Recently research was held by Dr Reece Bush-Evans who told that online gambling could Hide the sexuality of the LGBTQ+ people and most of these people prefer online gambling as compared to physical gambling for obvious reasons.

The more important concern for the LGBTQ+ people is that they are being treated differently in a casino which may come under harassment. Also, the study says that people at the casino, the staff plus the public have shown discriminatory behavior towards these people.

I agree with the research conducted by Dr Reece Bush-Evans on LGBTQIA related to physical and online gambling, basically LGBTQ behavior is very conservative towards sexuality or intersex as a group, so the research conducted by Dr Reece is correct, they will experience the effects of harassment that cannot be avoided, if they choose to gamble in physical casinos, online casinos feel safe for them to do so.

In other places we also often see LGBTQ people often carry out gambling activities, but they prefer to gamble in physical casinos rather than online, because they often come in groups, In my opinion, Dr. Reece's research was only carried out in a few countries, where this actually happened, harassment, but if we explore deeper there are also quite a lot of LGBTQ people who are involved in physical gambling, maybe it depends on the casino owner accepting them as honored guests or harassment.

The only thing that I can imagine on this is that most of the normal gamblers that are LGBTQ will attend only online casinos, but there are other people that will attend physical casinos, and those people are very rich, like having a bodyguard and security because the feeling is very different when playing the actual one, and for sure they want it, but if those people are just like us normal people, for sure they are scared to go to a physical casino as they are bullied or worse, get hurt.

The research was conducted on UK and it's territories, I thought they weren't discriminate the LGBTQ+ people because the country already accept them. Well, most people can't accept the unusual thing like sexual orientation, religion, race etc, so it's understandable LGBTQ+ people got discrimination.

This is one reason why online gambling become popular, there are many introvert, discriminated, or disability people out there.

Online gambling is a godsend not just for LGBTQ+ people, but for poor people, third world country people etc. It will always be superior to offline gambling in certain ways like this particular way.

We are actually lucky to be alive in a time where it's possible to gamble online without worrying about our financial status, race etc.

As if the poor can't find their ways into a nearby casino or betting spot, in my country before online gambling become this popular, many poor people will head into a gambling den nearby and gamble their money away, some will result into crime life where they have to do bad things to get money to pay debt they owe due to losses in gambling, so poor people still gambles before online gambling became reality.

The difference now is poor people can peacefully gamble without anyone knowing that they are into gambling, back in those days, some people find it not cool to visit the gambling den while there are loads of people coming and going in front of the gambling den, once someone you know sees you, they will likely spread the news.

As for LGBTQ+ we are now in a free world where anyone can do as they see fit, even the law is now protecting some big popular pedophiles around the world, they are everywhere, LGBTQ+ should stay where they are, do not come to south Africa or Ghana, I trust my African people, even the Tribes in Africa knows that you can't be a female pretending to be male, it's wrath of God you are seeking for.

To me that article seems pure propaganda more than anything else. In most developed countries, LGTBQ+ people have more rights than ever and are less discriminated than ever. However, there are many people whose economic livelihood depends on the continued existence of discrimination. Studies could also be carried out to see if women, blacks or the group that comes to mind are discriminated against in gambling or in other areas of our societies.

The only reason why they are harassed is because they are the first to approach men who don't like sleeping with them.

Without denying that there may be some isolated case of what you say, it is generally not so. Gay people notice if you're gay or not, and if you're not, they don't bother you. At least that is the experience that I have had and I have had some friendship with a few.

As any service online, casinos would help lgbt people to stay gender neutral. Most of forum members here literally look genderless even in our forums because we don't put our ids, photos et cetera. I think lgbtq people could be harassed a lot in some countries if they visited physical casinos because some countries have strict anti-lgbt laws. I don't understand why anyways, casino players are like walking money, if you are businessman you wouldnt care about your customer's sexual identity/gender/orientation.

How does that person know they are LGBTQ+? Is it because of the documents sent to the online casino or is there a behavior that is different from LGBTQ+ so there is discrimination against these people including from staff and other users?

I understand that LGBTQ+ is contradictory in some countries, there is still this ban even though LGBTQ+ is very strong in some countries, but I won't comment too much because for me LGBTQ+ is a contradictory gender.

I also thought the same thing, how can they be known as LGBTQ+, whether from their behavior or what they use when they come to the casino, I didn't read the article but isn't harassment also got to people other than LGBTQ+?
And in my opinion, they use online casinos because indeed that is a fairly common thing nowadays because it can be done anywhere and the issue of harassment is not impossible it's just the act of the media to get readers from the LGBTQ+ community because they feel they have the support of the media, because in my opinion, the casino will treat the players the same regardless of gender because they are the ones who provide benefits for the casino.

New Research Explores Effect of Gambling on LGBTQ+ People

Are we seriously having this conversation? WTF? Like I don't have when we have gays and lesbians but I hate America for legalizing LGBTQ+, something that should be considered as abomination, I know that whenever the US legalize something it's because they are benefitting from it, I am already thinking that higher position people, rulers and leaders in that country are also LGBTQ+ that's why this is now a normal thing.

It's true that LGBTQ+ people are getting slammed, not only in casinos but everywhere and they deserve it, but why are they going to casinos? Everyone has a smartphone on them I believe, they should stay at home and visit any online casino.

It's a confused world we are living in today, for LGBTQ+ people, it should be COVID-19 2.0.

I also believe that the LGBTQ community is being used to divide the country and create more chaos. Certainly, they benefitted from the chaos it brings, and it's not the weirdest game they play here because somehow the righteous and sanest thing to do these days can be disregarded all because it is said by someone from the Republican side.

When parents advise their LGBTQ sons to avoid drunk men, they instead shout back at their parents blaming them for being homophobic. Discrimination is everywhere, get used to it because even parents don't like their sons or daughters to be that way. Parents want their kids to have a normal life. But whether they are gay or les, they can play in casinos and go everywhere. They don't have to bother themselves with what others say because people will always have a say in anything.

First time I am hearing about that issue, it's quite sad if people are too afraid to visit a real casino and only play online. Hopefully there will be some punishments for the physical casinos that treat LGBTQ+ people differently, same goes for the employees. In my opinion we are all the same, everybody wants to have a good time and for the casino it shouldn't really matter who is placing their bets and who wins in their house. I would have thought that the casino is more interested in having a larger number of visitors to make a higher profit. This is another great example of the benefit of online gambling over the traditional casinos, there is no racism or treating people differently for their believes. Personally, I prefer online gambling anyways more than visiting my local casino, because its more comfortable. I don't have to drive to so far, can stay in my home, have a snack when I want and can take breaks and watch a movie if I am too tired.

They will face harassment, discrimination and other things too. One they are different. Two not everyone is happy is their life choices. Even outside of the casino, anywhere there is a physical meeting and the ratio of straight people are higher than LGBTQ people , there will be discrimination. Well that by the side. A sensible solution to harassment is to have an LGBTQ only casino. No straight people. Only LGBTQ people from the helm of affairs to the customers. This is an alternative for those who don't like to gamble all the time online.

Can most of the LGBTQ+ people really be distinguished by their looks and appearance? I mean, most gay and lesbian people look completely normal and you can't tell whether they are gay or straight. How could the casino staff discriminate such people?
I understand that some of the trans gender people look really "flamboyant" and tend to stand out from the crowd by their appearance, but they are a really small number.
I have never seen LGBTQ+ gamblers in my entire life. Maybe that's the main reason. They are all gambling online.
Most gamblers are men. I also have never seen a female gambler in my entire life. Grin

I disagree though, let me quote from the article,

Quote

According to Dr Bush-Evans, “life stressors” such as discrimination, social isolation and harassment can serve as triggers to push some LGBTQ+ individuals to gambling. The research is still ongoing. The results from the completed study are expected to be published later this year.

I doubt that what triggers LGBTQ to gambling has nothing to do with harassment, for me just like the rest of us. They want to enjoy and have fun and to some extend win some money just like the rest of us.

Just last night I went to a traditional base gambling and saw some members of the LGBTGQ community and just simply playing, simply as that. I doubt that they are there because they feel isolated or something. In fact they are all laughing and I even saw them getting drunk and no one cares.

Well, I may quote another text from the article which clearly states that LGBTQ+ people face harassment in their life and casino is not different place where they do not face the same situation.

Quote

The study flagged that 71% of the interviewed LGBTQ+ adults admitted that they have experienced some form of discrimination or harassment in their life.

The complete case study and research will be published later this year and that report may reveal more shocking facts about this behavior by the society as a whole. I wish they come up with something to stop this act of people towards LGBTQ and treat them as a normal human being.

The only reason why they are harassed is because they are the first to approach men who don't like sleeping with them. But generally, people don't mind whatever they do they have rights just as any other man. If they gamble in casinos, no one minds as long as it's their own money they spend.

I can only assume this article is from a woke revisionist as they were always been this way as if they are the oppressed community. It changes everything, now people are so much afraid of talking about them for fear they might be offended.

Well, the article says that the research is ongoing and that the results will be published next year, but I wouldn't draw too many conclusions from a single study. I don't know where you live, but I find it hard to believe that my local casino discriminates against LGTBQ people, and, in fact, I've known people who work in casinos without ever hearing any such stories from them. Cases of discrimination, although they still exist, could not happen in a business open to the public like that because it would be reportable.

Gender is not an important factor, but people haven't got the transition. Even now they follow the age-old thoughts and keep up the discrimination. Equality should be found everywhere. It shouldn't be limited within specific gender or community. Its not the person's mistake. Nothing offensive, at times they want themselves to be shown unique and such mentality makes people to keep them separate. So, they were also a reason for the discrimination.

I disagree, Gender is still a big factor. In many underdeveloped countries, even females are treated differently. We are talking about the harassment for the LGBTQ people, I think people will stare and try to misbehave even if any female visits a male dominant casino, in some countries.

So you can understand how difficult is for the LGBTQ persons to live a normal life without getting mentally tortured by society. The only way to stop this behavior is to spread awareness to the masses through national media.

Maybe the survey has been done wherein LBGTQ is accepted in the society? Not sure about it.

But as far as playing in casino for them just to get away from stress or from the environment that they grow up and because they are not accepted? maybe. However, we all know that gambling affects everyone. It has been part of the society even before this kind of groups have risen in the last couple of years.

So they can just go visit a casino even if it is male dominated, I don't think there should be a issue on that kind of setup.

Another use case for online gambling... It is true that straight people don't really feel confident around those LGBTQ+ people and it is only natural. If a male only wants to bed women and disgusts the idea of bedding men, then this person won't want to see any male (as long as he has a dick he is a male) people around that want to bed him.

Maybe the government should build LGBTQ+ Pro Max casinos specificially designed for those people but no, they want to ruin the fun of us, straight people.

But how are these people recognized by just Thier physical appearance? Isn't it more convincing when they know Thier lifestyle which would possibly take a long while?? - Assuming it's their first time in that casino house..
Secondly, casino owners don't even give a heck who's wagering thier funds - except the person involved is underage... All they need is enough profit at the end of the day...
Thirdly, the main interest when online casinos were developed was to ease the stress of moving up and down to either book games or claim winnings...

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

I believe these days, gender is not important anymore when it comes to going inside a land-based casino.
Time is changing and people are getting used to different lifestyles, different approach in life.
And yes, owners don't care about your gender preference, so long you are not making any trouble and spending your own money.
Maybe, if you go into a casino in a fairly remote area, where people knew each other, there will be talks behind your back.
But if you are going to a casino in the city, this kind of worry goes away. People are also changing their mindset when it comes to this aspect.

Gender is not an important factor, but people haven't got the transition. Even now they follow the age-old thoughts and keep up the discrimination. Equality should be found everywhere.
