Topic: Who is to be blamed, the gambler or the betting agent - page 17. (Read 1947 times)

I don't know how the betting service works in your country, I don't know how this betting company works, so it's difficult to comment precisely on this subject, but taking into account the laws of my country, for example, and suppose it's the same as the one in In your country I would say that the responsibility lies with the betting agent, legally in my country and in many countries it is forbidden for gambling companies to make loans to players, this is illegal because gambling companies are only licensed to operate games of bad luck and not to operate with a credit bank

so in this case the betting agent will be found guilty and he will have to pay the company where he works, the guy who played would just pay if he wanted to, he is not legally obliged to pay anything, no doubt the betting agent will be fired from betting company, and as we don't know about the betting company's TOS, we can't say whether these betting company employees will be held criminally responsible or not, because most of the time these betting companies in Africa are doing slave work, that's because the salary of the betting agent is a small commission for each ticket that is sold, this I consider very unfair

The worker at your sight will settle the betting shop owner, if that's the only Shop available in that locality for gambling needs. The gambler is addicted, if not he could've left once after the loss. What he had done is kind of borrowing to gamble. Here the mistake is with the gambling shop owner, because he had tempted the person to gamble and made him loss.

To the OP, If you get an opportunity to ask a question to the gambling shop owner please ask the below question.
You've given credit to gamble, if he had won big will you not ask for the winning amount?? If so, he should take part in the loss too.

By making installment adjustments in my opinion, how much is his ability in one installment and asking him to do it until it is paid off, if the player still cannot pay his debt then it is the fault of the betting agent because he is greedy enough to let his customer gamble more than the financial capacity that the customer has, it becomes the thing that can be when a person becomes greedy because it will benefit him so when the reality is the opposite then that is a risk he has to accept because it also leads someone to gamble more than their means.

He do not know the work of a betting agent. Betting agent do not borrow people money to bet. He will know this if he has been in the business for long. Football or other sport virtual matches takes less than 15 to 30 seconds from start to to the end and it can make someone to bet further before he realizes that his money has been exhausted.

A situation occurred today in my locality,  I have some guys working for me today and suddenly I hard them battling with an issues and when I get close to them to know what exactly the problem is,  and I asked the guy who look strange to me since I am meeting him for the first time and not a worker on the site what his business and why he is distracting the workers from work.

Then the guy narrated his case to be and he said,  that one of the workers came to his betting shop the yesterday to play some visual,  that at first the guy came with ₦‎1,000 in my local currency to make the bets and along the line, he existed the balance but as a regular customer,  the agent decided to allow him at further on credits and in all he accumulated a total debt of ₦‎8,000 because he lost all the bets and since that yesterday he has been on the run from the gambling agent until he traced him to the site today.

So when I wanted to judge the case and possible settlement,  I query the casino agent how can you allow a customer to gamble on credit to the tune of 8k Knowing fully well that the gambler only has a 1k balance which already existed?

Also what is the probability that the gambler will ever return after owning such debt in the betting shops,  note the gambler's daily pay is 2k as a helper on the site,  so he has to work for 4 days to be able to meet that debt that is if he doesn't make any other expenses.

Question is:

What is the possibility of the betting agent getting his money soon/considering the gambler's low-income earnings?
