The answer is because if they gamble on their own matches it will increase the opportunities for match fixing. If this really happens then it will really highlight football in the eyes of the world.

However, I also can't confirm whether they are gambling or not, because the only ones who know about their activities are themselves. However, it is clear in the regulations that this is something that is not allowed because if they gamble on their own game, then they will tend to fix the score.

No gambling is not illegal not unless they comply on the governments regulation and stuff. If these gambling sites or establishments are registered then they can operate freely in accordance of the law of a specific country other than that will be deemed illegal.

Maybe it is part of the games rules and regulation. For me one reason why players are not allowed gambling is because of the possibility that they will use force and dirty tricks just to win the game that might also surely ruin the true essence of the game.

What people criticize? If it is about regulation, it can be different among the countries in the world. Not every government bans the gambling, it depends on the regulation in the country. If gambling is legal in the country, the government won't ban gambling.

You can check the information here about the legality of gambling in each country around the world: https://slotegrator.pro/gambling-regulations-map/

No, it doesn't mean gambling is illegal.
If the football players can't gamble, it is because of some reasons. It is the way to protect the career of the footballers. This way also avoid the manipulation or cheating that can happen. However, it seems there is still a chance for the footballers to gamble but it is regulated by certain rules.

If gambling was illegal, it will not just exist or you will be arrested if you are found involved in gambling.  But people do gamble, but the problem is that there is alot of restrictions on gambling and different laws concerning gambling in different countries especially as it concerns under age and gambling abuse or gambling.

Football players are not allowed to gamble in football betting because the players determine the outcome of the match. They can't actually be a judge in their own case, else they will just score an own goal to determine their favourable result.

For some places it is, some places it is not. And even further complicating things, there are some nations with some allowed gambling and not allowed gambling. For example here in Turkiye, we have gambling and some of them are legal, like for example sports betting is legal here, which is why I believe that you can gamble here, fully legally. But to further complicate things, casinos are not allowed for example, or I think any casino games, like you can't play slots here, or even play slots online in any place. Which means that its illegal to play those games. So there are further stuff and I think that's why its complicated.

Gambling is prohibited but the extent of the ban varies from country to country.  Gambling is completely illegal in our country Bangladesh and gambling has been declared banned by the government.  A gambler in my country is usually criticized and his family is always looked down upon.  Gambling is a religious taboo in our country and one of the main motives behind government bans on gambling is that it goes against social norms or norms, so gambling has been outlawed in parliament so far.  Moreover, the amount of loss in gambling is more than the profit and the government will never accept responsibility for these losses so it is natural that the government must formulate a prohibition policy before taking such a big risk.

As far as I am concerned, gambling can never be an illegal activity, we can never stick to what a government wants to implement, things don't work like that, this is something we must always consider, it is illegal if the country does it. wants to make it illegal, for the most conservative it could be taken as an illegal activity but it is not, if you are not harming anyone I can't find a reason why it is illegal, there are really things in the world that should not be illegal and now It's out there circulating and being launched like the most normal thing in the world.

Eproses sometimes consider that gaming activities are illegal, but they say this because they have never played it, they have never had that experience, it is very easy to talk about what you don't know and repeat what others say, it is better to have judgment before talking about something, that's why the countries that prohibit them, sooner or later the deaths come to light and become normal.

The gambling status varies from country to country. In my country (Pakistan) gambling is illegal but in Europe its not illegal to gamble rather you got legal backing of your betting money. In case you won the bet and other party is not paying you money then you can take legal action against them.
One thing I found surprising is that gambling is illegal in my country but players in domestic cricket are wearing shirts that have logo of betting sites.

Gambling is not illegal but in many countries it is been regulated, if a country decides to ban a gambling firm I think it is for a reason, is either such firm is been used for dubious activity, I want you to understand that what you fund as a gambler is your wallet and this wallet can be used for laundering of money depending on the gambling platform deposit limit, so before you'd hear that a gambling firm was banned, you should make thorough investigation to ascertain the exact event that led to such act of the government on them, sometimes it can be that they are flaring government laws on task or they are not paying tax.
Football players are not allowed to play because gambling is an emotional thing, just imagine if you staked a game and you are a player in such match, you will want to do everything possible to make sure that your stake worked accordingly and this too can cause you injury because of your over anxiousness to win the bet.

As far as I know gambling is illegal in major Islamic countries including Pakistan because gambling will never be legalized due to religious sentiments. Gambling is also illegal in my Bangladesh and participating in gambling here is considered a social crime as well as a state crime. However, no matter how much it is banned, online gambling is currently becoming an overnight business in our country. Most of the online are unemployed youth group and school college youthInclusion of young women is damaging the future of the students as well as causing considerable damage to their careers. The guardians of our country are very concerned about the current state of online gambling and live in worry about the future of their children.

If it is related to illegal or illegal regulations and regulations, of course it will depend on each country. In my country, Indonesia, gambling is illegal and restricted, both offline and online gambling. The government and authorities often carry out investigations regarding this matter, especially since there are many cases related to online gambling that occur in our country.

But still, even though it is illegal and restricted in our country, many people still do it, both offline and online. Especially online, it is very widespread and difficult to eradicate.

I understand that people might be able to gamble online with the help of a VPN but how do people gamble offline knowing that it is illegal without being apprehended by the security personnel?

No, in the country I live in, gambling is clearly visible but online. Offline gambling is immediately subject to inspection by the government and police, bookies and gamblers also go straight to prison if caught gambling offline.
Online gambling is very popular, the website is not blocked by the government or after being blocked it comes back with a different website. But it's true that basically in my country gambling is prohibited because it may have more negative effects than positive effects.

Football players are prohibited from gambling apparently because of the focus effect. Football players should focus on the game of football, strategy, recovery after the match and various things in the football environment.
From a material perspective, this footballer definitely has a very large salary and no longer needs to earn money by gambling. Or maybe if you want to have fun, this footballer can play other sports such as motocross, etc.

Yeah currently, only a few countries have received permission and are registered with the government regarding the use of online or offline gambling venues, including your country, which strictly prohibits gambling because of several very strong religious factors. However, from the explanation you gave that there are people who wear clothes with betting site logos, I think they have been gambling without anyone knowing, and they have managed to get a lot of profit, so they like wearing clothes with gambling site logos.
