Is this Philippines? It's too late because there are many licensed online gambling platforms and many politicians and big people are benefiting from this. Imagine a popular teen show in this country is also sponsored by a gambling platform so it's very impossible to happen. The whole economy is relying too much to online casinos/gambling platform so it's very rare for them to approve banning to it.

Afaik, we're the top 1 country that promotes gambling and I think this is not the solution for avoiding gambling addiction in the country, people will always find a way to gamble and besides even without online gambling, we can see people gamble on the streets so it's inevitable.
