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.
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.
