Well, it's not legal everywhere. Gambling addiction is serious and has ruined lives. I don't know anyone personally but they do a lot on tv about it, in the news, etc. He may need an intervention to help him out of it. Sooner the better or he could start stealing and ruin others. It can cause the same problems in families like drug addicts - the theft and all. I hope you can get him help.

Gambling is legal because it's called freedom. Sure, there are people who cannot handle freedom, but that should not be a cause for do-gooder nannies to take it away from everybody else 'for our own good'. We're not children, and we need to take care of our own problems.
Your friend has some issues he needs to deal with.
