Gambling will not be banned, even if all the governments of the world insist on doing so, gamblers will find all kinds of ways to keep gambling. If we look at the history of the players out there, there are those who are happy because of gambling, but there are also those who are suffering because of gambling.

But if gambling is banned, the opportunity gambling brought to many gambling companies will become the thing of the past, I am just saying that, because it is even not possible for the government to ban one of their source of their income.

Do you think that now people are unaware of the real risks of winning/losing? It seems to me that everyone understands everything (of course, there are exceptions, but they can be ignored, like those who believe in Santa Claus), but this is their conscious choice to take risks.

Everyone that gambles knows that they can win or lose, but some people, especially those that become addicted thought they have special skills that can help them win than lose, but they will later found themselves losing more than winning.

gambling simply has to be regulated. like any other industry.
it is impossible to ban and would do nothing but fuel the black-market and would become at extreme risk of being scammed and attracting only "shady" characters.

world politicians / governments should ensure correct instructions for those who want to stop gambling and some information on the real risks of winning / losing.

After all, there is no logical proof that a person should not buy a lottery ticket (if he wants to win a million) even if he is fully aware that this is a loss-making action.

I think regulating gambling is a good thing, but the government that feels the money from gambling taxes should provide rehabilitation centers for those who suffer from gambling (addicts).

I read an interesting debate about this topic during the time when I experienced heavy loss in online gambling. I’m trying to seek some reason online to justify my loss and give me acceptance for my loss that time. It didn’t help me but make me confused. Grin

Anyway I will share the points of both side because it is the real life scenario.

It's already banned in some countries, they have their own reason based on their religion and political belief, but for individuals, whether he is on a top level of playing or not, they will not be in favor of it, those who will in favor are not players or gamblers and just see the bad side of it, but for players or gamblers, they see the good side and the bad side and they accept it as it is.

Some players may favor banning it but will revert their decision when they missed playing and see the good side of it and the fun that they used to enjoy.

IMHO there's no reason to ban gambling even how risky it is and few religion prohibited it, because not all people on that's country are Muslim and not all people play on gambling actually become an addicts. If they can control his greediness and start become a professional gambler, nothing wrong about gambling.

gambling need not be banned for any reason.

If you state gambling should be banned, why do you wear casino signature lol, you're contradicting yourself. The weekly payment you got is from gambling where people losing to play on Stake.

gambling not need be banned for any reason. although some countries do not allow gambling to be done and there are some religions that do not allow gambling, but it is the right of every individual.
like in my country already have laws prohibiting gambling and in my religion it also does not allow gambling to be done. but there are still so many people gambling in the country because they think the state and religion have no right to forbid them to entertain themselves.
gambling for me is a person's freedom to do whatever he wants without harming others

If you ask me that question the answer will be "You can't dismiss the whole thing because of a few people's mistakes". Those who become addicted to gambling and lose everything, it is their personal problem that they have taken gambling as such where they should have taken it for entertainment purpose. Yes, if some rules and regulations were followed, the question of banning gambling would not have come up. I think gambling is not for those who have chances of getting addicted to it.

Some places or government does really have that kind of perception when it comes to gambling where they do really protect their citizens and if they do see relevant or significant numbers who had been affected then

this might be the time that they would really be making out some action for them to take like banning or having prohibitions but if they do mind off about taxation and revenue then they would just simply ignore those
but actually this does really depend on several factors because not all would really be having on the same impression for them to make out decisions.

Banning isnt the solution and as of todays era or tech and accessibility then it wont really be that hard for someone to find out some hole for them to dig in.

Gambling Industry had been a great fund supporter in any government work in short a great source of income for the government. They also give charity funds. I do not think that banning gambling activities is a wise decision. Instead, it should be fully and carefully regulated. Aside from that banning it won't solve the gambling problem because people tend to get a little more curious when it is forbidden thus, banning gambling won't prevent them from gambling activities. Instead, the government should create programs and information campaigns on responsible gambling and push the casino to be more attentive of their clients.

No, gambling should not get banned.
I am the kind of person that believes in individual freedom and rights, every adult should have the right to decide that to do with their hard earned money within the boundaries of law.

After all, a dystopian future is always depicted on media as one which a central authority or government decides for its citizen what they should and should not allowed to do for the sake of their own well being, isnt it?

The important thing is not harming oneself or others with one's actions. Of course, gambling can lead to problems (so can smoking and alcohol) thus it is necessary to partake in these activities in a responsible manner and seek for help if becomes a compulsive necessity. That is my opinion.

The question of harming other people is of course unambiguous - this should not be. As for harm to oneself, a person should have the right to do so. It may sound inhumane, but as you correctly noted, a state that begins to care too much about the "correct" behavior of citizens turns life into a dystopia. Therefore, I believe that a person himself should choose to smoke or not, to gamble or not, etc.

I don't agree with banning it. Gambling makes our lives more exciting so it will be unfair if it will be banned just because others can notice its negative effects. Gambling will still remain as gambling even without gamblers so it simply means that only gamblers are having trouble with its bad effects which only happens because of a lack of discipline and self-control. If everyone will only enjoy dealing with gambling the right way, I don't think the idea of banning it will exist.

Although there grounds that Gambling can be ban which some country already did. It still depends on people perspective on how to handle things like gambling. Surely gambling destroyed many life but those person are the one who got addicted and not all gamblers share same story. The government get huge amount of tax on this business industry so it just balance the bad effect given by gambling to some players.

No one can prohibit or stop gambling even if they have to hide, because humans have gambled since we were born as humans. And no law will stop it.
perhaps more importantly, what education system should be put in place that enables individuals to recognize addictive tendencies and understand the risks if they allow these tendencies to go unaddressed. And explore possible addiction-causing events in the hope that they may resonate with anyone inclined toward addictive behavior.

I will definitely say no. Everyone has the right to enjoy gambling. Gambling has risks but it's not harming anyone. It only becomes unsafe when a gambler is abusing and mishandling it to the point that it's already ruining his life. As long as we know how to gamble responsively and we know our limits, we could have gambling as part of our lives. Some of us see comfort in it and it becomes our stress reliever so banning it will be unfair to smart gamblers.

If you ask me that question my answer will be 'no' because I think there was no bad thing when gambling should take as entertainment purpose and by entertaining people can also earn something.
And I also think that nothing is good when it's cross the limit. When a gambler being addicted in gambling it's can distroy his\her life.
Everything has both good and bad sides now it depends on us which one we choose. So banning gambling is not the solution

William Shakespeare said, "There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." In this debate, there are no winners nor losers because there are those who have both made big bucks from gambling without ever being addicted to it. And there are those on the opposite end of the spectrum that allowed gambling to affect their life for worse. In my opinion, Gambling should not be banned. I will say that all things should be done in moderation.

My honest opinion, no. It should not be banned. You have to accept that there are rainy and sunny days in it. It's not every one that can take a loss and still decide to move on.
There are people who have amassed a lot of wealth via gambling and used it to do something productive and people who win and squander it. Does that mean, we get to ban gambling? Not really.

It's like asking if smoking should be banned? or if any other harmful habits must be banned effectively as well by the government? People would jump up and talk about ' freedom ' at it's finest at the same time one would also understand the fact that it's impossible to ban something, banning Bitcoins won't work, banning gambling won't work as well, can you stop a person from going to other state or country where gambling might be legal ?

It cannot be banned but the government can provide help for gambling addiction and also set up rules and regulations to ensure a safe environment..

Which type of rules and regulation to ensure a safe enviroment can take a government? In my opinion only person can decide whatever is good or not for them, government can be present only for tax question. And that isn't

a good thing Grin

. In my opinion, a government should allow a casino, like they allow alcohol or cigarette and other thing that can damage you, instead we've government that doesn't allow it yet Embarrassed
