Governments already knows this as impossible, but they will always keep on attacking for those who are not complying to paying their regulatory tax being part of their IGR in gambling sectors, we are living in a freedom era, all these shouldn't be a challenge anymore, some gamblers also have been making it more difficult to see gambling as what is all about fun, with their way of irresponsible gambling nature, all these are part of the reason the government will always take and use against us in gambling, but they still never wish its stopped, because they mostly earn from it.
At present, the government cannot just stop gambling if it wants, but it also has to regulate it. Depending on these two, the governments have to take necessary steps. If the government wants to ban gambling completely, then they will lose revenue and gamblers will do that using VPN. That is why I think it is a good way to take necessary steps to create awareness by allowing its use. The gambling industry is currently booming and no country can benefit by stopping it. Which will also benefit the government. It is right that strict controls should be put in place against all sites that are doing their business without any kind of government permission. This will not destroy the gambling industry, but rather those who have taken government permission will benefit the most.
