Stray thoughts: - This is good. You would have been laid off if they had hired you. Layoffs during mergers are extremely common. You should avoid interviewing at companies that are merging in the future. - I don't think gambling should be illegal, but it does hurt a lot of people. You may find that working for a gambling company hurts your employment prospects in the future. I would suggest avoiding companies in industries that either are harming society or are popularly thought to be harming it (gambling, porn, Meta, etc.)
