Op, is absolutely correct gambling can never be banned entirely no matter how they implement or execute it because of the age we are into I mean the era we are. Even those country we do heard the government has ban gambling, if we check or carry out analysis well you will find out that some of these countries are gambling more than those countries that are not on ban. If a government can not create good job employment and opportunities then what is the need of stopping people from gambling knowing fully well that most persons are feeding from there. There are extent some people has gotten to in this gambling, there are some certain job you will offer them they will turn down your offer because of how much they are getting from gambling.
Unemployment is one of the reasons why people gamble that's right but it is actually a lazy excuse because gambling isn't much of an alternative...people gamble with the wishful thinking of becoming financially stable thought it with zero guarantees of achieving this...we are no longer in the stone ages so the government of any country cannot fully put a stop to gambling, people would still find a way to gamble
That's reality, even how hard the government will to it gamblers will find ways, those who already have deep understanding or already have too much addiction in them, they will do everything just to conitnue, so even the government implement rules with the help of internet access those gamblers will still find alternative to satisfied their desires.
There are many methods to use to access those casinos they want to play even if the government impose total banning of all online casinos. So with that they cannot really fully stop the operation especially that everything is accessible now.
Maybe instead of banning it they should find more effective ways to regulate it and make it more harder to afford by low income people. Since if it happens that gambling will became more expensive for some low income people I guess they will not gamble. Also they can make sure that the people came on casinos are well capable individual and they can get more taxes from this people also those platforms still running under their agreed terms.
