You are a core gambler,I mean you have a reserved or particular time that you use in gambling everyday, just the way some of us are,we even add gambling expenses to our monthly budget because we gamble to entertain ourselves.
A new government came into power, and enacted a law that nobody should gamble anymore in the country i.e gambling becomes illegal. Will you just behave yourself and abide to this new law that is depriving you from having fun as a good citizen ? or will you ignore the law and keep on gambling since there are online casinos that you can gamble secretly with your mobile phones with out no one knowing ?
In my case, I would give it up, as I only gamble from time to time. It wouldn't cost me much to quit, unlike people we see commenting on this board.
This would not put an end to gambling because in places where it is banned it is not eradicated, it is simply controlled by mafias instead of being supervised by governments.
In my country gambling is already illegal -and there are punishments and there are strict laws for the gambling
But the gambling market is on fire - people are gambling online and they are finding ways to dodge the concerned authorities and on the other side they are bringing huge revenue to the country
Here is an example of what I was saying, which can be applied to other sectors such as drugs or prostitution.
