It's how you make it illegal. Government has no business telling people they cant have poker night at their house with friends.
But, they absolutely can and should ban all corporations from engaging in gambling. It's not about punishing people who engage in a little gambling for entertainment.
It's about preventing corporations from unleashing the full force of capitalism and state sponsored enterprise to ruin millions of gambling addicts lives.
