I am just kind of curious how legalized gambling is coming along in whatever part of the world you live in? I'm from Illinois in the United States and we just recently legalized many forms of gambling. It's progressing pretty quickly too. I'm hearing a lot of radio ads, seeing ads on TV for different sports books and what not etc. I see this as great progress. Free will is something we all deserve and though I know gambling can cause serious addiction etc, that shouldn't be up to our governments to decide whether we should be allowed to do it or not.
So I ask you, how is it coming along where you live? Is it fully legal, coming close to being legal, or illegal with no change in sight?
Offline casinos are prohibited in my country. There are several territories where they are legal, but these territories are located in hard-to-reach places.
Slot machines are also banned in public places. This is due to the fact that previously this activity was not regulated in any way. There were slot machines in the metro and at the entrance to grocery stores. The pensioners did not have the opportunity to buy food for themselves. They lost their pension and a small financial aid from their grandchildren in slot machines.
Government lotteries are legal in my country.
Online casinos are not controlled because they are located in the virtual space, and the servers are located on the territory of foreign countries.
