What if those arrested people claims that they were simply playing cards which is not prohibited when there is no money involved?

Do you think authorities will bust something without surveillance? lol.

The operation was planned and monitored for months. It was documented and there are several future plans to take down any illegal gambling activity there.

Try to search for other news about RAB and you will see.

Here, in Bangladesh, it is not clear to me that those people who arrested for gambling issues are muslim. Though people are violations the rules of the country too.

Do you mean most illegal gambling operators there are governed by people outside your country or religion? It's possible and the ones who lured are your Bangladesh people.

Like here in our country, most illegal gambling operators are Chinese (not against China but that's a fact) because there is a much more strict gambling law on mainland China that giving them limitations to their operations.
Maybe the gambling operators are governed by outside of Bangladesh though I am not sure. Because it is totally illegal and none will do such things publicly. As Bangladesh is also a poor country with vast population, so there has a doubt here to govern a casino by its people. Who knows? It can be too.

You can just assume but there's also chance that there are people around the place who can finance that illegal activities, those who are willing to take the risk knowing the amount of possibile profits once everything went out accordingly right?

Just like you said, no one knows until certain information will be able to if this news will go deeper.

Money always have the power to control greed people.

Lets say that its a poor country but doesnt mean that there would be no people that wont gamble in spite of that financial reason because once there are people whom know that there are some illegal

casinos are existing then high likely that those people would come into that venue in spite of the risk that theyre taking.For operators behind then this is a big gamble on making out some

financing on making an illegal casino because they are totally prohibited and not allowed.If there's someone on the higher rank or position in the government then its possible and can

really make this illegal casino to run more longer since there's a support behind but its impossible that it wouldnt really be busted up soon.

I am sure that this will be solved when enough money settled to the authorities because corruption and bribe is everywhere so people with money can escape with no pain from such small crimes.

I think this is not new, many countries including Bangladesh has laws against illegal gambling. So if you take the risk and then caught specially if you are 18 years old (not sure what is the legal age in Bangladesh). But in any case, you could be tried and put to jail for violating the law. Most countries in Asia have lax law in gambling, it's even reported that many politician also protected these kind of illegal vices, so it's really hard to stop them.

Members of Rapid Action Battalion have busted a mini-casino and arrested 25 people in separate drives for gambling in two areas of Ashulia in Dhaka.
It looks like a regular news in countries that have a blanket ban on gambling, once in a while we hear these news popping up here and why cant the government make it legal and earn the tax rather than busting people as it will not help them in any way as they keep on doing these and you cannot stop illegal gambling just by busting one or two casino who is flying under the radar as they keep on popping up and replace that is gone.

I think Bangladesh can be considered a third world country knowing its poverty while still keeping laws that don't permit a good developing of their economy and good lifestyle in general.In countries like this,this arrest is a common thing as the human nature does not like opression.
Yes, Bangladesh is a third world country. But the economy is growing in every year and GDP as well. Developing plans are huge but corruption is the main concern here for not upgrading the lifestyle as a whole. Gambling and Cryptocurrency both are prohibited here and considered as an offense.

I respect the customs and laws of any country.  Bangladesh is a country where Islam is the official religion.  Gambling is not permitted in this country.  Therefore, the article by the author of the topic did not surprise me. 

However, from the point of view of universal human values, prohibitions and restrictions contradict progress.

As a child, I read stories about Khoja Nasreddin, he is a very wise and intelligent person who lived in the Middle Ages in the countries of Central Asia (Iran, Iraq, Khorezm, etc.).  As far as I remember, Khoja Nasreddin played gambling, namely dice. 

I do not exclude that in the future, gambling will also be fully or partially allowed in Bangladesh. 

If this is not the case, then the youth of Bangladesh can travel abroad to play in the casinos.

Despite being a gambling-prohibited country, why there are lots of mini-casinos operating there? It's impossible that no corruption involved here or under the table negotiations.
Its really impossible that there would be no corruption behind specially if these illegal casinos had been operating for a while and havent been busted directly which does simply
means that there's someone who are behind the curtains.

When it comes to muslim countries then gambling is haram.

Bangladesh is a over populated country where ninety percent plus people are belongs to muslim family. And your statement is absolutely right, as I am also a Muslim. Gambling is Haram in sense of Muslim religion. Here, in Bangladesh, it is not clear to me that those people who arrested for gambling issues are muslim. Though people are violations the rules of the country too.

^ Probably it is and it is simple, these places don’t have any authority or valid license to operate gambling activities and offer it to the clients.
The problem with this is that there is a possibility that they are not aware of the regulations within the country and they operated gambling facilities and platforms with ignorance of the law. However, ignorance and not knowing the law will never defend them, they will still become liable for it. I just hope that other gambling facilities and platforms would try their best to comply to avoid these. It is not just a ruined reputation, it is also a shame and a very heartbreaking scene.

Looks like some officials don't follow the rules and they want to take some advantage in the current event. if not because from those who tip the higher authority, until now they maybe playing even though it's not legal in their country. surprise raid like that is common especially in the local communities and sometimes it is funny to watch. when you see them run like they are going to serve their whole life in prison.

As you've said gambling is prohibited on Bangladesh. If they are going to join in any illegal casinos, they are going to arrest them regardless of your age. Even if you are in a legal age if the they did the act against the legalization, then expect some punishment.

They cant actually totally vanish the illegal gambling but regulations may control it since Bangladesh impose a law and has a conservative culture.

In a developing, impoverished, and overpopulated country such as Bangladesh, it is practically impossible to cleanse communities, especially the thickly-populated ones, of gambling. And where there is gambling, there is corruption. Gambling is illegal but in every gambling system, somebody is rich enough to make bribes. If taken seriously, there'd be no casinos such as this. But the wealthy gambling lords could easily slip local officials and police officers juicy backhanders.
That will be the case if the government doesn't do a thing about trying to make some option for the poor people, most of these will be happy and will not stray from crime if they have the means and opportunity to have a job, I have seen this first-hand and most people who got caught will always say the same thing, they don't know where to find the means to make an honest money and government can do a lot to help these people. The problem with gambling is that it clashes with culture and religion of the country but I believe that open minded approach is the best way to go.

The bigger problem is that the illegal gambling operators themselves are oftentimes the ones who could actually do something significant to make the lives of the poor a little better. More often than not, the illegal gambling lords are either government officials themselves or their rich close relatives and friends.

I, too, come from a developing country and I have first-hand experience of local officials who are also the very people running the illegal gambling rings. The policemen, who are the very people tasked to uphold the law, are their cohorts and protectors. The chief law enforcers are mostly, if not all, under the gambling bosses' payroll.

So there's your government leaders. What else could we expect from them?

I don't take loans, ask for sig if I ever do.
On the bright side, at least they're all above 18 years old. Still in general, since the place bans gambling, I suppose the action they took was rightfully taken. Though completely banning gambling seems to have taken a bad turn for them, completely removing something people want would just breed situations where they're just going to push through it without any consequences. And hey, if people have money, they can basically almost do anything imo.

Despite being a gambling-prohibited country, why there are lots of mini-casinos operating there? It's impossible that no corruption involved here or under the table negotiations.
In the first place, I highly doubt anything "illegal" is actually operating far away from those in the higherups. You know what they say, the safest place is right under their noses after all, not to mention they can get free benefits if they handle negotiations well.
