should gambling be completely banned?

[Igebotz]

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.

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.

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.
