>Hopefully they will learn life's harsh lessons. I don't think that's really fair. Are you familiar with the effects of gambling in poor communities? Every pokie machine can have a sign on it that says 'Gambling ruins you and your family' and it doesn't help. Enabling a community to flourish in it's own right is what stops gambling. Anyway, what I was pointing out is that the online gambling industry has so far worked well to get money out of two types of people: those who can afford to lose, and those who can't. I'd like to see anyone going into this industry really focusing on the first group and not being predatory in attracting the second. How? I don't know but I'll support whoever manages it with my own poker-chip purchases. An example: be a good gambling franchise and put 30% of your profit into addiction awareness and support (something like this is mandatory in Australia for example I believe).
