Well, putting a tax on gambling is a double-edged sword. It could ruin the gambling industry in your place but it could also enhance the economy of your country. As you said, this ain't new to other countries which means it is working so I don't think there's much to worry about. But the people of your country must also look at where the money will go. The taxed money.
Make sure that it is not going directly to the pockets of the government agencies who will be handling the tax money and follow the trail if they will use it for the better of your country.
Here in our city, we can feel where the money is going. We have a brand new city hall which gives ease to all the people. New road lights and many projects in the streets like widening of the road.
A lot of money will be incoming to the government from the gambling tax so be aware of where the funds will go.
Topic: Nigerian Government plans to begin taxing gambling. - page 13. (Read 2188 times)
I was reading the news and saw that Nigerian government will soon introduce taxation to gambling. Taxation on gambling is not new in some countries so this will not be surprising to many people.

I have gone over the link provided and it isn’t only gambling that was said here although, for the point of emphasis and to stay on course as per the board of the forum we are, we would have to discuss it as it affects gambling.https://www.thecable.ng/world-bank-offers-support-as-fg-plans-to-introduce-telecoms-gambling-taxes/
Now, it specifically highlighted on-line gambling. Something I don’t seem to understand here though is that, how would this apply? Is it on the gamblers themselves as per wins or the gambling site?
Because, you having to tax gambling wins, what do you do about there losses?
I thought gambling platforms are already a tax paying industry so, what are they really talking about here, a pay raise or something. Also, I don’t recall these guys not collecting VAT on my credit card recharges while using the telecoms.
I was reading the news and saw that Nigerian government will soon introduce taxation to gambling. Taxation on gambling is not new in some countries so this will not be surprising to many people. But to Nigerians who are already experiencing difficulty in the economy do you think it is good for the government to still be planning imposing tax on gambling? there are gamblers who still gamble for fun in the country, will imposing a tax on it not push this people closer to depression as some may find it difficult to gamble comfortably. I also find it strange that the World Bank is supporting this with a financial support package of value close to $2.25million.
Since the taxation may not affect the crypto gambling community in Nigeria, this will encourage more gamblers to gamble now on crypto platforms right?

it’s less about making the poor even poorer and nore about discouraging the public to ganble less.particularly in Nigeria where amidst the constant search to find incone streams people end up ganbling their whole life away, movements like this from the government are aimed at disrupting the status quo and making the whole shit turn in by itself basically. So yeah, I’m all up for this one. But they also have to introduce some way for Nigerians to really be able to reliably make money so they don’t have to end up gambling anymore. Since the taxation may not affect the crypto gambling community in Nigeria, this will encourage more gamblers to gamble now on crypto platforms right?
