One of the great laws of life is,"You can't play tennis alone."
You can't rob anyone alone either, you need another person.
Some people like to equate findom as any other kind of kink, like impact play or bondage. To each his own is the motto. This is a little bit like saying there's no difference between bridge, chess, tennis, volleyball, and gambling. They're all games.
A casino owner is not engaged in fair play. He holds the advantage, and he knows how to manipulate his clientele. A friend is happy to see another play tennis, not so happy to see him frequent a casino.
That all comes down to your view of morality:
Do you believe that people have the inherent right to do things to their own detriment just because they want to do it?
Or do you believe that society has the right to forcefully prohibit people from doing anything that society considers to be to that person's own detriment, regardless of whether or not the person wants to do it or not?
If you believe in the first, then neither the casino having an unfair advantage, nor the findomme providing an unequal/unfair transaction should be of issue to you, so long as the person engaging in gambling or who gives money to findommes honestly wants to do so without coercion.
If you believe the second, your issue isn't with findommes per say, but with the idea that engaging in findomme transactions is to the detriment of the sub, and therefore should be prohibited.
It basically all comes down to: "do you believe that people should have the freedom to make their own mistakes, or not?"
