I wonder how Macau is not a part of any of these two lists!! Macau is a country whose economy is based on gambling businesses where 40% of their GDP is delivered by gambling! But these are really land based casinos which means the numbers here show the tip of the iceberg. Due to the social taboos around the world, a lot of people don't really visit the land based casino and these group of people actually enjoys the online casinos from the comfort of their home! And it is really difficult to capture that number correctly!

Secondly, I see US is missing from the list as well! US has an entire city for gambling and it is a prime destination of gamblers and tourists from around the world. I am sure everyone wants to visit Las Vegas at least once in their life! So I seriously feel the list is flawed!

Guess that those highrollers are come from australia or united states mostly, not the macau citizen obviously.
That is explain why i guess .
It is always about culture, australian loves gmble so much due its culture in the past but some people also denied it and says it was not about the history but it was because of the marketing and the industry grow so fast followimg with government support as it gives them a great income through taxation which unfortunately causing this big stats in australia .
They are taking gambling as an entertainment too serious.

Not looking at the stats, I would say that US is still the top spot and then Australia in the APAC region. This two are heavily on gambling, with so many sporting events being held on those countries reguarly, you name it, from tennis to golf tournaments.

I'm not really sure about EU though, but I suspect that Germany or Spain in the top in that region. Macau is just small in population, so even if they have high luxuries casinos, only a few can be called high rollers.

That is what i mean bud.
But when it comes to gambling in average statistically australian are the one who spend the most compared to any other country , yes statistically mathematically.
But when it comes to impression , i will choose united states as well as UK besides the number of gambling company (a large and multi-national one) come from there.

How can we seriously discuss statistics from almost four years ago? Why not to find a new one? For example - What Countries Gamble The Most?
Although they’re both no longer relevant because of the coronavirus.

I am not that surprised with this list although I thinl it is not only Greece from Easterm Europe there are many more Balkan countries whose gambling is in their Dna.The only country I am surprised from this list is Singapore which I know it is a very well developed place to live and work and there is no real need for gambling there.

And I think Singapore is very strict, so yeah I agree it's really surprising to see them in the list. Gambling losses per adult? could be higher for some countries as well, so we don't know how the data was collected here because it seems there is some gap. Australia, well probably there are a lot of whales there or even average joe gamblers willing to loss $1k in gambling.

have you ever wondered which are the countries where gambling is more popular?

and in which people lose more money for gambling?

this website gives us a clue about it.

Quote

Rank   Country   Gaming Losses Per Adult
1   Australia   $1,288.00
2   Singapore   $1,174.00
3   Ireland   $588.00
4   Canada   $568.00
5   Finland   $553.00
6   Italy   $517.00
7   Hong Kong   $503.00
8   Norway   $448.00
9   Greece   $420.00
10   Spain   $418.00

do you live in any of these countries? it'd be nice to hear more on the opinions of someone who knows the gambling scene on each place.

The Data is according to Recorded gambling activities and places in which this means gamblers that can afford going to casino's and Play Online.

But there are Many gamblers that Plays outside those Mirror ,In other countries statistics can't be recorded as many gambling losses and wins happen outside the recordings.

So i assume that this base on countries in which the gambling area are being supported of government .

But have no Idea that Ausie are the Most lossers of all.Thats great to hear.

I don't read lmao, I almost thought Australia was the top country that gambles the most, turns out it was the country that lost the most in gambling. Reading the article though, it seems like that the Australia topped on is average losses per head, so basically means that Australians bet more compared to US citizens, but US has a much larger population which is why it ranks at the top when looking at the losses per country. Still though I actually thought the US would top both, since I believe the US is one of the countries that gamble the most. Turns out US citizens are a bit more controlled in their gambling tendencies

I don't live in any of the countries above, though my relatives do stay in Singapore and the US. Sadly none of them are actually avid gamblers, or at least not that I know of.

Yes indeed, but it is losses per adult means per gambler right? so it means an individual loss 1m$? it is too much I think, but it only shows that Australia is a rich country, imagine how much taxes does that individual is paying every withdrawal, but I thought US or any other Asian country will top the biggest losing amount. Hope there will be any Austalian will post in here for them to share with us how does gambling in their country.

Such charts aren't very accurate,in my opinion.
1.Hong Kong is not a country.Change my mind. Grin

2.The gambling industry in many countries is deeply connected with the tourism industry.Many gamblers in Macao or Las Vegas,for example,can be foreign tourists and not citizens of those countries.
I'm not surprised that China and USA are at the top of the list.After all those countries have a history in gambling and a huge middle class,that is able to spend lot of money on gambling.

Both rankings are probably just measuring the numbers provided by registered casinos and other gambling establishments. What they cannot measure in so many countries around the world are those which are not reflected on legal books. And I believe those legal figures in gambling will be dwarfed by the illegal ones.

I'm not living in any of the countries listed above but I know very well that the revenue coming from the government-regulated gambling industry, at least in my country, is too small compared to the proceeds coming from illegal gambling operations.

I never expected to see that result because I don't search for that.
We don't know if that list is a valid source that gives us the valid list of the 10 countries that gamble the most.
I expected to see Macau or the USA like @TimeTeller says to be the first place on that list.
But out of that list, we can see that the amount of money is bigger, and I think that amount of money will still increase from time to time.
I think gambling is popular in many countries, no matter what the country is and not just for that list because people already tend to gamble for a long time ago.

I don't live in any of these countries and I have to say that I'm quite surprised, I would have never thought that Australia could be at first place. I would say that one of the Mediterranean countries would come first. Nevertheless it's nice to see some statistics like this, maybe we change some prejudice about gambling habits in certain countries.

This is surprising because and probably incorrect as well because first chart does not have US to be among top 10. And gambling hub is Las Vegas in the world and not featuring in top 10 itself questions a lot of things and about incorrect data. Second chart looks better and yes got some idea about a few countries who do have a good number of gambling users.

I agree, so I guess the 2nd graph is somehow closer to reality. U.S. has one of the most famous gambling spots in the world so no doubt that the biggest amount of losses in gambling would come from the US. I am not shocked seeing China and Japan, Australia, in our country the most common foreign gambler we see are Chinese, Japanese, Aussies, and American. Even Chinese people operate casino hubs in our country.

I saw the first list and was kinda amazed to not find USA in the list but then saw the other. I think US really has most gambling players because after all "Las Vegas" Wink

I think India too has a fair amount of many players in large volumes but since there are laws against gambling (offline ones) hence I think they are not recorded officially when players gamble money on online casinos!

isn't Macau still part of China? as far as I know even though Macau have its own economy, government, etc.. they were still considered as part of China. correct me if I'm wrong.

Macau is actually an administrative region of China. It has its own government and economic system so I believe that Macau is already part of the list under the Country of China. Macau is known to be the best place to gamble in China and that's the reason why it has the highest rate of gamblers on the first chart despite the illegality of gambling in some parts of their country.

I was expecting like HongKong/Macau or US to top the list.
If gambling is prevalent in Australia, why is it the that known gambling capital in the world is Macau?

The first rankings that OP shared is divided by the total adult population that's why US wasn't even in the top 10 and the graph only showed the total gambling losses per country which is like a piece of the puzzle. They are still both in the top list, if you check the second website that OP linked and scroll down you'll see Macau way ahead of the rest in terms of gambling revenue.

I don't really think so because these countries mentioned here play gamble based on the environment, it's obvious that we have different gambling which a country likely to play with seriousness and assurance hoping that they will win, like in my country many people adventure into soccer gambling from eighteen years upwards, which both father and mother go into soccer gambling center to play bet, that does not mean that they have higher rate in gambling, the statistics should have been specified the particular gambling, normally every country are into gambling now so no one can tell the highest gambling country because you have not move around the countries to know the rate other adventure into gambling.

i think the first chart is more accurate because they dont list china but on the second chart they list china and it place on the second spot but faik china has a strong restriction when it comes to gambling within thier country but i heard that china or chinese is the number one supplier of gambling machines in most parts of the world and they also run and own a gambling business outside .

the two charts have a similiarity when it comes to the country of spain because they both list the spain at the bottom .
