Update 🗞️

Amin Modad, former Liberia Minister of Commerce and Industry, has called for an outright ban on gambling, including sports betting, across Liberia. He describes gambling as a "pervasive epidemic" harming society, especially targeting vulnerable groups like youth with promises of quick wealth that often lead to despair.

Modad argues that gambling exploits poverty, fuels addiction, crime, and drug abuse, and causes more social harm than economic benefit. Comparing gambling to drug addiction, he emphasizes the societal costs outweigh any short-term gains and urges for sober national discussion on the issue. His remarks come amid increasing concerns over the rapid growth of gambling centers in Liberia and their negative impacts on education and youth. Whether the government will pursue regulation or an outright ban remains uncertain.
