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?
It might not let the industry grow anymore but what about those who are already addicted to gambling or at least enjoy gambling? Banning it will not cure their addiction but might even fuel them more. It is like taking away a candy from a child after you just gave it. They will still want to have it even after you take it away since they already have a taste for it.
