Recently many countries around the world are now introducing gambling taxation on it citizens and even charging betting houses and casino's some amount of money to operate within it jurisdiction, and recently my country just introduced a 5% Revenue sharing and taking from both betting houses and gambler's winning and this news make me to ask why the government takes such money from gambler's but won't protect the gambler when their is troubles with the betting house.
Because we have loads of cases where gambler's win some huge amount of money and the casino refusing to pay and when reported to the authority you here such things like the casino is not licenced by them or they don't have control over the casino case, the government is only interested in the tax and not protecting the interest of it citizens.
Your question is valid but by now it has become clear that the government is just after the money.
A lot of money is being flown out into gambling. The government is trying to reap out money from whatever they can.
You're right that a lot of gambling accusations are being raised but there are no stringent measures being taken against them.
If the government is taking money from our profits then they should also help us when we are in trouble.
It should be a two way thing but it isn't and that will only change when we raise our voices and ask for our rights.
