Here are two arguments against the position advocated by the Stop Predatory Gambling organization mentioned in ZeeBabar's link.

1. The "Stop Predatory Gambling" website, at https://www.stoppredatorygambling.org/how-we-work/, lists "What We Stand For". The third entry on the list states:

"We believe that a good society depends on the values of honesty, concern for others, mutual trust, self-discipline, sacrifice, and a work ethic that connects effort and reward."

However, they don't seem to value "self-discipline". After all, nobody is forcing the poor to gamble. If their organization truly believes that advertising somehow "forces" the poor to gamble, why don't they finance an ad campaign encouraging the poor to save, rather than gamble? Instead, they take the position that because some people can't gamble responsibly, then no one should be allowed to gamble: isn't this the same argument used to support Prohibition a hundred years ago? Look how well THAT worked.

2. The first entry in their "What We Stand For" list says:

"We believe everyone in America should have a fair opportunity to get ahead and improve their economic standing."

Well, isn't that the reason we are all on this website? By learning about Advantage Play, we are all trying to improve our economic standing. Why shouldn't everyone have the same opportunity?
