I have been wondering if ever any casino have engaged in a community service before or planning to do so. So far, I understand that casinos pay taxes and these tax are used by the government for running the state affairs but I was curious to know if it is possible because I have never seen it or heard about any casino doing such before or if any have started doing it. You can make it known here for us to see.

If this step is taken to render community service by casinos, it would make a difference and that casino would forever be recorded in the book of history to have done such or joined the list of the few casinos to have done such if any have really done that before.

If you think this is not a new thing or there are casinos doing this, you could please drop the link here or material or facts for us to see for ourselves and applaud the casino for that singular act of theirs.

Land based casinos have corporate social responsibilities. Use Google and search, you'll see that there are a lot of them. From the little I have read, their corporate social responsibilities revolve around the UN Sustainable Development Goals(SDG).

This depends mostly on the owner mindset and most owners of reputable casinos do not care much for community service from what I have seen up until now.They only like to fatten their pockets and fortune and as long as they achieve it they are OK with such achievement.I know that if these types of such casinos get to bring something else beside taxes to the government to the community as they surely can afford to do it,would be great for that community.

You are correct, and most of the owner aren't charitable if they do they could had mostly provide that, although we can't give full analysis on some of them that does it because if they does without it being publicly announced or a kind of content to that is created to carry the news you won't, for example I mostly found that is most of the reputable exchange such as binance but I hardly seen it on gambling site except for the second poster outlined already.

Community service in form of giving back to the society are most done by businesses or companies that provide direct services to the populace such services that doesn't have age restrictions or having a legal tussles around it existence, such as telecommunications company and other civil society organisations.


Although if it an offline casino and being operated within an approved country or region, that could birth possibilities of such physical casino being engage in community service in form of giving back to the community for the support.

any big group, has already such kind of programs (very easy... just think about gambling rehab or promotion against heavy gambling...)
In my country several big groups are already paying these kind of service...

If you know marketing, you know very well that this is just another kind of promotion... many years ago a famous "candy" "golia bianca" (white golia) was promoting their initiative in north pole to save white bear...
of course they don't care about bears, it was just a way to promote their brand and depict them as "interesting in nature" etc etc

There’s a lot of physical casino in our country that do a lot of charity and community works as way of giving back to the community and also as part of their marketing.

So fr I don’t see any crypto casino that do this kind of community service but Physical do tjis frequently since they need to promote their business to gain customers for good.

Also national lotteries usually donate part of the profits on charity works like in my country. It funds Philippines Heart Center and they have a foundation to help people in need.

What I know a casino and other gambling site should do that is very important and that is important for other businesses is to pay tax. I think all licenced casinos will pay their tax. People that are needed for community services are those that the government paid to do so or those that are told in court to do community service as a punishment. Gambling sites or land based gambling places can decide to help in community service or not. If they pay their tax and not evading it at all, they should be applauded.

I could imagine how it would feel like hearing that casinos are rendering community service to the society after paying their tax to the government where they are operating. It could give them a good edge in the sight and making them have good name In the eyes of the people irrespective of the fact that they are gambling organisation. Their impart in the society would be felt and applauded by the government and people of the society because these days, it is very difficult to see such in the society with how things are going on now.  If any casino here on this platform are engaging in community service, I would applaud them for that because it is not an easy task to accomplish.

They are not really sincere to do this kind of activity because in fact this kind of program is also against the business model of Online casinos.
This is done only because it is part of the social responsibility that is imposed on casino companies to follow the rules of the jurisdiction in which they operate.

Some critics also argue that such programs are done only to improve their public image or simply carry out social obligations imposed to escape regulatory scrutiny.

Just like any other organizations that pays taxes it doesn't stop them from rendering community service to the people because everyone have marketing strategies so they can get involved in community services to give an impression that they are giving back to the society especially for a new casino though sincerely speaking I haven't witnessed any local casinos in my geographic location involved in such free will charity to the people but I have heard of it in other places.

In the forum here, for me the best services casino companies are giving to the forum members is regular and prompt payments to members representing their respective campaigns, almost all the campaigns that advertise their signatures and avatar on this forum makes sure that campaign participants are paid accordingly and some of which offers bonuses for their participants more especially those that makes more quality posts so regardless of the fact that we are marketing this casino companies by wearing their signature and avatars the payments we receive from them is also a way of them showing appreciation to us so community services is done in so many ways, it must not be physical before we can identify it.

Here in our country, our casinos and lottery platforms are managed and run by the government, and a huge part of the revenues goes to social services like hospitalization and health benefits for the poorest of the poor. In fact, some of our major public hospitals are being sustained by the agencies that run these gambling platforms.

This is the reason why gambling is legal in our country because the huge revenues go to fund projects by our government to serve its poor people.

The mistake here is to think the casinos pay taxes, since they have a Curacao license they don't pay taxes, they pay things like a license or pay winnings to gov from the users who fail their KYC, but they don't pay taxes, and if you don't believe me then feel free to google about the tax on casinos in curacao.

But some casinos donate money to sites that help users with gambling problems, they do it to have a clear awareness.

It is nice hearing that you  have heard of casinos doing charity service at their  various locations.  Paying tax is another thing and doing charity is another. If a casino does charity that is a good thing because they felt like giving back to the society and not looking at the fact that they pay tax to the government. I believe they just see that as an obligation they owe the society for the patronage they have been gaining from that particular society or region they are located. Do note that if they do such it would be a big plus to their casino because on the other hand, it is a good marketing strategy for them as they are land casino and would also further need patronage from the community where they are located.

Understand the context of the topic as concerned to be a charity service to the public. You are being employed by your campaign manager to work for him and helping to promote the casino organisation and you get paid for your services. This is a marketing strategy by the casino to promote their services and it is not a free thing because they are paying you for your services compared to the charity done for the community. These two engagements are quite different from one another. Although they are mostly targeted at promoting the casino but that of the public is done for community charity service for the public to see that they're giving back to the society. While that of this platform is targeted at also engaging members to help promote their products because of the presence of possible client they could get from the platform. So it is all a plus plus for all parties involved.

If a casino decides to engage in community service, the community service does not have to paint them in a perfect light, like they are unaware of the dangers of addiction that can cause people. The casino has to address the main challenges and create awareness in the community through their community service.

One of the best community services that a casino can provide is massive awareness about the dangers of addiction and the need to gamble responsibly, or campaigns discouraging underage gambling.

If a casino engages in community service as a marketing strategy, they will not only succeed in attracting eligible gamblers; underage gamblers will be attracted as well.

yeah, it's not something new, casinos have been donating to charities or helping the community where their casino is built by donating to the local government to help make a small school, a library, a community park, etc... doing these charitable works not only the community it also helps their casino have a good image in the community and to whoever finds out about their charity work. also, if I remember correctly donating money to charity also helps reduce their tax.

here's another link(below) to an article talking about online casinos doing charitable works
https://www.fsamarin.org/the-rise-of-philanthropy-in-online-gambling/

I think that's the best community service any casino can render to the society. Helping people understand the importance of responsible gambling. Other ways of giving back only matters in items but wouldn't save any player in trouble. However the compulsive players may not willingly show up to participate in such a program. Since, in their perspective, it doesn't seem to benefit them in anyway. Addictive players get moved by money. Sitting still and getting counselled is a no.

Unless casinos find a way to pay them for attending those therapy sessions, most addicts won't give it a shot. But getting this right will help the casino increase its revenue. Addictive players who have ran out of control can be revived to stay responsible for his family and community. Eradicating the sad publicity gambling has in the society. It'll only take some times. People can begin to realize that gambling is not wrong. New players can as well enroll to avoid getting into a compulsive style of gambling.

MGM Resorts International has a well-known philanthropic arm that supports various community initiatives: Employee Engagement and Volunteering (https://www.mgmresorts.com/en/company/sis/investing-in-our-communities/employee-engagement-and-volunteering.html)

Caesars Entertainment has its Caesars Foundation that focuses on older individuals, education, and sustainability efforts. HERO is Caesars Entertainment's Team Member volunteer program and their primary community impact initiative. They have a long tradition of Team Members volunteering in their communities with the annual investment of their HEROs reaching thousands of hours of engagement and support of local causes.

Oh my brain assumed if it was possible to render community service in casinos lol, gotta take my morning coffee first I guess. Anyhow, I reckon casinos themselves engage in such activities, or similar to them, kind of like how politicians would suddenly go on and do some activities that show that they're "kind". Now I don't know exactly whether community service has been rendered so far, but at the very least they've done some help to the community.

Not that it serves to do anything imo, it's just peanuts to them and the help rendered isn't supposed to be something we're eternally grateful for. Yea, we can be grateful but that stops there, it's called "community service" for a reason. Pretty similar to how the Govt't keeps pushing out projects that look good, but not ones that really help the people.

I don't think it is really necessary, and whoever runs if there is any just for the public stunt and nothing else. As individual we maybe on to different things but to be successful in business it needs to be in the way that it has to be so adding more expenses is going to add the operational cost of casino so why would any casino will do that unless it's required by the law?

I also know stake.com has donated big amounts to Ukraine and LeBron James' foundation.

Yeah, there's no denying that stuff like this also serves as a promotion for their casino but at the end of the day, the gesture has helped people in need. If I was in a dire situation, I probably wouldn't care if people are cashing in on my tragedy lol -- desperate times call for desperate measures lol. Further, one could also say with the amount of money at stake, it possible they could produce better results in other promotional areas.

I believe they indeed exists.
Some weeks ago I read about a casino within Europe (I think it was Sweden), which does not pay taxes because all their revenue/profit is donated for charity programs help by themselves. They only keep enough money so they can continue to operate.
I believe that is a good example, most of the casinos which have those kinds of programs seems to be landbased and have their headquarters in Europe, Australia or Canada. In the United States casinos seems to do those things less often and limit themselves to pay taxes.

Well...
As part of its commitment to protecting the environment, a casino must consider the impact on its own communities and this can be done in several ways. A casino can encourage projects that help local wildlife, improve water quality and reduce carbon emissions. The Global Warming Solutions Act of 2008, for example, requires that casinos reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. The Massachusetts Environmental Policy Act, meanwhile, requires casino licenses to follow strict standards of transparency, integrity and public review. Additionally, any casino license must support smart growth policies and set a limit on carbon emissions from its development and vehicles.

Corporate social responsibility is not limited to the environment, but also extends to the health and well-being of the community. While closing the Las Vegas Strip would result in fewer people losing their money, it would also mean thousands of people losing their jobs. Still, the benefits of sustainability do not outweigh the costs of addiction. The sustainability of a casino, including poker betting, tennis betting, is vital to its community, and you can't blame it for wanting to be an example for others.

I don't think any link or pictures or published stories may be too necessary at this day and age where we know that a business like casino business will try to at the best, operate low-key so as not to attract the wrong kind of crowd, whether they are legally operating or not.

One thing to also bear in mind is that, many atimes, the casinos can be responsible for the outstanding features of the environment they operate within and can do good to the people living around and mostly patronize them or are leaders in the community  they operate in.  Even businesses not casinos do community service without anyone knowing, so why should it be much news if a casino does community service or not?
It is possible in essence, for a casino to do community service without much notice.

Somehow that's true, especially here in our country, the famous land based casinos are not really charitable but not sure because maybe later there are people who support and help them but they don't just broadcast it on the news or any media sites, but when it comes to their employees, they are gallant and even offer scholarship programs for employees, can we consider that as part of their charity works?

So i'm not sure about community service efforts but I know Seminole Hardrock definitely donates to local charities & I guess that could in a way be synonymous with helping the good of the community & a service to the community through a monetary donation. So in a way that is at least one example of where a casino has made an effort to impact other organizations and an entire community at large by writing a few checks: https://www.morningstar.com/news/pr-newswire/20240514fl14433/20-years-of-impact-seminole-hard-rock-hotel-casino-tampa-commemorates-milestone-with-400000-gift-to-20-tampa-bay-charities I guess a few strokes of the pen would be the act of community service in this case.

Some casinos can go further and engage in charity work, thereby receiving a lot of positive reviews and removing any thoughts about some kind of illegal business. Good deeds always have a psychological effect on people. Knowing that the money received in the casino will be given to help children (for example) can be an incentive to play for those who play and subconsciously understand their passion; however, the thought that they are also helping those in need calms them down and motivates them to play. In the same way, you can find information about casino charities in different sports to motivate athletes to achieve better achievements, thereby again attracting customers.

This aspect of receiving positive reviews is another factor that benefits casinos that engages in charity service to the society. With that alone, they could get customers that would not mind gambling with their casino wether they operate legally or illegally. They do not mind because already they know that the casino is doing something meaningful in the society so they would take it as their money is not going in vain but rather to the community where they belong and that would as well motivate them to gamble for fun and forget about anything that comes up as a result of their gambling possiblely a little deduction from their account or sometimes withdrawal fee too can be overlooked by the gamblers.

Yes, Casino community service is possible but the owners of casinos are greedy guys who just want to be rich themselves instead of helping the community. I don't think that any casino owner would do something like that, and to be honest I haven't seen one that's doing something like that yet.

They do have some cooperate responsibility service that they do for communities that they are located especially land based casinos and game house. They are just like companies with registration and obligations to fulfill even though they have their own regulatory body or authorities different from companies usually the gaming board depending on the auspices they are in different countries but they are charged with some support program for the community. For example the ones in Nigeria do support football players to organise competition where prices are given and players from the competition are selected to be supported to travel for screening in different clubs. From time to time, depending on the agent, they organise parties where gifts are shared for customers and friends.

If I recall correctly, there are physical casinos that have their own initiative when it comes to charity or any kind of corporate social responsibility depending on what is needed in a certain country.  From my general knowledge, there have been instances where gambling companies would donate to certain charitable groups and foundations for a certain cause.

In the Philippines, we have this government entity called Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office in which they are responsible for our nation-wide lotto games. A certain percentage of all the lottery winnings will be dedicated towards charity and other health programs for the benefit of our citizens.

While PCSO is a government-owned project and initiative, I also do think that there are land-based casinos that have their respective programs and projects catering to the poor. Not only does this help these people but it also somehow cleans their name as a gambling institution.

I never see about that happens but maybe that will be a good idea if the casino apply that. But I wonder if casino really have that will because casino is a business and the owner wants to makes a profit. While the owner will not thinks that is their jobs to have that render community service and they can lets the government does that jobs. The casino can still pays the tax to the government and focus with their business but casino can contribute to other things such giving donations if something bad happens to the city and helps people who needs helps. Casino can cooperated with local charity to helps people and gives that donations to them so that will be their contribute to helps people. If the government wants to runs this services, they must asks to every casino around their country or cities so that plan can works properly.

From how I see it on the other side of this, these casinos are not obliged to the community to render them some community services on the premise that they do pay regular taxes to the government the government can always take care of those community affairs. It is business and if they don't make sure to getting their pockets fattening they'll surely run out of business (competition). However, any casino that wish to commit itself to it can go on but it's shouldn't be something that should be used to discredit those not doing it.

I don't even subscribe to the idea of casinos carrying out community services because, that could be another form or avenue of advertisement attracting the indulgence of people that had never concerned themselves with anything gamble.  If casinos start doing this it can lead to a drastic increment in the number of gamblers in the society.

Wether or not, gamblers will keep increasing. I can't lie to the fact that it another avenue for promotion of there brand and also publicity but community isn't bad idea .

There are localities were, you exist but some projects need to be done, you can help same time carry it out, sanitation, roads, water, all this isn't wrong in anyway. It based on the Management and is subjective to them. But is a nice move and applaudable.

It's not really like casinos collect all the money from gamblers and doing nothing, no, it's also the quite opposite. Many casinos have a dedicated team that takes care of its social image. They partner and make a deal with charities and other organizations all around the world. They fund different projects that increase the awareness of different social and gambling problems, help addicted gamblers to overcome addiction, give them a psychological help. A friend of mine was working in casino and the casino team organized blood donation, i.e. asked their employees to donate blood for good, it was free will of course and the people who donated blood received a paid day-off and some sweeties.

Casinos already paying a high percentage taxes from their income, I think that's their basic responsibility which they can say no. Gambling is not really associated with charitable works, because this is entertainment and it targets people who like to spend money and take chances. you know, it's gambling, so  not all the time casinos make money although it's true that they make money in the long run.

Personally, I never heard of a casino involve on this activity, probably it's not just the thing of this industry.

The majority believe it's all about the games, the glitz, and "What happens in Vegas..." Well, there's more to it than that, man. Some companies get it. Along with taking your money, they want to help the neighborhood. Trying to make a difference, casinos give money to schools and invest in green energy. The sight is encouraging and a great example of what can happen when companies step up. However, and this is a big however, we need to be honest. Occasionally, these projects are only meant to look good, as a publicity stunt for the casino. In some cases, it's not really about caring about the neighborhood

In my country we have several casinos but I know that only two are the so popular among the rest, I have not seen any of them do any form of community service but what's more important is the tax they pay? Even the casino owners feels they are doing enough by paying their tax to the government which is used by the government to do other things. I don't know how other casino in other countries are doing tho.

AFAIK,  stake.com have sponsored some football clubs and has also shown support in some competition, can we call that a community service? Maybe.

For landbase there could be as they are really huge with billions of dollars of earning. And in my country they are on of the biggest contributor of taxes and I think that is not just for community service, but helping the government already with the money that they are paying.

Or maybe another good gauge is that they help in tourism, in promoting the country that this casinos are, whether in Asia or Mediterranean.

And again, another obvious is that they give jobs to the local community.

Casinos are not created for charity, they are created for gambling. Casinos are also not create for community service but they are created for gambling. The casinos employed workers just as you said and they abide to laws and order and pay tax. What else again? If casinos are doing charity or community service, they are just doing that to help the public and not their work. There are many businesses in life and they focus on their aims and objectives.

Really this is nice to know that gambling sites are involved in such community service like giving money to school and investing in green energy which is what the global energy schale is aiming towards with renewable energy taking the lead in industrial and production aspects of the society, so if gambling site can duversify into such aspects of the society it means alot to their existence and approvals in some regions seeing such positive products coming from gambling platforms.

The gambling industry is a major source of revenue for some nations. Some countries in Caribbean Island and others see gambling as a core part of their economy. Casino engage in social corporate responsibility by sponsoring sports competitions. The local league of my country is sponsored by a gambling firm. They also fund sporting award programs to encourage sporting activities.


The government cannot produce all that the citizens need so they need all the help they can get from individuals and cooperate organization. So it will be a welcome development for casino firms to assist in providing basic amenities to the people, as well as promoting entertainment in the country. Casinos that engage in these selfless activities will also attract more customers and make them reputable in society.

crypto casinos are doing a lot of community service, they are helping sports by sponsoring football leagues and other sports. In my country, for example, many casinos and betting houses in my country have made donations of money, food and clothes to areas in my country where there are many very poor people, also online casinos in my country have sponsored the football league, Unfortunately, I won't be able to speak here about the name of the crypto casino that has also sponsored my country's football league because it is a casino known for being a big scam. but looking at other countries and what crypto casinos are doing in them in terms of community services is visible

for example in the case of stake.com, they are helping a lot in sport by sponsoring everton


source: https://stake.com/sponsorships/everton

they also sponsor the UFC and F1

https://stake.com/sponsorships/ufc

https://stake.com/sponsorships/stake-f1-team

they also sponsor people and more things, this shows that they are helping the sport. A few years ago it was difficult to see things like this, but today we are seeing it and I believe that in more years we will be seeing crypto casinos having foundations to help poor people in many countries where poverty is high.

That’s correct, this is not their business but some laws they are mandated to do a corporate social responsibility where every businesses does. If that casinos really care about their community, they will do an outreach program without being forced. In fairness to our local casinos as they are active in terms of their corporate social responsibility, you can tell by this that they are not just after the money, but also here to help people in need.

Aside from that, we have seen a lot of casinos giving donations during pandemic era. I believe a lot of casinos in those challenging times showed their support to their communities. We may not always hear them to participate in charitable activities but I think, some of them are continuously supporting some of these charity organizations.

 Tribal Casinos Supporting Communities  (https://www.americangaming.org/tribal-casinos-supporting-communities/)
https://talkimg.com/images/2024/05/17/1YRgb.png

 PAGCOR’s donation for COVID-19 response reaches P2.5 billion  (https://www.pagcor.ph/press-releases/pagcors-donation-for-COVID-19-response-reaches-P2.5-billion.php)

PAGCOR, I believe, is not only helping people during pandemic but they are continuously supporting those people who are in need of medical expenses especially those poor ones who can't afford to buy medicines or pay their hospital bills.

In my country, bookmakers and casinos often act as sponsors of sporting events and other charitable events. Also, paying taxes to local budgets also benefits the development of cities and the economy, which is already a good advantage.How often and honestly do they pay taxes? That's a completely different question.But the fact that gambling is part of sports and various events is already a fact.

The only type of service that I have seen some casino or gambling companies in general get involved in is a sponsorship programmeme for an ongoing development or event that's been set up by some big and reputable personnel, which they could see as an opportunity to promote themselves by offering to sponsor the programmeme, and in return they will be announced and advertised there, but when it comes to development like Good Road and the rest of them here in my country, I barely see that.

Ironically, they want to make money more than lose it, and the attention may not be in the way we talk about here. Supporting the community is probably just a small trick in their product marketing plan, perhaps the most common form is that they directly spend on advertising services that are present in their lives depending on the scale campaign model.

But I'm still curious about the difference in what they get in that behavior, because as I understand it, their goal is to make more money, not social spheres.

Road construction requires a huge amount of money to fund such projects so I don't think any casino company can be so generous to the extent of constructing a road all in the name of rendering community services to the people, they can do some minor projects that will not consume a lot of money to Road construction, even in building construction they may not be able to render such services all they can only do is skills acquisition, buying educational and learning materials to students within the area so these are some petty programmes they can offer instead of major projects.

If there are no casinos in your community, it is for two reasons, they are prohibited, or the tax payments are not friendly, it is that simple. So, the question is, why governments are not "friends" with casinos, well, it depends on many factors.

But the reality is that you have to ask the person in charge of your community, or in that order, mayor, governors, etc. That is the approach, and to be honest, community service is the responsibility of any individual or company, it is not something that has to be asked for.

I think it is a topic that can be discussed, but perhaps it is more about society and politics, those places or boards.  :)

Well, there are casino social groups who already did this bit that's by their initiative and no one requires them, actually all of us. Will community service benefit casinos? Nope. Casinos won't have a good image just because they are helping the community. As others have mentioned gambling activities already have higher taxation than with others especially those which are registered on the government. Community service is a good act but that won't be enough for an activity which is believed to be destroying many people's life, be remembered and this is why this is driven only be initiative.Good example actually, this is really what they are more into because casinos will also gain popularity thru sponsorship but other than that, even if they vountarily do a community service, that won't be making things better for its reputation.

Those reputable Casinos have a lot of money so they can afford taxes even if the government increase their taxes. And I don't know if some casino will take this kind of doing that they will do such community services cause we are all know that  they can't benefit from it they can't earned a lot of money perhaps they will loss money to this kind of projects and for sure casino will not do such thing. Which is most of a casino don't have time to do this cause what they are actually do is to monitor their casino and collect all the money that they earned from gambling.

Yeah, I think that many of the casinos are giving back to the community. We don't just follow most of them because it doesn't make sense for us to follow each step that they make. So, whether they give back or not, it's not actually a thing for them to be done because they're a business. But I believe that I've seen before that there are some that does it actually so, I won't be surprised if many of them nowadays have like a yearly giving back and charity to their chosen organization or foundation.

That's the kind of service that they do and not just they're allocating huge taxes to the states or countries where they are located. So, it's a big thing of what they do to the community but on the otherhand, there goes the other people saying that those money that they spend for any affairs that they do are also affecting people that became addicted and have lost their money through gambling with them. But that's the issue of the gambler's and not with the casinos as they're a business.

Casinos fund many sports by providing income for the leagues and the players. Often they'll be sponsors for association teams, individual players and even perhaps entire leagues for soccer. Also many eSports tournaments are entirely funded by online casino sponsorships.

I'd say it's not something I'd wish for that casinos need to donate to charity though. We should be taking care of people in need as a society and filling the gaps with the means of the state, not expecting from casinos. Because this means they'd need to be big to a level that's unreasonable. I'd say the social responsibility for a casino in terms of our expectations should be for them to do their job fairly, run provably fair games and offer reasonable exclusion options to those that need it. Maybe their social contribution expectation would be getting taxed a bit more to fund gambling addiction programs.

Community Service. I know physical casinos are already doing this as well as those gambling games that are under the control of the government. In our case, it's the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO). They are offering financial help to the people with the use of the profits from the lottery and sweepstakes.

Although, I have not heard yet about an online gambling site that is doing this. I think that is what you are pointing out. Well, we are still in the early stage of the growth of online gambling sites. Perhaps, in the future, we will see them doing this kind of charity for the people, especially in what country they base it. Still, the taxes that they pay should be enough for now and in case they thought about making a community service too, then its a bonus.

Well it would be lovely to know or see that casinos render community services  to gamblers that would be a very good marker strategy asides the social media platforms which most casinos used in marketing their business currently, Well any casinos that does that would attract a lot of audience and would generate more money to themselves cause more customers means more money since they have more winning edge than bettors.

 I must commend those casinos that's created a job opportunity to lots of members here who participate in the gambling campaigns here they're doing a great job, like you said, helping people to create quality gambling posts here in the forum well outside the forum it would be lovely to see them host shows in streets and give out gift items to individuals. Well I really appreciate the effort they make here in the forum they're doing great.

There is this saying that "there is nothing new under the sun," which makes me believe that many casinos would be doing community services or similar things to that. They could be sponsoring some people's educations, have foundations, donate to welfare and many more. The issue is that this is more local than international for everyone to know, and the fact that many are now turning to online casinos that are not operating in their home countries will never let them know what is happening in the local countries of the casinos. Also, some owners of casinos will be philanthropists, and of course, that will always be channelled to something beneficial/productive, and many will even have their own foundations and support groups, political affiliation for donations, and fund support groups for the benefit of the society.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to provide you with any links now, but I said all that because I know of some local casinos in my country doing all that. Will many know about it if they (the casinos and them) are not in the same country? And the fact that some casinos are not even operating globally (have their presence in all countries of the world) will never allow some people who are using their services online to know what they are doing in their closets.

Our casino industry plays a major part in not only building our economy but also contributing to fill the coffer of our government It is meant to help the poor sector of our economy


Gambling is very much legal in our country even though we are the only Christian country in the Southeast, but even if gambling is legal in our country, we have a strong restriction on allowing youth to play in casinos, and our casinos are targeting the rich sector of our society; hence the country is profiting from the casino operation, but it is not putting bad effects in the society.

I believe they getting involved in such sponsorship would be very much important for them so they will have to play a role to suit their purpose so that they get announced as you have said. I think it is another strategy by the casino to gain publicity to market their products.  By doing this, they get popular within that region and also traffic to their casino would be a guarantee since they have been announced as the official sponsors of the function that held within the environment they are making them look good in the eyes of the gamblers within that region.

Even if they can't do a community service themselves but as long as they are already paying a good amount of tax, I guess that's still fine? Because, maybe some of these taxes will also go in the community.

I think no casino is forced to do it but they can only do it if they have extra. We can say that it's a kind of expense and they can use the money for something else which they can benefit more but there are people that they can feel good once they help someone else. It still can give them a good publicity and maybe many people will now support them after it. Casino can run automatically and they can hire staffs, so activities like this is possible if they want it to happen.

I think there are casinos that launch an anti-addiction campaign, these are just for them to analyze everything related to fighting addictions with different rabbits, going to clinics, holding conferences on addictions in communities, states and well, this can be taken as an action of these, although casinos are not obliged to do so, when there is a problem worldwide they make donations, with respect to wars there are casinos that make donations to the most affected populations, I think this falls into the community work of a casino, of course that not everyone does it, but there are some that do, so I think that falls within that range of aspects of community work.

I acknowledge that some casinos are indeed resorting to launching anti-addiction campaigns as a way to deal with problem gambling. The effort involves detailed analysis of addiction-related aspects and establishment of partnerships with clinics for community-based conferences at state levels. It is not a legal requirement for all casinos, but it is an initiative that some are adopting as part of their social responsibility.

Moreover, there are certain casinos that offer donations to the most affected populations by various global issues such as war. This can be seen as part of their community service. Although not all casinos take this path, there are some striving to make a positive contribution back to society. Therefore, I find these actions depict that there are some casinos which do take interest and involvement in the community seriously.

Aside that it'll help the publicity of the casino positively, the impact of helping addicted players in the community is quite broad. Most addicts after getting revived through the help of the casino will still go back to gambling. But, may be, this time, responsibly. A lot of compulsive players also don't get to afford therapy sessions, but with the help of casinos lots of willing addicts will get cured. Allowing them unwatched or uncared for, will bring more trouble to the society or community where they inhabit.

It's also a better moment to correct the perspectives of non addicts to avoid completely compulsive forms of gambling. On the other hand, casinos in multiple numbers could be interested in rendering this help like their competitors, but not all casinos are strongly firm. Some could go bankrupt if they don't carefully make out the best time to render the community service. Running a casino is not simple. So, I don't expect lots of them to join this notion of giving back to the society. Yet, I'm impressed with the ones who have decided to help the addicted gambler in their own little ways. It's most appreciated.

Yes, of course things with the casinos are quite good in terms of community services, it is necessary for every casino to start Seeing things as they are, what affects the most is the issue of addiction and many people are in trouble. With that, if we see a casino that is committed to the problem of addiction , then things are different, the casino is seen differently, and it would begin to be seen as one of the casinos most committed to social problems, and that makes that the casino raises its reputation much more, sometimes these types of Acts focused on solving Problems of this style Look very Good and are Better advertising than the same Advertising of bonuses, contests and everything that a casino can do.

But still campaign I stick is still not enough, I mean is that even casino's will do campaign or raise campaign about addiction awareness in gambling, the decision or activity will still depend on the gamblers on how much activity they will do and they are the one that will make themselves as addicted to gambling, and also I'm sure there are only a few casinos that are doing campaign about gambling awareness or anti-gambling addiction because for sure those casino owners will be greedy and will not let their customer to be limited in gambling or playing, so no matter how many casinos are raising anti-gambling addiction, if there are more casinos that's not doing it then the gamblers that will be addicted will not be reduced. But yeah, it will be a good thing if more and more gambling platforms do community service by doing anti-addiction campaigns in gambling.

Well, I think a successful game campaign would be for people to become aware of how they should spend or use their money, and it depends on how it can be spent. A person who has a high financial education will never be an addicted gambler, if a person is addicted because they have to start strengthening their financial education so that when that person has money they do not spend it unnecessarily and fall into addiction, I believe that campaigns can be carried out to increase financial education so that they avoid falling into these temptations such as addiction, well It is a way that I see that a general solution can be directed.

Casinos are not charities and nor are any other companies. They should be paying a fair amount of tax and that is up to the politicians / law makers of individual countries to decide. That tax, as part of the whole tax take of the country can then be put towards these things like maintaining infrastructure, paying for the fire service, trash management and all those other things that keep society functioning. It would actually be worse if casinos tried to impact communities like this, because it could be construed as a bribe and taken away if they wanted to wield power later on. If they want to host small scale events for free, that can be a kind gesture but they should never be relied on for much else.
