Should betting companies invest in rehabilitation centres?

[electronicash]

I think betting companies should invest in rehabilitation centres. They should be mandated by government to erect rehabilitation centres because gambling addicts are growing in their numbers on a daily basis.

I also think that gambling addicts need special kind of rehabilitation different from the kind of rehabilitation other mentally unstable people need. So in my opinion there should be rehabilitation centres dedicated to only gambling addicts and it should be funded by gambling companies.

Your thinking is really good and rehabilitation should be done for addicted gamblers, but I have doubts about how many gambling companies will do these things.
Because if they do this, gambling companies will reduce their own revenue. And I don't think they will make any investment to reduce their own revenue. And even if some gambling platforms do this, they will have a positive marketing purpose behind it, but how effective they will keep it is actually doubtful for me.

i'm sure not all gambling companies will support this as its going to expose them as the reason why people are miserable while they lose their money gambling in their business.

but it would also be more irresponsible of them to just keep people playing without them at least contributing to restoration of their life. but ye i'm sure they are up to take money form customers, hard to believe they are giving away.

Government are the ones that are suppose to help addicted gamblers have a rehabilitation home by adding it in their regulations that casinos should pay a certain amount of money annually to build such pkace and for the welfare of the addicts. But I believe that the family of this addicts should also bs responsible for their health too.

Every casino and every company can do any kind of activity to help whatever it may be, it is also necessary to know something, the casinos do not have any kind of responsibility with the cases of addiction, we must not confuse things, the casinos that help these rehabilitation centers is because some have a good heart, other casinos are dedicated to donating or do different types of help activities, everything depends on what the casino as such provides.

The argument here is simple, the casino shops are responsible for the level of addiction you find in the society as a result of gambling. Shouldn't they help fight this addiction as a matter of responsibility?

Yeah, those rehab centers would look good for their image. Casinos will spend on rehab while telling the public they are also doing community service. This will show people that they are responsible and this same people will soon patronize their gambling platform

Is this not similar to a local politician doing some charity works while stealing millions from the public funds?

The answer is simple: NO.

Why? The casino does not force us to play, the casino does not force us to bet large amounts, the casino only offers its gaming/entertainment services with the option to win and/or lose, so it is up to the casino whether or not it wants to collaborate with that option you mention, but it is not a duty, that is what must be made very clear.

We are the ones who always make the decisions, nobody forces us, that is why I repeat it.

I don't think it's anyone responsibility to build a rehab for gambling person. Does gambling makes anyone sick or mad to be opening one? If it's then I think the government would have ban casino for long because of the effect on people. It's addiction thag people get and that's there own responsibility to take because there is a term and conditions on every casino they accepted.

If you are gambling for money, stay away from gambling. If you are gambling because you have some financial issues, stay away from gambling and focus on the main things that will give you money and not gambling that can take away everything from you again.

the government is regulating  the casinos, they are the ones only giving them the license to operate which means if a person causes a family to be dysfunctional and their number is increasing, i think its going to be a problem of the government.

having such problem will make the government  take action and ask the betting companies to help after all they both cause all these problem as well.

How do you want the government should regulate gambling and Casino. Most of the time, tbe casinos that you see working in a country are most time registered and recognize, the rest are illegal because they are not registered neither do they pay taxes, and yet the people still patronize them, you dint have to blame the government, it's the people that want to use them are to be blame.


The government are trying with regulation, some casino has age restrictions, kyc requirements and some even have option to suspend your account or deactivate it for some time if a gambler is not feeling comfortable again with gambling, some casino can suspend your account if they found out you are over gambling, all these are to help gamblers.

If the government should mandate that betting companies to have rehabilitation centers meant for gambling addicts, that means gambling should be banned completely because a country can't have what destroys the lives of its citizens to be welcomed in their country.

I will tell you that this will not be possible because gambling has already warned that gamblers should gamble responsibly and be above 18 years old. If someone finds themselves to be a gambling addicts, they should blame themselves for that, not the other way around because betting companies have nothing to do with that because they didn't force anyone to bet always or take them as ways to make easy money

Ideal but not practical. They can't ban alcohol and cigarettes that destroys the body. They can't ban mining that destroys the natural environment. How could the Government stop the main sources of public funds from taxes and licenses? Officials wouldn't want to stop the companies that fills up their pockets

One thing I want to relate here is that everyone knows about smoking that it is bad for health but still they are able to do business because the government is giving them the opportunity to do business. But have they ever made any hospital or rehabilitation? I don't know but in most cases not. I think it may be the same with casino platform.

. Cigarette shops are not littered all over the place the way betting shops are. I have never seen a place where cigarettes are manufactured and besides people are more likely to go into betting than to smoke because betting generates income

[Didia Sofunichi]

I think those whobare part of the problem should be part of the solution. Betting companies should either invest in rehabilitation centres or limit their operations. A lot of people are victims

Actually, if we find all over the world a businessman who don't need profit then we will find zero person.
For example if we get lunch on a restaurant the restaurant owner always try to make their food very tasty so that we can go back there again and again and he can book his profit and expand his business.
And same case for the social media and the mobile companies they always try to make new features so that we don't lose our interest on it and become more addicted on these so that the owner of these can make their business volume more.

And here in the gambling word situation will be same and that will be also natural.

a business’s purpose is literally to make profit it is built with the intention of making profit all the money that is put into a business is expected to come back double otherwise the business will just stop operating because you will just be wasting money

And same case for the social media and the mobile companies they always try to make new features so that we don't lose our interest on it and become more addicted on these so that the owner of these can make their business volume more.

And here in the gambling word situation will be same and that will be also natural.

are you basically saying that gambling companies wouldn’t want to add a feature that would cure or prevent addiction? cause yeah you are right the best they can do is warn you but it’s not their responsibility anymore if you get addicted

Some gambling companies may be interested in this, while others would feel that they have other interests. Those who have other interests should not be forced into a decision like this because instead of the government forcing them to establish and invest in these centers, the government should do so themselves.

The government should not force companies to do what they have not yet done for the citizens.

Its a problem the government didn't create and if those that created this problem can solve it then why involve the government? No company likes Responsibility of any kind. The companies should be compelled to carry out the responsibility
