Yes, on the note that even government ban this gambling practitioner will continue to play and will keep on looking for available venue to bet in, while for those who also supporting it due to their culture or it was been part of tradition they will just keep it alive,and for sure more gambling bankers would love to finance setup like this as they will continue to make money from those people or gamblers that will continue to bet and support cockfighting games.
This is clear because cockfighting gambling practitioners are interconnected and can easily find cockfighting venues. They may also already have a cockfighting schedule, so they must have prepared everything before they went to the location. Gambling banks are also trying to provide cockfighting venues, considering many people still want to bet on cockfighting. And there may be government parties who hide these illegal things so they can continue.
Since cock fighting is an unpopular games, the players who also participate will be unpopular and only connect to each other through special means of communications, this is very important and straight for anyone to see and understand properly, although i have not seen such games in real live before and cockfighting sound unpopular to me at this point since this game is seen as illegal in my jurisdictions.
So for that, a few time i have to just read about it online and also watch some videos about cockfights, but even at that, the game is highly unpopular and its research results are not easy to come by at some point so this makes it hard for us to properly understand what the risk for this game is and how to handle them and what are their revenue generation or threat to an animals life.
