Casinos aren’t just offering entertainment — they’re building real-time systems designed to keep people gambling long after they want to stop.

In this episode, attorney Matthew Litt breaks down the predatory tactics used by VIP hosts, “free bets,” deposit matches, and targeted inducements that keep addicted gamblers hooked. We talk about how the definition of a “whale” has changed, why responsible gambling messaging fails, how VIP hosts fuel addiction in real time, and what it takes to build a legal case against a casino. Matt shares the inside details of major lawsuits, the evolution of gambling laws, and the truth about why public policy is so far behind the science. If you or someone you love has been impacted by gambling addiction, this conversation will help you understand the industry’s tactics — and why so many people get trapped.
