Topic: Where does your country stand ? - page 3. (Read 829 times)
my country would not even appear in the top 500 because we are a poor country where there are weak laws and run by politicians who don't know anything, as far as I know my country shouldn't have more than 5 physical casinos and more than 5 casinos online, this shows how backward we are in everything that exists. here the government doesn't encourage anything, they don't create facilities for so many casinos to open here. also with the level of poverty few people know about online casinos, the lack of good quality and cheap internet is one of the factors that makes people in my country not even use online casinos, there are casinos that accept payments by mpesa and people from my parents use these casinos
if we all notice these countries are rich countries their citizen can spend hundreds of dollars in one sitting.
This is looking like the point there. The top ten countries are mostly those that are rich with good economy that the government provides the need of the people. Gambling is taken as fun and not something that is serious that you can think of killing yourself over it when you lose money but just to move on with life.
After reading your post I already concluded there's no way my country could be in the top 10 or even 20, we are a third world country, and average gamblers here in our country will not spend thousands of dollars or even hundreds of dollars, those who spent big money are foreigners and those who belong in the high society in our state-run casinos if we all notice these countries are rich countries their citizen can spend hundreds of dollars in one sitting.
Not surprising why my country is not on the list as most of the gamblers here only preferred to make low bets because the citizens here are not that totally rich compared to other countries. Although i have known some high rollers and most of them have high position in the government, but that won't beat the gambling status from foreign countries. Not sure if this data is based on profits or losses in gambling in a single country, but if this is the case, i'm sure my country has no huge amount to loss nor to gain. The standing is only up to 10 in your source I'm sure my country cannot be in the top 10 if it's Gaming Losses Per Adult only even compulsive gamblers in our country will not bet hundreds of dollars majority of us here are small-time gamblers because only rich people can go to the casinos and play and even if there are already online casinos now, the number is not that huge to be in the top 10 but our country tolerates casinos and online casinos operations.
The article is not updated as well, for sure there's a lot of changes on this especially some countries on the list have their new restrictions with regards to gambling. I didn't see my country on the list since its a small country but we are active in gambling as well since the government even support a new online gambling, the online gambling are more active in my country and maybe there is not data yet for this.

Same here, I live in a third world country as well but I know average gamblers in my country (at least in my circumstance) spend hundred-thousands dollars in their gambling session. Regarding the list in the OP, I have no idea how the writer get the list. Is that based on some researches or based on voting from sample number of people around the world. Money is what matters with them the most. Nothing wrong with this initiative as long as they do it in a right way like if they will just work hard to earn more money and not spend their precious money in gambling for that objective because they will likely fail. There must be a voting involved because there will be no information or data that will be gathered if they don't start with that.
This is shocking England isn't in the top 10 list ranking, this is questionable to ask what criteria they used on this ranking?
If for Australia I'm not surprised I have known a lot of friends from Australia who narrated to me that gambling is huge business over there.
Finally for my country I was expecting to see them somewhere around 20 upwards or should be in the top 10 because gambling is a huge business here, you can merely see a street without a betting shop.
Well, just like what others have been talking about. The way the list has been made isn't accurate at all. It has its own basis and that's why many of you folks are not impressed with it. Whatever the metrics being used and done on this by the author, there will be some of the few that would find an inaccuracy on it. In our own belief, we know which places are into that list and based on that knowledge we've got, it could also be used if at some point you'll make your own article and list like this. If for Australia I'm not surprised I have known a lot of friends from Australia who narrated to me that gambling is huge business over there.

I personally do not see any inconsistencies between the author's list and reality and you can easily find this list on the Internet, so I think it is quite reliable. In countries where gambling is legal and regulated by the authorities you can easily get statistics on each person's spending on gambling without conducting any sociological surveys. Besides, the number of gambling establishments in this or that country can be a good indicator.

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 ??

I thought that the United States would be at the top of the list, so it seems surprising to me that it is not this way, because it is not surprising that in this region there is a city practically focused on entertainment, I mean Las Vegas which is best known for its large buildings for games and bets, but it turns out that investigating more about this topic there are statistics and studies by experts focused on this year 2022, where they show that this territory occupies only sixth place compared to Australia, Singapore, Pilipinas and even with Macao that takes first place with earnings of up to USD 1,354.
Of course reading a little more, these positions are only focused on who generates more income per person, but if we start to categorize by the best gaming club in the world, the United States would already take the second position, because Macao apparently is very well structured and involved for being the first and best in this area.

There are 38 casinos in Macau, including major projects from global players like Sands and Wynn, and Melco Crown.

Although gambling is illegal in mainland China, Macau is a gambling haven. 50% of Macau’s revenue is made up from gambling alone. In 2018 the city made almost $38 billion.

Rate of gambling in population not revenues figures where surely USA or Japan would win and I think Japanese big bettors travel to USA for the nice comp given. Really this all depends how they measure gambling, most countries I think lottery is most common widespread. Also there is telephone entries, sometimes this is called quiz lines but in fact its gambling. Then final unaccounted for widespread gamble is gaming, even during a sports game they often operate a gamble for money feature and its worth billions to the gaming industry and its not called gambling perfect business.
True accuracy is unlikely in this poll, as per all statistics there is bias within.
oh i understand thanks to your explanation. like in japan every payday so people line up to buy the lottery. and betting on horse racing is common. and many other examples in everyday life. which will not be counted. Most of the ones recorded are online-based because they are easy to statistic.True accuracy is unlikely in this poll, as per all statistics there is bias within.

Should i assume the accuracy of the data research that mentioned Australia as the best gambling country because I can't be sure of the prelocedures or means they arrived at this, possibly the rate amd numbers of gambling casinos and the involvement of the gamblers but the statistics couldn't be as accurate as expected all thesame, but i think this might still be a good directive by taking into consideration country's population, numbers of registered casinos, and as well as the rate of active gamblers on each casinos, why i said this is because i also as well sees my country to be one of the most active gambling country of which its not onnthe aboove mentioned list by OP
Isn't it obvious that will be the case then? There is also one thread about the number of slot machines they have, but I'm not sure about the statistics are far as online gambling though (fiat and crypto), but I will assume the numbers are also higher. A lot of surprises in the list, nevertheless, with the advent of pandemic, maybe the reason is that gamblers went online and there could be a set of gamblers who, because they are bored, just started to play online.

I don't know why Philippines isn't included in the list but it was understandable as our country doesn't really do online / crypto gambling but are more fond of local gambling such as Cockfighting, Horseracing, Lotto, and there's even a cost-friendly casinos called "Perya" (in which I already assure you have more audiences than high costing casinos) Our country even endorses Off-shore gambling companies hence a country where some online casino resides. As also mentioned by joeperry, the houseedge of casinos in here really is low or we might just been living our decades having families that made gambling their daily routines
Most gambling platform here in the Philippines is just a large company of casinos and of course only in the high class can afford that instead we have for the middle class and lower which is the stated by Maus0728 they are popular in the Philippines most the Online sabong or online cockfight some of the medium is using with the cryptocurrency for making transactions, the managers are the one who responsible to make a cashout if they want and of course the large number of participants the large referral for the invitee to this is just one to earn in that online cockfight too. That's why this is one of the trends in the PH not only enjoying but also can earn through referral too.
anomalies, the Philippine government is making a huge profit from the taxes of this online sabong I don't know the exact figures but with it being a controversial form of gambling here in the Philippines, I will not wonder if the Philippines will reach the top spot in the futures, because the government doesn't want it stopped because of the huge profit they are bringing to the government when they needed it most.
Before the online cockfight in the PH was just a hobby by the people because they enjoy the fighting of their breed chickens, and of course, some people would like to offer an event in an arena. There's an issue with these because of the large name involved, but it's out of the topic. If there's a list in Asia doing these fights, PH is one of them. Also, there's a connection between this. That's why they can't manage to stop and deal with, of course, the Politics connection.
I am very surprised to see countries such as Norway and Finland on a list together with some hardcore gambling nations. I have spent some time in Scandinavia in the past and gambling wasn't a big thing back in those days. I guess things have changed especially with the evolution of online casinos. I remember them as being quite passionate about horse racing and lotteries. But physical casinos and sportsbooks weren't that easy to find.
Yes, I agree. In fact, Norway and Finland have state-controlled monopolies on all forms of gambling, both offline and online, so its surprising that they are among the top gambling countries. I also fail to see how they can be compared to the Australia or some of the other "gambling countries". This could be because these countries have a very popular state lottery, and since the list is ranked by gambling losses per adult, this would explain why they are in it. State lotteries have probably the worst odds of any common form of gambling and are known for very low RTPs.
Considering we are talking about millions then it would really be a good source or revenue for a certain country.This do talk or mention about in overall aspect.
Surveys couldnt really be that on precise for us to rely or believe on and if we do tend to look around or list then we could really see different results or
pile up of countries.
my country is not in the list above. but that's understandable.
but countries like Japan and America are not in the list of 10 countries above. maybe I misunderstood this country. then it was very surprising for me too. and that's an amazing find. but for hongkong and canada i don't think it's surprising to be at the top of the list.
At least to me the biggest surprise is to not see the UK being the leader by far, after all there are a great deal of casinos there and many times there are complaints from the population against this reality and yet they are not on the top 10.but countries like Japan and America are not in the list of 10 countries above. maybe I misunderstood this country. then it was very surprising for me too. and that's an amazing find. but for hongkong and canada i don't think it's surprising to be at the top of the list.
Now it does not surprises me that the US is not on the top of list, it may seem odd to some but as an example a city like Las Vegas is mostly a touristic city, and even if people from the US go to Las Vegas it is really the international tourism which keeps the city afloat.
Well, my country is not on the list. However, if the statistics is taken by continent, then it would have be first country on the list. I am not surprised to see the US topping the list. I am interested in Greece. I never thought of it like that.
Actually, it's Australia that's on the top and not the US, there's no US on the list but I'm expecting them to be at the top of it. Greece is an interesting country and I didn't know that they'll be having that many people who spend that much on gambling.I guess every country has that prior data about the expenditures of the people through gambling.
This gives us a confusion if who among them is telling the truth. I don't know if what you guys will feel when you see your country being on the list even not on top? Will you feel proud or will you will feel ashamed? Gambling the most doesn't mean to be that they are addicted or always losing.
