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?
IMO it depends firstly on the country and how it wants to treat gambling. Finland's government is stricter than others when it comes to gambling, but such limitations seem to be effective in terms of spreading gambling and addiction. I don't know if this will force gamblers to move to another country just to gamble. It seems unrealistic to my ears. However, trying to find other illegal or undercover ways sounds more logical.
