The newly elected President Rodrigo Duterte wants to stop the online gambling here in the Philippines. Its because they cannot collect tax from it and they don't want people to become addicted to it. What is your side ?
And what's next? Banning the use of bitcoin because banks don't regulate it? I gamble sometimes for fun but I don't think government should ban gambling. They can implement a way to collect tax from it if that is what they want or put a surveilance if they want to moderate it but banning? I think that's ridiculous.
Yeah, poor countries' policy are ridiculous, like PH and China, they ban online gambling, China bans bitcoin for many times, but actually can't ban totally, it is impossible unless they cut down the internet connection.
