I actually from Philippines and I don't see my country on the list but looking at the complete statistics given above I see that Philippines is top 4 for the house that always win that's why it is not surprising that we are not no the top list of the gamblers lol no players doesn't want to lose every time and with house that always win it only shows that players in our country is always losing.

Statistically, the list of countries with the most bets might show countries like America, UK, and Australia. And I think it's an accepted fact, even countries where gambling is not considered good or likes to gamble.
and from some countries it is mentioned not the country where I live, because traditional or real gambling in the country where I live is strictly prohibited and if caught will be punished except online gambling.

This list is interesting- I was expecting India or China to be the first or at least be included in the top 10 but most of the countries that are listed came from first world countries. I do think that there is a difference between the variance between number of gambling rates vs revenue generated in gambling.
In the Philippines, as far as I can remember, gambling activities moderated and regulated by the Philippines bring the 3rd most revenue in the country. That is also the reason on why lots of gambling casinos have steadily been increasing over the past years, helping boosting the economy.
Brazil is not in the list either
but not a big surprise since most forms of gambling are forbidden here, we have no legal casinos
only government lottery and a popular street game that is called "jogo do bicho" where you bet in animals and numbers and works a bit like a lottery too but it's not legal (though not so hard to find on city centers...)

Ugh oh don’t let China see that you said Hong Kong is a country 
These seem to all be relatively smaller populated countries. Kind of surprised to not see the United States on the list but I think soon we will. Like with marijuana legalization, gambling laws have massively eased up and continue to get more and more so. You can’t go to a gas station without seeing a couple video poker machines. Finally.
Well the situation with Hong Kong is massively political which does mean that even though it's allowed to function as a seperate part at the end of the day even though it can perform everything as a country by itself they are still part of China therefore most sites do not understand where they stand as well.

Then again I have no intentions of letting the Chinese government run after me for mentioning Hong Kong as a seperate county they themselves have made the laws governing Hong Kong super complicated. Then again !! It's interesting to see it on the list as well..

That's quite harsh, my home country have the same laws as well but at the end of the day you can still find so many people just gambling on the corner with things like BlackJack in reality because they cannot send officers to arrest you everyday can they now.
That's why regulations are always better! Than banning it entirely!

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 lol! Late entry into the industry plus many restrictions (even paid admission to the casino) but still a solid second place. Very interesting statistics, but I see a real problem - this rating is based on nominal indicators and not on percentage ratios of lost money to people's "budget". Obviously, with this approach, no poor country has a chance to get into this rating, which we see - only rich countries with a high per capita income are in the table. I think that other more objective ways of compiling such a rating would completely change the picture, since I heard that gambling is much more common in poor countries than in rich ones.
This is in order right? I wonder why USA isn't really there when in fact they are the known hotspot for gambling in the world. Macau wasn't on the list as well even though they are the known hotspot for gamblers here in Asia, I'll agree if this survey was done during the lockdown and not when it was permitted already personally to attend every casino.
USA has tight regulation towards gambling so maybe this is the reason why the number of gamblers decrease and not surprise for them not to be on the list knowing many casino ban US citizens to play on their casino.I'm surprised for the other listed especially Italy and Finland since I didn't expect that they will be listed on top 10 but guess gambling is rampant there since statistics will not lie.
Australia on the first place? That is something new to me. Every time I am on a holyday and hotel has a casino, or on a cruise, I see these places are crowded with my Asian friends. They no matter in what country I was - Asians are presented in every table game, slots and etc. They just love gambling. They probably have created most of board or card games, or play and have biggest variety of such games.
Speaking about my country (it is not in top list), gambling is not very popular. It is more an addiction or a way to get easy money. Gambling is mostly presented by slots. Usually people come to places with slots to loose part of salary and drink lot of beer. In my country gambling is not a masterpiece, but a place for a low class to spend time in.

Very surprising indeed. I thought the list will be dominated by the US, Macau (China), Japan, Malta and the UK. I cannot imagine Singapore is top two. Although Singaporeans are the second richest citizens in the world. Their government is trying to discipline its citizens when it comes to gambling. And Singaporeans need to pay entrance fees when they enter a casino which is odd.
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.
The US is not even in the top 10 mate.
I saw another article that was posted this year and the list has changed it is only a top 5. the article does not have a source on where they got their information though so I am not sure how accurate it is.

Statistics arent really that precise but they are mostly identical.Just like
on this one on which i do make search of a country does have the biggest gambling revenue.
https://newzoo.com/insights/rankings/top-10-countries-by-game-revenues/
China is sitting no. 1 having
46.01B USD revenue and having 685M no. of players. Dont know if this one is updated or accurate
but its huge.
the link you shared is talking about revenue, the article that the OP shared talks about gambling losses per adult. on this one on which i do make search of a country does have the biggest gambling revenue.

2. Singapore ( they only opened their first casino in 2010!)
I've read about the biggest gambling industry in the world, the country you mentioned is correct, they are included in the list of the 10 biggest gambling addict countries.What is interesting and the attraction about the gambling industry in the future is the country of Singapore, for now Singapore is placing the second top position, This does not escape the tourist attraction and amusement rides that make gambling addicts in Singapore a positive impact, maybe as a global destination Singapore can beat Las Vegas one day in the world of gambling.
As i know tourists who want to gamble and upscale and the lodging for them has increased to one more week, which used to only stay 1-2 days, It can be seen that Singapore does not only offer gambling, it is also a place of entertainment that is quite interesting and entertaining for tourists.
Not in that list, but I understand that a lot of gambling dens are found underground and have no official license to the government, hence why they are not counted to the statistics (Philippines). Cockfighting however, is approved by even the president himself, stating that if we are to stop said operations of cockfighting, the government will lose millions of dollars in taxes per month that could have subsidized some government projects. It is true, but this country has always been against gambling (lol), unless it benefits them directly.
Casinos are still heavily frowned upon here in the Philippines, unless the operator is of foreign origin. Not sure why but it has been like that for far too long.

Philippines is really underrated when it comes to gambling ranking since small time gambling such as street bets, card games in the house, bingos and other form recreational gambling is not counted on survey. My statement seems like I’m being concerned about rankings in gambling. Haha, But real talk, Every place here in PH has a lot of gambling even on sports and other activities, Filipino really love to involve money on anything that they will do.
Before we went to the US on my teenager days, I experienced playing dice, cara y crus, color games, and all that stuff that are unregulated and can only be found in the streets, fiesta carnivals, or some random guy's house. Also have jueteng, mahjong, and a lot of card games that goes highly unnoticed too, and is sometimes under the protection of local politicians or the police themselves.
Heck, I imagine that if these statistics include those, the Philippines will be in that top 10 list for damn sure
I don't think my country has a high level of gambling but I don't know if it's offline gambling because I see there are still many people secretly gambling.
The enforcement officers are constantly trying to catch the offline gamblers so this may be why no statistical data is showing how high the level of gambling is.
I wonder why China hasn't been included in the list because I feel China has a high level of gambling compared to other countries.
Surprisingly, Singapore can be number 2 on that list.

I check the site and it didn’t says there about crypto gambling, this might a whole casinos data and its hard to know how accurate those data. I didn’t see my country on the list but I can say that we are very open to gambling and our government support this one because it generates a lot of tax, maybe these countries can change from time to time, its hard to know.
I didn't see our country in the list as well, but just like you, our government is not really strict about gambling. Gambling is legal in our place as long as it follows the specific protocols and have license to operate. In addition, they must pay taxes too because that's how the government generate income to make infrastructure and other projects. Which I believe is fair and just because after all, gambling is still a business that should pay due diligence.
When it comes to the data, the information from a website most especially if it's a survey would really vary from time to time because certain conditions can either improve or make it worse. It would be better if OP double checked whether the data provided in the site is still up to date. Although, we can do that ourselves.

There definitely are quite a few countries that I did not expect to show up in such a list. You really cannot judge a country based on just a few things you know about them. And yup, as expected my country is nowhere to be found on the list. I gotta say though, Singapore is quite amazing.

I don't understand how this data can be accurate. The article from the OP states that Singapore opened its first casino in 2010 yet also claims that the country lost $1,174 per adult in 2010. How can this be?
Double check it. I think the list is from 2014 based on the image but it is surprising that Singapore is the second even though they just opened their casino last 2010 I was wondering how do they make statistics about losing.
I am kinda blown away with Australia coming in on the first place.... seeing that one of the biggest Crypto casinos, namely Stake.com are blocked in Australia and the co-owner are from Australia. He is streaming every weekend via a VPN on his own casino, because Stake.com is being blocked by most 3rd party Slot providers.

Thank you OP, that was a great surprise.
