Guns/drugs/knives/sugar/alcohol are addictive and/or dangerous. Most of those things including gambling are fun or can be used or enjoyed  responsibly by the majority but a few people always have their problems but that's the individuals choice.

Sure and thus the reason why I think it should be legal and unregulated. Gambling in the most benign form is a waste of time like video games or soap operas , with irresponsibility it becomes more dangerous than certain hard drugs.

  Are there any gambling sites that donate 100% of net profits to charity?

Gambling is legal in most places, but I'm not sure it being unregulated to do what they hell they want is a good thing. Most things that we do are ultimately a waste of time (posting on internet forums for example lol) but it's all about moderation and what a person gets out of it (drugs and gambling and posting on a forum can be fun but also dangerous and damaging). And Why would they donate money? They're businesses not charities, but maybe you could create the first charity gambling site? People may be more inclined to play there if they think their money is going to a good place once they lose it.

Charity gambling or not charity gambling. Currently both forms of gambling are illegal in some countries. Except for playing with bitcoin which can't be regulated.


Well, bitcoin has to be integrated into more mainstream uses first. Once it gets around to store retailers and online sales with more strength, then it will be time to look into more specific uses such as sports and competitions. Gambling really just took off that fast with bitcoin because it is a legal workaround to something that would be illegal with fiat, nothing else.
It is true, but now the laws in countries like US are getting strict which is causing these sites to shut down or the owner's facing legal charges like Micon @SWC . But yes there are still way around that. I feel slowly more and more sites will eventually have legal issues with running, but since its an unlicensed industry there is nothing that will stop new sites to come up.

Gambling is legal in more countries than it is not, but since bitcoin isn't legal tender or money in many places they might be able to get around restrictions using it.

If casino operators are careful with where they host their sites there's not much the authorities can do about them. You absolutly cannot operate them from the USA that's a given.

well one could simply gamble and then donate that to charity if he want, i don't think we really need a site that dose this two thing together

or some dice game could just donate a portion of their earning to a charity service
