Wait wait wait... how are you drawing this assumption? Even as a psychologist, I would never had drawn that conclusion out because someone handed me X,XXX amount of pixels on a video game.

Were they extremely upset when losing? Did they spam PM you with hated texts? Would they sit in the corner writing sad poetry and listening to Alanis Morissette records?

I don't understand. I ran casinos since the beginning, possibly the first / one of the first, but most the people had fun; win or lose. It's just pixels in the end, what people do with them is their choice as long as you aren't violating any rules, so I don't understand how someone who uses a casino in-game has gambling issues in real life, or is ultimately in a state of depression. At that rate, they might as well have a drinking addiction as well. Most the time, they have too much of it to even care about.
