No we can’t.  But let’s not pretend this is all about “willpower”. The goal was to make gambling seamless and frictionless - so they could take advantage of every single time a person would be inclined to let their guard down at any point in their day to day life.

Forget hopping on a plane to Vegas or Atlantic City. You don’t even need to get in the car or go call your bookie. You can literally gamble while taking a crap in your home toilet, while nursing your baby to sleep, or laying in bed at 3 am.  [/quote]

I completely agree with you here. This was the true danger of widespread legal gambling in the US, making it basically invisible and hidden. They should have made it legal everywhere while making people travel to facilities to do it.

Couldn't hide from your wife that you were spending all day betting the retirement money on Commanders +7 at the Cowboys or these ridiculous 10-leg parlays. But we all know nothing will be done about this now.[/quote]
