Betting addiction has been a great debate. Some people blame the government and the typically argued that stricter regulations have to emanate from governments through advertising limitations and responsible gaming initiatives. They have to provide resources to those suffering from the effects of addiction. Do you believe that?
 
I think we will first blame the individual who can not be able to discipline himself or herself. Without discipline, we lose the integrity and sensibility of our human nature. We should not blame government for everything! We should be accountable, disciplined and sensible. An addict allow gambling to run his life, why should you hold government responsible.

We can't directly blame the government because the question regarding betting addiction creates a series of complex issues. But I believe it should be heavily regulated and citizens should be protected by the government to avoid any addiction whatsoever.
 
This is the responsibility of all, not that of the government alone. While an individual himself will be accountable for his acts, the government has also an obligation in regulation and protection of citizens from dangerous practices.

Hey all. I've been playing mobile poker apps (PPPoker, X-Poker,PokerBros, ClubGG) for a couple of years, mostly in Asian clubs.Built a comparison directory at poker-catalog where I track rakebackrates, club traffic, and agent reliability. Happy to answerquestions about the mobile poker world — it's a niche mosttraditional poker players don't know much about.
