I’m not pro-gambling but I think Vegas vacations are valid - they’re special occasions where you get a thrill for your money. What’s the difference between a $2000 cruise and a $2000 weekend in Vegas? Both are a waste to me but I see the appeal.
But this is different…it’s very much NOT about Vegas (which is struggling), it’s the apps. “Sports betting” aka gambling was legalized in 2018.
DraftKings and the rest have been fighting regulations since like…2012? And they won. Which is why there’s gambling ads everywhere with very little regulation. It’s why polymarket and kalshi exist.
Regulate these internet gambling companies back to the 2000s and the problem mostly goes away.
