Government regulations will be much more real and can be felt if they are violated because the laws that will apply will also be in accordance with the provisions in the law, this will be very different from laws or prohibitions in religion.
Moreover, many people will continue to violate it because in reality prohibition or rule is made to be broken and no one can avoid it.
In government regulations that clearly have real punishments, there are still many people who are negligent and violate them, especially regarding religious laws that will only be given consequences based on their respective beliefs.
In the country I live in and even in several other countries, gambling is an activity that is prohibited and has many quite strict rules, but in reality there are still many of us who are gambling fans and we can still freely access gambling sites because there are several individuals who receive special taxes for gambling.
The prohibition on gambling is just written prohibition and all of this will continue to happen forever so that gambling becomes an activity that cannot be completely avoided by everyone in all countries.
Gambling will not always be detrimental and will not always make other people feel the impact because it all depends on the attitude have in implementing gambling.
Whether it good or bad depends on the mindset and how the gambler himself has sense of responsibility and care for himself.
That is why the government tries to tighten its regulations if the government is a country that prohibits gambling so that people don't play. But even though there is a ban, it doesn't stop people from continuing to gamble, especially those who are used to gambling, who will look for underground casinos. And this underground casino will always be busy with people who want to gamble secretly. They are not afraid of the ban and still visit the casino because they are very used to gambling at the casino. And there is some protection from corrupt authorities to protect casinos from being tracked by authorities in their efforts to enforce regulations and laws. And the existence of physical casinos makes it even easier for gamblers to gamble because they can play from home without anyone knowing, so the ban is just a ban that doesn't mean anything to them because they don't visit physical casinos either.
As long as people can use gambling as entertainment, they will not experience any problems or impacts. But what happens is that people think about making money from gambling so that's what gets a lot of people into trouble. And the number of people will increase if they do not have self-control and a sense of responsibility towards themselves.
