E-wallets make gambling very convenient since it’s so simple, you just add funds to your wallet, link it to a casino, and you’re ready to play. At first, the recommendation was to increase the minimum deposit, but it seems that wasn’t viable, so they ended up totally ordering e-wallets to remove gambling app links.

What do you think about this move by the government? Will it significantly reduce gambling addiction, or will it only make the problem worse?

I'm not using e-wallet to deposit, so I'm not affected, but I will be once the government implements a total ban, because there is a strong call from the senate, it's good that the current president knows the many benefits of taxes and the jobs created from gambling.
The blame is on the unregulated marketing of these local casinos don't care who will be affected once they place their banners and ads in places where even minors can see, and the general perception brought about by influencers that gambling can change your life for the better, unregulated marketing, and greedy promoters is a bad combination, these made it happen for people to become addicted to gambling, they have beed decived.
