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.
Deflection #Sgweek23
@epicpgc@RangersFC How can this be independent if...
"Funding for the project comes from club sponsor Kindred, whose brands include 32Red and Unibet."

The belief that self-regulating gambling firms want to make gambling less harmful is a myth.Β
Such compliance seriously risks impacting profitability.Β
Easier to be fined for regulatory breaches every so often. #safergambling#sgweek23
Safer #gambling objectives can't be achieved by global profit driven corporations with shareholder accountability.
Lobbying and PR to deflect attention from some of their schemes to extract maximum possible losses from the most vulnerable.
Profits come from harm.
#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.

@SGWeek#sgweek23 is a marketing campaign, used alongside codes of conduct, pledges, commitments and PR to delay regulatory interventions and deflect from regulatory failings around protecting customers from harm. #SGweek23

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

@SGWeek Interested use of the word YOU or YOUR 5 times in this post.
Continually looking to shift onus onto the individual while the industry exploits those at risk for profit.
The #safergambling week message encourages those who may be suffering from addiction to accept full responsibility.
The normalisation of gambling continues by self regulating industry that doesnt care for the harm it causes, nor takes accountability.
Addicted to harm. #SGweek23
Good article explaining the sham of a week where gambling sector mention nothing about their role in harm but instead blame individual.
