Topic: Geopolitical Tension and its effects on Gambling (Read 512 times)

People who live in the areas where such conflicts are happening or are indirectly attached to people who live in these areas will tend to stop gambling or gambling less frequently for now, since their attention will be totally driven to the impacts of the war over their routines. How could they think about gambling when their lives are at stake and the enemy attack is imminent? They won't be able to concentrate on gambling games.

Furthermore, it's possible internet connection gets affected during wartimes, what will consequently prevent gamblers from accessing the platforms they are used to play. Unless they flee from the war zones, and reach safe areas where infrastructure is still intact, it won't be possible to gamble, anyway.

The impact for websites and bookies will be decreasement in traffic and volume of daily bets, what means less profit for the house...

Well I think this has an impact on everyone when we are generating ways of thinking about Whether there are wars or not, the main thing here is to see if we are being fair with the possible fundamentals that have so much impact on the asset markets, stock market, forex, and everything. what has to do with this, but in games I don't think there will be an impact like that, as they say, as long as there is internet, then people who are at war will play, Especially those who are in countries that have nothing to do with the conflict, because the internet service is in force there , of Course is my way of thinking, it does not affect as they do in speculative markets.

From his statement i think the meant, how the ongoing war could affect gambling or bettor in the regions where there's war or how it could affect other countries if the war escalates, well I don't think there are much gamblers in Iran currently and if there is, relocating to a safer region where there's no war would be the best option. However the war might affect them if they're gambling with platforms located in that country.

 The internet has made it very easy for individuals to gamble online. Those in such regions where the gambling shops are affected could go online to register and continue their gambling habits, but come to think of it, why would one even continue gambling when their country is in conflict with another at that point they should be thinking of the safety of their loved ones and gambling.

Is your question about betting drastically decreasing across the world due to the war between the countries involved or betting in the region affected by the war?

As long as the internet is working, there will be people betting as long as it's profitable for them, especially if they are not in the affected region and it does not pose a risk to their lives. Perhaps fear and uncertainty cause people to panic at first and make mass withdrawals from online casinos, but as they realize that it doesn't affect their daily lives as much, the flow of capital from casinos returns, just as happened with the coronacrash in 2020 (talking about the fall of bitcoin in this event).

During war, the only thing that comes on anyone's mind is safety. People living in  areas that are affected by war will be too busy thinking of how to stay safe and at least eat. Just like many social and economic activities will be affected, gambling activities will be affected too. Casinos in affected areas will temporarily shutdown pending when the war is over. No serious gambling activity will own except for minor card games and draft board games just to ease the tension and for few bucks too. Only people who are not directly affected by the war will have the time to visit casinos and even bet on ongoing wars in other regions. No economic and social activity will remain thesame during a war. Even after the war, people still need some time to adjust.

Gambling is just an entertainment, it's not something they will consider during struggle.

For an addict, I'm not sure if they will gamble in order to earn, but they must be have open a donation because they can earn without taking any risk.

Probably for the casinos they could expect less people will gamble, but it also depend on how small or big the scale of gamblers on those conflict countries.

War will disrupt many things, especially comfort and security, which can disturb and even make everyone feel threatened, especially those in conflict areas.
And in my opinion, those who gamble will not feel calm and comfortable when betting and will not even be able to concentrate in doing so. And in a threatened situation that will cause injury, disability or even death, I think a gambler will not think about his gambling during the conflict, and all he will think about is his own safety. And they will return to gambling when the conflict has subsided. And for those who are addicted, I don't think they will care about anything that happens even if their lives are threatened, it seems they will still look for free time to gamble.

Maybe for some people, the war going on in the Middle East this time will make them postpone their desire to gamble, just imagine the difficulty of earning money now will definitely make people hold on to their money.  but for those who are addicted to gambling, i doubt they will refrain from gambling even when they don't have any money, they still gamble lol.

affected of course, however, the war definitely had a big impact on all lines of business including the gambling business.

Gambling is restricted but not illegal in Israel. Gamblers are restricted to play only Isreal's National lottery and sports bettings. However the laws doesn't stop enjoying casino games in Cruise ships that docks at some ports in Isreal. I don't know what Judaism preaches about gambling but there is no record of gambling in the Old Testament of the Holy Bible.

In times of war, People are more interested in survival than other endeavors. might not risk their lives to visit a brick-and-mortar casino but online gambling might flourish. Boredom can fuel more gambling activities. An example is what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic where online gambling increased to a large extent because people were lonely and needed to have some fun.

I don't think Israel and Iran are yet in the war at the moment, they are still issuing out warning with some reprisal attacks. However, businesses including casinos both online and offline will be affected because there will be low turn out as people will seek for safety first before pleasure.


No. No casino will be spared if there happens to be war within the area that it is located and because the internet facilities in the area may likely be destroyed so it will affect all the internet or digital businesses in the area because of no access.

A war like this are often overexaggerated, just like it happened with Russia and Ukraine, there is no world war anywhere, at least not so soon. The Russian-Ukraine war still continues and the world has moved past that when it comes to how things are compared to how they were in the wake of the war. As it is in the Israel-Palenstine war, cryptocurrencies initially sold off due to the war, but what later happened? It moved back upwards afterwards. The sudden shock in the market is what is causing that, which couples with the risk-on nature of the crypto market among others. However, it will have little or no impact on gambling, this will be so, because gambling will continue as usual in most quarters and the last time I checked, Iran, Palestine and Israel are not the big names in the gambling industry. So, they can't pull the ground in any way in this area.

Also, with the inception of crypto and online gambling, nothing serious can ever happen if a full war breaks out. The war may though push more people to stay indoors, just like the time of Covid-19. What happened? More online activities happened of course, and this will cause the gambling industry to witness more patronage. But I do not see this war escalating. Iran is just foolish but the way the whole world is treating the situation and calming the tension shows that there can't be an escalation. Israel is now mature enough not to retaliate but demanded heavy sanctions against Iran. So, everything will soon get back to normalcy in both the cryptocurrency world and the gambling industry which it never affected yet.

It can be argued that a person's gambling experience might vary depending on where they live and the political climate in their country. Also, even if you are known to be a regular gambler, you should always pay attention to any political events or conflicts happening around your area.

The levels of tension in countries can disturb the accessibility of internet betting services, especially if the site is operated from a country that plays a significant role in the conflict. This could entail some gamblers finding it hard to log into the website or not working at all. However, even with this being the case, it should always be noted that gambling should be done responsibly and that punters must always exercise caution with their wagering behaviors. While the political context may impact gaming actions and events, still, taking care of one’s own well-being is also essential. It would be good if these conflicts go away after some time and everything is resolved in a peaceful way.

Gamblers have no hand in the conflict but it will definitely ruined the most promising plans for people and the government saying absolutely nothing about them. Israel and Iran at war and this will affects both countries economy, inflation will come in surface. We should calmly focused on the activities that generates huge sums for us and also be able to enact laws that will bring in profits. Chaos will also hinder people from engaging in their daily routine. It's always been one of the top casino that will function in such circumstances.

Israel seems like a holy land, so I think gambling is restricted there. If there are still gamblers there, definitely they need to stop it if they don't want to get punished and even if no one caught them physically, spiritually their souls are already burning in hell for this type of violation they have committed.

In terms of wars, I don't think a person will ignore it and continue to what they are doing because they can only hurt them selves this way. Even if they are inside the bunker, I still don't think that they will have the time to think about gambling. Instead, they will spend their time thinking if how can they safely escape on that affected area.

I think it will depend on where the gambler is or in what country the gambler is residing. Well, I'm aware of the ongoing tension between two countries, but I don't think that there's an effect on me, especially in my gambling activities. I still do gambling with my regular schedule, but of course we cannot ignore the tension because if this becomes worse, other countries might be involved even if they don't want to. Anyway, I hope the tension in both countries comes to an end. Gambling topic aside, we know that war brings nothing good to both parties, so let's hope things are at peace.

But maybe some online casinos might be down, especially if those gambling sites are operated in the country where the current tension is happening, so of course there will be an effect on those gamblers that are using them. Anyway,  gamble responsibly and mind your gambling activities.

There is no possibility that of gambling to continue or take place in such situation. A good business works properly when there is peace of mind and comfort but when there is no such th gambling will reduce, Nd that will definitely affect the gambling sites.kste people will have no choice than to pull out their fund on the site before it shutdown. Although it depends on the gambling sites you are talking about. If it is a local gambling casino in a particular region which is affected, it may not work but if it's an online casino worldwide you can still play online without stress.

it just depends on where you are in this conflict. are Israel people gamblers?

if they are then they really have to stop gambling and just stay in their bunkers. they will just be playing poker offline in the bunker-turned-casino.

This could have serious effect on us whether we are gamblers or not especially when it comes to gambling with fiat  currencies. There is need for us to make sure we have protect our investment fiets before we think of whether it's going to affect the entire gambling sector. This can change in due time and we need dtk to make sure we keep doing what it going to make us earn more as gamblers rather talking about the affect of the Israel vs Iran war. This war is not going to happen and the world war countries need to try their best to ensure that things do not go in this manner because it's going to affect virtually everyone and every sectors.

In regarding about wars then economical areas or something that correlates into it will surely be having that effects on which we know that it could really be bringing out that kind of effect specially into forex/stocks etc. which there would really be a decline. We cant be sure about crypto but we know that this is something which is really that independent. In regarding on the question;

1. Gambling less about war tension? Gamblers dont care- as long the site that they are playing with is online up and running then they would really be continuing.
2. Depends on the location but since everything could be operated online then it wont really be that much of  a concern not unless if we are talking physical casinos on here.

This is why it wont really be that much of a concern on whatever the wars that s been happening as of this moment.
You can gamble anytime, all you want.

The global economic space is interconnected which means a problem in one sector could affect another area. The conflict in the Middle East will have adverse consequences on the supply of oil and gas. And this could lead to an increase in the price which will affect the cost of production. Some firms might consider cutting down their workforce in such a situation. Gamblers might also be affected by these job losses which will make them stop gambling. This might affect the earnings or revenue of gambling firms.

Situations like this could lead to an increase or decrease in the rate of gambling. Many people might become more conservative with spending because of these uncertainties. They might prefer to save more money because of fear of the unknown. Others who have lost jobs might stop gambling while some might decide to turn to gambling as a major source of income.

Many of them might realise less revenue because conflicts lead to economic problems which will affect the income of gambling companies.
