gambling is often seen as a harmful habit. my question to you is, in a completely free society, should someone be prevented from providing gambling services for the good of society?
from an individual point of view, it is everyone's choice to gamble or not to gamble. the management of your money is entirely up to you in a physical sense. but that doesn't change the fact that some people are going to go bankrupt, their lives are going to be very difficult with the existence of gambling. if it was up to you to allow gambling, knowing that it is inevitable when enough people are involved in gambling, would you consider it ethical?
do you think that things that can harm a person through their choices should be prevented, or is everyone responsible for their own decisions as long as they are not forced to make them?
honestly we live in an era where we have to be ready to be responsible for whatever we choose and do, outside intervention is only to strengthen our decisions, and in gambling everyone actually has the right to do and not do it with one condition as long as it does not harm people around. what is dangerous is when we gamble then get addicted to gambling and steal or commit other crimes for the sake of gambling, that is a very dangerous thing and it is unethical.
