Why some countries gamble more than the others?

[DaNNy001]

1. Support from the government.
Countries who gamble a lot has solid laws protecting their players so gamblers in those countries can just freely gamble as much as they want without having to worry about their rights. This doesn't mean that the countries have very free and loose rules but it just means that they have clear frameworks. Some other countries have some limitations but since their rules are clear, many still gamble.

2. Bigger paychecks.
Not all rich people are gamblers but they certainly have more chances to gamble if they wanted to. According to data, the higher the income is in some countries the more people gamble in that country. Since the average citizen is earning a lot, even if they spend quite a significant amount of money in gambling this will still not cause financial doom.

Is it fair to assume that a better economy and a solid framework will make people gamble more but be addicted less? This is the source, by the way.

Which countries have more gamblers? I wouldn't compare the money because a few people from the USA are enough to beat the whole population of a big country because the USA is a very rich country and Dana White's gambling habit alone will outweigh hundreds of thousands of people's loses.
In general, the population of poor countries gamble the most because they don't have high paying jobs, they work more and earn less and this affects their mental health. Also, since the level of their education is low, they think that they'll be the chosen one who will win the jackpot and their life will dramatically change.

The untied States generates the highest gambling revenue in the whole world so you are right in the aspect of that money part...But when it comes to the population of gamblers I'm not entirely sure but I think the highest amounts should be from African countries, just as you described, they gamble because they are looking for means to survive, these are countries where job opportunities are scarce

As parents, if we want to get by, we just give them money and we don't know what they'll do with it. That's not the way it should be. They should mature, we should give them trust, but that's a process; it doesn't happen overnight. It's really difficult sometimes to be a parent.

I've learnt something. As a parent you are not supposed to just give money to your children anyhow without knowing what they will do with it. It is not because you do not trust them as a parent that you are doing so but because you are instilling in them that discipline of becoming responsible with their expenses. No matter how rich you are as a parent, unless you are getting your money illegally, else you will agree with me that money is not plugged from the tree and it takes a lot of sacrifice either as a civil servant or as a business man to make money is not easy therefore you must teach your children how to spend judiciously and responsible.

This is what a good guardian and parents should be doing, they need to embrace this culture of not giving until you know the reason but nowadays parent like to be acting woke and doing the new generation lifestyle and this is why we are all suffering from the consequences of our actions, parents want to show who is the best parent neglecting the basic things they need to do for their kids, this is how many of them don't know their kids but they claimed to know.

Some kids are gambling and their parents don't know they do, some may not be addicted but it's a very bad behavior of parents not to know if their child is gambling. Is normal parents not to know everything their kids do but as long as gambling is concerned, there is going to be some red flags to check as parents that one can use to know about the behavior of their kids to gambling, but many don't just care about those until there is a consequences.

It is a difficult job but it must be done because it is a responsibility, while you do the obligations of the parents who are responsible for their children and form your child's character from a small adulthood is very not easy, but there is always a way to educate children to be better.

It is a fact that it is like that, but there is nothing or a format or something that tells us how to be better, we must always look for the best way to do it, personally I say something, if we are looking for the best for our children that must be built even from when they are children, but even so it is not easy, there are always things that are between them and you as a parent, that only they keep to themselves.

In the situation as we stand, most families are becoming unclonda as they concentrate more on the outside world than relationships populated at home. I believe that this is what happens, as people fail to realise the indicators when the children begin to do something wrong, including gambling. Kids can do it under the carpet and lack any active participation, therefore it can also evolve undetected. It would be wrong to neglect that gambling among children can be a game more than a game and not merely a game, though having psychological and financial effects. In case parents are literally present, at least they are able to notice some basic changes in their behaviour, like the way a child handles money or be able to change their habits overnight. Therefore, the most crucial aspect would be to establish the relationship where children would feel comfortable about telling the truth at the beginning.

I think it’s really simple. I think it comes down to laws and economics. Sure there are probably plenty of poor countries where gambling is illegal or I should say legal sorry and that is just another way for governments to collect money. I guess that’s pretty universal however, some nations are more strict with all sorts of different things like here in the United States. We just recently opened up legal gambling. It’s created a massive influx of government taxation And so I don’t see that slowing down and I see other countries adopting the same.

Poor people out of desperation tend to gamble just so they can have something to serve on the table. It’s totally unsustainable and will almost always end up in a disaster. Gambling can’t be a substitute to actually working.

If the poor should gambler as a result of poverty what should be the reason behind wealthy gamblers? I’m curious to know if they ever get rich during the process. No doubt countries with low level economy, unemployment are considered populated in terms of gambling activity resulting to addiction, the only basic reason why few countries record highest populated gamblers definitely poor economy structure. People with the mindset of gambling to bypass poverty are likely getting addicted, over the years countries with record of gambling addiction can’t make a difference not even the economy development.

I think it mostly has to do with the culture and social norms of the people. In some countries, gambling is seen as a normal, regular thing while in others it could be considered one of the most illegal, immoral things you can do. There is not much in between. Many things shape a country and its people. Religion, history, culture...

Of course those countries that gamble more freely do tend to have better laws and regulations on gambling while those that ostrasize it, seem to struggle with keeping a hold on the problems which arise from inadequate regulations.

And when this happens, it's completely irresponsible on the part of the parents That's why sometimes having children, toddlers, teenagers, requires two extra eyes on their backs to supervise them It's something we should always consider. In cases where parents are isolated because they have full-time jobs, they should have their children involved in sports and cultural activities so they're entertained and don't get tired when they arrive home, giving them no time to think about things they shouldn't.

In artistic terms, life has positives and negatives, good, bad, right, wrong, love and hate—all of these exist within every individual, no matter how small. However, we can't control these things further, and we can free our children from what they dislike about their parents. The important thing is to do the best we can, because that's the way it is.

Continued supervision and education on how to deal with gambling are challenges for parents today, especially since gambling is easily accessible via the internet. Therefore, if we don't instill a strong sense of personal integrity, it will be very difficult for children to develop an open mind when dealing with themselves.

I guess it will depend on the results of the other countries. I mean, before they could legalize gambling in their country, they could use the results of the other country, especially their economy, if it was a successful one.

Yes, gambling could really give a big amount in taxation, but they also need to see how it will affect their people. They could find another way to tax people, but when it's gambling, they are losing money both ways. In gambling and in tax. This is deep research before they implement it, or they could just make a test before implementing such a big rule. Legality of gambling.

There one major factor that result to this very facts if some countries gambling more which I may relate to government policies over such gambling towards citizens as it may reduce the interest of citizens who wants to gamble, religious and others factor can be but most important is government policies where people hide to gamble it's difficult for such nation to have high record of gambling because people around perceived it as crime getting involved will be if higher risk not just in losing ones investment but also been imprisoned by government where such is prohibited.

else you will agree with me that money is not plugged from the tree and it takes a lot of sacrifice either as a civil servant or as a business man to make money is not easy therefore you must teach your children how to spend judiciously and responsible.

That's how it is, what happens is that sometimes they spend money on normal things for children and teenagers, and when they leave, they try to get into what is chance, and everything that has to do with games and betting money is dangerous. It's not possible because they are not ready yet , nor are they old enough, I think everything happens in its own time, we shouldn't rush things for them.
