While other countries are trying to ban gambling in their countries, there are countries like Sri Lanka who is trying to use gambling as a way to revive their economy. They are aiming to attract gamblers from India and China to contribute to their tourism. Do you think this will be effective? Do you think it is possible to revive a failing economy just from gambling revenue? Would you be willing to travel to Sri Lanka to gamble?
Gambling actually contributes significantly to the economy. That is why most countries are embracing and boosting this kind of activity because they know and believe that it would help. For some reasons, like addiction, some countries are also banning it. All of these things are reasonable, and the decision lies in the hands of the government leaders.
But I believe that gambling should not be banned. It all just depends on how the country manages it. We don't need to sacrifice the economic situation of the country for the sake of a few people who fall into addiction.
