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?

The government setting limits on how much a gambler can gamble daily will only make them look for an illegal way to do it and that would be a messy process in the country, gambling is an individual decision and they everyone shouldn't be forced to set a limit. I only think that the government should make the age restriction policy should be taken more seriously to avoid young adults or teenagers from being addicted, and perhaps instead of strict limits on how much a gambler should gamble, they should focus more on educating people about responsible gambling. Because even if the government gain access to these gambling sites in order to stop gamblers from going overboard they would still find a way out illegally through illegal site.
