I think they can't ban it entirely , I know that gambling is widely spreaded in Philippines , but this action consider as restriction of freedoms , look at a lot of european nations , they permit gambling and in the same time they are very effictive nations , because they consider gambling a way for fun , the solve comes from awareness not from restriction .

I think this should be a law in every country. People get wayyyy too addicted. With normal gambling you can at least stay away from the casinos but if it's online you could just play 24/7 and never ever stop until you're out of money. I think it's for the best. Gambling seems to be a huge sickness in the bitcoin community.

The newly elected President Rodrigo Duterte wants to stop the online gambling here in the Philippines. Its because they cannot collect tax from it and they don't want people to become addicted to it. What is your side ?

Yeah i heard that but i think they can not now while we are collecting bitcoin that we are gamble its impossible that  they can trace our funds from gambling casino many way to be still anonymous using bitmixer.. so we are still free to gamble using bitcoin..
But if you make it business you use your bitcoin and people buy bitcoins to you to use as credit in gambling site its a big problem if someone reported you..

The one that will only affected is those company na nakabased dito sa country. Iyong mismong nagooperate dito ng online gambling which is under licensed by PAGCOR Philippines.

So nothing to worry about if we will take it sa mga usual gambling type na ginagawa natin dito especially using our bitcoin. If balak nila yan parang ang hirap isipin kung how they will do some moves para di natin mapasok ang mga bitcoin gambling sites.

Actually you have a point, they cannot ban the gambling sites outside our country BUT. They can ban the bitcoin accounts that involves gambling. Example, here we are using coins.ph as bitcoin wallet. Once they traced that the transaction is from gambling. They are banning this account. And worst, the balance from that account is not refundable. Sad to those who lost their balance . That's how they control online gambling from other countries.

Is this only bitcoin wallet you can use in your country? Others are banned or what? And how can they trace you and prove that you get coins from gambling? Mix coins? Withdraw it to exchange, from exchange to your wallet?

[enhu]

Not to challenge the administration but how will they track those who play online gambling and how  can they track which gambling site?  
Seem a hard work, would it be easy for them to block blockchain itself?    

Anyway, I'm willing to stop though, i don't earn thru gambling anyway. I just play extra coins I have when there is but most of the time I buy altcoins to trade.

[crairezx20]

Its a bad news for those who addicted in gambling.. we are not affected here if we are not addicted in gambling only for those who addicted in gambling.. so philippines bitcoin users will not affect while you are collecting bitcoin..

[Daffadile]

Sounds like they sad because they want a cut so they just ban it. Also we using bitcoins and i'm sure they don't like that either since they can't trace it well or control it for their own profits. Governments love control. Do not fool yourself into believing the government wants to protect you. Banning anything protects noone. It just give law enforcement more excuses to do as they wish under the "law".

People always find the ways to keep gambling wherever it is banned or illegal in form of online. Philippines government can not bane it totally as who is addicted and used to gamble will go out of the way to do this. It will be good for vpn service providers to make their business good by filling the space by giving access to those gamblers.

[Superbitzz]

i think online gambling is already banned in so many other countries mostly in Islamic countries. not only online gambling but all other types and form of gambling are banned in so many countries. so may be it also banned in Philippine but i have no such news about this. and not even heard on social midia.

[Barbut]

Banning gambling is not right thing to do, in any country. People should be free to choose and do what they like, and there is nothing good in banning things like gambling, good question is what is next? Bitcoin maybe? I hope things will not come that far, and if that happen eventually I`m sure people will find a way to continue with gambling.
I know its not easy when we are forced to something "illegal" and something that is forbidden, constant fear from police and other government forces. I think not all laws are good, and I`m for freedom of choice, so my stand about this things is very clear. I believe their agenda is pretty obvious, they just wish to take some money from that, with this proposition they shaken things and maybe they wait someone to offer them a bribe.

[Bitcotalk]

If they want to ban it because of tax, then it is not good thing for their country as it shows that their country is weaker in that field and are unable to make the system to collect the tax, they should have to make a system with which they can collect tax.

[RussianRaibow]

Some people are stupid or addicted and gamble even when they can't afford it, but I don't think anybody or any government should be allowed to tell people what they can and can't do with their own money.  It's nobody's business except the person who owns the money.  If the Philippines do end up outlawing gambling online, you can always use TOR or a VPN to continue playing online.

[lottery248]

just simply can't collect tax  and then ban gambling? lmao what this logic is.
let's down with the death punishment as well.

There is many jobs out there, not only in gambling paltforms, LOL, can you imagine how many more families are being ruined because of gambling more than some others that they can help due to having jobs.

In think its because they can't collect tax from it. People are greedy and everyone wants a slice of the pie. I believe people should have the freedom to make their own mistakes and not be dictated over like some child.

Yes Indeed ! If they really want to stop gambling in our country then they should close all the Casinos out here. But they cant, because Casinos generate a high amount of tax. Which they value the most. Many people lost their money in casinos than online gambling. The point is, they cannot collect proper taxes from online gambling and many gamblers tend to gamble online because there is a higher chance of winning in online gambling than in the Casinos.

I heard the news, This will not happen because they will not be able to control everyone from accessing the internet.But if this will really be implement. We can use Proxy changer, Ip changer or VPN to have access or to be able to gamble again.

Gambling should be banned all over the world. It causes many disadvantages such as stealing, scamming and other because of gambling. The president did the right decision in banning it in Philippines. Of course, many will lost their jobs to those who are working in online gambling sites. We cannot deny the fact that for every decisions, there are pros and cons. Maybe he should provide some help or job offers to those affected by its ordinance.

[Cereberus]

Well online gambling is illegal in the United states but you still see people from there using those sites. Just because they say it is banned doesn't mean people won't still use those sites. Come on now! 
It is the internet after all. Unless they get smart and block all the sites from the country just like China has with google at a time before.

Holy shit! ^ Now that I can believe! Coming from someone who were accused of scamming someone too, i bet you learned that first hand experienced. right on brother! And i guess you never got into gambling because you're sticking to what you do best like doubler right?
