Government banning of casinos are at their own loss.

[Onyeeze]

Governments already knows this as impossible, but they will always keep on attacking for those who are not complying to paying their regulatory tax being part of their IGR in gambling sectors, we are living in a freedom era, all these shouldn't be a challenge anymore, some gamblers also have been making it more difficult to see gambling as what is all about fun, with their way of irresponsible gambling nature, all these are part of the reason the government will always take and use against us in gambling, but they still never wish its stopped, because they mostly earn from it.

The advantage that Governments have is the resources and the ability to reach everywhere through what they have, use of Information , social networks, among others such as police forces, a war like this is quite Difficult , but as they say around here, it is impossible for the government to put Everyone in prison , it Cannot be done, so sometimes irreverence towards a government is a guarantee of Fighting for freedoms that should never be taken away by a small group of Politicians.

We all know that is impossible for government to put everyone who partake in gambling for prison, so what is the major thing about gambling is that even though government ban the uses of gambling many more people will also partake on gambling, so it's something we need to know and what we need to understand in gambling, from my observations in gambling, we need to know that gambling is all about a personal interest even though government wants to intercept people or citizens not to partake on gambling I believe that is not everyone they can stop not to participate from gambling, because I know quit well that gambling is not traceable and government can't interrupt the network people is using to gamble

Op, is absolutely correct gambling can never be banned entirely no matter how they implement or execute it because of the age we are into I mean the era we are. Even those country we do heard the government has ban gambling, if we check  or carry out analysis well you will find out that some of these countries are gambling more than those countries that are not on ban. If a government can not create good job employment and opportunities then what is the need of stopping people from gambling knowing fully well that most persons are feeding from there. There are extent some people has gotten to in this gambling, there are some certain job you will offer them they will turn down your offer because of how much they are getting from gambling.

[Mahiyammahi]

You are right, but I think bans are not the solution to all problems. Because, not all people get addicted to gambling. Many people see it as just entertainment, like watching movies or playing games. But when an outright ban is imposed, people start playing secretly, using illegal sites or VPNs. Then the risk increases even more, and the government does not get any tax or revenue.

Rather, it is more effective to bring it under control, verify the age, set limits on playing and raise awareness against addiction. At the same time, if there are income opportunities, skill training and good jobs for the youth, then many will not see gambling as a “shortcut to making money”. Bans can be imposed, but if the root cause of the problem is not addressed, it will not be effective. The real solution is rules, education and opportunities  not just locking it down.

[adultcrypto]

I will always agree with the casino bans, they are senseless, they do not promote fun or employment in countries that need them, when there are bans by a government, at least in mine , everyone in my country finds a way to get around them for the simple fact that they are not accepted, governments worldwide do not look out for the best for their people, they look for the best for themselves.

Casino bans are detrimental to a country's government because they don't receive taxes, while their citizens can continue to gamble online, even if they have to use a VPN. The country doesn't receive anything, especially since casino taxes are so high, I also believe this is a loss for the government.
Someone addicted to gambling will do anything to satisfy their craving, and it can't be stopped.

A lot of factors makes government to take action such as banning casinos and one of the popular reason the give is to protect their citizens from gambling addiction. They believe that gambling addiction will do more harm to their country than the benefits they will gain from taxes from the casinos. In some countries, the only reason casinos or gambling in general are banned is mainly on religious ground because they believe that gambling is against their religious beliefs. Whatever be the reason, the government will only take action they believe the benefit will be higher for them. I do not support banning casino and I'm not from a country where casinos are banned, so I don't have much to worry about.

[Yablee0]

There are many countries placing ban on gambling operations in their country on both online and offline, for either religious reasons or as measure towards curbing gambling addiction. But is it making result? while several other countries are rather lifting their bans with less restrictive regulatory policies.

If there's any government officials reading this, it is important you all understand that the ban doesn't in anyway stopped your citizens from still accessing these gambling platforms online with their phones either through VPN. And this evening makes the citizens risk losing their money to the casino whose ToS is against the use of VPN. Your citizens now lose more to these casinos without the country receiving any royalties as revenue raising. Invariably, it all ends in favour of the casinos at the end of it all. Because you can't really stop your citizens from gambling at this digital age, except you plan on manning one policeman to a citizen 😜 , which is not possible.

There are modern better ways to fight gambling addiction such as which I have proposed in my opinion:
> Regularly educating your citizens on national TV programmes about the negatives of compulsive gambling. You can be sponsoring these programmes through the revenues accrued from taxes paid by these gambling companies. Or these companies could as well partner with initiatives and sponsor it.

> Provide skills acquisitions programmes and avenues of adequate job opportunities, because a lot of young people trooping into gambling are doing so as a result of a lack of sustainable means of income which makes them to see gambling is the all embracing means to make money.

This is the root of it all, it is even written in the holy book that an idol man is the devil's work shop, when you have nothing doing as a man you automatically have all the time in the world to start doing what really don't make sense or did you think if this youth are busy with their skills or handwork will they really have the time to gamble? Capital NO.

So instead of the government concentrating in Banning gambling that will actually make no impact or lasting solution to gambling addiction in the society, they should channel that same energy by engaging our young ones with numerous skills and empowerment and also creating a well payed job opportunity that can serve as a tangible source of income to them and their families.

However, If all these is been put into consideration, gambling addiction in the society will be old story.

The real disadvantage for the government when banning gambling is the loss of tax revenue, even though taxes from gambling or casino are substantial. Furthermore, having several casino in an area would create jobs for local residents.
Gambling cannot be banned because everyone has their own way of doing it, such as using a VPN or other methods. Therefore, I see only a few underdeveloped or developing countries banning it simply because they fear addiction among their citizens who do not have high incomes. In my opinion, this is a major mistake.

[harapan]

Exactly overtime gambling has beeing recognized as sin by religious beliefs and due to the high rate of addiction but in a nutshell it's also serving as a medium for fun. We are all aware that it has both advantage and disadvantages but the fact that it's been abused by so many people has resulted to the government banning the casinos inorder to forfeit the existence of gambling.

Well, to be honest with you, we can't completely call or refer to banning of gambling by some country's government as a major mistake because first, you have to understand that money is not everything, there are some situations where the government losing the tax revenue they are supposed to get from gamblers and Casinos is much better than them have to deal with alot of gambling related issues in the country possibly as a result of too many citizens being addicted to gambling..

Close your eyes and imagine a country where more than half of her citizens are addicted to gambling, the government of that country will have no choice but to spend far more money they get as tax revenue on citizens rehabilitation and medications for cure from the gambling addiction.
So sometimes, it's really important to give up money and care more about your welfare or well-being more, because it is he who that is well that can work and make money.

Yes, in theory it should work like that, but in reality it is absolutely ineffective, because those gamblers who are calm and easy-going about casinos will not look for a casino via VPN. They will simply give up and start doing another hobby. But those gamblers for whom casinos are very important cannot give them up due to their addiction. They will still bypass these restrictions and nothing will stop them from installing a VPN or proxy and finding online casinos that will be available and they will continue to play.

Like all lucrative activities, gentlemen, for example the horrible exploitation of prostitution, how many countries have tried to ban it.
One thing is if you are a woman and you decide independently, and for me it doesn't change anything.
One thing is, if you're forced, and that's horrible. They try to fight it, but they can't eradicate it because it's lucrative.
Users should be the ones to refuse the services of those who are forced to do so.

As a government, even when you know of this obvious fact that with VPN, anyone that's still interested in gambling can still go in to do what they want, they still have to make policies as long as it's to the best interest of the people they govern. I wouldn't completely support an outright ban of gambling in Some countries since it's something that's carried out willfully. Everyone should be allowed to go about it the way that pleases him, the only thing is that regulating the way it's being carried out is what matters so people don't just gamble recklessly and end up becoming gambling addict that will cause nausiance to the society.

The increasing gambling outlet that continues to spring up everywhere and the fact that a lot of youths are getting it wrong regarding the way they are going about it gives a call for the need to control how exposed people are about gambling. It's the duty of a responsible government to checkmate it and avoid any form of excuses.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

In my opinion, perowsnal bans on casinos and gambling will never work, in fact it will make the problem worse, people will look for clandestine places to have fun, also knowing that casino games are for adults, there should be no problem, everyone is responsible for their actions, in that sense, gambling addiction will never be stopped, what a Government that does such a thing can achieve is that everything is ruined and generates more problems than solutions.

The fact that they are even generating revenue from it should be a reason why they must not ban it but look for a better solution to help maintain a healthy gambling environment and system for gamblers. There are some certain measures they will take and it will help reduce addictions and underage gambling but they act like they have one serious problem with gambling apart from the fact that some people are addicted and doing some illegal things just for the sake of gambling, but if the government are serious, they can end all these problems.

I will always support strict regulation instead of banning, banning of gambling is like taking away the freedom of doing things from the people, which is unfair. The government will always try, but indeed, I've never seen a country where government's ban on gambling and other internet activities has been 100% compliant, not even in Muslims countries.

The diehard lover of gambling and risky activities will still find their way of doing that. The VPN has also been a very good choice here even though it puts many people in trouble. So long as they can locate the right casino to gamble, using VPN will not be an issue. And thanks to no-KYC casinos, especially the decentralized ones.

People abusing casinos? I dont think that makes sense. People play on casinos and end up losing money. There are people who try use money obtained by illegal means on casinos. Government eventually get track of these people and catch them.

Anything that is addictive will also be fun because of the Dopamine rush. You have to decide how much you want to keep that under control or you want to play as an addict. Dont forget that if you are getting addicted, the withdrawal when a casino does not work or you lose power at your place, will be strong and make you do wrong things.

Governments can ban a casino by any reason but people have to learn what to do with their money.

[r_victory]

In my country, physical casinos are banned, but online casinos are being regulated. This doesn't make sense; both models generate jobs, in addition to the taxes they would generate together. It's even contradictory to allow online casinos but not offline casinos. And the reason here isn't religious; perhaps it has something to do with the infiltration of organized crime in sectors like this; here in Brazil, they're almost everywhere.

Good point, there are gamblers who can managed to control and continue to enjoy but there are also gamblers who can't which turned them into addicted gambler, the outcome may hurt not only the person but also those who surrounds and care about the person, the very reason why government took their actions to prevent having more and more citizens to be inolve, it's a choice but most of the time that kind of freedom is being abused by many.

The government banning caisnos are the ones losing because they can't tax what they have banned but the banning isn't stopping people from gambling. People are looking for illegal ways to gamble and we have underground sites allowing this and people are using VPN to gamble from countries that gambling website has been prohibited. The government should look for newer ways that they can use to moderate gambling instead of thinking that banning gambling is going to be a permanent solution. All the money that they have missed on taxes could have been used to help the economy of the country therefore banning isn't the best option here.

I do not support banning casino and I'm not from a country where casinos are banned, so I don't have much to worry about.

The government will never be able to control gambling by banning casinos. If the government takes some good steps, it can be favorable for gamblers. Especially creating awareness about the harm that can be done to gamblers if they become addicted. More steps can be taken, including informing other gamblers that gambling is not a source of income, so that gamblers understand gambling better and do not take any policy that can cause them disaster. I think if the government can protect the common people of its country by creating awareness, that is the right policy. It is never possible to control gamblers by banning or forcing them.

[Shinpako09]

I somewhat agree, because even if they ban casinos, especially online, gamblers will still find a way to access them, and we know there are ways like VPN. Well, even though there are limitations or features you won’t get, you can still play without KYC. The government will lose tons of tax revenue, but the addiction still won’t be solved. I feel like banning online casinos is kinda useless, because there are always ways to access them, and they can’t stop them all, not to mention there are a lot of online casinos nowadays.

[mirakal]

In short, there's a lot of money in gambling, including taxation. But, it all depends on how the government will take advantage of it.

They don't really need to ban it. They can put a high amount of tax to pay so lessen the number of online casinos being regulated, so that there's not so much work to be done, and they could still monitor each one to avoid scams and illegal activities.

This way, they are also avoiding illegal types of gambling that are not registered or regulated because they can do it legally if they want to, as long as they abide by the rules and the tax. It's not really the gambling addiction that is the problem. It's the lack of knowledge on how they can control them or minimize the number of online casinos coming out.

Nice shot mate. Banning of gambling casinos won’t even make the problem solved, so this is just a worthless act. Instead, they could have increase the tax imposed on them so that only those big and reputable casinos will be remained, while discouraging those illegal casinos not to continue their operation.

However, that’s the government rule and decision, and all we can do is just to follow and comply. After all, that’s their loss, since they won’t be making big tax collections anymore due to inappropriate decision making.
