Yes! All adults 18+ should be allowed to gamble based on the content of their character.
No! It does not matter the content of your own character as an adult. As long as you are a Bahamian, Permanent Resident, Work Permit Holder, Employed for Gain in The Bahamas or married to a Bahamian, you should automatically be banned from playing in a Casino in The Bahamas.
