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?


Governments should not set any limits to personal freedom. That sets a bad precedent towards them taking more and more of our freedom until there is nothing left.

There are also other things that would benefit from having limits, like drinking alcohol. Just think of how many lives would be saved if you were only allowed to drink a beer per day?

But again, how would that impact our freedom? The government would have to turn into a total dictatorship. Especially since alcohol is so easily obtained.

The same can be said about gambling. The government cannot stop you from gambling somewhere else.
