In a country where gambling is prohibited, if a person of law can visit someone who is addicted to gambling, then he is given legal punishment. I think does not fix this act
I also don't support such behavior of government where gamblers will be punished if they get catched by law. But each county has different point of views depends on their economy, religious prospective, their culture and others which make them to develop law for welfare of their people. There are many gambler who try to change their luck by gambling, after losing they involving criminal activities for manage money for gambling. Maybe thats the reason why some governments develop this law for gambling as publishable offence. So better to keep it secret for them who belongs to those countries where law don't allow gambling legally
Yes, it's true, not all gamblers should be punished just like that, I mean it depends on how big a mistake they made in gambling. If he makes a mistake in his family then the appropriate punishment for him is to think he will make a mistake or be abandoned by his children and wife. However, if he makes a mistake in his surroundings, for example stealing or keeping money, of course that is a criminal offense and must be handed over to the police for punishment, if left unchecked he will do the same thing. in the future.
I agree with you, it's a good idea for us to keep the gambling we do a secret so that other people don't know about it and it doesn't cause new problems in our lives.
