My question now is are there any moral, ethical or legal obligation to bar a person from gambling after physically observing that he is mentally unstable?

If the office of the gambling platform has it in their policy and it is approved by the authorities then they can implement it, It is a legal obligation but not a moral obligation, and it's unethical, it takes a professional physician to check if the bettor is physically fit to be in the vicinity but as long as he is harmless and he is minding his own business then there's no reason to bar him from betting.
