Because taking money away from gambling simply makes the game not worth playing.
Will you still participate if money is not involved? Many people will easily quit if all casinos are to be turned into no-money games, isn't it?
you can see in several threads I often say I gamble for fun and to try my luck with an amount I can afford to lose because not most of what I use to bet is money from my income but more often from the results of campaigns or sometimes there are also football matches good ball I will use a budget from my own income but stick with 5%.
surely there will be no more gamblers if gambling turns into something that does not provide anything interesting or we only pay to gamble but gambling will never provide a return.
It's the same as when you intend to buy food at a restaurant but when you pay for the food but the food is not given to you and you can only look at the food without being able to eat it.
just like gambling and surely all gamblers will leave and not bet again.
I also admit that this is all about money, but the word having fun is a manifestation that we are only betting to try our luck, but if we lose, we never feel regret because it is only a small amount.
