I agree with your sentiments that advertisement during a game should be illegal.
Addiction hits people hard. Not just people.. FAMILIES. Life is hard enough and people without knowing they can fall in to it unexpectedly, or are peer pressured to try it. You get that dopamine hit. One little win. One win here, one win there. Betting more and more. Then it's all gone. Yeah, it is their decision. It's their decision to quit too, and that's hard.
Internet gambling hits kids with video game skins/trades, I don't agree with that either.. it sets them on the wrong, and I do me very wrong path. It's an epidemic. I live in a small town where indian reservations collect everybody's social security checks. They sit there like zombies and press the button hoping for a return, never getting one. Push. Push. Push. Money gone. Many of my friends lost themselves to betting and gambling addiction, and addiction over all. While I agree, it's their decision, addiction takes the best humans in my opinion.
I believe in things that better people, we may not always know what they are, but a positive influence from somebody can start right here: I believe in you, and if you're out there and have a gambling addiction, there is hope and you can fight it, and you aren't lost. https://www.ncpgambling.org/help-treatment/help-by-state/ https://www.ncpgambling.org/help-treatment/help-by-state/ - https://www.ncpgambling.org/help-treatment/treatment-facilities/ https://www.ncpgambling.org/help-treatment/treatment-facilit...
And if you want to just talk about it, my e-mails in my profile and we can message from there.
I'm completely anti-gambling, but to each their own if somebody wants to I won't try to persuade them.
- aaomidi 2y agoGambling is effectively taking advantage of a subset of society that is significantly less likely to be able to stand against the “allure” of it. This is why IMO in a civilized society it should be banned. But we’re not living in a civilized society so…
- indigo0086 2y agoThose people will still exist and their predisposed "allure" will be directed to something else. Trying to create bettet people by pressing buttons here and there to hide things from their sight gets complicated and intrusive fast
- mrinfinitiesx 2y agoRight. It's complicated. I put it out there to talk to people about it. It's ..hard. People fill a void within themselves with anything but their own self love, I get it.
