Will you change your mind on gambling ?

[Doell]

As a gambler who is in a zone of strict government regarding gambling, as a good citizen I appear normal on outside the house. But not inside, well I play online gambling every day. The government doesn't know about my activities, if they know that's okay too, as long as I don't harm other people. Gambling is just for fun, what matters is (responsibility) I always remember that.

You are a core gambler,I mean you have a reserved or particular time that you use in gambling everyday, just the way some of us are,we even add gambling expenses to our monthly budget because we gamble to entertain ourselves.
  A new government came into power, and enacted a law that nobody should gamble anymore in the country i.e gambling becomes illegal. Will you just behave yourself and abide to this new law that is depriving you from having fun as a good citizen ? or will you ignore the law and keep on gambling since there are online casinos that you can gamble secretly with your mobile phones with out no one knowing ?

Everyone has their own subjective view on things like gambling or obeying the government. I for example do not care at all about obeying the government but I understand that some laws and regulations have a good reason for existing. So I obey that "peaceful and productive order of things". Thats not the same as to obey the authorities. As far as gambling goes, I would not care about any legal or illegal restrictions on something that I enjoy doing. If my country were to ban gambling, I would simply find another way to gamble. Unless there is a very good reason for banning gambling and not just moral-high-road politics.

[uneng]

I wouldn't stop gambling because the government doesn't allow it. More important than following the laws of your country is to have the perception and conscience of how moral they are. If a law is immoral I think it shouldn't be followed. As example I could mention tyranical countries which doesn't respect individuals' rights (by the law). In this case citizens should ignore the law and act accordingly to their own conscience which is more important than any human invention. Regards gambling, a citizen from a strict country on this matter can simply play using cryptocurrency at online casinos. Being discreet, your government can't do anything against you.

I don't want to violate the laws in any way so my take will be changing the mind and go for other entertainment options or fight legally to bring back with valid reason why it shouldn't be banned in your country.

And you have wrong thoughts about online casinos, every legal casinos will not allow people from banned country in their casinos and you can clearly see which country residents are restricted from using their services in their terms of service. If you are still gambling you are also violating the terms of casino and your funds are under risk as well.

Any violation would come up with consequences and its no brainer that you would really be definitely be penalize once you do get caught but if deep inside you do know that
they cant just easily catch you and you are that too addicted with gambling then pretty sure, you would just simply play anytime you do want and everywhere you do like.
Changing up someones mindset when it comes to gambling will vary on the level of addiction that you do have.If you do really have that kind of emotion
where you do need to play badly then you would definitely push through it.

[kamvreto]

If gambling has become a habit and becomes a routine that is needed to entertain oneself, of course the government rules will be ignored, I believe that. because gamblers always find ways how to easily access gambling sites even though they are illegal and blocked. For those who take advantage of gambling as a field to generate profits, it will be a necessity that cannot be abandoned just because of the government's prohibition. The government only blocks access, but there are many loopholes that can be used to reach it again.

[bitzizzix]

It is very difficult to eradicate or stop gambling even if the government strictly prohibits and will imprison it if caught, gambling has existed since our ancestors still existed and was also prohibited but until now it still exists and continues to grow and develop.
and in the country where I live gambling is prohibited, but everyone can still bet by hiding and can also access online gambling even if it is blocked or banned. There are many ways to keep playing and access it no matter how strong and tough the government is, gambling will never go away and there are many cases of gamblers being arrested and jailed for just a day or two because their money can get out.

[dothebeats]

I'd probably just follow the law and just find another hobby. It's way easier to give it up and do my normal thing and wait for other people more dedicated than me to make a move rather than throw myself in front of the deluge and get myself imprisoned. I only gamble to kill time and enjoy a bit but I can definitely live without it. I just haven't found the time to allocate on some other things other than gambling on Saturdays. The government can enforce this immediately, and I wouldn't care that much if all gambling websites will be blocked.

Even if the government can't find the people who is abusing the laws that is why they let the service provider to do the job, here the gambling platform has their right to decline any winning amount from the user who won from a place where their service is not allowed and the new KYC kind of screening system won't let anyone to stay under the radar forever. So the choices will become limited and probably there are high chances to end up choosing the scam casino and lose the money.

In my opinion, the country's government can prohibit only what it controls.  If the country's government does not control something, it will not be possible to prohibit it.  

For example, offline casinos are actually located on the territory of a certain country.  

Organizations that profit from the activities of these casinos are officially registered with the tax authorities.  

The situation is different with online casinos.  Their owners can be residents of different countries.  The financial and economic activities of these casinos are carried out in the virtual space.  

For example, deposits can be replenished in cryptocurrency.  It can even be such an anonymous and confidential cryptocurrency as Monero (XMR).  

In these conditions, state bodies are unable to control such casinos and prohibit people from playing gambling games.

[samuraijin]

maybe there are some countries that prohibit gambling as well as in my country it is also prohibited there are even laws that must be obeyed here, but actually the state can take advantage of the existing gambling tax so that the state can legalize it, but it all comes back from your government, that doesn't mean with the ban will disappear, of course all gamblers will still gamble wherever they want even using their cellphones can still gamble even if the government blocks the gambling sites people will use VPNs to keep gambling, weekends are a fun time to gamble and spend a little money looking for fun

if you are a gambler through and through, you will find a way how to gamble at any cost. as the online gambling community is easily accessible these days, it is not a surprise if you can find sites that can satisfy your desires. but i don't think the government will totally ban the world of gambling as they can get income from this industry. no matter what banning they will do, gambling will always be a part of most people. they will just play using illegal means. so why not make it legal and earn from it?

[Porfirii]

Is gambling still punisable by death penalty in any country in the 21st Century? If that was the case in my country, I wouldn't risk my life :O

And if the fine was high, I would also change my mind. But if it was small, and difficult to detect, I wouldn't: I think that adult people must be free to make their own decisions about betting/gambling or not. Another thing is that some abusive practices used by casinos should be banned in order to protect the people, but this is not what the OP is asking.

[serjent05]

There are factors I need to consider if ever the government put a ban on gambling.  these are:

1,  How serious is the government about implementing the Ban?  If they are just implementing it because of trends then I wouldn't stop my online gambling.
2.  Are they tracking down and arresting people who engage in gambling both online and offline?  If they do then I will stop any of my gambling activity.  I do not want to get caught and pay a fine or spend some days on detention centers.

So whether I will continue playing or stop when the government ban gambling depends on the consequences and penalty when caught.

[Cryptomultiplier]

I doubt any sanctions of ban placed on gambling by the government will not see light because gambling comes in varying types and techniques. How does the policing agency who will be responsible to enforce this decision even begin?
For those who find gambling as a profitable investment of time and money, if caught, do you think whatever punishment would compensate for the addiction or way of life that had been a survival means for them?
Gambling can only be restricted or limited in use across certain platforms but not banned totally. Unless phones or other mobile devices seize to exist or one is in a place without internet access.
I certainly can't change my mind on gambling. It is my concern how I spend my cash. It is my concern how I derive my happiness from an activity as gambling that makes my adrenaline flow.

[famososMuertos]

Comply with the laws of your country.!

Always do the right thing.

There are many players who have accommodated themselves according to the laws, in the United States, after Black Friday (poker) the restrictions began, some was total others regional, but even after a few years, it seems that an agreement will finally be reached that allows playing again without so many restrictions. But the professional players who depended on it traveled to Canada and Mexico mainly.

Spain only allows the game between local players (poker), coupled with the demanding taxes, many players said no, and went to other countries.

So your case may be "temporary" the laws may change, so, you could be patient!, or if you like to bet simply look for the right way to do it, travel or settle in a country that will allow you to bet "Legally", do not complicate your life.

[crzy]

I’m not addict in gambling, if it’s illegal already then I will not take the risk to ignore such law because I know it will be risky and my career will be compromise so I’d rather follow the law than to spend time in jail.

There’s a lot of way to be happy and to be entertain, don’t use gambling as an excuse because if you do, most probably you are addicted on this and you need a help already.

Gambling is illegal in my country since for decades already and there is a clear law about gambling. However it does not make people in my country stop gambling, they do gamble in online casinos. The number of gamblers is increasing from time to time as well as the number of the online casinos. The government tries their best to block those online casinos and jails those who are caught to gamble but there are still many people do it. It proves that most people just ignore the law and they do it responsibly as I believe that they know the risks.

I believe government has limit to how far they can exercise their authorities just as in the caee of cryptocurrencies that was banned in some countries but p2p has always serve a solution, i will advise that if such happens then there must be a way to gamble with privacy and be safe, they make their own law and you make your decision to serve yourself to the right and freedom you deserve, many gambling sites are now going on "no KYC" mode in their operations and you can now use crypto to gamble and not fiat, so you can always find a means to byepass such, China made tge law but still yet many are enjoying the sweetness of cryptocurrency being decentralized and if worst be, then you can enjoy playing the games right on your devices without gambling your stake on the games but i believe government wouldn't because they also benefited from gambling companies and operators.

[samcrypto]

Illegal is illegal, you might escape that for a while but expect to experience worst if you get caught. I don't want to be on this position at all cost, I will avoid or stop doing such illegal things. If the government suddenly ban gambling in your area, then I believe you still have time to withdraw your money on a gambling site and for now better to forget about gambling and focus in other things. Your government might revise that decision so by that time, you can gamble again legally.
