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?

Im still playing if they have casino casino exist like that but I think it is a better idea if the profit of the gambling casino for the whole month like 1 percent will be donated to the charity not the the money of the player because we know player who is gonna lose mostly but the gambling casino most of the time they are winner or the one whi gets always profit

I think you got that idea on PAGCOR right? but I don't know how percent they distribute for charity but if someone follow the same what they did for sure I will play in that site since I know my money lose or won have proper destination which could save some lives or anything. But i think it's far to be happen since I think it needs legality before this plan will be done by any online gambling sites.

I will still play in that casino or the gambling site. I think that is okay for every people who are gambling in that such place because while they play, no matter if they win or lose, they can help other people by giving their money to the charity. I think that is a good idea that can be applied in the gambling site, and perhaps that can help more people in out there.

I guess that in some casino, that thing already applied, but I think some of the casinos are not telling other people or media about donating some money to the charities.

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.

If they will help, it will usually be taken from their net operational income, gross income less expenses. .

I don’t know a casino who is involved also in charity as these are two very different things compared to each other.I think I would play without problems since the percentage taken from my bets or winning combination is not that big although many would consider it a big amount.

I don’t think this will happen soon as casinos primary mission is to take money from people and give money to people.

I will,
If ever that there is an existing casino like this, I don't mind playing. Their intention is good and as long as they can provide the legitimacy of this activity, it would be good and a lot of people will probably reach their help.

I think freebitco.in also donates in a similar fashion since they donate 20% of HE at specified times. This way, users can choose if they want to participate or not by playing outside of the scheduled time.

What you propose seems like an obligatory thing, not voluntary.

That is a nice feature, I was in awe there's something like that already on a casino. This time I guess that feature should be implemented by most prominent gambling sites if they want to help those who are in need because of the pandemic. I think I'll still play even this do exists, 5% for every win isn't that of a burden if it help others.

Which gambling site offer this type of donation ? If you know anyone , do let us know.
I will still play with these conditions because if i lose i will know that 1% of my money is denoted. Also in case of win, i will be denoting 5% which is also good because we should all be giving some charity in these times.

There is a gambling site that launched that feature where you could play charity games. I think it was FreeBitco.in, i dont know the procedure but you could try and head there. Also i hope they could add some transparency to the donations in how it is used to help those people who are in need.

PAGCOR or the Philippine amusement and gaming corporation have a good reputation because of their donations in the charity. Recently, the PAGCOR donates 150 million php worth of medical supplies and food to fight the pandemic which is the coronavirus. I think it is not only the gambling industry or corporations that are giving donation or having foundations. I recently saw a gambling sites that have also a feature where they are donating small percentage of money for the persons who are in need.

FreeBitco.in do offer a charity program for covid-19 but that one is completely different which the OP mentioned. In that program the freebitco give certain percentage of amount which the people wager in certain period of time. You can find COVID-19 Fundraiser ROUND 8 FreeBitco.in  (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=320959.msg54365303#msg54365303) information.

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.

Nope,I didn't know anything about PAGCOR (seriously)
It just happen that I saw the Charity in regard of Covid-19 by Royse, and it just happen that I saw some random post in FJ. 🤭

Well, it's a nice feature for a gambling site. Not every gambling site is willing to donate to a charity or any organization. But of course, not every gambler would agree to that idea. Not everyone as well is willing to donate parts of their winnings. It would be better if a gambler can decide whether to donate a certain percentage they want of their wins or not. Since after all, they have won that money so they have the right to decide about it.

Personally, I like this agreement since while playing, you can also help other people at the same time. And I don't think it's bad just because you donated the money you get from gambling. First of all, you gamble legally so there's nothing bad about it. And of course, that charity or organization probably knows about that, and since they agreed to it, it means they are fine with that. What matters is that you are helping and you never violated any laws.

I think this is great. Usually, when I gamble, I don't care how much I am spending since in the past I can afford it and when I win I usually bring foods or gifts to my nieces. I think this is the same and it is better if that would be automatically activated so that we can't either stop it or when we have a change in our mind to avoid it.

If there's something like this probably the players won't be thinking that much when they lose because they know where a portion of their money goes.

Some are already doing this and it encourages other players to participate especially during this pandemic. They also count themselves that's donating.

So that's an effective house edge of 3% pretty much.

Absolutely nobody would play at this site if it was a simple dice or crash site.

However, if it offered a good playing experience, and a long session length, then there is a chance it could pick up steam. That said, I am fairly sure that almost all gamblers would rather play with a lower house edge and keep the extra money, rather than giving it to charity.

Most gamblers are already negative, they're not looking to stack the odds against themselves any further. However, I'd like to see a 'tip' option implemented at casinos, giving the players the option to donate to some of their favorite charities.

I don't know, it should be reversed

Seem not really fair went the percentage winning to the donation higher than we are losing the bets.

It would be good if we lose the 5% go to charity and winning only share 1% of the total winning. Kind of this would be good on the jackpot gambling, I has been playing with this kind of term probably will be jackpot went someone winning the jackpot a few percentages go to the charity and everyone doesn't have any problem of this.

I am just curious, how did you get the 3% house edge?

I only pay attention to the at 1% o the losing bet that will go to the charity, and OP did not mention a certain house edge or a certain game.

Many who do such things win in gambling bets, some of the wins are donated to the orphanage and donations are given to those in need, it has happened at my place of residence.

But it depends on the individual there are also stingy and some are generous donating a few dollars from gambling.
I also prefer to donate if I win in gambling, I think that in winning there are other people's rights there that need to be given, not ours completely.

I think this kind of action is not listed on the game of the players because if you win and then some of your funds will undergo into the charity I think it is not the responsibility of the players that the earnings they've got will go into the charity because most of the casino today all of the funds of the player won on the game will direct on them all of the profit and it depends on them if they want to donate their funds. Also, I'm looking forward to the highest-earning casinos that they will get some charity funds on their company because we all know that casino is one of the largest company earning a lot of income and profit so one of the good ideas they will do is make their own charity at the same time to help the people and it depends on the player if they want to donate or not to help.

Donation is voluntarily and compulsorily. So, this is definitely a forced donation which we will see. Also, not necessary where they are donating, or the list exists people may like to donate or would want to do their own way. Though again it will depend from person to person and I would have like the idea that for every win or lose the website donates an x% from their pocket to specified lists.

It's a good idea.  ;)
We can't just keep on winning freely without thinking of something.
If it is for the good then why not. I think a lot of us will love that kind of idea.

But what gambling site offers that kind of service?

Some big online casinos and sports betting may have their specific charity programs to help out. And most of them are probably trusted. It is not only about the trust, but also about how the gambling industry also wants to help out for charity.
personally, it will be no matter for me how percent the amount for charity. As long as it will be really helpful, it will be pleased. And of course, we can believe in the online casino for the charity as long as they are trusted ones. However, most of them, once more, are trusted.
So, it doesn't mean how much amount of donations. High impact derives from small things.
Let's keep playing as long as it can help and also can make you earn more and more money.

Donating isn't a problem and is a good act of a good samaritan. Donating money money that came from gambling is quietly okay. It doesn't mean where you get your money but you make sure that it is legal and in good ways. We all know that gambling isn't that good for those people who only think of themselves and ate by thr attitude of being greedy. We don't know how many of those people out there are playing gambling for their self interest but of course the point here is there are people who still like to donate and help others.

I will play gambling with all of my money just because I want to earn but because I have a goal in myself that involves a lot of money and I need this money to grow and grow in order for me to make things possible. I will also be open to donate in charities and sponsors some events. I am happy with my money and also the idea of helping others.

Isn't this like the PCSO? They are the ones responsible for raising and providing funds for medical-related programs, medical assistance, and other types of services? I think it's a significant contribution to the country, but not the corrupt people in it, though.

If that type of casino exists where there's a compulsory gambling donation, it wouldn't be a problem for me. I will still play if it's entertaining, though. I gamble because I want to be entertained and an additional plus if there's a donation to the best charity.

I really don't have an idea whenit comes to existing casinos like what I have stated in the OP, also am not a fan of Lotto 😂... So I really don't have a clue on what kind of services they have.

---

I wonder what could be the impact of this to the market if most of the casinos where like that?

I've never seen any casino have these things you said, besides I think there are laws on casinos that would limit those things you said, maybe I'm wrong about that because I'm not a lawyer and I don't know about the laws and rules of other countries but in my country I highly doubt that any casino would offer these things because of the law


Of course I would keep playing, I would be happy to know that the casino would be helping other people

Well mate, you cannot just rely on what they are saying what you should asking them is transparency of the donation so it will be trusted not by you. I don't have any thing against the charitable programs that we have right there, I am just very skeptical on how they are managing it after accumulating the amount because words of affirmation is not enough to validate the actions. So it will be more attracted for people if they are providing proof of actions made. And fyi charity is voluntarily, no one is forced to donate in any amount.

So, we are paying 5% to the charity from our wins and the casino pays 1% from their wins technically, how does this even make logic?
Casinos are the better earners and I should say only earners between gamblers and casinos so they must take the initiative and make better contributions so I feel good with the idea only if the reverse happens, where the casinos pay 5% of their profits monthly and we as gamblers are happy to pay 1-2% of donation to the charity.

Sounds good to me but the charity must be wonder is there will be any casinos who will ever do this. At the same time, we cannot argue that casino will not do that forever.

which charity organization? I mean there are several organization and not all can be defined trusted due their policy or their history.
otherwise some people want support a local organization (like red cross) and not a foreign organization .

the idea is not bad but some time this 1% can hit the profit of "house" and it can be the risk to not be anymore profitable.
plus if you cut off 5% of each winning you are cut also the possibility for player to have even a small reward.

It can sound a nice idea but I don't think in the long term it can be sustainable.
and we are not talking about "ethics" since for some cultures it's very arguable make money in this way...

Its not a bad idea to send/donate on every bets to the charity but with the name of charity people might get scammed by the gambling sites itself because we can't very whether they have donated the amount or not to the charity.

Freebitco announced donation for the covid relief from what they make with all the bets and decided to donate 20% on it but there will be no deduction on winning amount.

As long as it's just an option I think they will still gamble there. But when it's a fixed system that requires every gambler to make a donation, I'm not sure there will be many gamblers interested in gambling on the site. However, ideas like this are very good because on one side there is at least a gambling site which means all gamblers have a high concern to help.

Didnt see this one for casinos that do have this kind of set-up on how they do collect up donations but i do see those gambling sites that do consider on making out donations came from their own pocket
like Freebitco which this should be the thing has to be done rather than imposing those kind of deductions directly to their gamblers which isnt really appealing at all.Donation should be in kind not
totally making it as a compulsory thing for the site because in result this will surely affect the number of players which are trying to avoid such deductions.

Well, yeah, it requires every gambler besides its on every brt that they make, though I already considered that most of them will not agree, for in any sense, they want their money in full and just come later with a decision about donation.

We have known humans when it comes to charities and it is already an usual thing to see that they won't agree on some certain things such as this.

Honestly, not with that donation thing but gamblers will play on the site if it's meet their criteria e.g. the house edge, reputation, good customer support, accepted crypto deposits, fast withdrawals, and generally, the site features.

Sites don't have to do this mandatorily as in most cases, they have a separate budget for donation purposes. They can attract more players if they will not get some portion of the winner's profit.

In other words, the donation thing is the one that will encourage people to play for that site since while they gambling, they know they are helping but not via deducting 5% to winners profit. That's the typical system in casinos and physical gambling places, especially lottery.

With the blockchain the gambling platform can share a proof it has really donated the funds to the charity if the wallet of the charity organization is known.

This is a good idea and a new way of getting a donation from players. But I think if this kind of feature is mandatory to all players, The player traffic would probably reduce. Let's be true that not everyone does want to donate or maybe they have some trust issues about donating. Making it as an option will probably be effective and can be a win-win situation for players/casino/charity and beneficiaries. If this kind of feature added into a crypto gambling site it should be optional I think.

I don't find any bad for donating some funds to charities but to cut 5% for our winnings? well its big amount that will be taken out to our accounts and imagine if we lose on our bets for sure we will struggle to recover our losses since there's always 5% cut will be taken from us.

Donation must not be compulsory on Gambling and the best implementation for that is to have a donation button so if Gamblers want to donate they just click the button and choose on which charity organisation he want to donate his money/winnings.

Maybe they have that idea and charity programs but maybe they are not bold enough to show it publicly which I supposed it is a need to show it to avoid doubts.

5% of your winning is not big enough for a person who has a good heart and the intention is for helping. If we have that will, there is no problem and could actually boost trust. But before doing that, a player must have to be aware and must be clear in both parties to avoid unnecessary issues.

Gambling owners know that if they will deduct winnings just because they will donate it charity, some gamblers might shift into others. It's not that these gamblers aren't supporting the casinos good deed but we all know that owners have a big revenue for operating casinos.

It's always a practice that casinos donate to a charity that came from their revenue rather than deducts it from their winners.

I will not play to these casinos unless they are known already in the gambling industry. If those sites are new, a big no.


Set aside that good deed.

5% of winning is a big deal if gamblers already gambling on that site for long and lose more. These losers are the ones who fund the site therefore without these losers, the site will not last long. The goal of these owners is to maintain their players so a deduction to winning might change the direction of the wind.

Owners' revenue is increasing everyday while their players are losing everyday. The donation should not be mandatory and as I said, casinos itself are the ones that will donate and not their players.

We can't force or suggest anybody to be generous in giving such donations mate, and maybe it depends on how kind-hearted are we to make that certain actions. What we need for now is that we should enjoy the game and win bigger profit in the long run. Probably if we're too lucky to gain good wins, then that's the time to share what we have.

I have never found casinos with such regulations, which apply handpicked charity to their users. But even if there was, me choose not to play
in casinos that implement it. Because donations that are applied every time you win or lose are very heavy by the user, it is better to make
the owners casinos donation. Which casinos owners definitely have a big profit, so though giving a donation is not a hard thing to do. If casino
users have to make a donation, it can be done but not required. But voluntary, it's a wise decision in my opinion.

I really don't know if there are existing casino gambling with that kind of idea, giving 1% of your bet and 5% of the reward to the charity is a really good idea because that small amount of percentage of your money is just a simple thing but for those people who will receive it as a charity will be a great appreciation. Imagine, there are many people who are saying that gambling is not good at all because it makes you addicted and the worst things are that you may lose your life when gambling and if they will know that they are some gambling that gives charity for those people who needs it.

If there are gambling like that, I would choose it to play because that is more productive than other gambling because aside from earning money and evoking while playing, you also give help to others.

Why not? As long as you gamble to entertain yourself, playing while having the mindset of donations being made when winning is a pretty good one tbh. Unlike the mindset of playing while expecting more money to come to you, which inevitably just ends up to you being addicted to gambling. Like it gives you the mindset of one more, one more and I can win again, one more and I can hit the jackpot kind of thing. Tbh, those numbers are already pretty huge if you take into account the number of people gambling. Besides, this actually makes gambling a bit more helpful and could possibly give it a more positive image. You help while entertaining yourself, ain't that quite nice right?

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.

It is not bad at all to gamble with a good purpose. If it's donating let's say 2 to 5 % of your wins to a charity program then it's fine with me. However, as a donator of course I wanted to see some proofs that the gambling site who do that kind of platform will really giving those donations to the one's in need. I am open for that idea.
 
 Though I never saw some casinos doing that, maybe it will be better if the casino will not forcely get the 5 % pot. Afterall if it's donation, it should be giving out wholeheartedly without the reqt's of cashing out 5% because actually we can give more than that if we voluntary give.

Five percent is just a quaint number but if you think about it in a large scale, that is a huge cut for player, and if I were to form an answer on the player side I would say that it is a disadvantage, but when it is on hte business side, it is a whole different story, the answer for that is an absolute yes, because these one percent that the business will impart as a charity can be used for tax deduction and will greatly benefit the business, plus the gambling business model is structured in a way that the house will win most of the time.

Well 5% is not a big portion actually and knowing that you help someone through that is an acceptable reason to not complain however its another story if we're talking about huge money.

For me its fine and should not be an issue because there's a valid reason, its our little way to help those in need. But it woul be best if we often win so we can give more.

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.

Charity shouldn't be forced on people, it makes no sense and even God won't accept such acts as giving to those that are in need because you were been forced to give and it's not from your honest heart. Assuming the platform has an option to choose whether you intend participating in the charity rules then I won't mind using the platform but it becomes compulsory that every gambler must accept that condition as a result of it been imprinted in their terms and conditions, I won't patronage such casinos.

PS: instead I'll go gamble somewhere else and hopefully after making enough profit, I'll decide on how many percentage I intend donating to not just some charity organization but the helpless fellow on the street where I reside.

That's a hard job to do, unless you are a winner in gambling,.. the reality is most of us are losing in gambling, and the casinos always wins so they are the ones who should be giving donation as they make a lot of money, whatever their system is the main intention of the gambler is just to win and if we are lucky that's the time we can think of donating our money, but like I said, it's a hard job to do.

The 1% from the losing bet doesn't matter, you only need to know how much is the difference between the actual and casino's payout (for winning bets) to get the house edge.

In this case OP specified 5% would be reduced in each win so you get 2.5% more or less it's 3% since casinos need to profit from it as well. For a more detailed explanation in calculating the house edge you can check this post (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4487738.msg41957734#msg41957734) from buwaytress.

I also like the idea and it doesn't bother anyone too much because when we win we are fine paying a small percentage of winnings to the charity but I believe rather than taking fees per win it would be a nice idea to charge the fees on the cumulative winnings for the casino or the gambler.

I was actually considering paying all my rake-back earned from all casinos to a charity if possible, it is not big but I do wager a lot all day and ,monthly I can easily donate all the rake-back I collect without dropping a sweat.

I believe big casinos need to come forward and take some strong steps and maybe sportsbooks too.

Yeah i believe OP gets this from PAGCOR's charitable works now and really admire this advocacy because at least there assurance of part from gaming industries will be for those who badly needed now.

Of i am not mistaken there is a thread here that has this kind of topic or in exchange i guess?

But like you if this will be offered from the gambling sites that advertised here in forum?i will gladly play even with small amount .

That's what make it special, and good in the sight of the Lord. When you plan towards giving to those in need, the blessing of the Lord locates you and probably that day might just be one of your luckiest in regards to winning big. We shouldn't mandate people to give people because you feel they're the ones benefiting more from a system. Every individual should learn to give willingly even when you don't have enough for yourself. Learn to share the little you have. The casinos might donate thousands of dollars and to the eyes to men, they have done well but only God who reads the heart knows better.

PS: most of those donation from the casino might just be an avenue to promote themselves as good and also to get more customers from the community they're exercising this charity in. Nevertheless, if the casino willingly does this then I got no issue with that, it's their choice but they shouldn't be mandated to do so. Lets not force giving and take the whole fun out of it by making it a business.

If this will be initiated in gambling sites?for sure there are so many gamblers here that wanted to help others by donating but the problem is they are prioritizing their betting money so the end they cannot donate as they lose already their money.

I will surely play mate,at least trying my luck to win at the same time a chance to Help charities even in small percent from my gambling activities.

Depends on the casino, if the casino is well trusted then it wont be a big problem for me. With this case, we are donating while gambling which awesome although what we donate is just small amount of money. In this current situation, many people needs our donation so if we want to donate then we can just donate it directly without gambling it first. If we should relate it to gambling/casino, we can find casino that is offering this program so we can send some amount through our gambling account toba specific address then all collected funds will be allocated to the chosen charity.

If there is a gambling service that provides service as you mentioned, of course, I would prefer to carve here and donate while I am enjoying my gambling pleasure. Since I usually play for pleasure, I am someone who plays games until my case is reset, so there will be no excessive changes for me. However, I would like to state that if such a service exists, the accounts should be constantly monitored and these donations should be done only with the consent of the user while making a deposit or withdrawing money. I think that many users would not prefer it if these transactions will be made one by one for the gain and loss that will occur in each game. I think the method you specified is not a bad method and it will help to collect nice amounts of donations if it is applied.

No for me. Simple as that.

I'm not a hardcore gambler and I would want to help the people in need at this time, I'd rather give it to them directly or give the money to a trusted people who are really helping those in need. I don't see any gambling company that is doing this thing unless they are helping in silence. I'd like the strategy to help though but at this moment, few people have spare money to be used for gambling purposes since they are keeping their cash to buy their needs.

It feels like users will be forced to make donations with their bets.
If this systems was not obligatory then I think that it is a good way to attract users in such a casino platform.
I don't think that there are a lot of user who would choose to make bets and donations but it is a good idea to be diversified from other casinos.

This may look good but it should not be made as a standard. If the casino wants to donate to a charity then it should just organize an event especially for it. For example, it could stage a charity day or week with these rules. But having these rules day by day is not attractive to a casino. This would only add up to the house edge burden. 

I think it would be good if a player chose to donate his winnings to charity or not!
Either donate from the total casino winnings...

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.

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.

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.

^ 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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

   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!

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.

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.

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  :)

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 don't mind playing on a casino that have features like that. First, you will have your fun by playing games you like and second is you will also be able to help many people in the charity that you hand picked or the casino hand picked especially at a time like this where there is a pandemic or even if it's not a pandemic like natural disaster such as earthquake and typhoons.

The 1% might sound really small, but that's going to rack up when multiple bets are placed, which will hurt the bank roll in a real devastating manner. Again, what if after winning the bet (and 5% of it being donated), you lose what you won? This means you didn't donate anything, it was the casino that donate the 5% and the 1%. This would just never happen. Though casinos can donate an extremely small percentage of users loss. In case of winners, they can be given a choice to donate when trying to withdraw.

I would definitely play in one of those casinos!

Doing handpicked charity can never be a bad idea. However, casino don't need to create a separate site with a separate campaign. Already existing online casinos could easily arrange a campaign to help, for example, hospitals. They only need to declare that they will donate some percentage of their profits to charity.

Thinking about it, I do agree.

We can't just expect everybody to agree with this since if it is really mandatory, people might just choose other gambling sites and they might even consider this as a scam since they will never know if that money is being sent to that charity or being kept by the owners of the site. I can agree to this since to start with, I don't have that much money that I use to gamble so 5% is not really that big.

Is there someone there who can provide a list of gambling sites that implement features like the OP said, I doubt if there are gambling sites. Still, I'm sure maybe every gambling site provides charity differently, large gambling sites must set aside some profit for charitable activities.

There is nothing wrong with it as long as the money can reach to the target charity and there should be many players that will play this if the team behind the project are trusted or they have proven that they can be trusted like they have proven that they didn't get a single penny to those shares and all the money will reach to the hand picked charity 100%.

I have no problem playing in this kind of platform as I like playing while I know that I am also helping those people that are in need knowing that I am only playing using the extra money that I have.

I am willing to play, but I think 5% is too much. And also, It is much better if gamblers themselves will do it personally once they won and not the concept of every time they won, 5% will be transferred to the charity. It looks like even if you are willing to give to the charity, there is this mandatory percentage to donate you have to follow.

I would be very glad to play in such way because this is hitting 2 birds in one stone.

Imagine i sustaining my gambling habits while helping those who needed?

Please if there are sites that offering this drop here the site so i can contribute some games to help and try to win as well.

I think the 1% donation in every lose is a good idea. At least we know that some of the money we lose can help others that needs money the most. Well about getting 95% only in every win, yes it is also good idea but I think it is better if the winning amount has only a range. Why ? There are small gambler(s) who put a little amount of their money so when they win, of course it will only be a little profit. But again, I am not against to this. Both good idea, and yes I am willing to play.

Well, it is unusual to have a proposal like this, perhaps legal casinos they are already paying tax and part of it really go to a charity like social welfare. 1% of the profit and 5% of the winning prize will go to a charitable institution is not a bad idea and I think most of the time we lose and seldom we won and the prize could not even compensate for the total losses that we have. Losing 5% of the prize will not hurt at all since we have already lost a huge amount before and besides it will still go to your own choice of a charitable institution. Indeed, --if all casinos will implement such an idea then we could not go against it everyone will just follow the rules like this or not to play anymore.

I wonder if there will be any reports and guarantees that these funds will go to charity? If so, then I do not mind, but if it's something like we just keep the money and at our discretion we will dispose of it, then no.

I think as long as the platform is transparent in regards to tha amount they have gathered for the charity and proof that they are giving it to the charity. That is a small amount and it won't hurt sharing profit to charities. So, it is still for a good cause.

I think it’s better to do it voluntarily and for the player to indicate the size on his own. Perhaps someone wants to do more, but someone on the contrary refuses and helps in another way or does not help at all.


Oh didn't see your message. Then I agree with you, this is very good idea and I will play with such conditions with a pleasure. I like to do good deeds and I think many as well.

Why not? I would play. A few dollars to give to help an orphanage and homeless, a token for being grateful that you are not one of them is enough reason to give. It should however be transparent indeed. Maybe a foundation that will also use blockchain for it will do.

I have no problem with this, I will definitely keep playing...
I feel that all gambling sites should start making rules like this, some of the losing and winning funds should be donated, this will increase the reputation of the gambling site to go up.

I know for sure if something like this did exist someone would likely to play and even if this is not the setup someone would still play in it because it's gambling. But of course, if it is a reasonable casino with a good games and I myself would always try it out if I saw one to try what is the experience inside of that casino. Think of it as a survey to see which is the best casino for me. ;D

I think this is more applicable to physical casinos, especially a way to attract tolerance from the government and a way to help charities as well. But in terms of online gambling casinos, mostly those that are anonymous doesn't have the urge to contribute to the society unless the owner does really have a pure heart to do so. On the other hand, regarding us whether we play or not, IMO, I will play knowing that I am not just focused on entertaining my self. If I lose, I know there is a charity that will benefit the same way when I win. I just lessen my worry about wasting money on simple explanations.

Nope mate because how can you take the percent from the chips you are holding?every deal if you lose meaning the banker will need to tally the amount you need to put in donation?this is for online casino i believe.
there is no need for them to bring their personal details because online sites will take your donations thru account name and not on your real identity.
that's what we have to do,either gambler or not can contribute by playing and also may have chance to win while helping.

I don't think such a Casino exit as of now and if it exists I don't buy the idea of making it compulsory for people to contribute their winning to a charity organization that they know nothing about and at the same time it is not within their own community. As for me, will not play in such casino site but I will only play if they are taking they said percentage from my losses.

I have not seen any site that will dare to do these kind of charity events as it will back fire big time and the site will find it hard to attract new visitors if you are having any stipulations. I have seen gambling sites giving away funds for charity which is also a kind of promotion from their profits they made and not forcing anyone to provide. My take is, never force things.
