It is time to admit that the Chinese were right when they built their great firewall. You either protect yourself from America or your civilization is lost to the void.
Does China have online gambling banned? I don't know

"Parenting" is a nebulous concept and at least to me, it also includes pushing for better laws for children. Nobody would think it's reasonable to allow stores to sell cigarettes to children and tell parents "if you don't like it, just don't let your kids smoke".
Nicotine is probably the worst example possible to argue that laws prevent children from using and becoming addicted to something.

There's also heroine and fentanyl, both are regulated by the law.

There is no house on polymarket, it's pvp.
Not true, polymarket and kalshi have a lot of system bets, basically bets where the other side is the market, and further they take a cut from the money gambled. There are other things as well, like they control which side wins, so they can leverage trade or even swing trade internally with a few bot accounts, not saying that they do but I don't see a ToC that says they can't.
They don't control which side wins (UMA voters do). You should read up about prediction markets and in general sport gambling. Sport gambling platforms with a "house" usually derive their odds from pvp markets. Polymarket is similar to a classic order book market.

You see sins. Politicians see sin taxes, political will to spin up regulatory beurocracies, etc, etc.
We used to debate things like the harms to society of gambling, now it’s a silent decree that it’s not only legal but the basis for our economy. The same group who used to preach family values turned out to be the biggest casino pimps and pornographers.

Off-ramp does exist. Stop lying.
have you tried to turn crypto into cash money in a real bank account? have you tried to do it with large amounts? would you describe that process as easy?
It's the same for all the gambling platforms - they give creators and influencers privileged accounts that win more than they lose so when they stream it looks like they're not losing constantly.
Isn’t that auditable by gambling regulators?
