Gambling companies are parasites. They have a long history of trying to enticing people into betting, even giving them incentives with physical goods and extra free bets despite being fully aware they're an addict.

I always rail against betting. I fucking hate it.

I have a mate who is always trying to get me to "just sign up" cuz this app is giving a free $50 bet and he'll get a kickback for my registration, and he'll just give that to me if I want. Or this app does this, etc etc. He's not losing his home over his betting, he does small prop bets and shit and cashes out when he's ahead, but it's still fucking annoying, and clearly a minor addiction for him.
