MGM ‘No Duty of Care’ Toward Man Who Gambled $25 Million

I concur with the courts on this one. Any thoughts or opinions??

From the link below:

"...Court upholds that MGM Resorts isn't legally obligated to prevent compulsive gamblers from betting

Plaintiff Sam Antar lost nearly $25 million on MGM platforms

Lawsuit claimed MGM violated the Consumer Fraud Act by offering bonuses despite his addiction

A New Jersey federal appeals court has upheld a lower court ruling that MGM Resorts – and US casino operators in general – have no duty of care toward compulsive gamblers...."

Yes I also agree, not on ounce of liability on the casino's part IMO. There are enough warnings up in all casinos about 'over' gambling and self banning options, etc.

What about people over spending and bankrupting themselves with mortgages they simply can't afford, businesses they can't run properly, and all other types of spending that leads millions upon millions to failure and their own personal disasters? Never seen a poster up in a bank saying, "Be careful about over spending, over investing or applying for mortgages you might default on one day".
