I'm not against OP, we all know there are always good and bad effects or advantages of gambling.
Too much is always bad in all aspects of things, not only in gambling. That's why we have a government to protect us, people, and make some rules and regulations.
So for me, I stand with OP, let's just obey the government without harming everybody. We can't blame them.
Topic: Changing Gambling Narratives - page 7. (Read 1018 times)
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.
No doubt that some countries don't seem to be friendly for gamblers and gambling as a business but this is not in most countries because there are gambling laws in some jurisdiction that helps in regulating gambling business. In my country, gambling is a legal business and one of the biggest industry that have created employment both direct and indirect. Government also make a lot of revenue from gambling as a business so those negative perception you listed are not too common again because time have past when those things were happening. 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.

Why it feels like this is an alliance to start a revolution? 
Actually, the narrative about the gambling industry has changed. And that's why many countries are starting to experiment that they can get huge revenue on it.
With that, they'll have another reason to just allow gambling companies to come to them because they are seeing the stats don't lie and many are benefiting from it. But at what expense? at the expense of the losers.

Only religious leaders and hard core religious practitioners that will kick against gambling, but the government of christain countries wouldn't kick against it, because you are free to do whatever you like as long as it isn't against the law. Some gamblers have made people to look down on gamblers, and criticize gambling due to their careless gambling lifestyle that turned them to addicts.

Seriously the negative narratives of gambling has helped a lot of gamblers to try keep good conducts and maintain responsible gambling habits otherwise, the number of addicted gamblers we accounts up to dates would had been more than what we got now.Atleast the criticism of the anti gamblers formally reminds us about the potential risks of gambling so even if we have not come to the point of anyone particularly to educate us about gambling risks is a point to stay concious and aware that is accompanied with disheartening characters if we are not disciplined enough when gambling.
So I think everyone should say whatever they want to say buy should not be enough reason to get gambling banned in it entire processes as being criticized.
Gambling is gaining massive awareness despite the negative perception of some people, especially now that crypto casinos have joined the gambling industry. The biggest factor that can change the negative perception of people who don't understand responsible gambling is the gamblers lifestyles. The attitudes of gambling addicts makes people who don't understand to generalize that gambling is evil and it's irresponsible and lazy people who are looking for a short cut to riches that gambles. These people don't know that many people that they respect as responsible people gambles, it's only the irresponsible ones that their attitudes reveals them. It can help if responsible gamblers can be proud to say that they gamble if the need arises.
Lets join in support for the growth and development of gambling, eradicating the narrative of gambling doing more evil than the good if offers.
Without supporting gambling, gambling itself has grown greatly.
You may see that there are countries that prohibit or restrict gambling, but the prohibition or restriction is not entirely because there are certain conditions where gambling is still carried out only with more closed conditions or only for areas that have been determined to have physical casinos, while online casinos can operate and be accessed anywhere.

It shouldn't be gamblers. It should be the concept or notion of spending money itself. You don't see people shaming others whenever they buy a game they want, items and clothes they want, or even the gacha games out there where people spend thousands. Yet gamblers get shamed just because they spend money to win more lol. Though tbf the notion got worse not because of gambling but because of the people themselves. Gamblers are not scammers yes, but scammers can be gamblers. Or thieves. Anyway, I don't think we need to do anything ourselves really. The notion is slowly changing with more people being open to the mindset that gamblers just, well, gamble. Granted until some major religions don't remove the idea that gambling is a sin I reckon that's going to be a permanent mark.
One of the arguments for banning gambling in some countries is that the state allegedly protects, so to speak, the poor strata of the population from complete ruin, relying on the fact that people will look for ways to earn money in gambling.
For me, this looks like hypocrisy. Concern for one's people, on the contrary, should be in the form of choosing freedom of action, educating the population, and preventing misconceptions about what is entertainment and what is not.
I agree that many people, looking for ways to survive, rush into the abyss of gambling, losing everything, and getting a lot of debt. But everyone else who likes gambling and those who understand when to play and when to look for ways to provide for their lives and their loved ones should not suffer from this.

But you can't force your views on gambling on others, especially for countries that prohibit gambling because it is against the majority of people's religion in the country, for example in my country gambling is prohibited because the majority of people here are Muslim and Christian, so the government strictly prohibits gambling to respect the prohibition of gambling in those religions (even though in the end there are still hundreds of thousands of people who actively gamble here). But I agree with you that gambling is not something illegal, but often people see it as a bad thing.
As far as I know, gambling is prohibited in most countries of the world. But by nature we are more attracted to forbidden things. So I think people in countries where gambling is prohibited are more involved in gambling.
Gambling is bad when you choose it as a profession and become addicted to it. If we think of gambling only as a game or we gamble only to pass the time, then maybe it cannot be called bad. But I have seen many gamblers whose only job all day is gambling. I will say that gambling is definitely bad for these gamblers. And they are addicted to gambling badly. We must try to control ourselves and also be aware of gambling addiction.
The gambling industry is just an entertainment business. To offset some of the negative aspects of this industry, such as the risk of gambling addiction or criminalization of activities (such as money laundering), organizations in this industry (casinos) could allocate part of the profits to charitable programs. I think this would help to improve the biased attitude towards gambling.
1. Gamblers are not thieves, even though they exist everywhere.
Where does this narrative come from? I have never heard anyone accuse or group gamblers as robbers. Maybe because they know a few people who would steal to gamble but that is just a small percentage of gamblers.Quote
3. Gambling does not go against human nature, we do it to have fun, meet friends and exercise our knowledge
In fact, gambling is literally in our nature. We humans like to be entertained. We are competitive and we like to win. We do both of these things through gambling. There is nothing unnatural or inhumane with the very act of gambling.
But you can't force your views on gambling on others, especially for countries that prohibit gambling because it is against the majority of people's religion in the country, for example in my country gambling is prohibited because the majority of people here are Muslim and Christian, so the government strictly prohibits gambling to respect the prohibition of gambling in those religions (even though in the end there are still hundreds of thousands of people who actively gamble here). But I agree with you that gambling is not something illegal, but often people see it as a bad thing.
The gambling industry itself is very specific. There are many opportunities for abuse by gambling sites. However, if you look critically at the regulation - is it really useful? This is a controversial issue. Nevertheless, regulation plays a very important role. The fact is that in society as a whole there is a negative attitude towards gambling and almost everywhere in all countries there are movements to ban gambling. This is mainly due to the fact that gambling often provokes the emergence of gambling addiction in many citizens. In this regard, gambling establishments themselves can help the industry if they allocate part of the funds for the rehabilitation of addicts. In many countries, gambling establishments participate in the rehabilitation of addicts. But, unfortunately, this practice is not yet widespread.
Gambling is an activity that is prohibited in some countries because it is against their religion, but there are also countries that legalize gambling. In my own country, gambling is prohibited because it is against religion, but even so I agree that gambling is not a bad thing because basically it is just entertainment so if we do it healthily it will not cause bad events.
Many people who experience bad events are because of their own mistakes who do gambling excessively, and besides that those who view gambling as a bad thing probably conclude from the many people who experience bad things like bankruptcy due to addiction, but in fact gambling is not as bad as thought.

You’re not wrong about all you’ve said here. But I need you to understand that some of those who condemn gambling as an activity do so not because of it is wrong or because they actually view gamblers as thieves or bad people but due to its very addictive nature and the potential impacts on gamblers who are not able to manage their emotions all the time and end up getting addicted to it. You can agree with me that to these very set of people, gambling may have done more harm than good, not because gambling is wrong but the gamblers have accepted a flawed mentality and perspective about the gambling and this may have influenced their attitude towards gambling (in a negative way) as well as their decisions.
So if you’re not a gambler but someone you know or love is and he’s actually not doing it the right way and is being affected by it, trust me that you’ll wouldn’t feel any differently about gambling and that’s just the fact. Misconceptions.

Well, there are countries with strict rules against gambling while others are just strict with the regulations but they are legal. So, the governments who are against it are probably those who are banning gambling in their country.
Sure, we are not doing anything wrong but it will still depend on our government if we can continue or not. If you are against it, then maybe vote for a person who is pro-gambling and not the ones against it. That's if your country is in a democratic government. Still, there may be a possibility that a government can see gambling as a threat to their community which could be the reason behind not letting their countrymen play.
Some see it as an opportunity to make money from taxes to boost their economy.

Can you drop some references on where do you see the alarming rate about oppression on gambling?
The country itself might be the huge factor for the hate especially if the country ban gambling like Muslim country since this is against their religion and law.
There’s no such tension in my country and also the increasing number of gamblers is already there without any problem at all that’s why I want to know your reference for this movement so that we can support you in case it can be justified.
I know we have different opinions, and it's important that there are other people as well who have different views about gambling because of the consequences that it brings to other people. Remember, all the things you have said are your own. Legality should be per country basis, but aside from that, the numbering that you have.
Let me reply to you 1 by 1 in terms of what I think of your view.
Thanks for sharing your view, OP, and I doubt it can change the views of people who are negatively affected by gambling. All I see towards your post is the fact that you are just enabling gambling and imposing that "it's okay" and nothing is wrong with it but we all know that's not true.
Let me reply to you 1 by 1 in terms of what I think of your view.
1. Gamblers are not thieves, even though they exist everywhere.
Addicted gamblers are and they tend to find solutions that helps them find their capital in gambling, it can be from stealing. 2. Gamblers are not scammers or looter of money, some are doing it does not qualify every gambler same
]But it still exists because of gambling, so what do you want to say about gambling in general? It's still problematic and you just cannot assume something like "not all are the same" but there's still the problem.3. Gambling does not go against human nature, we do it to have fun, meet friends and exercise our knowledge
Some people view it as their salvation from poverty. What do you think about this now?4. Gambling do no harm except we invoke it on ourselves, many people are being responsible for their cause.
I do hope that people are like you, being responsible of their own, but that's not the case for everyone.Thanks for sharing your view, OP, and I doubt it can change the views of people who are negatively affected by gambling. All I see towards your post is the fact that you are just enabling gambling and imposing that "it's okay" and nothing is wrong with it but we all know that's not true.
Will it work?
Here maybe we can all have good narrative and perception for gambler as long as it is not detrimental and can control ourselves over everything but out there in the community environment it will be very difficult to fix the bad narrative and perception towards gambler because the conversation out there will be much more dominant easy to always on inappropriate topics.
On the other hand, some criminal activities carried out by gambler will always be remembered by the community and of course that is the main driver why bad thoughts towards gambler spread among the community from one individual to another.
