My country completely prohibits gambling and even tens of thousands of online gambling sites have been blocked but still appear again and again... The problem is that the level of gambling addiction has begun to get worse where they dare to take high risks, such as robbery, cheating company funds, etc. in order to play online gambling, this should be the awareness of all people who do not have a sense of responsibility in gambling.

I was exploring the forum and a member's post caught my eye in that post he mentioned that the people of a country are getting addicted to gambling and it is becoming a big issue for them, especially those people who cannot afford funds those are also being addicted to the gambling.
Now I want such a discussion in this thread that if the gambling addiction rate is high in a country, what should the government do? And what not to do? If the government bans gambling, it should be supported, which is a terrible decision for investors in gambling sites of that country, and those who gamble for genuine entertainment, will not it interfere with their personal freedom? So let me have your opinions what should be better way to recover from these situations for a country?

Gambling has become a global issue and a major concern but the thing is, gambling has been existing for years why is it influencing a lot of people now? It's a very simple answer, technology has made it very accessible, a lot of people engage in online gambling due to how easy it is to access. In my country majority of the youths are unemployed but they struggle with gambling addiction, imagine how disastrous this can be. I can't really say if the government provides Job opportunities this would reduce gambling addiction, i don't think anything can be done about it.

The government should invest more attention on parental care, emotional intelligence, therapy, and societal beliefs. These four responsibilities will help growing people to desire for what's good, and not of that which is detrimental to their happiness. Additionally, decreasing the time parents spend working for money will help improve emotional intelligence on kids.

Recently, a lot of toddlers are so bored that they look for entertainment by all means, and it's not conducive for their growth. The moment people begin to care for themselves, it'll be hard to find a person that'll want to end up addicted. Because it doesn't display a sign of self compassion.

First we need to see how big the level of addiction is, whether it is still controlled, moderate, or in danger that requires quick and decisive action.
  • The first level; I think the government just needs to continue to control the financial flow in gambling and stay at that level so that there won't be a lot of people who are excessively addicted from gamblers.
  • The second level; the government must be more active in educating the public about the dangers of addiction, providing education directly from the new generation to the old generation in different forms of socialization, such as the new generation implementing views on gambling addiction in schools, limiting gambling advertisements in certain segments and conducting special meetings with casino owners so that excessive addiction does not occur.
  • The third level; stopping all gambling activities, this may be true as you said that it will disturb some sectors and people who are involved in gambling, but this decision is the final decision when efforts to reduce addiction in society cannot be achieved and even worse.

There was a post that I read on this same board where the government of that country bars anything that has to do with gambling promotion and content from being published by their content creators, and anyone found breaking such a law will also be punished, even gambling-related ads being banned. 
 
If I'm in a position to take a step that will help tackle gambling addiction, the above is the first thing that I will do, as most people are tempted to gamble based on the type of content they see online. 
 
I can also go as far as creating a gambling awareness program that can help in educating my people about the risks involved in gambling and how to tackle them.

It has been a big issue in many countries, especially the poor ones. I guess governments should proportionate quality education to their citizens, so they wouldn't become problem gamblers, because they would know the risks implied. The point is that governments don't offer quality education to the people, maybe due to the fact it's not interesting for them to have a critical and conscious population who thinks by themselves and don't rely on politicians to survive.
