Exchanges will always be around now, bookie's realised they couldn't beat them and that they were going to go away so done the next best thing and bought them.
Now they've gathered them in their arms and have control they aren't going to market them or push them but they can cut them off at the knees and stop them growing.
If they decided to close them and force people to their SB the idea of them is out there now and another will pop up and take its place very quickly. So now there in the control of bookies, it's in their interests to keep them running all be it hidden from sight from the average joe
But even he's made his own exchange now so its not to well hidden 
As for legislation to ban them that won't happen either, online bookies based oversea's sprung up so punters didn't have to pay tax on winnings which crippled the UK high st bookies who couldn't compete, the Labour Government had to then abolish the betting tax or risk the whole high st betting industry going under.
So any attempts to ban or even heavily tax it would just see it get move offshore and users will quickly find a way to still access it
Neither Dallas nor Megarain, when he posed the question, took into consideration imminent nuclear war.
