Betting company are already doing that by warming people not  to take gambling to the point where it becomes a problem to you every gambling company is in support of responsible gambling practice where they will advice gambler's not to gamble with money that they can't afford to lose so I think telling betting companies to invest in rehabilitation centers for the sake of gambler's health is not in order because before you engage in gambling it's already written that it's plus 18 so it's assumed that your mote that eighteen year

Gambling sites do not focus much on the fight against addiction because they are constantly on the receiving end when gamblers become addicted. This is similar to smoking companies claiming that smokers are more likely to die young, but they continue to produce smoke.

If gambling sites want to ensure that gamblers are liberated, they must be intentional and assist gamblers by limiting the number of times they gamble daily.

Addicted gamblers fuel their business, it makes no sense for them to invest in rehab centers. Anyhow, I agree with what Findingnemo said earlier, it's completely upon individual and none else can be held responsible for one's own choices, it's not like betting companies force anyone to play there, sure they may use shady marketing techniques to entice customers but end of the day it's still individual's choice to go there.

Yes, the gambling industry is in a very advantageous position here because they make money through people playing games while on the other hand people get addicted which should not be the case. If there is an intention to assist then there ought to be something that is being done to avoid the players cultivating behaviours that are not beneficial to themselves. Issuing warnings is not sufficient when there exist no efficient subdivisions like playtime or enhanced self-control measures apart from the general advice. For this reason, if an industry goes on business as usual without having proper and sincere interest in protecting the consumers, then what happens is not only repercussions that an individual alone bears, but a societal issue.

Every business does have a social responsibility to the society, and i particularly and specifically include gambling platforms as these ought to benefit the wider society and not just serve the purpose of making money. Extending education to the people and supporting such rehabilitation centres may be a good signal that this industry has social responsibility for the social effects resulting from these practises. If implemented in this way, there will be a balance that will be created in between business and community. The other positive effects of participation in educating players concerning the risks involved are also likely to bring positive changes with them for the individuals and also the rest of society. Finally, each action contemplated in this paper will mean much if it can be of positive impact to many individuals.
