I don't really get it, how do you gamble on BTC's price exactly? 

To me it just sounds like Trading, so are they planning to ban trading BTC? 

And no, I havent read this anywhere, what's the source?

I think this means ban shorting or longing BTC. Shorting means that you sell something at on price, with a future delivery, hoping that the price then is lower than the sell price. Longing is different, as you buy BTC at current price, with a future delivery, hoping that the price has riced, to make you a profit.
