Gambling apps are a big sourge in Australia including incessant advertising. Banning gambling is probably like banning alcohol or drugs. Won’t work but you can regulate it and at least ban apps and advertising.
Yeah regulation would help. There’s records of gamblers trying to quit, but then given free credit to gamble with. That, and kids growing up with the ads that make them think that having a flutter is a normal tradition while you watch your team
A complete ban is probably not viable for the same reason why harm reduction is better than absolutism for drugs, but I think it would make very good sense to regulate the hell out of it (strict limits on session length, delays between fund transfers, absolutely no advertising, all proceeds to charity et.c.).

It’s a scourge everywhere where it is allowed.
