Instead of outrightly banning gambling, how about if the concerned countries officially include gambling education in their academic syllabus, just like sex education is taught in schools. Gambling education will teach the young ones the dangers of gambling and promote moderation in gambling. Will this not be a better way to handle the gambling cases?
I agree with this line of thought. It should be normalize and kids from age fourteen should go through a class on gambling. It is vitally important exposing them to not only the dangers of gambling addiction but helping them to know how they can be part of the solution would be highly commendable.
but since we as humans would rather focus on the cure rather than prevention, it would be difficult to have gambling taught in class rooms as a course.
