Do you believe legalized gambling ultimately benefits or harms society as a whole?

Legal gambling is such a mixed bag. Where I live, it funds schools and public stuff, which is good, but I’ve also seen a cousin’s marriage fall apart because of it. It’s like fire, it's helpful if it’s under control, but it burns everything if it’s not.
 
For me, legalized gambling gets both sides. It brings jobs and revenue, but it also fuels addiction if people do not know how to control it. I have seen young boys using their school fees to bet, thinking that the jackpot will change their life overnight.
 
No doubt that legalized gambling can bring money and jobs but it can also cause some trouble here and there like addiction and family breakdowns. I think what is more important is maintaining a balance and the government should put strong regulation to control the bad side while allowing opportunities in it.
 
I used to think all gambling was risky, but after trying online sabong ph a few times with friends, I realized it really depends on how you handle it. Some folks get carried away, sure, but others treat it like any other hobby. I just set limits and never bet more than I can afford to lose—keeps it fun and stress-free for me.

Legalized gambling ultimately damages society socially and morally. From the government's end, it is beneficial. Casino houses generate employment in the economy and generate huge taxes to the government. But people are stuck with gambling addiction. Young kids are seeing gambling houses in their neighborhoods and are just waiting to turn adults so they can join in.
 
Legal gambling can do a lot of good, like funding public services, but it can also cause serious problems for families and individuals. It really comes down to how it’s managed and whether people can keep it under control. Too much of it without boundaries can definitely be destructive.

You nailed it. It actually has two sides. I’ve seen places where the revenue really pushes community projects forward, but at the same time, I’ve seen families destroyed through gambling. At the end, everything is about control and regulation.
 
When is gambling never legal? I can't remember the last time anyone who's 18 years and above was arrested for gambling in registered gambling establishments.
