A message that could lead to pathological gambling

The complaint claims that the content of Cinthia Fernández's stories is not only illegal but also highly irresponsible. It asserts that gambling is linked to personal success and creates false expectations about easy money.

This type of message, the organization emphasizes, can encourage the development of addictive behaviors, especially in teenagers and young adults.
