Considering the gambling addiction ratio in a country is increasing rapidly, what are the best possible solutions the citizens or government of that nation can implement to deal with the problem. Before you jump right into suggesting, the government should ban/tag gambling related activities as illegal in the country, you should understand that running away from a problem don't actually solve that problem. Beside proposing a ban on gambling only encourages the citizens of that nation to gamble illegally.

I thought it was a gambling addition, you have misspelled the word "addiction" on your title.
Anyway, I think banning the online gambling will help for a certain country to regulate the gambling addiction of the citizen. Well, it could be a possible 100 percent zero-gambling rate. But, in a democratic country many people will probably hate if there is a statutory law against gambling addiction. Specially in my country.

Thanks for the correction, surprisingly not many notice my mistake that's just to show what's actually going on, on this part of the forum. You hardly see a sensible conversation between two parties instead most individuals login drop a comment and leave. Glad I read through comments to observe any reasonable contributions.

Back on topic, I doubt your suggestion will go a long way in solving the problem. Citizens of the nation can always gamble on unregulated platform especially now we have crypto related spoikbooks all over the net without restriction. I'm just not a fan of running away from a problem in this case banning gamble platforms.

In my own opinion, the best way to reduce gambling addiction is by educating the masses about the problems associated with gambling addiction. Letting people know gambling addiction can affect their daily activities and also financial status negatively will go a long way. Placing a ban like you mentioned is a no no, it would rather escalate the situation.

This is actually a pretty good suggestion. I also believe that enough knowledge about something can make a difference which will allow people to make better decisions and sound judgement.

Banning gambling won't do much change in reducing the addiction in one country. Gambling is also a business for those who own casinos, and the like. And they will surely disagree with it (ban). Another is that, being an addict is a choice. It's a matter of self-control. People are somehow blinded by the benefits alone without considering the risks it possess. So giving them insights may be able to change their perspectives.

Educating the mass may not change those who are already addicted but for others who are prone to become a victim, they must know better so they will not be trapped in the pitfalls of gambling and other forms of addiction, in general.

Don't ban them for christs sake. Make money out of them. They're probably used to throwing away large amounts of money anyways. Tax them higher. As professor hulk says, its a win win situation. Casinos would now have to increase fees and gamblers would have to also adjust. You can't really control people's wants and needs to gamble, so make it a little difficult and inconvenient for them with high fees. Plus you add considerable amount to your government's funds.

Maybe that's the right way for casinos in the country. But now gambling is also modern, where they can play gambling online. And gambling sites are not only located in these countries, but gambling sites can be accessed internationally. Is it possible that foreign gambling sites will comply with regulations in that country? of course finally have to apply kyc.

But I think that method will not work for online gambling because the government has limited regulations in its territory. Maybe this will work if governments around the world have an agreement to tighten gambling, so gambling regulations will apply internationally throughout the country.

The truth of the whole thing is that, even the government has been benefiting from the gambling been done by her citizens either direct or indirect, so, they can't just wakeup and get gambling ban. Gambling can be regulated by the government in order to put her citizens to check to avoid addiction.

A ban on gambling will never make any country gambling-free. I am quite sure of it. It will only make gambling illegal, but still present. Not a great step for me. People who would like to gamble will always find a way.

I am a little confused with your response. Banning online gambling will result to possibly 100 percent zero-gambling rate? What about the so many gambling games that are not offered online? Gambling is not only offered online, right? We have physical casinos and gambling bars everywhere. What about them? Moreover, there are so many kinds of physical gambling games outside casinos such as horse race, lotteries, and so on.

Regulations are much better than blanket ban on gambling if you truly want to curb gambling addiction.

Guys, I think that before banning gambling and justifying it with a real addiction for a gambler, you need to have certain medical conclusions that would give reason to make such bans if there are no legal grounds, because this is a direct violation of human rights. If a person wants to play a game of chance, then no one can stop him.

Gambling should not be prohibited, because it is the same as banning alcohol or smoking.

there are bans for alcohol and smoking but only on a specified area .there are also bans that are only limited it mainly happens if there are public occasions but i dont see that gambling is being treated this way .

banning gambling can be the best solution to stop people from gambling but only if the gambling addiction is already an epidemic or viral because this will cause serious problem if not treated early .

Yes for sure all gamer will have to follow their rules and will have to work accordingly. If the casino will pay high tax so they will take high fees and charges but the gamblers will have to obey and keep paying all fees. Patience is the only way to get proper gambling time at any place better don’t mess with casino rules.

If they would tend to legalized gambling into their country then most likely they are not really focus on protecting its citizens but rather they are concern on the revenue or tax that it would get from casino businesses.Neither which way you would go,people would find a way to gamble,it might not happen physically but it can be also done thru online.
So getting rid of this thing is almost impossible.

That would be a win-win if this people who are wasting their money has really enough money yo waste, what if majority of these gamblers are poor people?
The thing is, if the government allow a casino to operate and it's been proven it cause much addiction to people that it could destroy a family, that cannot be called a win-win, and the government has to make some action for the benefit of the majority, casinos are good as they provide entertainment but not for everyone.

I once heard before from an elderly (Tho, even if this is kinda funny thing but somehow it can actually make sense). He said that in order for you not to get addicted to any type of gambling or even womanizing you should not have money.

As I grow older it started to make more sense. I start understand that one not by you literally having no money but instead to focus on spending your money to the things that you need.

By that being said I would love to suggest that we should encourage everyone to start doing the changes on their selves. Is spending $100 in gambling much worth it than buying a grocery that might last in a week or even more? It's about setting someone's mindset IMO

I think they need some advice's, so that they will really understand. It can help people not to addicted in gambling, because sometimes lack of control self can causes addiction. Banning gambling is not a solution, because there are some people dont follow the regulations of the country.

That will need help from every people so all people can know about the risk of the addicting in gambling. We need to join with the government to give education to people so it will reach many people in out there and they can realize the danger of playing gambling. If education success, I think that will reduce the number of gamblers because people can know and understand what will happen to them if they are addicted to gambling.

That's right, but gambling will probably never be banned in countries because they also benefit with taxes and royalties.
In addition to all the gambling addiction that exists in this business, there are plenty of facilities to treat them if anyone is really stuck in the gambling addiction.
Most everything is controlled by the business industry.

I really do agreed on you statement sir, in fact here in my country Lottery here is a type of gambling here which is legally operated because the government has a percentage benefits from it aside from the tax. And many of the citizens here are really addicted into this things, and majority of the community rely their lucky fortune to lottery despite of their poverty situation.

Lottery will never be banned of course because it's government operated business.The funds will be collected and will be given to those people who have experienced calamities and misfortunes.If you think of it,lottery has a great advantage but for those who have been addicted to it,i just hope that they will open their minds to the possibilities if they just keep on losing in lottery tickets.

if its a public based lottery because most of them are affliated by the governments but there are also private lotteries that are not connected to the governments .

you should think twice before betting on them because your money is only a single purpose , i mean when you loose you will loose without any helping the poor but only helping those private gambling operators to become more rich .

also , there are countries that gambling is restricted , china is a great example .

In regards to online gambling, there's not much the government can do to restrict it's citizens from gambling. They can blanket ban the gambling sites but VPN would easily enable users to visit the site they like. For real world casino, a government can easily implement rules to restrict the amount and time it's citizen utilizes to gamble as users are made to carry their IDs in almost all of casinos.

I think that banning gambling is not the solution,citizens should be aware of problems that can arise from gambling addiction.The gambling companies who do a lot of Tv ads and say only few milliseconds gamble responsibly is not enough.The government can create ad campaigns that talk gambling thoroughly and explain it in detail to the citizens.

This is a good idea but the problem with this is the implementation and the people who are willing to listen to the campaign and attend seminars about gambling addiction and how it will affect a person's life negatively. I still think it is best to impose bet limits for players and anyone not following this kind of regulation will be disciplined or have a necesasry punishment. I also agree that banning is not the solution, it will only push their citizen to commit crimes regarding gambling games.

Gambling is not illegal in our country, we have a lottery, we have a lot of casinos and online and everyone here can play an online casinos, but unfortunately our country do not have restrictions and do not have a program to handle addiction to gambling, this is left to private institutions and the family to take care of their loved one's addiction to gambling.

It is highly unlikely that a country will ban gambling. That is not a sound approach to address the problems of a little minority in the gambling community. There are far fewer gambling addicts compared to responsible gamblers.

Measures should be introduced by the gambling industry to address these gambling addicts and to prevent addiction to other gamblers. Responsible gambling initiatives could be launched including, but not limited to, providing hotlines for gamblers the very moment they feel like they cannot anymore control their gambling urge, or gambling reminders dissemination through various media, or perhaps free counselling to problematic gamblers, and so on.
