Topic: Gambling centers/sites for the rich versus for the poor. (Read 701 times)

Still, every time dictates its own rules, but I think online casino owners are finally happy that it doesn't matter who visits the site and from what country in the world, except for age restrictions and some prohibited jurisdictions. If casino owners had been told this 100 years ago, they wouldn't have believed it, haha.

In general, the status of rich people will always require that such players gather in one place and of course this will happen offline. For example, games that are shown on streams, where rich celebrities play with rich players and high rollers.

Previously, there was a clear division between casinos for rich people and gambling houses for poor people. In casinos for rich people, there was a special dress code - tailcoats for men and evening dresses for women. Poor people could not get into such establishments.

However, all this was in the past - now you will be allowed into any casino even in torn jeans.

In addition, all this applies to offline casinos, and not to online casinos. Online casinos were originally more democratic. On the Internet, it is generally difficult to create an elite project exclusively for the rich. Although such attempts have been made many times.

Perhaps in the future there will be such a division - very rich people play in offline casinos, and not so rich people play in online casinos.

Getting frequent bonuses has been one of the way gamblers keeps staying updated while gambling. Sometimes we want to try our lucks as gamblers but insufficient funds can make us to stay away from gambling for too long. Casino owners are aware about this and that's why they will keep giving us bonuses so we can be playing frequently, getting accustomed to their casinos. Creating a VIP rank is another way for casinos to give out bonuses while making us addicted to gambling and spending more attention the same time to reach the VIP level.

True!
The main difference I see between rich and poor gamblers is the VIP treatment and exclusivity that comes with paying more. In casinos, there might be VIP sessions where wealthy individuals can play poker games or other games with their rich friends. In contrast, poorer individuals might be in the common section. The rich might enjoy fine drinks, while the poor might just be playing on a budget.

While everyone is playing the same game, the rich might have an upper hand in winning due to their ability to spend more. They might gain exclusive access to bonuses and perks that poorer individuals can't afford. This can lead to a cycle where poorer individuals feel pressure to borrow money to play big, hoping to hit it big. However, this rarely works out, as the chances of winning are slim.

So, the exclusivity that comes with wagering big is the main difference between rich and poor gamblers. But let's remember that gambling is gambling, regardless of one's financial status.

Money is a big factor in gambling so here comes the difference between rich and poor. Now maybe many will explain this matter that money is not the main thing but the main thing is whether the gambler is gambling with the right strategy. I would initially agree with this statement but when a poor gambler gambles and loses despite having the right strategy then he doesn't get enough money to gamble. But if the same thing happens to a rich person, after losing a few gambling games, he will still have enough money to gamble and continue his gambling with that money. Basically, this is where the big difference between the gambling of rich gamblers and poor gamblers is created. But it doesn't take long for people to run out of money so gambling with the right strategy is very important.

Especially in online gambling, there is no difference between the rich and the poor. In online gambling, both rich and poor can participate with any amount of money. A rich person may participate in gambling with a large amount of money because he has a lot of money, while a poor gambler will participate with a small amount of money. If two people participate for entertainment, then they will definitely be able to enjoy entertainment, in this case there will be no difference. Now if I say from my side, I am poor, I can participate in online gambling where a rich person is participating.

Poor Rich gambling   where is this coming from

When it comes to gambling say for example the various VIP ranks that are available to online gambling,  it doesn't mention anything about Rich or Poor it's all about appreciating the high hitters who contribute the most to the growth of the casino!

And in terms of gambling habits between the two , let's just say if you have the money your risk appetite is lowered unlike were you have a dollar chasing down 1000 odds in trying to win $1K and you winning chances are below 10% unlike using big money for one game of which when you win you are done for the day or week #Smartgambling.

Dress codes in casinos actually differ for how formal the casino is. It’s said that a casino could establish their own rules so you’d expect a casino associated with high-end luxurious hotels or establishments would expect their customers to dress appropriately. Meanwhile casinos that are not that expensive and high-end wouldn’t be as strict.
A casino with big customer base especially ones that are extremely rich and powerful would not second guess turning away someone who looks like they can’t afford even a drink in the casino. They are trying to maintain a brand. An image. And low and middle class people won’t fit into that image.

This is the first time I've ever heard about this. Perhaps a physical casino could establish a dress code, but I highly doubt they'd turn anyone away. Don't get me started on online casinos; there's no such thing, and there never will be one. The low and middle classes are the best customers of the casinos; turning them away would automatically delete the largest of their customer bases. There's certainly a reason why these two classes often spend the most money, even though it's not affordable for them to do so, because they're trying to find a shortcut out of their current lifestyle.

Especially online, yes.

Bonuses are actually the same and in fact, I heard that many high-level VIPs are mad at different online gambling sites because of the low rakeback that they receive compared to those who just wagered enough and a low-level VIP. Well, that's a marketing strategy to pull more players, focus on the young players, and give them back good amounts so that they will come back over and over again unlike those who have been in the industry for a long time. It sounds unfair but that's how marketing works.
Regarding the status, I do believe that many poor people are affected by a gambling problem because this is where they think they will find hope to either double their money or higher than that. Well, it's their risk, which is why we should be wise before we even gamble.

Most likely you are right, because poor people always dream of getting rich, and of course there are a lot of them. They think that winning will completely change their whole life and they will not have to think every day where to get money. But very often poor people become blind and do not think that losing is the most likely scenario, and there are much fewer winners. Usually they want to bet everything they have, which will make their situation even worse, but you need to understand that you do not need to sell everything for this, it is enough to play very little and with small stakes, if you can not resist the game. The rich know how business and the game are arranged, so they most likely will not lose everything they have, although such cases also happen when excitement for them becomes above all else.

Gambling does not look at social status, as well as casinos, they don't care if the user is poor or rich as long as it can provide profits for the casino, even so, usually casinos offer various types of games and bets with various levels of betting that can be accessed by various social groups, those who are poor can play with minimal bets while those who are rich of course have a great ability to bet with large amounts, But if we think logically, actually compared to the rich, it is precisely the casino so far more targeting the poor people because of the hope of greater gambling to change their fortunes, while those who are rich, I think more inclined to spend limited money to gamble and prefer to invest to get profits.

To determine which VIP level is best for you, it's important to consider your own personal gambling style and the types of games you enjoy playing. By playing frequently and taking advantage of available bonuses, VIP members can upgrade their membership level. As a reward for your loyalty to the VIP exclusive rewards and casino you will have the option to claim more frequent exclusives and higher bonuses to enhance your fun and gaming excitement with us. Also as a VIP member you can get an insight information on upcoming season promotions and exclusive odds for sports matches. You will always be assisted by your own personal manager who can answer any questions you may have.

Theres... catering in casinos? I know about high end ones but other than that, the rest of the casinos is pretty much catered to ANYONE. Pretty sure these casinos don't advertise to any specific socioeconomic group. I've never even heard of "affordable" gambling lol.

It's ALWAYS going to be that there's more addicts in the poor than in the rich. Just the population between the two (not addicts) is pretty vast already, and that already shows the difference. Plus, addicted rich gamblers aren't really addicts. Not until they still have money. As for the luck thing, where'd the idea come from even?

And as I've said prior, only very high end stuff catered to the rich. The rest? It's pretty much for anyone and everyone imo. it's kind of like "premium" and "general" stuff, no lowend stuff really.

It has crossed my mind many times and the reason for this is because the poor are more desperate to make money from gambling than the rich.

Gambling is majorly luck-based and the way the poor lose/win is the same way the rich lose/win, switching places means nothing. The distinction between the two is that the rich is calm and not lousy like the poor and the rich who gamble are not as much as the poor.

I am not sure this exists but there will always be a class and that will be known by your account size, wagering amount and VIP status.

I don't think there is such a sharp line between rich and poor in gambling. Firstly, there are many levels of wealth. Beggars, very poor, just poor, not rich, ordinary, well-off, wealthy and so on. Here we see that the gradation is very smooth.
Secondly, each of these groups got their money in their own way. Someone put aside from their salary, someone invested successfully, someone was given money by their parents, someone received an inheritance. And depending on how you got your money, you will act differently.
Thirdly, gaming sites are very democratic, especially online. The casino does not care what your financial status is, as long as you find money to play.

Gambling addiction can happen to all people if they don't have control and will comes soon as they start the games. If they do not know when to stop but keeps playing gambling for a long time, that will be the chance for them to becomes addicted to gambling. All classes must aware from that so they must avoids the gambling addiction happen to them. If those classes change the position to play in the casino, that could still makes them become addicted to gambling.

The online casino is open for all people who wants to spend their time. So there is no casino that is only for poor or rich people because casino runs their business and wants to make profit from all classes who comes to their place.

This is the beauty of online gambling; we are all equal as we can join, as the online gambling platform cannot differentiate people joining their platform compared to offline gambling physical casinos where people can easily tell your status by the car you're driving and the watch you're wearing.
On online gambling, your qualification is based on your age and location, and of course you agree to the casinos' terms, and the only gap is our level at the casino; it will not judge based on your status to the society, which is why people are embracing online casinos now.

Yes this has actually crossed my mind on several occasions and I consider it that because most poor gamblers are there for the sake of making money or making a living of gambling meanwhile the rich just came to have fun and once the feel that fulfillment of fun, they leave without any attachments to the game they did engaged in but for the poor they are hoping to making a leaving of it so the addictive tendencies becomes innate from the onset, except they subject it to control, but this doesn't means some rich gamblers don't get addicted or doesn't have the addictive tendencies it's just a matter of predominance with the poor.

This is just an assumption, and I haven't seen such kind of discriminated service being offered. Casinos are just a place where anyone above a specific age limit based on the country is allowed to gamble. This is what is possible, whereas it is impossible to find socioeconomic-based opportunity in gambling. Online gambling platforms function all around the world, and no gambling platform is being developed for the purpose of a specific community of people.

Location differ and it doesn’t have anything to do with the casino so in summary every casino is equal for every standard seeing the aim is to bet and win nothing else. If the casino is located at a luxurious apartment it’s common seeing wealthy gamblers although low budget gamblers can also visit and gamble. It’s said poor gamblers are likely to be addicted quickly compared to wealthy gamblers no doubt also at some point I disagree, gamblers only get attracted to gambling whenever they win consistent or lose it’s either they’re forced to play more not minding the amount they have or how wealthy they are. I had same thought concerning this not until I came across a wealthy gambler battling with addiction, it’s normal but, how we react to lose or win matters and it plays a big role while gambling.

Honestly I don't see any reasons why such inequality will be built between the rich snd the poor and it sure doesn't make alot of sense to me, just as you find different category of people together in a company, so therefore it should be applicable in other aspects or curricular activities like watching of matches in match halls and gambling centers as well. There shouldn't be any discrimination.

Though, there have been some examples as well of people who could be considered to be rich and they have also suffered from addiction to gambling or compulsive gambling. While it is true the poor are more vulnerable to fall prey of those addictions because of desperation...
There is a saying which goes: "those who have much, will want to have even more", it is the nature of greed; one can feel greed whether one is rich or poor, it does not matter one's status within society. So besides entertainment, there will be rich people who may have lost their path and believe gambling to be a good way to increase their fortune as fast as possible, that is specially prevalent with the so-called "new rich", people who did not actually work hard to get all the money they have, but rather inherited all of it.
Rich people are also human beings, so there could be some situations in which they also feel desperation and resort to gambling for some reason, instead of opting to get the advice of a money manager of financial advisor.

There is no disunity in gambling and we should therefore not create a room for people who are gambling base on the understanding of what they want to play, their financial capacity as well as the the risk they are liable to take, not that they will have to make a gambling decision base on the status they hold or their class being a rich gambler or a poor one.

First to start with I don't think or haven't seen any gambling site that is been specified to be for a particular set of people and any site that set this kind of thing is not ready to have customers or make progress in their company because there are some rich people who don't actually gamble and there are also poor people who don't like gambling too so specifying this will be pointless and needless, anyone who's interested whether rich or poor should go ahead and gamble.

However, addiction in gambling varies with individual mindset and interest towards gambling and just like I said earlier there are rich and poor people that don't like gambling but the reason why it is seen today that it's poor people that gamble the most it's because we see them as people that do not have money and are curious, interested and desperate to have it perhaps it may be true but I don't completely agree with that.

There could be some differences from how a rich man gambles to how the poor man gambles as well, also, there could be preferences that might to begiven to the rich as against the poor, both online and in physical casinos, you cant imagine situations whereby a rich man was able to buy more VIP slots and the poor could, same way the rich make huge depots and bet with huge amount of money, but yet the poor couldn't afford to all these both online and in physical gambling casino, but either of the two does not affect how the person is going to make win or loss the game he is going form.

I agree on the fact that gambling addiction is common among those that are poor more than those that are rich. This is because These category of people are constantly looking for an easy way to be wealthy. The poor people get addicted to gambling more than those are rich, they get obsessed with this because they trying to get rich by gambling. The rich people on the other hand gamble for entertainment only and they don't get affected by this lifestyle negatively. I don't think it's advisable for the poor man to gamble, it would make them desperate.

How would casino operators know that who is playing is the one they are targeting? Do they need to do KYC on their rich client in their mansion or poor users living in a small room?
Casinos cater to everybody as long as you are of age and not living in a restricted area. Casinos are profit-based platforms; if you have money, you can play, and if they cater for specific people, they will likely lose profit because gamblers don't like people who discriminate. We all deserve to gamble if we have the means.

As much as there are rich gamblers in a traditional casino, but mostly are the middle class and lower class. That goes the same for online casinos. In fact, equality is more observed in online compared to offline or physical casinos. They won't see you in person nor create remarks on your amount of betting,  so they will treat all their users/gamblers equally. That's also their strategy to gain more players and make more money with them.

Online casinos are the same = Poor and rich can play.

There is no Rich vs Poor comparison, except in traditional casinos there may be a slight difference.

An example where you go to a famous physical casino with a red style you bring $10K would not be enough because most people gamble with a lot of money.

It may be different if you play in a casino that is in another circle, although there is no disclaimer these casinos are specialized for the middle to lower class.

Everyone can get addicted wether rich or poor and it's only when you have self control and discipline that you can gamble responsible. This is because web en the rich gamble excessively, despite that they are not chasing profit and they will become addicts.

Gambling and drugs are two vices that can make a wealthy man go broke if he over do it. However, a poor man doesn't have any means to recover from hhis losses but a rich man can through his business. Online casino is open to all both rich and poor.

This casinos are open for business and for a business minded person when it comes to big players VIP treatment is inevitable so as to keep them coming. A rich gambler can make a major stake with a huge amount and still feels he hasn't stacked enough. But for a gambler the stakes are within their means and their expectations are always high and outrageous.Imagine one staking as low as $5 with the expectations to win between $10k - $100k. Casino knows that for a poor gambler they will always come around for another trial often but for the rich player they c an take their games else where if they are are not well recognised

Companies being casino or not are always interested in making profits, these companies are owned by individuals and shareholders who want to make profits in their businesses. If gambling and losing will guarantee profit to the business person, why not wish that a gambler loses... Lol... But I know that's not really the game. All standard gambling sites and companies are expected to the neutral which is what guarantees the players to play without the fear of favour or scam.

Before you engage in gambling, you need to ascertain the capacity of the platform and the genuineness of their services.

Gambling addiction is not about financial conditions, but addiction is about the psychology of each gambler.
Rich gamblers who do not have a big mentality to limit their gambling, they will continue to gamble with the aim of having fun without realizing that they are addicted.

Gambling is all about fun and luck. There is no guarantee that when a poor gambler swaps places with a rich gambler he will get more luck, but sometimes it will end badly. Because poor gamblers will be more confident when they have a big budget.

If you are looking for a gambling site that separates between rich and poor gamblers, I will answer no. But if you realize, actually all gambling sites here are fairer. Because they provide different facilities in 1 site. Like VIP facilities that usually provide many benefits for rich gamblers and ordinary facilities that can be enjoyed by ordinary gamblers.

Maybe we can consider ourselves rich simply because we have the capability to gamble. Poor people don’t have the money to gamble since they’re already struggling financially. So, online casinos would naturally assume that anyone who visits and plays is "rich" in some way.

After all, what they’re really after is the volume of gamblers, as that’s what brings them profit. Volume is far more important than high rollers because it provides casinos with a consistent income.

If we accept the fact that a certain percentage of people suffer from gambling addiction, then undoubtedly among these people the number of poor will be greater than the number of rich. Just because there are more poor people than rich people. Therefore, gambling addiction arises out of connection with the welfare of the player.
As for the second and third questions, their very formulation already seems strange. Casinos for the poor and the rich work according to the same algorithms. Online casinos are open to all players, whereas offline, of course, a homeless person will not be allowed into the casino. So the answers to both are negative.

I don’t know about physical casinos, but yes, this differentiation of rich and poor doesn’t exist in online casinos. Like how will the casinos know about your personal life until and unless you share about it? But yes, some casinos do keep track of their player’s gambling habits. For this they treat high roller players very specially. They provide this VIP status to them and give them attractive bonuses to deposit more. Other than this, I haven’t seen any other sort of discrimination.

I don't think there will be any difference for both of people from the gambler group, if they play online then everything is the same and the only difference is about the capital used or the VIP level of each individual gambling site account, no gambling site differentiates between rich and poor people.
Basically, gambling sites will serve all their customers well, they even help with the best service when the account with low betting volume, but I curious why you are trying to compare and have perception of all this?

Poor people may be more likely to get addicted because they have a different concept when gambling, they consider it as a way to make money and maybe get them out of poverty so they will continue to pursue it, unlike rich people who are just for fun.


Rich or poor will not change the results of gambling.


For offline casinos there may be but for online casinos it is the same thing because from the minimum deposit applied it can be judged this casino is for anyone but for casinos of course anyone can play as long as they meet their minimum deposit.

Online gambling platforms are like the equalizer. They cater to both high-rollers and small time gamblers. Of course, there are certain perks and privileges exclusively provided to big-time bettors, but the platforms themselves are shared by those who bet by the thousands and those who bet by a few dollars.

In the brick-and-mortar scene, however, the world of the rich gamblers isn't penetrable by poor gamblers. The luxurious resorts and casinos of the crazy rich have limits poor bettors simply can't afford.

I mean for the most part what I see, there really isn't much separation.  Sure at certain casinos I'll see curtain areas for the "high rollers" but money is money and that like it no matter who's pocket is came out of. 

I guess your post is also a tad confusing as I'm not 100% I know what you're asking or stating here so I'm just "stating what I've come to see when it comes to gambling.  Either way I think it makes the most sense to cater to both groups, I wouldn't want income from just one sector, cutting out the other entirely.

Previously I did not know this was discussing online or physical gambling, but for an online type of gambling I think there is no class difference determined by the poor and rich players. For those who have a lot of money or are rich and those who are poor, it's the same if you do online gambling there is no difference or special behavior from the casino itself, but with physical casinos I think there is a difference in place for lower middle class players and those who are rich. In addition, there is no clear certainty that poor people will be more dominant for addiction because if the problem of addiction is more directed at each of their mindsets, now with those who are rich but they misunderstand gambling and fail to control themselves then addiction can occur as well as people who are lower middle class.

Based on how I observed, I don't think that's appropriate to have that classes for poor people to learn gambling because they've learned it through experience. However, poor or rich people did gambling regardless on their socio economic status ever since the day I've became an adult gambling existence has no descrimination.
Gambling will always served to people who got money for their betting needs despite winning chances are low at their end.

Addiction doesn’t discriminate whether you’re a poor gambler or a rich gambler as long as you’re not following the laid down guidelines or precautions you’re bound to be addicted to gambling. I’m sure we all have read an article or two about rich people that got addicted to gambling and later it ruined their lives.


Ask yourself op, does luck depend on the amount that I’m using to gamble? If “yes” then you’ve gotten your answer and if you think it’s “no” then you’ve gotten have your answer too.


The only one that comes to my mind are those that have insanely high minimum deposit rates - so those ones could be classify as casinos that are looking for rich high rollers - they actually don’t really care much about those low rollers so they set their rates high to prevent them from using the site.

But if you can afford what they are charging then you can use the site - they won’t start asking for the amount in your bank before they allow you use the site.

You're right mate, casinos don care if you're wealthy or not all they care about is the money they get from gamblers using their service, that is why they don't engage or interupt your sessions with them even if their are getting addicted or gambling irresponsibly. Well from the time I started gambling to this very moment, I've heard casinos gifting special awards to some consistent gambler from a well to do family.  Casinos can't tell for sure how wealthy a gambler is irrespective of the amount they put in, because a gambling addiction can go as far as borrowing or selling some family or stolen property in other to fuel his urge for gambling, while a rich dude could be gambling responsible with just some few bucks.

I don't think so; I just believe that all gamblers have equal chances irrespective of how and where they gamble. It's not about the rich having a higher chance of winning or as if there is a special something prepared for the rich people that the poor don't enjoy that makes them lose more than the rich.

Unless that casino is not yet ready to make money, if not, why will they just create a casino just for the rich or poor when they don't know the exact people that will want to use the casino? The only time I can say there is a casino for the rich is to those that have a higher deposit limit, like $50-$100 above, because not everyone can afford such an amount for gambling.

Addiction doesn't care about your socioeconomic group. Rich and poor get addicted equally, because it's about brain chemistry, not money. Rich people just might gamble with bigger safety net.

I don't know why would you think that poor people would get luckier in high end centers. What's your reasoning behind that? Why would "luck" increase? Wouldn't they already been lucky just by having a change of trading places and having more money to gamble in the first place? I am assuming that you mean that they also would have more money to gamble, as you need to pay more money just to start in some tables.

Most places in the world, gap between those socioeconomic classes is just too high in order them to mingle with each other. It's not just about casinos. It's different restaurants, different bars, different coffeeshops and different hotels. Just like they live in different areas.

what a way to begin some groundless assertions... bahahahahaha!!
Just like asking a question like - who breaths the most air in a room when couples are asleep? I mean, how do you know this already? People don't come out to explain whatever they do behind closed doors with their gadgets.. Addiction isn't some kind of spirit that can be consulted and paid/bribed to not get hold of a person that puts all their energy into gambling. It lies in your brain - whatever you do passionately will always become a part of you with time.... That's it!

What are you trying to say in essence? That the former doesn't gamble on casinos under the same regulatory body? Or you think the real life segregation plays a role like the major factor of consideration for who wins more and who loses? Hmmm, to be honest, this post is wack and I'd advice that you take time in asking questions on delicate topics like this one.

Before I respond, I would just like to remind you of a fact that everyone should be well aware of... that poorer communities are generally more vulnerable to gambling, and so when gambling is accessible and available to any social class, it can offer a tempting escape from the hardships of daily life that often only ends up leading people to more devastating consequences.

Why do I say this? Because low-income players may see gambling as an opportunity to change their fortunes, often falling into a spiral of debt and addiction. On the other hand, rich players, although not immune to addiction, see gambling more as entertainment and will always be better off financially avoiding or even mitigating some of the more extreme consequences of gambling.


About this...

The idea of ​​changing gambling locations between classes is interesting, but I believe that a mere change of environment is not significant in changing the fortunes of players. I think this would be a bad thing because low-income players in high-end environments may face unique challenges, including feelings of inadequacy or the pressure to spend beyond their means to try to fit in. Similarly, wealthy players in more modest environments may feel turned off by what they perceive as inferior gaming options.

There’s a saying that casinos love losers and hate winners, and that’s true as they don’t care whether you’re rich or poor in real life. What matters to them is the money you spend. A business is a business; it doesn’t operate on emotions, just a system designed to beat us in the long run so they can keep growing thanks to us. 

I’m talking about online gambling here, but if we’re talking about physical casinos, it’s easy to spot the rich gamblers as they’re usually at the high-rollers table.

Online casinos may never know either if you are rich or poor as it's actually out of their context to compare people. However, if you have been betting for long in their casino, maybe they could already tell that you're from a well-off family or not, but casinos really don't care. All they care is the money that enters their casino. If you have a lot of funds to bet, then they would be very happy to serve you.There's no comparison actually despite of your financial or social status.

The rich gamble more than the poor , the poor gamble in very few quantity of money but the rich gamble in large quantity of money. The money the poor have, they have to divide it between their upkeep and then what they have left, they can use for gambling but the rich gamble as much as they can. They have lots of money therefore the amounts that they are wagering are not that important to them but they just want to have fun. When it comes to the way the rich spend money, they spend more for fun than you think they spend wastefully. What you consider wasteful, is their own way of having fun. There is going to be some casinos specifically created for the wealthy people in the society just as we have other things created specifically for some people with a certain financial class.

Online casinos do not chose their customers. Everyone is welcome to play as long as you follow their rules and you have sufficient amount prepare for betting. They will be delighted to welcome all gamblers regardless of its social status. The more players who will participate in their games or bonuses offer, the higher their revenue the casino will achieve. That's how business works, that's how casinos should be.

That is actually true, as when you play online, there's no room for high rollers and small time players. You are betting all the same. Unlike with physical casinos, they already know which area are for high rollers and not. Also, you would be ashamed of yourself betting a buck on the table if you are inside the physical casino. Whereas, in online, it doesn't matter whether you bet in pennies as long as the game is allowing you to do so.

A hundred percent true. Gambling casinos permit access to all to the normal room except the VIP sections where a specific set of men of calibers are only allowed in there. Most times it's either a casino club member only that should be allowed or members of a gang. While regular times it is because of the nature of games those persons would participate in there which demands high-status gamblers with lots of funds to gamble. Money won or lost in the inner/VIP rooms is very huge the poor can't afford it, so they are not allowed in there.

When gambling in a physical casino we can hardly differentiate between the poor and the rich since everyone is in one place. We can't judge based on physical appearance, body physique, or how people speak. Anyone would wear shabby clothes but have more than enough to gamble with. So, the poor and the rich gambling in the same environment does not affect any of them in terms of winning and losing.

You seem to make your first assumption without taking into account there are tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds of thousands, of "poor" gamblers for every rich whale. That is just the natural distribution of wealth that we see in wider society, so you're bound to see many more poorer gamblers. However there is also basic education and intelligent in the equation, this is not meant to insult - but it's simply a fact, that richer people have often received a high quality education, stayed in the system longer, so are less vulnerable to the psychology or basic maths that makes casinos rich. You won't necessarily see rich people in any venue, as they'll be in private rooms, often subject to the same odds but because there is a much higher profit from their play, they'll often get massive amounts of extra perks and freedom from a casino.

Crypto casinos set veeery large limits to how much you can bet with no checks being performed at all.

So I'd say there's no differentiation in terms of who's rich and who's poor in a crypto casino. 0.01$ bets are on the same game with $1m bets.

So... What's the difference online then? If you want to simulate a physical casino feel, the live casino providers do the same tactic as a physical casino and have different rooms for large players. But I'd say the physical casino is better in every aspect for this. Because the rules in casino games like cards are always worse online. But if you're after rakeback etc then ok online also had some advantages for larger players.

I have been aware for many years that gambling addiction is more present in the poor than in the rich. This is because poor people tend to gamble to win money to have a better life and unfortunately when they lose they chase their losses and this leads them to addiction. While poor people gamble for fun and have many other things to enjoy in the real world, that is why there are few rich people who are addicted to gambling.


unfortunately the poorest people would not be luckier


In my opinion it doesn't exist

Yes, gambling addiction seems more prevalent among the poor, and they're common targets for some psychological things that will attract you. For people struggling in money, gambling can seem like a shortcut to escaping poverty, even though the odds are against them or against all the players of gambling platforms.

In the case of people who have more money, they often gamble on amounts that would not make any problem to them. Since someone who feels they need to chase the win again is generally considered addicted, people with a relatively lower standard of living can suffer from this gambling addiction.

There are no gambling centers that expressly state that this is for the rich or for the poor. Gambling centers are open to everyone—gender, religion, economic status. What they are opposed to are unruly behaviours that disrupt the flow of business and disturb the other customers. A poor fellow who is employed will not have the time to engage in gambling that will lead to addiction, just as the rich who are busy buiding their next companies and making new business friends and connections.

Once everything is right even the poor who are addicted to gambling will get off it. Compared to the rich they will have had the resources the network of friends that connects them to life-changing, world-impacting opportunities. They will no longer need to use gambling to escape their reality because they, the poor people as rich people, will be living the lives they dreamed of even if it is not 100%, it will have the comfort that is lacking in their poor background.

Yes, that is because there is no pressure to the rich to win those bets because they can lose their money easily and however they want. Whilst the poor, they have to make each of their bets win from time to time but that's close to impossible.

I don't think so, there's no definition of luck in there even if the rich and the poor swap places.

Gambling is a business and they don't mind whoever is gambling with them. As long as their customer has got money, they're welcome. But I think they make priority for the rich.

I don't think there's any such thing as socioeconomic classes for online gambling sites. What I think there is, it's vip and different levels at which these gamblers must have been active in these casino for very long time so they get good offers or bonus just so they can remain in that casino. The situation you described is more common in physical casino. Where you get to see different playing rooms for different class of people. The rich folks loves to play with the rich folks in a different room away from the general casino. But then there's literally no difference when it comes to addiction. Both the rich and poor get addicted. Only that the rich folks can loss any amount of money prior to how rich they are and not even glitch in their account.

Only the stakes on the table is different and everything is same except the ambience I guess but the important thing is the approach which will remain same irrespective of the amount involved. So even if the players switch their places still it's not going to bring any major changes in their winning percentage because always luck that matters when it comes to Gambling.

Regarding the online Gambling having different features for the rich and poor it's simply not there, everyone can register and gamble which is why the online gambling took off in the first place.

it's not just because it crossed my mind, it is really happening. I've read articles pointing out that gambling addiction is more prevalent in poorer areas and from what I remember the usual reason is that there is more financial desperation in poorer areas and gambling can provide people the chance to win a sizable amount of money.

luck doesn't change whether you are poor or not, the difference between them is how much and how long they can gamble without worrying about their finance.

I am not sure but there probably is.

All classes of people are prone to gambling addiction. It is common to generalize that the poor are more exposed to gambling addiction because they might see it as a fast means to come out of poverty. But even the rich become addicts if they refuse to control their gambling habits.

Gambling is a game of luck. There are true life stories where some poor gamblers win big. Gamblers are basically a game of luck. Some people buy lottery tickets from the roadside and win jackpots. The location of bet centres contributes little or nothing to the chance of winning.

I have not seen any online or crypto gambling site that is reserved for the poor or the rich. All of them are open to all classes people that is why their minimum deposit is always a small sum.

So far and as I know about gambling, it's open for everyone to access provided you have the funds to deposit online to gamble you will definitely do that, but you can't gambling or place any bet without funding your account, therefore here comes to limitations as poor person who doesn't have any money wouldn't gamble.

Now about the rich, they gamble with intense to have fun and enjoy their lives while they gamble, but the poor people who are gambling put much interest to the amount they would win or even focusing their entire problems to gambling thinking they would hit luck one day.

Yes, I believe gambling addiction is common among the poor than the rich. This is because, the poor need money and they would want to win at all cost. To the rich, even if they also want to win, gambling is just an activity for fun to them. No matter the losses they might get, they'll definitely not feel the impact of such loss they way a poor gambler would. If anyone is going to say there is no difference between these two class of people,  that's not true.

I don't think anything about luck is going to change. The only thing that would change is that alot of the poor people will suddenly become uninterested in gambling since they now have money. Their motive for gambling will change.

I don't know about this, will also love to know.

In the case of my country the difference between gaming centers for gambling for both the poor and the rich are very market.
Here the poor are left to gamble and betting in centers by the side road where they are supposed just to place a bet quickly and move on quickly. there are not further accomodations, just some air conditioning, some seats and a tv screen for people to watch the most important matches.
On the other hand, people who have much more to gamble and have media of transportation they have access to betting sites which have several tv screens in full HD, with comfortable sofas and even tables for people who wish to have a drink while watching their football match. In theory, the main difference between betting money in each one of those establishment is the access of liquidity and the amount of money the betting operator can handle at the same time from bettors.

I see many betting places while I walk through my neighborhood and they are nothing buy kioks, while betting places for the wealthy in my country are more like mini resorts for people to spend as much time as possible while waiting for results.

I would say online casinos is accessible to all, as it can widely cater both the rich and the poor customers. While there could be different types of casinos, high-stakes for rich ones, mid-range casinos, and low-stakes or casino for the masses, when it comes to online casinos, everyone is free to play as long as there is secure internet connection and just enjoy playing even at the comfort of your home.

Gambling addiction is more present and predominant depend on the person whether they are from the poorer class of people or the rich. The key important thing to prevent gambling addiction is having good and strong self control, discipline, and other things needed.

If those poorer class or rich people don't have that, they will become addicted to gambling. No need to wait they will becomes addicted to gambling.

If poorer trade places with the richer people and gamble, they will not guarantee to get luckier than before. That will also happen to rich people. Luck will comes to the right and deserve person and not because of his class of life so luck can comes to the poorer or rich people.

As far as I know, online casino available for all people who wants to gamble and not because of his status class. So poorer or rich class can comes to that casino and playing gambling together. Both will have the same chance to get the luck and win the money.

I don’t think there’s much difference between poor people and rich people. Addiction is the same, and it is just the amount you would probably wager, but the ending would be the same way you would lose money.

If that land-based casino is as good as you say it is, I don’t think there would be discrimination. There should be lower limits in casinos like that, and that could be found somewhere there because there should be one.

Thinking about where you switch places, I don’t believe it is necessary to think about it because that’s never going to happen, and trying to cope with how you are dealing with addiction probably says a lot with that one thing to exchange. However, it’s still the same: you are gambling, so another thing for the unnecessary stuff.

Examples of gambling centers for the poor:


This is illegal gambling available in basements, pubs/bars, snack bars in general. Police is constantly seeking for those machines and seizing them, but in every cases, that is where poor gamblers can play physically. These places are nasty, dirty and airless. Totally discouraged and harmful to the health. It's not that popular anymore, though, due to online gambling getting hugely trendy nowadays.

I won't share examples of gambling centers for the wealthy gamblers, because those are pretty common and we have seen such places lots of times on the movies and postcards of Las Vegas, Macau, maritime cruises and so on...

I don't think there's anything like that on the online casino but casinos do have the different VIP levels which is usually determined based on the wagering amount of the player.

For your question, I don't think that if the poor gamblers are permitted to gamble in the same place that the rich player are gambling it will give them any chance to win because it's just the same thing, no gambler is given the top priority to win more than th other, whether poor or rich, the results depends on luck.

The rich leave in urban centers and the poor are left to live in a rural centers because they cannot afford the high cost of living in the urban centers. The luck which you speak off doesn't concern itself with whether the individuals identity is that of a poor person or a rich person.

A casino is there to make money and they would even be happier operating in the urban centers where the rich live because most of the rich people bet a alot amount of money compared to poor people. If you take a statistics of those on the loyalty list of casinos you would see that there are more rich people than poor people.

Yes, it's most present on the poor side. Actually, I feel like it is their target customer. Why? They are the ones who are hoping for great profits and so they gamble their money. While the rich don't really need that. They can gamble but mostly for fun only.
But, I don't think there is a division between a poor gambler and a rich one when it comes to gambling. They offer the same service but the rich will just gain the upper hand because those who deposit more will have more bonuses too and that comes with VIP passes and other stuffs that requires wagering and deposit requirement for a gambler to achieve.

i don’t think so, in fact they might actually spend more imo haha the environment that is set for the rich in casinos are meant to be enjoyable and make the players feel cared for and valued and that’s something people from the poorer class have not experienced a lot in their lives and would enjoy having that
not that i know of

but that’s the beauty of online casinos compared to physical ones there’s less restrictions based on socioeconomic status and anyone can sign up and start playing to their heart’s content

even if there was any website specifically made for rich gamblers, it’s probably connected to a physical casino that is high-end and luxurious otherwise i don’t know any

Yes, I think there has been some discussion about that here in the forum before already. It’s not that the poor are more inclined to get addicted in gambling as many rich people also end up getting addicted but since they have less money, the aftermath of said addiction is noticed more compared to the wealthy ones who are addicted but are still doing well because… they are rich.

No. Luck is luck. Either you have it or not. Your environment doesn’t have any effect on that.

The poor gambler most probably has gained more experience in the poor situation and if he trades places with the rich, he might thrive especially if they play in the offline casinos. Poor gamblers have learned more than just developing strategies but they have the motivation. If given the chance they might be able to turn a small amount to bigger.

Have you seen the Titanic movie Leonardo di Caprio (Jack) won his Titanic ticket by gambling with a few guys. He has the motivation to go places that he risked a large sum.  

I don't have statistics on this, but I can see that there are many more betting shops in poor neighbourhoods than in rich neighbourhoods. I also know that a lot more lotteries are bought in poor districts.


There is no such thing, there are no betting sites for the rich as opposed to the poor, everyone can enter them.


No, and it has already been answered. There are no separate betting sites, either online or in person, divided into rich and poor. There are VIP systems and things like that.

I think it is better that you lock the thread yourself without it getting to many pages.

The rich are not gambling to make money because they have already made money but the poor is gambling to gain more more to their wallets and pockets. So wit that pursue of wealth from.the poor masses they dive into gambling and flood the industry and you know why they are flooding the industry because probably someone has won big amount in his compound or his location and that has motivated him to join gambling so he can also win big.

The more people win gambling the more people join and you we know that the poor people are more that the rich people and the force people are using to become rich in the society is high. But op I strongly believed that you can't distinguish the rich and the poor in the gambling sites. Because there is no Information for that to separate them. Who is poor in the site is unknown and who is rich is unknown. Poor gamblers lose and win and rich gamblers lose and win.

The only thing sure from your comparison is that the poor people are of course more addicted as poor people are stupid at a very high level of stupidity, don't get me wrong even I sometimes am that high level of stupid and this means that poor people play to win or to get more money in order to try and change their status through gambling, that is the most idiotic choice anyone on earth can make, there is no more stupid choice than this, in fact I don't know any people (except those who have hit lotteries, can be counted with the fingers of one hand during world history) that have changed their status through gambling, based on this I think it is plain stupid to do any exchange of places whatsoever as the difference is in the mentality, rich people, at least the majority of them as there are also rich people addicted play for fun while the majority of poor people to win money and in gambling over the long term you can never be a winner.

There is this difference in online gambling? I have serious doubt on this. And I think if any even minimum, this is just going to disappear.
At least online this difference is offered just on some games (like the live games) that allows only high bets.
In real life there is this difference since some of the gambling place will just not accept players with a certain dress code.

I don't think there are any, all gambling sites are the same, they don't differentiate between the rich and the poor, because no one knows the people who play gambling, betting big doesn't mean that the person is rich
I just don't know if in the future there will be a site like you mean

You can't read on any casinos that they only cater to rich or poor people; the only restriction is the location. Because of compliance, gamblers operators don't care if you're rich or poor; as long as you have the money and you want to play and enjoy, they will entertain you, They never discriminate against people; if they do, they will get bad feedback.

You could create an argument for this reasoning, but I don't think it will stand because both the rich and the poor face the same problem of addiction.

The rich can get addicted to gambling simply because they have enough money to fund their gambling lifestyle, while the poor can become addicted to gambling not because of a lot of money that they have but because of a lot of money that they wish to have and win from gambling; it can both lead to addiction.

Yes, it has
 I wrote extensively on this in one of the threads here. There are more low income earners who are addicted to gambling than their high income earning counterparts. Low income earners need more money and gamble to for the money. Those who earn high gamble for the network, fun, and entertainment.

I don't understand this question. If  a poor person will still be gamble unless their demography changes.

I don't think so. That would be discrimination which is highly frowned upon. Although I know in Monaco, it is not like discrimination but there are dress codes that must be obeyed to gain entrance into the casino. If a poor person doesn't meet up with the standards then they have to find an alternative that suits them.

The only difference is services.

If you gamble on ordinary gambling centers or not in VIP, you're treated either bad or normal, nothing special.

But, when you gamble on luxury gambling centers or you're a VIP player, they will treat you like a king and offer many beverages for you.

There's no difference with the games and the algorithm between different gambling centers, as long as you gamble on the same machine, the result would be same.

Both the rich and poor can be addicted to gambling but from researches, poor people are more susceptible to gambling addiction than rich people.

No

There is none that I know of. What online gambling site target is traffic, irrespective of the people being poor, average or rich.

I have never been in VIP room or at the VIP table in any gambling game, but the difference between rich and regular (I think poor is not the proper word to describe low bet games) is the level of casino trust towards gambler. At the regular tables, gambler plays only with money he has with him at the moment. For VIP casinos can open credit lines, dealers would accept unusual bets, expensive watch for example. Everything else I suppose (and it should be) the same. I dont think that regular and rich gamblers should be given radically different service at casinos.

This is well known phenomenon actually. It is because many poor people think of getting rich from gambling and that idea keeps them coming back to the casino no matter how much they lose in the long run. They always think they’ll win eventually and make a home run but that day never comes.

The rich on the other hand are already rich and they don’t have such silly dreams. That’s why they have more self control over and don’t take too much risk. They play only to pass the time and have fun. That is more important to them than the game itself.

I only want to answer this question.

None, Online gambling site is dedicated for everyone as in literally since they don’t have any physical locations and minimum deposit is too low for poor to enjoy all their games compared to IRL casino that sometimes requires a certain amount of show money before you can enter the casino premises.

The best proof that online doesn’t have different socioeconomic classes is their VIP program since they even rewards a user even with small wager a benefits as VIP although it’s small but it’s good already for having in contrary to not having it.

This comparison had never occurred to me, as I believe that as gamblers, we take pride in wanting equality. Online casinos serve anyone; if you have the bet, you are always welcome regardless of your financial status or where your money comes from. The moment you decide to gamble, you already believe in yourself that you are responsible enough to take the risk and manage it.

I really don't understand why some would think that gambling makes the life of the poor harder when, in reality, being irresponsible in gambling is the main reason. If you call yourself poor, then you don't have the right to gamble as you can't afford it. Casinos don't have a system to separate the poor and the rich and only serve the rich, as we are using the same money.

There are so many gambling places and online sites these days that cater for the different socioeconomic groups of which includes the poor and the rich in our society.
Now while there is the presence of high end gambling centres for the rich and in the best part of town, there's also the affordable gambling options for poorer gamblers or for those with lower gambling budget.

*In trying to create a comparison between how the rich gamble versus how the poor gamble, has it ever crossed your minds that perhaps gambling addiction is more present and predominant for the poorer class of people in the society as opposed to the rich gamblers in the society?

*Also, do you think that if the poorer class of gamblers were to trade places with the richer folks and gamble at the high end centers, they would get luckier than they would while gambling at the affordable places?

*Are there online gambling sites that cater for the different socioeconomic classes of the society, that is, if there is anything like rich people online gambling sites or poor people online gambling sites currently existing?

Your opinion is valid!
