    Expected. I'm always surprised that virtue signals like "gamble responsibly" or "corporate social responsibility" or the usual greenwashing campaigns work. People are seemingly very gullible.

      those arn't greenwashing. They're carveouts by Corporations to prevent liability from acruing.

      I have no idea what bridge you live under, but ignoring regulatory capture seems pretty obtuse.

        I agree with your sentiment here, but was the bridge comment necessary?

        Ban all gambling in my opinion

          It’s pretty commonly accepted that gambling is an addiction, the OP’s comment comes off as dismissive (people being gullible).

          We don’t talk about alcoholics being gullible - why gamblers? It’s pretty clear how unregulated the industry is, especially in the current climate.
