Governments and several organisations work to encourage responsible gaming. This involves establishing betting restrictions, offering support to those who think they have a gambling problem, and participating in self-exclusion programmes.
And that's right. Complete freedom doesn't make people happy, control is needed. All adults are grown children, and everyone has their own development. Someone stops at 16 and lives like that their whole life with the mentality of a child. And such people need protection from casinos and betting. We need regulators who won't let them lose all their money.
Maybe someone will say that everyone should be given freedom, but I come to such people to think about children whose parents are problem gamblers. This needs to be regulated.
