  Legally held accountable for what, exactly? Providing a service that is explicitly legal and heavily regulated?

    Like subprime mortgages? Sometimes legal and heavily regulated activities can still have devastating results. Legal != moral

      My question had nothing to do with morality (which is subjective, of course) but with legality. So I'm not sure what you're getting at.

        The comment you replied to above, expressed that organizations and people involved in exploiting gambling addicts should be punished for doing so. Sure, they said “legally held accountable” and you replied that these organizations are already operating legally. So then the matter is: should these companies be allowed to continue operating as they currently do because it’s legal? Or should we push for laws/regulations to be changed so they stop exploiting people? This is not a matter of fact issue. It’s a moral, political, and yes subjective, issue. So your question, even if you didn’t intend it to, very much has to do with morality.
