Protecting Vulnerable Populations in Gambling (Continued)

[Karma]

certain populations, such as minors, individuals with gambling addiction, and those with mental health issues, are more vulnerable to the harms of gambling. Responsible gambling practices must prioritize the protection of these groups. Strict age verification measures should be implemented to prevent underage gambling. Operators should provide resources and support for individuals with gambling addiction, including self-exclusion programs and helplines. Collaborating with mental health professionals can ensure that individuals with mental health issues receive appropriate care and guidance regarding gambling.

I completely agree with you. It is crucial to protect vulnerable populations from the harms of gambling. Minors, in particular, require special attention and protection. Operators must follow strict age verification measures to prevent underage gambling, such as requiring proof of identity and age, and monitoring of suspicious behavior. Additionally, it is important to provide resources and support for individuals with gambling addiction and mental health issues. This can include self-exclusion programs, hotlines, counseling services, and education about the risks of gambling. Collaborating with mental health professionals can also help ensure that individuals with mental health issues are properly cared for and receive relevant guidance. It is essential that responsible gambling practices prioritize the safety and well-being of these populations to minimize the potential harms of gambling.

Government has been trying effortlessly to enforce the bills but little could be achieved by involving betting companies because most of the betting are done on mobile devices. With this development, how is it possible to monitor the children then?.

Government always slow to take action on betting for many reasons. Apart from the part that government is the direct benefactor of the gambling industries through tax payment, they are guilty of not providing jobs.
