can't relate to this thread because gambling is forbidden in my country.
I don't even know the difference between a lottery and buying a product that can give us a chance to win prizes.
so, most likely something like this will not happen in my country.
a good move from that gambling firm. a win-win for all; their marketing, taxes, and also for the people who get help.
the one that can't take advantage of that situation is religious people in that country.

Lottery is the best way to help the poor but in essence it's just the poor who are really aggressive on betting in lottery, so it doesn't makes sense if you would really dive into the real purpose. Gambling will take people's money and a government sponsored gambling platform IMO is bad, of course they can still help the people and that is true taxes.
I don't know if there are big private lottery, but AFAIK and I witness in our country, all of the lottery business are owned by a government agency.

It's good that they're going to help as what it should be done. But I agree with those that have said that there must be something in return for this good deed that they do.
They're an enterprise, a business and every step that they do shall be for the benefit of their businesses. What should be the return of this? maybe giving the people a good understanding that it's fine to gamble because there's a proceed that goes to the unfortunate ones. But still, there's the reminder to gamble moderately.

They just want to prove to the government that they are not only a form of vice but they also have hearts in hard times, they are showing the government that they are not only a profit-generating company but they can be partners of the government in times of crisis, many gambling casinos are doing this not only in UK but also in other parts of the world.
this a great step for the gambling casino to have a good reputation in the government . in no time no casino will be restricted by every government because they expect that casino will help them when they have extra .
we dont need to say that governments dont need help because we think they are rich already because we dont know the amount that they released starting from the covid and the covid is not ended , any help are still welcome .
March 23, 2021, 02:55:29 AM
it's those rich guys who can afford to entertain themselves in the casino and the ones who got addicted to gambling who loses money. they have another program for these people. it's just a loop, they help but they also ruin lives.
Yeah! the money they spent on the people from their gambling business might some 20% from the extra total income that they get from those people who lose every day in gambling. So there's nothing praiseworthy about it since that money is from those people who lose from their casino. Anyway, when you want to look at it from the other side, this is good instead of using the money on their own without giving some of it to the others who are suffering from the harsh environment after this pandemic.

In the Philippines, gambling firm that is helping the poor are just own by the government, so it's still the government helping the government if we based on the title of the thread. IMO, private gambling firms are helping as well but only in the form of taxes, the bigger the revenue the government could collect, the more they can help and usually taxes on gambling firms are higher than other industry.
I think that the only one that is owned by the government is the PCSO and PAGCOR, I don't think that it is the government that really helps the people, the money that came from those gambling firms came from the money of the people that they spend buying lottery tickets, I mean almost anything that the government is paid by the taxpayers money so they are just there to make things happen but it isn't their money. The problem with collecting taxes is that there are some people that get away legally and illegally.

Gambling is bad especially if the community is unhealthy and it is more likely to bring negative effect to people.
But if the gambling platforms also aims to help those people in needs then that's the time where we should support its agenda.
Not all gambling platform do have the same mindset like this because most of them only talks about getting rich and greed in terms of money. Hoping that more and more gambling platforms will engage to this kind of idea where we should also help those people who are starving and struggling to survive every single day so that people will not only have a bad impression on gambling activities.
Gambling will depend on how people can use it. If they know that gambling is one thing that they can get fun and enjoy in their free time, they will not try hard to make money because the money will get only a bonus for them. But unfortunately, people do not realize this or realize the potential of making money from gambling, so they try to make money, even if they need to use more money.But if the gambling platforms also aims to help those people in needs then that's the time where we should support its agenda.

If the casino can help people around that place or people who needed help, that can change the image of the casino from profit-oriented into getting profit to help people. It will reduce their bad reputations among people, but still, gambling is not good for people who want to make money.

In some countries the National Lottery have to give a specific percentage of the profit to charities as a prerequisite to operate in that country. So the government will only grant them a license to operate, if they give that percentage back to charities.
Governments justify the unethical behavior, because they know any additional funding will grant them extra funding for other government projects. This is one of the reasons why they hunt down "illegal" operators, because they do not pay taxes and they also do not adhere to the requirements to fund charities.

like in my country where the government handles programs to provide health services which funds come from the casinos all over the country. the not so fortunate are the ones that benefit only for they screen who are the ones to get the benefits.

It is unbelievable that governments insist on restricting gambling and the argument is always the same: "people can become addicted, people will spend everything they have and they will not win anything ..." but governments do not limit beers which are things that harm many people (the number of car accidents keeps increasing and most of the time car accidents are due to people being drunk and driving a car)
my point with this is that we have this good action that this gambling site did, but governments should let people start being responsible for their money and not stifle gambling with so many rules and laws

Well, now I guess this is a huge slap to this government body's face.
Lotteries from different countries for sure has helped the people during this time of crisis. Now, what this gambling firm has done is enough to make them realize the importance of the charity gambling firms and lottery.
Nevertheless, this is such a good move from this gambling firm. Not only does the government and the people are benifiting from these, but them as well.
Gambling will generate money that can help financially and gambling will only lose or win which will not have fatal consequences in an instant as well as the risk of becoming a personal addict that does not harm others and there will be a process that can still be overcome if there are signs.
Casino or lottery, if agreed, will benefit various parties and a small part to charity for those in need because of the pendemi.
Anything that is in excess, is not good. So it is the responsibility of the gambler to look after himself.
And if he needs professional help, he can always tap the establishment as they know where to get help from.
Gambling institutions can easily generate money even during this pandemic, so it is a good source of income.
So instead of banning them, let them operate and just get something from them. In that way, they are helping both to survive in this crisis.
And besides, no matter what, gambling will always be there. So why not extract money from them in legal way?

Glad to see that a gambling firm is doing something good for their local community by helping them survive off their unemployment due to the pandemic and other problems. How great will that be, if all the gambling firms come ahead to help each other leaving all their reproach aside and make this world a better place.

Interesting and also a good move from their side and I do not get why almost everyone is complaining. It is not a contradiction if this gambling firm decides to help with some money: it is not their fault people get addicted. The government silently gets its share and close both eyes knowing that gambling is a very profitable business for the state. March 22, 2021, 03:06:51 PM

In a country where gambling is legal, then I think the government has the responsibility to regulate gambling as best as possible and limit some things that are deemed to be detrimental to players, the site or the government itself even though they have an advantage from taxes. Regulating, limiting is somewhat rational than prohibiting completely.Well, now I guess this is a huge slap to this government body's face.

There are two thing that must be seen from the involvement of gambling site in charity work. First, gambling site carry out secret promotion through investing in government-backed charities. This good image is shown to the public that gambling also cares about charity, but on the negative side, people are increasingly interested in increasing money on the gambling site. Beneficial and also detrimental. Lotteries from different countries for sure has helped the people during this time of crisis.

In this way we can see who is concern and whos not , because not all gambling firm are doing the same as what this one did.
some are only wanted to bag money from their players , while others is wanted to help while they are gaining and this is the true essence of business.
love your business and help those who needs and for sure blessings will goes back to you.
Mostly the organization who will do such help is connected to politicians or government, some uses this companies for their benefits but some might just really want to help especially this time of pandemic. We just need to be smarter if we will also support them by playing or joining in their games. Hopefully many will still find ways to help not just to scam other people. some are only wanted to bag money from their players , while others is wanted to help while they are gaining and this is the true essence of business.
love your business and help those who needs and for sure blessings will goes back to you.
