Not Your Keys, Not Your Bitcoin

Quote from: Joca97 on May 06, 2022, 06:23:01 AM

I am really surprised that my country isnt even on the list,i think on every step on the street you can see a sportsbook or a casino. There is so much gamblers that i think over 50% of the country is betting honestly. Also didnt expect some countries at the top of the list.

I'm more surprised that my country is not on the list but on what assumptions and data did they come to the conclusion that these are the countries with the highest number of gambling. They should have broken it down into various forms of gambling as my country doesn't really bet on lotteries but if it is about Sportsbet, I'm very confident that my country will be on that list, it is very hard that you see an average guy who doesn't do sports betting, you often see sportsbook bets adverts everywhere just to encourage youths to gamble responsibly.

Obviously, the data here is not correct. For example, this report does not take into account cross-border online gambling and a large share of anonymous crypto gamblers.

It's still interesting, especially the charts posted later, like the one with the greatest number of casinos. I bet if somebody asked you to name a country with a lot of casinos, you wouldn't say Romania or Czech Republic Cheesy

I knew China has a lot of it, they have one of the biggest revenues and the highest losses recorded, but aren't even in the top 20 when it comes to the number of casinos. Does it mean that Chinese people gamble online and online casinos aren't on the list? That's probably the best explanation. It also makes you think that a country with huge online gambling industry, not the one with the most physical casinos, produces the most revenue.

Sincerely, I don't think this data is correct, except the data was drawn from online gamblings alone, then I might as well agree.
But when we consider countries where online gambling is very low and offline gambling very high, then I honestly think the data from the website op posted isn't correct, taking my country as an example, in my country, we are into offline gambling far more than online, Infact, most gamblers in my country does not even know that they can gamble online, most of them don't even own a smart phone and most also don't have access to the internet, they all depend on offline casinos to gamble.

So when we consider all of this, I won't be surprised if those countries mentioned as top end up being far below their current ranking.

My country is not on the list but my country did legalize casinos and stuff but gambling in non legal places then will be sent to jail of course anyone know that. It's understandable that my country is not on the list since the people in my country are not all gamblers are rich and can go to casinos. What's more famous in my country is cockfighting derby which many people bet which one will win. For casinos, my uncle will go there but only gamble a little which his money is mostly loam by his friends to gamble and he earn from interests.

Someone says in this thread that this list is not updated and that is why US and Uk are not included, my country is not listed as well because gambling is not good here, there's a lot of issues and many people like the illegal local gambling than those who have the licensed under the government.

There is a possibility that other list have those countries that you guys are looking for. Just look at the dates of it and there will be changes that shall be made for it.

Quote from: molsewid on May 05, 2022, 12:49:30 PM

I think more countries that are not on the list spent more, I don't know what is the basis for this but for me since US has Las Vegas I think they should be on the top list, and most of the online gambling sites knew is created in the US and UK.

Yes, there will be other basis that authors can use if they want to use for others to see if they have their bias or none. Anyway, is this type of list that much important? Maybe.

The United States is not in this ranking, probably because it has a very large population and the ranking is based on the average loss per citizen of the country. Therefore, the total losses of US citizens must be huge to be in this ranking. UK may be in 11th or 12th place, who knows, unfortunately we only see the top 10 places.

I think you are mistaken here. The ranking is not based upon the loss but it is based on "Countries That Gamble The Most" and in this case US should be on top of the list. I think we should double check from another source too to check if the information provided by the site is authentic or not.

You say we need to double check the information but you haven't even read the article we're discussing, hehe. Here is a quote from the article:

Quote

Whenever gambling is mentioned, the glitzy images of Les Vegas come to mind. America has been considered as a gaming nation for a very long time. However, America is not the world’s biggest gambler as many would think. In fact, the biggest gamblers in the world include countries that are least suspect. The ranking of the 200 gambling countries is based on data provided by H2 Gambling Capital. The ranking takes into account the losses in a year divided by the adult population. The losses include the entire amount lost on all types of gaming including poker, slot machine, horse racing, and casinos.

source

As you can see, the calculation is done exactly as I said. And it is even emphasized that despite the image of the United States, it is far from the top of the most playing countries. By the way, I would like to know your version of the calculation of this rating - by what method should it be done and why do you think that the USA should be in the top?

hm, this is indeed interesting when you look at things like this and they are presented with facts and data such as the statistics you are referring to but it is possible that now there has been a change because indeed if you look at the sources you have listed there it is written that the release date of the article is in 2017 and that means it was several years ago, now gambling is getting more and more crowded and maybe this will change during that period

there must be changes that are much different from the ranking above. and I still think that America is top because Winstar World Casino is the number 1 largest casino in the world, it has a gambling area of 600,000 feet. and it is located in Oklahoma, US.

however i am looking for the latest information and the media keep mentioning that australia remains at the top as around 39% of its adult population is actively gambling every day.

In terms of scale, it is indeed large, but what we are discussing now seems to be that the number of gamblers does not refer to the place because even though it is large it cannot necessarily be counted and there are lots of people from various races gathered.
As for Australia, indeed they are still experiencing a spike because indeed this can be based on several factors such as the legality there is starting to loosen up and not too strict. On the other hand, in fact, in almost all regions at this time during the pandemic, many of them have turned to gambling to make money. release, fill spare time and spend money

You own the pen

Our country is not on the lists and I'm seeing gambling here as a normal activity of the people, I think 50% play gambling at some point in their life including old and young ones because this country has some kind of place called "Feria" where it has lots of games that are involve gambling and it's famous among the people here, they just find it normal to play there every time it is available. I can't imagine how massive the gambling activities on the top list are, I mean, they might have huge varieties of games to rank that high.

I was sitting and wondering which countries might have the highest gambling rates and for me I thought it could be UK or the US but despite this I went on the web to do a rescarch on which countries gamble the most. Let's have a look at this, since this information might be interesting to you guys as well !

1. Australia
2. Singapore ( they only opened their first casino in 2010!)
3. Ireland
4. Canada
5. Finland
6. Italy
7. Hong Kong
8. Norway
9. Greece
10. Spain !!

I was just as surprised as you guys since I did expect other countries to show up here as well instead of the ones that already did but you can recheck the same on the source : https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.worldatlas.com/amp/articles/countries-that-gamble-the-most.html
Other than that US , Canada,. Japan , UK are few of the countries known for their absolute support of the crypto casinos as well.
What about your country as well ??

Singapore being up there makes a lot of sense why so many people like to start with their gambling projects registered there. The tax laws are very favorable to the point that the entire country of Singapore is considered a tax haven. How far they go with regulations on crypto and gambling is interesting. I have yet to see a single Singapore-based gambling business complain about how hard it is in the crypto sector. I have even heard that my countrymen would rather set up shop in Singapore in complicated way just to avoid taxes and regulations....

You need to be careful if you want to gamble because your country restricts gambling otherwise there is a possibility that you will be dealing with the local government especially if they find out you are gambling. But if all this time you have been fine with gambling, that's good for you because you can place bets on sports platforms. Many of us are from countries where gambling is restricted and therefore, it is better if we also limit our time in gambling to avoid problems.

My country isn't there in the list, but as per my understanding the data isn't collected yet. If precise data is being collected atleast it'll be within the top 20. Because, from outside it looks like the country is completely against gambling. In reality we've got a big number of gambling platforms to spend. In specific more and more gambling activity happens through the Rummy applications and fantasy gambling.

It seems like a big revenue is being generated by the government out of these kind of gambling, because even after hard opposition government have never given ear to it.

the country where I live is also not on the list, because my country still restricts gambling, whether online gambling or non online gambling, because my country does not allow gambling, but I am proud of my country even though it is not on the gambling list, in my country the easiest platform to do gambling is to just follow the sports platform, I always do the gambling platform there, but only football is what I'm interested in.

Opened their casino just for 12 years and yet ? the second most gambled country in the world? I was wondering how this statistics get because singapore has a small population and also their tourist is not that huge to take this position comparing to Macau in China .

I would certainly agree on that, the top on the list is something I am not surprised to know as well. Australia has been indeed a topic when in comes to conversations concerning gambling rate and stuff like that. As per my country, it doesn’t stand on the list, but I believe that a lot of our citizens are also falling deep into gambling. Especially nowadays that online gambling, whether with flat or crypto, are growing popular all over our country.

The pandemic had a huge effect on the growth of online gambling, many people that in the past would not have gambled found themselves on their home with nothing to do except to look at their walls, so in their desire to get some kind of excitement they decided to begin to gamble.

And they found out that they like to gamble which is why despite the lockdowns being almost over at most countries around the world the popularity of online gambling is not decreasing, and if anything it is increasing by the day.

money, money, money
it's interesting how incentives change everything

by this point of view I'm surprised brazil don't allow more forms of gambling, but for sure it has a relation with the weight religion here on political decisions too...

There are places in the world which are really that rich enough for them to ban out gambling or doesnt mind about the possible revenue that it could give since they are getting sufficient
on other industries and if they would be minding about their citizens condition or for their sake against addiction then they could ban it anytime but its no surprise
that majority of countries would consider out gambling industry since it is one of the highest revenue generating which it is no surprise to have this stance.

well, Brazil is not the richest country so at least there I don't think this is the reason
probably more relation with its morals, habits and people's mentality, as I mentioned, the big influence of religion on politics definitely plays a role on keeping gambling as a forbidden activity.

but yes, for other countries it could be, it's not everything about money

Gambling is frowned up in my country and although there are virtual casinos operating here and advertising on television channels, there isn't any data statistics relating my country to gambling activity. And maybe that is because it's impossible to release accurate results, since most gambling activity works on the background of the society, in a shady manner, with the exception of the lottery ran by the government.
Anyway, I guess gambling is very popular in my area, because most people I've known practiced gambling at least once during their lifetime, being it at slots, bingo, lottery, sports betting, roulette, cards and much more.

In what country is that which they allow ads on television? In my country, it's not allowed if it's not government-approved.

That's why it could be the same in your country but I just want to know what it is. But right now, it's quite a long until I've seen ads for gambling.

My country is starting to legalize those huge operations because of the tax that they give to the government.

In some instances, their country prohibits the use of gambling because they know the behaviour of their community and also to make sure it's safe we know how too much satisfaction and gambling urge to play high-risk rewards that can double up your assets. The same here in the PH currently one of the top gambling platforms Cockfight close by the president due to different issues too and I guess the same with another country that's they prohibited playing gambling.

Yes, it would really vary on a particular country since they do have different jurisdiction or takings into particular things and if government do really find out that negative effects
is more rampant into its citizens then it would really be just a good gesture or a right one but if the issue isnt really that rampant or destructive then i dont
see a reason for them to set some bans or prohibition.So everything or any decision would really vary.
