It really depends on our gambling habit and how we think about it. Sad to say that most hopeless individuals (jobless, poor people) usually think that through gambling they will change. Unfortunately, it even brings them difficulties due to addiction. We can't make GCash or any platform stop promoting gambling because they will know that it was not their problem, but it was for the gambler. Unless the government imposes on them a ban on gambling. If we adapt Singapore's approach to how they handle gambling, that will surely it works effectively.

A reality that happened mostly from those who thinks that gambling is a easy place where if luck permits they will be compensated and it will give them decent amount to enjoy, while in the otherside, it's a easy way to get addicted and turned your life misserable as if made a big mistake you'll ruined not just just life but also those people who cares about you they also become involve with the messed that you bring into your life.

With those rampant growing numbers of online casino in PCSO under Philippines government should do strict regulation towards this online casinos.

Also they must released a educational videos towards fighting addiction or any gambling related bad incidents.

Right now its sad that government is sleeping towards this issue and I guess they are benefiting so much on the revenue what gambling owners could give to them. That's why they don't pay much attention on this growing issues. But somehow its good that some influencers are stepping up and they discourage lots of influencers to promote a online casino and somehow their call outs became effective since we see those big influencers slowly avoiding to promote online casinos on their platforms.
