There are many countries placing ban on gambling operations in their country on both online and offline, for either religious reasons or as measure towards curbing gambling addiction. But is it making result? while several other countries are rather lifting their bans with less restrictive regulatory policies.

That's what I mean. My government also prohibits gambling, but people still access it and gamble. In fact, it's estimated that the gambling industry in my country alone is around $21.8 billion USD, which is a lot of money for an illegal industry. If only the government could legalize it, at least they could collect taxes from the operations of these gambling platforms. However, the problem is that the government is considering the edicts of one of the majority religions here, which states that gambling is haram. Another consideration is the potential for addiction. This prevents the government from legalizing gambling here.
