SpRiTeNeSsV2 Posted 30 June, 2016 Share Posted 30 June, 2016 So i was thinking about how sometimes gambling can ruin someone's life, when it goes from playing as a hobbie or just for fun then turns into an addiction. Now i love watching casino streamers on twitch when im working at home, good company, good streamers but do you think streamers should warn any new followers etc about the dangers of gambling when promoting their preferred casino site? Could just be a link on their page directing them to gambling aware site? Cause im sure alot of people know someone who has been effected by gambling, i know i have in the past. Link to comment
Skylined87 Posted 1 July, 2016 Share Posted 1 July, 2016 Yeah gambling is really dangerous. We all try to have our limits, but we mostly cross them anyway (that's why I think all the "responsible gambling" things on the casinos is useless) as we can always find a way to gamble even if we have everything set in place. As a streamer and as a moderator I always encourage people that they shouldn't gamble in the first place. I got quite a few whispers regarding how somebody lost so much and if slots are "rigged" and stuff like that, I always advise them to take a break or to give up gambling completely as it's "throwing money away". I have noticed in Nickslots and Letsgiveitaspin streams that they talk about that as well and try to inform the viewers of dangers of gambling, which I find really good thing to do. But then, there are other streamers which are just raking the money and don't really care about the viewers.... And as far as it goes for gamble aware site, I think it's useless. I think most help that people can get is to talk about it and share their experiences or downfalls. Link to comment

Yeah very true, Gambling addiction is very dangerous and have ruin many lives and families. Very one know about the danger about gambling and it is not hidden from anyone. I also play at online casino for fun but sometimes I also get worried about if I get addicted to it. Link to comment
