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

[GeorgeJohn]

Government is supposed to looks into gambling because gambling has ruined some people life, especially those people who doesn't know their limitations in gambling, at least government suppose have limit for them so that some people will learn how to control their emotions on gambling, I believe with such regulations so many persons will not be addicted in the gambling

There's something I notice gambling has done to some people, the harm gambling caused to people can never be heal in next twelve years coming, so with initiating the ideas of gambling in any country that will make some people to their limit..I'm in support of government intervening in gambling limits

Nah, it’s not gambling itself but their greed and addiction that ruined them. It’s their own choice, the decision is always theirs. No one is forcing them to play or deposit. Also, putting limits like lowering the maximum daily deposit isn’t a long-term solution. Once they figure out how to deposit crypto through international casinos, they’ll be back again. In the end, it’s the crypto international casinos that will benefit the most under these laws, sooner or later.

Everyone is to be blamed for their actions. The government didn’t make them to be addict, it is from their own self will that generated into this. The government may enact such rules, but how long will it be effective and during that period of effectiveness, how many of them will still be affected to the extent that they reduce that addiction. It is very hard to control people that are already addicted, they’ll always look for a way to satisfy their addiction and when they get another, your own method of stopping them becomes outdated and no longer effective. How I wish addicts could control themselves at their early stages in gambling, there will be reduced repercussions of loss of money from them to casinos, but the reverse is the case and they have to live by that until they find help and also ready to reduce the addiction and become responsible gamblers.

[mirakal]

I don’t see it’ll be fair for us gamblers. Although I’m into the thought that this is all for responsible gambling, but to think that there are actually high rollers betting in the casino, that means they don’t settle for minimal amount, but they bet for what is higher from the minimal amount. And they actually know what they’re doing, so the government shouldn’t intervene with it.

Let the gamblers experience losses in gambling, because that’s the only way they will learn on how to manage their bankroll and set their betting limits. And just to be clear, we aren’t government pets, and they should let them grow on our own from our previous mistakes and losses in gambling.

Yeah, those guys who are already affected by gambling and are now addicted to it find it difficult to control themselves and can't restrict their gambling. However, at least the government is taking some steps to keep them a little farther away from the casinos. Those who are close to addiction will also be safeguarded from it through government involvement. For those who are already addicted, the government should launch a program that clarifies the nature of addiction and provides guidance on how someone can rid themselves of it. There are many people who could be saved, but due to a lack of knowledge, they may consider themselves addicted. This can also be clarified through the program if the government launches it.

I am not sure that such rules will please players. Although 500 euros per day seems like a normal amount to me, if you count further, I can play with this amount only 4 times a month, and if you continue to count, the situation becomes really sad. Sometimes we see players' accounts that are much higher than these amounts; I am sure that for those who are fans of gambling, this will look like a violation of their freedom. Although regulation seems to protect people from gambling addiction and their financial situation, I think people will find ways to circumvent such rules, since it is difficult to force a person to do this or that until he himself realizes the benefit or harm of certain actions.

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

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?

To lose €500 per day, it's a disaster for me but that law is good because it has a limit of €2,000/month and €15,000 per year. The huge problem of gamblers is that when they become addicted, they don't know how to stop and when to stop. Addicts usually sell their cars and their houses to get back what they lost. Giving them such limit is a very good idea because why would any addict sell their house when their limit is 15K Euro per year? If someone gets addicted and loses 15K in a few months, they won't be able to gamble until the remaining months expire to reset their annual limit. So it's a very good approach to my mind. I don't think it will force average citizen gamblers to use illegal means but it will definitely force millionaires to travel outside of the country, that's what many muslims do, they travel in my country to gamble because it's restricted in their country.

[bakasabo]

What’s next? Put limits on alcohol and cigarette consumption too? Why not just ban it completely? Ban cigarettes, alcohol, gambling, vaping and anything else that people spend their money on to have fun.

No, governments shouldn’t be doing anything like that. If a person is dedicated enough, he will find a way to ruin himself. In fact, government intervention will make the situation even worse. What we need is better education people so people don’t become addicts. Apparently the public education system isn‘t working the way it should.

Imagine one day government sets limit how much a person is allowed to spend on food or eat daily. From the idea of topic, that will make people more fit.

Government should at first find the reason why so many people turn to gambling. Divide into those who gamble for fun, those who do it to earn, those who simply loves gambling. Government should not touch those who do it for fun or love gambling and work with those who gamble to earn. Solution would be providing them more possibilities to earn, if they need money so much. Those who gamble to earn, lose and try to recover - that is the main problem. Solve that instead of limiting everyone.

It will give rise to illegal gambling because there are obviously too many gamblers that can not abide to this kind rules of being limited to the amount that they can wager in a day. That rule will also force some gamblers to have different gambling accounts which can be created with the details of their friends and family. I am not sure how well this restriction can stop gamblers but maybe it will help a little.

[Muba20]

This would not even work, if government set up a limit on how much one person can gamble in a day then the person can use multiple online accounts to pass that. And if they is a way the government can make it that one person to one account then there would be non gamblers selling out their accounts limits to gamblers then creating a way for more people to get into gambling.
I am still clear about this if yet he government are concerned about gambling then they should create awareness about the dark side of irresponsible gambling.

If the government wants to control gambling, it is not possible to control it with such restrictions. But if the government works to increase awareness. It is possible to educate the general public to make them aware of gambling. If limitations are given in the case of betting, gamblers will tend to look for different platforms. Which can increase the tendency to gamble further.

If the government wants to monitor properly, it will be able to control all the regulated casino platforms to a great extent, but it will not work in the case of other platforms. If such a policy can be implemented, the level of addiction to gambling can decrease. Gamblers will learn to conduct responsible gambling. Some of its negative aspects are that personal freedom among gamblers will decrease. Attraction towards unknown platforms may increase.

This will be effective for offline casinos, but this will also push gamblers to choose online casinos. In the results, offline casinos will be affected. And we know that gamblers won't stop gambling. Much more if they were already addicted. Of course, casinos won't agree to this, knowing that they will suffer an income decline.

It may work in some places, but it is not a solution to stop addiction. I think the best thing for the government to do is to increase the minimum limit so that only rich people can afford it.

[nara1892]

I don't think anything wrong with implementing anything done with good intentions and goals, especially if the regulations are so strict that gamblers can't do anything but follow them. I don't know what the regulatory scenario is, but if the government has such a method, it's clearly a good idea. If, for example, the data shows that the number of gamblers losing is still very high, the government could lower the limits to a lower limit for each gambler.
So far, I've found this idea to be quite effective, as it indirectly trains gamblers to control themselves.

What is concerning is the scenario and oversight of the imposed restriction regulations. It is true that these regulations can become a tool that indirectly helps gamblers to control themselves. However, for those who are already addicted, they will certainly find loopholes in the system.
The government's focus must also be clear, either to reduce the number of gamblers or to decrease the rate of gambling addiction, so that they can accurately measure the success of the regulations in place.

Well, that's where the problem lies, as we know that when a gambler is trapped in a cycle of addiction, they are usually willing to do anything just to gamble, so when the government implements such regulations, it is likely that gamblers will find ways so that they can continue to gamble according to their wishes, especially in the amount of money allocated, So I believe that in the end the government will still not be able to limit the gambling activities of its people.

That's a very thoughtful question. I believe setting daily or monthly gambling limits, like the ones used in Finland, can be a good move to help reduce gambling loss most especially to those who are addicted, It creates a safety net, especially for those who may struggle with self-control.
But however gambling is not approved in so many countries based on religious beliefs for example Saudi Arabia, so definitely government in such countries like this can't make such law, so basically in my own point of view I think the key is not just placing limits, but also combining it with education, self-exclusion options, and support systems. Responsible gambling isn't just about restrictions, it’s about helping people make informed, healthy decisions.

[Leahized]

We all know that the alot of gamblers will somehow bypass this law with the use of VPN and/or crypto casinos to hide their identity. But then, it is still a good move by the government to restore sanity back to the gamblers. Even though it will not work for all the gamblers in the country, the few gamblers that will maintain this gambling limit set by the government will be a plus to the government. We will be counting them among the few responsible gamblers available.

You always remember, a tide always keeps his identity a secret and keep it secret throughout his life. He believes that he wants to see every one while gambling, and his identity should not be revealed to anyone. If the government of a country has issued such laws, the number of jutes in that country will be greatly reduced. And will be economically self -sufficient. But fortunately I think such a law will not work well, because everyone is secretly gambling. Moreover, if a juror once falls into greed, he will not obey any law. Because every person wants to own more money and he has a lot of wealth. But we should always remember, it is very important to have ourselves well without thinking about our money.

[Solodoski]

This question is why would the government what to restrict how its citizens engage in gambling? Maybe to help stop people from being addicted or losing to much to gambling. For me I don't think that it's necessary, because those that engage in gambling are adult and should know what's right and wrong for them, so I think that ashoild be their decision to.make if they want to reduce they way they gamble.
I think reducing the amount people use in gambling might also affect the government, because they might lose some investors that's are into gambling industries,  and that might make the the government loss revenue from the gambling industries.

[bias]

IMO it depends firstly on the country and how it wants to treat gambling. Finland's government is stricter than others when it comes to gambling, but such limitations seem to be effective in terms of spreading gambling and addiction. I don't know if this will force gamblers to move to another country just to gamble. It seems unrealistic to my ears. However, trying to find other illegal or undercover ways sounds more logical.

[qwertyup23]

Should this is be good deterrent to at least minimized gambling in a certain country?

I am pretty sure that implementing this kind of rule will minimize the impact of gambling against over-expenditure on a gambler.

The only problem that I see with this kind of set-up is that, technically, the government is also reducing the amount of revenue on their end. For every gambled money, a portion of such will be paid as tax for licenses and regulations. If you add a limit on how much a gambler would spend, then this would also directly the government as a whole.

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?

This is also a good point, however, the ends achieved of minimizing addiction would slowly materialize.

If a gambler truly wants to gamble to the point that they would transfer countries to continue with their habits, then this could somehow affect positively the government of that country. Also, this would also add an additional barrier of entry against gambling addiction.

You've already answered your question with this statement "Maybe to help stop people from being addicted or losing too much to gambling" there are some societies where gambling activities has become too much thereby leading to addiction and sometimes chaos which force the government to intervene, therefore they try to regulate gambling activities to reduce the rate of addiction. However, it's not wise for some government to forcefully stop adults from gambling, it's a choice but don't you think that when it becomes a problem the government has every right to step in and set a balance therefore i support that in societies where addiction to gambling is getting out of hand the government has every right to limit the amount people gamble with daily, sometimes adults make mistakes too.

[Iroh]

The government in my opinion, should have little to no interference on how and what activities one spends his money as long as that activity doesn't go about to bring anything detrimental on other people around him.
If the government has the freedom and authority to do this, then what else would they do and to what extent would they be willing to go? If the government does have these restrictions in place, it would be unsurprising to see people slide into unconventional means to be able to bypass any regulations.

In the long run, it's all about the individual's perspective of gambling. The same gambling that ruins one individual, also helps the next alleviate stress, and also helps the next make some extra bucks and so on, while implementing such regulations could potentially help some folks, especially the addicted one's, it could also turn out to potentially affect normal players too.
So the best solution is for individuals to work on themselves and their flaws and make sure they take up the right approach to gambling, because that's the only lasting solution. The problem isn't gambling but the gambler's.
