Topic: Charity Gambling - page 6. (Read 1549 times)

😂😂, I don't know if you referred to me or Ambatman there but whoever you did, it actually brought a grin on my face. Anyway, that's not true. I'm a cheerful giver but I don't just throw it around like it's going out of fashion. It has to be on something I agree with, not just on anything. I see that charity gambling as a smokescreen or something like pulling a wool over someone's eyes. It's just a format whose main purpose is to onboard new users without being open to admitting it. That's my point.

Coincidentally, I had a similar discussion on this two days ago with a friend offline. It's a common practice in my locality where individuals hawk raffles and interested parties pay a token to challenge their luck to win big. For me, I see it as someone trying to reap where they didn't sow. I can't imagine someone paying as little as $0.10 and then expecting to win goods worth over $70. My friend insisted he had been winning and claiming on that.

Charity organizations are often corrupt to the entire core. The intent is fine but using that intent to get money from people who are willing to donate their money is not correct.

So gambling just as a show to give the money, just adds in another unnecessary layer before donation. I guess the real motive is to get addicted rich gamblers to spend a fortune there and essentially rob their funds, although that sounds very wrong.

I would never donate to a charity, rather attempt to support a person in need directly with cash or kind.

That's the reality, and even the cause is good but many of the winners will still get interested in gambling and if they aren't properly aware about gambling responsibility or about status of good casinos then they'll most probably end up losing money.

From the few I have attended, it was the non-profit organization that organized the gambling activities to raise funds to support flood victims. Some of the games that were offered were simple and there were no minimum deposits. The activity also served as a fundraising event where wealthy people were also invited to make donations. The rich people also buy tickets for huge amounts and donate their wins to charity. My only challenge is that underage gambling might be encouraged since there are usually no age limits to the games. But I am sure that adults are already aware that it is merely an exercise to support those who are in need in the community.     

Gambling is a choice and as a result you actually can't justify why a person gambles since it's his personal choice as long as the person doesn't practice bad gambling habits and turn out to be a gambling addict. Similarly I actually don't fancy the idea of someone trying to justify the money spent by someone else because of the fact that they earned them from a bet or a gambling activity generally.

The fact is for something that has advantages , so does it come with disadvantages and some of the advantages of this are fund raising and more like a regulated gambling environment. However some disadvantages is that it could actually put some persons into gambling addiction especially those that easily generate bad habits in a relatively short period of time.

A good gesture or kind of system as long these funds would really be that used on the right way and not would really be corrupted into its officials. The bad thing on here is that not all would really be that having that kind of sincerity when it comes into its citizens on which there would really be those officials who would really be that making use of those funds into other aspect or manner. One of the things that makes it interesting is that people do have that chance for them to changed up their lives on the  time or moment that they will be having that kind of hitting up the jackpot. This is why numbers or jackpot amount becomes that bigger on fast manner because of the interest of its citizens on joining up these lotteries on which are known to be also used to be in charity or making it at least having that helping out to those who are in need.

Just like been said that as long it would reall be used properly then there's no issue when it comes to this. It will really be that understandable that there's no way on knowing about transactions be made with those amounts whether its been applied on the right way or totally goes into their own pockets on which it is really that a sad reality. We do know that there are really those government officials who would really be that too corrupt and doesnt mind about their citizens conditions and being really just that too greedy and made themselves make use of those funds.

From what I know, usually the management or organizer will donate some of the profits voluntarily to charity, but I don't know if the context here is the same or if there is different meaning.
And it is true that there is risk that may be felt quite significantly in society with everything that is promoted because this is gambling and we all know that gambling has various impacts such as addiction or even worse, but it needs to be underlined that every activity, even positive ones must have its own bad side.

The help doesn’t come from people winning the lottery, it’s obvious how hard it is to win. Out of millions of bettors, only one or two might win, and sometimes, no one wins at all on a given day. The help I’m referring to is in how the government uses the funds they generate from the lottery. That’s why it’s called “charity,” as the money goes toward paying hospital bills, buying medicine for those in need, and supporting other programs that benefit the poor.

Just to clarify, it does help some people, not all as the funds are limited, assuming they’re used properly.

Oh yes, I've heard about charity gambling just like charity trading, there is nothing people will not do in the name of charity these days. Well, it's not bad at all in my opinion if the organizers can be true to their words, but I discover that many of them are just looking for opportunities to enrich their pockets and NGOs are commonly doing this. But some will surely be genuine so if I even see that happening, I can participate to help the course of the charity. This may look somehow since gambling is involved but we should look at that as a way to have fun by gambling our money and still donate the loss to a good course.

People always have a choice, either they bet on a lottery and hope for a return or just donate directly to charitable institutions. But this seems more like a tradition now, especially since it’s not the only lottery with a charity purpose. Many countries have similar setups.

The key factor here is whether the country supports gambling or its teachings. And its no secret to all of us here that in some Muslim-majority countries, gambling is considered a sin, so even if it’s for a good cause, it’s still forbidden. That’s the big difference, it’s not just about purpose but also cultural and religious beliefs.

When it comes to charity, it's a good advocate for those less fortunate individuals but through gambling? It's somehow a different story. Not all people have the same perspective, and it might lingers different opinions. However, the intention and goals is good but still it comes from gambling. Though there's no bad omen about getting funds generated from gambling, that always depend on a person who performs the actions behind that program.

Actually I'm quite confused about charity gambling. Do they implement charity to get sympathy and then will call more people to gamble, so that the more people who gamble, the more charity programs there will be. Oh, or is it gambling for charity, or charity to create more gamblers. Hmmm.
Because whatever it is, gambling is still gambling, with all its sides, including the dangers if there is addiction and uncontrolled gambling activities that will cause various negative effects. Then there is charity, as if to cover up the negative side, which in fact cannot happen either.

Because here, with the existence of a charity gambling program, it means that we are gambling and all the results are donated. Right? Then if so, then maybe there will be manipulation for victory, but after that, when it is no longer in the charity program, it will return to normal. Isn't that actually more attractive for people to gamble with the existence of a charity program? This will definitely always have pros and cons, pluses and minuses.

Well can we call it a free will donation to the charity Is that what it means it context?
This type of gambling is cool but partial they are still promoting gambling which is actually risky to the society, Even though there are benefits attached to it. Usually I am not used to such gambling before but I know it would help the less privilege or the needy.

I feel like this is cool and doesn't really portray much like the regular casinos do... In postcode lotteries, how ever it goes, it's a win-win in my opinion.. If your postcode ain't selected, others will and that's purely like a philanthropy.
I don't have too much of an information about this. For that reason, I can't tell why it was affiliated with casinos at the long run. My guess is, it's impossible to reach out to every single soul with the benefits from this organization thus, this helps in an even distribution chain ??
Some people can be so dumb they don't even care about whatever displays on their screen, as long as they type the shit outta their goofy head, they're cool. I love the fact that you explained how this works to him.

Who goes to offer gifts to charity houses? A lot of them wouldn't have nothing to do with gambling. But, because they've been convinced by the organization that for the sake of Charity they'll need to gamble. That's quite some guerrilla IQ marketing. That'll attract some non gamblers to try gaming, even when they never had it in mind. It's still a form of reachability which I think is not fine for the demography of people who give for charity.

maybe they think they can take some money from the bookies to donate. but it seems all that is in vain. because the bookies will not provide continuous wins. even the system they create is to bankrupt their players.

so I agree, rather than sharing the results of gambling winnings for charity, it is better to give their gambling capital to charity directly.

For the intention and purpose, yes it is good, I can support it, but the problem here is the method, which perhaps most people here also think the same, that collecting money through gambling with the aim of donating it is a bit strange to hear, although yes I understand that the chance of winning does exist and is open at any time to anyone, but the only problem here is that gambling will always be a risky activity, whatever the type of game and even though you have pretty good skills, the possibility of losing will always be there and apply to you, especially when luck really doesn't come.

So the point is I think the method is a bit strange, but yes for the purpose, yes I support that, but if there is another way that makes more sense to be used as an intermediary for collecting funds, then I think it is much better than gambling.

I don't think it is completely fair to compare charity gambling with the story of Robinhood. Also, I can get the idea and the concern of charity gambling to somehow be an incentive for people to gamble more or get addicted to gambling, but in reality, charity events with are related to gambling are more likely to attract the attention of people who are already into gambling, instead of novices or people who have never gambled before. If you consider that, even if they are not gambling for a charitable cause, they would still continue to partake in gambling or betting in some normal casino or betting house.
So in my humble opinion, those gambling events aimed for charity are a net positive, as any other charitable event is supposed to be.

I agree with almost everything that you said but I do not agree with the last part. The part that you said 'and to be frank this manner will definitely promote gambling big time'. The reason I do not agree with you is because if there is nothing like this, gambling are being promoted. People will always still gamble if there is nothing like this. So I do not see how this should be termed as a way of promoting gambling. I see it as a way to raise funds instead.

Same here in our country on which we do have that sweepstakes on which this is really that being tied up into a charity on which it is really indeed a good gesture or something that really talks about having that help into poor people for whatever those bettors on lotteries will really be making into or some sort of indirect way on paying up some taxes and having that catch on trying out to win up something that could changed up their entire lives. The main issue on here is that people or the citizens do really have some doubt on the fairness on how they do took up those draws on which they are really that believing that the ones who do win up those jackpots are into those who are that their own employees and this had become a known issue for most people. It is really that indeed that not proven out but if the people do have those kind of
assumptions then this could really be that true.
