i saw a post here once asking about whether banning gambling will actually solve some problems. well even with gambling deemed illegal, it has not completely disappeared from a country. for example, in north korea gambling is illegal for its citizens.

but there are still gambling events that take place most often organized by some authorities or really rich and powerful people. i guess that making gambling illegal is just a way to make it less accessible to the general public but the rich always finds a way.

there was even a case where north koreans are targeting foreigners and selling them their own made gambling platforms. North Korean IT workers created and sold thousands of illegal gambling websites to South Korean criminals to raise billions of dollars

keep in mind that gambling is also illegal in south korea. so my point is, everyone eventually finds a way.

I do not believe that banning gambling will do anything of any use. People who will want to gamble, will gamble, whether their countries allow it or not.

The governments should be smarter and instead of plainly putting a blanket ban on it, the better way would be regulating it and making it safer for people. But ignorant governments would rather pretend the bans work and leave their population to the dangers of shady, dangerous, black market casinos.

It is in human nature to want to gamble and going against that is going against human nature.

That being said, I am surprised that anyone in their right mind would buy any kind of code from North Korea. There is probably spyware or something else included.
