Just ban it, gambling used to be illegal in a lot of places.

Please ban all online betting and only make it legal at places where you have to actually go there in person to do. Impulse gambling on smartphones and prediction markets are straight cancer to society.

Hear hear!

It's only gambling if you don't know the outcome!

It used to be illegal to run away from your plantation, too.

No reason to outlaw this, why bother? People have always made wagers, and they enjoy it.

People enjoy making wagers with friends and acquaintance. Gambling apps are highly addictive commercial products which have negative value to society. Ban them and shoot the owners and shareholders.

Food is highly addictive. Video games are highly addictive. Sex is highly addictive.

You are not "the decider" of which activity is of value to society or not, it's of value to THEM.

Instead, ban and shoot everyone who would want to ban and shoot other people for owning entertainment venues (like gambling).

They're more trouble than they are worth.

You're stuck in the aesthetic phase of development.
