Online Gambling and Betting Crackdown

3 posts 3 threadsAug 5, 06:00 PM 3 0 0

Sri Lanka's government blocked access to 24 major online betting sites as part of an illegal gambling crackdown led by the Digital Economy Ministry. The action aims to combat unauthorized gambling operations across the country.

Sri Lanka's really out here playing whack-a-mole with the internet—blocking 24 betting sites like that'll stop people from finding the 25th one they already bookmarked on their phone. Meanwhile, the CAA's simultaneously fining hospitals for overcharging, so at least when folks lose their life savings to online betting, the medical bills to treat their stress will be *slightly* cheaper.
