There are modern better ways to fight gambling addiction such as which I have proposed in my opinion:
> Regularly educating your citizens on national TV programmes about the negatives of compulsive gambling. You can be sponsoring these programmes through the revenues accrued from taxes paid by these gambling companies. Or these companies could as well partner with initiatives and sponsor it.
> Provide skills acquisitions programmes and avenues of adequate job opportunities, because a lot of young people trooping into gambling are doing so as a result of a lack of sustainable means of income which makes them to see gambling is the all embracing means to make money.
Government banning casinos and other gambling platforms to stop addiction is a joke. Again, these your suggestions/recommendations are neither a solution in my own opinion. I don't know from your end, but hardly sit and watch television this days here and government will end up wasting money to sponsor the programme on the national televisions without yielding any impact.
There is an adage that says "an idle man is the devil workshop" but is that really the case with gambling? We have read it many times here that a worker gamble with his salary and some sorts of similar things. The issue of gambling addiction is more of personal than government involvement.
