Yes, the government will not stop just because people will make sure that their economy can run well. Maybe people need to support whatever the government does and wait and see what will happen later after the government applies it. If that can change better, then what we think is wrong because it is normal to have negative thinking before we know how good the result.
The governments can be so selfish and selfcentered at times, as risky as gambling is, if they try to regulate it, possibly, there will be the demand for taxes, which means if gamblers lose, they lose for nothing sake, but if they gain, the governments can make it mandatory to pay 10% tax of their gain. Gambling is too risky for such in my opinion. There are many gambling sites that are better and that I can make use of without any taxes being paid. If this is the case, then I can make use of them.
Of course, the government can do that because they have the power to force every business that does not follow their rule. Taking a 10% tax will not be a problem for the casino because I think that is not too big dependent on their profit. Yes, gambling is too risky, but I don't think that the gamblers will think about the risk. So when you can use the gambling site without being paid any taxes, that will be good for you. But I think the casino needs to help the government in the name of helping other people in this pandemic.
