Any baninig only fuels interest and confrontation. I don’t see the point of such prohibitions, in reality, those who played will continue to play online using a VPN, and they won’t be protected from fraud. A more reasonable approach would be to impose proper regulation of the process. That way, the government can replenish its treasury with taxes from the gambling business, and gambling enthusiasts won’t have to go looking for trouble on the internet.
Is it only the impact on state revenues that is considered when implementing gambling regulations? In addition, has the government stabilized its revenue sources? In fact, it is not that easy to allow gambling in a country if it is not prepared for the negative impacts it will have. The government must be ready to provide mental health services to treat gambling addicts. In addition to allowing gambling, the government must first ensure its citizens' sources of income by providing adequate employment opportunities. If such matters cannot be balanced, then what is the point of creating gambling regulations? Unemployment due to gambling addiction is everywhere, and crime rates are rising because people do not have a stable source of income.
Don't just look at it from the perspective of state profits; you also need to consider its impacts.
Now without gambling regulations, the government cannot be blamed because when someone becomes addicted to gambling, the individual is at fault. The government can reject it with a strong argument because gambling is prohibited.
