A new trend in gambling fraud is the use of artificial intelligence to manipulate users. Gambling apps in South Asia now deploy AI chatbots that interact with players, offering support, tips, and even fake empathy to encourage more betting.
These chatbots simulate human conversation and even suggest “safe” betting strategies. Players feel supported and are more likely to trust the platform.
Experts warn this technology blurs ethical boundaries, especially as these chatbots are often used without users’ knowledge. Consumer protection advocates call for stricter regulations on AI use in gambling-related platforms.
