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?
Even though some countries have legalized gambling but when discussing gambling education it seems that this will be very difficult because it is true why sex education is taught but gambling education is not but actually the reason is quite simple when gambling education is held then indirectly this is not to minimize addicts but increase addicts because they (gamblers) will openly conduct gambling which will make the majority of citizens in a country become bigger gamblers.
On the other hand, until now, almost all countries do not allow gambling except in some places that have become special places for gambling in order to minimize people gambling but with the existence of several online sites that are rampant today, especially if there is gambling education, this will indirectly smooth out people's plans to gamble legally.
