Restrictions can`t stop 100% of anything. Always someone will break it. It is true for gambling too.
But as i said in that thread, restrictions will stop lots of gamblers. Someone don`t know how to use VPN, someone is afraid to break the law, etc. As the result someone will continue the game, but someone will change the way how they spend their free time.

Do you remember the moment it was prohibited? Do you have some statistics before ban and after?
I understand that number of gamblers growing up - young men begin their protests, a part of adults learn what is VPN, etc.
But the difference before and after ban would say, that the number of gamblers decrease. So it means, that the government can use such tool. If the number of gamblers would grow up seriously - they can increase fines or make something about it.
It's hard to get specific statistics, and such data is not that available. There is a lot of talk in my neighborhood and on TV channels about the increasing number of gamblers, and they are taking it as a serious issue. Since this issue is being discussed in the media and there are reports of teenagers becoming addicted to gambling, this suggests that the number of gamblers is increasing.
And teenagers use VPNs for various things, including watching adult videos, and then using them to access gambling websites. So now technology is easy, no one can be stopped. People are more attracted to illegal things to know what's there.
Let me also join you guys in contribution towards gambling and restrictions in some certain countries, we have this to be divided into three different categories, countries that totally ban and restrict gambling, secondly are those that are linient with their regulations about gambling even though they don't support for gambling, but being neutral in their decision as everyone is taking risk to gamble on their own, while the last are the type that supported gambling, we can't control what should be the fate of the people for gambling, if they don't gamble, they will engage in doing other things more worse than gambling addiction and there's nothing they can do about it.
