I started my career working on gambling apps, and it’s one of my red lines now when looking for work.

It’s an evil industry - full of dark patterns. I remember implementing a “cancel withdrawal” feature where essentially: the casino could deposit money in a customers bank account in a day when they request it. They instead choose to hold it in a pending state for a week, and allow them to cancel the withdrawal at any point in that week to immediately play with. Presumably so it didn’t feel as real as money leaving the gamblers bank account.
