So what do you think about this new tax regime of gambling profit in Zimbabwe!

African countries are gradually becoming ridiculous, I will say this act is not a welcome development, there are many loses in gambling each day that pases by. Government don't refund the money lost but removes tax from win, that's daylight fraud. It would have been better if government refund gambling loses and also take profit from win. Not only focusing on the positive side.

How did they come up with the idea of taking taxes from gamblers? What scheme have they introduced for gamblers where gamblers will improve or how can they benefit in any way? If the government wants to discourage it, that is their business, but if they impose such taxes, it will never be beneficial for gamblers. When a gambler has a lot of losses, if he has to pay that money to the government treasury after making a small profit on a bet, how will he manage his next gambling? If such an unreasonable policy is taken, even if it lasts for a few days, it will definitely stop in the long run.

You really think their motive is to discourage people from gambling? This political guys just want to steal from gamblers. If any government is going to tax gamblers' earnings, then they should also put in place laws that would protect gamblers and ensure fairness between gamblers and casinos. In most countries, these laws are weak and nothing at all is done by the government when conflicts arise between the gambling platforms and the gamblers. I am certain that the Zimbabwean government is not in anyway interested in the welfare of the gamblers. Lots of gamblers would definitely look for alternatives just to avoid paying tax.
