I would never gamble in my country physically if it was illegal, also in my country gambling is so far illegal from some years now though most people I see in coffee shops and ex lotto pubs that they keep playing by using alternative links of Bet365 for example, also many of the crypto users like me play in casinos that the state does not know that they exist or are not as popular in the country as to warrant a ban against them. So yes I keep playing in all major casinos and sport bookies that do not have the word "bet" in their name of their website like the casino in my signature or other similar ones. Anyway in the context of the story the person already knew and the fact that he didn't care because he thought he would never get caught, I am not defending him, he should not have wagered near 200 million dollars and think that he would go unnoticed, lots of tax evasion I guess in here.
