it would be nice if we check the site and what exactly we can bet on relating to the covid-19.
Some sites really put a bet on big events, including crisis or this one pandemic, they just like to make money at all, but if that's not against the law, they can't loss their license, and for sure, a site with a big money at stake, they will not make a foolish move, they know what they are doing for sure.

They know the count of pandemic cases can not be gambled, it is not ethic at the first place. The foolish move is to promote this type of unethical betting for increasing the user database and reach the highest possible bet which increases their profit.

That's why i am interested to know what is the particular type of bet, or what is written.
I can't just make a judgement if what they are is unethical or not if I can't review the site OP is referring.

Making this pandemic something like entertainment, and making bets with the situation is not entertaining at all. I don't know if others find it entertaining, but for me, it's not worthy to bet on. Doctors, health workers, and other front-liners are risking their lives for this virus yet some people would make a serious situation as their own entertainment. Don't they have anything new to offer that is why they are using the virus outbreak?

Just like what others have said, it's still not enough to lose their license. But if that's in my country, maybe they will face a problem with that. Since they did something like that, I wonder if there are actually people who would make bets about COVID-19?

Authorities should probably not allow bettings (esp big bets) on things like future crisis or anarchy. That could encourage bad wealthy bettors to create the crisis in order to win their bets. Hopefully that sort of betting is not allowed on decentralized betting platforms. Morality & safety should play a key role on how we design this systems.

Inhumane.

Putting bets related to the pandemic shouldn't been supported by bettors.

Not just an inhumane act but it is more than that.
I wasn't expecting people to think the way that it looks more than a joke. I condemn those people who put their bets it is just like they are playing the life of the people around.

Maybe creating a Coronavirus coin is acceptable for me but if we include this in gambling, it is highly not acceptable. I wasn't thinking about a business involved in this but its something people make it for their unreasonable act.

They've gone too far imho yet we are dealing or betting with peoples live which is really a very unethical thing to be done by a sports betting site.
This will really surely mess up their reputation and also this shouldnt really be supported by bettors that it looks like their playing/betting something
which really inappropriate.They are making out possible profits by betting on this kind of line- Wondering if there would be legal actions towards this?

One of the many disadvantages of such games is that people could be tempted to try spread the virus to win a big bet. Shouldn't be allowed at all unless maybe they are betting on what treatment is better, what can minimize lockdown and things like that.

It's sad! I searched online for Sports betting sites that have been dedicated to betting related to Covid19. In Russia Betcity and PariMatch and Singapore also as the following articles point out.
I think these gaming sites have exceeded the tolerance limit they could have found something different than gambling I think they have been cruel.

Yeah some betting sites are unethical and the one I was talking about is probably listed on one of those sites. I am not going to check since I dont have the stomach for it and most sane people I imagine would not either.
With betcity taking bets on this crisis being a russian site, isnt it strange their prime minister had been tested positive having the virus today?
How corona karma works in mysterious ways and usually will get those who play around with human lives one way or another. Angry

Is the site that we're talking about still live? Or they already realized that they are doing something offensive here? Because at first, they might see it as a way to earn money but then realized that this is really not good for their reputation.

While watching a streamer of their gambling bets they showed a site where they had lines for something to do with it. Embarrassed

I was appalled when I saw one of these sportsbetting sites were having odds on the covid19 virus.
I didnt see the details of the bet but it couldnt have been good. Undecided

They should lose their license if they are putting lines up for this as it not a joke or something to bet on.

You saw that on Augur I guess... There are usually many unethical bets on those decentralized crypto platform.

I think that this site will only harm themselves by offering such betting lines in this time regarding something people are very concerned with.If they offer unacceptable lines like total number of deaths and total number of infected persons and something among these lines these person should be sued and put to jail for life.I think no one can accept this.

I don't take loans, ask for sig if I ever do.

Can you spare more details regarding what they were actually betting on? Like for example, is it the time span of the virus, time till vaccine is made, or something? Cause if it's similar to the above, I see no reason for you to admonish their efforts to make odds of the like. Though I have no idea how the friggin hell they are going to make the odds fair since even if a vaccine is under construction, doesn't necessarily mean that it would work immediately. However, if it was the number of deaths by x number of days, or something like that, then hell be my guest. I'd even join you in admonishing them. Treating lives as something to gamble on isn't correct imo, but if it was the former which was about the virus itself, I see no harm..

Well, at this situation such a gambling isn't good for the moment. There were sites that provide odds on the price movement of bitcoin and other market situation. By this time such form of gambling can be spread rather than just just making something out of the pandemic virus. People who wish to spend on sports betting can prefer Dice game and other slot games.

I don't think there is a gambling license to legalize emergencies like legitimate pandemic for betting, this is a violation of humanity and people will leave the gambling site, think rationally to make money without betting the suffering of the masses.

I do not think anyone here is an expert on casino licenses to know if such a thing is against the license they have, however such a thing should leave everyone that uses that casino a very bad taste in their mouths and most likely lead many of those people to stop gambling on that website, I can understand that some casinos offer some bets on political events, like the presidential election of a country, but the pandemic we are suffering is a very serious one and it has left more than 110k dead people all over the world and that number could increase even further so it is not something that we should take lightly.

I don't know if there is a gambling site that has an offering of an open bet of life lost due to pandemic coronavirus. That is unethical and probably they are happy every time they know that there are many lives lost just to win what they had bet. If that gambling site was under licensed by the government, I don't what will happen to them if the government knows.

I know everything that has an odds you can have bet and gamble. But not this died people due to pandemic coronavirus, that is not a joke. Respect for them and pray, because we are very lucky that we don't belong to them.

From people scamming other people that just want to help from this site that lets people bet on this kind of statistics? Humans are just bad at this game, that is so annoying. Joke or not, this is just the worst. Can we report the site about this? Are they against any rules or policies that we can exploit for them to learn their lesson?

i Don't think they are joking about this but it is more good if we see some links about the site we are talking here.

I think their country doesn't prohibut them for doing a joke like this but even if they are not prohibited, they must not make it a joke because COVID-19 is not a joke and one of my family already died because of this virus. I hope you understand why did I say this all. Please don't let other guys to do a joke like this because it can really offend another. If something like this happens, bitcointalk community will have a dirty name.
