Actually, based on the level gambling is going these days, on my own opinion, it should be banned. Reason being is, Student in college are no longer focus in studying because of gambling. Children below 18 years, under age are involve in gambling, and it's lead to them, stealing their parents money for gambling. It has disintegrate families and relationships in the society, so to me the disadvantage of gambling in the society is more than the advantage it gives to the society,based on that,it should be banned that's my opinion.

That's your opinion but you have to remember minors are not allowed to gamble, online or offline, on offline there are laws that prohibit establishments from doing that, on online casinos they ask for KYC to check your age and eligibility.
Its the job or responsibility of the parents to check if their kids are involved in gambling it's not the platform's job, they promote themselves as an entertainment portal it's your responsibility to treat it that way.
Casinos are a big help to the government through their taxes, especially the offline casinos, it also generate employment and create businesses around them.

Have you considered how clubs makes money or how players (Footballers) made their money?
Now let me brief you although this might not be the real purpose but, You should the know the amount of people today that are gambling periodically sustaining their lives through gambling. Gambling are not for little babies, rather there are some restrictions that has been set for underage gamblers, which they must provide their kyc details to determine of they are underage or not.
Along the line it's bold and crystal clear that gambling is on for 18+ meaning if you are not up-to that certain age, you are not allowed to gamble therefore. As a student or a gambler they should gamble responsibly otherwise whatever that gets to you at the cause of gambling is at your own risk. That is people shouldn't gamble for profits rather gamble for fun at the process having fun one can stake with little amount he feels like sparing for the time being.
You need to know the importance of gambling in our lives today, gambling is another thing that is sustaining the society today for those who applied responsible gambling techniques.

Nobody can actually ban gambling...because even if the government will enforce a law like that, gambling will still persist to exist underground resulting into more problems and with the government losing revenues. What is the compromised thing to do is to strictly regulate gambling so that it will not be attracting students and young people to this addictive habit. the government must have a regulatory framework how the gambling industry should be conducting business and each operator must make sure that only people of legal age can gamble so no minors and definitely no students. KYC should be the norm here just like what CEX are doing as required by the government. Vices like gambling, cigarette and alcohol should be regulated but not banned not unless, of course, if we are all angels and not anymore under the control and influence of human nature. Remember this fact: if we can never eradicate illegal drugs then we can never stop gambling of all types.

As far as I know, gambling places can only be prohibited in several countries that have regulations regarding gambling businesses. There are 30 countries that strictly prohibit gambling in their countries and there are also several countries that provide permits for gambling businesses which you can find in Las Vegas, Nevada. , United States, Atlantic City, New Jersey, Bahamas, Puerto Rico, Mauritius, Seychelles and Macau (Correct Me If I'm Wrong). So, if you already have children and in your country there are no prohibitions on gambling, what you can do is set limits on the use of gambling sites via smartphone or the network used and be given advice about the dangers of gambling and the benefits of gambling which are only momentary.

Spoken my mind. There are things even with government opposing still go on in the society. Banning an activity as can be seen with hard drugs doesn't stop people from using it but rather make it harder to publicize and buy it which in turn increases their price and thus make many go into stealing.
Banning might work more better with drug especially with good regulation in the midst but wouldn't in the case of gambling but instead cause chaos. If banned, individuals especially those that do it for the thrill will engage in it more and there wouldn't be a relatively fair gambling system. If you cheated there's nothing body you can really run to.
Imo the highest that can be done is mitigate it's adoption. People should be educated and shown the dangers of gambling, Given alternatives to gambling and shown gambling ain't the only way to riches

I don't support the notion that gambling should be banned. Gambling is a personal thing which means you cannot take the loss of some gamblers and then generalize that gambling is completely bad and should be banned. Whether we agree or not, few people are making extra money through gambling and it would be unfair to ban gambling and deny such individuals the extra money they make.
In addition, bookies generate employment for people. In a betting shop, you find people working and being paid. Banning gambling simply means taking jobs away from these people. For instance, the betting shop in my neighborhood has ten workers so imagine the total number of workers that will be displaced if gambling is banned.
Furthermore, the gambling industry pays taxes to the government where it operates and these taxes are used to provide infrastructures that will make life easy for citizens.
With the above, banning gambling activities will be challenging.
-
Majority will agree that the disadvantage is more damaging than the benefit of gambling.
The industry how ever is just too huge that even government officials and law makers may not be able to stop thia industry from paying everyone.
-
It will never be possible to completely destroy any addiction or bad addiction from the society or from the country especially if you think that you can eradicate alcohol or cigarette addiction from the society forever. Changes will have to be made which will not be possible at all. Similarly, you cannot completely ban gambling because in this case you will be banned by the societyAll the systems of the country have to be changed and how you change them you cannot change once in two years but you have to change these systems for hundreds of years. Moreover, the government never stops the prohibited things, but despite the huge profits, the government does not recognize all these prohibited things and does not eliminate them at all.
-

Not true. It is possible to ban gambling. The only reason why most countries don't want to ban it is simply because the government is benefiting from the industry. Remember whatever benefits the government is never seen as a problem. This is why gambling may not be banned.
Some countries have banned gambling activities and in some states in the United States, gambling is prohibited. The fact that some jurisdictions have banned gambling shows that it is very possible to end gambling activity.
Outside taxes paid, some top government functionaries are also given bribes to make sure they protect the gambling industry in their country. This is why when the issue is up for deliberation in the assembly, it is difficult to get everyone to stand against gambling.

Gambling has rules and approaches and if a gambler does not follow the rules or the right approach, then that's when you put yourself at risk and then experience the disadvantages of gambling. Those that think that gambling is bad and the disadvantages is more damaging are actually those that do not really know how to go about gambling and then when they feel the negative impact of their actions they blame it on gambling meanwhile the choices that led to the loss were entirely theirs.
-
OP, you have touched such a wide topic to discuss, with such a minor reason that calls for action. Kids still money for gambling, students dont focus because they gamble, and that is why gambling should be banned for everyone. Then everything that kids steal money for and everything students spend money on except study must be banned. Correct? That is a complete nonsense. Then everything must be banned. No one would ever ban gambling or anything for such a minor reason, because of such a little group of people using gambling wrong.

This is one of the many problems that actually exist in the student environment. Now in reality gambling is not intended for minors or is prohibited for them.
But even if it is banned, I think gambling will always have a place. Because now it is a fact that in some countries gambling is prohibited, but there is also a very large number of people interested in it. You are right, this is a comprehensive discussion when it comes to children and only gambling.
-
I don't think that could be possible, gambling is not met for under age, that is why in most gambling centers you see 18+ only, and online the KYC verification enables them to detect your ate. Doe in these days under age tend to gamble hidden, but that shouldn't mean that gambling should be banned.
Gamble moderately and wisely...

Many gambling website not required with KYC and easily for children under 18 years old active on gambling site, I think is not good impact for the future if many children have active in gambling. To suspend gambling site seems little difficult with some countries have make gambling as legal site and become their main taxes, its better stop and getting regulation for verifying document ID first how to protect children not active yet in gambling website.
Gambling have progress well currently and every day launching many new site, for stopping or suspending its seems little difficult and depend each countries regulation gambling is allow or not.
-
Where did you see the amount of gambling in here? Do you think that you have already reached this kind of level when it comes to gambling? It's really sad if the kids today are getting addicted to gambling below the legal age. There should be stricter laws or regulations for gambling. I don't think banning it would help in general.
-
~
that's my opinion.
In most of the casinos, they are banning people who are under 18 years from gambling and that includes students. Excluding casinos, there are still ways for a student to gamble still, but you can't remove the fact that when a student tried gambling, and won on it, he will do it again, and again, and again, and take note, it isn't on a casino.
Gamblers will gamble whether it's a student, a normal people living on streets or whoever they are. Don't pinpoint students, and come saying that gambling should be banned. Students aren't the only one who's gambling here. Yes, gambling has given many problems toward the students, and not only for them, but on other people as well, but I don't think that it will be enough for gambling to be banned.
Anyway, can you tell OP which casinos are allowing people under 18 years to gamble on their establishment?

You have to understand that gambling is not for everyone. Gambling must follow certain rules but there are many people who join gambling without any knowledge and lose money at some point they try to blame gambling. A gambler cannot be tempted to gamble if he does not gamble. The gambler gambles on himself and it is foolish to blame the gambler for the fact that he loses money as a result of his uncontrolled gambling. One should not impose one's mistakes on others. Gambling is a focal point of entertainment for many people who are drawn to gambling after their busy day-to-day lives.
-
Gambling is very risky, many people losing his all asset by gambling.I think gambling should be completely band, but it also true that it is not possible at this moment. many people winning and earning huge money from gambling, and many people losing his total asset from gambling. So i think it should be banned. But we saw naw a days gambling being popular day by day. So i think if it not possible to banned we can restricted it for children and un adult people.
-
There is no point in a complete ban on gambling - people will still play, even if they go underground. The risks will increase greatly - underground casinos may pay out winnings, or may not - and no one can prevent them from doing so, because there will be no laws that casinos will have to comply with

You are wrong. If gambling is banned in a country, casinos cannot operate. Casinos are not above a country's law. They operate at the mercy of the country. Those who will still continue to play, can only play online and this can only be made possible by the use of a VPN but if caught such gamblers would face the penalty.

How can you ban gambling, it is almost from high level rich people play this gambling. You can never stop it. It is widespread, but you can boycott it yourself. Because if one indulges in gambling at this age while studying at the student age, that person will surely become bad. So he needs to retire from gambling for parents to be careful about how their children interact with them. I think it is definitely possible to bring back that student if we govern from different aspects

You have a point, gambling if not regulated could ruin ones life as you said but in some countries where gambling generate revenues to fund government projects, it is hard to stop or ban. Maybe a regulation as to who can gamble should be in place to prevent those who are not suitable from gambling from doing this activity.
-
I think the best option for gambling is to be regulated In terms of the risk reward ratio for example if the potential gain from gambling is small but the potential Loss is large the Risk reward ratio would be considered unfavorable, thus it is important to understand before starting gambling.
Another way is management risk for setting limit on how much money you're willing to spend and sticking to budget.
Do you think gambling is a way of making money or entertainment?

Those who will still continue to play, can only play online and this can only be made possible by the use of a VPN but if caught such gamblers would face the penalty.
If gambling is banned in a country, individuals can always gamble between each other. And I think that is what students do (as this topic is about students gambling instead of studying). It isnt complicated to go online and order playing cards and chips. If such students get caught, they can always say they do it for fun, and nobody could do anything about it.
But I wonder why OP think that students arent allowed to do whatever they want at their free time. If he thinks that students must only study-eat-sleep-repeat then he is totally wrong.

I agree with you. Outside the fact that the government benefits from gambling activities, most top politicians and businessmen see gambling as an activity for fun so banning gambling would be taking away an activity that brings fun and pleasure to this set of people and owing to the fact that this set of people are at the corridor of power, they will not allow gambling to be banned.
Now, it is not about the ills gambling brings to the majority but rather the excitement the politicians and businessmen get. And their interest is always what matters to them.

The correct action to be taken is to give stricter regulation when it comes to gambling. Give a heavier penalty or punishment to those who will disobey this restriction. The only reason why there are still underage who can get involved in gambling is because they can manage to gamble for different reasons. This also includes some adults who encourage youngsters to gamble.
Gambling cannot be banned simply because it is one of the huge tax contributions. Just like in vices that can cause different diseases that sometimes cause more than that, they don't implement to ban because it is the source of the funds that they use for the development of the country.

Gambling was not invented for students in college, it is a game for matured people, and why would it be banned because some underage youths are gambling which is against the casino, and the government rules. Gambling is used for fun, and a means of entertainment. It is also used to ease one from stress, so I don't see any reason why it should be banned. Don't blame gamble, but blame the people that are gambling irresponsible.

That's your opinion but you have to remember minors are not allowed to gamble, online or offline, on offline there are laws that prohibit establishments from doing that, on online casinos they ask for KYC to check your age and eligibility.
Its the job or responsibility of the parents to check if their kids are involved in gambling it's not the platform's job, they promote themselves as an entertainment portal it's your responsibility to treat it that way.
Casinos are a big help to the government through their taxes, especially the offline casinos, it also generate employment and create businesses around them.
Totally agree.
Plus, simply closing all gambling companies and enforcing a total ban neglects the broader opportunity for societal and personal development.
It overlooks the importance of fostering responsibility, intelligence, and the ability to make informed decisions in a complex world. A more nuanced approach that focuses on education, regulation, and personal development can address the concerns associated with gambling while also respecting individual freedom and promoting societal growth.

Do you think the government will destroy its source of income that the government will never do. The government will never band its source of income especially from cigarettes, tobacco, alcohol etc. the government gets huge revenue which it will never want to waste such a revenue sector. Also, gambling is a major source of revenue for the government, so even if the government wants to, it does not outright ban gambling. However, even if the government declares gambling as a ban, it cannot ban gambling from the people because even if it bans gambling, people can enter online gambling despite the ban because the government has no control system in this regard. However, if the government wants to ban offline gambling, it can enact legislation and take various steps to implement it.

Let's put it this way, so because a lot children loves ice cream but some particular ones, when they drink it, they developed some stomach pain or maybe running stomach and as a result of that, ice cream should be ban? That's not how regulation works, for something to be ban there must be a big effect and it must be something that is affecting a lot of people. Gambling on the other hand is just few, the addiction is there but I'm not sure if they affect health of people rather its people love for money that is making them addicted. Though, there are places where gambling is not allow and its banned.

Yes you are right I agree that government makes lot of money from things like cigarettes alcohol and gambling. But these things can be bad for people health and society. Even though it is hard to stop these industries completely there are ways to control them to make them less harmful. Rules higher taxes and health campaigns can help reduce how much people use these products. It is really important for government to care more about people health than making money in future.
And one is the best thing if government will do, they should restrict these things for under 18 youngsters this will be good for healthy society.

I find the OP's arguments pretty trashy to be honest. There is no such apocalyptic scenario that he is painting because of gambling in our societies. Those are punctual cases, sometimes very drastic, which are far from the norm. On the other hand, a prohibition would not put an end to gambling, it would make it underground, dependent on criminals and the states would not collect taxes.
So my answer is no.

Do you think that after banning it, those users who are students and underage addicted to it won't play it or can't play it? If then you are in wrong world body. I live in a country where gambling is ban any kind of casino related thing if notice in one person he will may punishment under the law. And for this reason in my country many users are already going to jail.
But the funny thing is after doing those than and punishment it won't working the underages people who are addicted on it there are playing gambling even it has been banning my country I think in this case her family should taken some steps if he is still his parents money then definitely the parents should ask him and give him good suggestion. And for the student I will say if you don't income or if you don't have fund what you can afford to lose then don't play or don't enter in gambling.

I agree with your perspective. Closing casinos won’t eradicate gambling, it’ll just push it into the shadows, away from regulatory oversight. History has shown that prohibition typically gives rise to illegal activity, where the risks are even greater and the protective measures and responsible gaming programs are non-existent. It’s more practical to regulate and monitor gambling to prevent and address issues effectively.

Also agree that closing gambling institution won't eradicate gambling itself. One example here here in our country when the government decided to banned "online cockbetting" this only led to the rise of unregulated and illegal websites that offer "online cockbetting" so there, the problem was not solve.

"Gambling has rules and approaches and if a gambler does not follow the rules or the right approach, then that's when you put yourself at risk and then experience the disadvantages of gambling.
is there any rules in gambling? Please can you list the rules in gambling,so that one can avoid problem gambling.

When you gamble, you gamble at your own risk. Gambling should not be banned on the grounds that school students or college students or adult students may engage in gambling. Every family should manage their children. A minor child can indulge in this gambling addiction if there is no family restriction. Even though underage boys and girls are gambling regularly, you can't really blame the gambling establishment because the gambling establishment has definitely asked minors to refrain from opening accounts. Since the instructions are given in advance, we have to open the account at our own risk and gamble at our own risk.
-

Gamble moderately and wisely...
actually most gambling center even when you see 18+ and above it does not work, they are nobody to enforce it because most gambling center I go to,you see children below 18 years gambling, and the problem is that you see the gambling attendance who work in the gambling center still accept money from children below 18 years and place bet for them which is bad. So that 18+ above has not worked.

Well this depends on how rampant gambling is in your locality or country. If it distracts students and even minors then I think it should be depending on the local gambling law. Due to technological advancements access to gambling platforms by minors is inevitable and is also quite alarming.

Gambling has become embedded in the human system and I doubt that it can be stopped or ban entirely because there are so many forms in which it can be played and enjoyed. Before now I believe people were still gambling even without the casino being present. Like you said there are so many ways that can people can actually get to it with their gambling ethics and alot of these practice are still functional now even as casino and games shop are everywhere.

I don't agree with you about banning gambling sites and all forms of gambling because gambling has been around for thousands of years, has accompanied human civilization, the more gambling is banned, the greater the possibility of illegal gambling becoming widespread
To reduce the impact of gambling addiction, it is very important for people to choose their social relationships, don't let their youth be damaged just because of real irresponsible gambling

And usually though, countries that ban gambling are either very religious countries like in the Middle East or there are political reasons why they don't want gambling, like they want to curb the problems that might arises because of their population falling into it. They think that there will be crimes, which is true to some extend as there are gamblers who will steal or borrow money and then they don't pay. Or gamblers really losing everything, went into a downward spiral and then committed suicide. And then the obvious reasons, most countries in the Middle East are Muslim and majority of them are very strict are far as their laws. So no gambling and drinking alcohol. But for countries that see the benefits of gambling, they will be gambling houses and casinos around and government making money from taxes or one of their biggest contributors are casinos themselves.

Yeah, banning gambling varies from every countries as like you said that mostly Muslim countries ban gambling because of religious beliefs while in other countries like ours, it generate revenues that fund government projects so banning is unlikely.

Complete ban on gambling is a tricky thing as it's not always a straight-forward thing to determine what is or isn't gambling.
Best example could be poker. In many countries it would fall under definition of gambling, whereas in others, it's considered to be a skill game.
Or even things like UK's premium bonds, where instead of fixed interest every bond is a lottery ticket, where you could potentially win a lot of money, but per statistical chances, the expected win is in line with the "normal" bonds, and you don't really lose the amount deposited.

Well, first of all, no one under the age of 18 should play, this is no reason for them to Ban the game, I see it as something very normal that games of chance survive in any country, what happens is that sometimes the fact that menroes play in physical casinos because that is something like complicity between those who let in or the Casino itself, but I consider that for this there are some things that are very given that the authorities can be called, something must be Done, also to protect the minor, that is something that also affects the parents or representatives of those minors who play, but if they have dissatisfaction for that, it must be the Parents for not having supervision of those who are there in the activities of the game of chance, for Therefore, it Cannot be invented to make the casinos play minors, at least in my country the parents of the menroes are punished for their faults.

Agree, currently many gambling sites have given warnings when users first enter their site, usually there is information that their site can only be used by those aged 18 years or more, but many people underestimate that, so in the end it makes people The parents did not know that their child had opened an online gambling site without their knowledge. Maybe if I were their parent I would limit the sites that can be set on the smartphone they use. It won't be easy to do this, but as long as we continue to provide good education to children about the dangers of gambling, I'm sure they will understand it.

The problem is when they break the rules because when that type of thing happens we are people who should not allow it, because it lends itself to being able to do inappropriate things, with respect to age abuse it will always be a problem if they do not follow the rules , it is a problem because it lends itself to many establishments closing, and it is common for that to happen because whenever the authorities discover it they have no compassion, at least that is the case where I live, of course it also lends itself to finding excuses and collect, there are many times that they let it happen if the casino pays the authorities, that always happens to prevent the casino from reaching greater consequences, they settle it with money, I imagine it is like that everywhere.
This happens a lot in physical casinos, they always look for a way that things of this style are never known.

Actually, based on the level gambling is going these days, on my own opinion, it should be banned. Reason being is, Student in college are no longer focus in studying because of gambling.
Gambling cannot be blamed as the only reason why there is a decline in the focus of students on their studies. There are many distractions these days on the Internet and not just gambling. I think the biggest distractions are from social media.
It has disintegrate families and relationships in the society, so to me the disadvantage of gambling in the society is more than the advantage it gives to the society,based on that,it should be banned that's my opinion.
There are still many positive stories about gambling, and other gamblers who gamble are gambling responsibly and for fun. Gambling should not be banned, but rather the government can invest in promoting responsible gambling and prevention of underaged gambling.

It has disintegrate families and relationships in the society, so to me the disadvantage of gambling in the society is more than the advantage it gives to the society,based on that,it should be banned that's my opinion.
It seems that the proportion of people addicted to gambling is actually much lower than those who gamble for fun. Like with any addiction, while there are certainly concerning cases, they represent a relatively small percentage of the overall gambling population. This perspective is important to maintain, as it helps differentiate between recreational gamblers and those who might need support for gambling addiction.

If gambling was a threat like it is really described in media, then it will be banned for a long time ago. People on the government level arent that dumb. I think that problem of gambling addiction exist, but it is not as huge as described. Banning gambling only because 1 our of 10000 gamblers isnt able to control himself? That is just statistical error. Look on how refreshment drinks with its load of sugar harm society. They are much bigger threat but nobody seems to ban it.
-
OP, can you please explain these two things to me?
Student in college are no longer focus in studying because of gambling. Children below 18 years, under age are involve in gambling, and it's lead to them, stealing their parents money for gambling. It has disintegrate families and relationships in the society, so to me the disadvantage of gambling in the society is more than the advantage it gives to the society,based on that,it should be banned that's my opinion.
vs
Base on the current unemployment in Nigeria the youth have taken gambling as part of a business or a work that can provide for their need, though I have a negative perspective concerning betting but betting has been of a help to Nigerian youth based on the high rate of unemployment because it has helped them to provide their daily needs, and it has help to mitigate crime rate in the country, research has help us to know, that betting company have helped Nigerian youth to a enlarge extend. To me in my country gambling as helped the youth.
Can you actually make your mind up or do you have a quota on these that you absolutely need to post every single week?
One time gambling is great, then it's bad, then same same arguments used both way again get mashed together and we have two more topics, one about how great it is and then how bad it is, all with no ending in sight!
This will be a neverending story that will not even need debating since you're providing arguments against your own idea!

Gambling is a crime in Muslim countries and punishable by this crime in major Muslim countries. Gambling is permitted in most countries outside of Muslim-majority countries. Except for some developing and some poor countries, there are countries that have high education levels and strong economic status, but they try to strengthen their economic status through gambling. When gambling is allowed in a country, various companies will pay the government heavily to operate their sites in that country, which will contribute to the government's revenue collection.

Ones opinion can not hold the opinion of others to a standstill just because some certain group of persons fail to hid to some principles governing the operation or running of some certain functions. OP, I do not think it is possible or feasible to place a ban on gambling as this is really conducive. Do you know that in as much as gambling is concerned, the government also benefits from it in the sense that they generate revenue from it. Looking at it this way do you think that the government would be quick to out a ban on gambling?
However, gambling is a choice and no law forces anyone to a compulsory gambling. One is free to do so if they feel like and moreover the age limit for gambling is clearly stated for anyone who wants to gamble to see it for themselves.
If it is as a case of students being addicted to gambling, it is their choice to choose what to do with their lives. I see no reason why a student who should be studying and be focused on their academics be gambling to the point of being addicted. This shows how irresponsible that student is to have gone that far of becoming an irresponsible gambler.
So therefore, gambling is not a compulsory thing and the idea of gambling is a personal decision if one should gamble or not.
-
That is true. Proposing to ban whole industry only because group of individuals faced troubles due to their irresponsible behavior is wrong. Just because students spend free time gambling, instead of studying, and some of them get addicted, does not mean only students gamble and it is the solution to force them to study. Ban gambling and students would do something else in their free time. Then what, ban that other activity also? Then another and so on?

Although gambling is illegal in Muslim countries, But gradually the government's attitude towards gambling is positive. Because Muslim countries are also trying to keep pace with the world. Saudi Arabia is one of the countries of the Muslim world. The governments of the countries that have started dreaming about football and trying to move forward, just like other expensive clubs. They are also spending more money than others. Moreover, the Saudis invested a lot of money in the Premier League. This means that the next decade is going to see a bigger rise in the gambling industry in the world.

Exactly. And one more thing is that governments earn huge taxes from gambling aside from cigarrettes and liquors. This is I think based on personal choice since we are already old enough for that thing then it's always our decision to take part in gambling and governments don't care how you treat gambling yourself. You jump into it then you should be responsible to jump out from it if something bad is happening like addiction. Though governments should implement a much more strict regulations into it so minors won't be jumping in as well.
-
I did not even thought and wanted to include taxes from gambling here. If we suggest to ban everything, where individuals fail and spoil their lives, then we would not have anything. It is similar to banning everything simply because. If we think about this situation more wide, isnt individuals have right for freedom; for freedom but limitation with laws and criminal code. And from the other hand, studying isnt obligatory. You cant force a person to study. Then if this isnt right thing to do, then why prohibit that person to gamble?

The rules are clear that gambling is not permitted or prohibited for someone under age, but in reality the more it is prohibited, the more it will arouse the person's curiosity.
We cannot deny that the gambling industry is very large and the numbers are fantastic. So they will always have their own way to maintain this gambling business. Moreover, we never know, even though some countries prohibit gambling, can we believe that there is no one who is influential in the government who doesn't enjoy the money from gambling?
-

I guess it depends on the country. But I find it hard to believe that such a thing happens in my country, not necessarily because the government is clean, but because other avenues are way more profitable if they're looking to blackmail some business. Not to mention most people in my country are probably gambling on overseas platforms anyway, and even if there are some online casinos operated inside the country, the police will definitely close them down for PR. I never heard of a casino that has operated for years without facing any trouble here. But who knows, maybe some are just too hidden for me to tell whether they bribe the government.
-
My personal opinion is that gambling should just be controlled. Especially there are examples like with fairspin, where sometimes you can even make stable money
-
I am against complete banning of gambling and anything else, because this is not the way to stop people from doing what they want to do.
Governments are the ones who are responsible for making any bans and we know they support gambling but only if they fully control it >:(
You can ban alcohol and drugs that cause addiction but people will find a way to use and abuse them.
-
My personal opinion is that gambling should just be controlled. Especially there are examples like with fairspin, where sometimes you can even make stable money
Self-control is the main requirement in gambling. Sometimes, self-control in gambling is difficult to control, especially if you have won, at the beginning they will be tempted to get bigger profits without realizing that they have lost a lot.
-
What you have mentioned is not a problem of a casino or gambling itself. It's the lack of the parents' supervision of their child doing things like gambling. I live in a place where gambling inevitable even for grade schools but because i was disciplined enough i never got a problem to it or even gambling at early age, well even at my college days. I always do things that will not bother especially in moral ways. But now that i'm adult, don't expect doing the same but with still moderation.
Also, businessman and governments love gambling, it provides both money, entertainment and tax.
-
My personal opinion is that gambling should just be controlled. Especially there are examples like with fairspin, where sometimes you can even make stable money
If you have problem with gambling then only for your problem but gambling will not be banned all over the world. If other gamblers can gamble responsibly and in control, why can't you gamble responsibly? We must be responsible when it comes to gambling and we must ensure that gambling does not control us. If we are excessively tempted to gamble and if we have no control over gambling, we must assume that we are addicted to gambling. If a gambler gets addicted to gambling then it is not a good news for him. A gambler must have control and then gamble and if he becomes addicted to gambling then he will lose a lot by gambling.
-
Gambling is risky for all. Some times it makes a man addicted. So i think gambling should be banned but it never will happen. So my advice it should be control, Student or children shouldn’t involve in gambling.
If we able to control and we can keep the children away fron gambling then it could be continue. Otherwise it will creat risk for our new generation.

Gambling is the oldest game so it can't be banned if some countries still legalize it, unless you ban it for yourself then it doesn't matter especially casinos now are for business they are growing.
Online casinos are now difficult to stop and easy to access so for children who are minors will easily access it anywhere, almost all children must have a mobile.
Back again to the role of parents, then here must be able to teach and stay away from casinos, if they do not have control then the easy generation will easily enter the casino.

Yes i am agree with you. Acctually gambling Full banned is impossible right now. Because now gambling huge popular worldwide.
And online gambling control is not possible, huge people involved and still involving in gambling. If any country banned gambling no problem people playing it through online using VPN. So it is true that now fully banned gambling is not possible i think.

Even after governments block gambling sites, they are not able to prevent the sites from being used. Moreover, if the user wishes, he can use VPN for gambling on those sites. Moreover, Gambling is now not just any ordinary gambling platform. It is now recognized as an art. Those who have legalized are getting huge amount of revenue through gambling. No one has any power to ban it.

When the government blocks gambling sites then there are VPNs people can access them, but the use of VPNs is mostly not recommended by some casinos if caught then your account will be suspended.
Western countries have never banned gambling unless the country is religious then the government will block any gambling site.
Now we are a little simple minded for gambling because of the huge convenience of online casinos.
Gamble for fun, never seek profit or chase losses.
If gambling has an impact on you, if you can stop slowly if you can't, then you can stop.

You may have expressed your opinion here but in my opinion I can never agree with your opinion. Gambling will never stop and should never stop. Without stopping gambling, all of the issues you've outlined here need to be addressed. School-college boys are participating in gambling In this case strict measures should be taken for school-college boys because they are students why they will participate in gambling. It is completely forbidden to give mobile phones in their hands at this age. Why are you giving them mobile phones? Students will never get addicted to gambling if every family is aware. Gambling should not be declared as evil Gambling should be used primarily as entertainment. The six of us participate for entertainment only We never use this gambling game for promotion outside of entertainment. All problems can be solved if gambling is used as entertainment. Make yourself aware, make your family aware, but of course you can solve your problem, you don't have to stop gambling.
-
Western countries have never banned gambling unless the country is religious then the government will block any gambling site.
Because it's business and it provides tax to governments, simply because of money.
Religious countries like Islam doesn't need that ideology but simply because of morals, beliefs and was thought as haram for so many reasons.

You're right.
Gambling is now part of people's life in the society today and placing a permanent ban on gambling would only mean that people will look for ways to break the rules and still have access to gambling, when people hide to gamble underground, that's when gambling becomes even more dangerous than it was when it was legal.
The issue is quite very complex and if the consequences of banning gambling are truly considered, then it wouldn't be an option at all. Yes gambling can be really addictive, has even caused more harm than good, but placing a ban, rather than sorting for ways to regulate it would have even more implications than the first.
-
What you have mentioned is not a problem of a casino or gambling itself. It's the lack of the parents' supervision of their child doing things like gambling.
That is right. It isnt right to ban everything where a person fails or does in the way it is not supposed to be done. I can offer lots of similar problems and solutions. One person crossed road not at the green light of traffic light - completely ban pedestrians. Someone spilled a drink - ban bottles. And etc.
Also why should students only study all the time? What about free time? I can turn that situation with gambling into other direction. Imagine student needs to pay for his study. He goes to work, as he isnt experienced, get earns low and is have to work on 2 jobs. More work = less time to study. Then I suggest to forbit students to work, "because they dont focus on the study". That is what OPs logic is about...
-

Because it's business and it provides tax to governments, simply because of money.
Religious countries like Islam doesn't need that ideology but simply because of morals, beliefs and was thought as haram for so many reasons.
You're right...
It's more of money and politics thing.
In most countries, gambling is often essentially a very good source that provides tax revenue to the government and that's why the government often feel very reluctant to place a permanent ban on gambling.
If you sit and think about it for a moment, you'll figure out that it's more of an moral quandary, the government benefits more from the vice of their citizens who indulge in gambling activities.

Taxes and government is completely different thing. If we follow logic allowing gambling = state treasury being filled by taxes = more money, then why not allow drugs. By the amount of money involved there, that would be a huge addition to country budget. I think about it in more simple approach. It is not correct to ban everything one person dont likes or have different opinion.
-
Taxes and government is completely different thing.
Without tax collections, government offices won't work, so it's not completely different thing.
If we follow logic allowing gambling = state treasury being filled by taxes = more money, then why not allow drugs.
Do you think its easy to allow illegal drugs? Allowing such things to be legal is not all about tax, it's mainly the health of those people who consume such thing and then the cons of having it on people. Or is it even possible to regulate illegal drugs being legal? I don't think so.
By the amount of money involved there, that would be a huge addition to country budget.
Yeah, and be listed on FATF's money laundering list so foreign investors will avoid that specific country and be only dependent by its borders.
It is not correct to ban everything one person don't likes or have different opinion.
Banning things in any country does not fall from one or two person's ideas only, it consist of lots of decision and voting depends on what kind of government a country has (senate, congress, prime minister, president, etc.) not unless its dictatorship way.
In case of gambling, it's business, jobs, tourism and money. Casinos have one of a kind resorts, hiring lots of staff, and of course tax from the business and from the staffs. Macau is one of the example of this, 50% of its GDP came from gaming/gambling industry.

Maybe a lesson is out there to be learned? Parents need to teach their children about addiction and the dangers of getting too involved in gambling. Show them what can and will happen to most people. The problem isn't gambling itsself, it's people. People are stupid.
Let's think about it like this. We all see the ads on TV telling you the dangers of smoking. You see the surgeon general warning on every pack of cigarettes, but does that stop people from smoking? Nope, millions upon millions of people are stupid enough to light up a smoke 15-30 times a day. Same goes for drugs, people watch morons shooting up heroin and dying daily, but they all think. " that won't happen to me". Are you stupid? It 100% will happen to you, you aren't built any different than the next guy.
Can gambling be bad, of course, but it doesn't need banned. People just need to treat it as entertainment and not life.

Western countries have never banned gambling unless the country is religious then the government will block any gambling site.
Because it's business and it provides tax to governments, simply because of money.
Religious countries like Islam doesn't need that ideology but simply because of morals, beliefs and was thought as haram for so many reasons.
You're right...
It's more of money and politics thing.
In most countries, gambling is often essentially a very good source that provides tax revenue to the government and that's why the government often feel very reluctant to place a permanent ban on gambling.
If you sit and think about it for a moment, you'll figure out that it's more of an moral quandary, the government benefits more from the vice of their citizens who indulge in gambling activities.
Yes it's all because of business, from gambling taxes the government can get more money into the typical country then this will be a fast turnover of money in gambling.
The government that has legalized bitcoin is unlikely to ban it the government will only continue to monitor whoever does not pay taxes will be fined.
The government does not care about the evils of gambling, they only urge and never take any action.

Actually, based on the level gambling is going these days, on my own opinion, it should be banned. Reason being is, Student in college are no longer focus in studying because of gambling. Children below 18 years, under age are involve in gambling, and it's lead to them, stealing their parents money for gambling. It has disintegrate families and relationships in the society, so to me the disadvantage of gambling in the society is more than the advantage it gives to the society,based on that,it should be banned that's my opinion.

Very well said, people are the problem. Many do not want to take personal responsibility and instead hope the government will intervene, for example by closing casinos. But the problem is not really theirs. You must develop yourself and your children by teaching them useful skills and providing valuable information. So that these students will be able to make independent decisions in the future and be responsible for the consequences.

That's absolutely factual.
The problem has never really been the casinos but people's and individual approach towards gambling.
Because the same gambling that's causing a lot of people crazy ass losses and frustration is also the same activity other people indulge themselves to have fun and relieve some mental stress.
So rather than expecting the government to issue a permaban on casinos, people should be more concerned with developing themselves and taking charge of their lives because that way gambling will have less negative effects on people who indulge in it.

Anyone that is so self-centered or that was addicted to gambling and gambling took a lot of money from will be talking in a way that gambling should be banned. Also some people that their parents and mosque have been teaching the lesson that gambling is not good can be saying something like that. But who wants gambling to be banned are like someone saying knife 🔪 should be banned because it can be used to kill. But everyone home has knife.

I believe in some countries especially Muslim countries gambling is not legal. It is banned in some countries. Under age children should not be allowed to gamble, as it will adversely affect their academic activities. It will also affects extracurricular activities.

Well yeah but we all know that even it is not accessible in other countries with strict regualtion or even banned, some gamblers are still able to play by using vpn's I know some people who play gambling in places which gambling is prohibited but that is on their own risk. It will literally affect minors as they were being influenced by false promotions that sometimes may trick their young and weak minds.

Truly people with gambling experience in the negative ways would always want to move the motion of banning gambling as a result of their experience they had during their gambling days if at all they still gamble. I believe as a result of the addiction, they had bad experience that really cost them being devastated and maybe frustrated.
Parents and religion would also kick against the existence of gambling to be a bad example for the society and as such they are willing and ready to move the banning motion of gambling in their various societies.

OP, don't you think that if we should consider things to be banned in society because of the damage it does to our young ones and society at large? We will end up mentioning numerous things that will be banned. Starting from the Internet, social media, and phones
The three things I mentioned, haven't it caused damage or affected the younger generations in one way or the other in their studies? For example, you will find out a college student focuses more on their phone than on studying. The internet they use to browse on explicit sites and so on.
OP, with the example I brought forward, is that not enough reason for us to ban the Internet, social media, and phones because of what it causes?
OP, I know that this doesn't relate to what we are saying but I want to give an idea of what you are saying, and how it sounds to people hearing like banning gambling all because you find that college students are into it while they are not supposed to, and how gambling has disintegrated family's.
Having said that, there are things one could consider to ban and they could be banned. And there are things you don't think of getting banned because of the disadvantages it caused. Gambling shouldn't be one of them because they always advise gamblers to be above 18 years old before they gamble and everyone should gamble responsibly

And it all comes down to individual perspectives and reactions towards gambling.
That's a very good illustration and a perfect example to explain the situation about wanting to place a permanent ban on gambling. There are people who are actually gambling responsibly and haven't actually felt the negative impacts and the bad sides of gambling because their emotions are in check and they're only gambling for the fun. So gambling can't be completely banned because some people can't control themselves.
Instead there should be regulations set In place to normalize the rate of gambling and make sure the negative effects of gambling is reduced to an extent.
