Earlier this morning I was going to work in a bus I over heard, some one complaining very badly that if the government tries to put an end to gambling. That many people will die in hungry with this our economy which nothing is working, no work for people food are at higher amount in their and some people are benefiting from gambling this days, that mostly him his benefiting from gambling.

That with $200 he can stake and win about $100000 daily something that you won't even struggle to get, they can't even pay someone at work monthly up to that amount. So if their is no more online gambling that means definitely there won't be no more gambling at all. So how will you cope in your country if eventually they put an end to online gambling?

Have you ever heard of people that talk out of their asses? Because that's probably the kind of person that you've overheard is, there's no way that you can easily do that kind of thing with gambling and I'm pretty sure that whatever he's talking about, it's not the truth and there's no other way around it besides the matter of fact. Maybe he's right about the part where if gambling were to be dismantled that a lot would go hungry, I don't agree with the a lot part though, unless of course these casinos are building soup kitchens, sponsoring child education, and just generally giving back to community then definitely wouldn't disagree that a lot of people would starve but the only people that would be affected when this happens are the workers and the management, maybe some of the management might survive but I don't know but anything other than that, this person you're talking about is in over his head.

Dear op you have to know that the situation in one country with gambling cannot be generalized. Gambling is not a source of livelihood. The conversation you overheard in my estimation is from people who are ignorant about the world of work. It is only a lazy person that would say that if gambling is disbanded in a country people would die.

There are more people who are working than those who Gamble. There are more people who make money through other means than there are those who make money from gambling. The number of people who make money through gambling are so little than the ones who lose money through gambling. Assuming online gambling is banned in a country, there are still over a thousand and one way to make money. Besides anyone who has the mindset which is in your text is a gambling addict.

$100,000 is quite large amount of money risking and winning that much every day I think is impossible, and utilizing gambling as side place to bet and make money will also never be easy.
There are only very few gamblers who can actually use gambling to make money, and that only for those who are professionals and people who often take part in various gaming competitions.

Returning to the topic of discussion, I think that even if there is ban and elimination of gambling in any form in country, it will never be able to prevent gamblers from continuing to carry out gambling activities.
There are VPN and you can also change IP addresses to be able to access many external gambling sites and so the government also has much more difficulty in tracking down anyone who continues to access gambling sites.
There will be lots of methods that gamblers can use and as time goes by everything will run normally as if there are no problems whatsoever.

I am guessing you are from Nigeria? Because I read that people are giving too much money away via gambling and the amount is huge to the extent that the government became aware, but is gambling this easy? Do not believe everything you hear from people I am sure that this person  is talking through emotions, the country is very hard and there are no much jobs for the jobless even if you are a graduate with the right papers.

It is impossible to gamble with $200 and make 100k per day, this is a very wrong thought, gambling is not source of income, and it is true that some people are making money in gambling but no one ever asked them how much they gave lost before they finally win.

I know peoplepwolle in Nigeria that got so broke because of gambling and some lost everything that they ever have in their homes because once they did not have any more money they will start selling their properties in their home just so that they can gamble.

---

If the government block gambling you can always use VPN but I doubt that they will block it, if they can do it then it should only affect the local betting businesses, there will be no restrictions on foreign online gambling, so relax.

$100000 daily is wow. I'm going to sell all my coins just to learn his strategy.  But that doesn't explain why he is on the bus. You can already buy a comfortable Honda with such an amount, maybe even two but I'm guessing he is proud to ride a bus worth $20M right?  ;D

He is right about the economy though. No work and people are hungry. The government can do something about it, they have all the power to make things happen like the helicopter money. It's a slow process of making the inflation go down but the government has to really stop spending their tax prayers money outside the country.

As much as gambling is labelled as a fun activity, unfortunately I really don't like the road  society as taken to make gambling as a main source of income...and the worst excuse I always hear is no availablity of jobs which is just a scape goat if you ask me  especially that everyone wants to start from the top working some white collar job...and if this mentality doesn't change soon most crucial careers like doctors ,  Engineers, teachers, police , IT support ETC in the long term will die out as everyone will want it easy for some quick cash which is a time bomb if this isn't addressed soon because fact is gambling isn't easy.

I have watched this movie before... if people can't find resources or money needed to keep their daily lives going then this means that those into gambling will take the risk by whatever means to find a place to gamble and trust me there is always a way..VPNS are one solution if bookie allows it, going crypto is another and many others...

I'm still confused what the OP is saying doesn't make sense where when a country bans gambling in its country it will make its people miserable? Such nonsense.

Online gambling is not limited you can access anywhere even if the online gambling has offices in other countries, as long as you have internet you can play online gambling even if your country prohibits it.
So what do you say $200 becomes $100,000? Is it so easy for you to play gambling that you even say this is not difficult? Hey gambling is based on luck not skill.

People will not starve because of gambling because there are still other jobs, but people will be poor if they continue to force gambling.

It will definitely affect most people especially the under developed countries would like face it due to their economic situation just as Nigeria which many youths solely rely on gambling to make an ends meat  but after some while there will be adjustment and of course, before government could think of shut down gambling entirely there must be another alternative for the youth whom that are currently not employed or having no jobs because they themselves knows that almost about 76.9 percent of youths today depends on gambling to make life better.

If there decision is being drown finally there must be an alternative for them to replaced it to something that could keep them sustainability, but I know this won't be possible because I believe that gambling has been there for decades now wasn't able to be totally eliminated even from the origins, so I don't think any government would just woke up one morning to be wanting to eliminate gambling entirely.

It is real, not nonsense.

Some countries lack almost everything in terms of economy and jobs, and peiople are forced to learn how to gamble, I do know people whwho always hated gambling and now they are into gambling, they claimed that they have no choice, their jobs aren't just paying so well for their bills so they have to try their lucks.

Some people are even making up these excuses of no jobs to hurt other people, the rate of kidnapping and fraud have increased even more, so I don't see what OP said as a bad thing, if gambling is no more many people will struggle to survive for real.

It takes a brave heart to learn something new online that can fetch them money, not all these humans are good with online jobs and some even believe that it is impossible to make money online.

There are still many people who don't give a damn about gambling even while the country is very bad, for example me, I still lead my business on, so of gambling is banned it won't affect me, but some people who rely on gambling will starve, they won't die though, they will get used to it and find other ways.

Sounds not so good in my ear. If the government ends gambling, it does not make many people starve to starve but they turn off the income of a group of people and close government income from taxes.
If people find it difficult to get a job, how can they get money to gamble. It doesn't make sense in my opinion.

$200 that is at stake and able to win up to $100,000 every day is not there but not all gamblers get it. That is just luck.

Interest Ask. I don’t really understand what you mean when you say that a person can bet 200 dollars and get 100,000 dollars a day. Maybe this happened for someone, but I definitely can’t say that it will work out for everyone.
I can give you an interesting example. In my home country, which is also poor and the population has big problems with money, they did it as follows. Gambling is completely prohibited, but there are special places where people who have a lot of money can safely gamble. These can be tourist cities and playgrounds, etc. That is, gambling is simply no longer available on a crowded corner in any city. This is done so that ordinary people who have problems with gambling addiction do not spend their last money on games, so that they do not take their last dollars from their family, from their wife, from their child and do not take them to the casino. There have been many stories of people taking the last money from the family budget and then ending their lives because of it.
We decided it this way. Now people who have a lot of money can go to special places and play. Poor people can't do that.

First I think you meant #200 (Naira) and #100,000 (Naira) because someone complaining that way about no job may not be able to bet with $200 daily not to talk about winning $100,000 daily.


Talking about the situation with banning of gambling, you can only see people who feel that they will die without it in countries where there is high poverty rate and no employment because those countries only bet for profit nothing at all related to fun and they see gambling as source of income. This is evident in the speech that he has made by himself. Third world countries have most people gambling for the reason they don't have choice of financial sustainability.


There are countries whose masses don't depend on gambling for survival. So except you are depending on it then you will have issues if the government wake up to ban it.

Where are you? Vegas or Macau? If either then I'd believe that he's right.

But if he's a casual gambler, I don't believe with his words that he's going to make that much. Most of us are losing and having a bad day and with unbelievable amount of gain with a small bankroll.

That seems to be a sign that he's addicted.

Getting a win from gambling is not easy. However, there are still many people who tend to make money through gambling. This makes them lose money that could be used to meet their daily needs.

Even though the government has abolished online gambling, there will be offline gambling around your place. It is difficult to eliminate gambling because people already use gambling to make money. But even though they lose a lot of money from gambling, that doesn't stop them from still trying it.

The government can only limit people who frequently gamble. Maybe explain to them that gambling is not a place to make money. And it also depends on each person. If they realize this, they will slowly reduce their gambling activities.

Reading the OP’s post brought a thread I read recently back to my mind which said “what’s the main reason for gambling?” And it seems like a lot of people still don’t know it yet.

Op you mentioned turning $200 into $10,000 through gambling are you also aware that a million dollars could also be lost through gambling and that it’s possible to gamble for a month and not come out with any profits? It’s called gambling for a reason and anyone who goes there with just the intent of turning their Pennies into gold will end with nothing or turn to a chronic addict and that’s just the simple truth.

If you’re looking for a means to earn good cash then learning a skill will be the best place to turn to, not gambling.

That someone is so ignorant. Of course, the government can survive without gambling, but taxes coming from gambling can help the government coffer to sustain its economy; there are countries where gambling is restricted or banned, and there are two or three countries that rely on gambling but they use gambling to attract tourists.

My country will be fine without taxes coming from gambling; the taxes coming from gambling that my country is collecting are not even 5% of my country's revenue.
The economy of the country should not rely on one industry. Every country's wealth is its people and natural resources, so a country that relies on one single source of industry its economy is doomed to crash, Macau and Vegas do not only rely on gambling alone they have tourists and other industries that generate income for the economy, so it's an overstatement to say that if gambling operation is ceased the economy will crash.
Every country has economic managers and planners, so they know that relying on one industry, like gambling, is bad for the economy.

I think that if the economy is that bad in a country the government should take measures to stop gambling at least,this way the money that people throw into gambling would be going to food and grocery which can be good for people that go in ruin and don't win anything in gambling.I know that someone,some very few persons can hit it that big of an amount enough to be a life changing event but the number of persons losing a lot of money is much higher and it is of no benefit for the general population and as such overall that can be a good option to restrict gambling so people can have their suffering somewhat alleviated.

I can't imagine a country going bankrupt and its people going hungry because of putting an end to gambling the administrator of that country is not that good for its people to rely on gambling I have never heard so far of a majority of people in one's country goes hungry because they only rely on gambling and if a country relies on gambling taxes revenues and work for the people why would they stopped it.


We are still going to be ok and will be fine, and many purists will even thank the government because our government has a lot of resources to sustain its economy.

reading OP's post whether this is a fairy tale or a true story. If it's real,  get 100,000$ per day. I doubt that person. Of course, the gambling website owner will monitor the account, so can get big wins every day. and it's certainly not easy with capital of 200$ to become 100,000$ unless the website is hit by a bug. because yesterday my friend got information about a crypto casino bug on the forum just because a small coin swap turned into thousands $$

If it was that easy to turn $200 to $100k with the help of gambling then I would be doing it 24/7, that seems possible when you're living in a fantasy world but in real life nothing like that happens OP. Most of the casinos have already got bankrupt if someone could turn $200 to $100k daily on their casinos.

I have always said this and I will say it once again that gambling is good way to have some fun and earn something if you're lucky but it's not a way to make money or earn an income unless you're referring others and earn money from a referral program.

This thread sounds like a fictional story to me because it's not going to happen in real life, and in gambling not possible at all. So OP you must have to understand that someone who earns $100k per day would never tell anyone about it.

So the government relies on gambling to advance the economy and its citizens rely on gambling to receive many benefits? I don't believe the government relies on gambling in fact there are other things that make the government more advanced in its economy maybe the government just tax the gamblers.

I don't believe this will be the fatal outcome of the government ending gambling in the country.

You know how to go from $200 to $100,000? I will learn the strategy from you if you know. LOL
Hey gambling is not something easy you say, if it was easier then all gamblers would be rich, is there any special strategy? I don't think there is in gambling.

If a country is having a struggling economy, the government should be doing enough to support it and create new sectors, rather than destroy the ones they deem "unsafe". Yes indeed gambling may indeed have some harmful effects in part of the population but a government should prioritize to crush corruption, create infrastructure, lasting jobs, a viable public services sector etc. Countries like Indonesia for instance have introduced very draconian measures against gambling but people still want to do it.

Instead, what are governments doing to combat their ailing public sectors, unemployment, crumbling infrastructure etc? To be perfectly honest I care more if my country has functioning hospitals, food guaranteed for everyone to eat, free universities etc. rather than forbidding gambling. So long as my country is not prioritizing these, I'd be very against my government focusing its resources in fighting online gambling.

That's impossible, gambling online operation in my country earns a lot from biggest business owners who's running 24/7. They're paying huge taxes because both physical and virtual gambling activities earned huge amount of profit. Though most people patronizes online gambling platform and they lost a lot of money, they still find fun and lucky wins from this.

First of all, you said online gambling, and not gambling in general, if the government put an end to online gambling, gamblers will make a switch and start patronizing physical gambling and betting outlets, offline casinos, this is what is going to happen and I believe it is very easy to understand.

Secondly, I would also say that its actually very important for us to stop imagining things that are not possible to happen, it is impossible for the government to ban online gambling for no just cause or reason, one reason why the Nigerian government are banning cryptocurrency trading in the country is because, they assume their naira is being manipulated by traders, gambling has no such accusation against it, so I see no reason why it should ever be banned.

Sounds like an obvious made up story since no one will ever discuss this kind of conversation regarding gambling in a bus as if it’s a necessity for everyone. I believe this is only applicable on states like Vegas which casino is main source of income of most worker in there.


Again gambling is not a necessity. I think anyone can easily cope up on gambling unless you are already an addicted gambler. You can always socialize with your friends as substitute for gambling entertainment.

What now? That scenario is so far away from the reality that it's even a question as to why it is connected to how will we cope when online gambling gets banned. Anw ignoring the initial story, I wouldn't particularly do much about it. I don't really see gambling as a must do activity, it's there and I enjoy it and it's available so I play it, if it's not then that's that. I might try to access it via VPN sometime but that's probably the limit of whatever I'll do to try and continue gambling. Anything above that like moving to a new country would probably be outside of what I'd ever think about in the first place.

Gamblers are not the ones that are benefitting from gambling because people that are gambling are losing to gambling. People that are benefitting from gambling are the gambling platform owners and their workers. I will agree that this can lead to unemployment.

$200 to win $1000000 daily? This statement is very wrong.

Gambling is just one of many source of entertainment. You can go traveling, drink on the bar, and activities that you can enjoy in exchange for your money. The existence of online casino makes gambling accessible to anyone in any part of the world as long as you have an internet connection.

There’s a lot of casino that offers decentralized games which doesn’t need you to provide KYC so even if your government ban gambling you can still play online using the decentralized casino.

This is the perks of living on digital world which everything is accessible already.

These are statements that carry no weight. The gambling sector worldwide may be worth half a trillion, but other industries out there are much more important and could destabilize a lot of economies. That person who stated this could just be carried away by his emotions hence why they were able to utter these words which are obvious exaggeration.

Given how big the gambling industry has become, it will take a huge force in order to stop it and prevent its operations. Lots of stakeholders, investors, and deep pockets are already involved, and the government only follows where the money is so there's a very slim chance that these bans will really happen.

I find it difficult to understand what you are saying due to grammatical errors but I assume you are saying that you overheard a person saying: if online gambling ceases to exist, then this will cause financial and economic ruin?

First, I doubt that this will happen due to the benefits that online gambling brings to the government. It provides an additional revenue stream on the part of the government due to the taxes being paid.

Second, even if they remove online gambling, there are still other ways in order for the government to generate income. Sure, it may hurt the economy but there will be ways in order to compensate for it.

Lastly, if online gambling is removed, then people would go back and switch to the traditional physical casinos though expect a significant drop in numbers.


Again like what I have mentioned above, there will be other ways in order to generate revenue on the part of the government.

On the side of its users, people would switch to physical casinos. But if you remove gambling completely, then I guess people would find ways to exhaust this kind of addiction into other ways.

And do you think people in this forum believe most people in your country are making $99,800 per day from gambling? :D

Let's say they're making such huge amount of money everyday, why they can't fly to the country where gambling is legal? Macao, Hong Kong, Morocco etc gambling is legal in these countries.

It's not make sense for a rich person can't afford to buy flight ticket.

This is possible on some country that has strict adherence on the welfare of the community. I think 3rd world country where the corrupt government is the only country that might not ban gambling but on other country with strong economy that doesn’t rely on gambling make this story technically possible like Monaco.

But the story is obviously just from the imagination of the OP since he keeps creating this kind of useless topic for gambling post purposes.

Government ending online gambling?
In my opinion it is much better, your government has provided education to the public that gambling is not good, it is impossible if the government ends gambling it will end people's lives. It is true that all countries have minimal job opportunities and the population is increasing, but people who do not have permanent jobs but they still live today, for example by looking for work that they can do on the internet, or for the lower middle class they work like scavenging or begging. You have capital of $200 and a gadget, with the capital you have you can open a small business and you can use gadgets or develop ideas to make money such as Affiliate Marketing. This job does not require capital, just your internet quota and gadget.

I think what you say is too much, it's not easy to win in gambling up to $100,000 in a day, the bookie won't give you a big win like you said, the bookie can't lose they all set up the system.

first from the person discussion you should already know that he is a gambling addict because gambling with such mindset will even end him in more worst situation and conditions, how can someone camplaining about hunger put up 200$ on staking a bet and even calculating the potential return when he can even lose on the first bet.


Although gambling have played a role which is providing entertainment but in terms of making someone rich, I don't think that happens on regular basis since not all gambler's are lucky to hit the jackpot.

Monaco only ban their locals from gambling and working at the casino there, but the locals are free to gamble online.
Monaco is also a tax haven for gamblers, there is no tax for all winnings in the land based casino and online casino.
With facts like these, I dont think Monaco is strict in its gambling rules.

LoL making $100000 daily, isn't it just a joke?
Or Even if it is true I want to get a lesson from how can it make I don't need the six-digit I can handle with the 4/5 digit amount of profit making  :P.
Now let's come into the main point, those peoples who depend on gambling to live their life I think they will definitely face difficulty in life even if government don't put an end to gambling. And there will never be possible to make passive income $100000 was a lie nothing else.
In my country, there is already a government banned the casinos so there lots of people are still living there hood with out gambling but even those who depended on gambling for living those are in problem to live a normal healthy life.

That is impossible to win $100000 daily from only 200$. Have those peoples get it only that from gambling people get always profits?
Gambling is a source of earning it is a source of entertainment and it always have the risk in every wager to lose win and lose huge. And because I am not depending on gambling for living that's why I will not have any effect if here the government put an end to it.

And what will we do if... Well, when something happens, we will think about it then, certainly the world will not stop spinning because some countries have banned gambling. I guess some people will find a way to gamble, some will only do it while traveling, and some will surely turn to other things in life. That's usually how it is, you shouldn't despair when you lose something, raise your head, and move forward.

But this will not happen, we can expect online gambling to be more regulated, but to ban it is difficult, it seems to me that too many people gamble and it brings a lot of money to casino owners and the state through various taxes. So gambling stays where it is, it can only grow.

Then they should move to other countries wherein it is not prohibited. Confusing and alarming why some people are have the money to gamble but would die on such activity's restrictions. I am not against people who are betting that much and making gambling their main source of income however, restriction is something expected right? Restriction happens for a reason as well and that might be because many people are having their lives destroyed due to gambling addiction and their own irresponsibilities.Indeed exaggeration. Winning will never be certain in gambling so does making 1000x of your capital on a daily basis. That guy might just be creating drama to protect his urge to gamble endlessly.

Nothing's wrong if you really enjoy gambling but if you're too hooked up into this activity, baad outcomes are most likely to happen.

The gamblers in your country are they paid for gambling as a form of employment or empowerment? It is only when a people's source of income (jobs) are put to an end that it could lead to most of them dieing out of overthinking and other health complications out of a loss of hope but this doesn't make sense with gambling cause gambling is not a means livelihood. So it's either that young man you overheard complaining is a jobless gambling addict or he is just out of him mind.

  Truth is that some people that gamble do assume that they make much profit from gambling than they are losing to it but it's just a fallacy and I have always disputed it. Gamblers incur a lot of loss before hitting a win and most times before they get another win they could have experienced losses double the amount the last won.  Yea, maybe some person do make a profit (mainly the very minute few that hits a jackpot) but this number of persons are just about a 3% of the total number of gamblers found in a society. The profit is always with the house due to its hedge.
 

How do people benefit from gambling when winning regularly is not something that you can be assured of? It is not something that can actually happen but if it happens then many gamblers will be surprised that the amount of money that they will be able to save, the amount of money that they usually use in gambling daily and weekly. The money they will be able to keep from not gambling will be enough to provide daily meals for some individuals and even their family members.

I think that they are a handful of people who benefits from gambling even when they are not winning a regularly. These group of people are the influencers who partner with sports betting companies or casinos to promote their gambling website.

These influencers could be celebrated they could also be streamers on YouTube and other social media streaming platform. We also have those who sell their gambling courses online as well. When people buy their books they get a lot of money from royalties.

That is a good amount of money and that is quite big enough but in reality we are all know that only few gamblers reach that amount in gambling cause we all know that gambling is based on luck not on purely strategy even though we have s strategy's but still luck is the main reason of hitting that kind of amount. And also we are all know that gambling can not make us Rich easier cause in reality loss a lot than our winning .

There are many online gambling sites nowadays so even though that countries that they banned gambling still the residences or the people can access the gambling sites as long as they have a good internet connection.

I prefer to answer this question because the first part of the discussion has nothing to do with the condition in our country; if they put a stop to online gambling, there will be no impact at all because there are still offline betting shops, and we have government-run casinos.

Majority of the gamblers here in our country prefer to bet on physical casinos than on an online platform most of the bettors are not fans of online games, they prefer the ambience of physical settings, especially the elders.

Gambling should not be viewed as a viable career path.  The lure of winning big may seem enticing, but for most people it is more likely to lead to financial hardship than success.  The government's regulations around online gambling are aimed at protecting vulnerable individuals who may be tempted to chase unlikely wins as an escape from their daily struggles. (There is a reason that gambling is more widespread in poor societies.)

There are more reliable ways to improve one's financial situation, even if they require sacrifice and hard work.  Building skills, getting additional education and seeking out honest employment can provide a steady income and sense of dignity.  It may not be as exciting as a jackpot win in the short term, but will likely lead to greater security and satisfaction over time.

If online gambling faces further restrictions, those who have come to depend on it will need to make difficult adjustments to their lifestyle and expectations.  But with commitment to more sustainable goals, rather than fantasies a productive path forward is possible.  There are always alternatives for those willing to put in the effort.

you know their are set of people who feed their families with gambling? This same person is not doubting that his not among of the people who feed their families with gambling, he said without gambling his family won't eat that means he's addicted to it. Maybe his not lazy he might be working but his salary can't help out with his responsibility that he have at hand. So I don't blame him crying out, i know it's very difficult for casino gambling to end it something someone should even dream of at the moment. Thanks for your response.

Governments prefer easy targets. "Look, we're doing something!" But gambling ban? The country's biggest difficulties won't be solved by that. What about hospitals? Schools? Roads? These things construct a nation and improve lives for all. The cancer that erodes those foundations is corruption. You get what? A non-working system

Not letting people risk themselves to death. It's organizing. A government must prioritize what matters to make an impact. Education, healthcare, infrastructure. This makes a country strong and gives citizens the means to achieve. Regulate and secure gambling, but don't allow it detract from the overall picture. After meeting basic needs, you can focus on details. Until then, you're lipsticking a pig. Man, priorities matter. Governments need to get their priorities right

For me I think the effect would only lessen the gambler, I think those are just crazy talks from ignorant people, if they really are gambler with such skills why would they still be riding instead of riding their own car if it is so easy for them to earn that amount daily?
And people dying from hunger because they couldn't gamble? who in their right mind would gamble when they couldn't even afford to provide food on their table?
It is true that there are people who benefits from online gambling but for me most of those who benefits are those who works on online gambling industry not the gamblers.

They meaning my local government? I don't really care what they do but there's going to be a lot of underground places popping up if that happens. How are they going to block online casinos that use cryptocurrencies? How are they going to stop me from using VPN or simply leaving the country for a while. It's maybe 2 hours of driving and I'm in another country...
I can also stoip gambling. I'm not addicted and this would actually be fine in the long run as I usually don't win big but also don't lose a lot of money, so I'd have more time to do other things.

Gambling (in the first place) was never meant to taken as a source of income, so why should putting an end to it be a problem to anyone except if it's about those who are addicted to gambling and how they can manage to cope or adjust when they can't be able to gamble no more.
If it's about making money and livelihood, I would say that is and was never meant to be taken as a source of income, so, who ever is depending on gambling a means of livelihood is supposed to go out there and get a job for him or herself and only gamble as a hobby, this way, you are never afraid of will happen if gambling is put to an end.

And on the other hand, @op, you only talked about online gambling. If online gambling is completely banned, offline gambling will still exist and I believe online gamblers will easily switch to gambling physically.
But again, all this are vain imagination, as long as the internet continue to exist, gambling, both online and offline will continue to exist.

Gambling is just spoiling life so if there is no online gambling then most of the individuals will sustain a better life and will be involved in a better job. Only gamblers think that if there is no gambling then their way of earning will be stopped and they will die due to hunger but this is just a thought.

I assume that without gambling people will start to live a healthy life which they cannot maintain due to gambling because the loss is higher and winning is minimum so I think it will be a good step if people start to be a part of regular jobs instead of gambling.

Maybe you are from a third-world nation where there is a high rate of unemployment which has made people see gambling as a major source of income. I have also heard people say that it was gambling that is sustaining many people in my country. Except there is research that backs this claim, I don't think it is correct. More people are losing than those who are winning. Gambling companies are racking in big profits while gamblers are just winning a small percentage of the profit.

Before even thinking of winning you need to earn money to gamble. If you don't have a job, you might end up engaging in crime to gamble. Anybody who sees gambling as a full-time job will suffer from lack and want because wins from betting are unstable and unpredictable. If the government stops online betting, one would have to switch to physical gambling. Although it will be difficult to switch we would still have to gamble.

I don't intend to judge or make assumptions about the OP personally, yeah maybe it's because of her ignorance.  It's true, legal gambling in a country is enough to provide big taxes for the country, but it's not like the opinion you heard in the conversation you conveyed in this thread. you can refer to several countries that prohibit gambling, and those countries are not like the ones we are discussing in this thread.

Second point, with a bankroll of $200 one can double it even more than what you say. yeah, it all depends on the gamble and luck. but it is important for you to know, not everyone is as lucky as to win every day. if someone claims so, he is most likely a liar. whatever the gambling, it is not that easy to double it as easily as you say. just imagine, what about the casino. If there are several hundred people in a country in one casino who win every day like you said, don't you think that the casino will have problems. in fact, it ends up going bankrupt without the government having to end it. The point is, this discussion is not relevant to me personally.

It seems unlikely that what they want to do will happen because the rest of the casinos or gambling sites are scattered, just like you said, no matter what plan they plan to do, there are many ways for the person to return to gambling, such as using a VPN , that will be the main thing that will happen because not everyone can afford to leave the country just to gamble. Just continue your momentum in gambling without becoming addicted to it because you will enjoy playing without feeling pressure because you are not like others whose goal is to win or recover all the money they lost.

But, the OP is talking about gambling as a source of income, that there are people who rely on it to live. Not just the player but there are also those who work in a casino. I agree on the guy who said that many will suffer once gambling is ended by their government.

I just hope that the government will also look at it or on the consequences that their actions can bring. Maybe instead of banning it, they will only released a program instead, to help those who are badly suffering with it? I think decentralized casinos wouldn't be possible if without the help of cryptos but there will still be centralized illegal gambling. I won't advice to take a risk and continue accessing them though because our situations can only get worse once we get caught or scammed.

A country banning gambling is not even the problem. What if the country goes ahead to write to the casino that they should not service their region anymore, in this case even a VPN will be useless. A similar scenario is if the casino on their own decides not to render their services to that region again, also, a VPN will still be useless even with a good connection.

Gambling is only spoiling the life of only those people who gamble irresponsibly. It is the same thing with those who drink irresponsibly too. It has always been said that we should gamble responsibly and stick to the rules that have been set aside for it.
Only gambling addict that this is addressed to. A human who has been able to find a balance between gambling, their Worklife, family life. and other areas of their life will not even talk about healthy living because they are already doing it.

What does he mean by saying that many people will die of hunger? Does it mean that a lot of people in your country are surviving by gambling? In a country where the economic system is bad, gambling is not the solution to such a problem because it will even cause the gambler to lose the money they have.

Although every gambler has their own experiences and stories regarding their gambling lifestyle but I don't totally agree that the man was telling the truth that he actually stakes $200 and wins $100k daily. It is difficult to believe such lies. If he actually wins such an amount daily, then he would have opened his own casino or probably not be bothered if the government wants to ban gambling because he is supposed to have had enough savings.

how on earth did you have to agree with them that gambling is a way to curb the drastic state of the country's economy? Do you really think them casinos are out there to fund your pockets and leave theirs? Is gambling more like a self-enrichment project to you? Y'all need to be careful how you interpret things sometimes.
How TF does he do that? You won't be coming up with your fictional stories in here yunno ... How does he go about such a consistency? Work hard!!!
you can access any casino with the TOR onion browser or any strong VPN

It is my first time hearing that if the government puts an end to online gambling, people will suffer in some countries. I fully go against that, that people will suffer. the truth that many people thing about that doesn't know is that people lose money in gambling than what they are gaining and what is there again is that the percentage of people losing in gambling is far greater than people winning.
 
In fact, gambling is what is causing a lot of youth to be lazy nowadays. Many youth have the opportunity to learn some alternative work and hustle hard, but due to the hope they have from the gaming side that they will win, the small amount of money they have will just waste it there.
 
And this one that you are talking about, using $200 to win $100,000, is not that easy; it is very hard to win such a thing. If it is like that, winning in gambling is possible, and many gamblers will be rich.

If the government can put an end to online gambling, then we have to go back to offline gambling. I don’t know why the government has to ban gambling, it doesn’t make any sense to me. I know gambling shouldn’t be taken as a source of income, but some people are gambling and they are surviving with the money they are winning from gambling, like in my country, most youth are now gambling just to make money for survival, if you stop gambling, how do you expect people like that to survive, and the government is not creating more jobs for the youth that are unemployed.

I don’t have any problem if the government ban gambling in my country, am not the type that gamble for the sake of money, I just gamble for fun, so if they can ban gambling, I will just have to look for something else to always make me happy.

their is something I really want you to understand about the government, they don't care about the well-being of their citizens if they notice that 100% people are benefiting from gambling they don't care or mind to ban gambling. They have the power but not knowing that if they do that they're making things worse for the citizens. That's the main reason why this guy was complaining bitterly cause he knows what the government are capable of doing, and if the government knows how much that goes into casino betting a day they'll have the interest to link with him or either they ban it from the country.

That's the kind of guy who puts his mouth where his ass is. No way in hell does he see gambling as a viable way to supplant his lack in income lol.

In all seriousness though props to your government for imposing such bans, I am an avid gambler personally but I swear against it, especially when I see everyone who gets their dirty paws in it eventually fall into gambling addiction and even more serious problems down the line. In my opinion it's much better to have it banned for good by the government that I am in than see someone else ruin their lives all because of gambling, and besides, I have my ways if I really want to gamble so it's not like I'm going to be hampered by some ban.

I have a good feeling that a lot of the people in your country thinks the same way as this guy, the fact alone that they think immediately of easy money when gambling is brought to discussion concerns me a lot in itself, makes me think that a lot more people than what the government cares to admit thinks this way and that they are really down bad when it comes to gambling.

OP this story of yours sounds fictional,  how can someone that has no job or money to eat get money to pay for gambling. I was wondering the countryman that that could do such but however, there are some people who can but I think this story of yours sounds too funny.
I could imagine your story of using $200 to win $100000 how possible could that be in d country you claimed that there is no job employment, then how do you expect someone who has not eaten to comfortablely use such an amount of money to gamble knowing fully well that gambling is a thing of luck and as such, it is very risky.

It seems to me that people who think this way are heading down a very dangerous path, gambling does not replace a fixed income, it does not replace employment, it does not generate stable profits in a way that allows people to pay bills every month without having problems, When these people say that they will die of hunger if the government bans gambling, I realize that these people are still unaware of the danger of looking at gambling as a source of income, that is not how they should solve the problem lack of food, I highly doubt that these people are winning every day at gambling


I highly doubt this is possible. They must be lying so that government decisions are seen as bad, it is not possible for gambling to generate these profits every day


The salaries that governments pay depend on the economy of each country, but even if the government of that country paid $200 in salary per month, it would still be much better to have that salary every month than not to have that salary and be dependent on gambling. unlucky. Gambling should be seen as entertainment and not as a source of income


I would simply respect the decision of my country's government

First online gambling is as a result of the internet's existence. Hence can't get all terminated. And even if the person thinks one could win such an amount in gambling which is not a lie, he still sounds naive and novice of how gambling actually works. The trouble with his perspective is as a result of gambling outcome not being consistent as some people may think. If online gambling gets terminated people will be free from compulsive gambling I guess. Or everyone heads back to the offline casino in huge numbers. People just have a low expectations from gamblers that's why they think gamblers get money through gambling and prefer doing it as a side hustle. It's a game and not a form earning more money.

I guess what you mean here is N200 to win N100,000, which I have seen many people archive even more, but they can't boast of making that happen on a regular basis because they don't control the game. If it's that simple, then the casino and gambling industries would have shut down by now.
 
But it's very unfortunate that those guys can be picturing gambling as a means of survival when the outcome is not always guaranteed. They have time and a chance to get a real job that can sustain them rather than depending on gambling. 

They are lucky if they are seeing that gambling can give them their daily source of income. Not many gamblers are that fortunate to always have winnings. For that person who is seeing as gambling as the main reason of survival, he really should assess his situation if he is indeed always winning in this game or already on the losing end. Definitely, there are other options to survive outside of gambling. Find a decent job or other odd jobs to sustain your day to day needs. You will find out that  you can survive outside of gambling, if you will just explore your skills and expertise.

You must be very gullible if you believe that someone can bet $200 to win $100k. And this person says he wins $100k daily? I don’t care how lucky you are, no one can win that big repeatedly. Your new friend makes so much money yet he rides the public bus lol. Isn’t he supposed to be super rich, driving around in his Lambo. Either he’s drunk, a compulsive liar or a scammer looking for victims who will want to pay for fixed bets. OP keep to yourself when in public places, scammers are always looking for victims to exploit.

Is it that easy to make money from gambling? Where in just one day, with as little capital as possible, someone can double their money just by gambling, and get profits of up to hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is complete nonsense. because in fact in gambling we spend more money than we get. And another fact, many people fall into irresponsible gambling activities and result in many losses that can make them miserable every day.

So how is it possible, when the government issues a policy prohibiting gambling, it can actually cause many people to die of hunger and live in misery. Doesn't this happen the other way around?

even though the state issued a policy prohibiting gambling. In my opinion, this is not the only reason someone stops gambling activities. Someone will continue to gamble even though the country has banned it, and this will only have a bad impact on a country and will cause quite large losses. Because this can allow the illegal gambling industry to continue to grow rapidly and become rampant in the country.

The fact that he sees gambling as the fastest means of making money without struggling about it is the problem. What happens if gambling is entirely put to an end? I'm sure he will be starting his life all over again. $100,000 is quite a lot to earn daily (that is if this information is true anyway). Yea, some persons can really be very skilled in gambling, thereby increasing their chances of winning, but a gambler who is visionary will understand that gambling is all about luck and will create an alternative source of income from the money he makes from gambling. This will help him not to over rely on gambling and also help find a balance in his life if something eventually happens to gambling. No one should be advised to concentrate on gambling alone, even if they are always lucky with it.

Perhaps, that guy is filthy rich but he does not know how to drive.  :P
But seriousky though, I believe those things that stranger said are pretty much non-sense. Anyone with a basic grasp on what gambling is truly a about would know that casinos and betting houses are not placed to make money, those are businesses and in order for any business to function the net money going back to the general public/gamblers is supposed to be negative, otherwise the casino would be giving money away (not a sustainable thing to do as business).

In the worst case scenario that guy was a random scammer a waiting for someone gullible enough to ask him about those techniques to get money from gambling consistently and then hook them up in some scheme from there. There are as many scammers who do their shady business face to face as there are those who try to hide their identity behind a screen. One is never supposed to allow ones greed to even consider those fantastical claims to be true..

Exactly, the only thing I think will be affected if gambling is put to an end is those who work in gambling. Of course, many people is put to an end is those who work in gambling. Of course, many people will lose their jobs, but the concept that many people will not have a chance to gain a lot of profit because of gambling is a big no. Okay, OP, give an example, article, or any kind of proof that gambling can generate a huge amount of money for a gambler in an instant, because I'm sure more gamblers are losing a huge amount just because they are thinking that they could hit a big jackpot and turn their lives upside down.
 
That's why its hilarious that OP think gambling in that way, maybe he is also delusional and wanting to earn big in gambling, little advise OP if you continue that then just maybe your life will not be in a good path.

And you know where that money comes from?
From other families that go hungry!

You are mistaken gambling with some sort of employment or business where there is value produced out of something when gambling is just a redistribution of money, there is nothing of value produced there so that everyone can get money out of it, there are 100 people betting 1$ on black and red, half of them will $1.9, half will lose a dollar and the house will get $5.
You know how this looks? 100 people had $100, now 100 people have $95, this is how gambling works, and it's pretty damn hard to always be in the ones that make money, certainly not something to be your source of food.
 

Gambling is multi-billion business and the same provides big revenue to the government in different ways. This is the reason why governments used to take a neutral stand without opposing and not supporting gambling. Nowadays everywhere it is possible to see the promotion of gambling platforms. People have got used to it, if there exists a situation in which gambling is stopped. We can see the start of more gambling houses functioning illegally. This used to be more dangerous than having a regulated platform.

Don't worry too much about the story you mentioned, as long as it is legal in that territory, players will feel quite normal when the government issues a stop order for any activity related to service.

Although I don't care too much about how to play gambling, through a number of different channels, people share about the evils that occur behind gambling behavior such as loopholes in management causing many bad guys to abuse it and increase crime. So in that situation, I will support preventing gambling, but it is also necessary to recognize the problem from the players because they are the source of all problems, not necessarily through the means, so we also need to raise people's awareness of its use.

It does not seem plausible that somebody is earning $100k daily from just $200. If that were true, this person would not have to worry about gambling being banned because they will have earned enough money to retire comfortably.

Even if regulation becomes very strict, there is almost always some casinos willing to accept players from those regions. You might not be able to cash out in fiat but you can still enjoy your hobby by playing with crypto only.

Banning something doesn't mean that it will stop existing. Illegal drugs like cocaine and heroin are banned for decades, but drug addicts are still a thing. Illegal gambling has been existing for decades(in the countries where gambling is banned).
Banning online gambling seems like the dumbest idea ever. How can you stop a gambler from using a VPN/proxy and accessing a foreign online casino(in a jurisdiction where online gambling is legal)? The government simply can't stop gamblers from changing their IP addresses.
The idea that gambling gives the people hope to get some easy money is true, but at the same time, I think that it's kinda dumb.
Just don't expect to make consistent money by playing gambling games(and don't expect to become a millionaire). It will most likely never happen.

Is this for real? Well, it's true. You can turn that $200 into even more, but that's kind of hard. One needs insane luck to do that. Even if they ban it, there are tons of online casinos nowadays, and crypto casinos. How are they going to do it? It's easy to bypass those using a VPN. Are they going to ban all VPNs as well? LOL. All of their funds will run out before they can completely cut off online gambling.

OP those people don't know anything about gambling, gambling is not a profession or a job opportunity where you earn from it steadily so I don't understand the aspects that those people are being very positive about gambling. There are people that win gambling but they don't win regularly so gambling is not a reliable source of income as to say that if the government shut it down people will begin to suffer or feel the impact. Gambling is just for fun and to be played at leisure and with a spared funds so anyone who takes gambling as a hobby or means of earning a livelihood may end up going broke some day.

That is just it, gambling is too broad for the government to be stopped and just like you said they generates revenue for the government and for a very long time government have been neutral on anything concerning gambling i remembered a time when parents in a particular state of my country protested about gambling to be shutdown because their children were getting too involved in gambling and steals their money to play gamble but the government didn't listen to them at all. Gambling is a game of choice, no body forces anyone to play so if you can't control your emotions in gambling the best is to quit.
You are right about gambling going illegal if stopped because a lot of people have really possessed the habit of gambling so if it is being stopped people can still gamble secretly or they fall back to physical gambling ( person to person gambling ) without the government knowing about it. In the past when gambling have not yet gone this vast people do gamble secretly before it became open to the extent that it is being publicized and advertised every where both physically and on social media. There is no way you will access the Internet without coming across some sites or individuals offering gambling predictions. So that is the extent gambling have gone it has become a normal way of life of so many people.

Well OP the whole compliant seems lame to me cause I don't seem to understand how gambling has contributed to the government not giving jobs or any country economic instability or incompetence, IMO gambling in its own way has help some persons to make money cause I know a guy or two that has a side hustle in gambling, they woudl never miss a weekend game for anything, they could spend hours indoors to book a game and most times it works fine for them, so when peopel talk like this I find it sentimental and out of point, gambling can't be the problem of the society, only the government.

When the government decides to ban gambling because they see the bad impacts, not because they want to close down people's livelihoods. The people who benefit from gambling are the casino owners and also the employees of the casino, but players only benefit when they win.

$200 to $100k/ is certainly something that can happen in gambling but daily that's impossible and believe me if it was easy to get then there would be more rich people in your country and compared to poor ones, then why are there so many poor? because making money is not an easy thing, especially in gambling, I see people who benefit from gambling because they win big prizes and so on, but they also say that the capital used is also big, so it is impossible to make gambling a way to make ends meet.

Actually there's only few people are benefiting from their gambling activities and those people are earning thru affiliate marketing or they became an agent of those casino so for sure if this will be totally shut down by government that what you have been said will really happen. But for sure they could able to find another job that can compensate their daily needs since gambling earnings thru that activities is temporary. Government gives much bigger weight on those innocent people got affected by gambling and how those promotors do some abusive marketing just to deceive people. If they don't want to reach unto that point where government disallow them to do that action then they should do more better marketing which also have proper gambling education since maybe for that government could find something relevance since they see those people especially influencer promotes responsible gambling.

Wrong, they can't put an end to online gambling they can only restrict the citizens from casinos that are built in the country but online is online, casino owners are wide spread around the world, so people will still gamble if they want.

You can easily avoid the restriction using a VPN connection, but make sure that the online casino supports VPN connection, you should find a way to get in touch with the team and also make sure if the answer is YES you should take screenshots of this answer just in case, because there might come a time where you will need the proof.

As for the 100 dollars to 100k it is impossible to get this in gambling everyday, maybe this was what interest you just because you heard it from someone, well,, unfortunately that person sugar coat gambling, you will lose more before you win, this is for most people that I have seen, it is wiser to use small money on gambling because losing is certain than winning.

Not everyone is very dependent on gambling, he has been lucky a few times and have made him think gambling can be a source of income meanwhile there are so.e out there who had gambled with their last money and lost it so he's perception isn't a really good one to consider because gambling isn't something that should be really encouraged as you can't be lucky all the times except for a few times but most persons fail to understand that and think they can be lucky everyday and put almost all they have got in to gambling a d loose.

I'd gambling is banned it will help some persons especially the addicted and will aswell help those who were almost becoming addicted aswell but then it will aswell have it's own disadvantage which includes rendering some jobless and causing some not to be able to get their fun at their leisure.

Gambling industry contributed to the government, at least gambling industry can gives taxes to the governments. That taxes can helps the governments to improve the developments in their country and gives solution to many things that happens in their country. Gambling can offers jobs to unemployment to works in their casino and with some training, their employee can works well serving their members. But that's happen in the country allows gambling because in the country that prohibits gambling, they will not lets people playing gambling.

If the governments wants to end the gambling industry, they will needs to understand that they can't gets more incomes from the gambling industry. Though gambling industry can gives much money as taxes, the governments must do that, especially if many people asks them to ends gambling industry. Maybe gambling gives many bad effects to their people so society asks their government to ends gambling.

I completely agree with what you say, if a country really stops online gambling, there are still a thousand ways to make money. In fact, as far as I know, people who consider gambling as an opportunity to make money are those who are lazy at work because they only rely on luck and hope to win. amount of money from gambling, I also didn't expect anyone to say that if gambling stops, people will starve to death, even though in fact more and more online gambling users are starving to death because they lost everything and risked their money to gamble, in the sense that many people are going bankrupt as a result hambling.

In my opinion, if the state stops online gambling, it will be very good for the younger generation, they will not be affected by gambling which will damage them in the future, but on the other hand, state income will decrease because maybe online gambling is what gives a big tax to the state, as far as I know, this gambling tax It's quite big if a country legalizes gambling and it increases state income, but it also harms the people if many people become addicted to gambling.

Stopping online gambling may reduce gambling activity but it cannot stop people from gambling. Online gambling is just a convenience, should it no longer be available, I don’t think gamblers will have no problem going to physical casinos to make their bets. These gambling outlets were very popular before online gambling came into play.

even if the government bans gambling, it will not make many people starve, because gambling is just a means of entertainment, it is not an industry that many people rely on to eat or earn money from.  so i think that banning the gambling industry in a country will not have a significant impact, because gambling is not something that is too important for a country, unless the country really relies on this industry for its economy like macau or las vegas, then  this is a different case.

I don’t think they will put an end to it. And even if they did, before everything went online, it was working just fine offline. I have noticed that the number of people who go to physical casino has greatly reduced but however, if it came down to that, people will gladly go to physical stores. And considering that some people are already addicted to gambling, they will be the first ones to make the casino their new home.

Winning in gambling isn't as easy as you made it to sound, even having a consistent win of $100 daily is difficult, else gambling would have been considered a source of income by all gamblers. In fact, your possibility of winning in gamble is 5% out of 100% meaning it's full time luck we are talking about here. Both you prediction put together with analysis, you are on the lower side of even wining a bet especially in casino games. However it's wrong for taking gambling as your only source of income in such economy because, paraventure your bet didn't favour you that day, you be in a handicapped situation were you'll have to beg just to feed.

This is the main issue on here is on the time that people do really love on making that kind of generalization on which on the time that they've seen such situation or scenario then they would really be liking directly to stop something or whatever the ideas that they do have in mind without even trying out to see or check on whats on the other side whether they are really saying those things as if they are really that right without even trying to look into the positive side of things. There are really indeed some considerable words but we know that there's a reason behind on why government would really be that planning on making it stay on which it is really that understandable on why they are really that making it that way.

There's no easy way for them to ban out online gambling or whatever that it is really connecting about making up some revenue on which its really that understandable
because there's really a benefit into it.

This sounds like a very graphic story and story that doesn't make any sense.
First: $100k won every day, this is ridiculous, gambling experts can't win that amount in a day.
Second: if he really can win $100k per day, from now on he can bet for the next month or before online gambling is closed in that country, of course he already pocketed $3000k/30 days, I thought he was able to support his seven children and grandchildren without working, does that make sense, I think that's just an illusion.

And one more thing, the government's threat to online casinos, not just today, this has been programmed many times by the government, the fact is that in the field of online casinos there are increasing numbers, including almost all countries, For that reason, there is no need to worry about casino bans, relax and enjoy what is there and one more thing, don't hallucinate too much.

If government bans or stops gambling nothing will happen. People will eat no body will die of hunger Afterall before gambling came into existence people where feeding very well. And mean while who told him that all Gambler are beneficiary of gambling profit? As far as I know gambling is a game of luck and %80 lose to gambling everyday while the remaining %20 that manage to win does not even win on a regular basis but occasionally. so how come he thinks people are benefitting dis days. I just think the person doesn't know what gambling is all about, if not he will know that gambling is not a work or a get rich quick scheme rather a game of luck and chances.

What's the problem for making money from gambling? although technically most people will loss in gambling, but if someone really able to make money from it, I don't see anything wrong with it. Actually if he can consistently making money from gambling, he should have money to fly to other country that allow gambling, so he don't have to care whether his country ban gambling or not.

As for online casino will make young generation to gamble, you need to know if illegal land based casino do exist and they don't care how old are you, they allow anyone to gamble including kids.

I know there are people who have taken on gambling as a career. I am very much aware of this however, even when they do they don't just place bets from morning till night, there are other things they do in addition to it. GwapGettah (https://www.youtube.com/@GwapGettah) for example is a professional gambler who owns a YouTube Channel, and creates gambling contents. This is what he does. I am sorry if you think that I am blaming him for crying out but in reality they are only a few people who make money via gambling full time and those are most likely going to be the high-rollers, those in the VIP loyalty programs of the casinos.

It is wrong to assume that if the government put an end to gambling people will die of hunger. What a stupid thought is that, like the whole people in the world are into gambling. Even if we find it to be that way, is everyone winning every day in gambling? What of those who haven't won a dime from gambling for weeks or months, have they died out of hunger? No, is your answer.

However, what will then make someone die, if the government stops gambling in the future? Laziness. Someone who is lazy and refuses not to work than depends on gambling for a living. Stopping gambling will at least help the gambler to save up money for themselves and their families than losing money to a gambling house

I've always said online gambling goes beyond games. Its a huge economic engine. I guarantee that the government shutting it down hurts everyone. Casinos generate huge tax money and employ many people. We're not talking about internet gamers. This is smart economics. This is about an industry that can generate significant state revenue for public services. Without it, states could lose cash. Simple math, guys.

Remember the entrepreneurial spirit. People are turning little bets into life-changing amounts. Inspirational and transforming! That potential should be encouraged, not hindered. Online gambling wont cease by outlawing it. It will force it underground, away from safety controls. That hurts everyone.

he doesn't mean that he won such amount he's just saying it for ristance someone, can luckily win such amount without not struggling for it or not depending with his monthly income. But why those it sounds unbelievable to you? I've seen people who gamble and win such amount of money but not with little stake. So I don't doubt him in any which way.

Nothing will happen, everything will still return to normal life, after all, gambling is not a source of life that can provide many benefits to its users, BTW, it seems you drink too much so you are talking a little too far, how can you get $ 200 to become $ 100k every day? , gambling is not a source of income for some people, they can still work and do business or trade, no one is harmed even though gambling does not exist at all, you are discussing online gambling, of course you already know what the use of VPN on the internet is, so any country that prohibits it If people like to gamble they will do many things to gamble at online casinos.

Technology has become more sophisticated and online casinos are very easy, in fact new ones appear every day, lots of different types, so you don't need to worry too much about losing access to gambling, after all, your government won't do much work to prohibit public access, the point is that what you say is a little out of line. In the minds of the gamblers here, nothing would happen if without online gambling everything would go on as usual even though there are bad effects that occur but they are not too dominant.  ;)

I'm not doubting that if the government stopped gambling it won't affect everyone but it'll definitely touch someone people's life's. Why cause their someone people which they're sacked from work or quite working due to one or two reasons, and this set of people only benefits from gambling all day they do lose but they don't care about that. So if eventually the government tries to end gambling don't you think this set of people will definitely feel it mostly?

just as you said that if the government stops gambling people will still go back to the physical gambling, but do you know that some countries do see the physical gambling as illegal of which if they caught you doing that you might be sentence to jail. But this days you don't know who gambles or not but you only hard of someone winning. And currently now most people won't go back to that type of gambling anymore, cause it seems insane to them and social media have made so many people got addicted to gambling and lazy cause they don't go out to gamble they can stay at anywhere and place a bet. And that'll definitely affect the addicted ones only and those people who takes gambling as their source of incomes.

Yea, only those who are employed to work in casinos, betting shops and other gambling platforms (including owners of these betting platforms) have the right to complain and feel sad if gambling is eventually put to an end. Every other gambler out there will have to fall back to something else which will be difficult to do if they can't plan their lives now.


I have seen quite a number of gamblers who do nothing all day except gambling, I mean those gamblers we tag as Irresponsible. A lot will change in their lives. For the first few months or even years, they will have to struggle to adapt to a new way of living a live they are not used to. Their normal live is gambling, so adjusting will be difficult. I am not interested in those gamblers who have other sources of income, I am talking about those gamblers who rely on nothing aside gambling.

Physical gambling is still sought-after in many countries FYI. It's way easier to gain access to physical gambling houses, especially the illegal ones since they won't be asking for any official documentation or something like that before you can play. Here in the Philippines alone, even if online gambling is more prevalent, you can still see a lot of people getting interested to local pubs and gambling houses just because they can easily play with little to no questions asked.

If they were to completely ban online gambling here, illegal gambling houses will still prevail and might even flourish since the law enforcement themselves are protecting these places--with a fee, of course.

If governments has to put an end to gambling it actually won't hurt the people but the government itself as we all know it has huge taxation in it and for me that action will help average people to not use their hard earned money on something that does not guarantee any return.

Well if online gambling would ever stop someday, those who are invested in it are going to be the most affected ones from that. But even if it happens people would basically make another alternative for it, because this is how the world of business functions. Onsite and physical casinos are still gonna be there so people also can go back to the traditional casinos because till this day traditional casinos are still there and still have many people going there frequently.

When you said people can starve and be hungry and all, gambling was never a main source of income to begin with, it is just an entertaining activity, people still have their jobs and the world is full of opportunities. Many countries don't allow gambling it is completely forbidden, people there live a normal life and they are not starving so I guess people can live without gambling and casinos.

It will do in both sides. For gamblers, it will have huge impact to those regularly gambling, they will make anything to do it by their own or group of gamblers to do the activity or going fully online. Much worse for those problematic gamblers.
For governments, yes,it will have an impact to taxation as you have said.

To put an end to gambling is meaningless because people will always gamble on money, regardless casinos are legal or not. If they prohibit it, then there will be underground casinos and that will cause more harm than good. If poverty is high in your country, don't expect that gambling will give it any good but it will really increase your employment rate. For example, in my country, there are many casinos and they hire a lot of people, including dealers, shufflers, software developers, project managers, designers, customer support and etc... They probably hire a total of up to 10K people. If they put an end to gambling, up to 10K people will become jobless and gambling restriction is not going to put an end to poverty.

That's one thing the OP should understand, maybe in his country lots of individuals gambling as a means of making money or a means of earning a living but that's wrong, the concept of gambling wasn't to enrich individuals but should be taken as a means of fun or entertainment and even if one has an intention of earning from it, It should be taken as a side hustle and not as a major source of income cause success in it is not guaranteed.

 And even if they're to shut down gambling it's not going to affect the general society, but only individuals in your country, anyways they'll still find other means of survival cause you can't tell me gambling is the only way people survive in your country, however I think it's the casino owners that would be more worried of losing their business but I doubt if that would be possible due to the task generated from casinos to the government except maybe a government discovers that lots of it's citizens use it for money laundry that's when they'll be forced to step in.

Online gambling is just one of the basic amenities of modern society, except this amenity includes additional amenities, so society can still get through a world without online gambling but the benefits for many sides will not respect this termination action because for people, it is an activity to relieve stress, for businessmen, it is a form to get more gold and for the government, operating properly with regulations will be one of the economic sources that compensate for many aspects

I think if online gambling will be banned and vanish, then most likely people will return to traditional casinos so it’s really not a big deal actually since people can still gamble through going into physical casinos just like the old times. But I doubt if we will reach this point that online gambling will have an end, maybe for some selected games that can easily attract addiction and ruin their lives, but probably for other regular games, they will continue to operate it and will continue to promote it online.

If, I don't think it'll happen, online gambling is eradicated, nothing would change. Gambling continues! Although since after COVID the world renowned internet users embraced online gambling as a means of participating in gaming. However, that doesn't mean people weren't gambling before the institution of the online gambling business. The world economy is also impacted by online gambling which also benefits the government. Players don't actually depend on gambling to feed as Op said in his write up. The only wrong thing is the way gamblers made themselves to be seen in the society.

Online gambling happened to be very noisy compared to offline gambling which erupted such views from non gamblers. It's true that lots of mischievous people participate in gambling, but it doesn't change the notion and objectives of online gambling. Which provides a strong avenue for comfortability and relaxation for players. Respectfully, online gambling platforms are law abiding and have never boycotted any rule issued to them by the government. Hence, the online gambling niche is still organized and players on the other hand will continue to gamble even if online gaming never existed.

This is obviously a big fat lie. Who dears win $100k from casino on a daily basis? Come to think if it, if everyone in there place is winning such amount everyday, that means the casino will short down. Maybe he said a huge amount as a show off and not really because he wins such amount on daily basis or it could also be that he has been lucky before and won jackpots of that amount and hoping to win such amount again in the future before his dreams gets cut short by the government trying to ban gambling. Am just thinking how possible it is to win such amount daily, there is no way that has been possible before now, even the best gambler can not make such win daily.

If government finally bans gamble, people will live their normal lives as if gambling never existed. There are some countries that gambling is banned and the citizens are still happy enjoying themselves with other means of fun to entertain themselves.

If gamble is stopped, it will help more people to be responsible because a lot of people started gambling for profit just like the guy OP mentioned in his post. Some people see gamble as a job to them and this is where they got it wrong because gamble will only frustrate and make them suffer from addiction, due to chasing of their losses.

I think most governments will find ways to manage and collect taxes from this type of business. If it is intentionally banned, people will find ways to play on websites with servers located abroad, and thus people's money will accidentally flow abroad. This situation is happening in my own country. Gambling is one of people's entertainment needs, and it is very difficult to prohibit them from gambling when these types of gambling are now heavily promoted in the media.

My country is also gradually realizing that, so there are drafts to amend the law to allow some forms of gambling to operate, including online gambling. If managed well, they can both minimize risks for players and ensure that gambling activities are conducted in a transparent manner. Therefore, I think a certain country (including your country) banning online gambling will only be a temporary solution, and then they will legalize this form of gambling.

Yes, you are totally correct but it's also important to have an understanding of the impact when misused, especially to those who are really struggling with addiction, so why it put food in some people table, helps in education and all that you have said but we should also remember the negative impacts or consequences on individuals and the society at large like financial problems as a result of gambling addiction etc. So while you are right, let's take the safety and wellbeing of the individuals and the society as it can cause depression, mental stress etc. so considering both the negatives and positives to create safer and more awareness and supportive environment for all.

This seems impossible to happen as we are now in the era where everything can be done via the internet and the Internet is already our need in our day-to-day life.
There are some advantages and disadvantages, best advantage for me is it will reduce gambling addiction as gambling will be less accessible. Disadvantage could be loss of revenue for some businesses.

I doubt that will happen but let's just use the "What if it happens?"

Okay, first, there's going to be a lot of people that will lose their jobs. Imagine how many employees are there. From the Marketing team, the Financial team, the Advertisers, the developers, and those who are in the office. That's a lot of jobs.

Secondly, the tax that is coming from this gambling site, is also a lot of money that helps grow the economy of wherever the gambling site is erected.

Finally, the people who are entertained by gambling. Sports bettors for example. It's a good chance to boost the excitement for the game and without it, I think it will just be a normal football, basketball, or whatever sport a gambler prefers. I think a lot of money is coming in and out from the sector and it would be a waste if they do it illegally than just choosing the legal path.
Wasted money without any third party getting some profits out of it and worst it could start an increase in violence and criminal activities.

I say, regulating it is the best option.

Some people will still search for the ways to keeps playing gambling and will used a secret places to gathers those people to playing gambling. The government can't stops this as those people will not easily to invite other people who likes playing gambling because they don't wants their governments knows about that and catch them.

Maybe it's good if gambling is stopped by the government, but the governments must searching for the way how they can gives another jobs to the casino employees. If casino is closed, many employees will lose their jobs and the government must gives solution for this. It's a dilemma as the government wants to stops people from gambling but they also needs to thinks about the casino employee's destiny. Maybe the governments can use a strict rules for people who wants to playing gambling and not just closed without thinks much.

These are big businesses with a lot of money circulating, and for some countries it would make sense to compare cash flows, namely how much money players in the country spend on gambling and send to other countries. There are countries in which it is specially done that the tax on winnings can be paid less if we played on a site registered in our country. This definitely makes sense because money does not leave the country. But if online gambling had been closed in my country, I’m sure that people would have found ways to get around it; in addition, underground casinos have become widespread. Players have a need for thrills and adrenaline, they simply cannot live without it. Even if they can't find a place to play even in neighboring countries, they will direct their energy to seek thrills in other places, and I wanted them to be good places and not cause inconvenience to other people.

I think there must be a reason why the government prohibits gambling in the country, it certainly won't have anything to do with religious prohibitions or taxes, but maybe because of the many cases where divorce rates, suicides and the like have increased because of gambling so there are quite strict prohibitions and regulations To stop it, in my country there is also a case where a gambling addict killed his wife because he was in a lot of debt playing gambling and didn't want his wife to leave him. Finally he killed his wife and also committed suicide.

Cases like this happen very often and the crime rate is high, for example robbery where it is carried out because they want to use money to gamble from the proceeds of the robbery or even the proceeds of the theft, maybe there are reasons like that that make the government prohibit gambling, but that doesn't mean gambling remains inaccessible, everyone can access it even though it is blocked, they can still use VPN, but it all comes back to each person, I think it is also a good thing for the government to do to reduce the crime rate or even other cases related to the impact of gambling, maybe that way can make people aware that they can gamble responsibly and not use it as a place to make money.

As much as possible  they wont really be tending to ban out gambling not unless if they do completely going against it but we do know that only a few of those places would really be making out such decision and most of them would definitely be that allowing gambling considering on how big this industry is and on how profitable it is. When it comes to taxation comes from its revenue then there's no doubt that they would really be giving out some prioritization out of it on which its really that indeed true that there's no way that they will really be just that neglecting it out becuase of the possible revenue that it could possibly give.
PUtting and end on a certain industry wont really be that something easy but since government would really be always have the full control then there's nothing we can do about it but of course you could really
expect that there would really be those illegal places that would really be that existing.

The rationality for gambling is why people actually lose in gambling. Imagine not having anything to eat and then you decide to use your remaining cash to try fee multiple bets maybe you can win something for the bag and then in the process, you loss everything. With this, if this persistency becomes norm to people, they will regulate gambling most especially the sports platforms and bookies, people are loosing but it's good for the casino and the government taxes.  ;)


How can someone with $200 be term as a poor person. If I have such amount of money, I will only used few to gamble and I'm very confident in myself that I can win from that amount. It's only when you want to use $100 to win thousand and millions you end up losing everything. I see that as greediness, you want to reap where you never sow nothing.

Gambling is not a job and not a means of funding bills, if the government ban it, nothing will happen but it will deprive people the from the fun and passion for sports and other things and it will affect their revenue as well because gambling brings more tax to the government.

I don't understand why people are directly dependent on gambling instead of finding a permanent employment for themselves or how they manage their families directly dependent on gambling. We all know that the future of gambling is uncertain and anything can happen in gambling. Gambling can go against the odds, so how people rely on direct gambling in their family campaigns is based on such uncertainty. If the government stops gambling in a certain country I think people will not die without gambling but they will have to look for work instead of depending on gambling and when they can work they will get rid of the misconception that they can't gamble. If you don't eat, you will die.

Wel just because he can stake "200 and win about 100000" doesn't necessarily mean that's what people are doing and wining.  I guess it depends on what country you live in, but here in the United States gambling has only become more and more accepted/legal and it's going at a fever pitch. 

Let's say your government does ban online betting for good, you've still got the option to use a VPN and online casinos.

In fact online gambling is more popular now because gambling is banned in many countries because of which people are more addicted to online gambling so keeping their privacy. Actually the story of getting rich by gambling is very old so most of the people get addicted to this lure and gamble. There are as many success stories as there are bad reactions. Because many people today have become poor by gambling but also many people have become rich. If gambling is banned in my country i will play secretly and i will not even let my family and friends know about it. In that case i will always be lonely and focus more on online gambling.

Gambling is not a source of income if you can't earn income by hard work then easy money will not bring success in your life. Just as you can win multiples of your bets in gambling, you can also lose them, so don't rush into gambling just thinking about the odds. If someone uses gambling seriously, it will be a big mistake in his life. Gambling is a game of luck so it does not guarantee anything to anyone. So it is foolish to dream of making a living through gambling

The guy should also know that gamble is not a good meand of making money, it's very difficult to make money from gamble because it's doesn't work well for us all the times. A gambler might end up losing everything he has because he's thinking that gamble is were he can be able to make money daily. But I can't and don't believe that the government will ever put an end to gamble because these gambling companies are paying their tax to the government and if I am not mistaken, I think some of this gambling companies are owned by some of these government officials.

Their government will see many underground casinos will established that will out of their hands so the government can't touch it with their laws. Their government can't asks the winners from underground casinos to pay taxes because they don't knows where the underground casinos operates. The owner of the underground casinos will not tells their business to many people or relatives because they wants to make sure that their business can operates without any problems. That's why gamblers will still find a ways to playing gambling and when they meets other gamblers they will asks about the underground casinos and will comes to that places. It's better the government makes the casino legal and lists on their business lists so the government can asks the casinos to pay the taxes. The government can also gets tax from the winners and the government can make a deal with every banks to knows who the gamblers are.
