Gambling winnings

Yes, the only problem is that the government only acts when it sees gamblers winning but does nothing or seems to turn a blind eye when it sees gamblers losing, I understand that the government has a policy in enforcing regulations but doesn't that seem unfair? Yes, and I also understand that maybe the government only enforces the regulations when gamblers win, but I think it would be much more ideal if the government imposed the tax on the bookies who own all the casinos operating in the country and not on the gamblers, so I think that's what the government should do, I mean don't involve gamblers in tax issues because besides gamblers are faced with the opportunity to win but they also have the possibility of losing money.

Because the government will only seek profit, they don't care about any lost and will not provide any returns when their citizens lose money in gambling, in fact this is something that is always burden for gamblers whose countries provide rules and regulations regarding winning taxes.
And I also very sure that the government has asked for tax for every casino operating there but the government is still not satisfied with the tax so it adds winning tax for its citizens, regarding money there is no government parliament that is not interested, they will try to get as much money as possibl mostly by taking advantage of certain activities for licensing reason and so on, such as utilise gambling.

The things you mentioned are often governments impose rules and taxes to collect money through casino but at the same time they are not given any returns from the government when citizens are affected. And that’s not the same in all countries of the world, in some countries such online casinos are illegal in some countries. It imposes extravagance for citizens that can cause more difficulties, mainly the economic strategy of the government, but ensures justice for citizens is sometimes harmful. The statement you mentioned is relatively correct. But if I say on my behalf, it is better not to pray. Because gambling can bring you money for just a few time but cannot solve you in the way you want.

Basically, sharing is something good but, the problem is that when we start by sharing the winnings, then at a later time those who previously received the winnings will come back to ask for it. This will become their culture if it is not stopped, so gamblers may feel uncomfortable with the number of people waiting in line to get the winnings. After all, basically gamblers will also voluntarily share, but if the reality is asked like that, then those who initially volunteered to share, will be reluctant to share because it can be likened to extortion.

some people I know doesn't share their wining, I think that sharing your wining to other people is just a personal something not like it's a cultural something that will be done every time, we need to understand that gambling is a personal decision and when you fails it will be own your own risk and nobody will sympathise with you, so how it necessary that when you win is necessary to share you wining to other people, I think that sharing is voluntary

That's a great point the last statement you've said, when you failed is on you it's your responsibilities especially if you lose a lot so how come that when you win there's a need of sharing or whatever, the best thing is you know your limits and you know what to do with your money, there are willing to share while there are also who's not willing and just wanted to keep it that way.

It's a personal choice either sharing or not it's you who can decide what to do with your money and how you balance both your earnings and loses..

Hmm yes it is really sad when we see the government implementing various policies that only benefit them, but from another perspective if for example the tax money is used and utilized for something that is beneficial to the community such as building jobs then actually it is not a problem because it has a positive impact on the community and the big problem is when we do not know and there is no clarity about where the money from the tax collection goes lol. So the conclusion in my opinion is that it is not a problem if the government wants to impose taxes on gamblers who have won but with the note that there must be clarity about what the tax money is used for, and if everything turns out to be not transparent for various reasons then I think gamblers should not be involved in this tax problem except for the casino.

State income received from taxes can basically be used for various needs - including building public facilities, paying salaries to state officials and infrastructure. The problem may be with the transparency of its use - of course there are always allegations of corruption by the government from this source of income. I don't argue about that - the reason is clear, corruption exists in every country regardless of whether it is serious or not.

A gambling tax is intended and can be realized in countries where gambling has been legalized - but gambling winnings cannot be taxed in countries where it is prohibited. There are even a lot of gamblers there - but their winnings are not tax deductible. I can accept the government's decision on this case - but I will also guide transparency in the use of the budget.

Does this also counts or stands for Islamic countries and some of the states in the Philippines were gambling or certain aspects to it have been completely banned or not allowed? Isn’t the focus here profit based or by some means to get them taxes to run a government?
While a lot of ethnicity and groups might view gambling to be vile and full of vices, the few that have being able to gamble responsibly understands a lot better. It’s a highly profitable business to CEOs of gambling houses, casinos and the bookies, online and offline. It also adds a lot of money to the government’s purse for sure but, it’s not the fault of gambling if people aren’t making good choices of their gambling habits.

Well yes that is the problem, I mean from the beginning I also suspected that at least there would be state officials who did have bad intentions to take advantage of the situation and conditions and that is the reason why I said above that there must be clarity and transparency for the use of tax money, so the point is it doesn't matter if the government wants to apply such regulations to gamblers, although I am sure that the majority of gamblers will most likely reject the regulation even though for example the budget will be used to further improve their own country from various sectors but I am sure that there will still be tolerance from gamblers if there is clarity regarding the allocation of the tax budget. The point is in my opinion if for example you are in a country that applies such regulations then yes it is indeed your obligation to continue to monitor the tax budget.

The government cannot do without taxing, they try to task any sort of income with profits attached and they don't care how much you've lost before getting such profits. It is our duty as gamblers to limit the amounts we throw into the casino, so we don't loose much and get prepared to still abide by the laws of the country when we win. The government are brutal and the least we can do is take it easy on ourselves.

I have never payed tax on my gambling wins, the law isn't that strong in my country, I am entitled to 100% of my gambling wins, possibly for now, but in any means I find myself in a country that taxes gamblers, I'll surely pay my taxes for my wins. Failure to do that you might be made to face the law.

Like you put it here you are blaming people for gambling gone wrong. Well in fact it is quite the opposite, the gambling can incite addiction, can make people make bad decisions because gambling can give emotions bad or good ones, though most of the time are bad emotions. The governments and entities who forbid it I think are better countries compared to those who allow it for the simple reason that when people have no possibility of gambling, they have more money to themselves and as such they can contribute better to their country, job, life and everything in general, they are not put in a situation where they can think that maybe they can win some money, extra money.

Of course I am, I am blaming irresponsible gamblers for not having to gamble responsibly, not having to establish limits to their gambling habits and not having to know when they should cut it out, pack and go home.

Now let’s get this straight;
Should a customer/gambler gets to gamble way too much and continues to lose… the house then decides to end his suffering by asking him not to gamble anymore for the day or pack it up and go home,,, what do you think would result?
I’m damned sure the internet wouldn’t be at peace with the noise that would develop about a story of the gambling house having to restrict you from its service after getting a lot of your money.

I gamble and I know where to draw the line. As a rational person, you would be able to recognize activities that are not good for you and not do them. That’s what every normal thinking individual would do and in the event that you can’t help yourself about it, you seek help.

So, drinking can be addictive and as such, it’s the liquor or the beer that’s the problem and not the person taking it uncontrollably? It’s the same thing
Trading also drives emotions too and takes from traders, lots of money but, we can’t find it being addictive why? Those who trade are those that are out there, using the most of their reasoning in trying to get trades right every time. Gamblers should do the same!

Gambling is not actually fun because you can call it fun when you are losing consistently anytime you try to bet and make a profit. There are people who actually disagree with the idea of gambling because the believe that you have a complete fun from betting. Addiction is one of the consequences of gambling without discipline. People that have tried to gamble without discipline have regretted their actions because of greed. People without jobs are the ones that do get this addiction of a thing too often because they're very quick to gamble on any game because their major source of income is from betting. Having a source of income can make gambling less and not too often.

Agreed, when the law hasn't asked you to pay taxes then you're safe but when the law demands that you pay taxes but you're not paying your taxes on purpose, you're going against the law and when you get caught, you're going to pay for disobeying the law. The taxes are for the federal government to make use of and they're not mismanaging them hence you have to keep paying your taxes on all your profits for people leaving in countries that the laws demand that they pay.

Not every country will asked their citizens that gamble to pay taxes because they know that gambling isn't a guarantee way of making money hence it doesn't sound nice to tax people that're not making a consistent profits from what they're doing to earn a living. Gambling winnings are always luck and not a stable income for the federal government to tax though.
