Because gambling has many negative sides. All of these things we already know that gambling game has more negative things compared to its positive value. Because the impact is very large that can cause addiction and also destroy our lives so many people assume that gambling is a game that is not useful. This is what many people think, I believe that it does happen in reality. Better to do something much more rewarding and we will feel the result.

I am not that surprised that gambling is portrayed negatively in most of the occasions. I have seen before my own eyes how some of my friends got ruined financially as a result of their addiction to gambling. Addiction is the problem, but if you start gambling then it is very difficult to stay away from it.

The recent advancements in the field of broadband has provided people with a number of online opportunities. There are social media websites for interacting with friends, forums to get knowledge about a particular niche and blogs to learn from experiences of other people. Another thing that has become quite popular online is gambling. Unfortunately, some people do get addicted to it which affects their life. This is why it is not considered a positive thing.
Yeah you are right gamblers always ruin their lives and left themselves in debts due to lose again and again in gambling. In 10 times a gambler wins just 1 or 2 times and the rest he loses. A gambler has no respect in society because the play and the players both are bad and nobody give them any respect because of their bad habit.

Gambling is prohibited or considered negative in almost any country or anywhere because it is very risky .. because it will create an addiction without control and will cause danger and harm yourself .. many negative impact if you gamble and you will lose money or everything, Avoid and stay away if you do not want to be poor..
Officially, every country except few ones say openly that no activity regarding gambling will be entertained and the person caught disobeying the rules and regulations will be punished strictly but they don’t do what they say.

Every state is well aware of every single affair happening in it but they don’t like to stop gambling casinos from doing their job because they are helping governments by paying heavy taxes.
There are more serious problems than gambling that are illegal in a state but these happen. The truth about this world is, everything can happen under the blue sky and most of government people themselves are criminals but just with a decent look.

Besides, we can’t really stop a person from doing what he has made his mind for in this era of information technology where internet provides all sort of entertainments.
In my country gambling is also prohibited and if the security departments know about a place where people gambler they raid there and seal the place. There are no casinos in my country, because gambling is illegal and nobody is allowed to gamble, but many people still gamble because they are addicted of gambling and they cannot quit gambling easily.

Most of the time gamblers get addicted to it. This is the reason why gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere. When someone benefits out of the same and make use of it as an opportunity gambling is good. One need to know the limits in gambling and should stick to it, which helps to gamble without ending in addiction.
This is really making sense. Just consider the trading in bitcoins, why people don’t call it bad or why it’s not being promoted negatively? Because this isn’t bad for anyone. People come here and earn money from their little investments and these bitcoins are providing best platform to them to live a happy life, so they are being promoted positively. While gambling is promoted so truly.

Well said as gambling is something which mostly you do not have to do anything just put money anywhere and if you win you get the money else you lose money. Investing in btc is not that because you cannot get the result in couple of seconds like you made money or lost it like gambling. One has to do research and then invest in any coins.


Nothing is so easy except gambling. If you talk about trading or investing, people need to understand that these two things require skill sets from you. Rather gambling is just a game of luck. If you are lucky someday, you can be getting some good numbers as a results. But mostly this wouldn’t be the case. Once people win someday, the next day they start losing everything.
Gambling is also not easy. It also requires experience, skills and tricks to be a successful gambler. In my opinion the easiest thing is investment. If you have money invest it in bitcoin and hold for some time and you will make handsome money while doing exactly nothing except waiting. There is no need for experience, skills and anything else.

Bad is bad and gambling is bad habit, that’s why people have bad ideas about gambling in their minds. People know the results of gambling which are always worse, why they will not portrayed it negatively. Some people say that they gambler just for fun. I say that why those people not play a simple game for fun without any money involved?

I think gambling already created a stigma as a bad thing to do and it can make anyone broke. Gambling addiction will not do any good unless you will be a professional like those poker players who were earning nearly millions of dollars even if they didn't win the tournament. I will never recommend gambling to anyone because I know how it is to be a gambling addict. It will never be a good experience.
I think we can all just base it from experience, a lot of people see gambling in a bad way maybe because they have experienced something not good along the way, we cannot blame them for giving advise to other people base from what happened to them. It all depends upon the person if he/she is going to take the advise or not.

Well, i think it is not really the gambling itself that is the problem but the gamblers. I think because gambling has destroyed lives of many individuals. Many couple separated because their spouse was addicted to gamblng, sold their properties, been burried in debts and when a gambler court a woman the first reaction the gambler gets is he is rejected by the woman’s family because he is a gambler.

I couldn't agree the more, we often judge gambling by the lifestyle of some irresponsible gamblers  or people who were seen to be gambling carelessly and to me it's unfair because there are some fine sports bettors i know around who are very responsible and disciplined when it comes to selecting their games and in their private lives as well.
Yes, there are people who make money through controlled bets on a controlled basis. It is not a bad thing to have fun and make money. Not the same person who plays the bet every month with the player who bets every day.
yeah, it is really not a bad thing to make some winnings from gambling and have some fun as well, but it is a bad thing to expect to make those winnings from gambling or like you called it, make money !

Anyone who wants to make money should go and invest and it is this mentality that apparently makes the act of gambling a negative thing because people set their mind for the wrong reasons and instead of trying  to see the main picture, they just end up getting the wrong one and then becoming addicted. Hence, this brings about the negativity that surrounds gambling.

Because gambling is often associated with unruly behaviour, alcoholism, drugs and violence. This occurs particularly in the movie, whereas it actually isn't the case anymore. Certainly not with online gambling, and I doubt there are many casinos run by the mob anymore. Seems like an outdated stigma that has long outstayed its welcome.
Because that's what gambling breeds negativity, people are homeless. others have committed suicide whiles others have so much debts all due to gambling and for those who were lucky to win the jackpot they normally don't tend to be that lucky because everything seems to come crashing down for them as soon as they make that money.

because in the view of some people playing gambling only more losses in the appeal of his profits and often cause many problems, not a few people who play gambling into a depression and suicide and there is also a fight to kill in the consequences of gambling, that's why some people brand gambling is negative.
Except someone who is just so lucky enough to hit it big and not look back to end up gambling it all away, I have never really seen someone who has been gambling and could really come out to say after a very long period that they have been consistently winning more than they have been losing.

Unless we really want to deceive ourselves, the mindset a lot of people have towards gambling is why they have gotten addicted and the main reason why gambling is classified and portrayed negatively everywhere. Looking at most of the people who have been gambling away their life, how do they always end up turning out ?

I am not a veteran in this gambling industry so trying to understand what majority of the people thinks about it.

I have seen a lot of threads in this section as well as in other online forums which always protrayes gambling as a negative line of earning money online. I have seen people comparing gambling with alcohol addiction. I have seen people actively trying to discourage others from getting into gambling industry. What's wrong with gambling?

It is just another business and also legal in many countries. People who buys lottery tickets are also gambling only.

 In trading industry, you bet on your speculation and in gambling industry, you bet on your luck. In both trading and gambling, there is a risk of loosing money. So why trading is seen as a good way of making money and exactly opposite for gambling?

I belive it is just a social taboo about gambling and we need to rethink our stand towards gambling. It is just another legal business. What's your view?

The reason gambling is portrayed negatively almost everywhere because gambling do not have any good things that will help you in your life that is why gambling is a risk of loosing of money. Gambling will ruined your life once you get addicted to it that will have a big effect in your life like bankruptcy, increased of alcohol and drugs, and poor mental and physical health.

this is just the perception I'm thinking:
1. Gambling is prohibited for religious countries due to gambling there are parties who are harmed.
2. the effects of playing gambling always toward the negative like stress, stealing and so forth.
3. intercourse becomes less healthy cheating everywhere.

that's probably why gambling is always viewed as negative by society.

Maybe it is because of the norm and culture of the people. If you are a gambler you are portrayed as a bad people. Movies play a major role on portraying a gambler because all gamblers that are in the movies are bad people.
Let's even leave norm and culture aside. Gambling has never really been able to bring something tangible to the society expect some pretty crazy negative stuffs. If we really look at our environment today, a lot of people have turned to addicted gamblers; some families have been affected and so on and so forth.

Yes, we cannot completely blame gambling as each individual is to be blamed since a lot of people are just so greedy that they look for what they obviously would not be able to find from gambling and it affects them really bad but at the end, it affects almost everyone who is into it, so what else should be expected than attributing negativity to it?

Because lot of people are getting addicted to the gambling and losing their money without having any control while betting then later they consider gambling causes them to become poor in short time and they will keep spreading wrong information about gambling.And other reason might be religious,in some religion the gambling is consider as sin so many people portray it as negative thing to do.
You just took the words out of my mouth. I have come to realize that most people who term gambling as a negatively are the ones whom have being once addicted to it or have had family members who have been addicted before. You never can blame them because as it is said, experience is always a perfect teachers'. And while some religions regard it as sins is because, they are concerned as sins which can lead one to another sins.


Gambling is negative because it can lead to addiction and financial crisis. The most affected persons are mostly the immediate family of the gambler. It is considered a bad habbit because it will take your time away from your family. Not just time but also attention. A gambler addict usually become uncontrollable and would eventually disregard the most important things in life like the family.

Of course sometimes I think that gambling is not good and the gambler has not respect in society. I should quit gambling because it is the destruction of money and self-respect. But after all thinking I didn’t able to quit gamble because of the addiction of gambling. The result of gambling always ends in debts and no one can take winnings with himself.
A gambler's consequence is like that, there is no gambler that culminates with ingratiating. They win the game and then spend it with a moment. The consequences of being left by the family and ostracized by society are a threat to every gambler. But you can fight all those threats if you are able to manage your gambling strategy and your economic strategy. Forget about greed, and if you've won gambling you can make an investment for your future when bored to gamble. Yeah, I'm sure someday we get bored and leave everything about gambling.

And for this reason only, I think this gambling could never be called as good game worldwide. When you ask why this is portrayed negatively all around the world, so the simple answer comes in mind. When you are doing wrong how you can expect it to be called as good action.

Likewise, gambling has been a source of destruction for hundreds and thousands of people so it shouldn’t be called in good words.
Actually, gambling is not a bad or wrong thing until or unless you are playing it for fun but when you start playing it for earning bigger amounts, then it becomes something that can’t be entertained by your family members also. You will find no best games other than the games present in gambling but due to bad acts of people related with these games, they are portrayed negatively.
