Many gamblers are already doing charity, however small, winning or losing, and I have friends doing that, but it's different when doing it for content just to attract more views, and those views will convert to profit; the channel is all about gambling content so I'm sure that will not going to be the last video of its kind.

You know, when you have followers, you have to feed them with new concepts and new content so they will continue to like and play those videos even if it's 30 minutes or more long.

I watched a YouTube video where the father and son had a slot betting competition. The rule was simple- the individual with the biggest bonus wins while the individual with the smallest bonus will have to donate all of it to their favorite charity which the family has been involved in. I liked the idea gambling and donating to charity for a good cause. I have hardly heard of gamblers doing something exactly like this. Do you think this is the kind of competition you will like to get involved in knowing that even your smallest bonus wins will all be given to charity and you'll have nothing left?
It is fine as long as it is okay with both parties since as I understood it, it is part of the competition or condition and for sure they both agreed to it. Of course it will always be a good thing to donate especially to rightful charities regardless if it is from gambling profit or other sources. But if this is leading to the question whether it is okay to make this a requirement then that is where problem may arise. Not all people are into charities and donations. Also, in the first plaace, it should at least be done with initiative. Those who wouldn't be okaay with doing so have their own reasons and we should respect it given that it is their money. Allow them to decide whether to donate or not unless it is agreed upon as part of the game.

It's like you said, not too many gamblers will do such a thing. Maybe the rich one. Most gamblers are gambling trying to make a fortune out of those bonuses and I don't think they will just give it out. Honestly, it might become the other way around, where they will gamble more to make more fortune.

I salute those two for doing such a thing but let's face it, not everyone will do it. They might even say it's a waste of money because they don't know if it will really be spent on charity. I won't wash my hands and say I'd do such a thing too because I won't. I am not in a position where I could just give out money while my family is hungry. As I said, this could be done by the rich people who have nothing else to do with their money.
I am sure this family is a rich people because they are youtubers and according to their youtube channel this family is quite often to share their activities while visiting the particular casinos and playing slots game with their family and i can see it that they have millions of views in their videos which automatically they can earn a lot of money from that so i am sure donate a few thousand dollars is not a big deal for them

Indeed i liked their concept because they have different way how to celebrate father day and this is positive step which other gamblers should be following them because this has rarely happened before but it's a bit disappointing that the family didn't show the proof that they actually donated their money in this video

Gamblers usually donate money to charity when they pray to win a jackpot and luckily win it. To be fair, instead of purely donating money to charity companies, I prefer to give money to a poor person myself. Sometimes I buy them a drink, food and rarely - clothes. I amn't a gambler but I trade sometimes and when my profit exceeds what I was expecting, I use the surplus to make some people happy for a day.

It's a good deed to donate your money to a charity, but actually even you didn't donate it, the casino high likely will give it to charity because they need to spend some money for social responsibility (although only regulated casinos did this).

For now I will not do it, but if I'm rich and there's nothing I want to achieve again in my life, I will do it.
That's true, casinos often donate money to charity and do some other good things that benefit society but sadly many people don't pay attention to that side of them.

I'm not the type of gambler who wants to participate in things like that, I just gamble and enjoy it, whether I lose or win, it doesn't matter to me. I wouldn't want to donate my betting money to other people, not because I'm greedy or don't have a heart, but I think that if I want to donate I would prefer to donate the money I earn from my job, not the money from gambling, because in my opinion it's just It's just unethical, yeah other people might think that I'm a hypocrite but I still stand by that position.
That's right. I like the style you are showing there. This should everybody treat gambling, not that they expect other things from it. I'm sure you guys know what I'm referring here. It's okay if the thing that they want can come from them easily but nope it doesn't and the worse is that it can make them rage and be completely negative afterwards.

I tend to disagree with your opinion when you say that donating money that came from gambling bonus is unethical. What about the wins that we get there? It should also be unethical then but nah. The word unethical will only fit if your withdrawal have came from exploits and other abusive behaviours.

This is the first time I have watched this. It's a new concept, and why not if it involves a charity and you did it with your family, It feels good to do this.

I'm checking the views. It's on its way to 500k views, and it's only been a month. The son promises to donate $4000, but will he really donate the money, or is it just for the content?
Here in our country, people are inventing content for their channels to make money; next time, they should upload a certificate of donation.

The only skeptical on this kind of content is they never show that they really donated the said amount to the charity at the end of the video. They just cash out the check and end the video saying they will donate the profit they made.

They do mention on the video about boosting the father channel with the video that makes me think this is one of the video which the influencer nowadays keep doing for the monetary purposes only. It’s will be satisfying if they will include the charity donation receipt using the amount they won to conclude their challenge.

this is the little way of spicing up things for a good cause most expecially when relating with someone that might not want to give things out willingly without attaching a clause. We've done something like that where we just bet on a novelty match in our old boys gathering and whatever comes out of it is gathered and if it's not much an additional contribution added to it and used to assist out alma mater in a project that's lacking in the school. It's a smart way to get people to do things and they will easily oblige to play the game. If they win, itw to thier favour while if they lose, they wouldn't be sad after all because the proceed of the bet actually went into a meaningful thing that has left the life of the beneficiaries better that it was before.

What if both participants (father and son) are losers? It may be easier to directly donate this money to charity.

It seems to me that everything that is done on YouTube is done to increase views, and a plausible pretext under the guise of charity is carried out for the sake of monetization.

I believe that such YouTube channels should not be idealized as something disinterested and truly associated with charity.

That's what I thought when I first read the OP. Most probably (depending on the games they play, of course) one would win and the other lose. Chances of both winning are low and even in that case they would lose the smallest win. I agree with you that most content not only in Youtube but in other Social Media and the Internet in general is created with the only aim of increasing views, so chances are that their plan was profitable since the beginning no matter of the results of their bets.

-snip-

For now I will not do it, but if I'm rich and there's nothing I want to achieve again in my life, I will do it.

This is so generous Cheesy Cheesy Cheesy

I find this nonsense, tbh.

donate even small amounts to charity is always something important to do and must be always supported.
Each year I made donation of a small amount to some charity, of course these are not money come in from gambling but why not...
Well, pretty obviously that any player with gambling issue must avoid at all any similar initiative... but generally could be a nice way for doing a good action (even if this is not related to gambling).

I also donate to a charity every month, but it is independent of this nonsense. Even in my case or in the case of winning skill games it would make sense to donate a % of your net profits to the charity but in games like slots? People don't know anymore what to invent to get views on Youtube.

Well, I like the idea since it's a competition for a good cause, the challenge and excitement are real. However, for me, if you want to donate then do it because it's your own free will and not because you lose in the challenge. This might be unusual since there's a charity involve and it's a father and son competition (or bonding). However, maybe this is their way to make it more exciting knowing that there's a consequence for the one who lose the competition.


They are doing a content at the same time so they are in a win win scenario since they won the game and at the same time gain impression to their channel that possibly monetize due to the ads when I watch it.

This kind of competition is for rich since there’s no guarantee that they can both win on their turn. They are sharing a bankroll which makes this competition very risky. They are very lucky to hit a massive bonus win on their own turn because it’s very to do that with the limited spin they got due to the amount of bet they are using.

I am not that rich enough but I do encourage if they are capable of doing it, basically I am not having high hopes on charity instead I would do anything on my own or to near charity house where I can get the satisfaction of the money spent for the actual cause while internet there are lot of scammers out there in the name of charity.

I don't connect with the idea either, if you want to donate money then just go ahead and do it instead of trying your luck by betting it and give them later if it's small from other one.

I wouldn't mind at all if I knew that the amount I'm using for it is something that I can easily afford to lose, so even if I lose all the money without getting any bonus or if I win a bonus that goes to a charity, I am completely okay with it. Even if it's the other way around where the person with the highest bonus will donate their winnings to the charity, I would still not mind doing it if I'm getting the highest bonus because it's for a good cause and I believe the money that is spent for good causes isn't lost, it's money well spent.

These sort of competitions will only be conducted among people who are already fond of doing such deeds. If a person already does charity all the time, they would surely think of doing things that can increase their chances of giving more money to the charity, and this is one of those ways for them.

I would slightly change the idea of charity. There is a certain number of games played, after which a person remains in the black. It would be a good, noble act to give some of the money you win to charity. In the same way, if you are unlucky in the game for a very long time, donate some amount, because anyway, this money goes down the drain, and Lady Luck will probably not leave this good action unnoticed.

This is exactly what we meant about people gambling for fun, because judging from the scenerio which surrounds this event, it clearly shows it was a Father's Day celebration between Son and Dad, who just went to a casino to just have fun together. Because if they literally were there for the money, they definitely would have cash out the $1300 they won at the beginning of the video, but rather they continue and kept gambling more. And also nice the money was donated to charity, because I didn't actually watch the entire video, I stopped half way

This type of thing should be promoted and spread a lot more. We are seeing people who keep on gambling for just personal reasons, and people who earn just for personal reasons, basically we all live for just ourselves.

However, the more we promote charities and do more for them, I think we are going to get better results in life. Remember, just you being rich or just you living a good life will never be good for you, that would mean like being the guy with a billion dollars in mars, what can you do if there is nowhere to spend it. If you however make your community better, then even if you are just an average person, it would be like living in Asgard. This is why trying to make sure that everyone is better is the way to go.

Gambling could be used for this, I mean we are talking about something that will take a while but can happen, anything could be used to promote charities, and I am all for gambling being part of it. This could be something that will not be all that easy, we need to make sure that they know which charities how much and so forth. In this case it was father and son, so it is not a big deal, but a tournament like this would be a lot harder to convince people to join all together.
