Seeing the same, in the place where i live, government officials are also participating, especially those police who love this gambling. Gamblers are free to play since they are heavily protected.
Police professionals here in our country are not allowed to participate in any form of gambling, especially in gambling like cockfighting.
That was prohibited because it might lead to self-interest and abuse. It will lead to kicking on the service permanently.
You will never see police here playing that gambling game that's why as much as possible they are hiding their identities just to play this gambling game.
Yeah, they're not allowed to participate and enter the gambling premises. Whether it's cockfighting or any type of gambling activity, it's part of the public official's oath that they shouldn't engage in any type of gambling activity or else, when they're reported, they'll take a sanction.
That's for sure but it can't be stopped if there are police officers that are still gambling no matter what the rules and oath they've taken, if they're a gambler, they'll always be a gambler.
Those kind of rules are incredibly difficult to enforce as it is not as if those which due to their profession cannot gamble will actually tell everyone they are doing it, another example of this are athletes which are not supposed to gamble on matches in which they participate, with some leagues asking to not even make any kind of bet on the league or the sport at all, and yet we get to know many examples of this over the years, and those are only the ones which are caught as most likely there are many athletes which break the rules and we never find out about it.
