o matter how rich I get, I do not think I would be risking throwing away $30 million. I am also sure that the French authorities are making moves after this ridiculous amount of money betted to prevent encouraging their citizens from following in the gambler's footsteps. But I think instead of punishing the platform, the government should focus on how can they 'control' their citizens' gambling habits. Focusing on one platform will not eradicate people who would continue to bet this huge amount of money.

The important thing about this aspect is if a person is using the amount that they can afford to loose to gamble, if a person can afford to loose $30m in gambling, which sounds outrageous anyway, then let him go ahead. If you can not afford to loose $1 then there's no need using it to gamble, that is the summary of the matter for me. There is nothing much that the french government or any other country can do about excessive gambling or gambling addiction, except they want to ban it in their country. If you mandate the limit for gambling, desperate gamblers will find ways to bypass the law so the only thing that authorities can do is to advocate for responsible gambling.

Rightly said one should not go beyond one's means in gambling, no matter how rich a person is gambling involves risk. If he could not afford to lose he might not have bet so much but it is better not to use such a large amount in gambling. If it continues like this an impossible and uncontrollable need for gambling is created in the mind which becomes an addiction. The government can't do anything even if it wants to. Responsible gambling involves following certain principles that help players maintain control over their actions and recognize the risks involved. Strictly adhere to the rules in setting limits and determining your gambling budget.
