Maybe this your suggestion will work to an extent but to a large extent, it won't work because students can still gamble online. Gambling has come to stay whether you like it or not because since the coming of the online gambling and casinos, gambling has gotten a wider coverage and can’t be controlled because even when the countries governments try to control it, people will still use VPNs to have access to the gambling sites.
Banning gambling outlets around tertiary institutions is a direct way to promote an alternative that might be even more dangerous and addictive than the formal. Now, all that could stop them on an online field is network. If that’s out of the way, they would get so much comfort in gambling and no one gets to know it.
Am orientation at schools would yield a better result and perhaps, a good standard of living.
Quite true but I still believe that banning physical gambling from the school area could bring some positive result which at least would reduce the number of the students who are most likely to be exposed to it physical which is an added advantage to the students.
It's not everyone that yet believe in the online gambling because many people have this believe that whatever is going to be online or internet based platforms that has to do with making any payment, they do not subscribe to it and that's the little advantage that might come off this, else moving a gambling shop from the school environment might make only a few impact.
