Topic: Is Casino Community Service Possible? (Read 393 times)

Casinos are not charities and nor are any other companies. They should be paying a fair amount of tax and that is up to the politicians / law makers of individual countries to decide. That tax, as part of the whole tax take of the country can then be put towards these things like maintaining infrastructure, paying for the fire service, trash management and all those other things that keep society functioning. It would actually be worse if casinos tried to impact communities like this, because it could be construed as a bribe and taken away if they wanted to wield power later on. If they want to host small scale events for free, that can be a kind gesture but they should never be relied on for much else.

Well, I think a successful game campaign would be for people to become aware of how they should spend or use their money, and it depends on how it can be spent. A person who has a high financial education will never be an addicted gambler, if a person is addicted because they have to start strengthening their financial education so that when that person has money they do not spend it unnecessarily and fall into addiction, I believe that campaigns can be carried out to increase financial education so that they avoid falling into these temptations such as addiction, well It is a way that I see that a general solution can be directed.

But still campaign I stick is still not enough, I mean is that even casino's will do campaign or raise campaign about addiction awareness in gambling, the decision or activity will still depend on the gamblers on how much activity they will do and they are the one that will make themselves as addicted to gambling, and also I'm sure there are only a few casinos that are doing campaign about gambling awareness or anti-gambling addiction because for sure those casino owners will be greedy and will not let their customer to be limited in gambling or playing, so no matter how many casinos are raising anti-gambling addiction, if there are more casinos that's not doing it then the gamblers that will be addicted will not be reduced. But yeah, it will be a good thing if more and more gambling platforms do community service by doing anti-addiction campaigns in gambling.

Yes, of course things with the casinos are quite good in terms of community services, it is necessary for every casino to start Seeing things as they are, what affects the most is the issue of addiction and many people are in trouble. With that, if we see a casino that is committed to the problem of addiction , then things are different, the casino is seen differently, and it would begin to be seen as one of the casinos most committed to social problems, and that makes that the casino raises its reputation much more, sometimes these types of Acts focused on solving Problems of this style Look very Good and are Better advertising than the same Advertising of bonuses, contests and everything that a casino can do.

Aside that it'll help the publicity of the casino positively, the impact of helping addicted players in the community is quite broad. Most addicts after getting revived through the help of the casino will still go back to gambling. But, may be, this time, responsibly. A lot of compulsive players also don't get to afford therapy sessions, but with the help of casinos lots of willing addicts will get cured. Allowing them unwatched or uncared for, will bring more trouble to the society or community where they inhabit.

It's also a better moment to correct the perspectives of non addicts to avoid completely compulsive forms of gambling. On the other hand, casinos in multiple numbers could be interested in rendering this help like their competitors, but not all casinos are strongly firm. Some could go bankrupt if they don't carefully make out the best time to render the community service. Running a casino is not simple. So, I don't expect lots of them to join this notion of giving back to the society. Yet, I'm impressed with the ones who have decided to help the addicted gambler in their own little ways. It's most appreciated.

I acknowledge that some casinos are indeed resorting to launching anti-addiction campaigns as a way to deal with problem gambling. The effort involves detailed analysis of addiction-related aspects and establishment of partnerships with clinics for community-based conferences at state levels. It is not a legal requirement for all casinos, but it is an initiative that some are adopting as part of their social responsibility.

Moreover, there are certain casinos that offer donations to the most affected populations by various global issues such as war. This can be seen as part of their community service. Although not all casinos take this path, there are some striving to make a positive contribution back to society. Therefore, I find these actions depict that there are some casinos which do take interest and involvement in the community seriously.

I think there are casinos that launch an anti-addiction campaign, these are just for them to analyze everything related to fighting addictions with different rabbits, going to clinics, holding conferences on addictions in communities, states and well, this can be taken as an action of these, although casinos are not obliged to do so, when there is a problem worldwide they make donations, with respect to wars there are casinos that make donations to the most affected populations, I think this falls into the community work of a casino, of course that not everyone does it, but there are some that do, so I think that falls within that range of aspects of community work.

Even if they can't do a community service themselves but as long as they are already paying a good amount of tax, I guess that's still fine? Because, maybe some of these taxes will also go in the community.

I think no casino is forced to do it but they can only do it if they have extra. We can say that it's a kind of expense and they can use the money for something else which they can benefit more but there are people that they can feel good once they help someone else. It still can give them a good publicity and maybe many people will now support them after it. Casino can run automatically and they can hire staffs, so activities like this is possible if they want it to happen.

I believe they getting involved in such sponsorship would be very much important for them so they will have to play a role to suit their purpose so that they get announced as you have said. I think it is another strategy by the casino to gain publicity to market their products.  By doing this, they get popular within that region and also traffic to their casino would be a guarantee since they have been announced as the official sponsors of the function that held within the environment they are making them look good in the eyes of the gamblers within that region.

Our casino industry plays a major part in not only building our economy but also contributing to fill the coffer of our government It is meant to help the poor sector of our economy


Gambling is very much legal in our country even though we are the only Christian country in the Southeast, but even if gambling is legal in our country, we have a strong restriction on allowing youth to play in casinos, and our casinos are targeting the rich sector of our society; hence the country is profiting from the casino operation, but it is not putting bad effects in the society.

There is this saying that "there is nothing new under the sun," which makes me believe that many casinos would be doing community services or similar things to that. They could be sponsoring some people's educations, have foundations, donate to welfare and many more. The issue is that this is more local than international for everyone to know, and the fact that many are now turning to online casinos that are not operating in their home countries will never let them know what is happening in the local countries of the casinos. Also, some owners of casinos will be philanthropists, and of course, that will always be channelled to something beneficial/productive, and many will even have their own foundations and support groups, political affiliation for donations, and fund support groups for the benefit of the society.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to provide you with any links now, but I said all that because I know of some local casinos in my country doing all that. Will many know about it if they (the casinos and them) are not in the same country? And the fact that some casinos are not even operating globally (have their presence in all countries of the world) will never allow some people who are using their services online to know what they are doing in their closets.

Well it would be lovely to know or see that casinos render community services  to gamblers that would be a very good marker strategy asides the social media platforms which most casinos used in marketing their business currently, Well any casinos that does that would attract a lot of audience and would generate more money to themselves cause more customers means more money since they have more winning edge than bettors.

 I must commend those casinos that's created a job opportunity to lots of members here who participate in the gambling campaigns here they're doing a great job, like you said, helping people to create quality gambling posts here in the forum well outside the forum it would be lovely to see them host shows in streets and give out gift items to individuals. Well I really appreciate the effort they make here in the forum they're doing great.

Community Service. I know physical casinos are already doing this as well as those gambling games that are under the control of the government. In our case, it's the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO). They are offering financial help to the people with the use of the profits from the lottery and sweepstakes.

Although, I have not heard yet about an online gambling site that is doing this. I think that is what you are pointing out. Well, we are still in the early stage of the growth of online gambling sites. Perhaps, in the future, we will see them doing this kind of charity for the people, especially in what country they base it. Still, the taxes that they pay should be enough for now and in case they thought about making a community service too, then its a bonus.

Casinos fund many sports by providing income for the leagues and the players. Often they'll be sponsors for association teams, individual players and even perhaps entire leagues for soccer. Also many eSports tournaments are entirely funded by online casino sponsorships.

I'd say it's not something I'd wish for that casinos need to donate to charity though. We should be taking care of people in need as a society and filling the gaps with the means of the state, not expecting from casinos. Because this means they'd need to be big to a level that's unreasonable. I'd say the social responsibility for a casino in terms of our expectations should be for them to do their job fairly, run provably fair games and offer reasonable exclusion options to those that need it. Maybe their social contribution expectation would be getting taxed a bit more to fund gambling addiction programs.

Yeah, I think that many of the casinos are giving back to the community. We don't just follow most of them because it doesn't make sense for us to follow each step that they make. So, whether they give back or not, it's not actually a thing for them to be done because they're a business. But I believe that I've seen before that there are some that does it actually so, I won't be surprised if many of them nowadays have like a yearly giving back and charity to their chosen organization or foundation.

That's the kind of service that they do and not just they're allocating huge taxes to the states or countries where they are located. So, it's a big thing of what they do to the community but on the otherhand, there goes the other people saying that those money that they spend for any affairs that they do are also affecting people that became addicted and have lost their money through gambling with them. But that's the issue of the gambler's and not with the casinos as they're a business.

Those reputable Casinos have a lot of money so they can afford taxes even if the government increase their taxes. And I don't know if some casino will take this kind of doing that they will do such community services cause we are all know that  they can't benefit from it they can't earned a lot of money perhaps they will loss money to this kind of projects and for sure casino will not do such thing. Which is most of a casino don't have time to do this cause what they are actually do is to monitor their casino and collect all the money that they earned from gambling.

Well, there are casino social groups who already did this bit that's by their initiative and no one requires them, actually all of us. Will community service benefit casinos? Nope. Casinos won't have a good image just because they are helping the community. As others have mentioned gambling activities already have higher taxation than with others especially those which are registered on the government. Community service is a good act but that won't be enough for an activity which is believed to be destroying many people's life, be remembered and this is why this is driven only be initiative.Good example actually, this is really what they are more into because casinos will also gain popularity thru sponsorship but other than that, even if they vountarily do a community service, that won't be making things better for its reputation.

If there are no casinos in your community, it is for two reasons, they are prohibited, or the tax payments are not friendly, it is that simple. So, the question is, why governments are not "friends" with casinos, well, it depends on many factors.

But the reality is that you have to ask the person in charge of your community, or in that order, mayor, governors, etc. That is the approach, and to be honest, community service is the responsibility of any individual or company, it is not something that has to be asked for.

I think it is a topic that can be discussed, but perhaps it is more about society and politics, those places or boards.  

Road construction requires a huge amount of money to fund such projects so I don't think any casino company can be so generous to the extent of constructing a road all in the name of rendering community services to the people, they can do some minor projects that will not consume a lot of money to Road construction, even in building construction they may not be able to render such services all they can only do is skills acquisition, buying educational and learning materials to students within the area so these are some petty programmes they can offer instead of major projects.

Ironically, they want to make money more than lose it, and the attention may not be in the way we talk about here. Supporting the community is probably just a small trick in their product marketing plan, perhaps the most common form is that they directly spend on advertising services that are present in their lives depending on the scale campaign model.

But I'm still curious about the difference in what they get in that behavior, because as I understand it, their goal is to make more money, not social spheres.
