“The goal is early addiction”: leaked 1Win messages reveal an intentional strategy to hook schoolchildren on gambling

Blogger Nikoglay published a correspondence with a 1Win manager discussing the recruitment of an underage audience into gambling.

According to Nikoglay, a manager named Darya wrote that the goal of the cooperation was “not responsible promotion of the product, but maximum involvement of an underage audience and the development of early gambling addiction among them.”

The blogger published a screenshot of the correspondence in which, according to him, the manager outlined the objectives of the cooperation.
