I am actually part of those percentages. I will not give any numbers, but I can tell you I have made a lot of money in the businesses I have been in, and I don’t have a whole lot to show for it. I hit the fantasy five here in Fl back in 97 and I think it was the worst thing that ever happened to me lol. Things are looking up for me as of lately, and I have come to the point where I know it will be the death of me if I can’t nip it in the bud. I don’t want to be that guy 20 years down the road who made several million and doesn’t have a pot to piss in. From an ethical point of view, I don’t blame the other webmasters that have gotten me as a player. They don’t make me do what I do and I am not going to take the high ground in this business while others ride it all the way to the bank. The one thing I will do is elaborate on my gamblers anonymous section and make it more prominent when I do my next update. But gamblers are gamblers and they will find a way to gamble regardless if you point them in the right direction or another affiliate does so you would just be punishing yourself if you took the high road. I think it is good that your concerned about these things, but I feel ultimately it is up to the casinos themselves to be able to spot a problem gambler, although I wouldn’t expect too much. As a matter of fact Shark, a well respected casino continued to market to me after I specifically requested for them to close my account as I have a problem and I even had several emails from the manager stating it was infact closed, but it never was and they continued to send me offers to keep me playing. That opened my eyes that even a few of the most respected casinos will stop at nothing to earn a buck. Ultimately it is up to the problem gambler to make changes in his/her life, and I don’t see anything wrong with doing what we do.
