What do you think about this move by the government? Will it significantly reduce gambling addiction, or will it only make the problem worse?
They are trying their best to do what they can by keeping their citizens in balance. They believe with limited access to gambling platforms, some people will not want to gamble again. How easy it is to access a casino makes it easy for people to gamble. What they just did was to tell gamblers in your country to stop using the e-wallet service and move directly to using the casino if they must, but I believe any gambler that can't control his gambling urge using the e-wallet is also likely to do the same with gambling directly if they are not limited from depositing.

No one will be stopped when the desired is to continue playing, a gambler that's already addicted will find ways to gamble, what will help here is those who only used their ewallets as after realizing that there's no more access or it won't allow them to deposit directly, they'll move forward and forget about it, but like your statement if the intention is continuously playing, a gambler will always find ways to do it.
