When many people get addicted to gambling, that will become a serious matter to the government because it can trigger another problem. The level of crime can also increase, so the government should think much about that.
In reality, the government has nothing to do with that. The post-gambling effect is a behavior that only a gambler knows.
Some of them don't Know about post-gambling effect because they had been lured just for having fun and not warned about the Bad effect in case.
Crime related to gambling can't be controlled by the government no matter how strict the regulation is.
I think strict more can limit not totally controlled ,If the Losing amount will be limited then the chance of being engaged into more gambling will be lessen, make the limit depend on the People status and capacity in life,this will be a good action if well implemented ,
What the government's concern is illegal gambling operators and that's a big problem compared to that gambling behavior related stuff.
If the government is serious? this can be beaten by the government but the problem is even their own people are inside this illegal operation and there is the problem stick .
