Okay my first post.

To begin don´t take me wrong, I myself like gambling and don´t have a problem with it.

But this thread is not a surprice to me when I reckon that problem and pathological (P&P) gamblers (2-5% of population where casinos exists) acccounts for about 50% of casino revenues. Also to remember is that 10% of the population accounts for 80% of the revenues. Expressed in reverse 90% of the population provides as little as 20% of the revenues. (Grinols&Mustard)
These were numbers of B&M casinos in the US. These are propably quite accurate for online casinos too.

Keeping this in mind its not in the casinos benefit to exclude P&P gamblers. Its quite easy to recognize a P&P gambler and have you ever heard of a casino that has taken the first step?
