should gambling be completely banned?

[Igebotz]

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.

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.

The reality is that gambling cannot be prohibited, especially if it uses online gambling. 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.

I completely agree with you that it should be so. But only honest good casinos will not pick on a player who decided to withdraw his deposit. 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.

Gambling has gotten out of hand these days many people especially influencers are promoting gambling these days and this can influence teens and minors to gamble they should make something to prevent minors from gambling because the effect of gambling addiction is very dangerous

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 banned, people should stop working on such assumption whether it will one day, even in countries where it is forbidden, people still manage to find a way of gambling without being noticed because they understand its a way of life and they needed to have it done in other for them to be able to enjoy their pleasure time, even those in government do gamble despite some of us are unaware of what transpired within their circle.

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.
