, I think that people are strong enough to give up everything that harms them, and if they are not strong enough and need additional help the first step should be turning to the closest ones... not to some site!

Casinos are taxed, I guess a lot of good can be done with that money, but for casinos to directly sponsor sites and clinics for gambling addictions is a bit ridiculous. On one hand, they are trying to attract people to gamble and on the other, they are trying to move them away from gambling... maybe I'm wrong here, but it doesn't make sense to me.

I can't answer correctly regarding this thread. I mean, on the side of the casino platform itself. However, personally and even in general, there will be many responses that agree with this idea. However, the problem is, which casino will carry out the ideas you put forward in this thread. In fact, almost every licensed casino provides self-restriction, responsible gambling and other features.  In fact, they have followed every regulation stated in the license they have.

So, like members who make posts under your posts. should casinos be forced to sponsor sites that treat gambling addiction. So, the answer is I'm not sure. In fact, we can look for non-profit foundations that work to help gambling addicts. In fact, if I'm not mistaken, we have a thread discussing it. except, if every licensed casino is required by the relevant authority such as the government, licensing authority, or anything like that.
However, those who are licensed have a legal umbrella and carry out policies in accordance with those stated in their license. and I think, this idea really will not be realized. Even if there was a casino that was willing to become a sponsor, as you stated, I would really appreciate it, and that would be very cool.

The gambling generation was the toxic one in all the generation,it starts after the British had colonised the other country people.Now the crypto gambling also added the crispy to the online gambling.Because one night enough for the gambler to get millionaire or billionaire using the crypto based online gambling.But the tactics was the essential to have that big win,the winning is the easy one in the gambling.But the luck also made the gambler to get addicted to the gambling site.Gambler who choose the website for the escape from the gambling addiction will not work.Because the website may ask you to pay for it,instead gambler can try on his own for the gambling addiction.

It is another business to deal with the addicted to gambling, and even though casinos can sponsor this, it is not a must for them to be involved with these other companies because it is not their concern at times. Casino's who will choose to sponsor these other companies do it out of thoughtfulness and care.

If there would really be some sort of regulation then these business or platforms would really be creating one but its true they wont really be doing this naturally or with their own decisions just because they do care into those gamblers on becoming that addicted. Who the hell they care? As much as possible they would really be that taking advantage into those situations that people do become addicted and this is where they do much prefer that if possible people will really be that addicted on which means that they would really be spending up more and  this is really that a normal approach and target that they do really have in mind.
If thats the case in Italy on which theres some sort of imposing strict obligation then its good but only a few place would be having this kind of actions and the rest are just simply doing having no care.

If it isnt really that required or compulsory then pretty sure that they wont really be caring at all because its business and business do matters. Getting or having some concern into their gamblers
would really be not their priority. They are here for the sake of income and they dont care others situation if they get addicted, you are really that free on doing gambling
and you arent that forced on doing so.

In my country (Italy) this is a sort of obligation of gambling operators that must always provide tools to fight gambling addiction.
They don't do it because they are "good people" but simply because it is a legal obligation no less, no more.

Years ago I had "an issue" with one of these legal sites in my country, and even though they clearly did not respect some limits, they simply ignored my request and never replied.
I didn't get an economic loss and decide to not waste time with judge/consumer association.....
 
Well, for what I have seen up to know, at least here on my country all these tools are only useful for law compliance and have only limited effectiveness on gambling addiction

in the first place, they have no responsibility on giving such service to these addicted gamblers. they are here for business, so we can't really expect them to do such kind of initiative. but if they will participate on this kind of mission, why not? but they have no obligation to this because gamblers have their free will when they enter the casinos. it is not by no means a compulsory for them to enter. so they are responsible for themselves as well in getting out.

They wont care. Why? The more addicted person or gambler which means that it would be more revenue to them. The only thing that they could really give or show is into those warning text and alerts
about gambling addiction or simply telling on having that moderation or suggestion but there's no other thing comes after that. They wont really be that doing on something that could really affect out their business on which it would really be just that normal that they would really be not putting up attention into those things that do really fights gambling addiction. It do really just turns out that they are really  just that shooting their own foot if they would be deciding on doing such thing. This is why with this kind of topic or recommendation then gambling sites or businesses wont really be doing something
stupid such as this. Gambling addiction is something that a self type of problem on which it would really be just that normal that you are the ones who do really need to resolve it out.

I think it is one of the responsibilities of the casino to deal with their clients gambling addition.  They should support or sponsor a sites that deals with gambling addiction.  It would be better if the casino itself create a site that has program that helps gambling addicts to get advice and suggestions on how to regain control of themselves.

Since the casino is the main reason why people get into gambling activities, the casino should offer a service that can help gambler to moderate or control/ regain control of their gambling activities.


Regardless, casino should feel responsible in giving a helping hand to people who get addicted by supporting sites that offers suggestions and counseling to gambling addicts.

In fact, providing a place for gambling addicts is the CSR of the casino business ^{(offline or online)}, they already make a lot of money from the players, so taking full responsibility for the treatment of gambling addicts is something they must provide, gambling can become addictive if a player is unable to control himself while playing.  apart from gambling business owners, the government should be the one who has full responsibility for providing a place to treat gambling addicts too, they already get tax money from offline or online gambling businesses, so if they hands-off of gambling addicts then they should be the ones who should take full responsibility.

Not sure though if these casinos are willing because it's going to affect them, business wise. I think for me the initiative should come from the government themselves. But in any case, maybe there are also some well known casinos who are directly giving money to the government to create those sites to help their population. It might not be known to us, but with the casinos making huge money and government somewhat putting pressures on them and work hand in hand, yeah there might a good way for the casinos to show their support.

They've already have this kind of "gambling responsible" program or self-exclusion, I see this from online and traditional based casinos already.

You can put it that way, it's kinda giving back to the community and help those who become addicted to gambling. But then again, it's going to be cyclical as gamblers are born like every minute or at least someone is trying to get their hands on gambling.

My opinion here is they should have a warning on their site that about gambling addiction so they should do something for their players who go astray in their gambling habits, it's both for PR and for making the gambling industry responsible for people who failed to treat gambling entertainment as a form of entertainment,

They issued a warning so it is better to allocate even a small portion of their earnings to facilities and online free help because so many gamblers lose everything that they cannot afford to go to these facilities for treatment and those online free help for gamblers cannot sustain without funds to operate the sites.
It may sound unusual but it will lessen the burden on their conscience and also on these people who got addicted because of playing on their platform

They might go into advocacy of dealing with the problem that they're generating money. But maybe for some charity works that they consider, it's good for them to have that support.

We don't know what's in the mind of these casino management if they're up for this support or not. Since they're not a charity as we say and they are a business, they might not come along with this.

Because one justification is that if they already have a self exclusion feature, that's more than enough for one to stop.

Sponsoring definitely seems like the wrong approach in this situation. They should be making a contribution to an independent organizations and have very little say about how that money is utilized. It's a bit derogatory to be honest, seeing them using such safe gambling promotions during their advertising and just gives them a pretense to push their ads to a wider audience. It's a very devious and underhanded way of marketing that should be discouraged. An alternative might be they pay the government who then distribute it fairly and anonymously to such groups.

Most people would agree with that, especially for people who have been trapped in gambling for a long time but find it hard to get out of the cycle. But I wonder if the casinos would agree to this? Because I quite doubt that the casino can agree to this and is willing to spend some money to sponsor a site that deals with gambling addiction and healing, and isn't it the more someone is addicted to gambling, the more profit the casino will make?  And isn't sponsoring a site that deals with gambling addiction and recovery a loss for the casino because they will lose some of their loyal customers?
And I suppose that the casino will assume and deny that this is not the casino's responsibility. Because after all the casino only offers a game that can provide sensation and pleasure, they only offer and do not force someone to play gambling in the casino that he has and then it's back to each person to decide whether or not to play gambling.

"No one really cares about everything that happens to us, including the problems of gambling addiction that we are facing. So pay attention and consider everything carefully before we really decide to play gambling."

I am affirmative  of this proposal. You know casino should take part of the responsibility for this campaign because they are liable for that.let me use cigerarte for example, of a cigerarte, if you buy a cigerarte, you will see it down there that smokers are liable to die young and that advert is Courtesy of the cigerarte company because they are liable for that and in instructions by their various country policy. So if casino does that with laws of that nature holding them to do such I think there would be less of gambling addiction.

I know some casinos would not want to take part in this type of campaign because they benefit heavily from it addicted gamblers so it would look as if they are fighting themselves and would not be part of it but if the government CV an pi to a law and a clause holding them to do so, o think they would have no choice but being a part of it or initiating theirs as well.

Yes, if they want to look like they care. IMO it's a PR thing more than a real initiative. If they did not want to deal with addicts and it was a thing of ethics for them, they would chose a different business.
We all know that addicts are a large part of their market. They allow these people to play and you can see who's an addict by checking the account stats. If someone is online every day for hours, and/or plays until there's no money on his account, then comes back another day, keeps playing until he's at 0 and repeats the process, he's addicted. They could limit their access, or their deposits, but they won't.
I guess it's better that they help addicts, but the best help would be to actively monitor players and block the ones that are doing the worse, but for the casinos it's business.

Casinos and other gambling sites know how people are, no matter how many articles, videos and other contents that you produce to encourage people to not be addicted to gambling, gamblers will always prefer to do what they are doing in the way that they like doing it and that also do not stop many gamblers from being addicted. I remember one of the first gambling sites I registered on, they have all those articles but I have never bothered to read it before. Most gamblers will not read anything like that. I mean gambling sites will still continue to make money after all.

This should be part of their social corporate responsibility. Giving free counseling and other support to people who are facing gambling disorders will help to reduce addiction. These platforms could help gamblers to have betting plans and strictly follow them. These casinos shouldn't only focus on how to stop or cure addiction but mechanisms should also be put in place to discourage becoming addicted to gambling. Maximum limits should be placed on accounts that are suspected that the owners might be becoming addicted.  I totally support that these casinos should sponsor these addiction preventive, control, and support websites.

What would be surprising are the addiction assistance/forums displaying casino related sites or it defeats the purpose. But casinos having some links going to addiction assistance is pretty common already.

Its sort of a standard warning that gambling is addictive and if you felt you are addicted to gambling, the casinos offer help. Maybe the guilt is there so they are trying to remind its clients they are also there to help.

I would say it’s a good idea, I see where your point is actually, you feel if they should sponsor those addicted they wouldn’t make more money but that’s wrong, once people get addicted to it they wouldn’t be in clear state of mind to actually play the game and the more it hampers their health the more people will actually run from it and that means the casino is actually losing potential customers.

I would say they should actually sponsor them but it is not obligatory on them to do so. We have seen cigarettes companies warning people through advertisements that high consumption of it causes health issues and yet people still Smoke, I would say the casinos should also pick on this too

Let's go in parts, perhaps they don't do it, but it is a standard to have it by law, not because perhaps they want it that way.

Casinos by law must support certain organizations and they themselves must have the corresponding notices, online casinos have them, look for them, on other cases, the casinos, one of their functions is that they pay taxes, and these taxes should generate contributions to those institutions who deal with addictions.

In any case and as I mentioned and always mention, starting with the player, he is the one who should take his first $100 and pay for a consultation with a specialist, his first coaching should not be a Youtuber, a friend, or a casino, a responsible gambler must be diagnosed if he is prone to suffering from addiction.

There are people who become addicted, but are cured, because they are asymptomatic, but other types of users do not have that condition, there are studies on that, there are people who have symptoms of lack of dopamine, (e.g.) so, they are symptomatic players.

Gambling is in the queue for help from public institutions that should channel the state's income from taxes to this neglected disease.

But as always in that sense there is no better help than the support cultural and social, where governments should start. Not to mention that all help mainly comes from the moral of your home.

Please! Don't expect help from a casino or government, if you can, pay for professional assistance,  even if you think you don't need it.

Casinos benefit from gambling addiction, which is how they make profits. Gambling addicts hardly take money out of the gambling system because the money they make are usually given back when they continue gambling even after winning. I don't see how they will even give this idea of curing gambling addiction a second thought.

The best they can do is to emphasize their caveat "gamble responsibly " that is already part of their terms and conditions

I think casinos would have no problem in sponsoring these sites as most likely they can have no real impact in casino revenues and the casinos would make a good name for themselves which in turn will get more new players to join them,it can be like an infinite loop that no one can escape it.

In this generation the gambling addiction of course is high because of the intensity of life that create much more additional stress that many people find refugee in gambling as a first step but this step then results fatal in sucking them in great addiction.

I think somsince they even have responsible gambling dedicated page just to help gamblers to become responsible and to avoid becoming addicted. Casino boldly disclosed that they are not source of profit which I believe they are open to introduce this kind of service with their player since they are obligated to do so as per the law. They offer too self-exclusion just to make gamblers stop playing with their casino.

There’s a lot of cases which casino ended up paying a victim(ga,bling addict) when it comes to court battle because the judge considers mental stability of victims. This is why casino usually avoid problematic gambling as much as possible because they might cause problem with them.

This is an interesting thing to think about.  You could say casinos sponsoring gambling addiction sites seems shady and  it might seem like a conflict of interest, how can they really want to help if they make money off addiction? But you could also say it shows responsibility if they try to deal with the dark side of their business.  I don't really know where I land on this.  It's complicated.  Seems like good arguments on both sides. I'm curious to see what others think about this.

Everybody will say yes. It would be better for casinos to even have a site that can help addicted gamblers. But should casinos be forced to sponsor sites that deal with gambling addiction? No, they can not be forced to do so.

What that is most important is for the gambling sites to have a link on their websites which will refer gamblers to sites that deals with gambling addiction.

But all these may not help until a gambler realize that gambling is just nit a way if making money.

I'm just curious and would like to get the consensus of the community, should casinos sponsor sites that deal with gambling addiction and cure, we can't deny that the gambling addiction percentage is very high in this generation,

I just stumbled one site about gambling addiction it's a free help for those addicted to gambling, there are many more related sites and facilities.
Do you think it is the obligation of casinos online or offline?

It is casinos' way to repay those who put in a lot of money and get addicted or they shouldn't care because it's the gamblers' initiative to play.
