Title: should gambling be completely banned?
Post by: Emmanuel1 on March 30, 2024, 11:21:38 PM

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?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
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.

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...
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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
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...

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

I agree with your submission. Gambling has no problem or negative connotation in itself. The negativity associated with gambling is as a result of how some people gamble. Most gamblers gamble with greed and some believe that gambling will help them escape poverty. This kind of mindset is the reason people gamble uncontrollably and then run into the web of problem gambling.

If people can gamble moderately without 100% dependance on gambling for earns meet then soonest people will understand that gambling is not a problem but the individual. For instance, can we say car is bad because some persons have accident due to reckless driving? We often preach against reckless driving and not against the purchase of a car. This is similar to gambling.

Gambling may be officially banned all over the world, but that doesn't mean that people won't gamble illegally - and that means that state treasuries around the world would have to give up a lot of money they collect from taxes. The real problem is that there is not much strict control over who actually gambles, because many young people use the online accounts of their parents or older family members and become addicted to gambling.

Unfortunately, until gambling companies introduce even stricter controls and begin to analyze user behavior and introduce restrictions on how much they can spend, it is difficult for anything to change. If you have problems with gambling and cannot help yourself, seek help as soon as possible.

Though people are abusing gambling but gambling has helped a lot of people in the world. According to some boys I met some years ago, if there was no gambling then arm robbery and stealing would have been on the peak on the streets. But because of gambling those bad boys are always in the casinos halls to play games to win. So they are are always busy. So banning gambling is not a good suggestion in the world.

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.

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.

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.
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.

seen some of these local betshop owners visited by the sheriff every now and then in our neighborhood, rumors spread all over in town about it that why the betshop is never been raided by the cops.

so yea the corruption is rampant and this underground casinos thrive when the officers in town are just bolder and casino operators can get away.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

In speaking about involving huge money then  this is something that would really be talking about those exemptions on which despite of the ban or prohibition but still they were that able to operate just because they had padi up on whats needed which its already that typical into the world on where we are living. This is why you cant really be able to stop
completely if there's someone on the government would really be able to cover up then they would really be continuing no matter what. Ban and prohibitions is really that unlikely
considering taxes generated by these businesses are really that something significant and hardly be able to deny and ignore about its help specially on taxation and other correlated things.

Exactly, a ban on gambling institutions is not viable to some countries that relies on the tax generated from it to finance government projects. Regulations may be applied as to control this institution but not totally ban.

Our country is one of those many countries that rely on gambling as a source of revenue.

The government never wants to shut down any such institution that will benefit or gain revenue unless it is for some major social cause. Governments will receive revenue from gambling establishments in countries where governments have legalized gambling. If they want to stop gambling, they will lose that revenue. Currently, gambling will never be banned in countries where it is once permitted. Because governments know very well that if they stop gambling, betting won't stop. Nowadays, there are a lot of gambling sites where anyone can get access using a VPN.

I suggest to re-read first post to find how ridiculous is the reason to ban gambling. As well as person created some imaginary situation to convince that he is right. I find it wrong to ban whole industry, just because I dont like something, or a group of people doing something wrong. Why should I bother if some, I will stress on only some, students gamble instead of studying. I might turn, that OP offers to ban whole multi billion industry because a group of 100-1000 students were slacking from studying. Like after banning gambling, they would immediately return to studying.

The gambling industry involves a lot of money, and the circulation of money there is very fast and large, so anyone will definitely be tempted if they are offered such a large amount of money.

That's what makes gambling always exist because they can survive with the money they have. If the parties involved are given enough money, it will be easy for them to carry out their gambling even if there is a ban.

Gambling has now become an industry so no country's government wants their industry to be destroyed. At the moment, many people's employment is tied to gambling, if the government of any country acts against it, then the government will not be able to take responsibility for the employment of this huge population. If gambling is banned then the number of unemployed in their country will increase on the one hand and the revenue of their country will decrease on the other hand. Neither side will have the capacity to deal with the situation on the part of the government. Considering the current situation I can definitely say that gambling industry is not bannedt they can regulate this industry by making regulations. Moreover, the development of this industry is increasing.

I agree with you. Whatever benefits the government is protected by the government. Most times the government doesn't bother about the vices caused by gambling but rather the gains from the gambling industries. Also, most bookies are classified as MNCs and so they are known to influence certain government decisions by paying huge amount of money in form of royalties in order to sustain their presence in that country.

The above reveals to us that as long as the gambling industry is concern the government is a beneficiary and banning gambling can be likened to removing sugar from government's mouth and I think no government especially in the developing countries would accede to it. Also, the people don't have one voice as to whether they need the gambling industry or not and so when matters of such appears it generates a lot of controversy which makes it difficult to get a consensus.

In fact, whether or not gambling is prohibited in a country will always be a debate, because there are people who strongly reject gambling and there are people who accept it, we also cannot deny the facts that occur in the field.

In my opinion, in this case the government must be the third person who looks for solutions so that everything runs well. Yes, because they have authority that they can use to mediate.

seen some of these local betshop owners visited by the sheriff every now and then in our neighborhood, rumors spread all over in town about it that why the betshop is never been raided by the cops.

so yea the corruption is rampant and this underground casinos thrive when the officers in town are just bolder and casino operators can get away.
That only means one thing, legally or illegally, the authorities still benefit from it.
The government now tax gambling companies, which is one reason why they'll never place a permanent ban on gambling activities, even the illegal gambling outlets and casinos still pay the authorities to stay in operation and that's how it's been for decades and will continue to be.

In this day and age, anything can be done, as you said, even though in certain countries gambling sites cannot be accessed, they have ways to access those gambling sites, so this will be very difficult to stop.

The problem is that all the control is in their hands, yes they have their phones at their disposal. And if it's a personal item then it's their privacy, so this isn't something that's easy to get rid of.

Yes, it is very true, I always go to see any type of thing that has to do with casinos, I do not see any type of sense in prohibiting it , in the Countries that do it because they will see for what purposes they are ? Some are because of religion, which is Known , but in person it is like I said, if someone has phone numbers from other countries, admitting them, I think there is no problem, which I don't understand and why not even with VPN, some sites don't admit it. , if what matters is that people go into the Casino and play, because the restrictions of some Countries tend to be so determining , if in the end everything is included in a political problem.

And if you check very well, the only gambling activities that the authorities attack are those that have refused to comply with them, and even those that are conaidered to be illegal gambling, as long as tgey comply with the authorities and give them their cut, they'll still be in business.

Yeah exactly. But right now our government is busy playing like a cat and mouse game due to the POGO issues that become a threat to national security as most individuals involved were foreign nationals such as Chinese, Vietnamese and many more. For me it was really alarming given that what had happened in the region right now is a bit of a concern for us. Corrupt officials really is I think behind all this since these offshore gaming  operators can secure permit to operate even if they have questionable documents.

If they do care, don't you know that the casinos will not be able to make huge amount of profit and also give the government huge tax. It will be bad business for both the casinos and the government, and this is why the government don't care if the casinos are being regulated or not.

Everything has positive and negative sides. And especially gambling, you definitely have that. However, if you are banned from gambling, it is very likely to happen. As in my country, there is no gambling, gambling is prohibited, and gambling is restricted in my country.

In fact, there is more and more online gambling which is becoming more and more widespread and will be very difficult to stop. And in fact, every day more and more people will approach you. So, yes, whether it is banned or not, gambling will still reap actions and perceptions and pros and cons. So, once again, it is difficult to prevent them from engaging in gambling even now openly.

However, the problem is that it is not that easy to actually prohibit citizens from engaging in gambling. even when there is a threat of imprisonment, but unfortunately that doesn't make people aware of this rule.

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.

while we are at it ban alcohol and drugs and sex unless you are married.

Well you have the point as well and unfortunately that is reality right now as the government makes huge amount of money despite minors are trying to get into the trend. Every single day it is just a normal day for these people as their purses are getting thicker but gamblers are getting poorer and poorer which also causes chaos to the society because of the fact that they cannot sustain their urge to gamble just like the way rich people do so that is why they commit crimes which will repeat itself over and over again.

Absolutely, the government benefits from the proceeds of gambling and so even though they are aware of the vices caused by problem gambling, the government still welcomes and allows the proliferation of gambling sites.

Government most times intervene in matters that affects them personally and since the way some people gamble does not affect them directly they have failed to take proactive measures to control the social vices caused by gambling.

It becomes more challenging when you consider than officers who should help prevent the occurrence of this social vices are also involved in it. Sometimes, officers leave their duty post just to gamble and this tells us that gambling will be difficult to ban.

The problem is that all the control is in their hands, yes they have their phones at their disposal. And if it's a personal item then it's their privacy, so this isn't something that's easy to get rid of.

Yes, it is very true, I always go to see any type of thing that has to do with casinos, I do not see any type of sense in prohibiting it , in the Countries that do it because they will see for what purposes they are ? Some are because of religion, which is Known , but in person it is like I said, if someone has phone numbers from other countries, admitting them, I think there is no problem, which I don't understand and why not even with VPN, some sites don't admit it. , if what matters is that people go into the Casino and play, because the restrictions of some Countries tend to be so determining , if in the end everything is included in a political problem.
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.

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.

That's correct, there are always people who benefit and it's a business, and in all these types of things there's always money, so in this order of ideas things can be seen like this, also in governments there are always inflows of money that come from other places that are suspicious, and in this case everything that has to do with games of chance there is always money there and a lot of it, currently in my country the government enjoys very large inflows of money from physical casinos, as they were prohibited now the business is Lucrative enough so that they can continue opening the doors to these businesses, but with such great conditions.

The casino business has proven to be one of the most lucrative and profitable businesses, and even the government have come to that realization which is why they're more interested in getting their cut via taxation rather than regulating them.

And if you check very well, the only gambling activities that the authorities attack are those that have refused to comply with them, and even those that are conaidered to be illegal gambling, as long as tgey comply with the authorities and give them their cut, they'll still be in business.

It is true that the facts say that if you refuse, you will be purged and not given room to develop, I don't know why this is the case with the top officials, even though gambling is very dangerous for the younger generation and the economy of a family if it is addicted.
First of all I think this also has to do with the Culture of the People , many are always Looking for the best ways to make money, and when a government gives the go-ahead things can be quite good for everyone, as long as governments, high officials, make a lot of money, the thing about families with addicts, that is Something that does not really interest governments and I think that at all Levels it is always like this, this is something that goes much further, when we talk about stratospheric amounts of money, some people's humanity falls apart, this is very sad, But something like this always happens.

Now move this information on the reason from first post why gambling should be banned and you would see how absurd everything is. Because some students gamble instead of studying, "Chinese has to travel to Hongkong or Macau to gamble". Look how his offer is ridiculous. Gambling would never be banned for such a silly reason. In fact it should not be banned. Everyone are benefiting from it. People have fun, government taxes, industry earn from it. Some lose, but some win also.

That's to tell you that the government are more interested in their personal interest and care less about how the affairs of the country affects the general public. That is why the trace of corruption will always be found in every country's society, for some countries, the rate of corruption can be minimal and for some, it can be much, but whether more or less, every government has what it takes to completely eradicate corruption in within their jurisdiction, but they only choose which to eradicate and which not to, depending on how they are able to benefit from them.

Do you think that the government care about you to the extend of preventing some calamities from be falling on you. The government are like the casinos that are out for business and only cares about what they will get in return. This is why you see that they are so corrupt to the point that they don't care about what happens to the common man on the street. Gambling is a business, and it also have its own benefits but it is just that the consequences is higher than the benefits, because you can get addicted easiky. The government that frown against gambling are the Islamic countries, apart from them all government are happy to get big funds from casino, and don't care how gambling is affecting the citizens and the society at large.

No country can eradicate gambling automatically and the matter the restriction is in the country gamblers will look for a way to gamble. And it comes to tht stage there will be a gambling site that will not have a gambling domain but other normal name but the content will be a gambling. Then social media platforms can also launched gambling. And mostly telegram. Banning of gambling activities have been implemented in my local community yet boys were gambling. And if you arrest them, they would tell you that gambling gave them money and you that have put the law have not given them anything so what is the need. So those laws have no water tight implementation.

If the government can manage it very well and with strict and good regulations, then the government can be said to be able to manage it very well. Because they will definitely find a lot of rejection, because in reality not everyone agrees with gambling.

However, it is not easy to ensure that all parties are not harmed, the challenge is that it comes from rejection, especially when rejection comes from a majority vote.

This is not true. There are countries that have strong laws against gambling and the citizens too can't gamble. The gambling policy is so strong that even with a VPN you cannot have access to any gambling site. Even in some countries where its national laws accepts gambling activity, some States in that country still prohibits gambling. What it means is that as long as you are in that State you are restricted from gambling.

And if you arrest them, they would tell you that gambling gave them money and you that have put the law have not given them anything so what is the need. So those laws have no water tight implementation.

Ideally, no individual is above the law. Where there is a strong law against gambling, the youths cannot gamble. The reason is simple, the youths are not stronger than the State apparatus which simply tells us that your argument would not hold water where the law against gambling is strong because the moment some youths are apprehended, others will desist.

I think it is all about money because revenue in gambling especially tax and not to mention the "under the table" thing is huge. Regulators don't actually care about gamblers and laws they implemented because if they do then why gambling ads are rampant and are indicriminately posted on social media where there are a lot of minors viewing it every single day without them knowing? It even existed on televisions here in my country. I started to see regulators being hypocrite this time because Money really matters to them as they are not prioritizing the safety of the people. I agree that some of us might argue that gambling should only be strictly regulated but not banned.
If they do care, don't you know that the casinos will not be able to make huge amount of profit and also give the government huge tax. It will be bad business for both the casinos and the government, and this is why the government don't care if the casinos are being regulated or not. It is sad to see that no one cares about the damage gambling is doing the the younger ones, but only care about getting money from casinos.
Well you have the point as well and unfortunately that is reality right now as the government makes huge amount of money despite minors are trying to get into the trend. Every single day it is just a normal day for these people as their purses are getting thicker but gamblers are getting poorer and poorer which also causes chaos to the society because of the fact that they cannot sustain their urge to gamble just like the way rich people do so that is why they commit crimes which will repeat itself over and over again.
A common problem is playing like the rich, I have always said Something , if a person wants to excel and do things very well he has to make some sacrifices, some people who are already rich have their way of playing and doing things ,  a person who is poor or who does not have the same resources will always find it Difficult to do things like the rich, the opportunities are not the Same and if he tries to do something like a rich person and loses, well, the consequences will be very catastrophic, that is why in the game we always talk about Self-control but I believe that true control comes in the management of Money.

In my understanding, sacrifice is something that is dear to someone. I don't think it is ideal for a poor person to take any form of sacrifice in gambling. By this I mean trying to gamble above his finance. It is important for a poor gambler not to try to gamble like the rich like you said but the true is that a poor person cannot gamble like the rich because the rich has more resources than the poor gambler but sometimes the poor shoulders more risk regardless of the fact that a rich person places higher stakes.

For instance, if a poor gambler have $100 and then use $60 to gamble it means he is gambling above 50% of his income which is very wrong and then we have a rich gambler who worths $100000 and then uses $1000 to gamble. Literally, the rich gambler staked a higher amount but that amount is not even up to 20% of his income which means the poor gambler is spending more on gambling and such poor gambler will continue to languish in poverty.

Haha exactly card games is the most common or the most popular gambling anywhere in the world except for those countries that really ban it but yeah you can play with your family members, friends and relatives with it for fun anytime anywhere. Here in my place card games is illegal but my neighbors used to play with it inside their houses so they can lock doors incase there is a raid and pretend to just having a good time with friends with food and drinks.

Aside from cards, there's coins that we can use to gamble as well. I mean the regular coins that we are using to pay anything. 2 coins. Pick between 2 tails or 2 heads.

Aside from coins, we also used spiders to make some bets. We pick spiders on our forest and use them to fight each other. Heck, we even use rocks. That's in our early days of our lives and even I just remembered it all when I saw this post. Completely not related to the topic, but it's good to share some of our experiences sometimes. :)

It will be wrong to generalize that government don't care about the people. Some countries have actually prohibited gambling because it has resulted in gambling related crime. Such government sees that gambling is creating problems for individuals which has created disturbance in their polity and so rendered it illegal to safeguard citizens.

However, due to corrupt officials in government as you noted and the gains they get from the bookies through payment of tax and other royalties, government in some countries have paid deaf ears to the crime occasioned by gambling but that notwithstanding gamblers should learn to gamble responsibly so people don't have to wait on government to ban gambling before they live a good life.

I understand your argument but from my personal experience I have realized that government don't make policies or take actions that is not beneficial to them whether directly or indirectly. So, even the countries you feel placed banned on gambling may actually not be because the some citizens are gambling uncontrollably but maybe they are only trying to safeguard their administration or maybe trying to punish a particular enemy who owns a gambling site. My take though.

I understand you but then I am forced to ask certain questions. Do such policies have a positive impact on citizens' lives? Have such policies restored sanity in these countries? As long as a country's government prohibits gambling and reduces gambling-related crimes, such a policy is good, regardless of its political undertone.

In some cases, the government has made citizens' lives easier in order to achieve selfish goals. An analogy will suffice. A government official who intends to tile a road to his home would also make life easier for residents in the area. As a result, by attempting to make himself comfortable, he makes life easier for those who live on the same street as him.

Every country's government expenditure has increased and on the other hand inflation has created more problems there. Governments of most countries now need money. They are giving utmost importance to increase their revenue. As a result they are thinking how to collect more revenue from new places. And considering this issue, the government has paid special attention to gambling platforms. Now gambling is considered as the industry where governments are profiting from now and will profit more in the future. While gambling has been banned in some countries, it is now legalized in most countries. So it is no longer possible to eliminate gambling rather its amount will increase many times than before.

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.

Banning gambling  isn't the best option to tackle this matter, the best way is for gambling platforms to start requiring KYC before anyone is allow to gamble. It's obvious children below the age of 18 is gambling on online casino and bet platforms. Gambling has its way of influencing the bettor mentally and it takes only the discipline ones to gamble without getting addicted or even making any irresponsible action because of the urge to gamble. The minds of children are not yet mature enough to start getting exposed to gambling or even making any responsible life decision except being backed up by their guardian. KYC is important and I think casinos should start giving it consideration.

KYC wont help in this case. Numerous fake IDs and ID market killed KYC effectivity long time ago. And since we are in digital era, underaged can create another account and continue gambling. Gambling and underaged problem is not as big as it is described. Kids have still plenty of things to discover and try, compared with adults, that they wont focus on gambling only. Moreover, kids gambling career ends when they run out of money. They must put some effort to get a loan (as they have little to give as collateral) and spoil their lives.

Sometimes I wonder, what is the reason why a country wants to Prohibit gambling? I think it goes against the human rights of people , because it is a form of distortion, and yes, although it is something that can be dangerous, it is an activity that is done for Adults , that is, adults who are already responsible for their actions, it is not something that should be seen as bad, so if a country or a ruler prohibits this, I would say that he is a very selfish person and that he should not always do things this way, because he is putting or putting his way of thinking before other people having the right or freedom to choose.

Maybe they are trying to protect people from themselves, because a lot of gamblers suffer from gambling addiction and can't even help themselves recover from it because the addiction has grown really deep inside of them, so the government feel the only or vest way to help such persons would be to permanently ban gambling activities within that jurisdiction to avoid further damage on them, even when it means infringing on a few of their rights to protect them from the dangers of gambling addiction.

Yes, it's somehow against the rights of the citizens who live in a country but it depends on government to take decisions and no one in public can take any action against it.

I believe most countries prohibit gambling because they believe it can be harmful for their citizens as it can cause addiction to youngsters.

But there could be many other reasons because of which a country may ban gambling, however the main reason may always be to prevent youngsters from getting addicted to it.

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.

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.

That's correct, there are always people who benefit and it's a business, and in all these types of things there's always money, so in this order of ideas things can be seen like this, also in governments there are always inflows of money that come from other places that are suspicious, and in this case everything that has to do with games of chance there is always money there and a lot of it, currently in my country the government enjoys very large inflows of money from physical casinos, as they were prohibited now the business is Lucrative enough so that they can continue opening the doors to these businesses, but with such great conditions.
If the government can manage it very well and with strict and good regulations, then the government can be said to be able to manage it very well. Because they will definitely find a lot of rejection, because in reality not everyone agrees with gambling.

However, it is not easy to ensure that all parties are not harmed, the challenge is that it comes from rejection, especially when rejection comes from a majority vote.

Well in every democratic system there must be a correlation between government and congress, I understand that congress is where the enators and deputies are, who are the ones who have the right to study the laws and continue improving and optimizing the process of a country, I see nothing wrong with games of chance, as long as they have to be seen from the side that they are a business, and that every casino owner seeks to make money, like everyone else in their business, there must be rules, yes, but I do not see the point of prohibiting them, if they want to prohibit addiction it is impossible to achieve it through regulations.

Well in every democratic system there must be a correlation between government and congress, I understand that congress is where the enators and deputies are, who are the ones who have the right to study the laws and continue improving and optimizing the process of a country, I see nothing wrong with games of chance, as long as they have to be seen from the side that they are a business, and that every casino owner seeks to make money, like everyone else in their business, there must be rules, yes, but I do not see the point of prohibiting them, if they want to prohibit addiction it is impossible to achieve it through regulations.
Well, on the other hand, this is also a loss for the government because there are still many gambling companies operating in countries where it is prohibited, so they move underground and there is no income for the government.

It's different when a country legalizes gambling, they will definitely get tax income from that gambling. This is a dilemma and the government must be able to study it. I think it is legal if there is absolutely no gambling operating in countries where it is prohibited, but currently there are lots of such practices and the government is getting nothing.

KYC wont help in this case. Numerous fake IDs and ID market killed KYC effectivity long time ago. And since we are in digital era, underaged can create another account and continue gambling. Gambling and underaged problem is not as big as it is described. Kids have still plenty of things to discover and try, compared with adults, that they wont focus on gambling only. Moreover, kids gambling career ends when they run out of money. They must put some effort to get a loan (as they have little to give as collateral) and spoil their lives.

If that's the case, we need to educate the younger ones about gambling and teach them by make more references to the negative aspects of gambling so they'll have to dread gambling before they spoil their lives with it. We all are familiar with how children of this jet age are always curious in knowing more and they ask lots of questions to but if they eventually learn gambling from peers they might keep it a secret from you and that could not end well as they are likely to use their all their spear bankroll for gambling and if addiction gets to their head, they might even begin stealing from their parents to gamble.

That's correct, there are always people who benefit and it's a business, and in all these types of things there's always money, so in this order of ideas things can be seen like this, also in governments there are always inflows of money that come from other places that are suspicious, and in this case everything that has to do with games of chance there is always money there and a lot of it, currently in my country the government enjoys very large inflows of money from physical casinos, as they were prohibited now the business is Lucrative enough so that they can continue opening the doors to these businesses, but with such great conditions.
Everything has positive and negative sides. And especially gambling, you definitely have that. However, if you are banned from gambling, it is very likely to happen. As in my country, there is no gambling, gambling is prohibited, and gambling is restricted in my country.

In fact, there is more and more online gambling which is becoming more and more widespread and will be very difficult to stop. And in fact, every day more and more people will approach you. So, yes, whether it is banned or not, gambling will still reap actions and perceptions and pros and cons. So, once again, it is difficult to prevent them from engaging in gambling even now openly.

However, the problem is that it is not that easy to actually prohibit citizens from engaging in gambling. even when there is a threat of imprisonment, but unfortunately that doesn't make people aware of this rule.

It is difficult to prohibit a person from not making money , if a person or several people see that there is a clear possibility of making money through a casino or trading or something like that, who are the government to tell them no? People are not so submissive anymore, now they raise their voices, and if it is something to earn money, why do you have to tell them no? it is something that does not make sense, if they see that there is a possibility, then it must be done, there is no need to deny it, it must be done, therefore every time we see a way to make money or we believe that there is some way to make money, we should not let ourselves be manipulated by any government , I think that is all that happens.

It is impossible for governments to ban gambling and they know it.
Any attempt to do that would results in big increase of illegal gambling and they cant control and collect taxes from that anymore.
If they really wanted to ban gambling they would not start many government lotteries and sport betting predictions.

I do not agree with you. The government of any country has the authority to make national policies.  Whether you like it or not, one of the objectives of government is to protect and secure its citizens. Based on this, if the government believes that implementing a specific policy will improve citizens' living conditions, it is not unreasonable. At the end of the day, citizens will always succumb to the government's policies, whether voluntarily or tacitly.  On that note, if the government believes gambling is causing problems for citizens, it may prohibit gambling.

This is very true.
Some gamblers who are helplessly addicted to gambling are unable to restrict themselves from gambling, no matter how hard they try. One effective way to help such a person from continuously harming himself via gambling addiction would be the government enacting such strict policies that'll restrict people within their jurisdiction from indulging in gambling activities and also closing down down casinos within their jurisdiction, both online and offline, and when this happens, such gambler would gradually get over his addiction for gambling since there's no other means or way for him to access the casino or other gambling activities.
Title: Re: should gambling be completely banned?

Maybe they are trying to protect people from themselves, because a lot of gamblers suffer from gambling addiction and can't even help themselves recover from it because the addiction has grown really deep inside of them, so the government feel the only or vest way to help such persons would be to permanently ban gambling activities within that jurisdiction to avoid further damage on them, even when it means infringing on a few of their rights to protect them from the dangers of gambling addiction.

Well I understand that part, and I know that addiction cases should be given the required importance, but if the government treated those players who are in that problem and gave them their treatment assuming each expense and each thing, I think it would do more, the casino is a business that gives joy and entertainment to many people, then I think it is not the solution, because it is as if they prohibited soccer because a big problem formed in a stadium and people were killed (as has happened) the solution is not to prohibit soccer, the solution they give sometimes is to suspend the games in that stadium until people learn, it is simply analogous, but it should not be prohibited because it is limiting people.

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.

Gambling can never be completely banned, they can only try to close down physical casinos and bet shops which is very possible, but online gambling can't be stopped, even if they decide to restrict a particular country from accessing these casino sites people can still use VPNs to login. A lot of people are involved in gambling but not all are addicted, some do it to ease their stress and have fun, there are no possibilities in putting a stop to it totally

I don't think gambling can be banned everywhere at once. This type of entertainment has its origins in the most ancient centuries, where people played pebbles, made roosters eat or made horses run races. All this comes from there, and as a rule, it is embedded in our blood. And it is difficult to give up such things.

Gambling has been arrived since ancient times and will continuing. I don't think there is any chance to ban gambling. Maybe some countries can stop it but it will never be possible to ban it completely in all countries. Gambling companies now provide taxes that is why governments get a huge revenue. Now no government wants to lose financially. Moreover, gambling platforms have started to play a role in employment as well. Even if the government of a country wants to do that, it cannot take a decision to ban it. Considering these things I can definitely say that gambling will not be banned or is not possible. A gambler can personally refrain himself from gambling if he faces negative effect.

Sometimes I wonder, what is the reason why a country wants to Prohibit gambling? I think it goes against the human rights of people , because it is a form of distortion, and yes, although it is something that can be dangerous, it is an activity that is done for Adults , that is, adults who are already responsible for their actions, it is not something that should be seen as bad, so if a country or a ruler prohibits this, I would say that he is a very selfish person and that he should not always do things this way, because he is putting or putting his way of thinking before other people having the right or freedom to choose.
There is a purpose behind all the rules, where the government does not want its people to fall into gambling, if the initial goal was just to have fun I don't think the government would prohibit it, there are many cases of crime based on people who are addicted to gambling, even minors are already familiar with online gambling today

In that you are right, I personally think something, like the purpose of many governments is not for people to get the fun, because if not they would not get into that business, at least in my country I do know why they have let the casinos flow again after being banned for more than 20 years and the reason is that the government launders money, there is so much money that they handle that a casino is the perfect one to extract clean money, that is why physical casinos are so well cared for nowadays and operate with ease, apart from giving them a good cut, but that only happens in my country, I don't know if in other countries they can influence that way.

Should gambling be totally banned? It would really be that totally depend on a certain country whether they would be able to see if gambling addiction is really that too high or not or
simply they do really mind off about their citizens conditions when it comes to gambling addiction or wont really be having no care and just focus out on the revenue that it could possibly give.
So if you do really have those kind of concerns about banning then this would really be that still a long process or tons of debates before it would be approved out.

I don't know how things work in other Countries, but in my country things are even more corrupt, even a minor can be let in and swindle if they are with someone important from the casino or if they simply pay the security guards, so there may be many laws, but since there is money involved, that premise is much stronger, and it's a shame, but that's how things are, so due to government regulations or something, they simply do it to make it good, but the governments really don't care About this.

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.
if there are laws guiding gambling then why are minors still gambling that is to say the law has no effect because, there has to be a team enforce the law so that it can have effect on the minors because if there's no effect,that's to say the law is not working.

To enforce that law will be very hard and difficult for people to abide by it cause people get a lot of money and it seems to be some people’s home . If the law  want to be abide by the government will definitely try and provide for each citizen and their families, their responsibilities and wants and eventually get them a perfect job with perfect allowances.

yeah I fully agreed with you but after the government applied this requirement they will need to bring a perfect and very sever system of punishment to any one caught gambling cause for gamblers gambling can’t just be leave like that cause they are really attached and addicted to it like it their daily routine activities.
But it will be very difficult and hard to ban gambling in the society the government will need to be very strict and aggressive on that if not I don’t think it will be possible

The government couldn't completely ban gambling because government itself also supported gambling to some degree. For example  they have given license to traditional casinos.

Even when they limit the teens to gamble online there are still holes to this laws since they are not able to watch out every online development which gives an opportunity to o businesses that allows anyone to register.

They cant just let it slip, if we do really tend to look at on how much this business could generate out and the tax revenue that it could give. Then this is something that will really be unlikely to be banned. We do know that taxes are really the main thing for economic grown and development of a certain country. If they would really be that focusing too much or minding about gambling addiction and wont really be needing any taxes then they might consider out such ban but if it would turn out to be opposite then it would really be that unlikely to happen.

Especially as if the government counts the employment the casinos have provided to the region. We have certain cities in our country where tourist go experience world class casinos. Las Vegas is just an example in US but there have been more in places like this in US as far as I know.

Just imagine these casinos having their own online version of their casinos, more attractive with semi-nude dealer, that's a bonus.

The reason why you see minors gambling is because they are using that site illegally - and that’s one of the reasons why you see casinos asking for their users to undergo kyc verification, because with that they’ll be able to see who is accessing the site that isn’t up to the minimum required age.

No system is perfect but there are still trying to make sure that does underaged are not using the site.

Banning gambling will make the government miss out the revenue that will be coming from casino taxes and don't forget that casinos pay high in order to cover up their dirties. Some government that banned gambling have looked backed into it and they are no legalizing it because they have seen that some people ar still gambling with vpn in other casinos that are not in the country.

The license aren't gotten for free, thousands of dollars are put on the line before any casino can be legally operational in any country unless they want to be doing illegal and by that, they can be sue in the future and not just that, casino pay tax to government quarterly and yearly, so government are the big benefactor of gambling in the society in my opinion.

gambling can release stress and can entertain those who are bored that alone imo is not bad of course you should be responsible enough not to fall in too deep to the point that you lose everything that you have because of gambling if you get lucky then gambling is good and if you dont get lucky then you are just going to have to accept that and move on and dont try to lose all your money

It is up to the gambler to decide whether gambling is a stress reliever or a source of entertainment for him when he is bored. Gamblers who are concerned with making extra money may not see gambling as a stress reliever or even a form of entertainment. The reason for this is that a gambler who is concerned about making extra money from gambling will almost certainly not receive the extra cash he desires, and he will most likely begin to panic by gambling more in order to win and make the extra cash, or by gambling more to recoup losses. This is always the state of mind of most gamblers who want to make extra money, and gambling has always caused more stress for the gambler because his goals are not always met.

In gambling not only for the purpose of earning money, there are many people who gamble for the purpose of having fun. But if a country's government doesn't legalize or ban gambling, they will place their bets on other country's gambling platforms in some other way. By doing this, the government will lose its revenue. Moreover, since the gambling companies are developing massively at present, there will be a lot of employment opportunities centered around this industry. If governments block the transition of this industry, they will suffer from both sides. Governments should change their policies with the changing times. Although gambling is not suitable for those who are addicted to gambling, it is not a big obstacle for those who see it as a center of entertainment.

This is actually what is feared when someone makes gambling a place to find extra money, because the risk is not the extra money they get, but a reduction in income that could actually be used for other things.

While those who come with the aim of relieving stress will be fine when they lose money, because of course they have realized that from the start. And when they win it is just a bonus for them.

This is correct because a gambler who attempts to make extra money will end up losing the little money he has. Most gamblers believe they do not have money, so they rely heavily on gambling to make money, but when they go back to calculate how much they have spent, they always discover that they have lost a lot of money. In some cases, the accumulation of the total amount they have lost in chasing more money is what they desire.

Gambling naturally becomes enjoyable when it is not done for financial gain. The desire to win and make money makes it difficult to gamble for enjoyment. As you mentioned, winning is only a bonus when a gambler is more concerned with having fun.

It is up to the gambler to decide whether gambling is a stress reliever or a source of entertainment for him when he is bored. Gamblers who are concerned with making extra money may not see gambling as a stress reliever or even a form of entertainment. The reason for this is that a gambler who is concerned about making extra money from gambling will almost certainly not receive the extra cash he desires, and he will most likely begin to panic by gambling more in order to win and make the extra cash, or by gambling more to recoup losses. This is always the state of mind of most gamblers who want to make extra money, and gambling has always caused more stress for the gambler because his goals are not always met.
This is actually what is feared when someone makes gambling a place to find extra money, because the risk is not the extra money they get, but a reduction in income that could actually be used for other things.

While those who come with the aim of relieving stress will be fine when they lose money, because of course they have realized that from the start. And when they win it is just a bonus for them.
When you want extra cash and you think gambling can double your funds, this is where you get itvwrong because the opposite will be what you get. It's better gamblers understand this and gamble for fun so that they can enjoy gambling. If you are not enjoying the fun in gambling because you are after profit, it os good to quit before it is too late.

In addition to what you said there are some gamblers who gamble to make profit and by luck they are getting it but with some loses . But actually gamblers who gamble for fun really enjoy gambling because even if they loss it won’t really hurt them like when you are gambling to make profit instantly. Gamblers who gamble for profit really thinks gambling is a free money banker or what are they thinking not knowing it risking and can just destroy everything you have or earn .
Gambling is really something else a person will really work hard from Morning till evening and end up earning a little money after all gambling will just take it within a blink of an eye what a shame and disaster.

Sometimes I do not understand why games of chance have to be prohibited ? I do not know, if it is because of the condition of some people it is obvious that the casinos, the people who cannot, should not play, but it should not be thought that simply because some people do not like the game they say that they should be prohibited, in the world there is everything, things always have to be expressed, but in the world with all the freedom that exists such things should not be prohibited , then some say that because of religion, because of culture, but even so those things are repeated but it does not mean that they should be prohibited, I do not see a logical argument for that.

This is correct because a gambler who attempts to make extra money will end up losing the little money he has. Most gamblers believe they do not have money, so they rely heavily on gambling to make money, but when they go back to calculate how much they have spent, they always discover that they have lost a lot of money. In some cases, the accumulation of the total amount they have lost in chasing more money is what they desire.

While those who come with the aim of relieving stress will be fine when they lose money, because of course they have realized that from the start. And when they win it is just a bonus for them.

If we accumulate the number of losses and the number of wins when gambling, then I am sure we will get a number of losses greater than what we win. but we do not come for that, and the money we use is also money that is ready to be lost.

From here it should be realized that when winning it does not necessarily return the amount of loss, this is one of the reasons why in gambling we should not have the thought of returning the amount of loss.

It's not about the religious state and where it will be like that.

But debating that it should be banned because people below 18 are abusing it while the actual violators are the underage users who is illegally accessing the gambling site should face some kind of correction to help this go away is the solution but entirely banning it is not the actual solution also doing that will not end the gambling but just let the unregulated casinos to operate and scam money.

Yeah and it should always be treated as an entertainment. Other than that might end us up losing. Some people especially here in my place really are up only good fortune gambling may bring but up until now they are still losing though just a few dollars in a lottery but still it will become huge when they place bets every single day and what's annoying is that it is not extra money.

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.
If these types of traits are seen in most of the people in a society, then there is no other way but to bring restrictions on gambling in that society because this problem has become very serious. But if the issue is seen in some people, then I think it will be better to monitor those people and bring them to rehab for treatment because gambling is for entertainment we can banned this for just a few people's reason. Moreover when you did able to afford the funds for gambling and you do the gambling for the fun then I don't thing there is anything wrong.

Gamblers do not follow safe gambling tips, which is why they continue to have problems. Brazil recently banned more than 2000 betting sites due to a gambling pandemic. This demonstrates that the effect of gambling is more negative, and this is due to the fact that gamblers gamble for the wrong reasons. When a gambler gambles for the wrong reasons, he will pursue those reasons using the wrong methods, ruining his life financially and emotionally.

The majority of gamblers are currently in this state. I believe that betting sites should be programmed in such a way that gamblers are automatically restricted when they exceed certain limits and times. This is the only hope for gamblers. Relying on gamblers to demonstrate control has produced no positive results, which is why there are constant complaints from gamblers and cases of addiction.

Banning gambling will make the government miss out the revenue that will be coming from casino taxes and don't forget that casinos pay high in order to cover up their dirties. Some government that banned gambling have looked backed into it and they are no legalizing it because they have seen that some people ar still gambling with vpn in other casinos that are not in the country. Gambling is  part of human nature and people should be free to gamble but they should have self control over their gambling activities
Well, I like to emphasize a lot about casino games that do not allow them with VPN, I find it very interesting because in view of the things that they emphasize so much, some casinos do not understand that those who use VPN do so because they live in other countries and because they want to play, then they claim that according to the regulations they are not allowed to play, but what regulations? They are interested in making clients, who play, so for me the VPN thing is something that does not make sense, and even less in crypto, so the bans when they are by geographic part do not make sense, I see it as very primitive.

Most often, this is the narrative about gambling. Most people are there to double that money and some people quit immediately when it doesn't go well for them and but the majority don't know when to called a spade a spade and give it a rest. Like you see right in history you never make anything but refuse to quit until they become too addicted to leave the gambling.

Actually, gambling can't be banned, perhaps it can for some reason if there are instances of money laundering and not been licensed by the authority. Gambling has been there before now it wasn't banned than, even now, it wouldn't be banned because some people just want to be careless about it.

It's that these types of crimes will always exist, there is no way to avoid them, sometimes many think that it is not good to enter a casino because you can be an object of money laundering or criminals, but people use banks with fiat money and the biggest crimes and illegal things have happened with fiat money, since BTC and crypto technology came out along with crypto casinos then now everything moves around there, it may be that technology can facilitate some things because of how powerful it is, but it does not mean that they are guilty of promoting illegal acts, that is something that not everyone understands.

The fact that some states and countries have banned gambling indicates that your assertion is incorrect. The only reason it is difficult to ban gambling is that the government benefits from the bookies through taxation, and some top government officials receive royalties from the bookies, making it difficult to ban.

Gamblers' perceptions are not taken into consideration. The fact that some gamblers enjoy it does not explain why gambling is difficult to ban because, at the end of the day, the government only does what is in their best interests, not those of the citizens.

Maybe offline gambling can be prohibited, but I think online gambling is very difficult to prohibit, even if it is prohibited by restricting access to gambling. However, there are many ways to gamble online. Even though it is prohibited by the government, although it is limited, it can still be done, even if it is done in secret.

Probably gambling cannot be banned until the casinos themselves want it. After all, legislative bans of countries do not work in relation to casinos at all. You can always turn on VPN and bypass all bans.

Of course, using methods like using VPNs, one can reach services that may be legally banned in some states – including the online gambling services. This demonstrates simply how pliable the internet is, and why the legislative prohibitions remain challenging to enforce when the world is global and digital. But then again this calls for one to be very much in touch with the effects that can result from such activities all in the name of flexibility. What we are able to do is make more rational decisions about how we use the various technologies which are present if we take more time to understand the risks that are associated with gambling.

I agree that understanding the risks is a primary task, and even if someone is very smart and knows how to make VPN configurations, proxies, forge documents, this does not mean that this person will be successful in gambling. Self-control is needed, it is true. And no one can teach this, this is something that only comes with your own experience.

It is a fact that things are like that, mainly responsibility is one of the things that we should stick to the most, as for what we should do is the following, always ask if the casino accepts VPN or proxy, there are some that incredibly do accept them, I do not know how they do, but I have personally seen that there are casinos that do and that seems to me something very mature and that they are on another level, but in itself we should try something, if we seek to win and have our money well insured in a casino we must be prudent with our money, because without the money we can do absolutely nothing.

I recently encountered the fact that casinos always know whether you use a VPN or not. They somehow determine this, and I see this for the first time. They use some of their own algorithms, or something like that. So, I read stories that some casinos (unscrupulous ones) do not want to pay out winnings to players, based on the fact that they used a VPN. In my opinion, this is a dirty trick.

They should really start from the fact that if you enter a casino using a VPN, it doesn't matter how you enter, the point is that you entered and you prefer that casino over others, that is and should be a compliment, on the other hand, if they are governed by the Regulations it doesn't make sense, in all cases they use cryptocurrency, whether they want to or not , what matters is that people enter the casino, play and if they win then they should be paid , there they should not fail, if the player loses? then the casino still returns the funds ? obviously not.

And for bad casinos, this will be a great way to get to the gambler. After all, they like to look for reasons not to let you withdraw money, for example, they forced me to go through verification over and over again.

Minors don't gamble. There is a restriction that prevents them from gambling. Gambling is only for adults, according to my country's law, which defines an adult as someone who is 18 years or older. Gambling requires a certain level of mental maturity, which is why it is limited to adults.

However, current reality shows that most gamblers who are considered adults lack mental maturity, making it difficult for them to maintain self-control and financial discipline. These are the types of gamblers who are most susceptible to gambling addiction.

In the country where I live, betting among teenagers has become a real problem. They don't know when to stop and constantly lose money for lunch there, and those who are from rich families ask their parents. Of course, not everyone, but statistics show that the percentage of involvement is growing from year to year.

The same situation prevails among the youth of my country. They are getting so much addicted to gambling that they are considering it as their source of income and the big problem is that once they are addicted they can't recover from it. They don't even want to share their gambling with anyone. If this situation continues, adults as well as minors will become addicted to gambling and it will become known as an epidemic. I think gambling is not bad as long as it is under control. When it is unregulated, it has to be forced to take a decision to ban it.

Gambling cannot be controlled by the government, so how can it be banned? And if it does, it will be only officially but unofficially it will continue. So I am not excited about banning gambling. And if I say whether it should be banned or not, I will say that if someone does not want to gamble then he should stay away from gambling. Gambling is not compulsory for anyone. That is why I think there is no justification for adopting a policy like banning gambling which is not possible even if desired.

I do not see it that way. Without a doubt, the government does not control gambling; however, as long as gambling occurs within the government's jurisdiction, the government has the authority to decide whether or not gambling should continue. Bookies do not have the power to control the government, but the government that grants bookies a license to operate in their country has the authority to revoke that license and force them to cease operations.

The bookies pay royalties to ensure that the government does not revoke their licenses. In my opinion, this is why most governments, regardless of the impact of gambling on citizens, are not interested in prohibiting gambling because they do not want to lose the royalties they receive from bookies.

Well for me without a doubt a casino that does something like that is bad, because what they want is to somehow prevent the player from withdrawing, or harass them so that the player wants to play with those funds until they lose them, a casino should not hesitate when they want to withdraw, they must assume the consequences if a casino loses to a player, besides it is a normal part of this, it bothers me the casinos that put many obstacles when it comes to withdrawing because I see it as a lack of respect, it is something that I find very uncomfortable.

Nobody can ban gambling, not even the government because it aim nothing harm on us, its a form of having fun and we have to continue with doing this as long as we so wish to have it done, this is about our own personal interest and want, this is all about what we want and not what we see others do or get involved into, if others are doing it wring, we can chose to make it right in gambling.

Yeah, I agree with you that nobody can completely ban gambling because it’s such a widespread activity. Even if the government decides to ban gambling platforms in a certain country, people will always find ways to gamble, including going to places where it’s not prohibited.

gambling can be prohibited by government policy or government regulations made. However, as you said, there are various ways for those who like to gamble, so the government cannot prohibit it and then the community obeys it.

I think this will return to each of us, because we gamble also because of our own decisions. However, with the note that we must continue to gamble responsibly, because this is very risky.

I believe that some government officials are also gamblers, which is why the government does not think about outlawing gambling. The government would prefer to protect gambling sites at the expense of the public than to outlaw gambling sites for the benefit of the public. This is because even those policymakers who do not gamble profit from the royalties that these gambling sites pay to the government, and banning gambling sites would mean losing those royalties.

Another reason why the government finds it difficult to outlaw gambling is that the majority of gamblers do not agree that it should be prohibited. Since gambling has permeated our daily lives, you can decide whether or not to gamble. In either case, it is up to the individual to decide.  For an individual who has decided to gamble must understand that winning is not guaranteed, and he must be disciplined in his stake and mindset in order to avoid ruining his finances.

We can not completely ban gambling, even if the government deem fit for doing so, they cant achieve anything from it, there are many things more harmful than gambling and they have done nothing about them, instead, they should know that gambling is just a means of having fun, this is not what should be pictured as an illegal activities, since we are making use of our own personal earned money to gambling at our own will without anyone forcing us.

I "like" how people think: someone has troubles with gambling and addiction, someone dont have good self-control, some underaged get familiar with gambling, that is why they propose to ban it for everyone. I dont have problems with self-control, I can allow myself to spend money, I am coping with parenting well. Then why should I be limited or suffer punishment for other persons fails? That is weird and wrong logic.

I had troubles with chemistry class at school. Most of the times I failed at exams. Those fails made me nervous, aggressive. So I propose to ban chemistry classes, forbit chemistry as science and fire all teachers, and everyone who is involved with chemistry.

this is honestly such a good analogy just because it does not work for someone else does not mean that it would not work with anyone else if the majority of the gamblers do not find problem with gambling and can navigate through their life with ease even while still gambling then there should be no major restriction to prohibit everyone else from gambling

instead of restriction there should be a more widespread education and awareness project about gambling

I think this is already they are doing for a long period of time. If one country has to completely ban gambling, they can do it with ease byy their laws and penalty has to be real serious.

To some countries gambling is a big source of funds for the government. Whether gambling be banned completely or not, it's not for any of us to decide. But I would like gambling available for anyone wanted to just play.

Gambling ban does not work as it suppose to work. South Korea is a good example. Gambling is prohibited there. But it has so many nuances. For example betting on horse racing is allowed; lotteries are legal as well. Korean can gamble at the airport. There is Kangwon Land Casino where Korean are able to gamble, but they lose anonymity. And foreigners can freely gamble there. How all that suppose to work? And what stops citizens from going abroad and gamble. All that info is from open sources, and of course locals know hints and nobody cancels "shadow" casinos.

Anything that has an advantage,  also has a disadvantage.  But in betting, the disadvantage far outweighs the advantages. Because the fact that you bet always does not guarantee you winning everytime. Betting shouldn't be banned,  rather, it should be allowed to take its credence to those who are benefiting from it.  What is required from individuals,  is just restraint and discipline,  to avoid engaging in theft, because of betting. Students, or those who bet should understand that it's gambling,  there is a presumption that you must loose, so just discipline yourself,  so that you don't spend more than you earn.

Gambling is a form of entertainment for where you use your extra money to play slots or bet etc in the past there are less people gambling because you will go to the place before playing but know with the online gambling there are now many players and also minors can also access these gambling site maybe there should be a law or security that will prevent these minors from gambling because it is dangerous.

The government can ban gambling if gambling turn from social lifestyle to something people can't get their life over. Just imagine that today, everyone that gambles lose money in gambling and yet they are stuck with addiction, they can't get out and it seems like a cult that is very hard for people, the government can ban it because it looks like a harm.

Aside from that, the government can also ban some casinos under the regulations of gambling and regulatory board, it's something they can do because they have the power to do so. Also, in a country where there is dictatorship, their government can ban it.

I also think gambling has more disadvantages than advantages but it's good entertainment too. People should be responsible themselves while gambling and casinos should be strict on who they allow on their platform so immature minds do not get there.

The Govemment can not wake up and ban gambling just because few idiots are addicted and staking more than they can afford to lose, they can only impose some strictly taxes/rules to reduce the rate of active gambling activities. It's written everywhere and the gambling industry are creating awareness to only stake responsibly, dint come to their platform and start playing like your life depends on it. Gambling is for fun.

Just because some idiots are getting ruined doesn't mean some other people are not making a living out of it..

Yes you are right, gambling is a game of luck and there are people who are very lucky about the game while other aren't that favorable to gamble. Those who are lose won't used because they are losing and ban gambling but as you said, there could be stricter measures to implements towards gambling.

As we know, people are also making living  from it and they are entirely losing and even though they lose it's not completely empty and of course those who are becoming extremely wealthy through gambling are making it in life.
