1. Gambling in fact has many negative externalities. If someone gets addicted, the likelihood is much higher to be depressed. Depression is factor, which leads to high costs for the society.

2. Gambling addiction leads to economic costs because of crime actions. Other market actors have to increase their security standards, which means higher costs.

3. Many gambling addicts go as a consequence to jail. Jail means EXTREMELY high costs to society.

What are your thoughts on this topic?

this is a life cycle for me and the government has to be ready for this
Countries that receive gambling taxes should not think about the costs that will be incurred on gambling addicts or gambling prisoners

If the economy doesn't want to be disturbed by gambling, then what's the use of the government?
After all, the government should protect their citizens

The country can facilitate the addiction to gambling in the rehabilitation center to solve the addicted problem. Maybe that can help addicted gambler to reduce their fee to cure the addiction. If they can do that like what they did with the addicted to the drug, maybe addicted people in gambling will want to go to that medical center and help them cure the addiction. And yes, addiction to gambling can leads to economic costs increase personally because the addicted gambler will use more money to gamble without thinking about how to cure their addiction.
