I don't know if there are already some casinos existing with the folowing features:

-In every losing bet, 1% of it will be donated to their handpicked charity
-For every win, only 95% of the pot will be transfered to your wallet and the remaining 5% will go to your handpicked charity that is also available on the platform.

If something like this exist, will you still play? Do you think it is a bad idea to make the users make a donation in this way?

as long as the gambling platform doesn't get any commission on the 5% of the winning bet I would. in today's time it's hard to trust any type of charity since the majority of the donation doesn't get to the people they promised to help.

I haven't found a casino that generous to the charity, 1% is small in percentage but a huge amount when there are number of people who are losing, and that would not work actually because what would happen if the casino would lose and they already allocate 1% of the losing bet from gamblers.

1 % is enough. Casino takes something around 1 % from every single game, so such idea would take all their profit. The better idea is to create some charity championships, or motivate gamblers to donate, for example some free spins or some rakeback.

And yeah, i would pay

This is effectively lowering your odds. People argue that house edge makes you always lose in the long run but adding another fee 5% on top of it is even worse.

I'm sure that giving to charity will make you feel better about gambling but most gamblers count their money. I would rather play in a normal casino and then decide if I want to give away some of my money.

Why not, the moment with such casinos will be fruitful in my.own case. Having in mind the welfare of the less privilege in my opinion is a welcome development and not just to win for oneself alone. In such a casino, I will play and play again just to contribute my quoter to the community of the less privilege. There is no amount of winnings that won't go down the drain but helping those who are in need will be a blessing in disguise.

I will play as well, because at least you know you are helping even in your little way those who are need with your gambling activities. However, I haven't seen any casino or gambling website that is doing that kind of philanthropic activity. Maybe it's time for casinos to do some charitable acts.

What OP suggest here is that who gambles should give to charity as well! I don't like that, I wouldn't gamble
under that circumstances in any casino! I would stop gambling if something like this becomes mandatory for
every casino in the world!
But that can't happen, and will not happen! People don't want to mix their gambling with charity. That is for
famous and rich people who have poker for charity and they just lose their money and that's it!
Charity should be on casino and their profit, if it's too high why to not take some and give to poor people!

If some of our winnings will really go to charity, i would still definitely play because it could change people perspectives about gambling that they could not consider gambling a bad habit because some of our winnings will go to charity, even we mostly used our money in gambling. But the only problem that we could face here is that corruption can be involved because even only 1% of it will be donated to their handpicked charity, we are still not sure if that 1% will really go to charity. So the best solution for this is casinos should be sending players some proof if they have donated the money for no trace of corruption.

To make this happen it needs a trusted gambling site.

It will still go directly to them right?
Transparency will the key.
For example I have already contributed like $500. Will they really use that time and effort to send it to the charity that I pick?
That may become a time consuming work for them.

A lot easier if they have charity names to pick in their website to send in bulks. But it better be international, specially countries who are in bad shape of economy.

Not aware if there are gambling sites which do offer such help because in gambling, the aim is to 'win' or to simply make profit, right? I would probably still play but in some conditions, there should be a proof that the percentage of winnings being alloted to charity are really being given and also, to what charity it goes. Let's face the reality, corruption would always have a place to anything which involves money, that is how powerful money is. A matter of having a credible and trustworthy gambling site whoch would be transparent in this aspect because it is the players' money that would be used.

But I don't think this is enough in order to help while gambling. I would more look forward with people winning 'bigtime' and donating some of their winnings to a cahrity perhaps. 'Coz in this case, it would seem to be some sort of taxation, or forcibly donating, some gamblers won't play because they do not want to help and that should be fine, everyone has a freedom and a help should be voluntary, that gives weight to the idea of helping other people.

If that is a mandatory call in a certain gambling site, it probably won't give the interest. I know there is no such rule and to know that a gambler can give something if they want to, it is just an option. That is why we can't find such gambling sites existed today and even it has existed, I shouldn't make use of it. It is really against the well of individuals and that 5% from our winning, it is big enough to cover up my losses in the past days. This winning is a consolation price either, if that only 1%, maybe I have to consider it.

I kind of agree with this.

But I might still be playing for the sake of charity, although it cannot be all the time. Nobody will be gambling all the time for the sake of charity. In the long run, that little percentages will accumulate and will affect to a certain extent the total numbers. That matters a lot to a gambler.

The gambler will be motivated to play more knowing that it will be donated to charities, it's a big attraction or motivation for gamblers to continue gambling, they know have good reason to add more money knowing that they are doing good for every win or loss but in the end, they will be the one going to lose if they do not have control.

If that kind of casino exists, there may be an extra reason for you to play gambling.

Entertain yourself by playing, and at the same time help other people in need. Also, the name of the casino will now be recognized so people will get a positive view to players because the donation comes from them, it's a win-win scenario.

But for some who gamble for earning a profit, it might be a disadvantage for them. For example, I win $5000 then a $250 will be given to the charity, it's very huge so maybe it should have a range and 5% is the maximum.

I don't think it will affect the players, I mean the deducted funds will be donated to charity.
players will not mind it too much and those who don't like it will avoid casinos that enforce such rules, I personally don't mind if the rules are actually passed later.

I think that is a great idea.

But I think this should be done by the gamblers itself. The gambler will be setting up the percentage of the amount they wanted to donate and it should depend on the deposit they have. Gamblers might regret doing that in the long run since they might have a good amount in deposit and would just want to bet the amount they betted.

Do you mean that the gamblers will personally save the said percentage and donate it personally to the charity they want? It is a good idea, but as you said, gamblers might regret this, because most of the time, gamblers tend to risk all their remaining money in gambling in exchange for having the chance to win.

I don't think if they will be saving it or automatically sent it to the charity.

I think it is best if the gambling sites have some charities that gamblers can choose from though I think that would limit the gamblers and might think twice about these donations. I guess it is better if they would be saving it first before they send it making the amount good and it will help a lot of people or maybe kids in the process.

I don't see anything I'm ok with it, in fact, you will feel good doing that, this is the best time to donate the world is in pandemic and there are a lot of people and industry that needs support from the government and from private sectors and individuals, and 5% of winning is not really that big amount online casinos that will do that can have tax exemption or deduction to encourage others as well.

If ever the government will implemented that law about giving the some of the percentage of the profit or the lose of the people to the charityks a good idea because once they implement it charity will not hard to find money to help the other people because every month or evert weeks they have funds to use to buy foods and other needed of the people.

^ But that is belongs to humanity that something we can consider harassment if you will give donation unwillingly. If we are referring to the physical casinos that are legal and run by the government, definitely the percentage of the profit really goes to a charitable institution. Online casinos that are merely not recognized by the government or still illegal then the idea of 1% of the total profit of the gambling site and 5% of the winning prize will be donated to any charitable institution and I will definitely continue playing on these sites. If any of the gambling sites will implement this idea, it probably encourages everyone to patronize their site. Nevertheless, the idea may put those gambling sites to risk for they probably are caught by the authorities once they already do charitable works.

Every business has a social responsibility with them and probably almost all of the gambling sites or the people earning form it fulfills it on their own way. But pre-dictating the amount and the charity which would receive it an absurd idea that would create more problems than the solution it does.
Donating should be by choice and no one should be forced to donate to any specific charity. If such site exists, I'd not use it.

You said it right and actually I heard stake.com is doing such initiatives where they will donate some money for corona relief and there was nothing charged from the gamblers though we were allowed to donate if we wish to, that is the better way of doing it rather than putting pressure on gamblers to forcefully donate on their winning bets.

Donation as the word suggests itself must not be forced into someone and putting a rule like that would kill the actual intention of casino, although I like the idea of the donation from casinos since a big part of bitcoin transactions happen there and will do a big impact if a part of that money is used for the good cause.

The government would love that, but the question is, is it viable to the business? the answer is no.
Charity is a thing that is not compulsory, the main purpose of the government to regulate casino is just to get taxes from it and to ensure that they are following the rules and regulations and penalize them if they will not.

The government have their own charity fund as well, casinos are private entity when they can also make their own, but like I said, the government can't order a casino to do such thing that will affect their profitability.
