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?


That's a very thoughtful question. I believe setting daily or monthly gambling limits, like the ones used in Finland, can be a good move to help reduce gambling loss most especially to those who are addicted, It creates a safety net, especially for those who may struggle with self-control.
But however gambling is not approved in so many countries based on religious beliefs for example Saudi Arabia, so definitely government in such countries like this can't make such law, so basically in my own point of view I think the key is not just placing limits, but also combining it with education, self-exclusion options, and support systems. Responsible gambling isn't just about restrictions, it’s about helping people make informed, healthy decisions.
