Calling all Nokia & Symbian geniuses: Am I wrong?
Mobiles as it is, are in some sense addictive, and adding the gambling aspect on to that, I think will only cause more problems with gambling addictions. And then, there is the issue of protection for younger people, and even "adults", so they don't end up piling themselves into heaps of debt.
I'm not a fan of gambling, and I'm not a fan of how it has recently become a more fashionable pastime (with the increasing number of sites popping up all over the web, and whatnot); and while yes, it may be a good idea to make money, surely Networks and even Manufacturers should take on a duty to protect their customers.
