The government can not stop jobless person seeks money from gambling games because they think that they will have a chance to make money from that.
That's wrong, the government can stop them by banning a casino or a gambling platform.
A jobless person seeking some relief from gambling, I don't think that would solve the problem, instead it will only make the problem worst.
First it did violate the rule of "gamble what you can afford to lose only" these people are jobless, hence they should not be allowed to gamble.
Of course, the government can stop them by banning the casino, but I do not think that person will stop to search for the other casino which will allow them to continue playing gambling.
in other words the government cant stop the person that wants to gamble because if they ban one or two sites there are still three of four that are available and if they still ban it there are still left , there are thousands of them and its not already possible for all of them to shutdown .
i have a better solution , why not the government conduct a mini lesson and the topic is gambling , they need to to teach poor people if what can gambling do to them and in the end of that lesson they will provide helpful package to the poor , jobs , money , groceries . to make them obey
Yes, it is difficult for the government to ban them because many other sites will run and operate out of their jurisdictions. That will be out of the government's hands and they can not do anything. Besides that, people can easily access the VPN to avoid the ban and continue playing gambling. That will be more difficult for the government to track them and know their people activity.
So far, the government is still trying to educate its people, but it is not yet maximal, especially in this pandemic situation, which will need more concern from the government.
