People are encouraged to cheat the government because of their unfair policies and restrictions. Of course, I won't say it is a good idea, but if we think this could give fairness, then I support it.
Indeed, the government doesn't consider how it affects people's lives like they own it. I understand their interest in doing this, but they also have to consider people who want to gamble. Because the more they become strict on gambling, the more people think they are abused and will find ways (illegal) to pursue their wants.
