Everything that is inhuman is banned but people find the way to have entreatment.
Guess what - in our country gambling is banned - but people have find bitcoin and last year there was a huge spike in the funds from the crypto owners.
So bans are there but people know how to break laws as well.

Once you’re exposed to gambling and you’re a greedy player, you will always find a way gamble and in online that is more possible to do so. Online cockfighting becomes a big platform during the pandemic and now the government is trying to regulate it or ban it since they can’t control the gamblers anymore and many ruins their lives because of this, government should react fast on this one.

On the time the pandemic started and run for a couple of years then it cant really be avoided for people not to find out something which they could really enjoy or entertain theirselves and on the time that online betting

was available specially for cockfighting then they do really find out a place on where they do place bets but the con's or problems generate is about addiction on which it did really becomes big and comes into a point on which they cant able to control it.

Yes, taxes are appealing but there are government which are really focuses or in concern of their citizens.

Cockfighting in the philippines might bad for real, but this online sabong(cockfighting) in the PH gave helped to many people who loss their job during pandemic season, but still of course it remains bad habit not only for the adult but of course gor the kids as well.

Yeah! that's what I'm saying because of no regulations, kids nowadays easily join and can access Gcash with the minimum regulations and that means they can cash in easily to bet and the problem here is the kids don't have any jobs at all except for the few of them, so where do you think they get their capital? this is a big question because before they even get addicted to playing online cockfighting, they already have this case where they might steal it from their parents or get it from illegal sources which we cannot even imagine.

But the adoption of cryptocurrencies will make transactions with money even easier for children, right? But we do not oppose adoption because of this, but on the contrary, we are all waiting for it. All phenomena have both pluses and minuses, but we cannot constantly forbid something because the phenomenon is not ideal and has minuses. We need to look for other solutions to this problem.

this is really a concern for me because the average fighting cock in cockfighting (this is what I see in cockfighting in my city) is equipped with small knives in their feet. Cockfighting is proof that humans still like to see animals tortured for profit and that makes those who like cockfighting look no better than animals.

I have seen this short documentary in youtube about Sebong/cockfighting
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7GazqNRIr4
the author has a dilemma. we are so sure to treat animals so well in Western countries? after all we raise them in dismal conditions and then we kill them badly (just having seen earthlings).

meanwhile "fighters" are treated throughout their life with care and attention ... "they also take vitamins"!

actually the doubt arises ...but seeing two animals dueling until their death is still deplorable and really sad Sad

I believe this is like horse racing where you can't discard the game from the society as it is already part of the culture.
And because it has been rooted for decades and decades, people can't just remove it even if we know there are some mistreatment towards the animals involved.
You can just close your eyes and not participate in this kind of sports because going against with the culture is hard.
They can ban online cockfighting, but I have the feeling that it is only temporary because of the disappearing issues of its agents.
It will go back again as the people behind this sports are influential to these political individuals. Let us see if they can keep this protocol.

Depends on what government would really be doing,whether they would really be making some changes later on or making this as temporary which is something to be anticipated.
Its true that these gambling activities had been rooted for ages or been part of the culture which its really hard to believed on that it would really be ban or prohibited
since people had already get used to it or been aware for how many decades.Stopping it completely is something not really that easy to believed.
Online betting might be banned but later on it would be removed later on when things or noises been settled.

Cockfighting is indeed the old way or our ancestors to enjoy the game and nothing more than a hobby. Maybe it has spread in several countries which is still in use today is only a tradition. Thailand is indeed different and always has 1 superior step in planning and doing it. This is a new thing for me, maybe there are no sharp knives and crowds in one arena but cockfighting has always been forbidden by my religion. Because of the nature of animals that groan and don't have common sense, they are infiltrated by people who can cause violence. the blood spilled and the loss of animal life. It does not mean that the income obtained from the contribution of the game to the country, I appreciate the attitude and decision of the president who protects the people wisely.

At their young age, those kids can easily do things that we can't imagine. Cockfighting is another type of gambling that can easily attract and engaged people, young ones who can't control can easily get addicted. Many problem has been raised that's why the president decided to close it and not to allow E-Sabong to operate.

Cockfighting in this case is part of the main problem - now with a smartphone in your hand you can access anything and a dilemma arises: if you ban everything (for good intentions) then this will be an obvious violation of freedoms, and if not, then even those who do not must access (minors) certain information/services will receive it. Personally, I choose freedom, parents should take care of children, not the government.

We have weekly backyard cockfighting here on our farm, of course, it's illegal but it's our folk's tradition, and besides its on limited hours you cannot lose a lot of money here because you can do it at a specific time because they are afraid of getting raid and no young people are allowed to bet, but online sabong or cockfighting is very different even children can bet and hide it to the parents, it escalates to something worse and as the president says the country is losing their moral values.

That's one way for people who still want to keep playing cockfighting. They can still use the methods they are used to and if online sabong has been banned and can no longer be accessed, there is a possibility that they will return to the old ways. Of course, this should be a concern for the local government to keep an eye on the places they usually use and also look for other places that they might use. Yes, kids can gamble too because they can see adults gambling on the premises and they will want to give it a try.

There are opposing side but the vast majorities are happy to know that the action has been implemented, lots of anomalies from
police officials and government officials that involve to this business.

Plus the fact that known personalities are also engaged and enjoying this gambling, maybe they will continue their game
using the legal cook-fighting arena after this closure. Roll Eyes

- Is it really valid that we should blame the online cockfighting here that's why most people wrecked their lives?

It's all about free will and choice. Those people that didn't end up good have chosen to gamble and they shouldn't blame anyone for it. They are all accountable for their actions.
If there's someone to blame, it is themselves because they are the ones who have the authority to do what they can with their money and they should be responsible for their decisions.

Gamblers should have known from the start that the result of their actions will always be the reflection of their own decision making. If they can't be responsible enough to gamble in moderation, then they should have not entered gambling in the first place. However, online cockfighting should never be banned, because its one way that creates higher revenues for the government and in return, people also benefit from the government's projects. Instead, the government should put more restrictions on it so that people's addiction will be lessen, and will somehow reduced those negative cases related on it.

It has been banned so whether we like it or not, it's already been imposed and effective immediately. It's known that gambling has a lot of portion to the taxation of a country.
But if it's been seen with a huge negative impact for the lives of those people that can no longer control themselves and there are kidnappings that has happened, there's a need to take action like the purpose of this thread.

hum - well if gambling has brought entertainment to the world than there are many horror stories attached to them as well.
It is trouble when one loose control and emotion during the game - be it online gambling or the in house game. One has to keep a tight control over the never in any case.

According to statistics, the government is receiving around PHP 60,000,000 (around $1,149,700 USD) per month in a form of taxation and revenue.

Are you sure about this figure? The amount I always encounter in the news is ₱640,000,000 (₱640 million). That's why it was very hard for the current administration to put a stop to it because the revenue is that huge. If it was only ₱60,000,000 (₱60 million) a month, it would have been a lot easier for the president himself to just order its closure.

Although I myself was also an online cockfighting player, I am fully in support of the ban. Not all things are to be measured in monetary terms.

I think regardless of the figures, it all ends up to the report that many lives are destroyed because of this online cockfighting. That was the very important thing that the government considered as to why they halted the operation of the online cockfight. It's no secret that in news, those missing people that got "hostage" related to that gambling are still nowhere to be found now. It's even unknown if those people are still alive today.

Yeah, I also played that game and loses a big amount already but I'm still me with no changes in behavior or fall into the trap of doing gambling. Unfortunately, not all people can handle their losses that's why they ended up in the worst situation.

cockfighting gambling never gives a greater positive effect than its negative effect, even though in this pandemic cockfighting has helped some players' economy a lot (maybe that's what happened but who knows) but there are also many players who have lost their jobs, are in debt, have fights with their families and are addicted to gambling

Cockfighting is indeed very widespread in many countries, it is very difficult to solve it because many are also backed by local authorities (police or army)

That’s why the move of president Duterte is really big, and maybe it will fully implemented so people can free from this addiction and start recovering again. I’m totally against with this online cockfighting since I know also someone who are addicted to this, it’s really not good for them I hope that this will last and will not be regulated since online gambling attracts more gambler, this is quiet risky if its continues, hope as well that the next president will do the same thing, to ban online cockfighting.

somehow online cockfighting is now known to be a good business for them. the PH government may not be able to stop this if they go underground and set up an arena for online fights again under different URLs or .onion it might be another learning curve but the determination of the enthusiast is not going to be easy to break off.

there are still lots of people buying and selling roosters on facebook like they have some backup plan to continue thier addiction.

Whenever something is forbidden, a black market appears. With the advent of the Internet, this process has become even easier. Therefore, the Philippine government, if it goes all the way in its fight against online cockfights, will eventually be forced to restrict citizens' access to the Internet (I don't know the local specifics, maybe there are already similar restrictions there). I wonder at what stage people will feel a threat to their freedom? For example, in my country (Russia), restrictions were also introduced "out of good intentions" and "for my own safety", but now I'm sitting on this forum with the help of VPN, and everyone knows what is happening in my country.
