Bangladesh has blocked 331 online casinos

[makishart]

It's probably a wrong logic to argue that since politicians are almost openly laundering money why don't they allow online casinos to operate as well where money laundering could also be done by the rest? Both are illegal and should end. But it's certainly wrong to allow one simply because the other is happening.

Every year thousands of crores of rupees are laundered out of Bangladesh through different means and with the help of various influential people, which is why the Bangladesh government is still very apprehensive about cryptocurrency and online gambling sites that if they are legalized, the amount of money laundered in the country may increase more . that's why Bangladesh still banned crypto and online casinos

Im not sure about that. The problem is bangladesh didn't have s specific law that was stating to ban gambling CMIIW. In my opinion if gambling was still in the grey area pretty much the same like crypto. Remember that if people can still play gambling even tough if that must be offline gambling just like person to person. Most of gambling sites got banned but there's no law that was regulating it. The answer is alternative link. This will solve all of problems by gambling site to deal with regulation like that.

The number of 331 is small knowing that online gambling is now popular and I think most that they ban are only fiat based casinos but the banning that they do is only lite because you can still access the mirror version of the gambling sites. If they are truly serious on their intention then they'll going to be a little stricter and ban everything related to it. They will also find a way to prevent an access on the gambling site using a vpn and other bypassing tools. You said politicians are also money launderers.

Although you didn't mentioned that they are gamblers, I think both acts are still linked to each other. It gives them a backfire if they ban gambling when they themselves also do it.

Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) recently blocked 331 websites related to online gambling in a bid to rein in the rapidly expanding malpractice in the country.

The initiative was a part of a regular surveillance effort of the telecom watchdog's Digital Security Cell, reads a statement.

Moreover, Google removed 14 apps from among 150 in Google Play Store which were reported by the BTRC for being connected to online betting.

"Necessary steps have been taken to remove the rest of the apps," the commission said.

Besides, 17 Facebook and 17 YouTube links have been removed after the BTRC reported 27 Facebook and 69 YouTube links to the two global firms for being used to promote gambling and provide training on how to take part in online betting.

Don't be surprised and the government will always use that excuse and it's also commonly used by countries that block online gambling sites.
My guess is actually not money laundering that is their focus but their inability to collect taxes from online gambling activities the reason behind this blocking.
Which usually happens when the government does not benefit from the activities carried out by its people, the steps taken are prohibiting, blocking and so on.

Maybe you are right that they are only using the ban as an excuse to hide the shady things that they do. They think some people are going to be happy once they ban gambling because those people are also anti with it. They think gambling is bad and it destroys lives but we aren't agreeing with that. Only the responsible gamblers will understand what is the true benefits of gambling.

Online gambling especially non crypto are regulated so they can be able to get tax from it unless if they don't want it anymore because their economy are doing well already. The move isn't about money laundering because laundering can happen on many ways, exchanges for instance but they didn't say that they banned it.

High likely it is owed to the fact that they don't have the control over those sites and so they can't tax those casinos accordingly. But if those sites are regulated under their government, I believe they won't have any problem. But these gamblers will always find a way how to gamble and find new casinos to play with. We are in the digital age where you can bypass the government's banning protocols.

Bypassing is very easy but of course those people or violators should really be that careful on not on being caught because if they do then we know on what are the consequences and price to pay once you had been
known that you are still accessing sites even though its been prohibited or being banned.Each country does have their own  particular takings on different industries specially on something that they cant
get a hold or able to input tax which is always been the case on why they are really that making prohibition but in overall its not really something a big problem for those
people who do really love or wants to gamble since accessing these places arent really that hard.

That's a muslim's country. That must become one of the main reason gambling is prohibited there. I meant it's also happening in majority of muslim countries caused by they were seeing gambling as something that must not be used by its believers.
That makes this become a common thing. As long as people have a way to access it if they want. that's not a problem for sure.

Bypassing the gambling restriction is not an issue but the point is why governments need to ban gambling all the time. Is gambling the only business which is harmful for the citizens? Is everything else is fine ?

The situation of using a VPN to access gambling sites is not so simple. Some people just want to comply with the rules and regulations and do not want to take risk or violate the regulation of the country. Also, some gambling sites will not allow you to use VPN and if you got caught they can block or freeze your accounts and funds.

Tax collection should be done by governments and they should focus on how to get taxes from gamblers and not focus on how to stop gambling just because they do not know how to track the online gamblers to get taxes from them.

The country rulers has the right to make a law.regarding with the safety of the people and of.course to.mke sure the safety of the people in their community issued with their side they make a ban and at the same time the government does not have any authority to make it rule because those are handle by private group or person so even though they want to make a contract with it because of the taxes they can't due to some reason.

I definitely agree with you. I'm not arguing on this. I have a problem with the reasoning. Can you see the reasons? Having safe internet? Check out the above quoted post and read the link.

I've read the article before I responded. I think the reason isn't to make internet a safer place but to combat money laundering. I've not made extensive research about what really motivated BTRC's actions but, at least as far as the article is concerned, it isn't indicated there that it is to avoid social ills, to keep citizens from getting addicted, to make them avoid losing money, and so on. The obvious point there is that online gambling is used to launder money, and they want to stop it.

while it is indeed that there are rulings in each country but the problem here is that  those politicians and Big players are the one who are violating the rules .

their Laws was created solely to benefits them and not the whole congregation so there are something missing in this part , for the government to succeed they must implement with Hammer hand and not just for them to break.

Earlier it is the country that arrested people for having bitcoin. The citizens were also warned with the incident, but people from Bangladesh continue using bitcoin through one way or the other. This is all because of the value they've got. So, decisions from the governments were just a way to trigger people find an alternate path. If not the authority is in need of money from the mentioned list of 331 online casinos.

Governments in less developed and developing countries worried about bitcoin adaption. They suffer from ambivalence. What should be done? However, one of the country's ICT ministers seems quite enthusiastic about Bitcoin adaption as well as Blockchain Technology. But they don't dare because of various hacking activities every now and then. However, if the neighboring country accepts it easily, then maybe the use of Bitcoin may be allowed in that country as well. It seems to take long time.

Almost all countries when politicians come to power they will only care about themselves, as if they are very clean but in fact they are crazier.
Everyone should be free to do anything as long as they can be accounted for.

[TopT3ns]

If only Bangladesh blocks gambling sites, of course that's not true because the circulation of online gambling places is the main opponent, the government is working with several internet providers to eradicate gambling sites, such as in Thailand and Laos also implementing policies not to provide access to any gambling sites. They are usually gambling addicts who want access to gambling places forced to use VPN or other tools to make it easy to access.

[mindrust]

People in Bangladesh are super poor. Think about the poorest guy you saw in your neighborhood and multiply his poorness level with 100. That’s how poor the people in Bangladesh.

Losing their life savings to the online casinos is probably the past thing these people need. I can’t say they are well educated too. Being poor and stupid is a very dangerous combination for a gambler. The poorest country in the world don’t need to gamble.

[len01]

even though in my country gambling is prohibited and opening any gambling site cannot but as a true gambler there are many ways to still be able to access the gambling web. i sometimes use a VPN to open a gambling platform. well even though it sounds bad but that's the only way to still be able to gamble.
politicians have always been greedy people who only seek their own profit at all costs. but they can't limit gamblers to stop gambling it sounds selfish and nothing will ever stop online gambling.
many countries do not allow gambling in blocking gambling sites for any reason. but still we as gamblers have different ways to keep gambling. for me gambling is a freedom that no one can forbid

Agree with you. Nowadays, politicians want to possess many things and seem to act like people with great power in controlling the government, so they want to get more things. And regarding Bangladesh, maybe this is just a game of elite politicians who want to regulate gambling there. I think using VPN will be people's choice to continue gambling when gambling in that country is banned. But again, gambling can attract people to try their luck.

And you know what's the worse with them? If they've got allies in the committee that makes laws or in the senate, there will be laws made that are in favor of them.
That's why the rich politicians are staying there because they're benefiting from the said law. But for such laws like this, aren't they aware that they're removing the opportunity for them to make taxes and as well as give jobs to some of their countrymen?

But if you always use a VPN then it will make it too complicated for to access gambling places, using a VPN has the advantage of having good internet security, If you use a Smartphone it will be difficult to configure the internet network used, but if you use a device such as a computer then you can change DNS to

Code:

Preferred DNS Server : 1.1.1.1
Alternate DNS Server : 1.0.0.1

With this configuration I hope you can access all gambling sites without using a VPN.
