I don't think they are as intimately linked as they once were, back in the day, most gambling houses were controlled by criminal organizations such as the Mafia, which meant that mostly criminals and guys from the underworld would be involved. However, since it has been legalized, there is no longer any criminal association, it is as clean as can be in most cases, and even most crypto casinos are licensed nowadays.

They used to be intimately linked in the past (just wanted to use that word of yours), but in reality times have changed.
Yeah, there may be some casinos that still tend to do some illegal shits and then you get to see some criminal activities revolving around them, but that certainly depends on whether gambling is legalized and regulated or not.

For now, in most countries, it has been legalized and of course, opening a casino now requires you to get a license as a business man, and it is only someone who would want to jeopardize that, which would end up screwing up with illegal and immoral activities around the casino.

I think its possible to amplify or pick up crime as a result of gambling experience. In particular, more so I think, in relation to old fashion walk in casinos.

Any person who has got addicted to gambling the chances of happening of crime also increases with that cases. Though it will a few % among that addictions who can commit crime and it will happen when they lose all their money and want more to gamble.

Do you really know cases of gamblers who lost money in a casino, went out and stole from someone or robbed someone at gunpoint to be able to get back to game? Never heard of anything like it. Gamblers aren't some hardcore criminals and they aren't blinded by drugs when they are playing. If they see an opportunity they'll take it but they won't start killing people to be able to play.

With addiction gambling problems in the family will be more chaotic, disputes and feelings of unhappiness will continue to haunt someone, especially when losing a bet. The warmth in the family diminishes during the act of playing gambling gambling and the like.

Depends on what kind of "crime" you are talking about. Crime itself is a very broad topic. But, it is true gambling and crime is somewhat related specially with the people who are addicted to gambling. They might do anything to get money to gamble. They might end up mixing with the wrong people and engage in criminal activities. But I guess this is true for just few percentage of people. Better not generalize everyone.

I do not really think so. Gambling has nothing to do with criminal activities. However, you can find a drug dealer who is into gambling. Gambling is just a way to have fun and get more money. That's all. Added to that, people do have their side activities like being drug dealers or go into prostitution. They also can gamble. But that does not mean that gambling incite them to do those things. There are many casino's owners who are not doing shady things.

In my country gambling itself is a crime and the people who are gambling addicted are mostly criminals. It is very hard to lose your hard earn money every time in gambling. To avoid this thing they commit crimes to get some money because they do not want to lose their own money or they don’t have any money. In simple words I can say that gambling and crimes are connected with each other.

If just gambling itself is a crime in your country, that just means thatgambling is banned in your country right? That is the only reason why gambling will be a crime right? When it is banned. If a country does not ban Gambling, it is still legal. You can still gamble as long as you want. Gambling causes depression, regrets to gamblers and that mental disorders will cause the gambler to commit crimes.

Logical answer,but it doesn't menas all the gambers were criminals are spending the illegally obtained money some maybe have earned lot of money or even from their parent's properties so they are chose to gamble for spending their money.But gambling maybe good or bad for some reasons but it is not the reason for any crimes.

government can earn taxes from gambling too i dont see why a country doesnt want more taxes since it would help improve the country after all, people have a will to do everything they want from the money they earned its their decision to gamble it, i dont see a reason why gamblers are criminals that doesnt make any sense why would they label them as criminals its just people spending money.

Actually, the bone of content here is that does gambling cause an increase in various kinds of related criminal activities? Few examples of the major points raised were

Criminals profit from business that is illegal. In places where gambling is legal, criminals do not profit from it.

Gambling is similar to legalized marijuana. A big part of its negative stigma comes from illegalization and criminal activities which spring up as a result of state policy. Once legalized things become more manageable, prices decline, quality of product rises and criminal activity greatly ceases if it does not cease altogether.

Right now there are many who are demanding that governments ban and illegalize animal trophies. The downside with that type of heavy handed authoritarian approach is, making animal trophies illegal would increase their cost and give criminals yet another market to leverage for profits.

In some instances legalization of things like marijuana and gambling could be the better option, in contrast to illegalization of those things.

The thing is that aside from legalization, you'd also need somewhat strict control by the government.
Or else it is still very possible that casinos attract all sorts of illegal activities.

You can bet your ass that there are a ton of legal casinos, that do some money laundering on the side for criminals.

Legalize gambling, sure, but also build a clear set of rules around it and enforce them.

Well we can consider Money laundering as one of the biggest Crime Effects.

That's why all Countries should take in consideration taxing.

Taxing won't resolve the issue. If you tax casinos they will have to increase their fees and every single user will have to pay for it. At the same time those who launder money through casinos won't care if they have to pay a few hundred more per month. They are saving much more on taxes by doing it than they can ever lose in fees.
Aslo, if the casino is in on it it hides the income so taxing it won't help because the laundered money is off the books.

Who said anything about taxing Casinos? Do you even know what governments taxing is really about?

It's on the last far end side of a transaction....

After you send ur crypto coins from fiat to bank or withdraw money.

Government takes taxes from your winning funds not from Casino.

This is one of the reason why gambling is illegal in my country. Domestic violence, drugs, prostitution, theft and money laundering, these crimes were rising when gambling was not illegal. The increase in crime rates actually lead to the prohibition of gambling. Physical casinos are prone to crimes more than online casinos.

It's bias to think that gambling can lead to crime. Not everyone that gambles initiate in crime, though, I guess some of the reasons why gambling is been related or afflicted to crime is because some gamblers gets addicted to gambling easily and this addiction moves them to do unthinkable things when they have the urge to play but can't afford it.

We cannot deny that the gambling environment is very negative and even gambling is labeled by many people as a negative action. You are right, not all gamblers have negative behavior but most people who do gambling are those who always do criminal things. So, everyone thinks gambling as a criminal act is normal because it looks at most gamblers who always do negative things.

You have no never heard about this but this is a fact and the reason is that addicted gambler want money for their addiction and to get some money they can do anything illegal but they want money at any cost. I have seen so many cases. Most of the robbers are gamblers because they rob and loot people to fulfill their addiction. When one thing is illegal why not so many?

I believe so.Even in our country i see a lot of addicted gamblers who rob expensive properties like jewelries,branded shirts or shoes or even high priced smart phones just to fulfill their gambling addiction.Gambling may be good for some but most of the time it can create crimes due to the greediness of gamblers themselves.

It's rare for me to hear there are gambling addicts who commit big crimes like robbing or killing people. Usually the crimes they committed were crimes that were relatively small such as stealing from friends, parents and or pawned items that weren't theirs. Indeed there are gamblers who commit big crimes but that is very rare according to my knowledge.

Yes, most of the crimes are a small case, like stealing from friends, his relative but you know, when he start stealing like that, it's a red flag there because we never knows, maybe he will make a bigger crime someday.
