Which operators are out of line when it comes to promoting responsible gambling on social media? A recent study by Michael Savio points a finger, according to an article on x.com. In the study, Savio investigated four online casino operators and found that their social media posts lacked consistent messages promoting responsible gambling practices.

Non-sponsored posts, it seems, bear the brunt of this issue. The American Gaming Association (AGA) has acknowledged that these posts don't need to incorporate responsible gambling verbiage, leaving some leeway for operators to prioritize promotions over responsible gambling messaging.

These operators, on average, post around 237 times each day on social media. That's a significant number of chances to promote responsible gambling, yet statistics suggest that the message isn't getting through.

Savio, known for his thorough coverage of the online casino industry, sheds light on this concerning issue. His study not only calls for better regulation but also encourages operators to reinforce responsible gambling practices more consistently across all platforms. While the specifics of his study remain unclear, these are general observations into why responsible gambling might not always be a priority on social media for some operators.

This study suggests that these operators, who collectively post around 240 times daily on platforms like sports betting and online casino, are missing out on numerous opportunities to promote responsible gambling.
