keep in mind that gambling is also illegal in south korea. so my point is, everyone eventually finds a way.
You are absolutely correct that is the real truth about it. However, sometimes I used to wonder whether those government are doing the right thing, noing fully well that humans are always humans. Though, there is no how banning gambling in a country would easily work for everybody, it is quite obvious that gamblers would definitely going to look for a way to manover. Because even till now there are countries who is against Bitcoin and other things, but even as that people are still doing it in a coded way.
Actually, I did not know gambling was illegal in South Korea, though. That is interesting.
I know it is a stereotype, but when people think of gambling and Asian people, it always comes to mind the typical Asian person who is addicted to gambling or is willing to gamble of practically anything which crossd their path, so far it is an stereotype which applies some some Asians I have meet, but not all of them.
Perhaps, the government of South Korea is afraid of something happening in similar of what is going on in Nigeria, where the majority of people living there are involved in gambling in some level and the gambling addicted people might be an important percentage of the population, leading to social problems of all kind. It could be the same reason Japan also banned gambling, they do not trust their own people being responsible gamblers.
