I am not against gambling. I enjoy it myself on occasion, and I would not ban it. But still idea of gambling for money without chance to win money back... That just feels next step exploitation.

I do understand the dopamine process of demo games on casino sites, but still. Allowing people to pay for that...

From my understanding, the part that triggers the addiction is the possibility of winning money, so removing that seems to remove entirely the incentive.
