Is this an isolated phenomenon or it's just where im from? I see more and more gambling commercials, tv ads, and I see more and more gambling spots all over the streets. There were casinos before but im talking about places where people take bets usually on soccer and other sports, not a classic casino with the usual casino stuff. I see they are located near high schools too. This could cause a gambling addiction epidemic among the youth, which has a hard time making money these days and feel desperate and end up gambling whatever little they make.

I claim this cannot be a simple coincidence. The rich have always gambled, but lower end classes weren't gambling that much in the past as far as I know. There weren't definitely as many gambling spots all over the place before.

I can think of at least two things that this is happening in your country. First of all, it is true that lower end classes weren't gambling so much. The reason why they gamble more now is that they became poorer. The global wealth is accumulated to little people so the poor class tries to gain their losses by gambling. It is reasonable but they will probably be poorer eventually.
And also, during Christmas holidays casinos do aggressive marketing in order to attract customers. It is the most active period of sales for them.

In most under-developed countries, where there are few employment opportunities, people tend to try gambling to change their faith. That's one reason why gambling is increasing all over the world.

I don't think gambling is popular in under developed county. When people have money they can try options but when they don't have much to live then their options are limited. I guess westerners are the targeted customers for gambling industry.

I don't know if you have heard about Macau in Asia or 3 big casinos in the Philippines. So it's not just westerners' but big Asian whales as well are the main target now of the gambling industry.

That's why this sort of consortium of gambling company are willing to open to 3rd world countries to operate and the government are willing to cooperate because of the the tax or even to attract tourist.

Each time government seen good outcome for taxes they will cooperate with any types of business,even they've stake people's condition becoming addicted they will allow it making the industry becoming more and continues to grow from time to time.

Most poor country also have much activities of gambling in their countries and this maybe the reason those countries were poor now.And we need to be clear that not all the people in the poor countries were poor we can see many billionaires from poor countries also.

Its December and we can see the increase number of gamblers and casinos as a seasonal phenomenon, which we all know that December is the month where people have plenty of money to get some leisures and to gamble. If the increase number of gamblers continue to soar after the month then we could consider that your theory is correct.

Right.It's also happening in my country.Gambling has become rampant because it's also supported by the government.Especially in lottery,more people have been addicted to this because the prize at stake keeps growing making its worth definitely a huge amount.Even myself make a lot of gambling but i also make sure i only gamble the amount i can afford to lose.

There are a lot of reasons that a government might ban something that they cannot control. They want to regulate it probably because they want to have a part in it and secondly, I think they are trying to help people who cannot control themselves in gambling, restricting them would be a lot of help to the future of those people.

I don't believe that there are people who are addicted to the lottery because the chances of winning there are really minuscule. I want to rephrase this as, people who believe in the impossible. Investing in something they have no certainty. Believers in that. Respect.

Actually the government really play the main role for any regulation that working on the country.
When gambling growing non stop, it means that your government may still not working any regulation or already legalize gambling.
It's great opportunity for people who seek more gambling industry especially when cryptocurrency also join the party !

Yeah, in my place the government is not that strict in terms of regulating casinos that’s why many new casinos are already in place. This growth can actually boost the number of tourist and its actually happening now since many foreign people are already playing in most of the casinos. Its ok to do business like this as long as you are following the rules of the government.

The rent for casinos and betting shops is higher in my town than for other businesses but this still doesn't stop business premises to be mostly used for gambling activities. Even with much higher rent they are making a killing and they are always full. People like to gamble and that is a fact.

One thing that made gambling easier are electronic payment services, credit cards etc. You dont see the money physically, it is only a number on a computer screen and therefore it doesn't mean as much as when you have money in your hands. You dont have a feeling of how much you lost or won.

In recent time gambling will play an important role in the major people who interested in investing on cryptocurrency when the price of cryptocurrency was low gambling become very popular in all over the world it is because of more people get interested to get more income in short period of time that's why gambling will grow more in recent time.

Hey I see you have failed to mention your country, so my first question is gambling legal in your country?. If it is legal then it's natural for it to grow, and at times even government supports it, as it leads to higher revenues in taxes. I feel people love to live the thrill of putting money on their favourite teams and make easy money, while it's a shame to see they're spreading near schools you could seek the relevant authorities and bring it down.

For sure gambling is legal in he’s country since OP had mentioned of advertising all over the place where he lived in,but the guy above also corrects that in most of the country’s all over the world gambling is prohibited in near by schools and churches,let me guess that OP is from asian country because this likes from where i belong .

Government wants to assure that your money is in the safe hand. These procedures basically eliminate the frauds.

Imagine everyone is launching their own gambling business without having a valid background check. Frauds will take the chances and will walkaway with your money even without letting you playing with your money.
~

Isn't that what has been happening from the beginning of times? No government can regulate gambling to the extent of eliminating frauds entirely. I think there is no such country, even taking the North Korea into consideration, were gambling is properly regulated. The scam artists are plentiful even under dictatorship regimes. That's why we need provably fair system in the first place. You don't have to rely on anyone's honesty, you don't have to trust anybody, you should be able to check the fairness any time you want.

the growth of gambling are increasing everyday because gambling attracts all offers because of the value falling if gambling attract people to continue gamble because of the value will not grow up again they need to get more money in your shortcut that's why people choose gambling is the best way but my opinion is gambling is there entertainment one so we cannot think gambling is our life.

One aspect of gambling is that one can earn a lot of money pretty quickly through gambling. Although there is a risk involved but reward is too much that many people try their luck with gambling. In most under-developed countries, where there are few employment opportunities, people tend to try gambling to change their faith. That's one reason why gambling is increasing all over the world.

if that is the case, then the national government should be clear in the policies to regulate such gambling activities. then, the local government should adhere to these otherwise your country will only have gambling as its foremost industry.

I think we know that gambling has grown too fast now and in all countries, the gambling places were open although, in some country, the government prohibited their people from playing gambling. But I am sure people still go to the gambling place even with secretly and they use the money to gamble because gambling gives them the opportunity to make fast money. It makes people attracted to try and although they know about the chances to win is smaller than the lost, they still playing without thinking about their life.

Nice to hear so, recently there are so many countries that have gradually prevent and stop the activities of gambling in their country which has lead so many casinos owners out of business. I'm not fullyly disputing the actions cause I guess their government might have their reasons. Cause, there are some gamblers who bring negative impact in gambling by becoming addictive making it looks as if gambling is an evil deeds.

I heard that too and here in my place many casinos plans to expand their business and yet they are being prevented by the government because of permit issues. Still you will see many gamblers are in the casinos playing their favorite game and you can recognize their the volume of gambler everyday is really increasing and I think its hard to control it.

I think it is not just in your country, because gambling could be everywhere if there is no one stepping to stop it then it will continue to grow. But on one point, these casinos are helping in the economy of their own country. And with the right rules and regulations, everything could be beneficial in the economy despite the bad habits that could bring to the youngster.

Yeah, even in my country the gambling is growing and you can see a lot of casinos everywhere you go. This is really good to boost our economy and it can increase the tourist level if the government is able to regulate well those casinos. We also have a lot of carnivals where you can also gamble, especially during holidays and you can see that a lot of people are playing, and hoping that they can win some money.

Gambling business can really stir the economy somewhat but I wanted to say that at least a proper government regulations should be in place specially not accepting 18 years old and below. I also seen lots of young people gambling and you can hear horrible stories that some of them are force to steal other people's money just to continue their gambling habits. Sad to hear but it's true, specially from impoverish or slums area in my place.

Governments only looking for the revenue so they are going to accept in what way they are going to come so they have allowed more casinos in your country it has many disadvantages.Which is not like online gambling playing in real life casino will give more contact to peaople and we may get addicted to drugs or drinking and much more when we have with those kind of people.

Not all governments have the same perspective on casino either online or a real casino, there are some places they did not tolerate people on engaging casinos especially those people prohibited to their religion. Online casino I think that is now fastest growing because a lot of people can gamble hiding from someone even the authorities or their families.
