As what the question is, Do you think governments should set limits on how much one can gamble daily?

For example, in Finland:

Quote

Veikkaus has the following compulsory loss limits in place applicable to all of their games (excluding Casino Helsinki): €500/day; €2,000/month; and €15,000/year.

Should this is be good deterrent to at least minimized gambling in a certain country? Or does it force gamblers to uses illegal means or even travel outside of the country that has this strict law to continue with their gambling?

Even though this happens people will still devise a means to bypass the restriction that the government sets, by creating different accounts with different gambling platforms, the right thing to do is that, the government should through gambling platform be the right people to decide on this by setting limits on their platform, which doubt they will cooperate because it won't favour their business as it will limit their profits, too the stated reason above that people will create accounts with different platforms will still be a hindrance to such policy.

So far there is no outright ban on gambling activities in a country the serious gamblers and addicts will always find a way to bypass restrictions. For example if there is limit on how much gamblers can use to gamble, serious gamblers can risk creating multiple accounts. Government's best option to achieve minimum amount for gamblers bankroll is to collaborate with the casinos but most casinos won't be happy to abide by it. It won't be good for business because they need gamblers to deposit more and lose more. I think that governments will be better off with enlightening their citizens about the dangers of gambling addiction.

Gamblers will always find a way to bypass gambling ban in their countries. Sometimes it's not because they are addicted to gamble they just feel like doing it some of their free times. Am just trying to say that not all gamblers that bypass gambling ban are addicted. Some gamblers bypass gambling ban but they still gamble responsibly, that's to say they are doing it for entertainment. In the midst of 10 there's always someone who will not do like other.
