Topic: Importance of Gambling to the society - page 7. (Read 2826 times)

Hello @ OP, I totally agree with you as long as I am a responsible gambler, I would still maintain my Lane.
Gambling is a means of proffering income and that is what is is invented for and not to generate taxation revenues to the society even though taxes are remitted on the process.
No one is Worth compromising my goals on gambling evening though I looses on several occasions that offers profitable enshrinement to the gambling board.
My goal of gambling is not to profits the society in any way but to win and assist my financial challenges then if I happens to loose let the game seemed to profer importance to the society.
Nevertheless should we still fail to agitate to bring more gamblers on board but still on conditionally fails to spread the outcome of gambling considering of its goal is gone contrarily to the gambler (s).

Provided they pay their tax and they are very much taxable, the government will be more focused on that benefits they derive from the gambling houses so they just get their tax and let them do their business until it turns out their business turns out a menace to the society.

Even taxes on the workers in these gambling house are something the government will not reject because they will be beneficial to them, they only put out regulations to making sure these gambling house or sites are not defaulting within the rules of operations in that region but then it turns out that there are some of them that appears illegal but the are still taxed and you have got no influence against them because the government benefits from them.

Haven't found much benefits of gambling in my society at all. This is kind of entertainment. Otherwise If people lost more money in casinos and gambling websites, authorities can generate more revenue and thus they could provide huge taxes to their government and make contribution to development hospital, school, Charity and etc in their country? but at the end, impact will be seen in people's daily life after losing in gambling. Those people may start suffering due to lack of money or could involving illegal activities to manage gambling fund for next day. And thus the procedure will be continued? Actually gambling is an entertainment, it is fine if it can be under control and until your society people get addicted. And i like the idea how government allow casinos for others people but not want from their citizens to get involved

The gambling against countries was mostly the Islamic based country,because the gambling was the haram in their religious book.So some of the muslim friend will not play the gambling game,even I said them to give 1000 dollars as the gift for the one game.Only few people doesn’t follow their law,because they believe the practical knowledge then the religious law.Many Islamic people preaches their people not to involve in the gambling,but the other then muslim people will use the gambling for their entertainment.

Countries that prohibit gambling certainly do not want to accept gifts from gambling companies and prefer to accept gifts from others. And people also don't want to get or use facilities that come from gambling money because they think gambling is illegal. However, some owners then use other methods that obscure gambling so that the public or even the state will accept gifts from gambling companies. If this is the case, gambling companies should not force themselves to give prizes, and perhaps it would be better for them to use other approaches so that they will have the opportunity to receive the prize.

In the country where you live gambling may be legal so that there is benefit for the community with support or financial assistance for health care provided by casino business owners.
But unfortunately not all countries have legalized gambling because there are considerations about the risk of negative impacts from gambling and there are still countries that are predominantly religious with very strict rules regarding gambling activities.

But some government people actually use gambling for personal gain such as the taxes given by all gambling sites are taken and used for personal needs things like this happen lot in the government institutions of the country where I live.

Actually the concept is not like that because people will definitely gamble and spend money in every gambling session so what will make the country economy improve?
Maybe there will be benefits for the country and some groups of society but not all people will improve the economy because they don't necessarily have limits to when gambling.

Just imagine when there is a charity activity and the people who are entitled to the charity actually use the money as gambling capital is this worthy of being called economic improvement?

Are you sure that all the gambling casinos would pay taxes to the government? I highly doubt that.

Yeah in countries, where the casinos are being operated physically, they will have to declare their profits and give taxes but what about those online virtual casinos which may be hosted on remote servers and no one knows from where they are operated and no one could take action against those casinos.

The regulations with online casinos are still very relaxed and many casinos operate without giving any shares to the government agencies.

This only applies to countries where gambling is legal, this will make the people happy and very helpful for their life. But there may have problem when the country has banned the gambling. The citizen have idealism to do not use the facilities form money that get from ilegal money. This is still debate in my country's forums even use that money for sport sponsor, the people still not accepted and get noisy to return the money.

Its potentially true in every country, gambling is often vital revenue to the government.  Thats not charity but governments often carry out essential services, in a recession the government can go broke or forced to suspend any investment and support to society if it were not for industry where revenue and profits are so reliable they pay out every year.
    We know the odds on gambling mean sometimes winners take more then losers will give on a day, that is the casino is losing or giving away money on that day.  However overall its a very reliable revenue stream which means its beneficial and outside the normal economic cycle and that contagious recession and failure that can occur.

If that's the case, obviously it just makes sense to just keep the major profits for them to be able to operate and support their own operational cost. These casinos are mostly private and not owned by the government and giving to charity is not really their priority.

Not to thank them for their good deeds but good thing some casinos are doing that.


Honestly, same here as well. Mostly, it's the lottery that is being funded by the government is the one that meant for charitable works and supporting some of the government projects and not those private casinos. I'm sure there are casinos that really doing that good deeds but not exposing it that much to the public.

Moreover, these casinos provided jobs too and helping to minimize the unemployement rate, at least.

It's not true, but that is the reality on the ground which has been proven, because if someone is crazy about money then he will act as he pleases without caring about the suffering experienced by his people, all he can think about is profit and happiness. of the individual or group itself.
Yes, it's true, not gambling excessively is the best thing to avoid addiction, and I agree that if you want to gamble, use a clear mind to minimize the risks we will experience later.

So in reality, the gambling casino will take money from rich people (as only the people with money can gamble and all the money lost goes to the casino), and they distribute it to the poor people through charity. This is one way of helping people but again the casino will not charity all the money, they will keep the major profits with them.


To be honest, this is the first time I am hearing of gambling casinos involved in charity work. Previously it was a perception that gambling casinos mostly focus on their own earnings and do not care about society and all that gambling addictions.

Yes, it is true that if country legalizes gambling and has a tax law for gambling businesses, I am sure that the country's economy is much better, but for a country that prohibits gambling businesses or prohibits any type gambling activity, it does look little bad in terms economic needs.
Sometimes I think that if all countries legalized gambling business there would be no bad poverty because in this case we all know income from gambling and course the taxes provided to the country are able to help poor people to get more adequate economic assistance.

this is a good topic for discussion. in my country, many sites that are related to gambling are very closely related to charity; they buy ambulances and also help hospitals, this is a good deed. It is good when companies have a profit and are ready to share it at the level of government assistance.

What I consider from all this is that if you can address a problem as relevant as addiction, it is easy for many to be able to do something, first of all you have to do with relevant things, like being in a casino does not mean that the player is addicted , second If the player plays a lot of time and wins, he is successful but not addicted, and thirdly, if the player is not rich, he gambles a lot and commits all of his money and can also do bad things like treating his family badly, starting to arrive drunk, lending money uncontrolled way and put at risk the good life of the people around them, I think that these things are what we should do so that they can take details.

A person who is the father of a family, head of the family and who suddenly goes out of control in a casino and begins to do many improper things , such as spending money for his children, for his wife, doing the market, service expenses, I have to clean your house, I think it is something quite dangerous, and that can lead to the ruin of any person, because even a person who does something like that is very irresponsible and deserves not to be forgiven for that, because before putting their enjoyment as the first option because they have a responsibility towards their family, and even towards society, because by harming their own family they put society or the people around them in a difficult situation, because obviously the people who are close to the family they go to help their family, in these very difficult times, because it is not so good to Be able to help people because everything is very expensive, expensive, and that is what is evident to the society or person who are around a possible problem like this , it can even turn into a state problem, these things can become very delicate, but of course, it is always the responsibility of the Person who is in a casino to play , that is why I believe that a addicted Person can bring multiple problems.

In my opinion, the reality is like that, it is inappropriate for the government to have a policy that clearly does not make sense and the impact will clearly harm the community only for the sake of profit and one-sidedness. Of course, I also think that way, indirectly behind the scenes there must be some government elements who enjoy the money from the tax, as we know the number of corruption in several countries is quite increasing and there must be something, it could be that each individual person takes a few percent of the tax deposited for them to enjoy themselves or increase their wealth, while the victims are their own people with various financial problems that always come.

In addition, it is true friends, we are only ordinary people and ordinary people who cannot do anything and surely the average will just follow what the government recommends, but if it does happen and is really legalized then I hope most people have to think clearly, they have to think about the bad effects of gambling activities themselves. It will only add to the problem, in my opinion it is better for them to avoid gambling, or not to overdo it, because it is clear that the impact is very bad and even if they want to try it, they must remain in good self-control, so that they are not trapped in addiction.

Here in our country, our government has supported gambling, which is also under the government agency. Each casino has a charity program that is carried out. From what I see, literally speaking, it also helps people in need who can't afford medicines, those who don't have enough to pay for the hospital, and so on.

Which means the gambling casino also really helps here because of the charity program they have. If you look at it, if there are no gamblers, the charity program will not be able to realize their desire to help the needy who approach the government agency here.

Logically it might be considered inappropriate, but in reality it is proven and done. Even though it is done secretly so as not to be discovered, some governments also enjoy the proceeds from gambling taxes that are deposited.
We are only ordinary people, of course we will obey and comply with this.

No! Turning a bind eye to the negative impact it has on society is stupid and generates countless of problems. What you said is literal equal to "we can't prevent people from drinking alcohol, so we just focus on the good stuff that alcohol does for the community". I say no! There are tons of treatment programs in terms of alcoholism and prevention thereof. The fact of the matter is that gambling as an excessive activity or even health issue is highly problematic and entails severe consequences for society as a whole. The difference between gambling and alcohol is that alcohol related issues can be calculated more easily in monetary terms. The consequences are very visible and people sometimes go into a hospital and demand treatment. Gambling, when people destroy their promising future, is much harder to detect and also to quantify. It's like the dopamine threshold for people to become happy is getting destroyed. Why can't the person who has to gamble to become happy and produce sufficient dopamine not just watch a movie in the cinema? It is because the kick isn't there. If the person does both, that's good, but if gambling turns into the only "hobby" someone has, that's already highly dangerous.

Of course, before legalizing gambling, the government must research gambling in their country and pay attention to the community and its impact on the community. The government also needs to make regulations that not everyone is allowed to gamble and there are special requirements they need to comply with before they gamble. If they can comply with the rules, they are allowed to gamble but must have clear boundaries to avoid problems that could arise later.

Yes, countries where it is legal have learned what they need to do, especially to overcome the impact of gambling if it exists. And the government must also be ready if the impact begins to be felt in society. Actually, this depends on the government's attitude towards gambling, so they must research everything before legalizing gambling in their country.
