Maybe because of their religion,in that they have consider gambling is a sin thing to do so they want others also to move away from the gambling.But gambling can be good or bad that how we are using them the negativity keeps increasing because most of the players getting addicted to gambling and lost their lives.
This is one of the reason but not the supreme one. Actually three are so few countries where pole follow religion or you can say those counties are regulating over their religious laws. But majority countries are just making shit out of their citizens. They allow them legally to gamble anywhere. For such, sometimes gambling is promoted in a positive and sometimes in a bad way.
It can’t be a supreme reason because every religion has some different perspective about gambling. Some religions allow their followers to gamble because they think it has been done by the holy messengers in their religion while others disagree and say that conducting gambling is not appreciable. Gambling is portrayed negatively in my opinion because its ends are not good and against the humanity.
It is not only religion, because I think that no religion allows gambling. No government allows gambling openly. In west only casino specified for gambling. In my country gambling is prohibited and is illegal. Gambling is the mother of all crimes and those who are addicted of gambling can do every illegal activity to get some money and with that money they gamble.
I think you have made a mistake here. There are some religions that do exist in this world which allow gambling for some reason. Not openly they say that O followers, go for gambling but they also allow them to gamble in some conditions. If the government would start allowing their people openly to gamble, their reputation in the international market would become zero.

Because its a way for wasting money instead of making your money useful like spending it the right way. And gambling attracts greediness and all the negative things a gambler can do.


Everything is wasting your money compared to not spending it on anything.   Gambling is a past time that is actually more healthy then drinking alcohol or smoking which I believe are far popular.   Better people might use their brains some in calculating risk then spending that money on writing off your body parts

In some ways it's a great time for gambling. There are a lot of new casinos and sportsbooks opening lately that give out some really nice welcome offers. But there are also a lot of scam sites looking to take advantage of the hype. I think if you are digilgent, and use as many welcome offers and bonuses as you can get, then it's a great time to be playing, and only likely to get better soon as poker takes centre stage.

Despite this, gambling still gets a lot of negative association due to the horror stories of it ruining peoples lives. The media is mostly geared towards sharing the two extremes of the spectrum, e.g. huge winners and huge losers, it forgets that the 99% of players fall somewhere in-between, neither losing too much money, nor winning much either.
The negative part of gambling is going to be portrayed negatively. I think it should act as a lesson for everybody who thinks it’s always okay to gamble when we all know it should be moderate. There will always be a balance between losing much money and winning. You are considered lucky if you got the chance to win a big sum.

It is because it is what we normally heard that gambling can only ruin our life. People have different opinion but for me, gambling is only for those who's money is flooding and not to those who only gamble to try their luck to make an instant money. More likely that it is only design for rich people and sorry for those who don't have enough money to gamble.
We hear a true fact as gambling is caught destroying the lives of many people related to it and that is the main reason for which every person whether he is a kid, a young one or a mature person, he is resisted not to go for gambling because his loved ones are well aware about the fact that gambling can never produce good results at any cost.

In many countries gambling is straight up illegal, usually due to religious restrictions. However the main reason gambling is painted in a negative light is due to all the negative situations that surround gamblers, e.g. alcohol and substance abuses, violence and depression. Of course, this isn't always how it is, in fact it is a rare occurrence for this to be the case, but remember bad news spreads much faster than bad news. Gambling is one of those industries plagued by this, as is crypto in fact. Put them both together and you've got bad news that travel faster than the speed of sound.

It's not a negative way of earning , gambling is more like a easy sort of way for making quick cash and the chances of making that is possible but the problem is within the people who use this method, most of them do make profit but because of there greed they continue to gamble and lose it all. For example, I aslo couldn't stop when won big amount as I said greednes ate my all money. But there is not negative side in gambling. Because I usually play for fun!

Sure, but it depends on the context: there are greedy people losing money, and unfortunately this is a majority and that is why it has such a general negative feedback. It is like with alcohol. There are abusers and they created all the bad press.

But there are also people who use it as a not-so-regular pleasure in a mild manner and I don't see anything wrong with it.

Gambling portrayed negatively because of the main reason gambling can have a negative effect to the person involved. And also I think gambling can lead a person to be addicted,greedy and some will commit crimes just to get a money to feed their addiction.
Gambling addiction is same like drugs/smoke addiction though and the result is always negative, i'm sure there are many lifes that become ruined because of gambling and also gambling is a sin on all religions. Even in my country, gambling is banned here.
I think it is bigger addiction than that of drugs because it can happen that the drugs supply discontinues due to some reasons but these gambling casinos will never be stopped or banned in the country where gambling has more followers because these casinos are paying huge amount of taxes to the governments as well as other amounts.

Yeah that is the reason too. Those countries where religion is being followed wholeheartedly or those countries are founded on basis of their religions, there is hard to gamble. Those countries have banned gambling because this gambling is harmful and prohibited in mostly every religion on this world. No religion wants its followers to get their lives on danger. That is why it is not so much positive.
It's not all about the religion. Everyone knows the consequences of gambling that's why it is portrayed negatively all over the world. In many countries gambling is prohibited. In my country there are no Casino end gamblers use a hidden Place for gambling. In my society a gambler has no respect even in his family. A gambler ruins his life and his family as well.

Gambling addiction has financially ruined a lot of people and that is the reason why so many people are against it. But the problem is that these same people overlook the benefits which comes as a result of gambling. There are a lot of benefits, such as job creation and increased tax revenue.

Yes, gambling is always considered negative by everyone because it can harm yourself .. because gambling will make people lose consciousness because it can be addicted and can fall poor if continue to play gambling .. and when playing can trigger the lust without control and it is very self-harmful ..

But it is an activity many use for entertainment to reduce stress and anxiety and increase focus on more important things in their life. However, a very small percentagr of people get addicited and it can become unhealthy for them if untreated.

Yes, for that reason it can be self-destructive because gambling can make you lose everything and can also make you fall into poverty.
Victory in gambling is just a matter of luck only and in the end you will still end up with defeat as well, and gambling will make you become addicted and there are still many bad or negative sides if you keep playing gambling.
It is self-destructive type of thing that is the only reason behind its failure in the market because people want something that can provide them profits in long terms rather than something that can take away their profits in short terms and gambling does this with its followers that is why people hate it more than they like it and I am also one of them.

Risk level is too high that’s the reason why they portrayed gambling negatively.
You may lose all your money within few seconds and that’s what people are afraid of.

Don’t compare it with trading, there is a huge difference. In trading you have variety of options to minimize your loss but in gambling you don’t have a choice.


There are many similarities in trading and gambling like :

1) In both trading and gambling, one can increase chances of success with experience.

2) Both can get addictive after initial successes.

3) There is always some sort of luck involved in succeeding. The percentage is more in gambling though.

This is because we have had so many people without the basic rudiments of a gambler trooping into gambling on a daily basis with the sole aim of making profits and these guys fall victim a lot of times to elementary mistakes which they should have learnt before they came gambling but because money is the prime focus they don't lean anything and they just go from impulsive gambler to addictive gambler in no time.

More likely that it is only design for rich people and sorry for those who don't have enough money to gamble.

But in reality, many people with mediocre earnings take gambling as a means of doubling their money quickly. And there have been many instances in society where people have been miserable because of it. That's why gambling is described as bad thing to do. The risk is too high and if we aren't ready with the bad result that may come, it is better to stop it asap.

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?


It was an image made by those who would not want gambling to be taught to the next generations because it is very risky. Even for those who are good at it, sometime broke or lose eventually.
