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?

I do not have much knowledge about the entire system in the Philippines but I know that E-Wallets cannot be held responsible since there are various ways that a person can gamble, even without using them.
But since we are mostly gambling with cryptocurrency, does it really matter that E-Wallets are being phased out from the casino platforms?
