What exactly is your qualm with them investing in this company?

If you have a problem with gambling, take that up with your legislators. But I wouldn't expect you to have an issue with gambling, since you, ya know... literally earned a living working with the incumbents.

Legal != Ethical

It's perfectly reasonable for people to be upset about things that are legal. In fact, almost every new law originates under those conditions.

My problem is not strictly with this company, I was just surprised to see that yc has not a single mention of ethics/morals/anything around what type of companies they'll invest in. Most big tech companies at a minimum put on a facade that they have ethics.
