one side there is personal awareness, on the other hand there is a need for govt regulation.
I think that the issue of gambling regulations is one that government has taken enough action as there are laws guidelines and regulations about how gambling companies should be set up and even for gambler's so the issue of gambling addiction and abuse is a personal matter because if all gambler's follows the law down principles about gambling there will not be any abuse of gambling
A gambler's control over his gambling depends entirely on his personal decision. No matter how many restrictions the government imposes, every gambler can gamble secretly. Staying away from gambling depends entirely on himself. If the gambler can develop his mentality correctly, then he will definitely be able to stay away from this addiction, but if he does not want to stay away from gambling, then nothing can force him to stay away from gambling.
