Topic: Will you change your mind on gambling ? - page 3. (Read 1150 times)

Agreed but some people may already addicted with gambling. They will be feeling so difficult to not play gambling. I guess they can start to decrease their intensity to play gambling but this might be so hard for them.
You can replace your gambling activites with another activity easily but it seems like there are others who feel so difficult to do that.
I will have the same thought with you and dealing with regulators have become the worst thing that can be done by gamblers. They must try to avoid to deal with regulators

Yes, we can still play without violating any rules that can harm our reputation because I believe that it will never be banned, there will be some online gambling that we can still play. Just don't risk too much to a game.

So many things that are illegal in the past but was legalized after several years, Whiskey is just one. Same with legal things that were ilegalized like cocaine.
Gambling is likely not one that I would see being banned in my country.  I don't see people will also  stop gambling even if its banned. Even the Chinese in the mainland sure will still be gambling but only taboo especially in the rural areas. 

Once people sees there is a way to get around with the law, they will start gambling. The government will have a lot to do with online gambling if they are to really ban it.

You seems to be a very good citizen Leaving gambling might be easy for those who are not really enjoying the fun part of gambling or for those who use it as a professional job (poker players and sports bettors), but it can be really hard to leave gambling for those who have been enjoying it for years. As I said before in many other thread, gambling is illegal in my country (it was legal years ago) but there are still many people gamble now. Frankly speaking I have no idea why some countries consider gambling as illegal or as a crime, if the reason is solely related to religion (sin), I cant really accept this reason since religion is a privacy and sin is a about ourselves in connection with the God.

many advantages that online gambling sites have, whenever we can come and go without anyone knowing it, even simply with a cigarette and a cup of coffee we can enjoy the game only with the grip of our smart phone and of course it doesn't spend a lot of capital as a supporting factor  other.  Therefore, it doesn't matter if the government prohibits and enforces laws for anyone who visits gambling houses while there are still online sites that we can of course still access.

If the government of a country makes something illegal it is the duty of the citizen of that country not to do or avoid it. Because the government always thinks good thoughts for the people of its country. Moreover if one still wants to continue gambling he can because now one can access any restricted site using VPN. But it is risky. Basically, addicted gamblers will try their best to continue gambling under any circumstances.

 never break any Laws or Rules, meaning if time comes that our country does not support gambling anymore? then i will surely follow and will convert my activities in trading or at least online gaming?
with all the chances of enjoyment why need to break some rules just to be contented?

I believe that there is no need for complete stopping , instead what I think is just to gamble for fun , remember that there are reasons why we gamble and that is some wanted to Win and Earn while others wanted to have fun and at least try their luck to win.
if you wanted to become rich in gambling then that should change because of the banning because if ever you won big and being caught?surely you will regret everything.
but if it is just for fun then  I believe we should continue at least once a week or little lower.

In my case, I would give it up, as I only gamble from time to time. It wouldn't cost me much to quit, unlike people we see commenting on this board.

This would not put an end to gambling because in places where it is banned it is not eradicated, it is simply controlled by mafias instead of being supervised by governments.


Here is an example of what I was saying, which can be applied to other sectors such as drugs or prostitution.

If you are right, some countries that are prohibited have a fairly frequent use of online casinos, however, very few online casinos are those that allow the use of VPN, although it really seems to me something very absurd, as I have said before, and in previous threads, in casinos or crypto - casinos, are designed so that we can play with crypto, but crypto gives economic, financial freedom, and gives the fastest deposits that we can experience over the services offered by a simple bank, then this VPN It should be accepted in all casinos and you shouldn't cause so much trouble for it, comply with KYC and accept VPN, you can't ask for more.


Well, this is like what I always say, a government can't put its hands in people's pockets, it's very unfair and there comes a time when people don't stop either, just as they're doing, people won't follow' There are government orders, except when it comes to money, fun, I'm sure that since gambling there is illegal, if government entities enter those places to play those are the things that cannot be conceived, it is not that it be an act of irreverence against the rules, but you can't abuse power either, I say that these things are abuse of power, then they can manage an entire town some time later, making them enforce mandatory KYC to have total control.

My country prohibits gambling. but gambling is quite rampant around where I live. So I conclude that gambling addicts are not affected by the law imposed by the local government. why this is so the reason is because taxes are the main thing that is the benchmark for gambling houses to run their business. So don't be surprised if we are active gamblers if the law is strictly enforced then there are still options we can do to gamble by playing secretly and of course you know how if you don't want to be caught by the authorities. so all actions must have risks and especially gambling which is an act that is not liked by some people.

I will also follow your opinion, though I sometimes enjoy betting with some of my favorite sports but if that being declared not to be legal anymore I will follow that rules, I understand that there are someone who really into this kind of vices and they will try harder just to continue gambling even the government prohibit any participation from anyone residing from their jurisdictions.

Some may use VPN, which adds another risk aside from the gambling itself. You don't know when the gambling site will declare it illegal and they will freeze the account.

The adjustment always depends on how a gambler takes the responsibilities over the risk that he might be facing after.

So you actually admitted the fact that to do illegal things is easier achieved than the good and useful deeds, gambling actually can be forbidden if outlawed and gone extreme in causing dangers and manners of abuses, this are the things we all contributes right from our end in gambling.


Ban is not a barrier for gamblers to go to an extent in doing things both in the legal and illegal ways, they never mind regretting some steps after taking the actions, but government uas it power to exercise authority in implementing policies to gambling ethics, many have face the law because of violation of the rules surrounding it.



Past are the days when casinos only exist in physical locations across every region, but thanks to development of technology that has served us well with online ones, with this no amount of government restriction could deter gamblers from enjoying the sweetness in this opportunity because we have no KYC casinos that can maintain your privacy with them.

I think other than having an adequate time, a core gambler also have a good knowledge, skills and a good amount of capital. In short they are more superior than a common gambler. Playing gambling only for the sake of being entertained is not wrong and it's also not money consuming so feel free to include this in your monthly budget but if ever my country banned gambling then obviously I will follow the rules because I am not one of those who are desperate and will do risky things only to get the things that they wanted. I don't think online casinos are accessible because our ISPs will also banned it. Maybe some can use a VPN but it's still risky.

The saying "another person's food is another person's poison" just came to mind because of what you said. No matter how many restrictions and bans are placed on anything, people will always find a way to do it in a way that makes them happy. I don't see any reason why the government would want to outlaw gambling while allowing people to consume alcohol freely, that doesnt make too much sense to some extent but the limitation is not bad at all, hence I think that is why we have the age as a yardstick in gambling in most countries.



We have a lot of online gambling, and thanks to cryptocurrencies that allow transactions without credit cards and banks, you can play and remain anonymous unless the casino is aware of the restriction put in place in your country and may want to flag your IP address, but even then, we have Tor and VPN that you can use to play casinos that don't require KYC. You can see that the government can be bypassed though it may be tagged as an illegal activity.

We should not forget that the authorities have more serious problems to solve which they spend their time and money. The gambler does not bring significant problems to the state, so it is impractical to spend effort on tracking it. Of course there can be demonstrative processes for intimidation, but I do not think that this will make gamblers completely stop gambling.

In addition, do not forget that gambling can be played not only in land or online casinos. I'm sure that in every country there are illegal casinos where law enforcement agencies can't get in.

I'm sure the government that makes gambling an illegal activity will not hunt down gamblers. if you want to seriously face gambling that has been deeply rooted in ancient times. it has to be done from the bookies. or gambling companies. not from the player.
when players have no more space, then they will find it difficult to play. although I'm not sure if it's also effective. because when a gambling platform closes and the owner is arrested, there will always be another new platform.

rather than making regulations that make gambling illegal. I prefer the government to strictly regulate gambling and its players. such as places or online casinos that have already received permission from the government. so those who create a new casino site that is not registered then it is against the regulations. I'm sure the government knows how much money is in the casinos.

I don't think they will make gambling illegal for no reason but maybe they did that because gambling on that country is now very rampant and they saw that many people are now getting addicted and destroying their lives. Same with what the effect of drugs are doing, this is why there are countries where the use of it is also illegal because they link it to the increasing rates of crimes.

Don't say that it's difficult for them to catch gambling offenders. You don't know what a government can do. They do have the budget to make things possible, so if I were you I better obey them than suffering most of your time inside the jail. There are still ways to have fun which doesn't have any risk.

It really depends upon the government, how much they are serious about catching the people who are gambling illegally, and usually the amount which you use to gamble should not matter.

Either the government does not know that you are a gambler or they don't have plans to actively caught people gambling, otherwise, they would have come to you irrespective that you gamble with small amounts.

I don't want to be KJ in this thread but, does government has the idea to ban gambling? I think it is impossible to banned gambling since taxes coming from gambling are known to be bigger than other sectors, they also gets benefit to it. I will answer, let's say we are on that situation now, still I will gamble there's a lot of online casino everywhere, just check this thread you will see it.
