KasKasan Buddies Declares: “There Is No Such Thing as Responsible Gambling”

  KasKasan Buddies (KKB), the Philippines' #1 personal finance community with over 2 million members across platforms, has taken a firm public stand against the “responsible gambling” language increasingly used by online betting and casino apps, warning that no such label can make a habit built on risking money Filipinos cannot afford to lose any safer. “We don't do 'responsible gambling.'
