For the past weeks, our country has become alarmed by the growing addiction to gambling, because of the many billboards proliferating, influencers promoting gambling sites, and TV commercials and sponsorships on TV shows.
Due to this, many lawmakers proposed a total ban on gambling, which was opposed by various sectors due to the tax implications and job losses, leading them to suggest a stricter restriction.
Governments like to disturb their own self and the peace of the people we might have been seeing gambling as a source that gives the required comfort they want, people will not accept by what the government are saying because they are going to see it as a threat to their right in having fun to gamble, our leaders should know that gambling is not a way of persuading people to illicit acts, instead for the purpose of having fun.
Strict restriction means the regulators order all billboards to be taken down, influencers to take down their posts and stop posting, and all sponsorships to be stopped.
Do you think seeing no gambling, hearing no gambling, and talking no gambling, not even a mention of a gambling site, will decrease addiction? Is it a good resolution?
This is not about being strict about gambling rules and regulations from the government, because it makes no change and there is nothing they can do about it, we cant control and decide for the people on what they use their money for, even if the regulations are there, there is no certainty that people wilwill not in thiertheir privacy gamble as they want.
