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.

-snip-

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.

No matter the efforts the government will want to apply in preventing citizens from gambling it is inevitable that the citizens will always find a way to gamble and it will be doing this bot minding the risk involved in either losing their money to the casino online if they get discovered that they are gambling from a restricted country. Also, there is a tendency of a growing illegal gambling platforms which will even be taking advantage of the citizens easily scamming them at will since they are not regulated by the government. A situation the government really have to critically look at with their decisions.

Most of them are willing in taking that kind of risk just to fulfill their lust and dsire to play, most of them are already engage too deep into gambling the reason why they are willing to take that action even the government ban or restrict any access to gambling, like you said, they are willing to gamble either to got caught by the government or getting frozen to the site where gambling is strict in terms of policies, they don't mind being caught then lose their entire balance.
