The only thing the gambling industry understands about 'responsibility' is that it's a useful trope to deflect attention away from the parasitic nature of their products on to individuals who fall prey to them
“There is simply too much advertising during sport and young people, in particular, are significantly overexposed and are in fact facing saturation levels of gambling advertising. It’s not a healthy connection.” #gambling#addiction#sponsorship#auslaw#auspol
@HardBeingGreen they have to do something as there is real anger in the community particularly on how kids are being targeted. If it's anything less than a complete ban I think it will cost them votes (to Teals/Greens)
Swedish court of law orders gambling site to pay back 5.8 million SEK (around 500K USD) to a gambler because they knew he was addicted to gambling and still constantly contacted him to urge him to play more.
@majorlinux First time I heard of Kick was when I heard about a 100% asshole streamer being awful in Japan. So if they let that be up on their system, and if their users flock to it, I have no reason to go near it.
Sure Twitch can be annoying, and it needs much much more competition, but Kick ain’t it.
So for those of you, who do not know about this, there is an accessible app to play the lottery. It is called Jackpocket, and if you are on iOS, you can find it in the iOS App Store. When signing up for it, you do need to scan your ID your state ID that is, for this I had Assistance. Other than that, is completely accessible with voiceover you can order your tickets, check ticket results, and look at the games that are currently up for playing. Depending on what state you live in, you may or may not be able to play the lottery with this app, but I think it is really awesome and worth checking out!#Lottery#Jackpocket#Gambling#Accessibility
'A global team of researchers investigating the statistical and physical nuances of coin tosses worldwide concluded (via Phys.org) that a coin is 50.8% likely to land on the same side it started on, altering one of society’s most traditional assumptions about random decision-making that dates back at least to the Roman Empire.'
@itnewsbot grooming kids to be degenerate gamblers is the actual biggest social virus. It's also the biggest showcase of capitalism in it's purest form, financially abusing the vulnerable for personal gain.
"We know the community is over it", says TAB spokesperson re gambling advertisements during football before 8:30pm. Yes, we are TOTALLY over it, so don't do it!!!
And why, why, why is the AFL encouraging gambling problems by having an official relationship with Sportsbet??? Hasn't the AFL seen the damage gambling has caused for cricket? Clearly they don't care about the damage to people's personal lives by constantly encouraging them to gamble whenever they watch football. #gambling#AFL
Oggi, a parte altre cose un po’ discutibili, mi è tornata un po’ la #fissa del #gambling. Come sapete io sono tirchia, quindi ai casinò non ci entrerei nemmeno se un mio ipotetico amico ludopatico mi promettesse giurin giurello che pagherà per me, però ho qualcosa nella mia testa che vuole che io crei una visual novel o qualcosa del genere su questo tipo di cose; sia per lo sfizio di crearlo come #gioco con tutta una storia e cose fighe, sia perché boh penso che molte altre implementazioni digitali di giochi di carte (almeno quelle senza soldi) non mi piacciono tantissimo come UX. 🤕️
Boh, Ren’Py sarebbe la scelta più ovvia a primo impatto, ma non saprei fino a che punto… ho trovato forse qualche risorsa apposta per i giochi di #carte, ma veramente poca roba gratuita e libera, e in ogni caso dovrei comunque implementare la logica per molte cose, oltre che tutto o quasi da zero per giochi non di carte. Solo questo renpy/cardgame da vedere meglio, e qualche video su YouTube, per il resto sto inguaiata. Sarà che era tardi 2 ore fa, ma non sono riuscita al momento a fare molto di più di visualizzare 2 carte a schermo, quindi non so come vorrei arrivare ad una prima milestone di implementare il blackjack. Quasi quasi mi torna la voglia di #programmare per il NES, anche perché i miei disegni non-pixel-art farebbero molto cagare… 💩️
Comunque il tarlo mi è tornato perché ho visto uno #shitpost su un altro canale Telegram che diceva cose totalmente verissime e non portate all’assurdo per far ridere. Ciò mi ha ispirata a creare questo TiktOctt, dove con Luigi gioco e nel frattempo a schermo illustro i falsi miti sul #giocare… mi raccomando, prendete tutto per oro colato!https://octospacc.altervista.org/2024/05/17/azzardo/
