Due to this statistic and fact, Philippine lawmakers are recommending a total ban on casinos, including both online and offline casinos.
The Philippines’ government insurance branch happens to be one of the top investors in a gambling company, so it’s no wonder that gambling proliferated.
When the government is involved and doesn’t care, there’s nothing that can stop gambling from proliferating. We can see bus drivers playing scatter while driving, and people resorting to stealing to sustain their addiction to gambling.
