If it's seen to be not okay on that particular then it should just be relocated somewhere else where it seems safe for those who really likes it. But if I've already heard that there are those incidents like harming the bettors, why would I still go?
My protection and safety is my priority and even if I like to gamble any moment, I'm making myself aware of the situation and it shouldn't be like that.
If you're aware of the dangers that it has, why still proceed? It's like you're looking for some fault for yourself to do with.

Is street gambling safe?
If you are soft and not used to the street life, avoid street gambling. Street gambling attracts some kind of people in the society, sometimes criminals or people with uncontrolled behavior. And because street gambling is done in an environment that is unsecured, anything can just happen, you can be robbed and beaten, and nothing will happen. So unless you can handle these rough irresponsible individuals that street gambling attracts and avoid being intimidated by them, avoid street gambling.
Before I say anything I will have to use my self as an illustration, I joined gambling from the street and I was about to end up as an addict but I have to restrict my self from passing through the area were people do gambled, in this case I see street gambling is very bad because people get more habituated to gambling on the street and lot of street gamblers are now addicted to it, street gambling can take ones live and that's the high of it all. So I say this because I didn't see street gambling as a good metier.
Online gambling is a bit good, because you can restrict your browser from anything gambling
I always pass by if I see that there is something like street gambling on the way, firstly, this place always attracts the attention of all kinds of scammers, and secondly, even if you win, it will be quite difficult for you to safely leave the place of the game, so it's better to stay away from it. After all, the organizers of this kind of gambling rely on income in any scenario, so such a risk is not justified.
You didn't get curious or what? Do not know bout you but for me, I think I will just watch how others play even if I am not placing my own bet because I found it entertaining. If ever I will be tempted I will just play with smaller amounts because I know that my win chance will only be slim and another thing is like you said, how can I get out safely with this place?But, I guess we are just too paranoid. Pretty sure that nothing bad will happen to us once we win big amounts there, most especially if you have a company with you. Just don't go on quiet places after, especially if it was night time already as someone might be planning to rob you there.

Does it prove that street gambling is not safe? Yes, it might but it all depends on the players. Will u play your bet with people you know are no good? No right? Maybe we can't really say until it happens but how about the chance that you can get yourself harmed, I'm not saying that don't play street games or don't bet on street gambling what I'm saying is please do choose who you play with wisely.
I will never gamble on the street,this will expose you to all sort of dangers and you will be vulnerable to attacks from hoodlums and the police. When I was young along my street,there is where gamblers do gamble,rolling dice most times. Everyday there is always one problem or the other and people had to report to the police because some was shot dead after he loss his bet and he claimed that the winner cheated. The risk is higher than the fun,therefore street gambling doesn't worth it. 
But which country is this?
I don't usually hear riot stories or news due to gambling disputes, maybe it's not on the news all the time but it could be true when one person's loss means skipping a meal. That would really be a very compromising situation.
Street gambling is very often in carnivals though. Somehow I don't see fights happening.

I wouldn't recommend street gambling to anyone. You never can tell you it is that you're betting against which means your life could be at risk and also since there's no way for you to hide your identity that could also lead to the risk of you being followed back to your place and later getting robbed. If you look closely you will see that the people that usually engage in street gambling are either thugs or people that takes hard drugs ( at least that's how it is in my country ).
And because the risk is just too high I won't even consider going anywhere near it.
You are very correct bro. Street gambling has a bad reputation worldwide. It is associated with gangstars and criminals. There is no decency in it at all. I will not recommend anybody to be a street gambler. Law enforcement officers always burst these gambling areas to arrest these gamblers because they are seen a nuisance. No responsible person would be in the street gambling because their is high risk of attack or crime that might emerge from these games. It is more honourable to go to a house casino that is well organized and secured because I have seen people die because of fights that broke out because of street gambling. Online gambling seems to be the best for me. And because the risk is just too high I won't even consider going anywhere near it.
it's really easy to understand what are these risks 
Just one point, this kind of gambling most of the times is NOT legal, hence without any type of guarantee or safeness for people gambling with it.
I would avoid like the plague
in case of complaints I would not argue with anyone

The problem with street gambling is that what reigns is the law of the jungle. There are no guarantees, it's a wild environment. If even aware about that you are fine with the possibility of getting yourself into serious trouble, who am I to say to you to not go ahead?
Personally I think it's too exhausting and annoying. Something that was supposed to be funny and enjoyable becomes stressful, as instead of worrying about the game, you will be worried about hostile people around can do against you.
And since nowadays we have online gambling, which ensures safety and legitimacy, I see no reason why an individual would appeal to street gambling, taking all its risks.

I would not advise people to gamble on the streets because the risks are bigger than they can imagine. It's better to play gambling in safe and comfortable places and so far, they have been playing at offline casinos around them. That will give them pleasure and also a sense of security against any acts of violence that could happen to them.
We know that street life is very harsh so if you play gambling in a street casino, there are chances of cases of violence against you. So protect yourself from such things and look for safe casinos.
As long as we play gambling in street casinos that are owned by people in power, security will be guaranteed because at least there are several people who are always watching and responsible for all the security of the casino visitors.We know that street life is very harsh so if you play gambling in a street casino, there are chances of cases of violence against you. So protect yourself from such things and look for safe casinos.
After all, in a street casino, if we don't cause trouble or create a problem first, it's unlikely that there will be a commotion or even violence against us.
But it seems that in this era many people are aware of technological developments so they prefer to play in online casinos or crypto casinos because it is more efficient and easier when playing gambling.
In crypto casinos we can also play at any time without having to leave the house so that we are more protected from unwanted actions such as fights or violence.
Spreading awareness is what at least we can do to help others, if ever you're watching some street games and you feel something's up call some authorities already because you might catch fire as well.
You already answered your own question but I agree with the awareness part, it's better to help others that don't know the potential risks they'll get from regularly gambling on the street.I think that we can not confidently say that absolutely all street gambling is dangerous or unfair, as each individual case should be considered individually.
That's true but it still doesn't hurt to be cautious since all it takes is one unfortunate encounter to put your life in danger. 
You put yourself in a bad situation when you don't gamble in a controlled environment. Could get robbed, shot, stabbed, or just plain killed if you beat the wrong person. I wouldn't ever want to put my life at risk to make a few bets. Rather go to dinner with my wife or something.

Most of the gamblers were introduced to gambling on the street since not everyone can get into a casino. The reasons for this may be quite different - from age and lack of money, to the situation in which gambling is prohibited in the country of residence.

Yes it was, but the current generation is introduced to gambling from the internet.
Talking about safety, street gambling is not safe at all as we are in a place where we do not know others.
There was a bad experience in a place where I lived long time ago, it was a time when a dealer get caught of cheating and the dealer was killed eventually because he was ganged up on by the angry gamblers.
It proves that street gambling is not safe for both dealers and gamblers, it is no longer popular nowadays and even if it is still available in some places, better to avoid it.
It can only be safe when it is well organized and there are authorities participating in it, we do it in our fiesta where there are color games and number games, but there are local guards and police officers to overlook the situation, of course, there is curfew and can only be done in a limited time to avoid complaints from neighbors, but if you're playing in a non-organized street gambling there's a risk of fights because you do not know the character of people you're playing and they might accuse you of cheating if they lose.
It depends on what kind of street you are playing gambling. Street gambling is often dangerous for a player that doesn’t live in the neighborhood because there’s a high chance that you will get in to trouble when you hit big win against them since this street tables is operated by group. Street gambling is only advisable if you knew all the people that operating it like when you are residing on that particular street and bet for a couple of bucks.
You will expect much violent street gambling on street that has crime rate. Don’t wish playing or winning on one of this street gambling or else you will have a problem big time.

I used to live on a small place where you can see a lot of illegal things on a daily basis, and that's how poor that place is, imagine you can see a lot of gamblers and addict in one place, you can imagine how bad that place is. Fortunately, I was able to get out that place because street gambling there always ended up on a bad situation, so its not safe in my place but maybe in other places. street gambling are more ok and traditional to them. Authorities are also against this one, just make sure to call them secretly or else you will be in trouble as well. 
That's why it's called street games, it's either you know the rules of the street or not. If not then you might be at a disadvantage as you might be the victim just like what the OP has describe. So before you place a bet or gamble you should not the risk involved and also the players and the people surrounding you in a street game. Played a lot of street games in my youth, but I will say that I was never a victim because I never play alone, I mean I have my friends who cover my back as well just in case, you know, some individuals don't accept that you beat them in whatever game they want. Even playing basketball with money involved is very tense here.
