It is also true in case of online casinos. People have turned to online gambling ever since the pandemic has hit. We did see a rise in the number of gamblers last year. With cases rising back again to it's peak, some countries might once again put strict restrictions everywhere or may even go back to an initial lockdown. We may see another rise in the volume of bets being placed in online casino. At least it is providing (some) people entertainment while being housebound.
I believe we will be covid free before next week, we should trust the vaccine and if everyone will receive a vaccine, slowly we will be back to the old normal. Gambling firms will still remain profitable because they were discovered more during the pandemic and some of the gamblers will remain gambling even if we get back to the old normal.

Hope that They are doing this action because they really wanted to Help people and not just for popularity and advertisement .
We have seen many action like this in the past that gambling company is making Help for Needed but in the end they are only making sounds for them to be acknowledge and gain more gamblers overtime.
They are doing this all of the above, they want to help and it's another advertisement for them, they will earn goodwill for gamblers and non gamblers and for the government as well, let's admit it, gambling is bad in the eyes of many people and these gambling companies should do something about this, and they can only do this if they offer help in times of needs.

It is nearly impossible to have good image as gambling company in muslim countries (I am from one of them) There is only one regulated company I know for sports betting, but many people consider it corruption etc. But this kind of behavior can affect people's thoughts.
well This thread tackles about UK and Not Muslim countries , You Know what ? you must be lucky living in that country in which Gambling is really discriminated because at the Best interest you won't become addicted because even if you wanted the option to gamble is really limited .But In countries like mine that gambling is legal and can be done almost everywhere? You must learn that your children is prone to becoming one as well.

Do people realise that national lottery is pretty much state owned?
This is not just some random private gambling corporation giving out money for free. A quarter of National Lottery's revenue is literally legislated to go to the National Lottery Community Fund for the purpose of financing public spending projects.
There shouldn't be an expectation for private entities to give away their revenue for free. And honestly, nor should any credit be given to a public entity for doing exactly what they're supposed to do.

Great news this can only happen in advance countries, our own government won't ever do such to her citizens becasue they believe those who will benefit from the act are not their family members. What is good is good and should be commended, even though what i see here is just the government helping her citizens still demand or command appreciation. This is what my country men and women lack, giving helping hands to the needing when the need arises.
I am sure the government will help their citizen and do their best to solve the problem in their country. If many companies help people who really needed in this pandemic, I think we can get out of the pandemic and survive, even if the pandemic continues. If their citizens still demand their government, I think that is because they are not yet getting help from the government, and they need to be patient for a while because the government needs to prioritize the people who really suffer. We hope that is not just casino that will help the citizen but the other company will follow their step.

Half true but there's always a good side for the business for sure.
I agree that this move will bring good images for the gambling business, especially now that the whole world are suffering from this pandemic, helping the governement to assist those who are in need the most are very kind gesture and it will really build good relationship within the government,business owners and the end users.
At this time of pandemic we have heard some news that gambling business that was regulated via online with coordination to the government do really help to economy by their taxes. Well for me, the appreciation to the gambling online business takes place because during quarantine where no one allowed to go outside for just a liesure reasons all transactions made online so maybe it is one of the way that a gambling businesses can do to help their countries economic suffering.I agree that this move will bring good images for the gambling business, especially now that the whole world are suffering from this pandemic, helping the governement to assist those who are in need the most are very kind gesture and it will really build good relationship within the government,business owners and the end users.
they would make their business to be profitable frankly speaking.They would really be needing some approval in the government to make it happen and as a part of
taxation then its just pretty normal for them to pay up some taxes and with this current condition or situation then government would really be seeing on the relevance
of big businesses like these when it comes to revenue and the percentage that they can get with these casinos.
thats true. if they are regulated, they do need to pay taxes and thats part of their obligation to exist as a business. what the OP gave an example is the government-owned lottery system. and we all know that they do really give good amount to charities and thats part of their mission. but for regular gambling site, i don't think many of them have the aim to give some of their profits to the govt aside from the regular taxes that they are paying.
but if they do, thats great. they are one of the businesses that do have business during this pandemic (true for online casinos).

It's not the first time we see gambling being directly related to a country's government. Lottery and sweepstakes that take a percentage of ticket sales and winnings are but a few examples. Although it is quite novel at least for me to know about how multiple gambling firms, which normally shouldn't have nothing to do with the government, actively helping them in order to benefit from one another.
I find it a good thing if companies who can afford to help, do so and help the people in need or governments in need. We are all aware that the online gambling industry had a huge boom last year due to the pandemic. For some of us gambling is nothing of interest and they will avoid it at all cost, but for the most of us here gambling is a nice way to spend some time and home and try to grow our crypto coins. Without gambling I probably would be so active anymore in the crypto community. Even though I lost quite a bit of money, I also got lucky a few times and made a profit. Seeing now that casinos also do good with their profits is a honorable thing. In the end if we all would be winning all the time, then the casinos would just go broke.

Does it matter? As long as the money is actually being given away to the people that need it the reasons behind it should only matter to the one doing the action, at the end of the day taking into account how difficult things are going for so many people that have lost their jobs and have faced many other difficult situations because of the pandemic they need any help they can receive.We have seen many action like this in the past that gambling company is making Help for Needed but in the end they are only making sounds for them to be acknowledge and gain more gamblers overtime.
If this helps casinos as well then so be it, after all it is not as if casinos have not been heavily affected by the pandemic as well.

The government can not work alone, and they need supports from many companies or individuals to get out and solve the problem of this pandemic.
Thats true, the government cant do this alone. They're also lacking for financial budget to sustain the needs of unfortunate people.This move of gambling firms are a big help to fight this crisis. In our country there's a certain lottery company giving donations for people who needs financial assistance especially when it comes to health medication. Actually they're doing this for long period already to help the government for the sake of poor people.

Apparently A Gambling Firm In the UK related to lotteries is going to help the UK Government for a program which aims to provide support for the people who are suffering from homelessness , have a disability, some problems etc. They are going to team up with the Government and the local bodies to make sure future of such Individuals are good.
They are putting millions of investment in the program , it was incase announced last year but this year they have decide to increase the support to the same.

Gambling can be a good source of revenue to the government at the pandemic time but we can never assume that it is helping the people because they are jobless but still spending their money from savings to gamble and importantly they are doing it with the intention of making more money not to tackle their boredom.

This makes sense because many people are jobless and also they are probably feeling bored of being at home for a longer time because of this pandemic. this is more than a year with this kind of situation. Many jobless and also some limitations are still done in order to avoid or minimize the risks of spreading the virus. Well, playing gambling online may be one of the options to do. And I am curious about how they can survive because of gambling. AFAIK, gamblers especially the new ones may not be always winners. They may be losing and losing again that led somebody to feel stressed again.
However, if it is based on the research and the people are better in income and activities, I am pretty sure that gambling at this tie really gives good impacts and a good alternative to be done during this pandemic.
But, this si different in my country because gambling still becomes an illegal activity.

It's their time to shine, they are one of the biggest earners because gambling is a multi-billion dollar industry, by giving help to those who are in need, they are showing to their detractors that they are not really that bad, and they can be a partner to the government to support in providing basic needs to poor people, it's a win-win situation for the government, for the gambling companies and for the people in need.
They'll be getting an incentive to the government that they're showing their help. It's a big thing for them to do that because the government would always be in favor of them if they're about to register or would be asking for an extension, permits won't be a problem to them anymore.Casinos that would be shown to the public that they're giving aide to the people on this crisis will have a change of view for those people that look bad on them.

The National Lottery Community Fund will invest around £18m ($25m) to the UK Government’s ‘Changing Futures’ programmed.. .
The programme is designed to help adults facing issues like homelessness, drug, and domestic abuse and invites local organisations to partner with disadvantaged individuals.

I wonder how this will sound to them if they are told that "Gambling" firms are helping them to be better people. Maybe they should be asked how they feel about "gambling" firms supporting them.
Doesn't really sound moral to use money from Gambling or businesses that encourage big risk to fund those that need help.
I think it should simply be seen as Lottery (as it's called) or Betting firms.. and hopefully it is well regulated to prevent irresponsible and very risk bettings.
