   Let me guess - because some people are unable to consume this form of entertainment responsibly, we have to make it illegal for everyone?

   Makes sense. While we’re at it let’s kick the war on drugs back into high gear, reinstate prohibition, and make other higher risk behavior illegal.

         Why would we do that? I’m perfectly capable of using a gambling app responsibly.

            Because it's harm reduction. Sometimes you can reduce a vice impact by putting in friction. Too much can end with poor results for sure.
