I don't understand how people will be restricted in a country not to gamble, it's not north Korea for crying out loud where you receive death threat if you gamble, there is no such thing, I believe.
It's not as if they will come into your house every now and then to check if you are into gambling, all you need to do is gamble in a more decentralised way, or just use a very strong VPN connection.
In a country where millions of people live no one will dare go around looking for gamblers to arrest, even in south Korea where gambling is restricted, the hunt is on those running gambling den in different locations.
People can still gamble in a country where gambling is restricted, it's restricted to keep people away, you don't have to be one of the many that follow this rules, just do it in a secret manner and don't raise alarm when you lose or win.
