Every country have different culture and rule.

Unfortunlately , my government really strict about gambling activity so you will see less in my country because there are many past incident that turn into bloody murder because of gambling !
The same with my country prohibiting hard gambling in whatever form and the government deliver strict rules in order to gambling did develop and anyone who do gambling means breaking the law and there will be the criminal law for the perpetrator

Gambling is good in some places but its illegal is some country. Here in our country gambling is already a culture because you can see people gambling everywhere and a lot of big casinos are being built. Gamblin is not a bad culture its just so happen that people are too greedy to earn money without thinking about how much things they risk just to make small profit.
It is not something that could be mentioned as an unfortunate event. You are perceiving things according to your own personal narrow interests but it would definitely be a blessing for you if you will inculcate the idea in your mind that such type of strict polices will lead to peace and prosperity in your society and hence the country would offer you some other ways to earn instead of gambling.

Have you ever wonder why even there are a lot of negative things gambling bought, it still doesnt leave us ? Is that so, gambling has been a part of our culture , even you have plenty or not. Rich people often socialize in the form of casino, while the poor are contented on country games with lower bets. I, as a person living on a third world country, witnessed how gambling form our culture. Town celebrations or "fiesta" are not complete without low cost gambling houses called "perya" where you can bet starting from almost $.02 and above. Every corner of the street has some kids playing coin games and even a wake makes its company awake using card games. Weird isnt it? How about in your country?
this is a culture, when the country legalizes gambling there, the country will give birth to many gamblers, and for that it will be very profitable to build a gambling company in your country very much different from my country, the prohibition for gambling is very tight, and many gambling sites which is blocked from my country server, but still many gamblers in my country using various ways to access the gambling
So i think that gambling is everywhere. It is played in almost all parts of the world. Even those people who have no knowledge and live far behind times play this game. Actually, it is as old as the human race itself. The reason can be money. No one in this world is unaware of money and gambling is one way for many people to make money. Those people who find it difficult to do work go for such evil. Some also find fun and relief in it too.
why do you say like that? gambling is not a crime, even we can use the income from gambling for good or donate some of our wins to the orphanage. or more, gambling companies are opening up many opportunities for job vacancies for those who are difficult to work and can apply there, even for some people to gamble can entertain them. and gambling is not a crime
Gambling isn't a crime in any sense but you cant blame people if they would say such thing because we do have different insights and perspective towards gambling.It might be a personal reason and we cant blame them but if we do see the general part then gambling isn't a crime yet this is solely an entertainment, the after effects can be considered to be a crime already when you already doing such thing because of your too much addiction.
is your addiction a crime? I do not think so. because gambling addicts also have limits when they gamble with their abilities. and if they borrow money to gamble. they also always pay each loan. so there is no crime in gambling

Even many already know such thing, that whatever outcome came minding still exist. Those who truely devoted in their culture, laws and religion will be the only one who will take the rules by heart and the others will just think that rules didn't exist at all. It will always still depend on us if we will be part of the culture that we should at least be.
When gamblers are beginning to have such a motive to get rich through gambling, that is where a whole lot of problem usually starts. I know no one wants to lose in gambling, but generally, a lot of people do and it is a known thing, so for anyone to think they can easily get lucky and get the life they want from gambling is totally preposterous. Those who may want to see it as a norm or as a culture, are the ones who may just want to paint it white.

is your addiction a crime? I do not think so. because gambling addicts also have limits when they gamble with their abilities. and if they borrow money to gamble. they also always pay each loan. so there is no crime in gambling
Definitely it is a crime. When addictions makes you to forget your personal and social responsibilities then you will become a sick of society which means you are living one for you. In more particularly, some addicted people do rob for money for continuing gambling. Now tell me what is the wrong in considering addiction a crime ?

in my country, although it's strict about gambling, people still playing gambling but with secret and they can play in a secret place without other people knows except the gamblers. but I am not heard any bloody murder in here because I think that the police is trying to hide any illegal things that happen in my country.
I have same situation here in my country. People are concealing themselves and these gambling points are so hidden that a casual person can’t find them. But they are only known to the gamblers and people who are in this field. Police is always behind them and looking forward for such points. Sometimes we heard police had made a raid and many people become sentenced.

Gambling culture is all same in every part of the world because the definition of gambling does not change however law of doing such a business may differ from state to state. If your government has prohibited this activity in your homeland, count yourself a lucky guy because there is nothing good about this game. It is like a sweet poison, killing the gambler without his awareness.
Yeah here in our country, this game is just prohibited. Even then people have marked different locations and they gamble there. No one could even know about those places but all those who are in this field or belongs to them, they have idea of what is going on there. Our police is still raiding in different areas and catching different people who have been the victim of this law-break.

Very well, i do agree on your point that gambling is like a sweet poison and we don't know about it because we are only feel its sweet taste and inside it is killing ourself. Although we see government not allow gambling legally but instead of it people play it and if we think that if in all over the world governments allow to play gambling and also include it in our culture then we definitely see a huge people will die because of it.
It is definitely sweet, especially if you are winning and profiting. It doesn't make sense if you didn't profit with it (if you're winning) probably regaining losses. It's definitely hard to control self if you are dependent on it. It is a culture and there are people who make a living out of it.
And I think that is the worst culture that can exist on this planet earth. Thus this culture is promoting the vibes in different people from different walks of life that gambling is the best source of income. And being victimized of these statements some stupid people start trusting such methods and they become involved in such waste games. That ends them with big losses.

Then it would be really hard for a gamblers to stay in your country if the police are always are their tail. I'm sure that those 'secret' places for gamblers will not stay that long because once the police have identified that place sooner or later raid will be coming. So gamblers has really have a lot of risk, not only you can lose your money, but you can lose your freedom as well if you are caught.

Well if that happens in my country, I will probably stop gambling, and will not put that risk specially if I have a family. Luckily though I lived where gambling is part of our culture and tradition.

In my place also we have many hidden gambling places even police also know these places but they will not raid because that place owners will pay everyday commission to the police department. But sometimes they will do some fake raids and arrest some people because to reach their target. yes end of the month they must show the government how many cases they registered.

Gambling in my country is inherited from the spanish colony to my ancestor when they arrived in my country and that vices would pass from generation  to other generation until now,thats why mostly of my fellow countrymen  know how to play  in different gambling because its is  now a part of our culture  and tradition that we indebted to our grandparents,especially this cockfighting,and poker card games this all we learn from our ancestor and many generation time will come its will developed into a new technology that we called online casino gambling using only a computer  technology.

On corrupted countries then these kind of behavior or system is rampant which there are still gambling places that do illegally operating which have been protected by the government also due to they are benefiting into those places.It does depend on a certain country on what is their perception and laws towards gambling but in general sense gambling is somehow been part of some culture.

I think some of that police is protected that place and the owner must give some "protection money" to that police so they can continue their business. and for the gamblers, I think they can live without any problem in my country because they can play gambling with safe because I think the police has a list of the gamblers so the police won't take any response as long as the gamblers don't do any bad action. and if they only playing gambling, maybe the police can "protect" them for a while.

Gambling is even very popular among people who can not afford. The majority of people gambling throughout history are the poor who have to work hard to live. Gambling is the most available escape because other entertainment spend money without any chance the money can get back or make more money. the more socially accustomed people are to gambling, the habit is already rushing and spreading almost entrenched. because it has become a routine activity.

Even tho gambling isn't something that we can call part of our culture since our country's religion clearly forbids it , yet it has been adopted as a hobby for centuries now and people of all ages have at least tried it once in one way or another .
Whether you went to a proper casino and played dice or just sent an SMS to participate in a Tv show competition it's still called gambling but the degree of "shame" and "sin" ain't the same for these people , even tho it's really the same .
And we got those who consider it as the devil's invention and one of the most prohibited sins , yet i define a sin as doing something that hurts other people , yet whenever gambling i'm hurting no one in the world by spending the money that i earned so gambling is not a sin for me , neither something to be ashamed of , but trying to make 3rd world people understand is just impossible ..

I got your point too.Yes gambling has been here already even from the time of our ancestors long time ago.So there's no way stopping it,since it has been legalized also by most of the countries.But considering those poor people who are much into it,i think gambling would not really come out a good influence for them.Instead they may become addicted to it and it's not only one person who will suffer but the whole family will be hungry.I think this one should need attention from the government,minimizing gambling for those poor people who made gambling as a means for living,not just a mere entertainment.

Every country have different culture and rule.

Unfortunlately , my government really strict about gambling activity so you will see less in my country because there are many past incident that turn into bloody murder because of gambling !
The same with my country prohibiting hard gambling in whatever form and the government deliver strict rules in order to gambling did develop and anyone who do gambling means breaking the law and there will be the criminal law for the perpetrator

Gambling is good in some places but its illegal is some country. Here in our country gambling is already a culture because you can see people gambling everywhere and a lot of big casinos are being built. Gamblin is not a bad culture its just so happen that people are too greedy to earn money without thinking about how much things they risk just to make small profit.
In my country too gambling is considered legal because there are numerous number of casino buildings,small bets games for fiestas celebration,and also places for cock-fighting games.It had begun even in our ancestors before and had continuosly practiced until now.There is no bad about that,but only those people who develop jealousy and greedines over other's winnings are the ones who gives gambling a negative effect.
It means that you are unhappy with the government policies about gambling. Fortunately in my country government is also very strict about gambling activities and it is right because gambling is bad thing and no government should allow its people to gamble. Many countries especially west have allowed gambling and there are specific places for gambling.

I have same situation here in my country. People are concealing themselves and these gambling points are so hidden that a casual person can’t find them. But they are only known to the gamblers and people who are in this field. Police is always behind them and looking forward for such points. Sometimes we heard police had made a raid and many people become sentenced.

Then it would be really hard for a gamblers to stay in your country if the police are always are their tail. I'm sure that those 'secret' places for gamblers will not stay that long because once the police have identified that place sooner or later raid will be coming. So gamblers has really have a lot of risk, not only you can lose your money, but you can lose your freedom as well if you are caught.

Well if that happens in my country, I will probably stop gambling, and will not put that risk specially if I have a family. Luckily though I lived where gambling is part of our culture and tradition.

In my place also we have many hidden gambling places even police also know these places but they will not raid because that place owners will pay everyday commission to the police department. But sometimes they will do some fake raids and arrest some people because to reach their target. yes end of the month they must show the government how many cases they registered.
Different countries have different cultures relating to gambling. In some western countries government support gambling and provide opportunities to the gamblers. While in Asia and most countries of Africa gambling is not allowed and they think gambling is a worse thing and it will destroy our people. While online gambling cannot be stopped in any country.

The only reason I can think of is because it became part of our past time. Some watch movies, sports or anything related but some want to spend it on gambling. It gives you excitement and there's money and you can socialize too.

Well, that is one of the most worse pastime you could ever have. I do have my own ways just to kill some time but not like gambling, gambling itself is avoidable if you don't to have any problem about losing your money, you might win but not always. Gambling is not a culture, it is a habit, and we have a choice if we wanted to do it or not.

Been part of out tradition on some countries which it isn't really complete if we don't see those things specially on occasions like "fiestas" where those kind of small scale gambling do exist.I do see some countries which do prohibit this but I do see most of the them do really allow this thing since it just really for the purpose of entertainment for those people who do visit or stroll into that area.
Even it is prohibited, there are exceptions when it comes into being used in it, I know that some "perya" were only allowed if that municipality permitted them, same in some wakes. Maybe it just depends on how strict the implementation since as long as people can do it without being arrested, then their fun continues.
Gambling has been around a long time and can not be destroyed and some are made as a tradition, and almost all countries ban gambling because it will get a loss and even become addicted to those who play it .. but it is difficult to ban it because gambling will always be there forever and their various ways will still gamble despite having to hide because it has become a cultural tradition of our ancestors
