There are two parties in every gambling transaction.

What about the responsibility of the house to detect ordinary people gambling way over their means?

To further this point a bit, there is a difference between "gambling above their means yet within the realm of possibility", and "gambling so far above their means that clearly no one is using common sense". Gambling 100x your annual income feels like it belongs in the second category.

Many other industries have KYC regulations (of some kind), but it seems like the gambling industry is excluded.
