Gambling discussion / Re: should gambling be completely banned?
« on: Today at 02:31:55 PM »Well, we cannot deny that there are practices like this out there, casinos pay a lot of money to the authorities so that they continue to operate even though there is a ban from that country. and that's something I think will be everywhere, in countries where gambling is prohibited.They're just preventing something bigger, it seems, because if you want to eliminate it then it's something that's not easy to do.We've heard of cases of underground casinos where people go to gamble secretly in countries and areas where there's a ban or prohibition on gambling, and even the government are aware of these secret underground casinos but decide to keep mute because they benefit from them in one way or the other.
Some facts are even surprising, where the government prohibits gambling in a country, but there are individuals who have power who can directly collaborate with gambling owners. I think things like this are also complicated, because on the one hand the government prohibits it, but on the other hand there are individuals who play and seek personal gain.
This only proves the fact that gambling can't be completely banned, because even if the government places laws that formally bans gambling activities, there'll always be people who will come up with alternative means for them to still gamble, with or without the notice of the government.
I do not mean to offend certain parties, because this is in the context of something that is difficult to achieve, namely that gambling can be banned or completely eliminated from certain countries.
