I agree with you, gambling will provide benefits if it is run well and not misused for whatever reason, but there are still many people who don't understand gambling so they are free to do it without rules.

Your opinion is absolutely correct, if the government legalizes gambling then all groups, whether old people, adults, young people or teenagers, can gamble and this will be detrimental to the younger generation who should behave well but will actually behave badly because they have participated in gambling activities.


That's how it should be, but many people nowadays are greedy and they don't see it as entertainment but as a place to make money so they will play without good control and gamble continuously in order to win and get a lot of money.

Of course, gambling will have more negative impacts than positive impacts, because people misunderstand gambling from the start so they will get a lot of problems in it. and from the experiences he has seen, he might be able to make other people aware so that they don't experience bad things in gambling.

Gambling results in more losses than gains, that's why when someone is asked a question about gambling, they get a negative answer about gambling. The government of a country should not only think about the revenue but the government of that country should think whether the people are good or whether its decisions are having any bad effect on the people of the country. If a casino site is approved in its own country and it is seen that more money is going out of the country than the revenue collected from that casino annually, then the government of that country is forced to think about whether they will allow gambling sites in the country or not.

Mainly, we think that gambling is a tool that helps decreasing stress + helps to encourage new social connections.

Most other communities here in this industry can't avoid the fact that other people think that gambling is not a good thing because it leads to addiction. Maybe a gambling casino helps if it is under government regulations, and the same is true if the casino is under a charity program.

There are other gambling platforms here in our country that really help our society because it is a charity that is under the government, but if a gambling platform is illegal, that does not help; instead, it leads to theft and illegal means.

Usually poor people are the one who are more eager to gamble especially on lottery since they are living on the fantasy that they became a multi-millionaire someday if they win the jackpot prize. They see a lot of stories on tv and online that's the reason why they are so inspired to bet each time they know that the prize keeps rising up especially on mega lotto or grand lotto. But if they know they have more higher chance to hit by a lightning than winning a jackpot for sure they will take it slow in terms of betting if they are spending a lot of money because they think that the more tickets they have the more chance they win.

Gambling is not really important on the society since people can live without it. There are just people think its important because the taxes it bring to the government really help to fund them but in reality this is just small percentage only and government can live without tax coming from gambling sources.

And usually, poor people were involved in gambling hoping for something  --winning big. Unfortunately, this causes problems for them as instead of prioritizing their needs, they are now spending more on gambling and losing their money. Indeed, the government is benefiting more from this while these casino owners are benefiting from gamblers and gamblers get mental stress and financial problems.

Gambling is not really important in society but it gives pleasure and chances.

gambling has also had a good impact on the development of the society we live in, because that person who buys a lottery ticket, that person who plays at the casino are paying taxes that are channeled to the government and these taxes that came of gambling, they are used to build things and pay the salaries of state employees, also when someone rich builds a physical casino in some country, in that city where the casino will be built, it will provide more jobs for the people of the city, it will create poto tourist in this city, because people from that city and around the world will want to know the casino that was built in that city

and when they are people who don't live in that city and want to visit the casino, then they will travel to that city, which means they will pay for a plane ticket and they will pay for a hotel when they arrive and then they will go for a walk and taste food from that city, which means that They will make the economic market in that city more liquid, and when people start working in that casino and receiving their salaries, they will be able to greatly improve the lives of their families, so the casino also has very good aspects for society. There are cases of some people who became rich thanks to gambling

This means that these people who became rich thanks to gambling, are investing money in other businesses and consequently are creating more jobs and are paying taxes to the government, all thanks to gambling. It's true that there are people who lose when they gamble, but the government and the casino don't lose anything. the casino pays taxes to the government regardless of having many people losing

In fact, if people could consider gambling as entertainment, they would not abuse gambling as a place to make money. They will only gamble moderately without any desire to win the gambling game. They will also always apply limits when gambling so they don't get into trouble.

But because gambling can have a negative impact, people don't like gambling and even distance themselves from gambling. They will also always warn people in their environment not to gamble, let alone gamble enough.

Of course, a large tax will be imposed, just like the cigarette tax, tax will be beneficial for the country's own finances and tax is the biggest source of income so if the country legalizes gambling, casino owners will definitely provide a large tax, maybe around 10%, but that depends on the country itself. Indeed, gambling has benefits if used well, but sometimes there are people who abuse gambling and gambling is considered a bad act due to this abuse.

However, in my own country, gambling is illegal. There has been no serious action regarding whether gambling will be legalized in society because if gambling is legalized in society, there will probably be many people who gamble openly and this will be a bad example for the younger generation, just like smoking nowadays. There are already a lot of teenagers who smoke because people do it openly, so in my opinion, if gambling is legalized in my country, maybe teenagers will take part in this activity, of course you can judge for yourself, that's why gambling is illegal in my country

This has a bad impact on society because they expect too much profit and are not sure they will get it. If people can understand it, it will have a positive impact, namely not having too much hope and following time and betting limits so that they don't experience many losses there. and they also get pleasure as entertainment with friends.

I agree with you, that gambling has more negative impacts than positive impacts, because people cannot control themselves when they gamble excessively and only chase the winnings they want.

Gambling giving hope to people playing and staking bets in hopes of a big win someday is not an advantage in any way and certainly not impacting positively in any way to the society. Having hopes of winning a life changing amount due to gambling is more like a dream.
Gambling may have some positive impacts as it’s considered a recreational activity by many. But it’s negative effects apparently visible in irresponsible people in the society has by a large margin, overshadowed any positive effects it may have ever had.

Long ago, when gambling was still legal in my country. the profits they get will be distributed according to what has been designed by the state. Coincidentally, gambling in my country used to be managed by the government. There are many benefits that can be enjoyed by citizens of the country, apart from the main priority being to support sports activities. like funding athletes and all kinds of things, infrastructure is also a part of government projects.

Unfortunately, with various factors and contrary to a belief. In the end, gambling becomes gray and becomes illegal. and what is most unfortunate, traditional gambling, which has actually been part of culture since ancient times, has also been affected. Despite all that, in fact, this has not stopped street gambling practices among the community. In fact, this gives rise to illegal activities and is often exploited by people who want to cheat and enrich themselves. and this doesn't stop someone from becoming an addict even though the government has made it illegal.

And referring to what you said, that should be the case, in particular the government is also taking part in efforts to protect its citizens from addiction by creating bodies or rehabilitation centers for gambling addicts. I really agree, if gambling in my country is legalized again. Rather than today, there are thousands of unlicensed online fiat casinos. can we believe it, of course not at all. fortunately, I am involved in a crypto casino and it is better than a fiat casino which somehow we can claim their reputation especially as they are not licensed.

What the government is mostly interested in is tax and nothing more than that. They can enforce strict laws when they noticed that the effect of gambling is becoming more addictive to their citizens and the best way to curb the addiction can be utilize. Gambling is what most people see as a means to avert poverty especially in a region where there is no job for people to do and feed their families. Anything we can lay our hands on we need to do that so that we can become a better persons and have a better lifestyle than depending on the profits we make from gambling without anytime else to depend on.

We are really just that indeed trying to make focus into its cons without even trying to look for its usage or benefits.

The tax revenues from gaming help states pay for projects like education, infrastructure, economic development, and other state-funded services. Gaming also helps many communities to create local jobs and grow their tourism industries. Source

This is something that always talk about tax revenue on which i do agree on what been mentioned that it would really be that having that kind of beneficial thing
when it comes to economic and other possible things that could be applied when in talks about development or something.
So it does play a crucial part.

Each countries or places does have their own jurisdictions and decisions towards things on which there are really places on which they are really that being banned or being allowed or legalized but its true that this isnt something that could be totally be blocked out specially into those people who are really that tech savvy or something that do knows about the basics of internet on which trying out to bypass yourself without being caught and this is something which it would really be that a normal reaction into those gamblers who are really that serious on trying out to play despite of those bans.

Importance of Gambling to the society then it would be mainly be talking about its relevance when it comes to tax revenue on which we know that this is really that useful for economical
upgrades and enhancements and a little bit in concern about giving entertainment to people on which i dont see for it to be that much needed but somewhat
some people do really love on getting involved with those leisure things despite of spending up tons of money.

Gambling is completely banned in the country where I live. There are no officially sanctioned casinos in my country. If the people of my country are addicted to gambling, there can be administrative trouble against them. However, even though gambling is banned in my country, gambling does not stop, but people participate in gambling secretly. I have seen that people who are addicted to gambling are very stigmatized in the society and people in the society look at them in a very stigmatized way. In my country there is no profit in gambling rather people hate  people for gambling more.

Benefits for the country don't come only through taxes for the government, but also through jobs opportunities the industry creates for local citizens. Moreover, if you want to calculate how much money people lose daily, you also have to add the different products and services they consume for a living, food, health, security and entertainment, that is where gambling is included. When we calculate only financial losses from gambling and ignore the entertainment value it has, we are actually considering it an investment, as we consider positive financial returns a must, which is wrong, since this kind of mindset can only lead to considerable losses and frustration over results.

Countries where gambling is officially sanctioned receive large sums of money from gambling establishments, due to which the government's coffers are somewhat rich through taxes on those gambling establishments. If gambling is allowed in a country, it is a gain for the government, but the government is thinking of its people as well as its treasury. If I try to explain the matter in a simple way, then it is said that the gambling company paid a tax of one dollar annually to the government, on the contrary, the people of that country lost ten dollars by gambling in that gambling company, then the profit is definitely the gambling company. A government losing ten dollars from its own country hoping to gain $1 can never be good news for the country or society.

One important aspect of gambling is that it provides employment opportunities for a lot of people. Those that manages these casinos are well paid from the proceed of gambling and that is a huge relief for the government in terms of unemployment rate.

In my country, gambling shops are located almost in every major streets, engaging three to four persons in active job. This is how many young school leavers make a living until they find bigger jobs.

In addition to this, gambling also give hope to those who might have been hopeless because of poverty. Through gambling, they somehow hope that one day they will win and change their situation.

Gambling indeed have many positive impacts on the society.

They may be able to enjoy gambling, but they are also likely to experience gambling addiction, and it may also be more severe than adults because they have been exposed to gambling from an early age. What's worse is that if they have become addicted to gambling, they will not understand when they have to stop gambling and do other things at their productive age and only want to gamble. The impact of gambling can be higher than in previous generations, especially as today's young generation has been exposed to better technology than previous generations. They can also gamble secretly without anyone knowing, so this will speed up the gambling addiction process that can occur to them. Maybe the impact of gambling on society will be higher, but that depends on each person's readiness to treat gambling as entertainment. But for a wider impact, perhaps a small amount of the money earned by the winner can be donated to communities in need so that there is a positive impact that the people around them also feel.
