The aim of #safergambling #SGweek23 messaging is to instill a sense of blame onto the individual (through constant use of 'YOU').
Then make it appear that the rest of the ordinary public are gambling responsibly.

The belief that self-regulating gambling firms want to make gambling less harmful is a myth.
Such compliance seriously risks impacting profitability.
Easier to be fined for regulatory breaches every so often. #safergambling #sgweek23
#Safergambling - various pledges that look to put the onus fully on the individual.
The lack of adherence to responsible gambling codes of practice that aren't complied with are conveniently not mentioned in any of this industry campaigning.

#SGweek23 is a marketing stunt.
Continued use of the word YOU to place the individual at blame.

We can do this two-gether! 🙏
There's just two days until #SGWeek23 and we need YOU to spread the word to help everyone gamble safer. 👏
