why does the online casino industry have such terrible UX compared to literally everything else

fintech apps in SEA work fine. food delivery is fine. even my bank's app got a redesign last year. but gambling platforms genuinely feel frozen in time. popups before you even see the homepage. bonus terms in size 8 font. withdrawal flows that require 4 different steps across 3 separate emails. been down a rabbit hole today looking at various platforms after a coworker mentioned EU9Asia randomly. some are worse than others but none of them feel like the people building them have used their own product once.
