The recent development here is that e-wallets are being ordered to remove gambling platforms linked to them. The government believes it’s one of the main reasons why gambling addiction has grown in the country. We only have 48 hours to still enjoy the service before it’s officially removed tomorrow.

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?

There will be no benefit in opposing where the government is taking action because the government has taken such a decision considering both the good and bad aspects. If gambling can be done by directly transferring money from e-wallets, it will be much easier and because it is much easier, young and old, students, men and women will all participate and quickly become addicted to gambling. I do not oppose the government's action. The government's action is a very good step in the interest of the people. Of course, the government's action will significantly reduce gambling addiction.
