Some of country can offer you legal gambling in 2023!

I live in a predominantly Islamic country, and why does gambling sound unethical? Well, it's because religious guidelines explicitly prohibit it. In the local culture, gambling isn't openly endorsed by various segments of society, mainly because there are still many young children who should not be involved in gambling.

However, as one matures, there are numerous channels that offer gambling opportunities. Despite being discreet, it has many enthusiasts and is like an open secret known to all adults. Surprisingly, in a country where gambling is prohibited, there are still a significant number of people who engage in it. The governing laws may appear to turn a blind eye, perhaps due to clandestine monetary influences behind the scenes. Who knows?

To be honest, in many countries people still will continue to do things that are illegal, so at the end of the day it is probably better to make it legal and regulate it than just say it is illegal and hope for the best.

Reality is very different to the world of laws

Even if they are lucky, if they do not have restrictions on gambling, they will only experience serious gambling problems.

I thought restrictions and limits actually reduce problems when it comes to gambling, if someone doesn't have enough self-control to stop gambling excessively, they might do that if there are restrictions from the casino itself due to regulatory pressure.

And of course, they have to comply with the limits they have made so that they can enjoy gambling as they should.

Limits in gambling are a good thing to prevent gamblers from excessive losses and getting addicted to gambling, it might specifically stop someone from getting addicted but it will at least reduce the effects.

And it doesn't seem like it's about an ethical issue because each country has its own regulations and if a country prohibits gambling, the government must have its reasons why they prohibit gambling. And if a country allows gambling, perhaps its government has considerations too. There may be other unstated reasons why these countries allow or prohibit gambling.

That's definitely true, a country wouldn't ban or legalize gambling with no reason at all, there must be some reasons, like religious prohibitions, legal consequences, environmental or societal issues, or anything else that might seem to go out of control and they need to take some actions against it.

Ethical in what way exactly?? I had to go lookup the word again just incase I'm mixing up points in my tightly-stuffed head; well, if I would say, you actually meant our regular gambling sites are not being entirely acceptable in these listed countries? Cus they actually gamble big time in those countries too - maybe except anyone would wanna bypass the breach, then ofcourse VPNs do Thier jobs perfectly...

Yeah, you could use a VPN to bypass the initial check, but what if you won something and want to withdraw it?

You can't use a bank account from a banned country.

It would  be different if the bets are in Bitcoin

actually no need to use vpn to access gambling sites, you can change the dns on your phone or computer easily, it can be useful for those of you who want to access banned gambling sites, you can use free dns such as clodflere or google dns.

And can you just withdraw money to your local bank when you win big?

I think it is possible for them to refuse payment to certain accounts of banned countries.

What do you feel from this that gambling is less ethical?

The most significant reason why gambling is banned in certain countries is probably due to religious teachings. Some religions consider gambling a sin, so the government decides to ban it. This is especially true in countries where religion holds a significant influence over their laws.

For me, you can't label gambling as unethical because, ultimately, it's just a form of entertainment. It's how we behave while gambling that matters. If gambling leads someone to behave badly, then it's their responsibility as they are the ones making decisions. Gambling itself should not be blamed.

There's a simple rule that should be followed: gamble when you're mature enough to understand what's right and wrong. Once you have that understanding, it's easier to accept losses since you grasp the risks involved in gambling and can treat it as a form of entertainment.

The government must review many considerations before deciding to ban gambling, although some countries allow gambling based on certain regulations. In my opinion, some opinions regarding the prohibition of gambling are due to religious factors, but in fact there are many other factors that are also references that must be discussed before gambling regulations are legalized.

The majority of public opinion regarding gambling is still influenced by negative impacts and gambling regulatory decisions are not accepted by all elements of society in certain countries, they do not tolerate gambling activities because the impact will trigger an increase in detrimental, immoral activities, fraud, money laundering and other.

In most Muslim countries I believe that there is Sharia law in place that prevents people from gambling most because of  first it is considered as haram and it is against the teachings of the Prophet as well as the cultural values. You will find that gambling is also called a sin in the Christian countries but there are no strict rules about it.

Gambling when not controlled has caused more harm than good. Look at people who have ruined that financial lives because they engaged in gambling. Further when you engage in gambling which is easy to start but hard to quit once you get addicted to it because the thrill of it takes over you. To add to this, those who spend most of their time gambling aren't doing anything productive. Their time and resources are which should be channeled to other purposes are just wasted on gambling. This are some of the issues  Islam and Christians have about gambling.

Self-control and boundaries will help someone in preventing more losses. If someone has it, he doesn't need to worry about gambling addiction because he can prevent it with these two things. And he also won't feel any pressure when gambling.

Limits in gambling are a good thing to prevent gamblers from excessive losses and getting addicted to gambling, it might specifically stop someone from getting addicted but it will at least reduce the effects.

However, learning or having limits is not easy because it must continue to be trained from time to time so that someone can have the ability to limit themselves when playing gambling. Many people have practiced it but only a few have really mastered it.

That's definitely true, a country wouldn't ban or legalize gambling with no reason at all, there must be some reasons, like religious prohibitions, legal consequences, environmental or societal issues, or anything else that might seem to go out of control and they need to take some actions against it.

So it depends on the situation and conditions of each country. The country's government will consider many things before deciding whether to allow gambling or prohibit it. They will also discuss with all parties in the country.
