You ignore what I said and ignore reality. I gave real examples of two real gambling markets, one legal and illegal, that demonstrated how much worse the effects of the illegal market were.

Instead you claim countries have successfully banned gambling completely. OK name one so we can correct your misapprehension.

For example Sports betting has been illegal almost everywhere in the US for a long time. Illegal sports gambling has peaked near $150B a year.

Gambling is banned in Saudi Arabia.
Yet people still gamble in Saudi Arabia like crazy.

What’s next, you gonna want to ban gravity cause your feet are sore?
