We know that gambling can be very addictive for people who might not be going about it responsibly and that if most beginner are not properly guided by experienced individual that have heard a share of their personal experience in irresponsible gambling, they will become a victim of gambling addiction and might have a marred thought process as it regards safe gambling
so I'm thinking if it would be possible for a thread or sub board to be created in the form of a mental orientation section that people can just visit and go through ethics of responsible gambling, share experiences and current challenges faced as a gambler. It could just be used for discussions regarding responsible gambling and do if ones goes through the board or thread, while starting or going about his gambling, their will be check in his jar it as a result of peoples lives experiences he has read.
I just said I should air this out, I don't know if this is possible or a better suggestion should be giving.
I do agree that having a place where people can be made aware of the dangers of gambling would definitely be a good thing on this board, where there are so many gamblers. But I do not think that we need a separate board for this. A pinned topic however, would be more than sufficient, as someone in this topic already replied.
A pinned topic could serve as an overview which is constantly being updated with information about the newest dangers and pitfalls.
Although having said that, the only thing you really need in order to avoid the traps of gambling is human common sense and a little bit of discipline.
