I saw this
report saying my country’s government agency that regulates gambling gets
most of their profit from online gambling. I was shocked to find out thst 59.9% of their revenue comes from online gambling.I know how much online gambling has grown over the years but to see this number was still shocking. Anyway, some thinks that the agency’s reliance on online gambling for profit makes them inefficient in actually regulating gambling activities in the country. People are asking for them to be more effective and not just consider the gambling operators’s profits because my country has poor healthcare and won’t be able to accommodate addict patients well. There really has to be some objectivity still but I also understand wanting to keep the revenue going especially if it helps in the economy.
Online gambling started dominating over offline gambling in the last 10 years and that's completely normal.
OP, I find your post kinda confusing. A government agency doesn't generate profits. This is a government agency, not a company.
Government agencies don't have to "rely" on gambling tax revenue, because every government agency has a budget, which is subsidized by the central budget. Maybe the government agency you are talking about generates a certain percentage of
it'sits budget by gathering gambling taxes, but you
dondidn't elaborate
on this in your forum thread.
In my own country, gambling tax revenue isn't spent by the Ministry of Healthcare for the treatment of gambling addicts. There's no clear info about how the gambling tax revenue is being spent by the government, in the country where I live.
