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?

If being addicted to gambling has reached the ears of government and they think by removing gambling totally in the country is the best solution, probably the government will be worsting the situation currently in the country because gambling is seen to fun to those that love football, and not being addicted to gambling, assuming the government is talking about removing any gambling hall that is permitted by the government, it could be more preferable then removing the what is helping so many youths and also preventing the youths from committing crimes.
