Gambling in the old days was not safe for the winners because people could see them getting win when they won.
Some people with bad intentions will try to rob the winnings while on their way home unless the winner comes home in the safety of his rental.
What happened in your area might happen in another area, and some casino owners don't like to see someone win a lot of money.
In online casinos, cases of fraud often happen; many people have experienced this because they are not looking for a reputable and trusted casino.
Topic: Is gambling safer than before ? - page 3. (Read 388 times)
I would say, yes.
It is safer nowadays than in previous decades or years. It is not only because the fact you can partake in gambling from your home and around people you only want to have contact with, but it is also about how the laws have evolved and the view of society on gambling. In my opinion, the more liberal society is about personal habits, then it would be less likely to have people attending to underground or illegal places to gamble, drink, etc.

My topic today is about a simple question, Do you think gambling in old days is more safe than our days now?
With casinos being more accessible now than before then we could say it did become somewhat safer since we could avoid those potential dangers that anyone could experience from offline gambling. Sure, scams can still happen but most gamblers can easily avoid them now that we have so many reputable casinos compared to back then. As long as gamblers put in enough effort to do their research then they should have no issues gambling online since there's more than enough information to tell which casinos are good and bad. 
I think not much changed in terms of 'personal' safety of the gambler. In fact, I think it's a lot more dangerous to go out there and beat the house due to how documented everything is nowadays and how easy it is for people to find another person and do harm against them. While we, as a society may have toned violence down a bit, it's a different case when huge money is involved and those who lost that money—through 'unfair' ways or so they think—have some people at their disposal.
Dangers are always present when you gamble. It just became increasingly easy to track you down when you did something unfavorable against the house or another player.
We live in an unsafe world with criminal elements lurking around every corner. These elements are present online and offline. They are looking to take advantage of a small lapse to attack you. I do not think gambling is safer now than before. In fact, the dangers have increased, and that is why every gambler must be conscious of their environment as soon as they step into the casino or log onto their website. Anyone or anything around you that acts or seems suspicious shouldn't be taken for granted. When you hit the jackpot, do not display it on social media or in public. It is foolhardy. Always be discreet. For your safety, stay anonymous. Dangers are always present when you gamble. It just became increasingly easy to track you down when you did something unfavorable against the house or another player.
In my opinion gambling is almost assuredly safer now than it was in the past, however I believe it would be based on your location on earth when it comes down to it. Some countries, like the United States, are legalzing gambling in big ways, across many different "sectors". By legalizing so much, there's less "black market" gambling/bookies etc..which lead to more dangerous situations. By legalizing they are cutting out a lot of that crime that no longer persists due to being cut out of the business. You could potentially live in a country that's become less or more "safe", just depending on your government structure.. some gov's have become more progressive, others the opposite.
Case to case basis indeed. There are really some cases that illegal things can be happened because of gambling.
So far, since online gambling is now hype, gambling is more safer to me compare before when the only access is thru physical ones.
Above anything else, we just needs to stay safe as always.

We all know that gambling existed long time in human history and in several forms and ways. I’m sure old people has another image when they think about gambling the first thing coming on their head is most probably cards, casinos and horse racing since they were more famous than any other game. Now as in this new generation of gambling thinking of it generate an image of slots, betting and live card tables and tou can gamble in your own house without getting in touch with people all you need is your device and access to internet.
My topic today is about a simple question, Do you think gambling in old days is more safe than our days now?
Just 2 months ago in my region unfortunately a guy in my age has been murdered in cold blood only for gambling when the victim managed to win a good amount of money against the owner of an illegal small casino. If these two people where gambling online nothing bad could happen
In the other hand gambling online also have consequences such as getting scammed by the casino as well.
Longer you go backwards in history, more safer it is now. And you don't need to go too far back when things like boxing were in hands of mobsters etc. There used to be a short period in history at the beginning of the rise of the internet when everything was in gray area and nothing were really regulated in the internet. This has also changed as we know.My topic today is about a simple question, Do you think gambling in old days is more safe than our days now?

These days the regulatory oversight around money is getting tighter, and not too far in history there were non of it.
Everything is better, even for athletes it's safer. They are using all sorts of protective gear and there are rules helping them not getting killed.
So in short. not only gambling is safer. Handling money is safer, customers are being protected. People are safer. Everything is safer.
Saying gambling is safe today would be subjective regardless of the era and generation.
Gambling, in general, should be safe but we don't know what will happen in the future while we gamble. Just hope though that no such thing as worst case-scenario will happen along the way. There might be really some gambling-related crimes that will happen but that is something that can't be avoided.
Hope for the best indeed that we won't experience such a situation related to gambling.

I'm sure there are records similar like you mentioned in the old days, it exists in other interests it can happen in gambling, there are such things as gambling-related criminality because greed and hates are just two of the things that exist in gambling, and what happen in physical casinos can also happen in online casinos because the elements to commit a crime can also happen in online games, you can get scam in a physical casino, online casinos can also scam you, safety should be your concern when playing on both platforms.

You already have answered this question through the speculation of what happened there. If that victim has just gambled online while staying at the comfort of his home then nothing severe will happen. But these crimes will do really come when someone is known to have bunch of money and those suspects are really pursuing to make a crime, so when an online gambler comes out and he bragged it online on how much he have won. There's a tendency that some robbers might attack him for being showy on how much money he've got when he gambled. Online gambling is safer physically but you just can't predict these things to come.is still there if you arent that too mindful towards your actions.

if we're talking about safety, now it's way safer than it was back in the days, you gave a good example about things that could happen in illegal casinos, and even legal ones, i heard that a lot of casinos were managed by mafias back in the day and they handle business way differently, for example someone gets caught counting cards, now he will be kicked out and never allowed back in the casino, but with mafia owning the casino we'll hear a totally different scenario, the least that could happen to that person is getting beat up.

In normal countries (which are at least gradually developing) it is obvious that now gambling is safer and in every sense better than before. Simply because this is the case in almost all areas of life - medicine is better, entertainment is better, transportation is better, etc. This is progress. If we are talking about degrading countries, then everything is different there, and some countries are still at a savage level of development where you can be killed for a couple of dollars or for no reason at all.
Gambling in ancient times would never feel safe, even though in a safe situation it seems much safer now because we can gamble using our cell phones or laptops in a shady house, not gambling outside where other people might not like us, lucky are the people who play gambling on this day they can sit quietly

Physical violence?, well, of course, as there's no physical access in online casinos.
But as you say, yes, there's lots of more scams online, because there's no one to trace if things go bad. On a normal casino everything is way more regulated, there are cameras, etc.
At the end of the day, most activities are being transferred online these days, and gambling is no different. People will continue to gamble, and also people will continue to scam others.
Same stuff happening, just in another medium.

Oh so you are talking about the general safety of the individuals when it comes to gambling and not about the safety of the games in general? In my opinion, gambling has been relatively safe with the introduction of online casinos where you can freely gamble anytime and at any place for your convenience. Unfortunately, however, it also became more dangerous depending on the places and people you deal with.
In the Philippines, there were a group of cockfighters that were involved in some syndicate and their bodies were found lifeless on soil. Just make sure that if you were to gamble, do not associate yourself with anyone. Lastly, avoid loan sharks as these people have very powerful connections that can seriously and potentially put your life in danger.
Its safe if you gamble anonymously, and this is the reason why crypto gambling is on a good trend.
Having a bad incidents report is not new to gambling, especially on a traditional gambling casinos, there's a lot of group who are working dirty just to get what they want and probably your friend is a victim of that since its an illegal small casinos probably run by a gang.
Online gambling might not be safe for your money but at least you are safe from getting into a trouble. You can just choose the best site and being scammed can be prevented by just using all the security option available on the site you are playing. So far, I don't have any experience of hacking or scamming in the site I'm playing with.

If your only concern is if it's safe to gamble in online casino then there are reputable one that are already existing in this forum. If there's a problem there should be a solution just like what you said through time the crime and security is evolving. You don't have to worry too much to what you can't see but instead do some research and observe or try it if you have a doubt.
We can't exactly tell you that it's safer to gamble because there are these types of people that would do everything in order to get what they wanted.

This is not something new, it happened in the past, and could possibly happen in the future, there will always be winners in casinos and there will always be people with bad intentions, crime happens when all the elements are present like greed and hatred I don't think both platforms are 100% safe because as you posted there's a possibility of scam and it really happens, you just have to look at the scam section to read a lot of complaints about players getting scammed and it's not small amounts we're talking thousands of dollars, some amount life-changing.

In the past robbers pretending to be gamblers can be seen around the Casinos waiting for the win to happen for any person. Once winning amounts were handled to the winner these robbers steal them away. Now, everything is under hard security and crimes were almost zero. Incidents like the one mentioned used to happen in localities where people play within themselves placing bets.
You are right though, like I said in my comment earlier, the act of fighting or killing a person or even people in the course of gambling is not a thing of today, infact, such crimes have reduced greatly due to the kind of technology that have come to the gambling industry, in the old days, when online gambling was still in our dreams, crimes as this as well as stealing was very common, even, the perpetrators can carry out such crimes activities in broad day light and end up not being caught.So indeed, technology have brought a good level of security to gambling, gambling have become a business for so many not so strong people, in the past, a weak person dare not try to make gambling their hobby, they will be killed in no time.
