I’ve read the news and even watched the Senate inquiry on this issue. In my view, the restrictions may help reduce the number of people falling into gambling addiction, simply because it’s no longer as convenient as it once was. However, I hope the government realizes that this is only a short-term fix and not a comprehensive solution to the deeper problem of gambling addiction in our country. Hardcore gamblers will always find a way, many may turn to illegal betting sites just to satisfy their urge. In that scenario, the government loses twice: not only does it fail to curb addiction, but it also misses out on potential tax revenue from these underground platforms.
