Topic: Best solution to handle gambling addiction, in a country. - page 3. (Read 657 times)
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.
I guess banning gambling for temporary could be a good solution, but I see that is not what we see in reality. Because if a country ban the casino but they allow their elite people to play, that will be jealous in their people, and that can make a demo in their people.
The government can prohibited gambling for younger people, especially for people who are not ready with their minds. And maybe there is a psychology test for people before they gamble. So they can prevent from the addiction and the other problem. If the gambling rules can be tightened up, I guess it would help people from preventing the addiction.

In my country gambling recognized as illegal activities because my government banned gambling but it was not avoid people to being an addicted gambling because they still can gamble without the authorities know it and i think give early educations to childs about gambling advantages, long term effect, and maybe other gambling disadvantages which is lead people to being an addiction will be more effective rather than banned gambling
Banning gambling is not going to solve the problem indeed. People just go to the other countries and play there and when they do that the government is going to lose lots of tax income too.
No, removing the root is always the best solution for ridding of the problem. For example, if the drainage system is blocked with garbage, the best solution would be cleaning the drainage or try to expand it? Of course the first one. I hope you got what I mean 
. Rebutting the loss of tax income? Nah, there are still many sources available. There are the tariffs on imported products, government-run lotteries and tax from private corporations. I think it's better to sacrifice the fraction of total tax income in exchange of healthy countrymen.
I believe it is all about educating people. It people can grow a well established consciousness over the years since the day they were born, it is easy to deal with any kind of addiction.
Indeed. That's why parental guidance is vital in this matter, parents are the one who should guide their children on doing good deed first and foremost. With this plus the seminars conducted by private and public sectors about gambling addiction awareness, for sure they can build a more well-oriented community.
I think limiting to gamble is the best thing a casino can do, but they are a casino so...
This is the only thing they can do so they can minimize the future losses of gamblers and future profits of the casino. Government can't stop gamblers, that is why the casino is the only one can and also the gamblers themselves.

Banning gambling is not the solution, once a gambler always a gambler and it will just put the situation worst if they will gamble in an illegal way. People knew already the risks but they only want to take that risks to earn more money. We can't blame them, for most of the gamblers thought that gambling is an easy money scheme. Taxes will not be the hindrance if a person wanted to gamble, they will not think of the tax.
The government should just take over the lottery instead of banning it, the lottery might as well help contribute to the tax revenue intake and help the common people indirectly by relieving their wages of some of the burdens greater taxes would bring otherwise.
As what others said, a quality financial education for every people. Let them know the risks of gambling.
Speaking about the government. Here in our country, last week, they banned the major and popular lottery.
Almost 5 days banned, a lot of people got angry on the government because of banning the lottery and some are thankful because some of them are totally got rekt on the lottery reason is they are totally wasting their money because ever since they don't win even a single penny.
And another reason why the government banned it because it was suspected that the lottery was the source of CORRUPTION or within its system it has corruption happening. And now, the ban already lift.
For me, we can't really stop gambling, it's already on the nature of every people.

In my country, illegal gambling is prohibited by our government but gamblers never stop their activities since too many places for them to play gambling. I don't think to ban the gambling will be effective as long as there are no directives and advises from the government related to the harms of gambling to the society.
Also dont forget if they ban gambling on the countrys they all will gambling on the internet if they dont doing this already .
The industrie is to big for that and they will find always a way to get at some peoples everywhere around the world !

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

For me, I would not stop gambling since you will not be able to stop people from gambling, that is the nature of human. We will be ending up addicted in one thing at some point and it is ourselves that is responsible for that and not the government. Higher taxes, that is the solution of most of the countries to prevent gamblers from gambling, but still, they keep in gambling. I think the only body responsible for the gamblers here is the casinos and not the government since they can't stop people from going in and out of casinos.
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.
Banning gambling is impossible in our country because most of the shareholders or even owners of the casinos are from the government, so that is why no one has ever suggested the ban because they know it’ll just a waste of time. Also, casino cannot be blame for addiction because it is originated from the gambler, they can claim they opened just for entertainment but never forced someone to be addicted, so basically so long as casinos follow the law and don’t do anything against it then the government can ban it.
Gambling has been in existence in various forms ever since humanity is born on this Earth.
So banning will not do any good for this aspect of life of humankind.
Regulation might help but addiction to gambling is a personal choice and that individual can change his path by his own will, with the help of people surrounding him that truly care for his well-being.
For me the best solution is don’t gamble at all fo you not to be addicted, gambling is a very dangerous game to play most especially if you don’t have self control because you’ll surely end up in addiction so if you know you can’t control yourself then don’t enter into gambling. Also, proper education of pros and cons can also be good but gamblers are humans they can still be addicted if they don’t control themselves. For me banning can be the best solution because gamblers will always find a way to gamble no matter what.

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.
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.
Theres no other way rather than banning and I do agree that this would lead somehow to illegal gambling but at least it wont really rampant just like before when it isn't still banned.So banning would be the nearest thing to be done if a country would like to protect its citizen on possible gambling addiction.

Gambling is a natural activity, what leads to a problem is the over commitment of money that is not spare or able to be lost without a problem. The correct education is in money management, many are so bad with money they only manage via their wife paying all their bills. If they have no wife to force proper use of wages they suffer the poor use of money on drinking and many wasteful forms of spending.
Children can be educated on correct household economics in school and this will in turn solve many problems in a country from poor use of capital.
