You know the economy is bad when esports teams have gamble sponsors, and it’s starting to become more “normal”
My dad is a gamble addict, and I can tell you that it doesn’t end well
Not for him, and neither for the family
I have friends that gambled all their money away, and haven’t recovered yet (years later)
All of the people that are taking betting sponsors, are indirectly ruining lives of people that they don’t see
I don’t blame anyone for taking a sponsor, especially if it’s out of necessity.
but someone that has a insane legacy, is just sad
I have personally done speed roulette for fun with friends (god knows why i did it)
I woke up every morning without eating breakfast or anything else and I’d spin that shit for hours
For some reason I got banned, and I couldn’t play anymore.
Then randomly a month after when I was bored I tried to deposit money again (couldn’t)
THANK GOD I got somehow blocked, and didn’t look for any alternatives
Not everyone will get that lucky, and not everyone can just stop
This polymarket that is showing up everywhere is gonna remind people about gambling, and that is very bad. Especially for the people that are genuinely trying to quit
Especially with the economy not looking that hot, and inflation is a real thing
People will find alternatives to escape reality, and hope they get rich
Gambling sadly ain’t it
And if you are a gamble addict and you can’t stop it
Send your money to a closed one if you have to, think of any way to make it harder for yourself to gamble. And hopefully it’ll get out of your system.
Not speaking from experience here. I just know from the people around me how BAD it can get
Share this post to spread more awareness. Gambling is VERY scary.
it’ll ruin people. And it has already
I wasn’t even planning to type this much, but hopefully I can spread awareness to people on how bad these sponsors actually are.
Polymarket deleted their tweet because they wanted to stop the backlash they were getting for it.
I won’t let them.
Prediction markets, and polymarket specifically are disgusting sites who only exist because enough people lose money on them that it keeps them running.
The normalization of this website, especially within the League of Legends community, is one of the most alarming things that has happened in recent years.
League creators are getting paid hundreds, if not thousands per quote tweet, as well as 5 figure monthly salaries to promote them on stream and it’s at a point now where this is just accepted.
It shouldn’t be.
Prediction markets, gambling websites, and sports betting sites are willing to shill tens of thousands of dollars to content creators because they know the viewers of said creator will lose infinitely more than they pay for the sponsor.
How can this be okay?
Money, especially in this economy, is hard to come by. But throwing your viewers and the people who support you under the bus because you want to make a few thousand extra every month should inspire criticism, not acceptance.
Fuck Polymarket, and fuck the people who run the account for trying to use mine and my wife’s pregnancy announcement for their own benefit and everyone else’s demise.
