In as much as it might seem like they are trying to help it still doesn't solve that problem of gambling addiction, as a matter of fact it tramples on the rights of people because they gambling is a choice and it's not the only dangerous thing out there that people can get addicted to. The government also forget that there are people that are wasted on drug substances and nothing is done to curb this act but they focus only on gambling
Similarly in my country gambling is prohibited but even so there are still many people who do it, sometimes I think even though they are trying to minimize the number of addicted people but this does not help at all, also at this time they seem to support gambling even though this is against the law in my country, so I conclude that they also benefit and at this time they are not too tough on gambling, just giving ordinary appeals without any consequences to deter addicts.
