Unless he feels something is wrong with him and he immediately asks @OP for help, @OP has to help him out of his gambling problem.
But we know that most gamblers will not realize they have a gambling addiction but refuse to tell the truth.
Maybe what @OP can do is tell his friend to reduce the amount of time and money he spends on gambling so he can slowly overcome his gambling addiction problem.
His friend must learn to control himself when gambling and limit the money for gambling.
Maybe it's hard for his friend but worth it because it will help him escape his gambling addiction.

The question here is, How does the police department know that they place bets, I feel like they send a big amount of money from the casino to their bank accounts and that was what triggered the alarms. Or maybe they post it in their social networks. I don't know, but he should have a lower profile to avoid this.

Your story doesn't make sense? Where did they even do this gambling if it was banned throughout your country? Did they come from another region or country? What happened to the place that allowed them to place the bets or how did the police trace them? You are not responsible for their actions when it comes to online gambling. They would have stumbled across it one way or another, besides that - most countries that are strict on gambling are also pretty strict on cryptocurrency because of the reason you describe. If someone is a gambler to that level, they need to  hit rock bottom and accept it before they will be able to rid themselves of the habit. It's possible to go "cold turkey" on it, but requires real willpower and the ability to let go of previous losses.

Telling him to quit is soft and won't move him from his addiction. Continuous reminders about telling him that he has to look around and that the effects of his addiction on his family are certainly worrying. It's no longer a healthy thing and that's why he needed to think of his activities since it's becoming harmful not just to him but also to his family. This shouldn't be a problem for him if he's moderating it but right now, he needs to moderate it. He can't be in whole stop, this just can't happen from someone who's addicted to gambling, it needs some process and moderation because a gradual process needs to happen.

I want to ask for advice and input from members here, what should I do to deal with this friend of mine and how should I react to it because he became a crazy gambler because of my invitation.

Even though it looked like it wouldn't be easy, he still had to try because it was his responsibility as a good friend. After all, he also didn't want to see his friend get too deep into gambling, so he had to try to help him get out of his gambling addiction problem. Maybe limiting the use of cellphones or PCs or those who have access to gambling is the thing that needs to be done and inviting him to do physical activity that can prevent him from thinking about gambling. It seems that his gambling addiction has entered his subconscious brain so he has become very fond of gambling.

I will share a little of my experience when I invite some friends who like to bet at local bookies.

A few months ago about 4 of my friends came to my local town house to bet on a football game and after a while they were arrested by law enforcement in my country because I live in a country where gambling is strictly prohibited and there are laws in it. They were all jailed for several days and had to pay fines to be released from prosecution.

Here I feel sorry for them if they have to deal with the law again so I teach and give them an understanding of crypto casino, after understanding I suggest using crypto casino which I believe they can use as well so they can bet on every sporting event freely and without having to afraid to face the law again.

And what concerns me is that one of them actually becomes a gambling addict in a crypto casino. It was a pity that he had lost his senses and forgot about his responsibilities as the head of the family to the point where he was more concerned with money at stake.
From that incident I felt very guilty for inviting him to bet at a crypto casino until he became an addict.

I don't fully understand your story, your 4 friends placed bets at a local bookmaker but gambling is prohibited in your country? Does this mean it was an illegal gambling casino or bookmaker? If that's the case I think police is mostly interested in the criminals operating the illegal casino, so if your friends provide information for the police maybe they can get rid of the fine. In general I would be careful with friends that engage in illegal activities. Nothing wrong with gambling, but if its banned in your country you should think about making a trip to another country to gamble. Don't feel responsible for the actions of your friends.

You are really blaming yourself for this?
I mean, yes, you suggested an alternative for them to continue their hobby but that doesn't mean you pushed them to being gambling addicts now.
First of all, I do believe they are already gambling addicts from the beginning. Why would they even visit your place just to put a bet? Have you thought about that? That must mean they are already in trouble in their previous place and they want to continue what they are doing in another place.
They are already into gambling before you even suggested online casinos to them.
But, you could always tell them to keep it at a responsible amount of betting. You cannot stop them, just provide some details on how they can control it.
Stake.com has a responsible gambling feature. Try that.

This should be a lesson. Not because you do want to help, you'd already provide the help; think of the consequences. It is never advisable to support an individual in gambling because of the risks involved. But no matter what, and if the cited situation is true, be a friend to him. Help him morally to regain atleast his mental state. Also, try to accompany him with other activity not involving risk and money such as sports and the likes to somehow calibrate his drive to gamble. Also, do not blame yourself for everything because that's his decision in the first place. It is solely dependent with the gambler on how would he end up after playing; broke, victorious, or just fine.  Lastly, seek for professional help becaause addiction is not something to be cured in an instant and with ease.

I will say also that it is not his fault. Like in my country or my area if I should be specific, anyone can be exposed to gambling at anytime and it is common among friends. Because a friend knows gambling through me and he is addicted, I will kind of feel guilty because I care, unless I do not care is when I will not feel like anything is happening.

If it is me, I will not give up to continuing advising him and make him realize how gambling can not be helpful but distractive if there is addiction.
