I am not at all surprised to see Italy always in the first places in all the rankings

Here there has been a "boom" in legalized gambling (eg scratch cards and lotto-style lotteries) made directly by national government.
Examples, draw on tv show during dinner time and so on...

Then there was a large investment in the private advertising sector with the various slot machine (local industries were born with billions as affair) and later we have seen a lot of "bingo" born.

We then experienced a further spread of online gaming with sports betting.
The only sector in decline was that of live casinos (probably because these gaming offers are aimed directly to poor population).

The problem of gambling has become so acute nationwide that nowadays a law has been passed that prohibits advertising on television or radio!!!

Unfortunately, many got into debt and created family disasters. We went from a "pure fun" approach to a real economic disaster Sad

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.

Dude not just Philippines is underrated there are a lot's countries which is underrated to gambling ranking. There are lot's countries which declared gambling as illegal . Even then it can be seen that gambling is going on openly or secretly in those countries.
But I'm little bit surprised that there is no name of us in the list Roll Eyes

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 ??

Is there only an issue for me on that website, or can none of you scroll down in the list? For me it only shows 10 countries that gamble the most. I was hoping for the full list to check out other countries too, or it might just be an issue in my browser. Half of the countries among the Top 10 I wouldn't have expected on that list. For Spain and Greece I know that they like to gamble a lot, but countries like Norway or Finland I always thought of being very disciplined. Seeing them on the list is very new to me. Las Vegas might be very big, but so is the whole USA. For them to be on the list it would probably need a few more Las Vegas all around the States. Doesn't it seem a bit off that the list only focuses on the average gambling losses per adults? So this list should be rather called the countries which losses the most in gambling? Maybe there are other countries who are better at winning Cheesy

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.

Yes, I agree! This is what I believe is the reason why the Philippines is not on the list because most gambling activities are illegal and not registered with the government. Most of the casinos in our country are owned and operated by Chinese investors who knows that a lot of Filipinos are very interested in gambling and that they can earn money from it. They are one of the highest tax payers in the government, which explains why they are so fond of this industry. Whether our country is on the list or not has no impact on us because it is only a list. However, if you come to visit us, I am confident that you will see gambling activities on the streets or cockfighting wherever you go.

I was surprised I did not see any country from Africa among the countries you listed, the list is inaccurate in my opinion, I just checked another site which I think will have more accurate information as one Africa country from West Africa which is Nigeria is among, people know how Nigerians have so many online gambling sites that are growing daily which is an indication that Nigerians are gamblimg. Also another country from the East Africa which is Kenya.

United Kingdom

My country isn't on the list either but there's a huge number of gamblers in our country and most of them are really hooked on gambling and it's becoming the root of most crimes here. Some people are stealing and even killed because of gambling addiction. I'm just wondering how the given list was calculated but I wasn't surprised with the countries listed.

My country is not in the list. There are lots of casino fans here too but the majority of the population is not a fan because there are lots of religious people here. Playing on foreign casinos is also a crime here and that makes things harder for the players. It is not a problem for the crypto owners because the government can't track them down yet.

Quote from: serjent05 on April 26, 2022, 03:21:39 PM

This is kinda interesting and when I search the internet I also found this list of the Country that lose the most in gambling. I don't know how this correlates on the Country that gambling the most but it looks like the list is somehow the same.

It is normal that it is more or less the same, since gambling is a game of negative mathematical expectation, which means that if we consider the big numbers, as in this case, which is considered what a whole country bets in a year, there is a direct correlation between the money bet and the money lost.

Quote from: serjent05 on April 26, 2022, 03:21:39 PM

This link is more recent statistics (2016) hopefully someone can share the latest statistics on this one.

I am struck by the case of the United States, which although it is not the first in terms of gambling per adult, it is the first in terms of total losses. I guess it is because being a rich country, there are many whales with money that gamble and end up losing a lot of money. . This is consistent with my experience with poker. Although one may think that US players are good at playing poker because it is a tradition in their country, the average player there is very bad, he is more of a recreational player who plays for fun or to pass the time.

The article date was April 2017, and mostly the data gathered from the year 2010 - 2011 so I don't see this one as accurate and I think its already outdated.

I can't see my country but in terms of growth in the past year, my country suddenly becomes active in online gambling and this industry consider already as one of the major contributor based on their taxes. I'm shock not to see USA on the list, they have a huge city made for gambling, I wonder why they are not on the list. Crypto casinos should also be available, let's see if they are slowly getting near to the data of fiat casinos.

Not found in the list also. Its obvious that even when half the whole population in my country will gamble, we won't still be on the list. Gambling is a very big industry and government can easily get money from it that's why these casinos also have charity program but still not losing huge profit.

US is not found when there are bigger casinos there which the entire Las Vegas lives thru the tourist gambling everyday.

Ugh oh don’t let China see that you said Hong Kong is a country Cheesy

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.

There are different rankings found online. They have different bases. The one in the OP is based on gambling loss with respect to the adult population. The result would be very different considering that countries with the largest gambling revenue are also huge and thickly populated countries like the US and China, which are ranked first and second, respectively, in terms of gambling revenue.

Anyway, I cannot find my country in whatever list. But one thing is for sure, in terms of both losses and revenue, the numbers declared and are readily available are significantly lower than the real figures. In my country, legal gambling operations are comparatively small to illegal ones.

I don't request loans~

The article OP gave looks to be pretty old, it's been 5 years since the article was made so I don't think it would be as accurate if the data gathering was done today. I reckon numbers would probably surge up due to the increase in crypto casinos (as well as forcing most gamblers to adopt an online gambling lifestyle due to the pandemic in the past years). I did look it up on my own but the countries at the top didn't really change I think? Australia is still in the lead and Singapore was still up and above the other countries, so I guess that speaks volumes about how the pandemic didn't really stop those countries from gambling.

My country is not on the list. Only few rich in my country gamble.

I was expecting China actually to be the highest but I guess they couldn't get the statistic because China made gambling illegal. But certainly there are more Chinese gamblers but are not gambling within in China, probably more of them in Singapore, Hong Kong, US, Cambodia, Macau or Venice combined which makes this stats probably not very accurate if they base it on race.

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 !!

Australian is the most gambling country ? more than US ? but what shocked me is singapore considering that they are one of the smallest country in the world.

but thanks for the sharing mate , like you I was wondering if US and UK are the most gamblers but to my surprise it is not them lol.

maybe the result is based in Ratio of gamblers ?and not the amount of how much the gambling community is having?

Wow Australian statistics more active gamblers every day, the most popular horse race there I know. I was surprised my country wasn't on the list but actually I'm also happy because of that, there should be because what I know is that there are more active gamblers here, it's just that many are secretly gambling.

During the pandemic, if I'm not mistaken, the European region established a great number of online gamblers.

Can't believe only a few of these countries are on the list provided by OP. It means even prior pandemic, the gambling rate in this region is really vast.

What's the factor in choosing these countries? Online gambling, physical gambling, crypto-gambling, or everything included under the sun?

That list OP gave is indicating about the "Gaming Losses Per Adult" based on https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-that-gamble-the-most.html

And just like everyone.

I highly doubt that list, where's Macau? Others might not recognize it as a country but it's a known place in Asia to be known as the Las Vegas of Asia.

But anyway, that's their list and their own made. Just like the other published articles about their own records, there will be an inconsistency of ranks.

Not surprising about Singapore. They have a very lax crypto regulation and a of course, being known as a tax haven. I would imagine they also go easy on online gambling casinos. Although Hong Kong is very surprising to me. I would think they would share China's stance on gambling. In other words, it is illegal in China so one could be made to think that China would exert influence on Hong Kong to go the same routes as them. Although it feels like I am missing something?

Not much of a politics guy.
