But earlier, I was surprised when I opened the app to gamble because it now required me to take a selfie before proceeding. I’m thinking this might be part of the government’s move to ensure minors can’t gamble. Do you think this is a good first step?

After taking a selfie this time around, what would they ask you for the next time you open the app? Your card number and pin..lol
It very well may be part of the government's effort to curb minors from gambling but I don't think this is a good first step. This "step" is anything but a good first step. It's intrusive to say the least and minors would overtime, find a way to go around this.
I would likely lose any interest if a site i used to play with makes taking a selfie before you can proceed a mandatory requirement.
