At minimum online gambling should be outlawed. That whole industry seems to make the issue so much worse compared to how it was historically.
Gambling is a scam, but I wouldn't trust my government to ban it. The way governments see these things, they may as well as ban Fallout: New Vegas for having gambling-related minigames. Or chance-based videogames. Good luck reasoning with your government on how these things are different. You'll be hit back with countless arguments on how you are wrong.
Also, when gambling is legal, it's taxed and regulated. When it's illegal, it still happens but now the government has to spend money to stop it. Lose-lose situation.
