That's their biggest customer and the government knows it, if they ban those places for the prevention of this poor communities to gamble then there's going to be less revenue for the gambling houses and less revenue means less taxes for the government and if they intervene, it's going to spawn the problem of rampant illegal gambling and loan sharking so their on the safest bet there is when it comes to this kind of thing.

Placing a ban on this gambling companies will not stop them from gambling. My suggestion is if the government can set-up an avenue where the engage the residents of these deprived areas with something development that can attract investors and also put stricter rules that would certainly not favour this gambling outlets this way most of the outlet would fold up over time and gradually this deprived areas would be just as anyother area

As an individual, we should also take responsibility of our actions. We shouldn't blame everything on gambling alone but on the decisions that we're making. If people in the UK would be wise then they shouldn't allow scammers to scam them by being skeptical and learning how to control themselves when it comes to gambling for it will harm them as well as the entire economy.
Gambling is not a fraudulent activity and this must be understood. Even if the government stops issuing licenses for gambling, it will not save society from gambling addiction problems as the gambling market will simply go into the shadows. People will also play as they did only in underground casinos without any regulation. I don't think this will be better for society.

I think it is a simple reason of one of the factors that makes entrepreneurship to succeed that will make the siting of such business in that area. Lets us be realistic to this, if you want to open up a business venture or outlet, it is most reasonable that you open that up where your target area or patronizers are and in this case the opening of betting outlet will be done close to people who patronise it for easy access. Your population matters to your business and gambling outlet open for the sole cause of profit making and not charitable organization or foundation. I don't see anything wrong on it from a business perspective at least.

I do think that business men are delusional for sure, they have to help these sector, instead of actually stripping them off of whatever they have.
Businesses are taking advantage of an opportunity but they are not pointing a gun on their faces to enter and gamble money. They are giving the residents the option to entertain themselves with the possibility of winning.I do think that business men are delusional for sure, they have to help these sector, instead of actually stripping them off of whatever they have.
You should probably condemn the government that allowed these gambling outlets to operate legally in the area before lecturing what businessmen should or shouldn't do. The same people who find it "disturbing".

Gambling is not scamming so we need to be clear about it, anyone can start their business anywhere as long as the aws allows them to do it and business people knows that who are their customers so they can make more money. I don't really understand that why someone has to gamble with all their daily wages if they can't afford to lose it.

because indeed it is profitable for the gambling sector, with tactics like this it will actually increase income for bookies and gambling places because indeed poor people will use this method to survive and earn money instantly even though it will not have any impact on them and it will only add to the bad things in their finances.
but their greed and lust overcome all of these and will continue to come to gambling places in the hope of changing lives for the better.
and indeed in gambling there are no rules here even though it prioritizes profit compared to empathy for humans. this becomes a natural thing even though they are called inhumane, the most important thing is profit in gambling.

Businessmen taking advantage of the poor people's desire to have more money is common in all parts of the world. You see a lot of poor people flock lottery booths and different gambling places so I'm more surprised to read the statements of the people in the news article as if it's something new. "Disturbing" hehehe
I agree to this.
Business is business to them, though earning from poor people ain't that big compare to wealthy people playing gamble on their other casinos but money is money to them. Rich people only care about themselves, it doesn't matter if they go against on poor people as long as they are making more money, they don't have conscience at all unless you're on par with them.
The government don't have anything against it as long as they are legally permitted on that place, because Government likes money as well. This world is just all about money, in my opinion.

Apparently according to the source people are targeting the most deprived and economically weak areas which is sad. The companies are trying to scam people away and this is not working well for the people around since they might get addicted for sure.
It's not a scam, it's a business strategy. Such areas usually have low requirements and low fees to maintain and whatnot, making them the best place to construct businesses. One more point to view is that said area usually attracts more customers compared to places with rich people around it. If I were to be asked to pick between a single transaction that has a huge profit, or multiple transactions but with low profits, I'd definitely go for the latter since it guarantees more in the long run, unlike the former. It may seem heartless, but business is business, putting pity and whatnot before profit would make them failures as merchants. September 06, 2021, 11:45:59 PM
They're the poorest in the country so you can expect them to hold on to the hope that one win in gambling is going to turn their life around to make things better for them. That's probably the reason why the casinos are in those place in the first place.
This is given fact mate in which the poorest places are the most addicted into all vices , like liquor , gambling ,cigarettes , womanizing and even Drugs.in the world record those are the most affected as they are the desperate people in which hiding in vices their desperation and burden.

According to the source :
https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/aug/23/uks-most-deprived-areas-have-highest-number-of-gambling-outlets-report
The most deprived areas of UK are actually having more number of gambling outlets, which is a matter of concern for sure.
Apparently according to the source people are targeting the most deprived and economically weak areas which is sad. The companies are trying to scam people away and this is not working well for the people around since they might get addicted for sure.
How should they go about controlling these things? Should the government try and make laws to ban such behavior and such state? I think people should have a minimum wage for sure when it comes to gambling, what do you think ?
If the government is gaining revenue and not having conflict with illegal operators then why should bother , gamblers will gamble no matter what the government need to do so basically it is not something that they need to be bothered .https://www.theguardian.com/society/2021/aug/23/uks-most-deprived-areas-have-highest-number-of-gambling-outlets-report

remember that each of them are looking for revenue and if gambling addiction will provide so be it, and besides UK is a wide spread country and most visited as well, so foreign is one most target of this revenue collections.

It is really hard to combat against gambling when it comes to these people. If they are involved in illegal gambling, it is easy to put a stop to it because things are done illegally. They shouldn't be gambling illegally. But what is the solution in the face of these same people getting into legal gambling? They are poor but it is not illegal for them to get into gambling even if they are poor for as long as they are gambling legally.

I think it will be the government's job to remind the casino owner not to open their casino in the poor areas of the UK because that can attract people around that environment to go to that place just to test their luck.
The government can make regulations to the casino so they will think twice to open their business in that area because they will be susceptible to get addicted to gambling.
If the government can discuss this with the casino owner, I am sure the casino owner will understand that they should care with the people around that circle and will not trying to trap them in the addicted problem.
It needs both sides' agreement to always think about the people and the impact on them so there will not add more problems.

If it's a deprived area then they should have to create more jobs on that area in the first place or boost the economic activity. It's a shame that they are into gambling outlets instead.
Gambling joints generate jobs. Do you have any doubt regarding that? And in all probability, the jobs generated by these joints will be taken up by the residents, while a majority of the gamblers will come from outside these neighborhoods. Opposing each and every productive activity is not going to work. You can't drive away the few industries that are willing to invest their money in these areas. If legal gambling joints are not set up in these places, then the illegal joints will replace them and they will cause much more harm to the residents.

Imo it's not that surprising to see because the same thing is also happening in our country, i've mentioned this on the other thread. I don't think there's a need to control it since their other competitors would just steal the space, assuming their main priority is making money.
anyway, a thread regarding the topic and the article has been posted before. here's the link to the previous thread UK 20% of the gambling venues are located at the poorest part of the country
I was going to say the same thing but you beat me to it.If it's a deprived area then they should have to create more jobs on that area in the first place or boost the economic activity.
It sounds easy to say but I think it'll take more than that to fix the issue.

Business is business.
The government and these business owners do try to milk cow from people with less money but since they are that many, the collection is abundant. Hope people realized it's still a gambling that no certainties on beginning and ending.

It is sad that they even thought of a strategy like this to make profit. it is not that they are trying to scam them but they are trying to exploit the people's desperation to make their lives better through gambling and in doing so, the people also, risk themselves to become addicted to it.

it's all about how they would save more money or increase their profit margin since the rental fees on their might be cheaper compared to the most crowded places in the city. But it's the government's final decision if they really want these gambling outlets to change areas or they just let it be.
It's not about rental or cheap fees. It's non-sense to choose a location where they can save or pay cheap fees if there's no expectation of getting good customers out there. Fees are nothing, even how high it is they can afford it if these casinos or gambling outlets are getting more revenue day by day.
We can say that's one of the factors why owners choose a deprived area but it's technically, it's more of the big revenue they can get stationing there. Lots of customers to attract there.
since they do know that it would really cost up money.
Speaking of cheap rentals or something like that isnt really a solid reason for such consideration.They've studied it well on where would be the best spot to benefit out the best.
