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?

This will be effective for offline casinos, but this will also push gamblers to choose online casinos. In the results, offline casinos will be affected. And we know that gamblers won't stop gambling. Much more if they were already addicted. Of course, casinos won't agree to this, knowing that they will suffer an income decline.

It may work in some places, but it is not a solution to stop addiction. I think the best thing for the government to do is to increase the minimum limit so that only rich people can afford it.
