It is wrong of the big names in poker to have gambling on our poker sites.

You can generally disable these side games through the software options. If that fails, there's always self control?

they are kind of annoying i guess. I just ignore them, haven't really been a bother.

Have you ever heard the phrase?---
Lead us not into temptation.
Well the sites are here to make money and one of those ways is to---
Lead you into temptation
If you do not have any self control then you better throw your computer out the window before you go broke.
Do not blame the sites for your lack of self discipline.

These poker sights make enough money as it is, and do not need to add temptation to our beautiful game.
People on a tilt will be tempted by the sort of entrapment they offer on our desktop.
I am not even a gambler, but often in boredom I have a look, because it is there. There is no need to spoil our game by adding garbage,

rant over.

It is wrong for supermarkets to offer bad food on their shelves. By bad food I am referring to cakes and chocolate, I have noticed that most sites now offer on our shelves, sugar, a temptation that I keep falling fall. Again ruining my gym progress so far on cake.
These supermarkets make enough money as it is, and I do not need to add temptation to my beautiful salads.
People in a bad mood will be tempted by the sort of entrapment they offer on our shelves.
I do not even have a sweet tooth, but often in boredom I have a nibble, because it is there. There is no need to spoil our health by selling garbage.

Have some self-control ffs. Do you not realise that people are attracted to sites by casino games and then potentially play poker, rather than the other way around?

The sport betting sites are good for us imo. Fish come from sport betting all the time to play poker. I've seen a bunch of threads from Google from people doing sports betting, then complain the poker game is rigged lol. I definitely want these guys at my tables.

I personally don't play anything but poker tho, and just ignore or turn off the side games. So it's only a bonus for me

Big sites win just as much if not more from the gambling section. It helps us too, with them being able to give away bigger poker bonuses . It is a win, if you are able to stay away from betting.
