Whether gambling is legal or illegal depends on the location of each country. For example, gambling in my country is completely illegal, whoever gambles from this country may face administrative trouble if the government finds out about it. Also gambling is illegal in my country if anyone finds out from my country a gambler is not respected by anyone and is always looked down upon. I can't agree with you about football players not being allowed to gamble because a few days ago I saw Neymar lose about 50 million dollars from a single bet. I don't want the news to be false or false but if football players are not allowed to play then how Neymar participated in the game and lost. I don't know for sure if football players are not allowed to gamble.

Gambling is legal depending on your jurisdiction and geopolitical zone so far in my country everyone is permitted to gamble except underage and even most of the underage goes to physical local betting shops to place their bets knowing too well that they would be restricted gambling direct through their website and when huge money is won they could be asked to submit their kyc to pass for them to have access to withdraw money.

For about players well I think this is a natural law that binds with them so that wouldn't pass personal information among themselves or someone playing against their team due to personal interest to cash bit time on their bets. There may be other reason but above is what I thought is the cause why they are limited to gamble.

The country that you live in will determine if gambling is legal or not. In most Islamic countries gambling is illegal, and you dare not gamble in such countries. Online casinos can also restrict the countries that will gamble in their sites, due to some reasons from the country government, or from the casino.

Players are not allowed to gamble because they will allow themselves be controlled by their bet, and that will not bring out the best result in the match. It will kill the fun in the game and the uniqueness of the league.

The legality or illegality of gambling depends on the country. I know that in countries like the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Poland and Cambodia gambling is considered illegal. In my country (Nigeria), gambling is legal.

On the issue of players being prohibited from gambling, I think it is to guard against players fixing matches.

How can bettors trust them when they are betting in gambling? they can even drop the game just to change the outcome.

this is like a casino employee and their family is never allow to gamble in the casino they are working,

Aside from what other people said, few country may make gambling only legal on certain location. For example, gambling is mostly illegal China, but it's legal on Macau (one of special administrative region on China).

The reasoning is similar why insider trading or usage of insider information is illegal.

It depends on your location and how the government looks at gambling, here in our country gambling is legal but regulated, and our government benefits a lot from gambling because they are the one running the casinos and the lotteries all the taxes from bets and winnings the government gets a cut, what is illegal and evil in one country is a blessing and legal in another country.

Do they really are not allowed to gamble? Or they are not allowed to bet on the matches their team takes part in? It is obvious why they are not allowed to bet on the game they take part in, but I have never heard that they are not allowed to gamble. I mean why should they? They are free to do whatever they want with their money.

As to gambling being illegal? Depends on the country, but most countries prefer their local casinos (and licenses) over foreign online casinos. For example my internet provider blocks most of online casinos, but allow all that have country domains. As long as casinos pay taxes, I see nothing illegal that they would do.

Gambling can either be legal or illegal. Legal when it is approved and regulated by the government and otherwise it would be considered as against the law hence illegal. There are many forms of gambling and this is quite true these days because of the proliferation of online platforms offering gambling services to many people. Here in my place, gambling is very much regulated but it does not mean that illegal forms are not flourishing as there are many operators here offering gambling forms to their loyal patrons. Illegal forms are always running from the law enforcers but many are still doing it because the money that can be made in gambling can be good and so attractive. As to the question why "football players not allowed to gamble" I would say that there can be a big conflict of interest with that situation...and that is why sports players are not allowed to get into gambling and rules are quite strict on this matter.

What would be reasons or origin why football players are not allowed to gamble? If they place a bet on their game, then they can lose on purpose or show bad performance to win a bet. That is why thing. But why would a football player not be allowed to play poker or blackjack for example? Sound illogical.

Regards gambling being illegal (in general). Where is the logic behind that? Because it is criticized and has bad reputation? That is not the reason to make something legal or illegal.

The question of regulation is also linked to the debate over whether gambling should be legalized in order to generate income for the government. Some governments consider gambling as a way to produce earnings from taxes, which is then used to pay services to the public. Others feel that this is an unfair approach to fund the government because it frequently harms those who cannot afford to gamble.

Some countries, such as Singapore, have used gambling money to fund social projects and enhance the standard of living for its residents. Others, like as Thailand, have completely prohibited gaming in an effort to combat corruption and criminality. The legality of gambling is sometimes difficult and passionately discussed.

You are right. States like Hawaii and Utah prohibit gambling whereas other States permit some form of gambling in the United States.
