Take it a step further and outlaw VLT’s
I’d vote for banning them altogether along with online apps.
Lotteries were illegal until 1969 when they became provincially regulated.
I know of two self made millionaires who’ve won multiple times at the cost of probably tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars.
I also used to personally know one trust fund baby from generation wealth, and he calls it the poor mans tax.
Wish I could claw back the $10/week my mother has spent my entire life.
Smart move!
Gambling apps should be banned too. It turbocharges the manipulative tactics used against someone trying to control their gambling habits. If you’re trying to quit, they use your personal data to for profiling and figuring out exactly the best way to get you to log back into their app through things like targeted ads and notifications.
They told those fucking idiots exactly what would happen, and it did.
Can’t come soon enough.
But then there well beno ads on cable. Sports would have nothing.
Don’t threaten me with a good time…
I know modern day capitalism does not work without ads, it is impossible for the 1% to get richer if their worker bees are payed what they are worth and when said worker bee is not having their labour value abused they need to be stolen from via ads. If said ad gets this person hooked on gambling than that makes the 1% even richer helping people avoid gambling is a good step.
What about “Tide” and “Molson” and all of the other invasive ads out there? Let’s do those as well.
How about we deal with the worst and most recently created evil first?
