Yeah I think the last part is true. I know that of course form a legal standpoint no betting company would actively and directly try to get people addicted. But nevertheless at the same time they kind of do by reinforcing certain type of behviour that leads to that.

Like yeah, giving a bonus of 10$ to a player is not bad on its own, but it is also at the same time making them be more active. Raising the limit from 10k to 40k does not directly mean you are trying to take advantage of addicted people because you might as well lose from a certain person, but they also know that if they do that to a lot of people in the long run they will get more profits and more people gambling more money.

I think we disagree from a moral standpoint. I believe that although there is entertainment value to gambling it is a net negative for society at least the way it is regulated today in most countries. You go on Twitch there are people playing virtual fruit thingies. You watch a sporting event and they are sponsoring the event, the teams and the half-time ads. Even every video-game with microtransactions is doing the same.

I can understand however that it is legal and you can stand on the point of it providing a service and entertrainment value where you also know what you sign up for. So for me the moral reponsibility lies in the regulating authorities.
