I don't understand why everyone went after the clickbait-ish title of that article and continues to say closed and shutting down!

The topic title doesn’t actually say the gambling industry is banned, and yeah, it’s true they shut down 2,000 online gambling sites or restricted access to them.

Shutting down and blocking something is completely different.
Facebook is banned and blocked in China, Chipmixer was closed down, you can see the difference from the space shuttle.
The most important thing in this is that they didn't even care about those websites and didn't bother with them case by case, they told everyone to get licensed, and whoever gets one is unblocked the rest will stay on that list, and the authorities seem to not care a bit on anything else.

If a person stops playing, then taxes will not be collected from him, and the casinos themselves will not receive income and the state will not receive anything for the treasury. So think about this fact.

It's false, if a guy plays $100 and loses it in a casino the government will get a bit of it from the tax they collect, but if he stops playing it doesn't mean he will burn those $100, he will buy stuff with it and then the government will get VAT and the profit from the merchants who sold him the stuff.
Just because somebody stops playing with money doesn't mean that amount evaporates from the economy.
