Topic: Should humans be free agents in the gambling world? - page 3. (Read 507 times)
I don't think human should be a free agent, one gambling is addicted you can gamble everything you have and might commit a crime to sustain you're being compulsive gambling, second government is making money on these gambling sites, but at the same time they do not want their people to become addicted to gambling.
I only think that gambling has to be open and free for all and we need to know the risk of playing gambling. So far, if we gamble with fiat, there will be regulations for gamblers and the gambling house, and they need to obey the rule if they don't want to get trouble.
Not all gamblers can know the safety of their families while they gambler because in real life, gamblers go to the gambling places and spend the money while their families are at home. But for gamblers who gamble in the online gambling website, they should know how to make sure their families safety especially if it's related to their finances.

Right now, the brick-and-mortar gambling world is heavily regulated. Monetary inflows and outflows are monitored, people are not let in without rigorous identity checks, expensive licenses need to be obtained from the government in order for a casino to set up shop, and so on. Clearly, the government is trying to control the world of gambling. It's their belief that we, as humans, are not able to decide for ourselves, and that our choices may have negative impacts that we did not forsee.
That's is your perspective and I respect that but in my own opinion the Government only wants safety to its citizens and for the betterment of their country so they've set rules and regulation in different parts and gambling is not an exemption as they believe that money laundering would be abundant there. For as long the good overcomes the bad aspect of controlling our freedom then I'm fine with it because everything that's too much is bad. 
Gambling is open to all especially those who really want to gamble whether you're an adult or a minor. Let's discuss about the minors that are caught gambling in any ways will face a consequences like receiving a criminal charge and if I remember correctly it will be added to his/her criminal record or the minor's parents can be charge with an offense too if they allow their children to gambling when they are still minors or still under tha age of 21 which is the required age to gamble. I don't find any situation where there's a minor caught gambling in crypto related gambling sites.

You can enter any casino as you wish but you cant enter their VIP section (obviously they will need to check your identity). The government is not controlling the casino, they are regulating it.
I'm curious as to what you guys think. Do you believe gambling should be open and free to all, and that we should be able to choose where and how to risk our money? Or, do you believe there should be regulations imposed on gamblers and gambling institutions for their own safety, and for the safety of their families?
Gambling is free to all but certainly, there should be regulations so that minors can't gamble or try to gamble. Gambling addict should be carefully watched and monitored by casino official.
Obviously, when you think of freedom, it usually comes with a positive connotation in the mind. Freedom is the lack of restrictions, and being able to do what you are economically incentivized to do.

On one hand, this comes off as rather patronizing. It's our money and our life, and we should be able to do with it what we please. The manifestation of this idea is the realm of anonymous cryptocurrency gambling, where anybody can make an account, deposit bitcoins, and start gambling. There are usually no identity checks, no location checks, no age checks, or anything of that nature whatsoever. This is the worldview that devans, the owner of bustabit holds - he believes that we should give humans credit where credit is due. We are the smartest, most evolved organism on the planet, and we should be allowed to do what we want with our own money. We don't need a father figure in the form of the government to tell us what we can and can't do with our own funds. The financial freedom that bitcoin itself signifies is also signified by the existence of such anonymous, unregulated gambling institutions. Nobody is forcing anyone to gamble - it's all a matter of responsible choice.
However, on the other hand, gambling is not an activity that is as impactless as riding a bike or watching a movie. Gambling can have serious and profound effects on people. Their brains, their lives, their families. Gambling is addictive, and especially for children, it can cause a permanent change in one's brain chemistry. The way we process dopamine is changed dramatically once gambling comes into play: the baseline dopamine level rises higher and higher, until gamblers no longer find pleasure in normal things, and can only be happy whilst in the casino high-rolling. It's completely true that gambling is very dangerous in that manner, and the effects of gambling addiction strike not only the gambler, but his loved ones as well. There is merit in the argument that gambling should not be open and free - hell, maybe having heavily regulated casinos is actually a better option.
