should gambling be completely banned?

[Crwth]

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?

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.

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.

[Unbunplease]

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.

[FOKA33]

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?

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.

[luckyledger]

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.

you cannot completely ban gambling because in this case you will be banned by the society

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.

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.
