This is totally disingenuous. Why else are gambling providers forced to include addiction recovery phone numbers with their ads?
> A ticket to the game is $100+, is that money wasted too?
No, and this is equally as insincere as your first statement. Gambling takes money without offering a fair return in goods or services.

It provides entertainment, same thing tickets to the event provide. A lot cheaper than seeing the game in person too.
If people being sick and not being to control themselves required an intervention phone number in general, we'd run out of 10-digit numbers faster than Elon lasted in the government :)
