Here in our place, any physical form of gambling is not allowed (only in our city because in nearby cities it's not prohibited). If you're caught playing you will have to pay the fine or worse you'll get imprison. Thus the only way to gamble is through online since it's not restricted.
I'm not a core gambler and though I set aside a money meant for leisure monthly, it doesnt mean I cant stop my gambling activity if it's already prohibited. I only gamble for fun thus it's also not hard to stop if necessary because there are also other ways to entertain ourselves.
You still have to be careful because gambling is no longer allowed in your place because there is no guarantee that online gambling will still be allowed.
You also have to be prepared if one day the government bans online gambling and if that happens, you will stop altogether because of the ban.
And if you want to continue gambling, it won't be easy because the government will always keep an eye on its citizens.
Playing gambling for fun will be okay but you also have to have other activities so you don't use gambling to fill your spare time.
