Join True Texas Project – Denton, as we host Cheryl Bean speaking on behalf of Texans Against Gambling. Did you know that Texas is the number one target for the Casino Lobby in America? Do you know what the consequences could be if we allow gambling to be legal in our state? You NEED to hear this important information before our next legislative session. Texans cannot afford to be uneducated on this matter.
— The business model of both online gambling and casino gambling depends existentially on the problem gambler and the addicted gambler. They collect data on how much time users spends on a site or app, how much money they gamble (and lose), and on what type of bets they place on which sports. Likewise, casinos cater to what they refer to as “VIPs,” which is code for gambling addicts and soon-to-be addicts.
— Casinos promise the world but in fact correlate with diminished economic prosperity: slower job growth, dampened sales tax revenues, and slower growth in local gross domestic product. End result: lower living standards and more poverty.
— The societal harms of casinos and other types of commercial gambling: the links between gambling and alcohol and other substance addictions, mental health crises, human trafficking, embezzlement, other crime, child neglect, spousal abuse, suicide, and money laundering.
