As an ex alcoholic I can only imagine having a gambling machine (smartphone) in your pocket is like if my taps at home dispensed cold water from one and vodka from the other.
When did they ban alcohol adverts? As someone who doesn't drink, I have them rammed down throat daily, portraying drinkers as exotic successful people, so I notice them quite well.
@@simonatford1 you think swarms of drunk people are social? Gamblers walk among us too, they don't hide in the shadows. Drunk people are the literal definition of antisocial, more than 140,000 people die from excessive alcohol use in the U.S. each year, yet around 13,000 die of heroin overdose. You can make all excuses you like but I bet gamblers aren't topping themselves in the hundreds of thousands because they placed a bet. Let's also talk about how many drunks have wasted all their money on the shite, why do ignore this? Kids that grow up with a drunk parent and have to go hungry because their parent wants to get drunk. Alcohol is the biggest problem society has and we're all such a bunch of drunks, we make excuses for it constantly. First rule of addiction is admitting where there's a problem, society made that rule too.
@@simonatford1 Almost half of all drug poisonings continue to involve an opiate. For deaths registered in 2021, a total of 2,219 drug poisoning deaths involved opiates; this was 1.9% lower than in 2020 (2,263 deaths). According to the latest data from the Office for National Statistics (ONS), deaths from alcohol-specific causes in the UK have increased from 11·8 per 100 000 people in 2019 to 14·0 per 100 000 people in 2020. It's funny how it was harder to find alcohol related deaths in the UK over the US, I thought you would bitch about so I went and found it...
Yes! Also we should address video game lootboxes (basically gambling) and their similar tiny percentage of players who make up the majority of their profits by spending thousands each.
Absolutely! My husband got addicted to these badly. Spent thousands of pounds we didn't have on them, and we're still dealing with the mountain of debt he racked up. Alot of the mobile titles he was pouring money into were made by the gambling industry. It was just a new unregulated area for them to move into.
@@jopasc8998 A lot of games publishers, especially in mobile gaming, have embraced aggressive manipulation. They hire psychologists now, and use a lot of subtle and quite effective tricks to coax people into parting with as much money as possible. Yes, it's the individuals choice to spend - but the game design can do a lot to influence that choice. For an example, look at Diablo Immortal: It's technically free-to-play, which is great to attract players. But once they've played a bit, got invested, they might notice that the game gives a decisive advantage to those who spend money in-game - so unless you are willing to part with cash, you will forever be a fourth-rate player. Even more sleezy, the way loot drops works penalises paying players for playing with a non-payer - so there is social pressure to pay up as well. If you don't, then no-one will play with you. It also uses a common trick of pay-gating story. With this, a game will start off without any pressure to pay. Usually advertising driven. This gets the players to enjoy it, see the story, get emotionally invested. But as the game advances... oh, it won't demand money. But the pressure will grow. There will be levels which are designed to be near-impossible to complete without paying for some items, or intentionally boring drawn-out grinding sections which no-one likes but can be skipped for a fee. So if you want to see the end of the story, pay up.
I agree but why would you let pictures on a screen influence you. Turn sound of and look away if you find it appealing to you but your core beliefs are against it
I mean it kind of tells me that Google isn't doing all that good. A job at spying on me because if they were and if they did know more about me than I knew about myself.

Ive bet a handful of times in my life. I opened up an account once and put a £250 bet on the boxing (I was so sure!😫) For the next four months I had personalised calls from the same very polite staff member offering me free bets and all sorts of incentives. I refused to majority of them and explained that I wasn’t really a gambler. If I was however, they would have milked me dry. All the while chatting to me like we were the dearest of friends.

Plus I don’t really care for money beyond being comfortable. But, when it came to calling fights I found that the couple of times I bet on them I made a decision with my high and chasing the long odds rather than basing it on analysis.

You can use CZcams or Twitter or whatever public timestamp platform you choose. But just make it public so we can see your losses and wins because I studied maths to a high level and the gambling industry make sure you have a much lower than 100% chance of getting your money back. Have you got a public list already posted which you made your predictions ahead of the fights so we can go back and see that you were correct and that you're actually up? If you're travelling the world then you've probably already done your list and you've probably already made it public ahead of each fight. Right?

Capitalism at its core is gambling. As in all facets of life not maintaining a modicum of self control will inevitably lead to destruction if you allow risks to escalate
@@jopasc8998 why do politicians enforce speed limits? Drink driving? Smoking? Seat belts? Some of these things don't affect the health outcome of others, some do. But this is a politician's imperative to protect the population from harm. To regulate these if not make illegal. It's legal, but it's unregulated. They get way too much money from it, and have no thought of the harm it does.
@@pastorofmuppets8834 this is such a mess of a response its hard to understand. The point you make, I think, is the organisations that run countries prioritise monetary gain over the lives(human I assume) they govern?
@@jopasc8998 most of the time. The seat belt example: no lobby groups, only loss of life and limb resulting from car accidents when seat belts are not worn, costing the govt a lot in health care and loss of income. That's a good thing. Despite people having the responsibility to use it or not, they are given no choice by law. In a car crash it doesn't hurt anyone else except the individual. Gambling gives the Govt lots of money, the politicians are probably given lots in "lobby" money, but it costs the country billions, as well as breaking down families, ruining lives, suicides etc. Yet it's not only legal but unregulated. Online gambling is huge and it preys on the vulnerable and there is such a thing as addiction, which is exacerbated by the designs of Poker machines, apps etc.
I used to work for William Hill - awful company. Those FOBTs do so much damage to people. I would frequently tell the customers to stop betting and go home to try to help them break away (didn't ever work sadly)
Fixed Odds Betting Terminal or video roulette to most people. These machines are to gambling what Special Brew is to drinking. You can pretty much guarantee that anyone sitting at one of those machines is a problem gambler.
Thank you so much, Cassette Boy, for highlighting these issues. They are not much in the news, but should not be overlooked. The failure of the Government and Opposition parties to tackle gambling is a mark of national shame.
I've worked in an arcade and the regulars basically paid the bills and showed all the warning signs of addictions, but nothing was really done about it. :(
Not that I don't love you making fun of politicians in general, but this is something different, and it's honestly great to hear. You're totally right. Like the tobacco and alcohol industries, they make almost all their profits on people who, by any sane standard, wreck their lives on what they sell. And because there's no way they don't know that, you get complete gangsters running the industry. Even though it's legal. Only someone psychopathic can keep doing that for long. Being a slumlord, being a corporate lawyer, being an adman, you can find people who sort of sincerely think they're doing something good, even though they aren't. For gambling barons though? No chance in hell. They know.
A friend's brother decided to take the opportunity to blacklist himself in betting shops back in 2019, but that didn't remedy the problem at all given that you no longer need a physical establishment due to online gambling. Long story short; he's dead now.
As a former gambling auditor, it is still absolutely disgusting to me how lax the gambling laws in the UK are. I left the industry pretty quick after finding out how bad it was. I just didn't feel clean taking money that was ultimately derived from such greed and dishonesty.
Good on you Cassetteboy for bringing some oxygen to this topic - it's a disgusting industry. I don't know how James O' Brien, Andrew Marr, Emily Maitliss etc. can stand to have their voices heard between the relentless slime of betting adverts on LBC. That's just one example of this industry's advertising being tolerated by people who should know better and could do something about it but choose not to. Come on LBC, come on James O' Brien - I call on you to strike against Betvictor and the rest of these vile exploitative brands.
Their platforms for advertising should absolutely be taken away, and I'd probably extend that to booze advertising as well, but I think it would be a mistake to attempt to ban gambling altogether. We only need to look at the enormous, extremely profitable black market drug industries to know that there's no point trying to crack down on supply without also addressing demand, and I fear there will always be a demand for gambling, just like with drugs, tobacco, alcohol, junk food or whatever other potentially dangerous pursuit you can think of in life. It just needs to be regulated far better. It's one thing for something to be legal, quite another for it to effectively be incentivised and culturally reinforced. tl;dr good video as always
I'm kinda ashamed to admit I worked in the casino industry around 20 years ago, the good thing though is it opened up my eyes to how much damage it can cause
No need to be ashamed. All business is conducted as ruthlessly as legally possible to be "successful" All adults need to exercise personal discipline in all areas of life, this is no different
Once again it boils down to allowing profits to leave the country untaxed as with every other industry. Gambling is as old and ingrained as prostitution and will remain so ...
@@FriendlyNeighbourhoodSpidey "And most billionaires do pay their fair share of tax." I've seen your posts about matched betting but don't know enough about it to ascertain whether you're shilling for the industry, but now I know...😒🥸

Why can't we disable gambling transactions across all our accounts in a click? While we're there, let me temporarily block payments to food delivery and any other business I decide isn't working in my interest.
One quick form to GamStop and it`ll shut your online gambling down instantly, for free, hopefully long enough to break the addiction cycle. Worked for me. The industry is regulated, but clearly not going to help people not do business with them unless they are forced to.
An incredible protest song, all about protecting people with gambling addictions, being sung by two MPs that seem to benefit most from it. Like I need to take a step back to appreciate this
I used to work in the gaming industry when it first started online. Parents were using moderators like damn babysitter service 🤣 Then they wondered why are their kids fecked up? I quit when they got greedy and started selling the games to ea for them to kill. They monopolise and control with zero rules!
The UK government is pretty relaxed about the stupendously wealthy running off with billions of taxpayer’s money when it’s illegal. How concerned do you think they are about it happening legally?

And because there's no way they don't know that, you get complete gangsters running the industry. Even though it's legal. Only someone psychopathic can keep doing that for long. Being a slumlord, being a corporate lawyer, being an adman, you can find people who sort of sincerely think they're doing something good, even though they aren't. For gambling barons though? No chance in hell. They know.
Brilliant.
Favorite video ever.
Good use of your platform, raising awareness
You mean "raising awareness", right?
@@Tactical_Hotdog yes, original was a typo
Very good
Brilliant 👍
A friend's brother decided to take the opportunity to blacklist himself in betting shops back in 2019, but that didn't remedy the problem at all given that you no longer need a physical establishment due to online gambling.
Long story short; he's dead now.
So brilliant
brilliant vid
👏👏👏 Well done
Cassette ~ Boiii. Fan for life bud.
Great video 👌
This was awesome
As a former gambling auditor, it is still absolutely disgusting to me how lax the gambling laws in the UK are. I left the industry pretty quick after finding out how bad it was. I just didn't feel clean taking money that was ultimately derived from such greed and dishonesty.
great vid as always
Man, this is good! Wish I had one for Canada!
Bravo.
I was like "Rishi is talking a lot of sense" and then I remembered what I was watching, shame, gambling laws need to move with the times.
Might as well legalise all drugs if they don't sort out gambling, people would be better off.
never stop
Thank you.
didn't rishi make his bunce betting in the stock market?
Good on you Cassetteboy for bringing some oxygen to this topic - it's a disgusting industry. I don't know how James O' Brien, Andrew Marr, Emily Maitliss etc. can stand to have their voices heard between the relentless slime of betting adverts on LBC.
That's just one example of this industry's advertising being tolerated by people who should know better and could do something about it but choose not to. Come on LBC, come on James O' Brien - I call on you to strike against Betvictor and the rest of these vile exploitative brands.
Great cause.
Daaaaaamn
Sir Dan of Moodyshire!
The gambling industry has a hold over the British parliament
Very well said. Something needs to be done.
Their platforms for advertising should absolutely be taken away, and I'd probably extend that to booze advertising as well, but I think it would be a mistake to attempt to ban gambling altogether. We only need to look at the enormous, extremely profitable black market drug industries to know that there's no point trying to crack down on supply without also addressing demand, and I fear there will always be a demand for gambling, just like with drugs, tobacco, alcohol, junk food or whatever other potentially dangerous pursuit you can think of in life. It just needs to be regulated far better. It's one thing for something to be legal, quite another for it to effectively be incentivised and culturally reinforced.
tl;dr good video as always
Cooool
I'm kinda ashamed to admit I worked in the casino industry around 20 years ago, the good thing though is it opened up my eyes to how much damage it can cause
No need to be ashamed. All business is conducted as ruthlessly as legally possible to be "successful"
All adults need to exercise personal discipline in all areas of life, this is no different
Rishi got some sick beats I bet.
Once again it boils down to allowing profits to leave the country untaxed as with every other industry.
Gambling is as old and ingrained as prostitution and will remain so ...
Well in.
What a message... a sorry state of affairs.
Amen
And the lottery adds glamour and endorsement to it all. A tax on desperation.
If I had wings I would fly
Smoking adverts were banned, so why not gambling adverts?
Excellent video! Perhaps do ones about the lack of action on climate change, homelessness or how much billionaires have and how little tax they pay.
There is already a lot being done about all of those things. And most billionaires do pay their fair share of tax.
@@FriendlyNeighbourhoodSpidey "And most billionaires do pay their fair share of tax."
I've seen your posts about matched betting but don't know enough about it to ascertain whether you're shilling for the industry, but now I know...😒🥸
I keep forgettin' I'll be in debt even more.
One of Blairs ideas along with extended licencing laws.
Gaming industry is pure evil at present, even slot machines with ridiculous stakes that are all or nothing when they were only really allowed because they were AWP's, amusements with prizes. No amusement nowadays, all about hardcore gambling for ever more enticing Jackpots.
I believe Blair was instrumental in deregulating gambling in the UK.
I hope James Stephanie Sterling sees this haha
Thank you! I know i have a problem during matches but even after calling them they couldn’t help me :/
0:25 should've been "so they don't pay tax / just like me" 😆

Gambling - a fool and their money are soon parted.
haha brilliant

This slaps hahah
did i just learn something?
Why can't we disable gambling transactions across all our accounts in a click? While we're there, let me temporarily block payments to food delivery and any other business I decide isn't working in my interest.
I like how he's going on about how gambling is not putting money into the HMRC... whilst his entire party tax evades wherever they can.
One quick form to GamStop and it`ll shut your online gambling down instantly, for free, hopefully long enough to break the addiction cycle. Worked for me. The industry is regulated, but clearly not going to help people not do business with them unless they are forced to.
GamStop 😂
And we know gambling institutions regularly fail to follow through on that form.
An incredible protest song, all about protecting people with gambling addictions, being sung by two MPs that seem to benefit most from it.
Like I need to take a step back to appreciate this
I used to work in the gaming industry when it first started online. Parents were using moderators like damn babysitter service 🤣
Then they wondered why are their kids fecked up? I quit when they got greedy and started selling the games to ea for them to kill. They monopolise and control with zero rules!
The UK government is pretty relaxed about the stupendously wealthy running off with billions of taxpayer’s money when it’s illegal. How concerned do you think they are about it happening legally?
