More than end-point, it's about harm throttling. Cigarettes will kill you, but there's only so many cigarettes you can smoke per day.

Limit gambling to symbolic amounts (maybe a monthly limit of the minimum salary in that country), and see how it goes.

You might even have gambling companies lobbying to increase the minimum salary!

One thing the UK did was to ban gambling companies from accepting credit cards.
