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?

I don't see any wrong in doing this as a government, it will help gamblers to limit the amount they spend daily during gambling. If the government can do this in most countries that have enough gamblers it will help them alot. The gamblers can use the remaining money to do other things either saving it for the next day or investing it. But even if this could happen gamblers will figure out away that they can continue gambling even after they have exceeded the limit. This might change just little and it might not change anything at all. But they should do it to see how it goes, whether it will reduce the rate of gamblers in Finland or it will remain the same.
