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?

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?

Let’s have an open discussion ...

Solve what problem exactly? I would need to hear the reasons in order to hear if it's justified or not. Even though my opinion wouldn't count as it's probably based on culturally different values, so i am biased here.

I don't know which country you speak of, nor i don't know how much damage that industry costs and how do they measure it. It could be religious reasons that i don't understand or would accept as legit reasons, but then again i am from a secular culture.

How ever, in some cases forcing ban or protection for everyone because you need to protect few is sometimes justified. It doesn't matter if it's about gambling or not, as long the law itself is not harming the people.
