however much consideration is taken from countries that legalize gambling and reject gambling. Countries that legalize gambling certainly don't just count the profits they will get from this business. but also from the abilities and interests of the majority of the population.
say in developing countries, where there are still many people who live with sufficient or even less income. If gambling is legalized, this will trigger people who lack capital but are addicted to gambling to criminal acts.

Countries that legalize gambling have of course considered the impact and benefits of this profitable business on their society.

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.

A man may think of gambling as his entertainment when he feels bored at work. Here the gambler will find at least some human solace but it is expected to be a personal matter but indirectly contribute to the society to some extent. However, we know directly about some things such as when a casino is opened, employment will be created there, government institutions will get tax and various types of business can be created around that casino. These are directly related to the development of the society. There are many places in the world that people know only for the casino. So I think gambling has immense importance socially as well.

Usually the reason why gambling is legalized is not because the government thinks they are opening a goldmine and will make so much money. The reason is that if they don't legalize it, the black market for gambling opportunities will explode and spread like wildfire especially on the Internet. That's why some states legalize it and raise a certain amount of tax on the activities or winnings and profits made by the casino if they are registered correctly.

Really no government (maybe except for Las Vegas) thinks about casinos as valuable employers. The tax money that casinos pay is used to cure the problems that casinos create. It doesn't contribute to society in a net positive way.

Many governments and businessmen think about gambling as a valuable activity for the local economies of their areas. I remember during the pandemic news about closing physical casinos in Macau were shared here, due to coronavirus spread. Then many people got shocked and worried, because Macau's economy fully relied on gambling tourism to survive. Most local citizens would lose their jobs and income, directly or indirectly. Gambling is essential on their lives and the government must be aware about it. That is how they boost the local economy with foreigner income.

Some countries export goods to another countries to boost the economy. In their case, tourists go to their region and spend all their money at casinos, hotels and restaurants. Without gambling they would be doomed.

The reality is gambling is part of human society ever since humanity exists.
So the government can just contain it by legalizing its operations, and in so doing, get the tax from it.
Because if not, it will just continue to operate, just like you said via black market.
It may be resolving some problems created by the gambling itself, but we can't totally discard this industry.
We have to accept this industry and just look for the positive impact it can bring to the community.
Eradication of this is not possible. So one thing to do is to remind gamblers to gamble responsibly.

Gambling has a lot of significant, important, and social advantages in society, it serves as a form of entertainment and recreational activities,moreover, people from all formwork of life want to enjoy their freedom, and that includes doing what they like and want with their money which in return allow them to get cash reward and the opportunity to also be involved in gaming activity, this lead to more overall growth for the gambling market. Increased gambling opportunities can offer advantages to consumers, government, and businesses. The Gambling Act however has played an important role in the deregulation of gambling at the marketing level and has enabled the reduction of associated crime and the protection of young vulnerable people.

The entertainment level of gambling is actually relatively high in society, besides, gambling is building people's awareness about the bright and dark side of money, money comes very hard but money disappears in just a few minutes that we decide. Except these things, on another level, when your country owns casinos, it is a significant source of income from tourists. But of course, people coming to gambling in this society also change their souls too much, a turning point that turns part of society in a negative direction.

Entertainment, and yeah I guess taxes. I kmwo with the US brick and morter casinos the states make huge taxes off them. Same with lotteries. I think net/net it's a wash in terms of societal benefit. Yes it raises money but the dark side of it, is it ruins families for people who can't control what and when to gamble.

Gambling can bring great revenue to the governments but I don't see any benefits to the societies,in fact it can only bring really bad things,like in the country where I live from some years where at a certain time a lot of people became addicted in the sense that they could not stay without gambling and they were spending money they could not afford to lose like money they get for food and other important money.At a certain point the government intervened and ban all of the offline gambling while letting only online ones,a few to play,so I don't see any other benefits except taxes to the government while for society can have more harm than benefit.

Offline gambling and casinos can create employment for some persons but this people as well stand risk of becoming gamblers and in some cases addicted and they may spend all their earnings on gambling because it's where they work and it's in their face everyday, they see people win and that could be enticing and probably a source of motivation to some of them to continue gambling.

Revenue generation for the government is also an impact casinos and gambling centers could have on the society, although online gambling or Casinos may escape this, although am not very sure as this is not verifiable but then generally the offline casino tends to generate income for the government as they are been tasked on their establishment in wherever they are located

Aside the above stated I can't possibly think of any good impact it may have on the society as it sometimes turns a menace to the society especially amongst those who get addicted, spend all their money on gambling and falling into depression and in some cases may become suicidal or venture into stealing and other harmful practices. Although gambling when regulated and played with caution could generate some money for someone.

One cannot doubt the fact that gambling has had either negative impact or positive impact in people's Ife today all over the world.The positive impact are as follows:
It gives one chance to make money quick.
It engages one.It makes you self employed.
It makes one become current about what is happening in the world of sports.While,the negative impact of gambling is that it turns you into the person you were not.So many persons that are addicted to gambling today didn't know they would gamble and become addicted gambers when they first started,but consistent gambling makes you become what you never wanted to be.It also makes people to steal.etc,these and many more are some negative impact of gambling.

If people could use gambling as entertainment and nothing more, gambling could become a recreational activity. But unfortunately, many people cannot use gambling as entertainment; instead, they try gambling to make money. And if the country where they live allows gambling, of course, gambling can provide benefits to that country because tax money is a source of income for the country. But not for those who live in countries that do not allow gambling because the government will punish those who gamble. And even though the state doesn't get income from gambling, that's okay because the state still gets income from other business places. So whether gambling is important or not for society will depend on the government's permission for gambling.

however much consideration is taken from countries that legalize gambling and reject gambling. Countries that legalize gambling certainly don't just count the profits they will get from this business. but also from the abilities and interests of the majority of the population.

It is like that, well on the other hand I understand that the government needs large funds for example to build the country's infrastructure to make it stronger and more advanced, yes it is indeed good for the development of the country but in my opinion the government should not seek the allocation of money from the gambling defeat of its people, especially from the taxes deposited, because it is clear as I said above maybe for the beginning it will run smoothly but do you know what the real impact of gambling will be in the next few years, I am sure if it is legalized then many people will not only be addicted but they will also become dependent on gambling and always expect a clear victory that is not always certain there.

This is definitely not a small problem and cannot be allowed, I'm sure if in the end it happens then it is certain that the crime rate in the country will increase over time, because as I said above there is no other way they can make a solution to make money quickly to gamble, especially in the midst of a difficult economy like today, maybe the government aims to improve the economy better but this is not a solution but a disaster that knows no end time.

In accordance with the wishes of the community, the government may not interfere with the results of gambling carried out by the community, such as depositing tax money for government financial income, but in reality this is an obligation that must be carried out and if it is not carried out, then the people will bear the consequences.
Yes, that's right, because it is difficult to earn money nowadays, they have turned into gamblers who only hope for luck, even though this will not necessarily increase their income, it will actually create new problems in their lives. Again, self-control is up to each person. Those who are good at gambling will certainly not commit criminal acts and can manage the money they spend while playing and not just spend their time gambling, doing useful activities to get real financial benefits in everyday life.

Honestly, it is quite confusing if there is a country that legalizes and allows its people to gamble just to get a big tax there, it is clearly unexpected, especially if the government seems to convince its people that they can get a lot of money there. How is it possible that the government, which should protect and protect the community, instead gives way to go into the abyss just for the sake of money, I can't think anymore.

And well as I said above the economy is now difficult, not just in one country but like it has spread in many countries, they have difficulty in finding money for living needs, and back again for the beginning maybe this is like a solution for people especially the poor to improve their finances but obviously the impact will not be felt immediately, but the next few years they will really have difficulty living if with the many losses in gambling if they really depend on gambling. That's right friends, this is not a solution but instead will cause a lot of new problems, well okay maybe there is self-control, but if they continue to do it because this action is like common because the government has legalized it then surely gradually they will also be addicted. So the point is this is not a solution but the beginning of a country's downfall.

For me gambling was more about fun, than something serious. I think the role of gambling in society is another source of entertainment, yet only individuals only have serious life changing problems with gambling. Remove gambling from society, and we would get a huge number of people who wont know how to relax, to release steam. I am not talking about addicted people right now. Remove gambling, and a lot of people wont know what to do. Who knows what those people could do during free time. Who knows what bad things some people would do, when they can be busy gambling instead.

If the society is to cancel gambling today, there are going to be lots of jobless people without hope and future. I understand that even a gambler hate to see people say gambling is addictive but with time, I realizes that is true because been addicted to something doesn't mean you become irresponsible, you can be addicted to pressing your phone each time you wake up from the bed in the morning, does that affect? Maybe individual difference answers will be different but to me, there is none and this is same to gambling. With addiction, people see gambling as means to make some cool cash any day luck shines on you.

If gambling doesn't exist tomorrow, there is going to be a decline in sport activity, some people will not have something that will motivate them again because gambling and sports are mutually inclusive. Don't be surprised if the world experience increased in alcohol in take because may people take their time to gamble and have fun instead of alcohol consumptions.

Both drinking alcohol and gambling can be addictive, but the only difference is that drinking does not make you profitable at all unlike what gambling does especially to lucky gamblers. That is why gambling creates more opportunities to make money, but only for those who really know how to manage their gambling habits and expense. Also, gambling can be a good source for socialization wherein you can go out from your comfort zone and develop new skills that pertains to gambling. However, it’s still important to gamble with caution as that will keep you safe from the danger in gambling.

On the time that addictions goes into the point on being that too severe then this is where problems do really start because criminal acts or illegal doings would really be the main thing that comes up into your mind.
This is why it would really be that always important that you should really be having that kind of control when it comes to your actions despite of that addiction then better not to commit out some foolish actions because once things do happen then pretty sure it would really be ending up on a disaster because this is where things turns out to be a mess if you dont have that kind of control.

Gambling addiction will only become dangerous for society if the addicted person lacks financial stability. That is because when the addicted person runs out of money but the urge to gamble keeps teasing them, they can think of doing anything just to get some money so that they can continue their gambling activities, and in pursuit of money, as you said, they can go to any extent like committing severe crimes like kidnapping people, robbing shops or people, etc.

However, if a person has money because they are rich or maybe have some income streams, and they get addicted, they wouldn't be a threat for society as long as they have money to keep gambling. Once they lose everything, they might start becoming dangerous as well and might harm others for money.

Well that's right guys, this is what is really scared, that's why I think there must always be some people (gamblers) who always get advice from some of their colleagues or family maybe not to be too excessive in gambling, because this is what they are afraid of. As we know if gamblers have entered the stage of high addiction until they run out of everything they have then the only way they think it's like a solution for them is to commit a crime or crime, Many cases appear in the news that they commit theft in gold shops or commit robbery to rob the victim's valuables and the reason is that they want to gamble but don't have money because they have spent it all on gambling, honestly this is very sad and I hope people who are still gambling to be firm with themselves to reduce the level of gambling or better stop completely even though it is difficult, but I am sure you can.

Oh well in my opinion, if they are already in a position like this, any control will be useless because it's too late, they are almost completely dominated by lust and curiosity lodged in their brains. Honestly I don't fully agree with this thread that says gambling is important for society, yes maybe that's according to the government who is concerned with the amount of tax from gambling, but for the whole it is clear that this is detrimental to society, slowly everyone's economic problems will definitely increase, I think the government should be concerned with the impact on society, not instead concerned with the money they get, I think this is the main point that should be considered.

That's right, friend, if that happens, it will be very dangerous and detrimental to yourself and others, because if someone is going to do something like that, he should think clearly because the consequences will be very fatal for him because he can't control what he will do. . Do. If you are addicted and try not to harm others.
In my opinion, the importance of gambling in society still has pros and cons, because everyone's opinions and feelings are clearly different, there are those who agree because the large taxes that must be paid to the government will certainly help state revenues, on the other hand, those who disagree because gambling will definitely harm society. because it is not certain that finances will change for the better, it will instead be a disaster for society itself.

quite agree with what you say that the gambling industry provides quite a lot of taxes to the government which will be used for people's welfare. but sadly in some countries gambling is prohibited and this makes the gambling industry not develop at all in some areas.

it is true that governments have reasons why they prohibit gambling, usually against the norms of the country, the majority religion, or uneducated citizens. however, the fact is that in countries where gambling is prohibited, gambling activities are still ongoing and still generate profits. it is a shame that the government does not receive taxes from this gambling activity, even though if it were allowed it would be able to provide quite a lot of money to the government which they could use to develop their country.

No, the real question is how governments do their maths because governments are usually only responsible for a certain period of time. In the short term tax income from gambling could be positive for a government in charge, but 3 terms later the government might be confronted with the collateral damage caused by a gambling addict.

Imagine a father of three experiences some hard fate in life and drifts into addictions, a little bit of alcohol first and then gambling. The family is doing ok, finances are ok. But now the father goes nuts and ruins the family altogether. No money left, children grow up in poverty, wife wants to be divorced and also suffers from debt.
The long term cost of this scenario are probably crazy when you measure it as the difference of what that family would have turned into without those issues and then contributed to the GNP and tax income of the state, and now that they are all broke, lack potential education and are caught in the hamster wheel, potentially needing welfare. That is the true cost that addicts can cause.

Well, we don't know that for sure because what was conveyed was already in the form of a report submitted to the people, so the people just had to accept it at face value. They also won't know where the numbers in the report come from. After that short period, maybe they will issue another report and present it to the public so that the public knows their financial position. But I don't know, I'm not sure, and I'm just guessing.

The impact felt by the family from your illustration really destroyed the family and made their lives suffer greatly in poverty. And maybe the government doesn't touch them because the existing reports only reach certain officials and are not submitted to the centre.

And yes, it will cause long-term losses, especially if more people suffer because of problems not immediately addressed by the government. And perhaps that will have an impact on the country, making its economy disrupted. The problem is too complicated for ordinary people like me to think about. Hopefully, the government can pay attention and not use tax money arbitrarily, even though that will happen.
