don't expect government to dedicate their resources into this kind of problem because they have other important issues to address with. it is the people themselves need to change the mindset on things. because it is their own prerogative why they are gambling in the first place. so it should be them who should take care of their own self.
because if you start looking for someone to be responsible with your behaviour, then, i guess, you are looking at the problem the wrong way.
We could see it not just in gambling but also in other aspects of life, success, career, lifestyle.
Almost everything if they would found something or someone to blame, they would do it in order to feel like it wasn't their fault.
well, they are only fooling themselves for something that is not the truth. at the end of the day, you are responsible for yourself and no one else. the early you accept such reality, the better for your understanding of your life and move on to create a better path for yourself.
