Topic: Is Casino Community Service Possible? - page 3. (Read 431 times)

So i'm not sure about community service efforts but I know Seminole Hardrock definitely donates to local charities & I guess that could in a way be synonymous with helping the good of the community & a service to the community through a monetary donation. So in a way that is at least one example of where a casino has made an effort to impact other organizations and an entire community at large by writing a few checks: https://www.morningstar.com/news/pr-newswire/20240514fl14433/20-years-of-impact-seminole-hard-rock-hotel-casino-tampa-commemorates-milestone-with-400000-gift-to-20-tampa-bay-charities I guess a few strokes of the pen would be the act of community service in this case.

Somehow that's true, especially here in our country, the famous land based casinos are not really charitable but not sure because maybe later there are people who support and help them but they don't just broadcast it on the news or any media sites, but when it comes to their employees, they are gallant and even offer scholarship programs for employees, can we consider that as part of their charity works?

I don't think any link or pictures or published stories may be too necessary at this day and age where we know that a business like casino business will try to at the best, operate low-key so as not to attract the wrong kind of crowd, whether they are legally operating or not.

One thing to also bear in mind is that, many atimes, the casinos can be responsible for the outstanding features of the environment they operate within and can do good to the people living around and mostly patronize them or are leaders in the community  they operate in.  Even businesses not casinos do community service without anyone knowing, so why should it be much news if a casino does community service or not?
It is possible in essence, for a casino to do community service without much notice.

Well...
As part of its commitment to protecting the environment, a casino must consider the impact on its own communities and this can be done in several ways. A casino can encourage projects that help local wildlife, improve water quality and reduce carbon emissions. The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2008, for example, requires that casinos reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act, meanwhile, requires casino licenses to follow strict standards of transparency, integrity and public review. Additionally, any casino license must support smart growth policies and set a limit on carbon emissions from its development and vehicles.

Corporate social responsibility is not limited to the environment, but also extends to the health and well-being of the community. While closing the Las Vegas Strip would result in fewer people losing their money, it would also mean thousands of people losing their jobs. Still, the benefits of sustainability do not outweigh the costs of addiction. The sustainability of a casino, including poker betting, tennis betting, is vital to its community, and you can't blame it for wanting to be an example for others.

I believe they indeed exists.
Some weeks ago I read about a casino within Europe (I think it was Sweden), which does not pay taxes because all their revenue/profit is donated for charity programs help by themselves. They only keep enough money so they can continue to operate.
I believe that is a good example, most of the casinos which have those kinds of programs seems to be landbased and have their headquarters in Europe, Australia or Canada. In the United States casinos seems to do those things less often and limit themselves to pay taxes.

I also know stake.com has donated big amounts to Ukraine and LeBron James' foundation.

Yeah, there's no denying that stuff like this also serves as a promotion for their casino but at the end of the day, the gesture has helped people in need. If I was in a dire situation, I probably wouldn't care if people are cashing in on my tragedy lol -- desperate times call for desperate measures lol. Further, one could also say with the amount of money at stake, it possible they could produce better results in other promotional areas.

I don't think it is really necessary, and whoever runs if there is any just for the public stunt and nothing else. As individual we maybe on to different things but to be successful in business it needs to be in the way that it has to be so adding more expenses is going to add the operational cost of casino so why would any casino will do that unless it's required by the law?

Oh my brain assumed if it was possible to render community service in casinos lol, gotta take my morning coffee first I guess. Anyhow, I reckon casinos themselves engage in such activities, or similar to them, kind of like how politicians would suddenly go on and do some activities that show that they're "kind". Now I don't know exactly whether community service has been rendered so far, but at the very least they've done some help to the community.

Not that it serves to do anything imo, it's just peanuts to them and the help rendered isn't supposed to be something we're eternally grateful for. Yea, we can be grateful but that stops there, it's called "community service" for a reason. Pretty similar to how the Govt't keeps pushing out projects that look good, but not ones that really help the people.

MGM Resorts International has a well-known philanthropic arm that supports various community initiatives: Employee Engagement and Volunteering

Caesars Entertainment has its Caesars Foundation that focuses on older individuals, education, and sustainability efforts. HERO is Caesars Entertainment's Team Member volunteer program and their primary community impact initiative. They have a long tradition of Team Members volunteering in their communities with the annual investment of their HEROs reaching thousands of hours of engagement and support of local causes.

I think that's the best community service any casino can render to the society. Helping people understand the importance of responsible gambling. Other ways of giving back only matters in items but wouldn't save any player in trouble. However the compulsive players may not willingly show up to participate in such a program. Since, in their perspective, it doesn't seem to benefit them in anyway. Addictive players get moved by money. Sitting still and getting counselled is a no.

Unless casinos find a way to pay them for attending those therapy sessions, most addicts won't give it a shot. But getting this right will help the casino increase its revenue. Addictive players who have ran out of control can be revived to stay responsible for his family and community. Eradicating the sad publicity gambling has in the society. It'll only take some times. People can begin to realize that gambling is not wrong. New players can as well enroll to avoid getting into a compulsive style of gambling.

yeah, it's not something new, casinos have been donating to charities or helping the community where their casino is built by donating to the local government to help make a small school, a library, a community park, etc... doing these charitable works not only the community it also helps their casino have a good image in the community and to whoever finds out about their charity work. also, if I remember correctly donating money to charity also helps reduce their tax.

here's another link(below) to an article talking about online casinos doing charitable works

If a casino decides to engage in community service, the community service does not have to paint them in a perfect light, like they are unaware of the dangers of addiction that can cause people. The casino has to address the main challenges and create awareness in the community through their community service.

One of the best community services that a casino can provide is massive awareness about the dangers of addiction and the need to gamble responsibly, or campaigns discouraging underage gambling.

If a casino engages in community service as a marketing strategy, they will not only succeed in attracting eligible gamblers; underage gamblers will be attracted as well.

It is nice hearing that you  have heard of casinos doing charity service at their  various locations.  Paying tax is another thing and doing charity is another. If a casino does charity that is a good thing because they felt like giving back to the society and not looking at the fact that they pay tax to the government. I believe they just see that as an obligation they owe the society for the patronage they have been gaining from that particular society or region they are located. Do note that if they do such it would be a big plus to their casino because on the other hand, it is a good marketing strategy for them as they are land casino and would also further need patronage from the community where they are located.

Understand the context of the topic as concerned to be a charity service to the public. You are being employed by your campaign manager to work for him and helping to promote the casino organisation and you get paid for your services. This is a marketing strategy by the casino to promote their services and it is not a free thing because they are paying you for your services compared to the charity done for the community. These two engagements are quite different from one another. Although they are mostly targeted at promoting the casino but that of the public is done for community charity service for the public to see that they're giving back to the society. While that of this platform is targeted at also engaging members to help promote their products because of the presence of possible client they could get from the platform. So it is all a plus plus for all parties involved.

The mistake here is to think the casinos pay taxes, since they have a Curacao license they don't pay taxes, they pay things like a license or pay winnings to gov from the users who fail their KYC, but they don't pay taxes, and if you don't believe me then feel free to google about the tax on casinos in curacao.

But some casinos donate money to sites that help users with gambling problems, they do it to have a clear awareness.

Here in our country, our casinos and lottery platforms are managed and run by the government, and a huge part of the revenues goes to social services like hospitalization and health benefits for the poorest of the poor. In fact, some of our major public hospitals are being sustained by the agencies that run these gambling platforms.

This is the reason why gambling is legal in our country because the huge revenues go to fund projects by our government to serve its poor people.

Just like any other organizations that pays taxes it doesn't stop them from rendering community service to the people because everyone have marketing strategies so they can get involved in community services to give an impression that they are giving back to the society especially for a new casino though sincerely speaking I haven't witnessed any local casinos in my geographic location involved in such free will charity to the people but I have heard of it in other places.

In the forum here, for me the best services casino companies are giving to the forum members is regular and prompt payments to members representing their respective campaigns, almost all the campaigns that advertise their signatures and avatar on this forum makes sure that campaign participants are paid accordingly and some of which offers bonuses for their participants more especially those that makes more quality posts so regardless of the fact that we are marketing this casino companies by wearing their signature and avatars the payments we receive from them is also a way of them showing appreciation to us so community services is done in so many ways, it must not be physical before we can identify it.

They are not really sincere to do this kind of activity because in fact this kind of program is also against the business model of Online casinos.
This is done only because it is part of the social responsibility that is imposed on casino companies to follow the rules of the jurisdiction in which they operate.

Some critics also argue that such programs are done only to improve their public image or simply carry out social obligations imposed to escape regulatory scrutiny.

I could imagine how it would feel like hearing that casinos are rendering community service to the society after paying their tax to the government where they are operating. It could give them a good edge in the sight and making them have good name In the eyes of the people irrespective of the fact that they are gambling organisation. Their impart in the society would be felt and applauded by the government and people of the society because these days, it is very difficult to see such in the society with how things are going on now.  If any casino here on this platform are engaging in community service, I would applaud them for that because it is not an easy task to accomplish.

What I know a casino and other gambling site should do that is very important and that is important for other businesses is to pay tax. I think all licenced casinos will pay their tax. People that are needed for community services are those that the government paid to do so or those that are told in court to do community service as a punishment. Gambling sites or land based gambling places can decide to help in community service or not. If they pay their tax and not evading it at all, they should be applauded.

There’s a lot of physical casino in our country that do a lot of charity and community works as way of giving back to the community and also as part of their marketing.

So fr I don’t see any crypto casino that do this kind of community service but Physical do tjis frequently since they need to promote their business to gain customers for good.

Also national lotteries usually donate part of the profits on charity works like in my country. It funds Philippines Heart Center and they have a foundation to help people in need.
