Many countries prohibit gambling, to the extent that they do not licence any casino in their country. This however did not completely prevent the citizens of such countries from gambling. They go extra miles by using hidden or rerouted IP addresses to gamble. Even when the casinos block these users they keep attempting to cheat both their country's law and the casino.
Also, many countries have official gambling age but their citizens also violate this age standard.
All these abnormal ways of gambling promote gambling abuse and possible addiction which further makes gambling a societal menace.
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?
About the violation of age standard, I think this on the casino, it shows how their KYC compliance system sucks, if they are using the strict KYC system, no any under age can bypass it, a strict KYC system does not ask for your valid identity card only, they wil ask you to provide your ID + yourself holding the ID on your right or the left hand, and they will make sure that you don't upload a old picture because their system will only give acesss to your camera without the gallery option where you can upload old pictures, you can't cheat this KYC system.
If any countries doesn't allow casinos to run in their land it's not a bad thing generally, maybe the government of such country sees things differently? Because the truth is somehow gambling companies are just reaping people off, and the only reason why some countries allow casinos to run is because they are also benefiting from those casinos, so to me, if a country says no to casinos it's not bad at all, the rules, laws and religion of everycountries are different.
You might not like this but there is nothing educative about gambling, losing money is a 95% certainty in gambling, what is there to educate people about? That they should use only what they can afford to lose? You decide to roll a few buttons online and turn $10 into $1000, that's without breaking a sweat, you don't have to be lectured that losing money doing this is the most assured result. You fall for it using big money shows you are an idiot, even older people knows this, when you don't sweat for the money, it's either gambling or fraud.
