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.
Here, a balance in regulation is simply necessary. For example, if the government clamps down too much on casinos, there will be fewer of them, but at the same time, players will not disappear completely, because there are always those who want to play. These people and casinos will simply create a gray market, will play as IP, create physical casinos that will be in basements or country houses, it will be extremely difficult to expose them. But at the same time, if you give too much freedom to gambling establishments, then all the streets of the city will be filled with advertising, people, the working class, students, old people will simply start playing and losing. This will become popular, as a result, cash flows will flow from the pockets of citizens to the pockets of casinos, I think it is bad when it has a very mass effect.
