Well guess what, swiss casinos don't give a **** about degens either.
On the other hand BILLIONS are going away each year to foreign online shops and stores at the borders to germany, france and italy because half the country goes there to shop, fill up gas and repair their cars because it's so much cheaper than in switzerland.
Ofc noone cares (a law which forbids stuff like that would have never been accepted), because everyone (politicians included) are doing it.
Very rational idd.
It's pleasant to see some people having link with reality, thank you.
And yes, 250millions is a hugely overestimated, faked number (including EVERY way to "wager" money on Internet : sports bet, casino games, random lotteries AND poker in a very marginal way) and no rational debate could take place since government only let its voice being heard.
They proposed the law this way : "Would you like to get 250 millions more in our social system, or not ?"
This is absolutely fallacious and misleading, but any people who doesn't care about gambling will vote "yes", it's a given.
