I came across news that there’s a senator pushing to ban gambling in our country.
So I’d like to ask fellow gamblers here, do you think this move is justified? Or is it too harsh?
Since it’s a senator’s move and not the President, they will have to do a debate and deliberation on this If banning is justified, it will be based on fact and weigh the cons and the pros.
We all know that gambling is addictive by nature. No matter our financial status, anyone can fall into addiction. But is banning it entirely really the only solution?
And what could be the possible consequences if gambling were banned in a country? Can you share some thoughts or examples?
The only consequence I am aware of is the taxes; gambling is considered a vice, similar to cigars and liquor, which is why the government imposes heavy taxes and regulations. This is why the government has to reallocate the budget to sectors that benefit from the taxes.
