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
No one support this way of the game play by the government,being a gambler no one will like this.The government will made the law against the gambling,only if they face the bad economy based on their population.If the country is the developing country,most probably they ban the gambling in their country.Because the reason behind this the government doesn’t like their citizen use their earning in the gambling sites.
