What would be more efficient is dealing with gambling as a public health problem, And other reforms like putting a barrier on aggressive advertising, implementing pre-commitment strategies, finance treatment and comply with the law while being strongly enforced is which seems more reasonable to me.
Yes, you're right, it's a good policy, but it Should be Implemented with a lot of discipline and those laws should be the first to be enforced, Personally I know that these rules can be Complied with in European countries, but there are some countries where it's very difficult for their people to adapt, and generally their governments aren't very popular and that has a lot of influence, I see it that way In my country, something like that can't be done There are always many ways to be able to do an activity without the government being able to do anything , but it's because the government is very bad.
Banning gambling is something that only creates more illegal gambling. And this will be more difficult to control, especially when protected from corrupt government officials. The government should come up with a fair idea. Online ads are very effective in marketing, which I think putting this down could help to not expose gambling to young people. I know most of us are encouraged to gamble because we see a lot of people winning huge amounts based on the ads. That definitely triggers them to try as well until they become addicted.
