You're right this is a bit too much. The way I see it they're throwing the baby out with the bathwater. They don't want people to scam newcomers by giving them a false sense of security in a casino, pretending that it's easy to win and as a result making those newbies lose money. Not allowing to post your wins at all it going too far because this is like telling people to shut up and not discuss anything. We are allowed to discuss politics, history, new technologies, but can't share our wins in a casino? Can we even say that we were in a casino? What's next, they won't allow you to say who you voted for or that you own a gun?
This is stupid and I've never seen a country actually ban free speech this way.

Don't post crappy things here if you don't understand everything. Did you even take the time to read the article? Or do you know what's the status of promoting online gambling in PH? The proposed bill is not stupid at all if you will not just read the title of this thread.

There are lots of online influencers already who promote gambling in PH. These streamers didn't even think twice but just for the content, they will promote several different gambling sites, even though some are not officially registered to the country's main gambling bureau which is PAGCOR. In case of a scam, these streamers will just hide for several weeks and then go back again streaming like nothing happened.

It's stupid to think that by posting your wins, you will go to jail. Please understand the proposed bill first before reacting.

In my opinion, it seems to me that you are not understanding the seriousness of this bill that this senator is proposing. In short, the senator is proposing a law that aims to ban gambling, there is no better word than that: "ban", he just didn't use the word ban gambling because that would generate some political problem, but in This bill, if approved, will ban all gambling. Think about how any gambling company will function if advertising about gambling is prohibited? It is very clear that the bill bans gambling and this is also something that will deter any citizen of this country from participating in anything that involves gambling. Look at this:

The lawmaker said the proposed legislation is deemed instrumental to lessen, if not at all eliminate, the exposure and impact of gambling to the general public, especially the youth, that brings lasting damage to individuals, families, and even communities.

Padilla noted the links of gambling to addiction, criminal activities, and social issues that destroy the moral fiber of the nation.

Under Section 4 of SB 2602, the Department of Justice (DOJ) will be tasked to issue a disabling order to restrict or block access to gambling-related content with notice to the Department of Information and Communications and National Telecommunications Commission to monitor compliance.

It also tasks service providers to comply with the disabling order within 48 hours of DOJ's issuance of an order.

Any person who will be found publishing gambling-related content may face sis months to one year imprisonment or a fine ranging from P300,000 to P500,000.

If the violator has linked the online content to an online gambling site or has received any form of remuneration or commissions for publishing gambling-related online content, a maximum penalty of three years jail time and fine of P500,000 will be imposed.

If the offender is a juridical person, a maximum penalty of three years imprisonment and a fine of P500,000 will be imposed on the president, director, manager or managing partners, and or responsible officers. –VAL, GMA Integrated News

In other words, with this bill, if it is approved (I don't know if it hasn't been approved yet), they will be banning all games of chance in that country and also all citizens of that country who are found participating in any signature campaign that involves games of chance. they will be punished. In my opinion it is clear that they are banning gambling, I don't know why they are not direct and do not say that gambling will be banned. In any case, it is up to politicians to make the laws, in this case it is the senators and deputies who are elected by the people. but it is also necessary to see who these senators are, if they are very honest people, because in part of this article this senator says that gambling destroys the morale of a nation, I suppose he is a very ethical and moral person. I don't know him so I'm not going to condemn him, but I think he's wrong when he says that gambling destroys society's morals
