The government are just concerned in their citizens that is why they are creating these regulations as you said but we can't just say that it is the government's fault of having these loopholes since people are also finding a way to walk around that regulations. Also, it doens't just fall to the government's hands, it also falls to these gamblers how would they behave and control their bettings.
As from my personal experience, many gamblers are hard with that task. For many of them this is impossible burden. So only government can do something about that. As i said many times above, neither casino or gamblers are interested to be more calm in betting. For first this is business, for second - way of life and their main drug.

I agree. I do realized that I am addicted in gambling in the past but I guess that is also the product of the pokes, jokes and even gossips to/about me. With the support of my partner, I have that will to stop that addiction and attend some therapies to help. Luckily I am not that deep in the scale, unless people are not putting attention to these people, they won't go out there alone.
