Not really sure that the social tournament you are referring to can prevent or limit cases of gambling addiction and will disappear, but maybe it could have a small effect as a preventive measure. I remember a slot site that provided several games that did not require complete KYC and the site gave prizes to visitors to play for free every day, but winning prizes could be sold at varying prices to people. Even though this game does not involve real money, coins are freely traded so that it is absolutely not a reflection for gambling addicts to stop.

While I'm not sure that a high percentage rate will help active gamblers stop gambling while taking part in these tournaments, it may have a positive effect as a deterrent. The point is that in the case of gamblers who are addicted it is not an easy thing to cure, so for this kind of tournament is not one of the right solutions if no other education is provided for those who are addicted.

I have different point of view to be honest, I think that such free tournament will not help addicted gamblers to stop their gambling activity. I will even say that it will attract them to play more because what they get from the free tournament may attract them to play with real money. The same as the fun mode of slot games, it is being used to attract people to gamble and I also believe that the tournament provided by socialtournament is also to attract people to gamble.  However if addicted gamblers want to stop their gambling, they should start to stay away from anything related to gambling. Joining free tournament will not really work imo. Obviously, it will be based on how people deal with it.

It depends on the addicted gambler itself. There's a high chance that they will find it have no challenge at all knowing that there's nothing at stake and maybe the winning price isn't worthy their time. Though for the gamblers who really want to quit gambling without spending money, it is a great way to entertain themselves with the spice of getting profit with the benefit of quitting gambling. Overall, it's a great way for some people to stop gambling, we now have this kind of option to recommend to someone who really want to quit or for some gambler who just want to have the entertainment they get from gambling.

I believe the point is that addicted gamblers want to play frequently, that is, every day, so a tournament would never supply their constant demand for betting.

It's hard to replace a gambling session where the game is between the player and the house, or between two players by a tournament where the gambler will be competing against hundreds or maybe thousands of another players, meaning winning chances are too slim, therefore not being an interesting and exciting game.

If you want to fight gambling addiction, you have to replace it by another activities which are healthy and don't involve betting practices, otherwise you will be still encouraging this kind of behavior on the addicted individual.

This will help to reduce addiction from addicted gamblers,because they have all the time to entertain themselves and it will engage them in one way, at the same time money isn't used for the competition. I will say that it will also save them from losses and also have an opportunity to win big without staking anything. Although,the chance of winning the prize is slim.

It still depends on the gambler to understand that gambling is suppose to be done for entertainment and not for profit,this is another thing that the gambler must learn from the social tournament. If the gambler refuses to understand this,he will go back into gambling because he believes of making profit with it.

It can also be interpreted in a different way.
Players get entertained without having to spend any more and yet they get to win real money seems too good to be true. How can it help gambling addiction when the gambler still plays like betting something? It's even inviting newcomers to gambling because it's a sort of training for them to play betting. We all have different views of course since this looks like a casino still.

Chances of winning ain't that high. Also, avoiding addiction depends to the gambler himself. This is a good thing no doubt but would it work 24/7? 'coz gambling provider won't be earning that much to sustain this "program"if that's the case, and if not then that should already be an answer to the question. However, as I've said, it depends on the gambler whether to get invokved that much to gambling activities or not. As long as such drive to win and be rich in an instant or to get back with losses, are there then we cannot expect less. But mentioned activies will indeed lessen the the tendency of players to engage with betting problem is it won't be open always for players who would want to play and win, also prone to abuse.

Well the reviews there were complaining that they lost money that they thought would win without KYC,they should have read the FAQ which says if you do not verify yourself for 14 days any win will be forfeited.Of course except that everybody there were happy and I agree as long as the site is operated by the well known Pragmatic Play slots provider.As long as you trust them as a provider which I assume most of us love them as they make some of the most addictive slots there should be no problem playing there.

It is not free,you are using your time which is precious to join these tournaments.

people addicted to gambling, are not addicted just because of money, and precisely because they do not want to lose. this Socialtournaments is something good only for people who are not addicted, those people who went to the doctor and the doctor confirmed that they are unfortunately addicted to gambling and the doctor recommended treatment in inpatient and rehabilitation centers for addicts, so these people should strictly follow all treatment, from what I know about addicts, because I have had some in my family and for many years we fought for them to be cured and unfortunately they always escaped from the hospital and died, gambling addicts should stay away from any game for many years

It is not 1 year, 2 years or 3 years that a person addicted to gambling is cured and can go back to gambling in moderation, it is much more than 3 years for the addict to cure, and in that entire time they should not gamble at all, even Although this game does not involve money, unfortunately addiction is a serious and very problematic illness, a total cure takes a long way and few people are able to completely cure themselves. I don't know what's in the TOS of this Socialtournaments, but in my opinion it would be good if their TOS made it very clear that anyone addicted to gambling should not use the site

anyone addicted to gambling should seek medical help and not use the site as a way to treat their addiction, they should put these rules in my opinion. because many people may think that since it doesn't involve money and they are addicted, therefore there is no problem using the site because it won't make their addiction worse because they are not betting with money. gambling addicts look for all possible ways to play even when they don't put money in, the desire they feel for the game is very strong and people need to withdraw them from games even if they are games that don't involve money

Is this not the site that you are talking about: https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/www.socialtournaments.com

It does not have a good review. Although I can not only believe on reviews. I am not addicted to gambling. I hardly gamble, which is during weekend. I do not have time for something like this.

If someone is an addict, the person can try it. I do not just believe in anything free.

It may save the addicted person themselves from further debts but it is not helpful in anyway with the stop of gambling addiction since the person is continue to gambler without staking any money with the hope of hitting that big multiplier which is the fuel for addiction and it will never stop unless the person stop doing gambling na dtake a rehab.

But it is good intiative, it may satisfy the urge or people who wants to gamble and no risk of losing money I mean the people are over the line of just gambling for entertainment but still not yet reached the addicitive state.

By the way, your title is a little unrelated to the content of your topic, the title should be to stop gambling addiction, not gambling.

Even though I've just heard of tournaments like this, I'm quite pessimistic that it will have a big impact on stopping them from gambling addiction, because what gambling addicts actually aim for is real winning money (they've lost a lot so they hope to be able to get their money back missing). The tournament above will certainly attract the interest of many gamblers, but only for those who consider gambling to be entertainment.

I don't know if many of you knows SocialTournaments where they hold free tournaments with different types,maximum multiplier,total points score and other related slot machines tournament,they are managed by Pragmatic Play provider and it is a way to invite people to gambling but I see it as an alternative to people who are addicted,they can stop the addiction as they offer enough daily,weekly and monthly tournaments to keep you entertained without you spending any money and if you are in luck and get the biggest multiplier or biggest score you even win real money to your account which you can withdraw to your crypto wallets.

I am in no way affiliated with them and you need big KYC,Proof of Address,National ID and Proof of Wallet to get your money.Do you think this platform can help people remove addiction,I think it can be a big boost to do so.
