Topic: Changing Gambling Narratives (Read 514 times)
I agree, it's a good initiative but you could add but they will answer you, they do that to protect weak gamblers, spending big amounts of money and ruining their family and their own lives.
most people label gambling as something very bad, like a criminal activity that has the potential to harm people. this narrative continues to be built and makes people think negatively when talking about gambling. in fact, if we look at it from another side, gambling is actually just an entertainment that gives people the opportunity to get money... there is no illegal activity here other than someone who plays and hopes that they can win.
Well said, gambling is not by any means to be regarded for an illegal activity since it mostly comprises of what helps us to have fun, make friend, enjoy our free time while gambling and learning how to develop the bring from the way of our logical reasoning over the bet we are taking, another interesting idea about this is that maybe we are not paying attention to the intentions of the government's towards it, they regulate it well as long as the dues for it have been paid in form of tax, but for the non compliance users, they are only making opportunity form same.
I want to bring to our notice that we all have to stand in support for gambling, because its now becoming so alarming that the government as well as some individual have always been seeing gambling as an illegal thing to do,
The government part caught my attention, well, is not new for some countries' governments to see gambling as bad/illegal. This is because many countries are religious countries, particularly Muslim countries, they've never supported gambling and never will they since their religion forbids it. Also, some countries like Japan, Cambodia, North Korea etc make gambling illegal, but not entirely. They have conditions through which you can gamble and there are some plain exceptions. They mostly do that to avoid capital flight because some of them only limit the citizens but allow foreigners. What will baffle me is if those countries that were initially collecting taxes through gambling now deem it illegal.But in this case for the problem of why gambling is considered bad apart from government and religious factors in the end this will still be considered bad because there are so many cases that have existed. We have seen cases where people commit suicide because of gambling, we have also seen or heard of many crimes that occur due to gambling so in the end, regardless of religion and government, their intention is to limit gambling as a form of prevention so that other cases due to gambling do not occur.
I think there will never be a positive word for gambling and we as players must accept even if we are labeled negatively even though not all gamblers are ultimately like that.
I want to bring to our notice that we all have to stand in support for gambling, because its now becoming so alarming that the government as well as some individual have always been seeing gambling as an illegal thing to do, well this is not what we can force anyone go against his will, but then, we also have to know what we stand for, whom we are and also be proud of it by making our stand, therefore i bring to you the following.
1. Gamblers are not thieves, even though they exist everywhere.
2. Gamblers are not scammers or looter of money, some are doing it does not qualify every gambler same
3. Gambling does not go against human nature, we do it to have fun, meet friends and exercise our knowledge
4. Gambling do no harm except we invoke it on ourselves, many people are being responsible for their cause.
Lets join in support for the growth and development of gambling, eradicating the narrative of gambling doing more evil than the good if offers.

In a geographic region where gambling is allowed it is only peoples approach that are promoting most of the negativity towards gambling, a man sold his wife belongings just to fulfill his desire over a game which turns out bad was a serious case in area and in such senerio others will think bad about gambling itself and forgot that the man's approach was wrong, the only way we can help in eradicating the narrative of gambling doing more evil than good is by upholding certain principles of gambling responsibly to avoid being addicted and form a bad habit will be affecting those around us.
I understand your point but in reality there’s a 10,000 losers and only 1 winner in gambling as a representation on the winning rate against the casino. Your comparison seems like there’s a lot of winner compared to losers although you are just trying to emphasize the value of being losers to the winners.
In reality, 1 positive testimonials from winner can encourage and give motivation to all the losers to play more that’s why there’s still a lot of gamblers out there despite many is losing money frequently.
The power of 1 positive comment is more valuable than testimonials of many gambling addiction since there’s still a lot of gamblers despite the risk.
10,000 losers and 1 winner does not sound realistic buddy. You exaggerate too much on this. Yes i agree that the number of losses is higher than the number of winners everyday in gamble but not to that extent everyday. At times we get to see a lot of persons get to win a lot in some days while other times its equal. In reality, 1 positive testimonials from winner can encourage and give motivation to all the losers to play more that’s why there’s still a lot of gamblers out there despite many is losing money frequently.

Are you aware that some days do turn out so well for many gamblers. Yeah i have had this kind of experience before.

however, it cannot be denied that there are negative effects of gambling, such as addiction, big losses, money laundering, etc., but these are only the bad effects, if regulated gambling can actually have a positive impact, not only on the economy but also on the players. don't always look at the bad side, let's see that gambling is actually okay and not as bad as they think.

What I noticed is linked to gambling is money laundering but according to the news that I have read very well before, money laundering are in bank and seen as clean.
According to a report from 2022 prepared by the provincial government casinos in British Columbia, casinos were used to launder billions of dollars in cash in the past few years. Also every year American casinos record 50 000 incidents of suspicious conduct which makes us wonder our casino is the easiest way to launder money. Casinos are involved in a variety of financial activities that are similar to those of financial institutions moreover casinos have consequently established themselves as a lucrative sector for those wishing to convert illicit or dirty money into clean money. This is the reason that money launderers find the casino business to be a lucrative one for their illegal activities as well as they provide a lot of cover. We well are aware that casinos are popular hot spots for criminals who try to launder their proceeds from illegal Ventures like drug trafficking and human trafficking often target the casino business.The report: https://www.comsuregroup.com/news/scathing-report-highlights-multiple-failings-that-led-to-laundering-of-billions-of-dollars-in-bc/
In all, an ICIJ analysis found, the documents identify more than $2 trillion in transactions between 1999 and 2017 that were flagged by financial institutions' in-house compliance officers as possible money laundering or other criminal activity.
And let me tell you the true thing, hardly will they know 1% of the money laundering that is done through the bank. The only way they are knowing is if the person is linked to money laundering.
There are many businesses seen by people as legit but they are laundering money through the bank.
Gambling is legal in most countries except countries that their religion do not allow them to gamble. They see gambling like sin which make them not to gamble. Most of the countries that ban gambling are Muslim countries.

Sometimes this is the dilemma and problem, even though the country prohibits or does not legalize it, unfortunately it does not stop the emergence of illegal online gambling sites. what makes it worse, many local sites have emerged countlessly, sadly there is no guarantee that we are safe to play on these illegal local online sites. in my country it is currently viral news, but there is no solution and for some reason. so too with its people, even though it is clearly prohibited they can play secretly without being caught on local online sites. what is worrying is that many people do not have the basic knowledge to distinguish between licensed and credible sites, which in the end actually leads them to their own ignorance. in the modern era, gambling should be included in the category of high-risk entertainment, rather than prohibiting it under the pretext of a prohibition of a rule of belief or money laundering, this is actually widely used by certain groups in order to make a profit without caring about its users.

The four points you mentioned are all correct, none of them are wrong. Even then Still, I think there is no need to make such a fuss about gambling. 2. Gamblers are not scammers or looter of money, some are doing it does not qualify every gambler same
3. Gambling does not go against human nature, we do it to have fun, meet friends and exercise our knowledge

I personally think that gambling is nothing more than a source of entertainment. There can be many sources or levels of entertainment such as physical games and virtual games and gambling is another source like those. so I don't think there is any need to make too much fuss about gambling and also there is no need to be proud as a gambler.
However, I think that gambling responsibility should be promoted more than this because the way gambling is promoted in the online world in an exaggerated way is misleading most people and they fall into the trap of addiction. Therefore, we should support the Gambling responsibility campaign more instead of this type of campaign.

When someone gambles irresponsibly or promotes gambling in public, it is considered illegal by the state and punished by the administration.
Gambling has always been promoted in publics,the country isn't against It , so far they are licenced and allowed by the government then they can promote it publicly unless the government does not allow it themselves(not sure if there'sany ) although there could be a limit to where / how they can promote it.Also , government can't track every individual to know if they gamble responsibly or not , casinos might have users KYCs but government will only require it if they are after a particular individual or group of individuals(probably for money laundering and likes) so it all on the gambler to gamble responsibly. If government were to be doing that then large percentage of gamblers will have quit long ago
Lets join in support for the growth and development of gambling, eradicating the narrative of gambling doing more evil than the good if offers.
Gambling narratives differ from one person to another; it is just the narratives of irresponsible gamblers that were enhanced that make gambling so bad in the eyes of the public.
There are bad and good sides to gambling; let's take the case of a lottery here in our country: lives have changed since winning the jackpot in the lottery.
And millions of people have benefited from the taxes of the lottery, as a huge part of the income goes to the health sector. Gambling, if not properly handled, can make a person's situation bad, but if you look at the big picture, countless lives have been saved by its operation.
I agree with OP gamblers aren't any of such, they few gamblers who possess such characteristics cannot be referred to as every other person as they do not represent the general characteristics of evrry other gambler out there who legitly gamble for fun and not foe any of such and any gamblers who possess such characteristics isn't doing as a result of gambler but rather for their selves and their own personal behaviour and not gambling that led them into any of such.

True, so many people and entities are against gambling.
They only focus with gambling addicts and they label every gamblers are addicts, there's so many discrimination if you admit you're a gambler. You might lost your job, you might lost friends, you might lost your partner, you might be kicked out from your parents etc.
We need gamblers who share their gambling stories and they have a good life.
First of all, we need to understand that it is in the behavior of man to always remember and talk about the negativity of something rather than the good thing that's involved.They only focus with gambling addicts and they label every gamblers are addicts, there's so many discrimination if you admit you're a gambler. You might lost your job, you might lost friends, you might lost your partner, you might be kicked out from your parents etc.

Second, we see all this happening because of the behavior of people who are gambling addicted through their greed and mismanagement attitude. However, if most gambling platforms could develop rules and regulations that restrict gamblers who are addicted from playing it could help prevent the negative beliefs of some people about gambling.
If a country allows gambling to be allowed to flourish, it can have a negative impact on that country. In some countries, gambling is illegal, but people still gamble, but the question is not asked, because the government is not against gambling. When someone gambles irresponsibly or promotes gambling in public, it is considered illegal by the state and punished by the administration. Gambling is legal in most European countries, but gambling is especially illegal in countries where there are religious restrictions on gambling. After all, no matter which country you are in, if you gamble responsibly, you may not face any reaction from the state against you.

So now think that gambling has not yet become completely normal, but despite not being normal, the way such a negative impact has spread among the youth and teenagers, then when it is considered completely normal in the future, how will it affect every child.
Gambling becoming completely normal means that 100% of teenagers will be addicted to gambling. Which will ruin the beautiful future of every teenager.
