I have never seen physical gambling centers that engage in drugs dealing or prostitution. Maybe they don't do it openly or it could well be an exaggeration.
It could also be that the law enforcement agencies/government do not try trooting out lawbreakers.

This is a point of concern for the governing bodies. The general perception is that people involved in gambling deal with crimes and illegal stuff like drugs and since I have been part of gambling, I have seen people doing every illegal activity while they gamble. This is one among many reasons why the governments have banned gambling in my country which is very bad.

People who are entering into the casinos maybe in the rage of doing crimes and also we can see more prostitution on underworld casinos sometimes in the regulated casinos as well but it is doesn't means that people who are gambling needs to be criminals.

there are lots of crimes will happen in this world it will not being supported by cryptocurrency at anytime and people will always use cryptocurrency for good use only and the crimes are always happen for normal paper money I strongly believe cryptocurrency has good way of development.

I think there is a dark side of the cryptocurrency as well but this is true for almost everything around. Look at Elizabeth Holms. She founded Theranos and was something that made her a billionaire but then there have been allegations against her and she had to appear in front of courts. So it is all a game of mind. If you use it for the good, it is a blessing. If not, it’s a curse.

There is only dark side in crypto currency because the people that make it dark to some other people have a bad intention. Take for example, money laundering, drug dealers, funding terrorists activities, etc are all the activities that people with dark mind make use of crypto currency and make crypto currency look as if is purely meant for dark business.

Firstly, everything that have an advantage must have disadvantage but I wont say the dark side of gambling was prostitution, drugs etc. Besides, I wont say that the dark side of crypto currency was money laundering etc either because the people that abuse the potential of the system the one with dark intentions.

That actually does mame sense. Of course the casinos don't have anything to do with those criminal services but there's a big percentage of gamblers (mostly which are rich) that use those services like prostitution and drugs. It is a stereotype, not all gamblers do that but it is kind of linked to eachother.

Agreed, banning gambling is a waste of time in this age. It won't prevent people from participating in foreign gamblings online. Governments could help turn people away from it like they do in some socities or simply enlighten gamblers on the danger of gambling addiction with possible ways to combate it.

I recently participated in a debate on debatepedia and this particular one brought about a huge argument and I was wondering how that argument will play out here and hoping to view your thoughts on this.

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;

Quote

Casinos are often associated with criminal activity. Drug dealers and prostitutes operate near casinos – they know that there are a large number of potential clients in the area. Casinos can therefore be devastating to neighborhoods.

Quote

The existence of criminals does not make nearby businesses (including casinos) immoral. It is perverse to punish people who just want to gamble (and not take drugs or use prostitutes) by taking away their chance to do so.

For me personally, I believe immoral activities are certainly based on each individual and it does not have anything to do with gambling. Nevertheless, from some of the further research that I made, I got to understand that, these things mentioned are very much applicable in most casinos; drug dealings, prostitution and even some casinos where the owners are into some shady stuffs. Well, just want to get to know what you guys think about this. Do you think Casino is like a hiding place for perpetrators of crime or casino on its own, ushers in a huge level of immoral activities by default?

Indeed. Crimes are not just about playing gambling because immoral activities are caused by humans not by the game. Maybe with the presence of money associated with the game, people make crime to obtain easy money. Addiction as one of the immoral activities is due to the behavior of the people and not because they are playing gambling. Actually for me, there is no wrong thing on playing gambling as long as you know how to moderately play it just like what I do into the online casino where I am up to wherein I just treat it as my leisure activity enjoying varieties of casino games on it specially when I first did my deposit in which I have received their welcome bonus reward

For me as well there is no wrong on playing gambling. The people involve with it are the real ones. Basically, people are the one who play the game which can create the crime. Gambling must have been treated as a game that we enjoy but due to the greediness which is in nature of humans, crimes are created that turns to be blame into the game. I do like the idea oglf having that opportunity playing casino games conveniently through online and also the welcome reward you were talking about so I got interested to it.

Indeed. There is no wrong in playing gambling as long as you can handle it by yourself by having self control to avoid trouble of creating a crime. You will surely like the convenience in this online casino to have that opportunity of receiving that great bonus once you have done your first deposit on it.

I don't think that casino and gambling is a hinding place for gambling and casino and I do believe that some people are really doing legitimate business in gambling and casino. Many people take gambling as one of the bad habits but they are many people making money from it.

Well i think casino and gambling houses are the one who are the most benefited from gambling. We all know that casino wins more than the players so this is a perfect business if one has money to start a gambling website.
Gambling do comes as a bad habit in few parts of the world, but in some part it is considered as a good game for the people who have money and want to enjoy their time.

I have watched tons of news that the cause of the crime was due to the gambling addiction of the suspect. I can say that it is contributing to the increase of crimes but there are some reasons behind it that it can always depend to the location.

Let's say in Location A: crime rates increased due to the uncontrollable behavior of gamblers because casino's can be found near them. They can't help themselves and they are coming to that point that they can commit such things. It is giving that factor but I don't totally blame the casino's but the behavior of those kind of gamblers.

Gambling is a big industry contributing good to the growth of bitcoin as well other digital currencies. Crime happens even when there is no gambling. Gambling is completely different and the earnings made in large volume at times will lead to crimes. This all happens when the person doesn't know what to do with the money earned out of gambling. In reality this is very small in number.

Gambling is just one place to create crimes, and I think this is more vulnerable for a crime since I believe some casinos are also part of those crimes. Its normal for the thinking of every person that if you do come to casinos, you are there to make money so whether you win or not your life is still in risk. This is why many gamblers are now switching online, because they don't want to experience this one.

in online or casino even though there is still a risk of abuse from someone. people who have bad qualities will certainly do evil if something bad happens to them. gambling does not turn someone into a demon, but if their nature is bad, then they will do crime, this depends on one's nature

....
The banning on gambling made by the government is totally ineffective and not only online gambling, even offline gambling still can operates on a country that has banned gambling. Gambling is something that cannot be eliminated among the public and young addicts will continue to grow because of high curiosity (not only about money) and those who do not have a good moral character will likely act negatively on their loss in gambling. High awareness and control are the main things to prevent gambling crime.

I agree - it's like the prohibition in the US in the early twentieth century, the forbidden fruit tastes better so banning gambling by the government will not eliminate it and maybe even encourage some people to try it ...

Returning to the main topic I think that gambling alone does not increase criminality, but it can be an indirect factor - people addicted to gambling who have lost everything will look for any way to get cash and get their money back and this can push them to crime ...

Personality can only be changed if the person in questions morals character is questionable. This is because if you are a discipling person no matter what comes your way money can't and should not change who you are.

This is the reason it is banned in many Muslim countries and few others. This is something that the state does not allow you because after you loose all your money in gambling, you have nothing left and there comes the responsibility of the state to fund you. So according to the paternity law, the state has the right to enforce the regulations upon you.

Banning gambling is not completely effective after the introduction of online gambling. This is the reason why crime rate and addiction rates are keeping increasing in most countries. Young generations are seeming highly irresponsible about their duties and everything whereas governments also helpless in this regard. Only spreading awareness against gambling alone may bring changes to those young generations.

It would be rare such scenario would exists or only thing it can happen is with people who are addicted to gambling and has being losing money and require more money to play but do not have it. Thus in such scenario they would be stealing money from others in order to play.

There has been scenario were individuals steal money from family members all in the name of gambling. The truth of the whole thing is addiction to gambling leads to crime either direct or indirect crime; meaning steal from family members to gamble or outright steal from neighborhood just to gamble.

You have a point on that. Heard so many stories about stealing owed to gambling addiction. I personally know people that did that, they are in fact not poor but in the middle-class family. They resort to stealing someone's property just to continue their gambling habit. How bad it is to ruin your family's reputation just because of your gambling addiction.

Some countries do make rules for banning gambling. It is true that sometimes the personal influence it has will make a gambler lose their emotional control and that can make a bad thing happen. But basically when a gambler can do good emotional control, they can play comfortably. Gambling games are a way to melt entertainment and for someone who is right they can get a pleasant sensation when playing gambling. All of this depends on someone's personality, good people will get good results and gambling is a way to relieve stress for good people.
