I agree, I don't think encouraging gambling should have a place here - for moderation we would have to create another rule (or does it count as advertising in some cases?) to prohibit "the encouragement of engagement in reckless behaviour".
Perhaps we could create a community for gambling support if need be.
Yeah. After thinking some more, that might be the best approach for now.
I'm not totally against gambling, and in general I'm against banning things that are legal, within society norms etc.
Maybe it won't turn out to be a big deal. So wait and see is probably the way to go.
Agreed, I don't see it being a big deal here, but more so in the sport communities if they start to take off.
