Maybe they shouldn't lose their license because of this, it's their wish to accept bets on anything they want but at the same time accepting bets on this isn't ethical. They may earn some money at the moment but I think it will be a dark spot in their business. Every business and yeah, casinos too, need to take care of their customers and respect the society, do activities that will benefit the society and increase their social status positively. Accepting bets on covid, to my mind will make their status very negative because there are a lot of people who has siblings, friends, that were a victim of covid pandemic and earning money from it, you know, is terrible.
Yes you are right, this is very unethical, we should not bet in this kind of game, let us not tolerate it, boycott that game, it is not related to sports though, and let us consider that people are suffering all over the world and here we are making a bets for covid? That is so unethical work of them just to earn money.
I agree. Just placing a bet won't make anyone heartless. Gambling sites allow users to make bets on most of the topics that affect them, and not just sporting events. And making a bet is not going to make the pandemic any worse or better. It is the duty of the WHO and the national agencies to make sure that the pandemic remains contained. No need to blame the gamblers for this, when they are unable to do their job.
Still I don't think this is a good game to place our bets, this is only for my perspective without emotional attachments, they could do other things that can attract gamblers in fun things rather than this topic, this is sensitive.
