Gambling companies offer nothing to society
This is a non issue. Gambling corporations dont want customers or people who are gambling addicts, they are known as problem gamblers. Thereputable companies will you show the slightest concern that you might be an addict limit your account instantly or shut it down. Caulker with a history of being an gambling addict will never have a job with a reputable gambling company. I have a friend who was declined a job at bet365 as well because his account there had been shut down due to responsible gaming concerns…
It’s hilarious that you think the gambling companies actually care about their customers. Absolutely none of the ‘protection’ protocols they have in place would exist if it was up to them. They run adverts and allow you to limit yourself so they can say to anyone complaining that they do actually care, look at what we are doing. You’ve literally got a story here about them blocking a former addict from appearing on TV because they are scared. Yet you think it’s a non issue, yikes.
Gambling sites are pos I asked yesterday on fan duel if there was a way I could turn off the casino feature because i mainly use the Sportsbook they closed my account fucking scum
Gambling companies are parasites. They have a long history of trying to enticing people into betting, even giving them incentives with physical goods and extra free bets despite being fully aware they’re an addict.
People often say to me that it’s great players can now open up about their struggles.
Can they really? I certainly wouldn’t encourage it
I’d honestly say the exact same about mental health. When a player opens up everybody will praise them for their bravery and honesty in the moment.
But the minute a discussion about something like being captain/crucial penalties comes up you can guarantee they’ll be a lot of people questioning wether they’re mentally strong enough.
Bet365 are vile fucking parasites. Provide fucking nothing to the world whilst profiting of people’s abject misery. The amount of money the company makes is obscene.
I’m not necessarily all in for ‘treat gambling addiction like a drug addiction’, but the relentless betting advertising that’s just absolutely everywhere exacerbates problems people may already have. It’s disgusting.
People seem to wonder why the premier League is the wealthiest in the world and how even relegation clubs get more revenue than other leagues winners. It’s mostly broadcasting revenue.
Where does broadcasting revenue come from? Broadcasters. Where do broadcasters make their money from? Ads. I don’t live in the UK but sail the high seas and I’m shocked at the number of ads before, during and after the matches on Sky. Not even counting all the side frames during the halftime talk and during the games showing me a plethora of odds. It’s abnormal and unheard of in Asia and the middle east (starsports India or BEIN middle east channels).
Sky, who own Skybet and get money from bet365 and other betting sides are the lifeblood of the premier League. They control a chunk of the media. If you attempt to stop gambling sites from promoting themselves the way they are doing so now, things crash very quickly and the premier League no longer can afford all the players and salaries they can now. And it’s a rigged process. It’s obvious they don’t want these persons on their shows.
