This law has good intentions but it is still lack basis for the gamblers. I understand that they are trying to save those gamblers who are having financial problems but I think this is not the solution, they can try to provide professional help for those gamblers maybe, but they are trying to pass a law that has so many loopholes.

And the law can affect the casinos and other gamblers too. I may not have the right solution but I hope they can really find the best one for their good intentions, but I think this ain't it.

I do not see any good intentions in considering an adult as incompetent. I think that this is a limitation in rights and quite serious - in fact, we have to prove/obtain permission to use our own money. I think this is a step towards totalitarianism. I am sure that if the government does not receive a rebuff with such initiatives, then it continues to invade all spheres of life and dictate conditions (often absurd), of course, "with the best of intentions."
This is something that we shouldn't be done. Our own hard-earned money is something that we should freely use. If this law will make require us to prove and obtain permission to use our money, then it seems that they don't have any good intentions. It will look like "our money, is their money."

I know right?

It is our money, why should we even ask them permission how we will use that? If we buy a lot of things in a grocery, they don't require us to ask them a permission, isn't it? Maybe that is because of how they can get taxes on that grocery while on the money we lost in gamlbing, they can't get anything. That is why it is better to use cryptocurrency.

I agree that it is our money and should be able to use it freely but if our gambling habit endangers ourselves or our family because of financial instability because of gambling then I would happily comply to the law. I know the law sounds restrictive but it is actually for our own good.

buying grocery and gambling is two different things and it has nothing to do with tax. I hope you realize that there are tons of people lose financial stability because of gambling and the cases is probably so bad that a government decided to act on it and put a law for it.
