Is gambling illegal?

[Obari]

Gambling cannot be illegal,they can't even stop people from gambling either.So many persons have employed themselves with gambling, therefore,nobody can wake up anyday to suggest gambling is something illegal.How ever,I'm aware some religions have that believe that gambling is a sin,but I can say that is the mentality of the primitive people,they don't follow trend,and forget about dwelling in the past.Gambling has it good side and it bad side,but I don't see it as something illegal.

I asked this question because most people tend to criticize gambling alot, and most gambling platforms has been banned by the government. I want to know if gambling is illegal.
And secondly why is football players not allowed to gamble ? Does this means that it is illegal?
Shear your ideas ob this guys....

First and foremost, gambling will be considered illegal if it is not regulated by the government and they don't secure the necessary papers to make it legal, at least that is the requirement here in our country.

About the football players banned from betting, i think that should be the way as games involving them will be considered rigged as they have the hand on the outcome of the game.
