Not really sure what to take from your list. I have been gambling in half of those countries and never had any issue. Why should it be unethical to gamble in a country where it's legal? I would like to visit many more casinos and the top two countries/cities where I want to gamble next is Monaco and Macau. Anybody that visits the south of France should take a few days and enjoy Monaco. A few friends of mine already have been there and recommend a visit. As long as there a big casino and a legal framework from the government to regulate the gambling industry I don't see any issue. It would be nice if all countries around the world allow gambling, so people that live in a country where it's banned don't have to travel far to enjoy gambling. From your list I don't see any difference between these countries and their attitude towards gambling. The casinos offer the same games and there are even big casino chains that run operations in multiple countries.

Most of the country in your list is developed countries,So the people of this country will have enough money to run their life.So they also had some free money to use for the entertainment alone.It may be the reason for their government to enable the gambling in this nation.US was the rich in the economy and people per capita income will be more compared to the other country.For this reason,the government allow their citizen to get involve in the gambling.The developing countries like Bangladesh had prohibit the gambling activities.Because the small money from the people will help their nation to next level.Australia was the place where people ready to spend huge money in gambling.

Being rich as a country is not the reason to allow citizens to gamble or being poor isn't a reason for not allowing it also. Yes US has a good per capita income rating but that is not the exact reason for not banning gambling. The reason is that US is more liberal with there system of life. They believe in freedom of choice and the respect of rule of law and that means everything they do about their system or gambling is guided by law so that if you contravene the law while exercising your choice, the law will be after you and you will be punished adequately, so is about freedom of choice.

Therefore, most of the countries that have banned gambling have a religious belief that gambling is a sin and wrong which is the major reason for banning it. They are those dominated and highly populated by one faith religion especially Muslim. Bangladesh that you used as example is an Islamic dominated country unlike US. So you can see the difference and reason most countries could ban gambling, while others don't see same reason and they generate revenue from it through tax.

Gambling has been a human nature from it's origin and there's nothing unethical in it. Some countries do ban gambling as they believe it would lead to personal loss for people who can't control their gambling habits. There are larger number of countries that have legal gambling industry in one form or other. And there are other unofficial and traditional ways of gambling in every country.
Take an example of china, casino gambling is banned in mainland china while there are state run and other lotteries and raffles where people could participate. Rich people can goes to Macau special administrative area of China to gamble. While less rich ones crosses the border to Vietnam, Thailand or Myanmar.
Similar is the case with India, though casino gambling is illegal, there are all sorts of gambling and mini casinos in fairs and events. And people just go over to Nepal to experience a Casino experience. There's no stopping people from gambling.

High taxation is the key so I think it's just practical, not non-ethical.

These gambling sites or physical casinos can pay enough that help increase the funds of one country to build things that will ease the lives of their people. Instead of letting them go wild in an illegal way they might as well just make them legal so that the government will get something out of them. Imagine how much money it will cost the government if they keep on hunting them like rats. This is the better way because they will be the ones paying up in tax form and I doubt it's cheap. Millions of money is what we are talking about here because they are part of the sin tax.
It's not about ethics in this era, it's more about what the government could give because all eyes are on them, especially in this bad economic state.

I am sure there are more than those 5 or 6 countries that you have mentioned where gambling is legal. The list you gave it makes it look like gambling is not allowed in rest of the world and it is a crime to gamble.... Pretty much sure only few countries have banned gambling, while some might have some restrictions where you can play only on certain government regulated casinos.

Less ethical? Why do you think it is less ethical? As long as you aren't harming yourself or others through addiction, it is fine. There are lots of people that gamble for fun. People should be free to choose if they want to gamble or not. It's their money after all.

So... casinos are not necessarily unethical.
I believe that the main impediment to them operating in different countries is the popular pressure that does not accept the idea of betting well, mainly due to the bad reputation/rumors that the sector carries.
One of them is the frequent cases of manipulation of results or fraud. In others, the religious issue is the main impediment.... whatever the reason, people tend to be resinous around betting shops out of fear and government officials also don't put the matter on the agenda for fear of losing their money popularity.

It is, in fact, a popular issue... in many countries casinos will never be released, in others there are already large "movements" for legalization and permission to operate.

It's not just ethical, but also moral who play gambling. therefore some countries banned it and do not allow their citizens to gamble. But, it also depends on what country you live in. Sometimes, some country doesn't legalize it but still collect taxes from casino and provider. because the government knows many residents play secretly and don't want to miss a moment to obtain budget income for the country. This is the problem now because there are several provinces do that without agreement from Central government.

Mindset and decisions are different from one country to another, based on their culture, religion and theirs citizen. Gambling is banned in most of muslim countries, some countries banned gambling due to the its negative effect on their citizen. All the people don't have same minset, some people take Gambling seriously and lost a lot & involved in criminal activities to manage money for gambling and make violence. But some countries allow gambling cause government know that they can't stop anyone from gambling, if a person decided to start gambling. There are many secret ways to participate. So "Ethical" or not, it depends on a person how he manage to overview

It is an abritrary feature of culture and tradition. Gambling is considered "unethical" because it is prohibited to most of the religions but with the law, it is simply depending whether it would be taxed or not. Even with religious countries there are gambling activities allowed to operate such as Lotteries registered under governments. But with this topic, not because gambling is allowed to some countries it would already be unethical. It won't be allowed in the first place if it would be questioned by the public and more likely it is not in those countries due to the benefits gambling taxes are making. In my country, there are casinos and lotteries allowed to operate but with restrictions to age so I think it is just fine. If it is addiction being the concern, then that would be depending on the gambler himself and not with gambling in general.

I can't comprehend what you mean by that. But if it's about the countries that have banned gambling, they have their own reasons for that's basically about the concern of their people of being addicted to it. While for those countries that have legalized it, there's a fair share that the government is getting from the gambling industry considering that it's one of the biggest industries out there, so they can't ignore the fact that they're earning a huge taxation from it so there's no problem with that. And a government that bans or prohibits gambling, it is not a problem or an issue at all. They've got their own policies and from there so if they decided to just ban it, there's no need to stretch that out because that it is what it is.

These countries have relatively higher GDP than the rest of the world, and they have an established credit system that checks these users whether they're in too deep or not. They have the means to stop these guys from carelessly spending their money compared to the rest of the world. Plus, the gambling industry in these countries are also raking in lots of money yearly, so there isn't any way these countries would stop such operations.

'Ethical' on gambling varies differently on where you're at, so it's a question that I don't think will have a single solid answer.

This should be obvious even without looking at a Google search. Gambling is illegal in some countries.

But when it says fully illegal or totally banned, there are only a few countries that have a total ban on gambling in general. In most cases, illegal gambling is those gambling types or forms that are not prohibited to play in their jurisdiction. To make it simple, a good example is China where gambling is illegal but they prefer their citizens to only join lotteries.

Ethical or not, gambling was allowed and not allowed in a certain country due to their own respective reasons. If you have a time you can consider searching gambling laws by each countries and make your own analysis from there.

Gambling isn't a common thing, people who take part in this activity must be people who are fully educated (although from several incidents we still see that there are people who have been educated to become problem gamblers too), then I want to ask you, do you see developing countries from the list you attached? of course not. That's because the majority of them have not been educated apart from the role of religion which does not allow this activity.

I beg to differ, gambling is a common thing and alot of people gamble in other ways not only on casinos. It doesn't really matter if you're educated or not as long as you know the game your gambling on, you'll be able to gamble on it. There are even some instances where a person gamble on something they don't know and just rely on their gut feeling or luck.

As for how gambling feels less ethical when doing it, for me, it's mostly as how it relates to gambling addiction problem which is too common.

Gambling shouldn't be a massive legal conundrum. It's well established that it's not helpful to society, and could be detrimental at times especially when done and held with the idea of exploiting vulnerable people in mind, which is why I understand why some countries ban gambling outright. And while it's a little radical to think that gambling is basically just glorified drug addiction to many people there's really no other way of thinking about it. And this comes from someone who's really invested in gambling.

I still believe that gambling could be regulated and legalized, but at the same time I don't bother myself with the trivialities of gambling being illegalized in some countries and all that. They have their reasons for disallowing people to gamble.

Countries get their rules and they accept gambling base on what they do, so many countries accept gambling but they have restrictions and age variations of gamblers, like some of the countries if you are not up to eighteen years 18 you will not be allowed to play gambling, so they will restrict the person to gamble or the government will sealed that particular gambling centre, some government are like that in some civilised countries, why in some countries they lift ban for gambling and still gambling is still going on in the same place, I don't think that their is country that ban gambling totally

Gambling has never been about ethics, it's about damnable dice, cards, and whatnot, where money is kind of like an entrance fee. I don't really see how morals and whatnot come into play here other than when said player is being dumb enough to involve others into their addiction, in which case is that persons fault, not gambling.

Anyway, it's probably a culture thing or something. Or profit in terms of their local business stuff. I mean recently Australia banned (or will ban, not sure) the use of credit cards and crypto for online gambling because they were losing money over it (there's a thread here about that), so you can say they were losing customers over to foreign casinos cause they had nothing better to show for it. As for the culture side, well, nothing need be explained really, it's just culture.

In the Philippines, the revenue of gambling activities ranked 2nd to our main source of income for the country. With this in mind, the country uses these income to fund various government sectors and for the benefit of the society.

That's a very good example right there, and more countries should consider different perspectives before prohibiting things they don't fully understand. This situation applies to the country where I live where they've banned all forms of gambling (only for individuals or investors) including real and online casinos, without recognizing the potential profits of it as an industry or just like how philippine took advantage of that.
What bothers me is that if this decision were based or due to Islam I would respect it however at the same time our local television runs a program under a name Loto and sell the tickets in some places they also label as sports betting which I find more like a lottery and a game of chance similar to Bingo.

I do agree on this basis since Curaçao license is somehow useless in an event of complaint since they are very slow to make action and they didn’t care if the casino has a lot of acrive cases of scamming user for their license unlike country that you mention that is very strict on gambling policies in terms of consumer protection.

Most casinos especially crypto ones you will find them all having their license with Curacao, the main reason of that I read that it’s almost the only place where they give license for cryptocurrencies payments, beside low fees and taxes of course.

What's ethical for one person, could mean something entirely different to another. I have never for one thought gambling as something that is unethical. It is a pleasurable indulgence that unlike any other vice, but of which requires you to spend some money and hope to be lucky.

Some of these countries you mentioned like UK accepts cryptocurrency for payments and transactions, while the others may not consider crypto currency illegal until it is regulated and monitored.
I believe these gambling countries accept cryptocurrency for gambling too.

I feel that countries that banned gambling has a close ties to their religion. Since majority of the religion frowned upon gambling and even declare that it is a sin. The government following the core of their major religion make any gambling activities illegal.

Most countries that allow gambling have a clear view of the separation of the religion and states. Where religion should not interfere with the affairs of the government. I do not think that the government banned gambling because it is less ethical but rather because of the influence of their major religion.

Some government authorities in some countries sees gambling as one of the bad social vices that the public should be allowed to engage themselves in and that's why they decided to ban gambling.
While in some other countries, gambling is only allowed to an extent by the government because they think that it's not all gambling activities that's good for public consumption. However, there are countries where every form of gambling is allowed provided that such gambling platform will register with government.

Gambling is a very lucrative industry where millions of dollars are been made on daily basis both from casino operators and lucky random individuals worldwide, and on that note, I was able to do some check on all the countries provided below, and made to understand that these are list of countries where gambling is fully legalized, unlike mostly Islamic states where gambling is totally prohibited, such as; North Korea, Japan and Qatar, which are all Islamic states, whereas see the following

UK - Gambling is legal in UK, regulated and controlled by a license government authority.
Ireland - Gambling is also legal in Ireland.
Monaco - Just found out that gambling in this country is legal for tourist and illegal for it's citizens.
Germany - Gambling is legal in Germany
Spain - Gambling is also legal in Spain
