Yeah and not just because they are gaining revenue but also what is the effect for those gamblers that has no self control.
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.
There are cases like that but I think the majority of the crimes are not related to gambling so even if the government focuses on gambling addiction, there would still be a lot of crimes that are actually bigger than gambling-related crimes happening around them. Also, not all who commits crime uses their money for gambling or any other vices. But for those who do such terrible things for gambling, that's already a result of addiction.
Crime related to gambling is out of the chart cause it only occurred when there is no rules and restrictions which casino have to pursue to customer/user that is already gambling addict and if you check all online/physical casino they have the policy to help addicted customer to gamble responsibly.
something else to take into consideration is that tourists sometimes have more disposable income and are more willing to spend when travelling abroad them people who live in the country.
anybody knows more websites where we can get reliable stats (like each industry income and revenue) on several sectors besides gambling, separate per country?
I don't think there is a site that provides such information but which sectors are you saying in particular?
