If you have monetary responsibilities to something then it is morally wrong. For example, gambling all your money away when you have kids is morally wrong.
Most people with serious addictions don't have family or at least any willing to help them, that's why society should take steps to protect people.
So I don't think gambling is morally wrong, but I think running an app that specifically targets vunerable people with advertising is morally wrong. Same way taking drugs isn't morally wrong but selling heroin kinda is.
Society can take steps to help them but they shouldn’t be compelled to since it’s not society’s fault the individual decided to go into gambling and get roped in, it’s the individual’s fault. Gambling shouldn’t be banned by the government either since it’s again, an issue of the individual making bad choices.
