Have you ever thought of donating the gambling profits to a charitable cause ?  Sometime people won a big lottery or very high amount of money from betting & gambling games.  Do you ever thought of being generous and helping the poor with this money ?

Who will initiate?well hoping that there’s even one to post but what I believe there are gamblers that has a good heart and doing humanitarian help without other noticing what they do.though they are only few compared to many winners,but you have a good question here and may touched the heart of others to have initiative to donate even small part of their winning to others.looking forward for some positive feeds here as I tend to help others by giving small amount whenever I saw older person or child begging in the street,maybe not from gambling but still opening hearts to other

I agree with your goals for positive things, but if it will be held who will hold the donation and be a trusted person, honestly I want to share some of my results from the lottery for the poor, hopefully it will be of help to the person poor.

So far I have never won a big amount in gambling.
I remember a few years ago I was active in one game platform, and there was a member who said tha  he was build a house after decided move to village, he hard to get loan from Bank to start  agriculture, I donated but not much all is from gambling result.
This story not to tell that I'm generous but to tell people gamblers is not a bad person.

Yes why not it's highly recommended it invite good karma if you win big money coming from the lottery, we can consider this a blessing and we should share the blessing to our family, to our friends, and to our neighbors.
You don't have to tell them where is the money coming from, just give it to them, it's a way of thanking God because you have won and maybe luck will smile again to you and you will have another round of winning.

I would love to do this if only I am profitable in gambling, I mean, a profit that I can consistently make whenever I play.
Dominating is never a problem if we can make easy money in gambling, that's sharing coming from easy money in gambling.

Right now, I am still experimenting but I am still not so consistent so I can't say that I can donate.
When times comes that I am very lucky to win a big amount, donating 10 or 20% of my profit is fine with me.

Depends!

Because not all would have that kind of good heart on minding or considering to have some charitable works after having a big win.
On my side,donating thing will vary on my mood on that time.I cant say i would definitely donate or wouldnt if i do won.
So this will vary from each gambler.

Haha what are you trying to say Donate something out of your sinfully earned money so the sins are washed and that becomes a pure money?? Profits are profits and it's all upto the person earning them that how does he wants to utilise them. It's nothing like only gamblers should be concerned of donations because they got them merely by luck. We all should donate something for the cause of humanity.

I do not think you need to find any person for this. As far as i know there are so many NGO and charity organizations in everyone country and we can donate some amount of gambling profits there. Of course there will no special organization who will accept gambling money as charity.

I won't do that,unless the money I won is more than enough to complete a rich man's life. :D Helping poor is good thing but giving them money will not change them,we have to teach them about something which can be useful to find a job and lead their entire life on their own which cannot be done by individual it has to be taken care by governments.

I have seen some gambler sharing their profit to other gamblers ,
But I never actually heard something like this I mean it would be a good one since you know that you are helping the people who really needs the help.
I only heard of a gambling site giving out some help to a chosen charity project (Primedice and Stake).
But there might be some who have a good heart who is sharing silently their profit to help a charity project.

So you are saying that you will not donate until you get a lot of money and but remember the more money you will get, the more greedy you will get too.
I also contradict your 2nd point of view because Government alone cannot change the people life, it is also the responsibility of the rich people to help the poor ones and every cent matters.

Just do if you care and make you being a human. I don't know what are you considering for?
Being human not always talking we have spend money to those homeless or some. But do an actions to your family, friends, neighbor

To think about donating profit which came from gambling you will need...wait...profit from gambling! So I probably ruled out 99.99% gamblers who could donate profit.

Actually, I have never thought about this, but I know few poeple who usually say I will give part of my "profit" to charity , and guess what, that "profit" usually ends up back in casino owner's pocket. And next time they gamble, they say, I will donate some money to charity...

This whole "If I win I promise I will donate", "I will be good if I win" "...I will do this" and "...I will do that" thing actually sound like superstition. If you want to donate just go for it, don't wait for things which might never happen.

As far as I know UNICEF now accepts donations in Bitcoin and Ether so crypto gamblers could easily donate using their winnings on crypto gambling platforms. Personally I only play for fun and very rarely, but I have never donated my winnings even if they don't exceed my losses. I might make a rule that everytime I win I donate a part like 10-20% to charities and I encourage more of you to do the same. It doesn't matter how much you donate as in some countries you can buy a lot of things with even $1.

Its not the rich man duty,its government duty because everyone paying taxes to government not to the rich man.I just spoke the reality,people may say they will donate but after they won they will forget that and will continue to enjoy their life with the rewards until they exhaust it.

I have but I never had a gambling profit. Not one while calculating my gambling expenses. The greatness of human lies in giving.
Though not won on gambling, I have a day job as well as attend bounties in the forum. I have a clear stats of my earning and has decided to donate 1% of my total earning yearly to some good cause.

It depends, lottery is still considered a gamble and I heard that some of the lottery winners who won big amount donated a portion to a charitable institution. For me, gamblers are still human beings and they can have a good heart, who knows maybe they did donated something to a charity but kept it a secret. We all know gambling doesn't have a good reputation but it doesn't mean that we can generalize gamblers, regardless of the reason they gamble I know that not all of them are bad at all.

I already donate a decent sum of money I make from crypto to charitable organizations and charities, and though I'm overall not very profitable in gambling (very few people are), I'd certainly consider donating a portion of that money to a good cause. There's an exceptionally slim chance I win any sort of large lottery or a significant underdog bet in the first place (due to my risk management strategies in esports gambling), though, so that's something I don't plan on thinking about until it actually happens, if it happens.

Gamblers may have opted to a bad way of earning money but it doesn't mean they are a bad person. Gamblers have different reason why they gamble, some want to have fun and play, some also are so desperate to change their life to a better one and they see gambling as the only option. For me, gamblers can still be good samaritans and donated if not all then perhaps a small percent of their winnings, we can't blame them they also have their needs thus, it is impossible that they donate all of there earnings. Anyways, it doesn't matter how big or small the donation but what's important is that not all gamblers are bad.

NGOs and charitable organizations in my country do exist but to receive donations from gambling does not exist, and I have already given to the organization but rejected for other reasons, well I hope in this forum there are those who accept donations from gambling so can be channeled to people in need.

I've never won a big sum while gambling, but the idea never occurred to me. I think it could be a good project. Like a charity fund for people who one their money gambling. This could make the reputation of gamblers better in the eyes of society, and I suppose it would make sense to dedicate a part of these donations to centers that help people overcome gambling addiction. Donations to the fund could be done either by individuals or by casinos. After all, the house wins eventually, so it would make sense for it to share some of its profits with those who could really use them.

I have thought about it but, never have I won so much that I could go ahead and donate it. In future if I have I will do it for cancer cause.

Why not? If I won big amounts by gambling I just donate it right away on charity or go to orphanages directly, either cash or some goods. They will never know where I got that money from. ;D But gambling is not bad right it is just a game but we need some discipline and control. If anyone really interested in donating I found a charity thread on services review it for yourself. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.0

If I win big or the jackpot, why not donate some of it. Even if I don't win in gambling I usually donate some money or things to the poor. If you like to donate just do it, besides there is nothing wrong of helping the unfortunate.

This is just a silly question btw since most people believe that gambling money is a dirty money, some prideful people wouldn't take that money but I like your idea btw.

I never thought that way as I never ended up my day in profits after gambling. I believe I will not be having any problem to donate if I finish my gambling activities with some profits. Yes, I will definitely denote at least 10% of my profits; it means I do not need to win BIG to think about donating; it is like any amount could be a good amount when it comes about donating. But, the only catch is I must end up my gambling in profits which is unfortunately a long chase and I guess I could never ever achieve in my life time.

Probably, I may donate some big money from my bitcoin profits; Yes, I am holding bitcoins with long term plans and I may donate from them after bitcoin prices reaching some huge levels. This is the only definite plan I am having with respect to donation and I am sorry my donation plans are not based on gambling.

Well, if I win a lottery jackpot, why not? I mean lottery jackpot is more than enough for an individual. I guess giving some people or charities help would not hurt your money. I'll consider it as a blessing, and would not hesitate helping other people. It is like giving some of your blessing to those who needs it.

I think there are still people left who will donate the profit they won in gambling. If I am lucky and won Big amount of btc then i'd surely donate some of it and keep some for myself since I also need money to buy clothes, food and other things. Well, even if I didn't donate it all still I give and share the blessings I got. Anyway, I don't know if winning huge amount will happen. Profit from gambling or not, I already donated some clothes fir those who need it.

I'm a little superstitious so if I won big on a lottery I'd spend some of the money doing good. I believe that when you do good you get blessed by those who received your help and it will protect you and allow you to spend the remaining part of your money and have fun. I would help my friends and family first and then donate some, especially to animal shelters.

Human being do have different traits when it comes to this matter specially on donating to those who are in need.Some would be pitiful some would not care at all.
If you are kind enough on considering to make donations even if you are not winning on gambling then its a good trait but i dont say that those who doesnt care are bad ones either.
If you do have the money that being won big time in gambling then this would really be your main priority since you already done this in the past with or without winning something.

Yes for sure, I think when people win there are happy to share their winnings with others generally, maybe because of the euphoria or because they didn't work to earn it, I don't know. Personally I prefer to give money to beggars in the street.

If i won big why not but since I’m a small time gambler, i didn’t think of donating money since I also need money. We can help people on so many ways, and if you have a lot of resources then its good to give back and help many people. I do join Charitable works before and I’m loving it, i just hope to have more profit so I can also give money.

I am not saying that they were bad ones but it is really up to them if they want to donate or not it doesn't matter. Money will just come and go, it would be better if you win big just invest it already so that you will have something to gain in the future while not wasting it on the gambling game while entertaining yourself.

Of course. I believe any decent person should at the very least think about charity and donating, then even better people do the actual action of donating to charity. Although it might be of note that casinos and gambling sites would not dare remind it's customers of charity because for sure it would loose them customers.

A better question might be, what % of your profits would you be donating to charity, if you won big?

But in actual reality, many people forget charity when they actually have the money. Yes, they might give some part of their winnings to family, friends but charity is usually the last thing in their minds. I guess very few people are thinking of giving to charity when you talk about real life situations. Even gambling sites that pledge certain percentage to charity are not really doing what they promised.

I've seen others do it but never done it myself because I get too greedy when i'm in the mood to gamble I usually have a target amount and once that's reached I save it up until I could spend it on things I need. The thought of donating some profit never came to mind, maybe in the future I would do this instead of focusing on myself i'll try to switch it up by sending all the profits I get to a certain charity.

Never. I only ever made a rain (giveaway) to people on chat box with some of my gambling winning. I used other source if if i want to donate some for charity purpose

If I was ablle to win in a big lottery, I'll donate part of to charity too as sharing my blessings is my way of thanking God for letting me win on that particular game. I think it's normal for lottery winners to donate to charity speically if it's a multi million jackpot. Most of lottery winners who don't share to others and jusr spend their money for their wants doesn't lasts for long.

I also heard this by some gamblers in our province. But they do it in the church, like giving money on church via offering, it can also money or food.
Because they believe if you share your blessings (gambling profits would do) will help you to become successful or lucky in your gambling journey.

Haven’t I mentioned those points in my post?why not read the post first before quoting because it seems that you don’t have understand what you are quoting
Yeah there are many gamblers I also knew that doing he same mate,and some of them are just putting the money in envelop and just drop in the boxes then leave without any other words,though some wanted to be acknowledged from their donation so they are giving the money in front of many people

No, I never do that because I don't have a chance to win big money in gambling. Besides that, I don't want to try to donate the money from gambling because some people are not comfortable to receive the money from gambling. Even though they don't ask where the money comes, I feel that it is not right for me to donate the money.

But if I can win big money from gambling, I will donate some money to charity, but I don't tell them the source of the funds. I don't want them to reject the money because the money comes from gambling games.

One of my crypto friend who is not from my country do share like he is gambling only for the purpose of charitable cause as gambling is prohibited in his religion, I always wonder on his this kind of activities because he showed me many proofs of decent winning. If I remember correct, most of them with rare sportsbetting like dart. I guess God himself helps him to crack profits for the charitable cause as I also tried many times with sportsbetting but never won big.

That is a valid point. We cannot be sure what are their policies and how do treat money in general. In some cultures, karma is not following along with gold nor money. But, hiding the source of money must be a good thing to prevent unnecessary complications.

I'd been generous my whole life. When I have enough money and I can see someone direly in need then we should help. Be it from gambling profits or not. I didn't experienced winning a lottery so my donations are limited. It should be easier to donate gambling winnings to a charity since it is free money out of luck.

Such a good heart, But I am thinking that it is stated that gambling isn't allowed in his religion, but why is he still playing for the good of others and sacrificing his beliefs. He is your friend and I suggest you tell him to stop on what he is doing and just focus on other things like trading, Its far from gambling right but its the same way of earning money for him to donate.

Depends from how the winner take his money, you need to work properly with your winnings, even you choose not to donate to charity or
you keep everything inside your pocket, as long as you know how to look for better money management it will still prosper.

You need to have good investment plans or business plans before you take anything, donating can be done whatever you have enough funds.

I can do that but after I provide first for my family and my relatives after that I can give a portion to the charity as a means of thanking, the Lord, it's recommended but if the reward is huge that you can still provide for your family relative, charity begins at home of course.

If given a chance to win in lottery then of course I will donate some of the money to the charitable institution or church. Its a way to give thanks for the blessings that I received. But in reality its not easy to win in gambling especially if you're aiming for huge amount, I ofen lose than win.

Well if you really want to help you dont need to win in gambling to be able to lend some money because we can give an offering in our own little way, its enough and I think its already a big help for those who are in need.

If I win big I would do this! The problem is I only win small, but my loses are the big one hahaha. But yeah, If I win in lottery or some other games I would definitely donate in charity or I will give the money to the poor ones by myself. I like to share my winnings to my family even though it was just small, so if I win large, I would love to share it with others  :)

This is a good eye opener to those gambler that has big winnings but yet don’t bother to even give to the needed,but there’re some gamblers I knew who loves to help others even in small ways

Let’s hope that many will initiate from this thread because we’re lucky to have money just to gamble while others don’t even have a small food to put on their stomach

That's being a good samaritan and I appreciated that kind of attitude, even though in my part I will donate even a small amount to them that is a big help. Sharing and giving is a good practice, pledge to donate at least 5-10% of your gross income to charity programs is not a big loss for you.

Speaking of Charity program in a gambling local lottery, here in my country there is a lottery that has a charity program and there are a lot of people had been helped on this program and if I ever won the jackpot prize I won't hesitate my self to pledge even 10% from my total winnings. You can see it there, https://www.facebook.com/pcsoofficialsocialmedia/.

That's what I mean, gamblers are also human beings whose hearts can be touched when they see that there are poor people need help, and there is nothing wrong when donating with the result of gambling, but sometime people judging gambler as a bad person because it.

I will put myself as gambler whose spending many money in gambling this time to answer this.

If I win in gambling and I don't know where to spend my winnings then yeah I might donate some of it to a charity. Now do I spend many money in gambling and winning huge money on it? Obviously no so I don't think of giving my winnings to a charity. There are many rich people, kind-hearted people and gamblers there, maybe they can give some to the poor.

Yes, of course. It have crossed my mind already. However, I haven't won a huge amount yet that would allow me to share some to the needy. So far, I can only support my daily needs with what I gain from gambling sometimes. But when the time comes, I will give some to a charitable cause without telling them where it came from. Not all people have the same impression about gambling. Some may see it as a not good source of money. That's why, them knowing that I gave help wholeheartedly is enough information.

If I bet when I win the big jackpot I will donate 10% to charity and that doesn't matter to me because sharing with people requires it to be more beautiful, but I haven't won the Jackpot and only win every day with my daily fee. And I'm sure there will be generous people in this gambling.

This is more of a general question of what someone would like to donate or not. Gambling resulted money is yours to keep and you are free to do anything you want with it. If you are generous about donating to charitable organizations then do so.

Primedice and Stake are running the "Choose A Charity" campaign to allow their players to vote between similar organizations and the winner gets a 1000$ donation from the owners of PD/Stake.

Now you should also know that they can afford to be charitable because they make profits of much higher value every day.

I have already made countless of donations to charities and charitable activities and events and I care not where the money comes from. When I have the money, it becomes the same with the rest. They are all money to me. I do not categorize them, say, this certain amount I got from gambling winnings and a certain percentage of this will go to this and that, this amount comes from my salary and this certain portion from it will go to something else, and so on.

But if in case I won a very huge prize, for example, in the national lottery which is worth several millions, that's the time I will probably allot a certain percentage that goes to different charities.

Each and every gambler will have a big thinking to profit big out of gambling and make their life better. Once after that with the excess amount we need to gamble and help the people in need. This is the mentality of mine as well, but to the expectation nothing happens as planned with gambling. One in hundred gets to be lucky to make his life good and help others while majority of the gamblers end up with debt.

Although this thread was foolish to reply but yeah, once I made 240K DOGE from 5K DOGE on Bitsler and FreeDogecoin and donated 1/3rd of my winnings to child care near my home. Both BTC and DOGE used to worth much more at that time and amount was somewhat around $1500. But since then I developed into more hard gambler :D and never donated single penny again.

I also do this, only donate if I win big (win more than $ 1000).  I have donated to the stake.com charity program and 3 months ago I fed 100 orphans in an orphanage near my home.  I think that donating a small portion of the money won from gambling to people in need is a form of obligation and being greedy with the big money we get from gambling is bad.

If I were to donate, I would better give it directly to the needy and not on charities. Sometimes, there are corruptions on charity institutions and I don't want my money to be corrupted by those officials. Even if it's from gambling, it's still money and it should be used wisely.

Rare to see the gamblers have sense of the humanity and thinking a lot of people and i personally never thinking to donate my gambling of winning to the charity or to helping poor people because during gambling my bets results isn't so good but maybe if someday i can able to get lottery with huge of prize such as 1 million dollar or more then i will donate approximately 5% - 10% from my total of prize to the charity

I've done it once when I won good amount from a local lottery game long time ago when I was still in a college. I spent few millions IDR from the winning to buy food and drink then gave it away to many homeless. Frankly speaking I do not know if it was right or not because the money came from gambling which is against religion's rule but at least I was so happy because I could help some people although many people say it as dirty money.  

Donating or not, it's not about how big or small you want to donate. It's about youw willingness to donate some of your money or not, if you don't like it just don't do it. Judging from your said, if i were won huge money then i will donate some, it's mean you aren't willing to donate your money.

Yeah I've thought about it,  if I win a huge amount of money I will definitely donate some percentage of the money won,  although from the little being won I do give out to the needy ones but if I won a jackpot I will also take it to a charity organization.

Why not? Gambling profit is something that worth to take a little percentage from it. If i win big, usually i buy food and give it to some people. About sin or maybe no reward because i get money from gambling, i don't care about it. Because i know i am not too deep in religion and still play gambling until now.

Something to agree with, why not directly on needed help. That is right sometimes we can't trust organizations that having charity programs.
Because they are human and sometimes they will not do what exactly the amount donated, but if that is a little amount there's nothing we can do just to trust them. You can feed all street children with a small penny. Contributing a small amount to each other will make a big help and become a big fund that going to help. So, why not if that is free will to give.

If I have a chance to win a very big amount, why not? Sharing gives good karma in return. If that happens I will prioritise those who are really in need. Even during the previous bullrun I used to share some of my income to my family and relatives a simple act of generosity but I wish I can also extend and help other people too in the future.

No, not at the moment because I did not win the lottery yet.
If I win millions in lottery, I think I can always give some for the needy as what they said, "sharing is caring" and having millions is a lot of money for me to spend in my entire life while helping some people who are in need of help will surely give me some kind of happiness that money can't buy.

I promise, if I win a lottery, I will be donating  ;D ( will come back to this thread and show some proof..)

Money cant really buy happiness as we say.If we are into giving and these things do makes us happy then we would really be glad on sharing up some of our fortune but the question is that we are not all that fortunate thats why we dont have any choice but to stare them up when they do ask out some help.What can we do?
But if we do able to win millions or jackpots then its a sure thing that you would definitely do since you do have the passion on helping people.

For me, yes, I thought about donating some money to charity. When I'm betting in the lottery, and it has a very huge price, I usually think about it; especially, I want to build my grandfather's dreams that we build a monastery that will help the poor, etc.  But so far I'm not winning a vast amount of money, but when I win, I give some share to my family, friend and some ppl around me that I know that they need some help.  :)

You can donate whatever you want, that is the good samaritan that should exist and should people do for our fellow countrymen and also in the first place our relatives that in need help. If you are willing to give even if not come from gambling profit you can give. I like directly to give than to donate in the charity groups that we don't know if they will give all they had collected. Sometimes when I go outside and I saw street children I will give them a portion of food not money instead. Nevertheless, the gambling profit is good to donate there's nothing wrong about that.

I like what you said when you share good karma awaits. If my time of winning a big profit I like sharing it some to those in need. It's a good feeling when you share what you have. Were the same I remember those days when btc in the bull run I earned a profit that time and I share it with my family. Donating profits is not a problem so hopefully, we can win a big jackpot in the future and luck comes in our way.

If anyone is looking for a place to donate, I suggest checking the Bitcointalk charity thread in the services board. Here's the link: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5124375.0

I each win in gambling or other people with a large amount and care more about my family, after my family is fulfilled what they want, then I will donate it to others who are more in need because giving is very important, the results of our funds are obtained from gambling does not make you destitute if you donate to others, I like to share with others because it is our job. I hope that every time I play gambling, the jackpot always approaches.

When you won a big amount of money, you should share your blessings to the needy one, this is a must so there will be a continuation of the blessing, and of course, since you won a big amount and you are going to live differently now, you should give to those who have already have lesser in life, this is a way of thanking the Lord for the blessing because not many people have been given this kind of blessing.

you can donate every amount using cryptocurrency too, using this website https://www.givecrypto.org/ i think you donate any amount you want
so every time you won and you can spare a few bucks to donating

I hope you will remember this words when time comes that luck comes to your way and made you a rich person from gambling because it is easy to say but harder to do

Even if we don’t win big if our hearts are filled of goodness for sure we will help in every little thing like giving some foods for those who’s living in the streets and homeless ,small things but for them this is a treasure
I believe he is not looking for somewhere to donate but he is asking people to make donations

UNICEF started accepting crypto currencies for their donations too. Pretty sure gambling whales are donating a lot from their winnings. I experienced donating but only small amounts. Most people lose rather than win in casino houses that is why donations aren't that popular from gamblers.  

i just read that articles about that but it seems right now we can't do that because i already try it and the payment we can use just Credit card/Paypal
if they already implement this feature maybe many gamblers will donate a few of his winning?

I  choose to do the same, by winning huge amount of money extending help to those needy people near me will be my priority, I won't donate anything to charitable institutions since I can also manage to do the same, it much better to go directly and feed those people that you see around.
They need more attentions than those who are inside the charitable institution where funds has being raised.

Being practical and make things much worthy if given a chance to win jackpot especially lottery where the pot is really a very huge amount.  A lots of people will enjoy the shares that can be provided personally.

Gambling is one way to generate income. And he is no different from other types of earnings. Therefore, if from time to time you share your income for charitable purposes, then you will do the same if you win in slot machines. And vice versa, if you have never shared with others, then now you will not share in charity.

By most words i do able to read up into this thread where people or majority does consider on giving out a donation.Really?I dont think that people here will mind off
after hitting some jackpot and im rather sure that they would rather play those money once again in gambling or would just simply buy their wants or their wishlist.
Im not saying or this applied to all but its impossible that people will mind too much on donation since people are way too greedy in most aspect.

I think irrespective of which ever source of your income be if you wish to do some charity then you would be doing it though the amount could differ from each individual  and not necessarily it should be done from gambling money . You could do from overall money earned .

In my principle, contributing or helping others is mandatory. Don't see where the money comes from, as long as we have good intentions, then do it. I myself don't really care about what I get from gambling, whether it's dirty or not. As long as I win in gambling, I will do that. Donate and help others with the results of gambling.

Well, I oppose your statement that I bolded above. Not all money for me that donating is a good intention. Dirty money from any illegal activities is the same dirty money. But in generating profit from gambling is not dirty money, it is may consider as alternate source of income. Indeed, donating in charity is great to help to those poor people who badly need to have a financial assistance from those agency whos collecting donations.

The charity you are donating money don't even care where the money comes from as far as it meets their daily needs a gambling money is like a free money some people might believed that gambling money is a dirty money based on religion beliefs If the money is to be spent catering or improve the welfare of less privileged I will donate my gambled money wholeheartedly for that cause.

Every time I gamble, I consider the proceeds of such as 'dirty money' wherein I feel like I need to dispose of them quickly before anything bad happens to me. Although I have not donated my gambling proceeds to charity, I always treat my family and purchase the things that I want and need.


This is actually true. Contribution stems from the intent of an individual into giving/sharing their resources regardless from whatever source it came from. Helping one another is the core and foundation of being human and helping the country towards a progressive nation.

Then if you want to donate, don't do it on charities or else your money will not be given to the people who needed the purpose. It will only go to the pocket of the administration of that charity. Just give it directly to the people who you think needed your help and not on charities.

I haven’t made that much or that big winnings that I can say I can contribute to a charitable institution however, I also have that idea when I get lucky enough and win in a lottery, I will go back to this place where they take care of those senior citizens who were abandoned by their sons or daughters. Maybe a portion like 20% of my winnings is good enough to make those seniors smile and happy.

It is better to give that money to people who really needed. Or we can buy some food for people that we meet in the street. That will help them to eat something. Sometimes the money will be worth it for people than to donate to charities because people can use the money to buy their needs, and I am sure they will be happy to receive that money. But since we cannot always win in gambling, we can use the other money to donate so we can still help other people.

@Fredomago in the past I too made the mistake of giving out cash from my winnings to the charity owners, but later on I found out that it was never used for charitable causes. After realising my mistake I decided to either directly buy the goods and donate to charitable organisations, or find the person in need and give him/her cash personally.

Directly giving your donations to unfortunate people are much better especially if that is food or clothes. We dont need to rely with our earnings on gambling or wait to win huge. I think any amount will do, a simple gesture like treating the street children to eat some food even its a bread will make them happy and grateful.

But since the probability of winning in a lottery is one in several millions, I'm afraid you cannot see that 20% winnings painting smiles on the faces of those old gentlemen and ladies anytime soon.  :'(

But for us who feel for them, you know, whether lucky or not, winning or losing in gambling, for as long as we have some extra savings, however small they may be, can still contribute in one way or another to their happiness.

The reason why I don't always give directly to needy people is that my personal funds is mostly not enough to help them well. Sometimes you have to course them through an organization so that there is a bigger pool that can really create a much bigger impact.

Ofcourse but I haven't yet win a huge amount of money from gambling that I can say I could donate to charity but if I'll be getting the chance of winning then I could since there are more unfortunate people than me. I haven't though of not giving money from gambling games 'cause majority tend to think that it shows no respect towards the other people 'cause gambling games has a bad image. Sharing is caring and sharing is one of the most good thing I could offer to unfortunates.

Charity from the results of gambling ? Of course you can, but this is more about individual perception. Everyone has a good side where they can do good things in their lives. Giving money to the poor from the benefits of gambling is not something that is prohibited if we see the benefits. But that is also not recommended because the money earned comes from gambling. I don't think when I benefit from gambling, I will donate to charity. Gambling is synonymous with bad activities in people's lives, if you want to give charity then give them money and donations from good jobs. This is only perception, each person has their own perception.

why not ? small win or big win . i always do good  . i also think about the others and not just my self .  i started to that in a small way like giving tips on the chat ( on the gambling platform that im playing ) and whenever i cash out that winning of mine  . i then browse on some charities and other simillar institutions so that i can donate some bucks  . i think that my sins were reduced if i do this ritual of mine and not also that but i fee that im also blessed at most times  .

I so do not believe all the people in this thread who say they donate their gambling profits. All I can generally see online in casinos is two types of people. The ones who are always begging and asking for favors,,, or the ones who just keep quiet and sometimes send generous tips when they win.

And that is for me how it should be.

You want to donate or help charity, it is your business. And those who do that they are quiet about it.

I haven't won a huge amount in gambling but if I would have a chance to be lucky, I will take the opportunity to help less fortunate people. I don't think donating it to charities would be a good idea. I will choose to conduct my own program to help needy people in our community. There are still homeless and less fortunate people who don't get any support and help from charities and organizations. I just wish lucky players will do this simple act of kindness.

There are some gambling winners that donates to charity, here in my country betting on the lottery is a common thing to do maybe because the prize money is a huge amount for us, and some of the winners donate their 10-20% in the charity but it depends on the person who wins. Some casinos organize a fundraising event to donate for charity, and here in the Philippines when there is a burial the relatives of the dead organize gambling in the burial and the players donate some of their profits to the relatives which we called "tong" it's like gambling for a cause.

Here in our country, big casinos are sponsoring charitable institutions, so people will not complain or protest  bad thing about gambling in casinos, for individual, it is in his decision if he wants to donate part of his earnings to charity, but it is highly recommended, that he do so, maybe 10% is not that big and he can add more if he has a heart for the poor and the needy.

In our's as well, but the mode is quite different. Why? Since what they regulate on our country is a sweepstakes, and the main goal of it is to donate most of the funds to charities that feed children, help old people, and to help those who has cancer. But for my personal decision, it isn't too acceptable to donate my profit for charities as it is better to donate money, where our hard work is the subject for it to be implement.

In Finland the monopoly of gambling is on the government and they already donate from their profits to all kinds of charities, but winnings i am getting in here are tax free.
If i play online, my winnings will be highly taxable, so maybe if i won enough i could give some, as i have already given to charities but not from gambling winnings. Just from salaries.

No I am not,because I do it most of the time as every time I played and win 1/4 will go to the near orphanage in my place to donate at least some groceries and in Christmas season I prepare some toys for the children as prices fo the games
Yeah I may say that it wasn’t a big amount but I’m happy that I could bring smile even in short time and fed others for something periods.hope everyone of us will do the same whenever there’s a chances because we are not here just to profit but also to give a hands

I'm not updated that casinos are giving a portion of their profit to the charities but either way, it really is a good move coming from the casinos. If I'm as rich as some of the gamblers out there, I will give a portion of my profit to the people who are in need but in reality it is the reverse so I can't donate my profits to them :D

you dont need to be a rich man to do that . charities dont beg for big amounts and you can still help them with amount that you can afford to give  . its not that new to witness that casino donates but its not only casino that donates but almost any company or business industry are also doing that as well . churches is also one of the popular sources that they are giving  . nowadays online casinos are now trendy and guess what , some casinos that  i knew online do also doing the same thing  .

Basically helping others is a very noble thing. People who receive help also never get money from where, I have never heard of people who receive any assistance questioning where the money can be. So it's legitimate if someone contributes or helps others with the results of gambling.

I haven't experienced being generous to those people whose having poverty more than me. But if give a chance to become one of those luckiest person to be wealthy of having wins and acquire gambling profits, I'd love to do that with desires. My first priority is my parents and relatives who we're less fortunate for a long time. Maybe I would share my winning to them so they can start making business to earn passive income.

If ever I am lucky to win a big amount, I would prioritize my relatives first before I will help other people.
The most important factor here is the amount we will win in gambling, if that's too huge, then we can surely share more to other people, but honestly, I have never seen a gambler that are donating its profits to a charity or to people that are in need of help.

Yes, we need to make sure our relatives can eat for days, and then we can help others. But out of gambling or not, donating some money is a good thing that every people can do to help others. It's not about how much money we can give but how we can help them to solve their problems. No matter how big or small the money, as long as we can help them to get happy in their faces, that is good for them.

So far, I don't donate some money from gambling, and I choose using the other source to donate. But if I can win a lot of money, I will give a quarter or half of the total amount to them.

As much as I want to but I can't do it because I don't usually win a lot in gambling.
Sometimes i win but its for my personal satisfaction only or I will spend money within the family, donating is something I like to do if only I have an opportunity to donate from my winnings, which is less likely to happen, yes, we need to be realistic as a gambler.

As far as I understand, there is no need to wait for a big victory in the casino, you can start doing good deeds, donating small amounts. I see that many have a signature with payment for bitcoin. So everyone can already do good things.

If I ever win a big lottery and money that make me be rich of course I would donate them to a charity.
At that period of time my losses are bigger than my gains so all my profits are going to cover my losses.

i'm not a gambling pro, i just played little on the dice a long time ago and i wore my altcoins that no longer had any value, it was just for fun. but i can say i wouldn't make donations in case i Make a lot of money from gambling, because in gambling we have to be aware that one day we can lose everything we have. if the person has a stable income source then it is okay to donate

Donations can be made if you win something big,in my opinion only. But not everyone is the same. Everyone has a different mindset. I never thought about donating gambling profit to the Charity. Who knows Maybe many can!

Usually I rain for gambling participants and it is only for a pleasure in sharing. several times in the great kemengan people do often make donations. whether it is directly with the participants or to those who need clear rights.although gambling is often considered bad

I personally use online gambling websites and in those websites there are an option for rain i.e to distribute some amount of your money. I don't say it's a donation but I feel happy to make rain when I win something big. And sometimes I gift some of the profit to my fellow players, whom I know well or who have rewarded me earlier.

Honestly I would not do that even if my sportsbook have some kind of feature, I just like to personally donate my money to anyone I would like to help.
When you donate in a website, they are the ones who are facilitating only and you can't choose where that money will go, and most likely it will only be donated to the area where they are operating.

Yes donating isn’t a problem to people like you but not all gamblers think that way, some may think that it’s rather to keep them or even spend it again in gambling rather than donating them. I would also agree that in gambling you get more losses than winning so it also made it very difficult to get profits in gambling sometimes if you win big it is not even equal to all your profits, so I guess gamblers can’t donate a portion of it, perhaps it would be the owners of the gambling sites that can donate to charities because they are surely the ones who are very profitable.

Although gambling is indeed included in the prohibited actions I myself also made a donation to my victory. if I think it's just for fun. sometimes also giving a tip to other players with our big win would be a satisfaction too.especially on the gambling dice that I often use. there we are like community who sometimes give a tip

Yes you are right we should not wait for the large winning in order to start charity and good deeds everyone should take start from a small step and try to donate money to poor people even the amount is very very small, as sometimes that small amount makes a great difference for that poor, so do not wait for the money to start good deeds just start it.

During the early days of gambling if people win big we used to give airdrops for fun so that some could also try out their luck, i have not won a ton of money but still it is fun during those times but not anymore as the price keeps on increasing the fun part will decrease with time  ;D. I am not that generous to help the poor with the money i get from gambling because now a days i seldom gamble and if i win big and i find someone who deserve something then i might help them.

I am not that rich yet to help or donate into a charity my income but if I will win a really huge amount of money in gambling or lotter I will probably help those charities that are caring about the elders because I really appreciate that they help the elders who are already abandon by their family or don't have any family. In my country I've watch some news that the one who wins the grand lotto able to help those people ont their community and donate some of his winnings to the charity and I am amazed on what he do.

I always do that, and it's a good feeling if you do that, you can give to your fellow gambler but give more on people who are needy and really wants money, it create good vibes and make you feel good and but it  will also motivate, you to gamble more, I have this kind of friend who gamble hoping he could win big so he can donate to charities, bad alibis to gamble.

Hopefully we can still think of that if the time come that we will win.
Winning a huge amount in gambling is such a big blessing as normally people does not win easily, so sharing that blessing is always a good idea.

Of course that would not come to most of us as it's the reality that most of us are losing money in gambling but who knows we are one of the lucky people in gambling who can win a huge amount of money although we cannot do it consistently.

Lol tipping co gamblers is not the topic here because donations for the needed and not for addict gamblers that needs another money to bet and lose 😂
And what’s that you give donations when it’s for fun?what if you didn’t enjoy the game?then there’s no donations?kinda weird lol.
Why not just give and donate to the less fortunate and not for gamblers

I guess that his chance to win will not be too big because as we all know that playing gambling and get a win is not easy. Rather than to win big money, we only lose big money in gambling, so we cannot even donate to charities. We can say that the reason for us to gamble is that we want to donate some money to people who needed money, but we need to see the fact that it is hard to win in gambling. Maybe your friend needs a suggestion from you, so he doesn't use gambling for his reason to donate.

I've once win a lottery ticket and I used it to some investments and built a small store in which I can get some income in the store that I've built. I did not necessary donate to the charity some money but I do intent to give and donate to those people that affect by some natural disasters like typhoons and etc. I buy some clothes and some necessity needs for the people and donate it to those who are affecting by typhoons in our country. I help those people by the use of money that I gained from gambling.

I hold a little bit different opinion. Doing charity with the money earned through right ways is good but if someone deals in drugs and does illegal activities, then I think he should first try to help himself. First you hurt people, then you try to help them with the same money. However, gambling is a little bit different and a person can donate as long as he is not hurting his family. I am not passing any judgments at all.

Just do not think that you cannot donate money to any charity using gambling money, it is true that gambling is not a stable income but if you win big then you should not be too miser to make donations. And the other thing which you worried about that one day you will lose everything then listen, you do not need to use all your money in gambling so by doing this you will not lose everything.

Since I never lucky to won a lot of money through gambling even from lottery so I just thinking donation event is not worth to this place. The mindset (especially me) will be different from someone else who can make money through trading or investing. Because they will still have money (in the form of coin) when they are lose. But in gambling is not like that, when you lose at the gambling place then your money will be lose as well.

This cases will encourage the gambler to economize his money to be spend. Even, for those who have a perspective that gambling is a bad place and must be avoided by many people then I guess the gambler will be willing to help other people and it can be the people who get the money and they know that the money is donated by some gambler they will take it.

Real talk mate?😂 it’s easy for many to say but the truth when time comes they won’t even remember a single word from what they say here now
Though there are still people that sticks their words yet it’s more is who can’t so the ending is only few will follow their hearts in giving

I will not donate money from gambling for charity purposes because the money from gambling is in my opinion more suitable to be spent for fun or used to buy things that we want. if we have the intention to help the poor I suggest the money we donate must come from the results of the real work we do because that way we can share with others who need it with the money we make from the hard work we do, maybe that way will more useful.

I would not think there are many gamblers who would want to donate the gambling profits
They see it as they are already donating to the casino by paying to gamble and I think it is a different mindset then someone who is feeling charitable
Its like when you are leaving ghe grocery store, there is donation can for charity but you never see this type of ting at a casino

Big win usually I make a donation, though it is often said that it is hypocrisy, but it never hurts me to do that. because several times in addition to donations to disasters I also gave a giveaway to fellow gamblers. here I often gamble dice or often I give the name Rain.there is nothing wrong for a gambler if they make a donation

Well, i have never experienced donating in charities using my money in gambling because my winnings in gambling games like poker and baccarat is not that huge, that is why i have never tried donating money to it. But if i have been given a chance to earned a huge winning in playing gambling i could donate 30%-40 % of my winnings to charities as a gratitude.

I always collect all my earning, gambling if win, trading into 1 wallet. And sometime i do charity like order foods and give it to some people. I never think about anything else. Maybe for some religion, money from gambling profit is bad but as long i can help others i will do it.

It's hard job to maintain your profit in gambling... you might got +50mbtc today , donate it 10mbtc cash 20mbtc out and gamble again the rest of 20mbtc , lost your 20mbtc bankroll > re-deposit your previous 20mbtc profit busted all and you start thinking it's a mistake to donate the funds at the first place which it makes really bad to have such thoughts in your head. At least that's what I'm feeling .. gambling bring you more negativity aura than the positive one due its deep regret after losing.

Mixed feelings to do this especially if you win small amount of money only , things could be different if you win huge like a $3 lottery to win $300,000 .

I've done this a lot of times anyways.. so please don't get me wrong ;D

i believe that we are not discussing about if Bad or Good gambling money is,this is about donating or giving and the way you say it meaning you are humble enough to tell us of sharing foods for others and thats good of you

i don't usually give to others because i believe that there are right agency to donate and they will spread to the most needed,because giving in random people sometimes a mistake because we only let them live more in streets but if we give to charitable institutions maybe they can build houses for them

We should be generous when winning a large amount, especially when winning a lottery or a huge amount, it's not obligatory but something in our human kindness, tells us that we want to give to less, needy people and that is the right thing to do, it accumulates good karma and will convert to being lucky again.

I think that we win in sport betting or in roulette and this kind of games the winning amount is not an amount that we can split with others.However if someone wins the lottery or a million dollar jackpot in a slot machine in this case is different,I think anyone lucky enough should donate a considerable amount to charity causes in the world.

Yes, the lottery might give players a big win. Big wins or jackpots will easily be shared with others in need. If you only bet for fun, you might not be able to share the results with others, because even if you dont win much. There are enough things we can do with lots of money, like charity. But in my opinion, to be able to do charity we dont have to wait for the win of gambling, but if we get money from other jobs we can still do charity.

Its not mandatory since this is a humanitarian in kind or voluntary act so it will depend on a certain individual if hes kind enough.
Even if you do won some amounts on roullette or sports bet you can still donate if you wanted to even if it isnt really as big compared
if you do win on lotteries but at least you do still had done the same thing because donation doesnt really matter if its big or small because
if your motive is to help on first then it cant really be changed at all.

It'll depend on how much I'll win. If I'll win really big, like the lottery you mentioned, I wouldn't LOL. Rather than donate it to existing charities I might as well make my own non-profit  ;D, preferably one that focuses on livelihood programs.

Having my own charity also meant I can dump money there from businesses I'll found using the prize money. Many large corporations have their own charities for example. Provides good PR as well.

I love the idea because as what Bible says “Don’t give them Fish but teach them how to fish” giving money or foods to less fortunate is really good but you are not really helping them because after you go they will starve still but if you give them livelihood then surely they will have food on daily living

I will put that in mind so when time comes that I am the lucky one?for sure I will do this and may serve many

Hinestly yeas herein my country the man win into lottery(lotto own government gambling operated) by the way I notice that in the news television the man win a million of money from their local currency some of the money they donate into the charity and some are derictly giving the money from their neighbors. The am is also came from the poor family. I think he decides to help people same situation before in their life.

i have never won a big amount in gambling, thought it depends on what you mean by big amount though. In my case i have never won 2 and above bitcoin at a stretch, just closer to it.
Going back to your question, if i can remember well, i did gave out a some of my winning to a friend who needed help then.
Not the whole wining though but just a split. Then, we were in school and was very broke, long time ago though.

Its not a new idea already. In our country there is Philippine charity sweepstakes office(PCSO) where part o the winnings are also distributed to disabled persons and those who needs medical assistance. If you have more than enough and are generous to people who needs help, its not a crime to help. Money earned from gambling aren't blood money, you can donate for a cause. I will likely to do it if I just have enough. Unfortunately I don't have.

Pretty ridiculous statement to be honest. Why would anybody risk X amount in order to win X + Y, then donate Y to charity?

You forget, the great majority of gamblers are looking to make a profit. Do you think somebody risking their hard-earned money against the house edge is likely to give away their winnings? Be realistic.

Sure, I can understand lottery winners who risked small to win big potentially donating to charity, but unless you're in that scenario, I'm sure donations are the last thing on the menu.

Helping others is generosity and it is not forced. So there is nothing wrong if a gambler donates to help others from the gambling winnings. Because they believe, as long as you are good, good will come too. Maybe this principle is what is brought, great hope always wins in gambling.

If the amount is really big then yes one can easily donate a certain percentage of it as a charity . But overall if I see generally people if calculate would on be losing side of overall profit and loss is calculated so would not be able to do any charity .

Why does it have to be tied to gambling profits? If you're going to donate to charity, just donate to charity, it's very simple.

Doing something good should not be contingent on getting lucky, that's just moronic.

That's a whole different situation and also one in million wins jackpot or insanely high amount of money from casino. This way I think you really have to donate too cause you were also donated at some point, usually those winners are average people and they really donate some money from it but on another ha.d gambling profits are very low and even those profits are mostly returned to casino back because of gambling again in future. Also if you really want to donate, do it directly without any promises set to yourself.

Same thoughts,if donating is your thing then it shouldn't really be needed for it to be with gambling profits.
You can donate if you do have your own money from your pocket.I agree on the points above when it comes to
realistic matter because no gambler will just simply give out their profits since they do know that what they have risk
in able to obtain it and giving it out easily sounds not too common.

Yes, that is nothing wrong, but some charities don't want to accept the donation when the money comes from gambling, and they will say that it is not good for them. Perhaps, we can say that the money comes from the other sources and doesn't tell that it is from gambling so that a person can still donate his win money. I think that will depend on us, and if we still want to donate the win money to charities, we can give to other charity institutes which don't think about where the money comes.

Mostly, lottery winners are doing the same thing, but in comparison to games like mentioned, there are few who considers donating profits to a charity or foundation. But all these relies on the person itself. there are person that considers utilitarian winning compared to just winning for himself and become luxurious.

It completely depends upon the person characteristic because there is no guarantee whether he will the jackpot. Before Jackpot, many people wish to donate after winning the jackpot, but once they won, they will forget about their promises and which I have experienced this from many of my friends.

If I have so, then why not? No, I don't think promises are made just to be broken and yet, I don't say any promises to anyone but only if I can.
It may be we could say that some of jackpot winners have their own priorities and giving something (few bucks) to unfortunate people aren't their first priority or they have also family needs to feed which it needs more attention than to give the others. And I think there is no bad with that.

Why not? There is no rule that the money from gambling is not allowed to donate right? As long as you really love what you are doing and really wants to give to the charity then there is no exeptions. Giving is the best way to show how good you really are as a person without any other getting in return. Donating the gambling profits is also good to give especially if you have won huge amount of money like millions.

I am pretty sure majority of the gambler who wins big amount in gambling does not donate some of their money.
Winning in gambling is not easy, we are risk takers so we are also rewarded with bigger reward if we are lucky, so like you said, it really depends.
Most of us who post in this thread are gamblers and we understand gambling, I suggest that OP will create a poll so we can also see what the people will think about donating money when they win.

Adding a poll won't change anything since the result can be manipulated, so there is no need to do that. What people do about their money has nothing to do with us, whatever they will use their winning for sober, investment, donate, spend or anything else.

Donated or not, it won't give any effect with your gambling result.

It is always because it is one of my beliefs that when we help others, we will be smoothed out in business and sustenance in the future. And that in my opinion is also an obligation for our fellow human beings to help each other help those who are in need especially if we are already capable materially, so it is not a big problem to donate a few percent of the profit we get.

Just remember the government will first take a big chunk of your jackpot winnings as a tax. The tax can be over 25% depending where you live. After that you can to do what you want with your money. And none of that 25% will be donated for charity.

You had lucky friend"s" who were winning the jackpot? I have only seen people win the big multipliers on dice sites and then give out some funds to the chat and rain as an act of generosity. Donating money from the jackpot win is a long shot because there are two things to be considered here:

1. A person who has been playing for some time and yearns for the jackpot has the only thought of winning it clouding their mind. Probably they are only thinking of getting the money and stopping the play forever. Probably of pay of all dues and so on.

2. A person becomes charitable only when they have basic earnings already set and confirmed. For a gambler this is often shaky.

So instead of the players being charitable to organizations you can trust the casino owners to give out a weekly donation to such organizations.This is what Primedice and Stake are doing.

In my country, lottery winning is free of tax and I think that is the justifiable since lottery business is very profitable.
True they give millions to the lucky winners but they are earning billions in a monthly basis, so overall they are still in profit and there's no reason they still have to deduct tax from the wining, that's not attractive to lottery bettors where they know their chance of winning is very slim.

In the Philippines, they will deduct 20% of your lottery winnings if it is above Php10,000.00. The current administration is doing that as to get more funds for charity and the infrastructure projects of the current administration. It is only now that the tax on lottery winnings take effect.

That's a big cut, why can't they just give the full winning to the people? Winning lottery is very hard and the government are making a lot of money from the funds they collected,.. so you are saying, if one person won a lottery in the amount of 100 million, he needs to pay 20 million as tax, that's too much, sorry but I feel like the government are robbing the lucky winner.

You got it right bro, 20% is the tax and i would give them 30% if i win the lottery with 100 million prize lol.

10 years ago when lottery in the Philippines is tax free but 100% corrupted, my colleague at work won a jackpot with a substantial amount and he said that it's not tax free as the officer of the lottery agency got some amount forcibly he said for funding of charitable institution. Who is he to say no, but he didn't know if that money he gave really go to the institution intended. That's more than a tax.   

Right, it actually depends with the gambler if they wanted to donate or what, but I doubt it because most of the time gamblers don’t win big and when they win a decent amount then the first thought would be how is he gonna increase it, should he gamble it again or invest it on some other investments or some would even think of having a vacation with family some place else.

Wow how good of you to do that, I would also agree, I think it is good to you know share a portion of your earnings to those who are in need like share your blessings not to really brag of what you’ve achieved or wgat but just to atleast a form of giving back that you are blessed with something.

You have done your best for now and always maintain it if you benefit from gambling (it's not a necessity). I want to share my experience too, that I also do that. Because in my opinion it is a noble behavior and I use the proceeds in gambling to contribute.

Is that considered washing a dirty money to be clean. They say that "gambling money is dirty money" so if it is donated to charity they will be cleaned now  ;D.

Good job bro for doing such a nice act, in my country there are a lot of institution that needs funding and i hope someday that i would do the same as you.

It depends on where you are living mate,there a many countries that prohibiting gambling it means they are banning this area so the debate will never stop since if one of you live in place where gambling is legal and others live in places where gambling is legal?

And let’s not value religion in this topic because it’s about our hearts desires to help others either the money is good .org bad but the important thing is our motive and that is a heart full truth

Yes, that has the same value, but some people will not think like that. They consider that money from gambling is not from work, but people rely on luck in playing gambling. When they say like that, we cannot do anything except don't give the money to them but we can still give the money to people who really need or we can buy some food to people who need too.

It's difficult if it's related to religion because some people are strict with religion, and they don't want to interact with something that forbidden by their religion.

If you only see the joke from what bisdak says then you may find that he was sarcastic on that matter i will be saying this directly because i can see.the reactions

Catholic belief that Gambling is a bad doings but yet they are accepting donation from gamblers  i am not saying this to be blamed but this is reality

And about the donation? I am.willing to donate half if i come to win jackpot from lottery

I analogize gambling money as a hot asset, not a dirty asset, several times I make a profit, always losing half more than nominal profit. This is because of my thinking to continue to double the nominal without limits. When I decided to divide half of it to donate to those in need, it worked very well to stop the desire and greed to be more controlled.

It is not the lottery that is deducting the tax, it is the government and the country you live in that deduct the tax.
Taxes in the US are huge. According to a Forbes article they can go as high as 37%.

This is no doubt the best thing when you keep feelings for poor and needy people the same you have for yourself. Don’t worry about the situation but try to win and earn so that you will be able to help needy and poor, its a spirit to have guts helping other that's why better earn and help those who need your support and help to live to try to make a donation for trustworthy sites.

That's a good way for you because not all gamblers will donate their profits and I have seen many cases like this, even those who don't donate the huge profits they get from gambling but they still have good control not to be greedy. So in this case each player will indeed have his own way to control greed and whether or not to donate it depends on someone's personal to do it.

Exactly mate,it doesn’t matter where’s the money came from and from how we accumulated this but the important thing is our willingness to donate heartedly

Who cares actually?its our money and we can donate it,the problem is many are complaining and putting stupid comments but the truth is they don’t even care to donate but only to criticize people who has a heart to help

I have always thought of donating a part of it if I win that huge or my imaginary prize. Though I used to bet for the sake of buying something I necessarily need. Out of fun I somehow think though but sometimes I myself feel ashame at some point because I used to think that donating money out of gambling is a dirty money. But out of call pity because this anxiety of mine that urge me to donate specially to those who badly need dragged me time after time.

That is true. When a gambler starts feeling their responsibility, definitely they will gamble consciously so that they could stop their gambling at their wish. Emotions cannot control a gambler who is gambling responsibly. You may not be necessarily having a responsibility for donating but your responsibility could be related to your family or your own health and wealth related too. That will work in a way so that you could gamble profitably or at least you may not lose big.

That is the wish of every gambler but fortunately or unfortunately gambling never let to fulfill our desires. When you are planning up to win big so that it could donate then you will never end up your gambling with profits. You are just planning up to make big profits out of gambling and donating from that is just a secondary thing. In my experience, that had never worked for me too.

I have read a lot of the responses in this thread and I think the best way to donate is to fool ourselves into allocating a certain monthly budget from our wages to gambling and donate even $1 to a charity or cause. This is of course only if you really have the urge to gamble as a method of entertaining yourself. Think about it like paying a ticket to the cinema( a few of them) and then after you got entertained and you still got some bucks left do a good in this world and plant a tree or help a sick person have an operation, etc. It's also good for the soul no matter how you got that money through gambling or from your wage or any other legal activity you've done.

The conscience inside you that dictating that you are still doing good even the money that you used for donations came from gambling profits. Something that you arguing with your own-selves, taking the opportunities to help since you have spare money out from your winnings, sometimes
it's easier to let go even huge amount if the money came from a luck base gambling as your mentality that sharing will bring you another blessings.

Don't expect for blessings or any kind of return when you do donate.Do it with all of your heart without expecting anything and that's the true essence of donation.

I do see some people who do make donation because they are hoping for something in return.We might be different on what we do believe but
good karma do really comes after to those who do like to help the poor or to those who are in need.

It is important what a person is from inside and money being donated will help the needy people. However, if a gambler wants to help someone by money he has won, I would suggest to start from his own home. It would be much better to help some other gambler in debts and financially ruined condition rather than going out for others. Used that money in treatment of some addicts and save their lives.

That’s why I always laugh if someone is posting about criticizing others when they are saying that playing or gambling is a way of fun and why need to waste money if we are just looking for fun

Just like entering a carnival or like you mentioned cinema that you need ticket to enjoy the show or the rides gambling is way the same because you are spending money to have fun and there’s a chance that you might win but in cinema or carnival?whats the promise profit?

It doesnt matter actually on where those money came from and as long its being donated and really had that good motive
then theres nothing wrong with that.Gambling profits being donated its up to you either you would get it from your salary or just
focusing with gambling profits and as said above that if you do like donating then you wouldnt matter on where would be
the sources of those funds that will be given.

allocating certain amount for gambling is not foolishness but discipline i think,and for me this is one good way of helping our self not to turn addict because we can control our emotions from betting wildly with no specific amounts.
and i have known gamblers who's doing such same as mine and i can tell you that it is effective because i can be contented even only winning 100$ because i knew my capital is also smaller.but also indeed that donating 1$ is better than not donating at all

LOL! Why would I do such thing if you do know that those money would be helped out for those gambling addicts would still end up on using it to gamble once again?
You cant be sure if they would use it  for their such changes.What if that amount will be spent again ? So this wont really be that an ideal option for you to take.
Better to donate it somewhere where you do see that it need the most like charities.

Fair enough. Maybe that was not the right way I express my thoughts and yes discipline is a much better word for it. However the addictive gamblers don't stand a chance at being disciplined - that's why they have the addiction - because they can control themselves and their emotions, but I believe donating for a good cause may wake up something better in them that might change their perception of gambling.

Not just thought, I am already walking the talk.  Once, I won a jackpot in dice totalling to 1 BTC (not that huge in a developed country but it is in my country)  I donated 20% of my winnings to a religious group to supplement their activities and  used the 10% in grocery package and gave it to those who are in need in my community.  The feeling of fulfillement is so addicting that I won't hesitate to do it again if ever luck smile at me again

Absolutely. It's better to give silently without saying to anyone though. Luck if I believe in it comes randomly. Unless I really need the winning amount for something urgent, I do give and encourage others as well to give some part of it towards a cause. It's better than to just deposit the money again to win more and bust it. A child in NGO going to bed full without being hungry is priceless and all worth for the win.

I had been in touch with this line and yes that is true. Helping silently is a great achievement in your life. Those street children, once you give them something they will not forget you for the rest of their life. I will encourage others to this, giving to others will pay you also good health and life. I think a small amount that you give from your winning is not a big loss for you.

Yep! After all, we win to get satisfaction. But gambling never gives us satisfaction. After win, greed just increases. But when we help with the winnings for a good cause, it gives us that ultimate happiness and satisfaction. And that happiness can even override the grief of losing in gambling in next time.

This is really an amazing way to help those people who are in need of money. There are so many people who are not able to get proper treatments because they have no money so we can donate some part of our profit for them and allow the hospitals to help them out as well there are so many charities who takes donation and distribute the amount to needy and poor we can send our profit to them so they can use.

That is very good approach on this. Before helping others, help your own, your family or close relatives that are in need. Because more than likely, they were suffering from your losses before that big hit. Why not give them the right share. Charity organizations have a lot of donators. And to be honest, I will help my own family or relatives first before giving to unknown individuals.

If our goal is to help someone in need then even if i loss i would still donate some of my money or won't gamble and directly donate to the charity i choose. You are right, the feeling of satisfaction is different when you know that you have change someone's life in your own little way. Let's not wait until we win in gambling before donating to charity.

Have never win big to really donate some, but why not. If I win a lottery one day, I would first like to get my life on track, give some to my parents , help my brother with his studies and then if i am left with any, I wont mind donating it for a charitable cause. Good deeds never hurts and also gets back your good karma !

From my personal experience and understanding, I have seen people get into gambling when they are in sheer need of money and facing a financial crunch or simply want to earn more to fulfill their desires. I don't really think anyone will donate their winnings and rather spend on family/Friends if not completely on themselves. Nevertheless, donating would never hurt but I personally would help the poor get a job rather than just giving him easy money.

To think, to contribute a little profit from gambling to the poor, no.

do often, maybe almost every week, feed 5 to 10 poor people, like beggars, homeless people and also in the form of donations etc.

The income we get is not 100% ours, there are other people's rights in it.

Only if someone wins big can actually think about donating it or else generally people calculate that out of the past losses which they incur and the amount if they have won now still how much losses they need to recover or have they become a positive balance sheet and decide accordingly.

I have not donated any gambling wins till now as i have never got my hands ona huge amount but i take inspiration from my uncle who has been in and around gambling once he got retired. He plays for the fun of it, as he likes the game but never for the money. I have seen him donating the wins to charity, orphanage and sometimes just help some random person out of nowhere. If i would have my responsibilites sorted and a healthy bank balance, I would certainly prefer to donate sometimes. 

Yeah, that is what we need to do if we can win a lottery and hit the jackpot. We should use that money for the closest person in our family and then we can give the money to other people who needed. I agree that if we do a good thing, it will be back to us for a good thing too so that it will help our life indirectly. Donating some money to charities will give you a good thing in the future, so you can hope that what you give will back to you in the future.

With the amount of money I have spent whiles gambling and haven't won any major jackpot,  I am not going to be donating anything to any charitable cause unless I have made a huge profits and to my mind most people view money from gambling as dirty so I doubt any charity will be thrilled to have them.

Well I think its not necessary to open up where your donation came from, what important is you help this charity. I never had huge donation in charity as I dont win huge as well but if you really want to help others there's a will to do it. We dont need huge amount, we can share what we can afford.

I understand you're perspective. Yes, that's a good reason why you will not donate some money if you win. All gamblers spent their money on gambling, and if you win, you must still calculate if you genuinely earn or just return your investment / the money that you spend.  When we are playing, some ppl judge us, especially when we lose, but when we win that ppl want to grant some money that we earned. :)

Donating money is solely based on your will only, actually if you feel not giving money, you can always do it because its all yours.
Winning in a lottery you will not receive the full amount as most countries charge tax on the lottery winning and I believe one of the purpose of the government own lottery is to provide the needs of the charity through donation and actually even if you don't win, by just buying ticket, you are already making donations, so there is no sense to donate at all if you agree with my explanation.

Will them knows where did the money come from? In case you have just won so huge amount of money then you decided to donate it into charity, will you tell them or will you tell other people that the money come from gambling wins? Gambling money is better than money that comes from other criminal activity such as robbing a bank, so there is no need to worry if you want to donate your winning from gambling into a charity.
I believe they wont ask you where the money comes from as well, so just donate as you wish.

I do not blame the principle that you apply, it is your right. But for me when I want to contribute from the results of playing gambling, it doesn't have to win big or small. As long as you intend to do good, then do it.

lol even the church are accepting money as donation from gambling company and from lottery profit from some government so how come that charitable institutions will be thrilled to have them?
Exactly what I was thinking,because if we need to win big first then it’s surely there’s no chance that we can donate because we are always in losing or if we win only smaller amount that’s why even if small part it’s a big help to be as donation

I would suggest you to get yourself out of this concept of making money from gambling because there is no truth in it. You can never ever earn big amounts from this games and most of the time, output is loss. Moreover, the wins are never huge  in amount but small in number. So the best is to not fill one’s head with stupid ideas like making money from gambling, then donating it and go to heaven.

This is something new where i dont see any reason for them to refuse out on where those money came from as long its being donated by somebody
then it wont matter on what are the sources of those funds and the thing they do matter the most is on how they would use those funds given.
Helping out the needy does really give out some good feeling and it doesnt really need fro you to win big for you to be able to donate because any small amounts
would do.

Most people are not considering gambling money as dirty, unless it is not sanctioned by government laws. People from the caves can call it dirty money whatever they like. And when donating money you don't have to tell them that it came from gambling. Please make some sense.   

So you have to win big in order to "feel" like donating to a charitable cause? It is totally up to the people. Though never heard from anyone donating their profits to a charity. but I do like to share some of my wins online with other users playing. I have also seen people being generous enough to tip other users when they win something good.
But then there are also people who get really excited when they win, give some away and then loses rest of the winnings trying to win more ::).

That's true, most gamblers think that they can win more if they won so much until now. That's what we call GREED, but a disciplined gambler who has a monthly bankroll set for gambling can play how much he wants because after all it is for his entertainment not to make money..

Even if they lose their stake after donating, they will still feel good because they've donated that money instead of losing it ;)

This is a cycle every gambler goes through, win a big amount then shower some rain in the chat and then gamble more and loose the rest and then invest some more and repeat the same process again and again . Everyone gamble to have some fun and to make some money if it is your lucky day but donation means showering in the chat for majority :D.

In some sort of a point there's people or gamblers who do this kind of things,when they win good amount they distributes portion of those winnings inside the chat and let those people inside enjoy their share, then after that when suddenly happened and loses their money they will deposit again and try to repeat the same thing. It's not new inside the gambling house and it's enjoyable though most of the time you lose more than you win.

You are right. How showering to fellow gamblers could be a donation? I mean a donation should be given for the needy people but everyone in this world are having some need but only for the people who are unable to lead a regular life without proper facilities deserve the donations and definitely not just gambler who always need more money to continue their gambling.

That is the point of donating. You will get some soothing satisfaction which could never be achieved from any other activities. This world is still here how it should be just because of some people who are caring others. The donations must be one of the thing what they are doing often.

Personally I will not donate with the money won by gambling, making a donation with the winnings of gambling is not useful. there is one belief in my area that believes that feeding other people with dirty money will only make the recipient unlucky, and that myth continues to grow until now.

same here . itll only be dirty or not depending on ones view  . for us , we can freely donate our winnings on gambling but for others if they think thats a sin to do then why not use other form of medium that is not being used in gambling before  but still , donating something whatever source it came from is a hell more better than not giving anything especially on the poor or from the people that needed help the most . and besides will they ever question it ? im pretty sure they wont  .  

Well some people justify their gambling by saying they're going to donate their winnings to charity. I mean, there's nothing wrong with that and some may even consider it noble. Though for those gamblers that put in huge amount of money, you'd think that it'll be more productive if they just donate directly to charity right? Huge amounts of money are lost constantly in casinos and online gambling sites. Imagine if those went to institutions that help the needy. Well, it's not our money anyways.

useful or not it depends because indeed some religions forbid it. but outside of that religion, maybe people have different views, no matter where the money comes from because helping a lot of people who really need it will make them happy because there is still concern among humans.

Since I did not ever win huge money in gambling I never thought about it right now giving to Charity but I might consider it if this time comes and it finally favors on me I will definitely give some percentage of my winning to any institution that I can see badly needed help, I know some people considers gambling is a sin thats why, this time its our chance to be a good Samaritan and help others. 

I despite having a big loss from gambling when it was able to win big. will certainly make a donation and also giveaway to participants. this is done as pleasure and also self-satisfaction. not because of anything else or hypocrisy. maybe if people think that the money from gambling is dirty money, but we make a donation for self-satisfaction or a promise when a big win. no matter whether this is wrong or not

So you think gambling profits are dirty?  Of course, each person has his own opinion on gambling and on the moral aspects of this sphere of entertainment, but in many religions it is said that God reaches out to those in need with the help of various possibilities, from where this help may not be expected.  Do not you think that gambling can be exactly the method by which higher powers can help for charity?

A lot of people think that if they win big then they will donate their profit to any charity institution but donation is something that can be given anytime from any money either it is from gambling or any other money, you are absolutely right everybody donate their money for getting satisfaction of their hearts and in turn satisfaction brings happiness in life, we should not hesitate to donate.

It's true that we should be able to donate every day without having to win big gambles. but here the context of the discussion is about donations and gambling. when it is possible to think negatively about a donation that comes from gambling, but I did not think about it. the good intentions that we do are to help. the people we make our own donations is it possible to ask "Is this money from gambling?" It is very ridiculous when they ask it

I heard news from someone who works in the government. He says that some illegal gambling in the hidden place was donating some big amount of money to the charities. That money was detected from one of the owner's bank accounts because the owner was a famous people in here. When that person caught, he was telling that it is normal if he did that because in the other secret gambling places were also did that. The charities don't have a problem with that because they thought that is for redemption for their sin.

From that, we know that some illegal activities still do this. They think that life needs to be balanced between positive and negative. He does the illegal activity, but he is also donating some revenue to the charities or people who need money.

I think you're right even the intention is good many people thinks that money came from gambling is not good well we cant blame them we have different views and opinions so i guess in case a is a religious charity, then they are sensitive when in comes to where the money came from so i think they wouldn't accept the donation,

This thought will never even pop up out of nowhere in the minds of those who are winning big in gambling, because of their enormous amount of losses, all they think when they win is to save that profits and celebrate for a while then return to gambling again to test their luck if they could make the possibility of winning big again. Bless to those who are donating it without hesitations in mind even though they don't have that much.

Unless I’m a gambling virtuoso who earns millions a month then no, I wouldn’t donate my whole earnings. I might donate a couple hundred dollars to the needy but let’s be real here, gambling profits would likely go into booze, leisure things or even back to the gambling house again, but never directed to charitable institutions and the likes. Sure there are gambling events that donate most of the earnings on charities but for the laymen, the common degenerate gamblers, this wouldn’t happen.

Donating for the good is not visible from the nominal to be donated because large or small donations mean a lot to them.
and in my opinion, contributing from the outcome of gambling is a good and nobler thing compared to the rich or those who have real and legitimate income but do not do good deeds or contribute to those who need it, and that action will produce good things When you bet again and there is a chance you will win, and doing good must be based on intention not because of where the donation came from.

Very happy what you said. But sometimes I get confused, Why do people have so many problems with the results obtained, compared to our actions. Even though everyone who wants to do good, even if it is the result of gambling or other things that are not allowed. But their goals are actually good, even though this is not a problem.

There were even people who do really love to donate by any means.Just like on what we do see on some movies that they do
even commit illegal stuff but their motive is to donate into those charities or just simply like to help people who are in need.
Just like robinhood casual stuff style of helping but not literally the same but the motive i was mentioning. Gambling profits being donated
doesnt really mean bad at all.

^ There are gamblers who love to donate even do not have solicitation that asking donation, they heartily given without hesitation.
I dunno if other's do this but in my side, I had been donated in even did not come from the winning in gambling. Even twice a week that directly gives to the street children or those people that needed help when it comes to financial support. Giving donation is not necessary if that is come from gambling or in your own pocket, you can give any time even though you did not get any profit in gambling.

Only the rich gamblers are doing this kind of thing. Donating their profits to those in need.

For sure, most of the gamblers who are gambling online or offline are either the average people or poor (greedy) people and they don't have the power to donate their profits to those in need because they really need it. Most of the gambling profits are either spent for food, pleasure or putting it into gambling again.

In fact we really appreciate the people who do that. Not most people when playing gambling they think of others, such as donating to charity. Because usually, when it's cool to play gambling, they continue to play and play without thinking about the good things.

Although I do not donate the proceeds I earn in gambling to charity, I always make it a point that I treat my family members or buy them something unexpectedly. Like what I have mentioned before, all the income that I earn from gambling, I consider them as something that should be quickly disposed as they might be a bad omen if I keep them long.

In all honesty, it is actually a good practice if people were to use their winnings in buying something that would benefit others than just gambling it again in the casino.

Any decent person should always have charity and donations on their mind, especially when you are comfortable enough with money that you can afford to go to a casino and risk losing some. I feel like people in casinos, or in big online bitcoin/cryptocurrency gambling websites, are in the best position to donate to charity because they are already almost accepting loss when they gamble, it's like they enjoy losing money, if not the risk of it.

Instead of losing money to online casinos, crypto gamblers may find more fulfilment in losing money to charity.

Only if I donate the deficit  ;D ;D ;D

I only gamble for fun, and even if I win sometimes, I have to admit that if I put in a scale, I lost more money than I win, like I said it's just a hobby like playing videogames for example

If I win a big amount, for sure I would donate for a good cause, no doubt

We do talk here about presumptions then you should answer if you would donate or not. Of course gambling is really destined for you to lose.
Donating for those who need is a different matter because neither those amounts would be get from gambling or not if you do like to donate
then its your thing because there were people that doesn't care if they won or not they wouldn't still make some donations.

Aw, that's so nice. I also do that sometimes especially when I win. Just giving our family members something that are useful  can also mean a lot to them provided that they wouldn't mind were the money came from. ;D

I remember my father with this. He gave me a present (smartphone) for my graduation just this year. I didn't know were the money came from. I just thought it was from his salary. But my mother told me that my father won in the lottery that's why he was able to give me such. I actually find it sweet for him to do that. After all, it's the thought that counts.


This is so right. Whether it's in a charity or directly given to people, it's always good to give help to those who need it. Remember, it's better to give than to receive. :)

Good for you guys. Gift giving in any kind of form is a good attitude to practice, like what the old saying says: sharing is caring :D.

Anyway, I don't think it's a bad omen to keep money from gambling activities too long. I mean, it was considered a product of your hardwork and luck so technically speaking it was a blessing. If you suddenly spend your gambling earnings, does it also mean that you are not conforming to a good management of money? What do you think? Well, we have different perspectives in life so be it :).

I think if we are donating some money to charity, we can get satisfaction because of helping other people. It's not about the money, but it's a feeling to share something with them so they can feel happiness like what we feel.

I am sure that many gamblers who still donate to other people no matter if they use the win money or the additional money. When we can get satisfaction at one time, we will want to share more at another time. So when we can win from gambling, we will donate some or half of the win money to share happiness.

Well, It always feels good when you help someone when you have more than enough. There are countries that practiced this kind of generosity, It's like a part of their of culture and my country is amongst them.
Winning the lottery is the closest scenario I can think of when receiving huge winning profit, just like what the OP stated on his post. So, winning the lottery will be the best time to donate in charities as well.

Not everyone who is donating is not rich and not every rich person is donating so this thong donating to poor doesn't only attached with the financial status of a person so thinking about donating when someone won lottery is highly depends on the person who winning it.

If I won a lottery then I might consider helping others but I am not going to spend a part as charity thing.

I'm kind of agnostic, but I have seen this philosophy is true that when you give to the needy, it comes back to you and sometimes more. When you help, you kind of gain confidence about any work you doing and can earn more. Saving up money is of no use, we have a limited life.

I have always thought of it but it takes only a huge win to be able to do that. Imagine when your lose and lose streak is more than your winning, you would not think of donation first but rather keep high hope to win more so that you can donate.


Wow. You won close to 2 BTC and you said it's a small amount.
Well, I don't know the amount you staked or what year you won it but at this current price of bitcoin, it's a lot of money in my country.

If you really have the heart of helping others,you will not look for big wins before donating because we don’t talk about how much here but only a though of giving others and it’s not a big or small donations
He didn’t mentioned when was that 2btc winning happen because if that’s in 2012 then thats just a small amount of compared to what’s the value today

I once did it to make a donation for my victory. although many people think that the money from gambling is dirty money. but I didn't care about it. because our good intentions can actually be done. Big wins often make us very happy and I often think that when I get the win I will give a partial donation. looks ridiculous but this is fact.maybe it's not just me who has done that. where we promised before playing gambling on something

A dirty money also will become a noble thing, when it is used for needy people. I agree there are classification about any profits from gambling as sinful money or dirty money as per some people's culture and belief. That is because when someone lose some money, on the other end, some other person will be winning it. The curse of the loser may follow it as per some people's opinion. But, I believe even there is a curse that will be cleared when we think about donating some part of winning money.

I believe donating gambling profits must be a emphasized to every gambler. So that, we may not get cursed by dirty money in any case which may help them to win again in their forthcoming gambling/betting rounds.

But, the real fact is most gamblers are not able to finish off their gambling in profits so they never think about big wins so that they may go for donating. I am sure when we happy then we definitely go for sharing those happy feeling which is only possible through donations.

I like this kind or way of helping others because it is the same principle I have :). Why would you choose to donate on a charity where there's a risk for your money to get corrupted instead of giving it directly on the needy? That's what always running on my mind. I prefer to give food and clothes to beggars along the streets rather than donating money on charities or giving tithes on church since some of them (not all of course) just used it for covering up their shady activities.

Giving out money directly to someone also not ensure that it is going to be used for the right things so we just have to do our part with helping others in the best way we can and the particular reason of going charity is we can help more people in one place so no need to find the people who is in need and help them.

For sure the direct help will be felt by the recipients instead of giving it into charity institutions which you never know what they are doing with the money that you donated. There's  a lots of ways where you can share your blessing, even it came from gambling though the intentions to help still
counts. Gambling donations helps people who are in need especially if you can do it directly.

The most important is they feel that you're seriously giving it and not asking for any returns. I don't know if they'll asking you where it comes from but rather to hear from them saying thank you.

I often to share blessings to the person who is really in need, it can be in charity institutions or to the person who directly asks you for something just like beggars. Even it was a small amount but they consider it big and really big enough for them to survive. And surely we could see their faces smiling which makes us also encourage.

I think helping them directly helps more. Not because of I believe that the NGOs are corrputed. It's like they are institions with good resources and knowledge and they know how to use the money most efficiently. But what I've felt is if I give money directly to the needy, he might misuse it. Lots of them will buy drugs and cheap alcohol as they are addicted to it. So buying them food myself serves it better :)

i don't want to be rude here but since i am a frank person i would say never thought of donating so far because the truth is i never win big in gambling.and besides we there are only few people that make a wins in gambling so i know that there are some who are donating but many are not and i am not one of them,or maybe i should say i will cross the bridge when i get there because the time being?its not on my list to do but lets see if things happen

Giving food for someone who is starving for that is really a great thing but will this change their future no,maybe they will be happy on that day but the next day they still look for someone to help them to get foods but the institutions will help them to better and teach the things what they can do and let them to lead their life on their own by teaching how to do that.

many says gambling money is dirty but how come a Dirty money extends life?donating money for some others to eat is life extending and sometimes even churches forget to do while gamblers dont
i remember some videos i have watched about some churches denied to give help to the needed but they are accepting money donations from gambling institutions,while those money they are calling dirty is the materials that causes foods to eat and shelters to live on.so indeed donating gambling profits is helpful

Yes, when we are happy so we think about making others happy too but it’s only possible if we have money to share. When you earn so it’s really good to remember poor people and needy in your happiness we should donate some of our profit for those who are not having their life good and waiting for our help.

Wow it's a very wise statement. And it's a very generous attitude, the world would cetainly be more pleasant, if all people were thinking like you. I'm a little bit like you, I like to donate to needy, but I prefer to donate to needy women, I must confess.

Why? Lol, I smell something huh.
Donating to needy people is necessary if you found someone then, directly give to them or bringing food and cloth much better.
There are people who have a good heart and thinking they are generous people. Giving a small amount is good to give in NGOs or charity foundations program but if that is a big amount you can treat all of them and give a pleasant day that makes them smile.

It is surely a noble deed if you help other through your gambling profit. There are so many poor people who are in wait for people who can help them to live good life. That’s why when ever I gamble I try to spare some part of my income for poor and needy people as there are so many people who deserve this.

The desire of heart to help others and lessen their pain with the help of money has far more importance than the ways it was eared. If a person is trying to do something in favor of society, his efforts should be highly appreciated and other must try to follow his footsteps. Not every gambler is a sinner and not every pope is angel. We should not judge people by their profession and appearances.

Indeed, give them basic needs not a thing which is used for buying basic needs, obviously there's a huge difference between the two. So instead of giving them money we should give them food and clothes etc., it would be so much better. Now you can have peaceful nights with no longer gettting bothered whether they misused the money that you gave or not ;D.

But if you can afford and whole-heartedly willing to give them job opportunities then why not. That's the best solution because I believe in a saying "Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime".

If I could, I would. If I'd be lucky to win big time, then why not donate some of my win to those who are unfortunate? Really I would love to do it. It feels so much better when you helped other people. But since I haven't won such big amount, I still can't do it. When I say big amount, prizes from lottery like millions and such that will make me a millionaire, then I'll help other people and even the environment.
But since I ain't that lucky, I can't do what I imagined. But when I have extra money from my winnings and I would see some homeless or kids, I'll give them a bit of help.

If you are saying that it feels so much when we helped others?then why need to wait for winning when you can do it in every small ways?

Give some amount of money in street dwellers ,or give foods to those who begs,and why not give some neighbors food if you think need it?
Well that’s your prerogative I was just giving some points if you really want to help

Some users donate big after big wins. I remember samiest in duckdice donating a lot to a school in the Philippines.

I am sure that everyone in his life once did or still will do a good deed for another person, regardless of what financial situation he is in.  Of course, it would be very good if a person who makes a lot of money or who is lucky to easily get a lot of money helps those people who need it.  There is an expression that money does not smell.  This means that any money can be donated.

Hopefully such people win big amounts as they will always be generous enough to do good for the human beings and keep on donating for a noble cause and this will help a mankind as well . As anyways this is also extra what u get from gambling so nice way to even spend money is by donating something .

You sounded like a Politician in the whole thing you've said, no wonder why you don't win yet.

I've heard a lot of promises like this, but once they get the price they want, they forgot the things they've promised in the beginning, oh wait, it is the same to those people who only remembers God when they are in need, like when they are dying asking God why He didn't help them, and not even remember God to thank Him when they are receiving blessings from Him.

I know the greed that lives inside in all of us will take over once you get the money you are seeking, don't make me laugh, you won't even donate a single penny on people who needs it.

some politicians are worst because when they win , they only care about themselves and they easily forget the people that they help them   . the reply the you quote above is still reasonable because the guy could only be poor and dont have extra money to donate right now  , same thing to me and to the many people  .  in the times that we are poor we must only prioritize our selves if how can we live longer than prioritizing other people if what they need .

If many more gamblers can donate some of their win money, that will help more people, especially if we can say that we get the money from doing jobs that paying with bitcoin. That will help bitcoin to be spread among the people, but we don't have to say that the money is from gambling ;D

But if we cannot get a win in gambling, then I think we don't have to wait until we can get some win money to donate to other people because we could still donate some money to people who needed that money, at least we can help them to buy food.

Indeed helping doesnt need to be huge or in cash. We can help by giving food or used clothes to less fortunate people in the street especially now that christmas season is coming.

We know its hard to win in gambling especially if you're aiming for the jackpot, so if we wait to win before sharing something to others then it might take a long time.

When its winning a Jackpot, I presume that's means a big amount of money, therefore we also have a chance to donate a big amount of money to whoever we like to donate the money. Personally, I might do it as well because you win because of luck, so sharing your blessings will always make you feel more than a winner since as for me, money is not everything in the world, its just use as an instrument to make people happy.

Donating money for the betterment of society is virtue. Gambling money is not dirty money as many people think. Moreover, helping others is not related t income source but the desire of heart to be of some use to others, to make lives of needy easy. People who do such acts deserve respect and we all must try to be like them. After all this is humanity. Gamblers who donate are better than gamblers who play on and eventually lose.

It isnt really necessary for you to gamble first before you can make a donation.We can do it directly without the need
to engage with gambling.We can simply get a portion of our salary and donate to those who are in need.If a certain individual
do have the good heart on helping other people then he wont mind on where those funds came from even if its on gambling
then it doesnt matter where the most important thing here is that he do able to help out people who are in need.

Helping other is a good thing to do and if a gambler is doing with its gambled money, it does not really matter. He is benefiting the society and its people. He is far better than those who earn via business but do not donate even a single penny. The beauty lies in his heart that desires to help others. Judging the actions of people on the basis of their income source, not intentions, is not encouraged.

If someone has this much generous heart then they should be appreciated but on the other side some people argue that gambling money is dirty money so they even don't accept if someone willing to donate it. ::) Donating may not be a habit for someone only when they win huge money from things like gambling they used to be in that way generally so they will donate funds from gambling rewards as well.

Rejecting donation? This sounds too impossible nowadays even charities wont really mind that much on where those funds came from.
How they would consider out on rejecting the money which they do know that can really be helpful to them? minding to source sounds too irrelevant.
Being holy is only good into previous decades but now on the current era? It isnt really a serious matter anymore.

actually do not want to show off but I want to answer from the op thread that I often do charity, no matter the big profit or a little from gambling.
imagine, we are spending money to gamble, while out there are still many people who need money just to buy food so that's why when I get a profit I don't forget to donate part of my winnings to people in need.
