Unsure of the direction of this thread but if you are saying that governments put in controls to help people I'd say it's minimal and I don't see an issue with that. It's like smoking cigarettes, not much countries are doing about that addiction either. I'd say it revolves mostly around all of the money they rake in from people's addicitions it's sad.
The government may promote responsible gambling but they never really make extra miles to control gambling addiction. It's like once you fall into gambling addiction, at least you should know how to get up and be responsible enough to manage your gambling addiction. As long as the government continue to discourage gambling addiction to the people, I think that action for them is already good enough. Without realizing that a lot of gamblers fall into gambling addiction because the government lacks in providing job opportunities for these gamblers that's why they turn into gambling to find a source of income.
