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?
There's no need for Gambling education just to teach society the pros and cons of gambling.
Everything about how to become a responsible gamber can just be taught to ourselves automatically without the need for separate education just only for that.
The problem is not the gambling itself but the person itself. I don't see why the country should allow that gambling education just for the sake of these people not turning into a gambler. Persons have different life status. Even there's a gambling education, it will just be treat just an ordinary subject by young ones. They will be even more eager to gamble if a main discussion about gambling will always be teach to them.
