Another way to make people think the government are working when they're actually not.
I have a friend working on The Philippines as an admin or might be a scammer for illegal casino, yet The Philippines not banning the illegal casino, instead they remove a way to gamble on legal casino.
They gamble to make them survive because working on low paying jobs aren't enough to meet their need ends. People see gambling as source of income, the main problem are lack of jobs, unfortunately gambling got blamed because people lost their money due to gambling.
If people are earn enough, addiction will be lessen.
Legal casinos prohibition or restricting e wallets are not the answer. Individuals resort into gambling primarily due to the fact that people are finding it hard to make ends meet which is perceived as a quick means of escape though it tends to heighten the situation. To curb the issue of addiction, the paying of better wages and improvement of job opportunities by the government should take priority. Once people are able to receive income sufficient to live comfortably, the necessity to resort to gambling as a source of income will decrease automatically. Pointing fingers at gambling and then simply blaming it is simply sweeping the problem under the carpet.
