    With this topic, it is more than understandable that you are looking for a change for good to discourage the betting nature of offers available. Definitely a positive attitude.

    However, this is just a really minor feature of an individual buy-in feature of a game. Gamers mostly make the decision to purchase buy-ins only if they like the game itself and very rarely would anyone would go and search, download and then play in a particular game to buy-in that specific offer to gamble. There is a very distinctive difference in nature from the actual betting or gambling that could involve hundreds or even thousands. The chance of a gamer purchasing a USD $1 (or equivalent in local currency) buy-in to turn into a gambling addict is so minuscule and unreal.

    If you really do want to make a sustainable and impactful change for the good of the society with your effort, maybe directing your effort in taking on the actual gambling companies and/or helping the current gambling addicts would be a lot more useful and long-lasting. To be frank, the real issue is not the insignificant buy-in of a football management game but the influence of betting companies on sports with all the sponsors headlines.
    Winning is a form of art. Consistently winning is a show-hand of skills and luck.

    You are right with your points, yes he is trying to do some good, but try take down those betting companies, or never mind that since they would have good lawyers and you would have to fork out a ton of money for a court case.

    Oh well, that was a bit off topic but besides the point, I am glad there are no more betting offers simply because they were annoying as they popped up every time I logged into the game.

    I do not like betting and less the companies in that business, but as some colleagues in the forum have said quite badly it is very easy for me to avoid it: not to enter those sites or ever bet, That's what I do. It is our states, and the united consumer associations of our countries, etc., that have to ensure that this business does not poison people, as the UK government, that I have read, for example, is going to ban card credits for betting. Individual work here serves little or nothing.

    It would not make any sense, on the other hand, to enter a betting house, perfectly announced as such, and with permission to place bets under the rules set by the state, and as a messiah start telling people they should stop betting because they are going to ruin. Rather it would be stupid, because in this case this people, quite rightly, would tell me that if I don't want to bet I can go out from there, buy me a life and leave them alone.

    Because what seems to be not understood regarding the bets in this game is what I have already mentioned on many occasions: we do not come here to bet, it is a football game. As Max says, I don't see it off-topic, the best thing is the end of those annoying pop-ups my friends. U don't have to thank me, I enjoyed it
