Do you think governments should set limits on how much one can gamble daily?

[DYOR+BTC]

Talking about setting gambling limits by government, i dont think there's any need involving government in gambling related matters because gambling is a voluntary activity that do not require force before going into it. It is clearly stated we should gambling with what we can lose and never what we can not lose, if the instructions are properly followed i don't think there will be room for abusive gambling at any time. So speaking of government intervention in gambling related matters, i don't think there will be need for that ones gamblers eliminate greed

This will totally help to control gambling addiction if implemented properly. The only problem is it’s hard to implement this in online casino since there’s a lot of choices to play so you can just create account or use other account on different casino once you already reach your gambling limit.

This is only possible if all online casino will be regulated and coordinated with the gambling limit of each player. Also, casino needs to do a mandatory KYC during registration for this plan to work.

In conclusion, there’s a lot to do first before this limits happened.

It should be on the individual himself. Because it is his money, so he should take care of his own business. The government has a lot of things to take care of and this angle is quite too much for the govt to handle, in my opinion. So don't rely from anyone else's help but yourself. It is your life, so mind your own business as we say it. Other people or entity won't bother your life. How you uplift it or go down with it, is all yours.

How can they restrict it? They can't control it as long as the internet is open. They can only impose restrictions on physical casinos or control state-run sites. But there are countless global sites on the internet, they can't interfere with them. I don't think the state should get involved in these matters. People should be free to gamble as they wish. This is not an area where the state should intervene.
Government employees can't gamble, such rules already exist. But they can't impose restrictions on ordinary people.

The government has only limitations on how they can restrict something to their citizens. Most of the work will be done by the person himself. Yes, they can impose restrictions but if the person will access the black market, he can. So what I am trying to convey here is that it is the individual himself that can contain his habits and so it is his upper hand how he will handle himself when it comes to gambling and other activities.

Well, I think there are other things that governments are supposed to look into not gambling at all. However, gambling is a personal decision so setting a limit for gamblers might not stop them from gambling because most gamblers are only doing it for fun and entertainment. So putting such law in a country would definitely going to be a very big disadvantage because is pretty obvious that gamblers would definitely look for their way and move out of the country.

[Onyeeze]

Even though government set a limit of amount someone can Gamble within the country jurisdiction I don't think about it will stand because they don't have the radar that you can monitor every gambler Who gambles in a particular day, so government can get the census expect that every gamblers have a registration in that country, for government to restrict a gamblers I don't think that is possible.

[Questat]

If that is the case, then the government will surely lost some profits that they can benefit out from these operating casinos, so I would say they won’t agree with this, nor the casinos themselves because that will also limit their future profits.

Gambling isn’t a game of regulations and restrictions, but it’s more on enjoying the people’s freedom wherein gambling serves a good alternative for those who are fond in betting on their favorite entertaining games.

People themselves should be more responsible on their gambling access and activities, and the government will only serve as their guide, not to create decisions for them.

[Nothingtodo]

The government can issue certain conditions and certain rules or resolutions for gambling and casinos, but in that case, how can the government impose rules and limits on an individual?
There will be no such rule from the government and how can the government take such action against an individual.
A casino is made up of all users, nationally and internationally. If the government wants, it can impose special rules or limitations on the people of that country, but how can it impose limitations on people from other countries?

As what the question is, Do you think governments should set limits on how much one can gamble daily?

It could be helpful but I still find it odd somehow or maybe it’s just me. Why should anyone control how much I’m willing to gamble? What if it’s my lucky day and I decide to place a huge bet? And how would they even know how much I can actually afford to gamble? Time based restrictions make more sense instead imo... They could just set a time limit of gambling session  for gamblers who opt in or maybe find a better way to implement it.

As what the question is, Do you think governments should set limits on how much one can gamble daily?

No, I dont think so. This will affect the casino's business. Casino earn big profit from people who gamble with large amounts even if its bit by bit. If they government set a daily limit, those players wont be able to spend the entire money on gambling in one day. And also, even if it was effective, it wont reduce gambling addiction in the country. Addicted highrollers will create as multiple account, making sure they spend the entire money and get satisfied.

Recreational activities or whatnot still require some proper guidance to establish some laws which what the government does. Having the government involved doesn’t necessarily mean they will be arresting anyone who’s involved.

If a government ended up doing such drastic measures mean either gamblers in the country have not been able to stay responsible or they just hate gamblers. But if citizens are doing well and gambling is instead generating revenue then the government will not find the need to do this.

For example, in Finland:

Veikkaus has the following compulsory loss limits in place applicable to all of their games (excluding Casino Helsinki): €500/day; €2,000/month; and €15,000/year.

https://iclg.com/practice-areas/gambling-laws-and-regulations/finland

Should this is be good deterrent to at least minimized gambling in a certain country? Or does it force gamblers to uses illegal means or even travel outside of the country that has this strict law to continue with their gambling?

In Finland, the limit on the amount of loss is set exactly like this, in which case a gambler cannot lose more than 500 euros per day, 2000 euros per month, and 15,000 euros per year. Maybe this can be a significant way to reduce losses for a user, but it can also be a question of how much profit a gambler can make per day? If the loss is determined, of course the government should determine the profit. Here, it should limit how much a gambler can win per day. The government should also limit how many times a gambler can bet in a month, how many times a year he can bet. If the amount of bet is determined, the gambler will definitely be forced to be under control.

I disagree with this concept, because it gives the impression the citizen is owned by the government. I believe each person has to take responsability for their own decisions and actions, so they can learn with the potential outcomes (being them good or bad). When the government makes decisions for you, they are actually forbidding the individual the possibility of learning and developing himself as individual.

Free will was guaranteed to us for a reason, and if it wasn't an important reason, we would have been created as machines, robots which the sole purpose of following orders and commands.

In the casino's business side, this is bad. But for the people, the consumer, which the main goal of the government to protect, it's perfect.
Also, the chance of revenue that the government will get from casinos' taxes/fees could decrease because of this, less revenue for casinos could affect the revenue that by government gets from them (not sure about this).

Government can only have this rules on those casinos that accept fiat or only on land based casino will they effect this law and not with cryptocurrency casino. When place this restrictions or laws it wouldn't affect those who are gambling with cryptocurrency or Bitcoin because they can on their own fund their gambling accounts at any given time without the government having to monitor them. Yeah, this could be another way to control loses and reduce addiction because whenever they got to their limits they may likely stop gambling till the next month or week or year before they can start to gamble again.

I don’t think that would solve any problem. That’s because, they don’t get to qualify people’s income level and majority of those that you find in gambling houses are those that are looking to get money. Many of these people fall below that set limit and would just be gambling them all away anyway. Those who play well above that limit are those that are capable and it sure doesn’t stop them from opening multi accounts which creates even a more bigger problem as they would be breaking casino terms.

Imposing limits like this helps... but I don't believe they're a "complete solution" in and of themselves.

The goal is to reduce the risk of gambling addiction and also contain the financial losses that affect entire families... but I think it goes beyond that... in terms of public health, uncontrolled gambling has impacts that go far beyond the individual player; it affects the economies of entire neighborhoods and cities... people stop consuming products and services to dedicate themselves solely to gambling, which affects many people.

Prohibit and limit gambling games is good, ok.... but it must be done wisely because as you said, these people will migrate to a illegal markets and unregulated casinos. So, this affects tax collection and also puts people at even greater risk biggest.
Onmy opinion... the best way to solve this problem once and for all would be for the government to invest also in financial education, starting with raising awareness about responsible money management in schools.

Well, definitely a law like this will surely help cub and reduce the amount of money which gamblers spend on gambling, and I believe it will also help gamblers to start being more careful and keep record of their gambling expenditures at all times, so as to know exactly when to stop and take a break if they want to gamble again in that day, and all through the week, month and year, as if he or she ended up reaching his or her yearly threshold in one day, then it simply means he or she won't be able to gamble again for the whole year until next year again.

A law and restriction like this will definitely work and go a long way in helping create a better gambling society, but only disadvantage is that this is going to negatively impact the income of casinos, and again, if a law like this must be implemented, then it must be implement across the whole world so that no gambler will have a place to run to to enable them gamble without limits.

[Darker45]

I agree with this measure. If they want to lose more, then let them travel abroad or do something else. But if they're caught illegally going around their limits, continue their vice and irresponsibility, there should be another batch of penalties for them.

The laws have to be strict and its implementation equally strict for people to learn to follow them. Otherwise, there's always a way to disregard them. The society in general will suffer. This is what's happening in my god-forsaken country.

Wow. This is a great question that I haven't come across in a long time. I think that it would help a lot of people out jf they did for sure. I think that if they did do something like that the folks who wanted to gsmble who had lots of money would have to fill out some sort of form to prove their net worth and then determine whether or not they could afford to lose this money or not. The scale of whay they could gamble per day could be like 2% of their total net worth in like a day or something and no more than 10% in a quarter or something. This would be an ethical way for casinos to make sure they don't ruin anyone's life, but its not like they care about that anyhow.

[Solosanz]

It's a good implementation.

It's not about the gambler will gamble on illegal casinos, using alt accounts to gamble more etc, because such thing can't be controlled at all, no one can completely control a person.

Rather than completely ban gambling or making it harder to gamble, having restriction on amount we can gamble might be the best decision.
