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.

Veikkaus is their only gambling provider in Finland, and they do not offer licenses to external platforms apart from partial license, that would begin in 2027, so it is easier for the government to enforce those laws, however it does not mean that its citizens are adhering to the laws in its totality or that it is preventing anyone from gambling uncontrollably as long as they can use VPNs or other third party software to gamble in foreign casinos especially in a situation whereby cryptocurrency is legal in finland.

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?
It would only checkmate those that gamble within the country but I doubt that it is effective on a large scale since citizens have other options.
