Should betting companies invest in rehabilitation centres?

[Didia Sofunichi]

How can you think that? Gambling companies will always need gamblers so that the bookies' income will not stop... if there are no gamblers, the casino will not get money... building a gambling rehabilitation center is something that no casino will ever do... they need money and of course they need more gamblers to enrich themselves.

If you see a rehabilitation center for people who are addicted to gambling and it was built by one of the casinos, believe me that it is just something that is engineered and will definitely not last long....

It will last as long as the betting company last. If the betting company decides to close the rehabilitation centre then the government will sanction it by closing the betting company

This is not logical, why would betting company even be responsible for gamblers greed? Look on this from perspective of different business. Lets say you have a restaurant. It is popular, but some people prefer to eat extra and gain extra weight. They become fat, and government force you to buy them subscription to a gym. And if they dont buy it, government will close your restaurant. You think that would be fair?

There is no doubt that the gambling industry does have a vested interest in the preservation of its operations, and that is undeniable. They can understand how the existing context is further envision to maintain the attraction of large number of people and raise great hopes which may not always meet the anticipated prospects. When an item has become an element of their business dealings, then the factor of profit is never far behind. Hence, awareness of this behaving may be something that one should take into consideration to prevent it from worsening. It is normal for one to have interest on something but if this interest is left unwarranted, it turns out to have negative repercussions. A person’s well-being should not be anchored on something that is pegged on the lottery. Such an effort if good looking, does not mean that we should not try to look at all the possibilities that lies behind it.

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

In the current time you will see that most of the casino speacially the new casino they add a page in their footer of their website about the responsible gambling even I don't want to say anything negative on it but even they were adding this to their site they were trying to make an positive vibe specially for their own marketing, like you and me and the other most people will definitely be attract on these casino where this kinds of thing get priority because we all want to stay on the safe side and the mean time  we choose those casino and play on them and ultimately they were get profit even they were promote that responsible gambling.

I think it would be commendable if the problem is solved by motivating betting companies rather than imposing any responsibility on them. Because betting companies are helping the government with their(revenue) finances, it can be a threat to them if something is forced on them. Although they are capable of running big charitable organizations with their help if they want, it is better to take their own initiative and do something like this. If someone starts once, other companies will also try to do better.

Do we have free cancer treatment from cigarette manufacturers?

Do we have free rehab as well as complete free medical care from the liquor manufacturers?

The why the gambling is the problem created by the casinos not the people who does that?

I am not defending the casinos here but addiction is an individual's choice so if they make wrong choice then they should pay for it.

[PX-Z]

They might but i don't think they will, unless the government required them to do so. Most casinos terms have that kind of thinking that they are not responsible to someone's decision to gamble thus they have notes for responsible gambling on the platform

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.

yes i agree with you,betting companies should work in hand with expert therapist along side with the rehab for those addicted ones to help provide a good counseling and assesments of progress.

I oppose bookies sponsoring rehabilitation programmes because bookies cannot be held responsible for gambler addiction. Bookies should instead implement restrictions to help gamblers protect their earnings, as prevention is preferable to cure.

The fact that not all addiction cases are revealed means that not all addicts will be in rehabilitation, and thus the addiction problem will continue.

I agreed with you because gambling is not a compulsion or mandatory something someone should get the seller involved, and as I know gambling is not a game for everyone but only for those who are interested and can gamble responsible. Rehabilitation center should be provided by government and not gambling site as I know that gambling site aren't in any way compelling Gambler to come gamble.

If a gambling company engages in any service-based work, that is their own business. They can invest money to support the government in good works for their advertising or business growth, but in such work, there is generally no obligation on the part of any gambling companies. There is no restriction if a gambling company does something of its own free will, and there is no restriction if it does not do something. That is why I do not think that we should impose anything on the general public on this issue.

Its just an option. Its not their obligation to make it their business to help addicted fellow. If they wanna work together with the government all the better but the first gambling company who would do this might just benefit more.

Because there might just be changes in the future where governments will only give licenses to a gambling company whenever they are tied to help addicted gamblers. This could be mandatory by then.

You could be right and of course there is a sense to what you said but, from what I senses only big and large gambling company could want to do this because as we know, this is meant to be a government responsibility because those gambling site do pay taxes. Government in their own should build those houses as they are also taxing those gambling site, but it would be cool if gambling site or 1-4 of them team together to build a rehabilitation center, this could position them in a faster way and attract more gamblers also gain recognition across the globe as the best gambling companies.

Maybe not to that extent, in my opinion, but somehow, they should give back to the community that they are in and make sure that their players are checking themselves and making sure that they are not risking too much and that they are not addicted.

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
