The best way to reduce gambling addiction is not by banning gambling since it's not possible to forbid everyone from gambling, people must still gamble illegally. There are various ways the government can educate people on the risks involved in being addicted to gambling, this approach will be more effective.

At least, the government can use some regulations to control people who can play gambling. And perhaps, people who want to play gambling needs to have some license from the psychology or other institutions that explain that person will be responsible for everything that might happen in the gambling games. Giving educating people about the risk of playing gambling will be a good idea since many people don't realize that so they can think that there is a risk of playing gambling.

Maybe that's one solution but I doubt casinos will limit how much you will spend on them. I have never heard a casino limiting a certain gambler as they want to spend you more on them. But if in case in the future, they decided to help an addicted gambler, what they can do is give certain limits to them and be firm with that decision. And all the surrounding casinos should do the same. Because if not, the gambler will just hop on in each and every casino he can play with.

If you let the casinos know that you have a gambling problem they will help you stop your addiction and i've heard they'll even encourage you to join a certain program. For online casinos it's the same or sometimes they even have a feature where you could ban your account for a certain time. In the end it's up to the person that's addicted if he's willing to put a stop to his own addiction or just let it continue to ruin his life.

The most important thing is that gambling should be age restricted in every country... some countries are already doing this effectively.

Gambling addiction should be treated like general addictions...
One of the most effective ways to treat the addiction is via gradual withdrawal from gambling till you stop completely. If you are the type that gamble 7 hours a day, reduce it to 4 hours the next week... Example:
*Week One: 7 hours
*Week Two: 4 hours
*Week Three : 2 hours
*Week Four: 1 hour
*Week Five: 30 minutes
*Week Six: 10 minutes
*Week Seven : No gambling
This will allow time for your body to adjust to your new gambling habit.

Meanwhile as you withdraw gradually, try also to gradually replace the gambling with non-addictive Fun stuff.

Note that if your regular gambling habit is paying your bills and earning you consistent income then it definitely does not qualify as addiction in my opinion. Continue gambling but it must be a good/ethical gambling

Increasing the tax rates for the rewards we are making from gambling can make the people to stay away from it at some extent because most of the gamblers are doing to for money so when they need to give half the rewards to the government in the form of tax if there is a win but when we lose its completely on our head.

I think this will have no effect. People will still play in gambling casinos. Remember it is an easy money if they win, so they won't mind paying high taxes for it. I believe it is best for the government to tightly monitor the gambling activity in their country. The government must implement a daily allowable amount of money to gamble in a casino, and punish both the operator and the player if they don't follow this rule. The allowable amount to gamble is dependent on the certain percentage of monthly earning of the player. This way, they will at least limit a players overspending in gambling activities.

But it is impossible to implement in the reality.Government cannot monitor each and every people who are going to casino and how much they were spending for it.My suggestion hold some weigh because when the gambler win they need to give most to the government but if they lose they will lose everything so this can make the people to realize why they need to hold such amount of risk.

Most of the players are rich, as you can see in the casinos, some of them are mafias. It doesn't matter for them even the taxes goes high in gambling. I think the government will not give any attention to those people who are getting addicted because it's their life. Some of them are considering gambling as entertainment only so it's very complex if the government gets into it.

Yeah it is not possible for government to examine all the gamblers they only can supervise an area or a city but now a day almost everyone is gambling and day by day gambling is gaining popularity. Gambling is self chosen say of earning there are millions of casinos so it is hard to prevent someone to gamble and I don't consider gambling addiction that bad

Why not limit the gambling days and instead of total ban it should be only accessible during weekends. Cockfighting is the way most people gamble here in my municipality but the mayor banned it, the people look for other place where to gamble, totally it can't be stopped. I see to put a limitation over gambling might be a good solution.

You can ban physical gambling or betting on sports which are played locally but there is no way to ban then gambling globally. I know many people are still gambling easily online while the gambling is legally not allowed in their country.

Government cannot handle the gambling addiction. It is the responsibility of the individual to know the bad effects of gambling. Those who still not understand this, will surely understand once they will lose big portion of their money in gambling.

You had point educatetion and knowledge how to learn self control playing in gambling is the best way to avoid people become addictive. Preach them about the negative effect of gambling if they didn't how to control greedy as gamblers.
About the gambling banning I agree isn't the solution the problems if the government banned gambling as legit a lot gamblers they play underground illegally isn't possible to them.

Government does not only take action if there is no alarming results of gambling, if they see that gambling is already rampant and it already affected lives especially the poor ones, the best solution to that is just to ban gambling, and I think some countries have already done that.

Like I earlier said, placing a ban on gambling won't and can't never solved the problem. The counties that have tried this solution (banning) what effect has it had? Sure for some time, Due to fear of punishment from the government, the gamblers might take some break off gambling but on the long term infact, it only results to illegal gambling sportbooks which takes away revenue of the nation.

I'm of the opinion of enlightening the citizens on handling gamble addiction, these can be achieved through education especially in the university since most addicts are usually teenagers and young adult.

I can't think of the best solution aside from banning gambling, educating people about gambling addiction is useless IMO, they won't listen, and they are matured enough to understand what addiction is, also, I don't think the government will add a curriculum just to discuss about gambling addiction, and ways to avoid and solve it.

Banning may not solve the problem, but it could minimize it.

I agree! there is no solution to this problem if a person is already addicted to gambling then it is up to the relatives to push him in getting therapy because that will be the solution for a person to recuperate from his addiction, And like you said there is no solution for the problem the only thing the government do is to ban gambling and to just minimize the problem and giving them an alternative solution because we can not take that out from them, preventing anyone to gambling is the only option.

Handling gambling addiction in a country, must be taking dominated by government. There must be a regulation on each players, and everybody should be observe capacity of finances before having involvement on specific gambling activities.

If government will push thru, it can be done and it can prevent and control the addiction to dominate inside the country, government can sort those people who will be authorized to play and makes some good rules regarding to the time frame of each events that they will participate so it will not
be tolerated that much.

I believe the best solution for gambling addiction is self-awareness and educating the young ones about the cause and effect of playing gambling. It should all starts in ourselves that we should discipline ourselves first before preaching others, especially to the young ones. Gambling is already in there before those children were born, parents and teachers should teach those children of how gambling or any kind of addiction is dangerous to them.

Giving the real examples of the outcome from gambling addictions to the younger generation, by taking the real experiences from previous addicts, might be more easily accepted by children so they will feel afraid to do so if one day they are tempted to try it. And for those who have already entered into it, hopefully they will be very careful not to fall into the abyss of misery by doing self-control.

Very nice ideas but I think governments may not do that and remember that governments also do benefit from the gambling companies through tax and reducing the time or days that people play gambling may affect this benefit to governments. In my country it is not a bad thing to play gambling and there is no law prohibited any individual not to open gambling businesses. In fact some of our politicians do open sport betting central as a constituency projects! We should only advise people to play gambling with the money they can part with and maybe report perceived addicted person to government’s agencies for rehabilitation.

Not in our municipality's case as our Mayor totally bans cockfighting and even the newly constructed building for such gambling has been closed and even card games have been prohibited, though there are still doing it in a secretive way some are still punished if caught on the act. Our Mayor is a woman and totally not into gambling, and right now people in our municipality feels change really is coming.

That's not an easy task doing individual requirement, if a gamblers wants to gamble, he can do that online and just fine a way to gamble anonymously.

All right, let us crush out declaring gambling illegal. Although this might be the most effective way to really discourage gambling addiction, this has also a huge disadvantage to the country. After all, the revenue coming from gambling is so significant that it would be a big loss to the national coffers if it is outrightly declared as such.

What are we left now? I have several ideas. But I'll just provide 5 for now.

The issuance of gambling permits and licenses should be tightened. Gambling businesses should not be as ubiquitous as it is today.
Gamblers should apply and register themselves as well as their financial capacity when joining a gambling establishment.
Gambling establishments should follow strict business hours. 24 hours gambling is not allowed.
Gamblers should have a permit coming from their spouse. Families are often left out to the sidelines due to gambling addiction.
Gambling establishments will have to set a maximum loss to gamblers according to their category, which will be determined by their financial capacity.

Actually it so hard to fight gambling addiction like even government do some things about it like high the tax then more about this

Then for me it really depends in the users who do gamble like they need to control themselves because addiction can't control like this is emotion so you need to have limit always everytime you want to gamble

Government can only put taxes on gambling if they allow the gambling in their country. Many countries have declared gambling illegal so they cant charge any taxes on gambling. Gambling addiction cannot be controlled because people gamble anonymously online which is hidden from the government and from the parents also.
