Crime Effect of Gambling - Your thoughts!

[avikz]

Casinos are often associated with criminal activity. Drug dealers and prostitutes operate near casinos – they know that there are a large number of potential clients in the area. Casinos can therefore be devastating to neighborhoods.

This statement made me laugh hard. It sounds similar to when someone associate money laundering to cryptocurrencies only! As if money laundering never existed before cryptocurrencies! It is just a social thinking process and nothing else! Criminals will do whatever they want to, wither in vicinity of a casino or elsewhere. There is not even one casino in my country, does that lower down the crime rate or prostitution rate? NO! Gambling is just a business! Children go to amusement part to entertain themselves, adults go to casino to entertain themselves! As simple as that!

This social thinking about gambling is bad due to several factors like religion. However, if you look at the facts that how gambling had turn around the economy of a country, I will encourage you to please read the below threads,

This dude is only just focusing out on the negative side of Crypto gambling sites without even thinking the positive ones that it do contribute on ones economy.
Money laundering and prostitution does exist ever since as long theres money it would always be tied up with it.

It is true that it help the economy as well. But as a human being one should have control on them self so that they do not get addicted to any such thing where people have become homeless while gambling. Obviously it is their own mistake but many countries have banned the gambling because of the reason that people may just ruin them self or just trying avoid if any money laundering might happen.

Each country do have its significant views towards gambling either they are solely protective with their citizens or just minding on how gambling businesses
will benefit their entire community without minding possible effects or any other things attached to it.

Gambling addiction is on players mistake gambling is just for entertainment and not for money making.

Right.If gambling has its own negative aspects,i'm sure it has also its positive aspects too.Gambling gives higher chances to people to win huge amount in an instant and if this amount will be used at a good purpose at home,i'm sure it can even increase a family's economy.But on the contrary,gambling may also cause harm to the lives of the people if the people themselves became a slave to gambling.Eventually addiction will take place and that will push the people to do such things that are already illegal just to satisy their own wants.

I do not really think it is the gambling directly that makes people go to a life of crime.

I think as you can see from a lot of Hollywood movies as well the trouble is not that someone who loses money in gambling goes and steals some money to repay, it is the people who he gambles with that makes it happen. There are not so good people who help people gamble, there are underground casinos and sportsbooks that are illegally run and the people who own those places have a lot of hired gun that will get the money from you one way or another.

If you get a loan from a bank and you do not pay it back, bank posses your things and sells it of an auction. If you gamble in an underground casino and lose, you will have to pay the debt or they will break your arm or leg or something. So it kinda depends on where you gamble not if you gamble.

When they are out of funds in gambling they are tempted to do the crimes as you said but it is not because of gambling it just happened because they need to repay the debts to the banks so we can call the banks also causing crimes among the people?

Not right ! so the fault is from the individual who is doing these kind of things.

I recently participated in a debate on debatepedia and this particular one brought about a huge argument and I was wondering how that argument will play out here and hoping to view your thoughts on this.

Actually, the bone of content here is that does gambling cause an increase in various kinds of related criminal activities? Few examples of the major points raised were;

Casinos are often associated with criminal activity. Drug dealers and prostitutes operate near casinos – they know that there are a large number of potential clients in the area. Casinos can therefore be devastating to neighborhoods.

The existence of criminals does not make nearby businesses (including casinos) immoral. It is perverse to punish people who just want to gamble (and not take drugs or use prostitutes) by taking away their chance to do so.

For me personally, I believe immoral activities are certainly based on each individual and it does not have anything to do with gambling. Nevertheless, from some of the further research that I made, I got to understand that, these things mentioned are very much applicable in most casinos; drug dealings, prostitution and even some casinos where the owners are into some shady stuffs. Well, just want to get to know what you guys think about this. Do you think Casino is like a hiding place for perpetrators of crime or casino on its own, ushers in a huge level of immoral activities by default?

Casinos mostly associated with crimes in which the common of it was drugs money to be circulated in the casino. I don't know how it could possibly be done but it was only based on what I have understood. When it comes to online casino ot online gambling I don't see any crime related activities, though there might be just like scams but only limited to unregistered sites.

Don't know about drug dealers but Prostitutes are normally attracted to entertainment/relaxation spots. So it is not really about gambling.
It also depends on the owners of gambling centers and country's laws ...If they don't want  Prostitutes there, they definitely won't be allowed.

There are bunch of people who come and go at the casinos and you probably don't know each one of them.
Most people who enter casinos are riches and famous people while some of them are from many different cities.
It is also the best place to deal with something that we don't know and beyond our limits.

[xWolfx]

Those who are addicted chances of they turning to criminal increases because in addiction every time you can only think is gambling and to gamble you require money. You cannot win every time from gambling and thus results in the losses and to get more money people start doing crime.

This is 100% truth, it's like drug addiction precisely or almost any addiction. The fact that they think they can prey on casinos customers is because of that and also because they take some sort of have fun without limits mindset which often leads people around there to use their products or services(Drugs, prostitutes).

Are criminals wrong? They definitely know what they are a doing. Even if it's not the casinos fault if they are not linked with them it certainly is a consequence of having one nearby.

You must be right on this mate as i believe Illegal Drugs,Prostitution and even kidnapping is happening inside casino,theres alot of cases in asia when mostly chinese nationals are abducting each other just to claim money from the victims family

But ofcourse we cannot take this from this institution sinc gambling is also illegal i some other part of the world.

Though i am also thinking that government officials are part of this illegal activities becaue this involves lot of money

Yes it depends on the gambling place. as well as yourself when you want to avoid crime. gambling is an entertainment so we should feel rilex and freedom. gambling is not the trigger for crime, because it all depends on each person. believe that when we consider gambling to be an entertainment we will feel such extraordinary comfort. do not put pressure on us because we will only exacerbate the situation.

Underworld casinos are illegal so if people going for that casino also need to be bad ass or you will get eaten by others,but if a casino is legit and approval from governments then it is not possible to have such things and if you found any you can call the security.

Illegal places do always exist. If theres legal ones then there would be illegal too so I'm not surprised that these kind of places is lurking somewhere which its somehow
expected that all illegal doings is already tied up.I agree that if you do let yourself come to that place then better be prepared on what would you encountered and would see with your very own eyes.

Right.I have seen some cases wherein some casinos have been a hiding place for some illegal acts but it greatly depends if the owner of the casino tolerated those acts.Maybe he is also making money from it so he is fully aware about those crimes.So it would be more wise to choose gambling sites that are not surrounded by those illegal acts if you don't want to be a part of it.

Gamblers may be suspicious but actual frauds means you. Red to trap the site owner only.  They were introducing which is not legal in your country so you must be careful before you invested on any gambling sites.

Criminals in gambling field? I don't vote for it for sure.

Maximum people invested on gambling must clear the way they are moving for earning purposes.

It is true that people come to gambling site for the purpose of money making but we need money to bet on the gambling sites which may tempt the people to do crimes to get that money and even when they are addicted they can do anything to gamble but it is very rare case thoug.

Crime is the side effect of gambling even though not every gamblers will commit crime to fulfill their gambling habits. For those who already addicted to gambling and have no more money to satisfy his addiction, they are susceptible to do crime.

I admit that every gambler is not criminal but as gambling is not assumes positive therefore people stitch evil things with gambling and it is a fact that gambler especially in my community doesn’t have any respect and all the people keep distance from a gambler. Many gamblers become criminals too when they are gambling addicted and that is the reason that crime is assumed as part of gambling.

Those who are addicted chances of they turning to criminal increases because in addiction every time you can only think is gambling and to gamble you require money. You cannot win every time from gambling and thus results in the losses and to get more money people start doing crime.

Actually it is a very dangerous factor for a gambler and already has a hard addiction. He could not stop for a moment to gamble and think about how to get money in a good way, in my country there were many such events. They steal by coming to people's homes every night and pointing sharp weapons at threatening people who have a home, but his bad luck comes when the police are able to arrest him and it turns out he is a gambler. So the government made a strict regulation to regulate gambling in my country, especially gambling online.

Its not gambling alone that make them do crimes  . i believe those addict gamblers do also use drugs and other forms of addictive stuffs , thats why that can result for them to do other deadly crimes because if they are already high . they are out of their minds and they are not afraid anymore  .  they can even endure any pain   that they will recieve  .

Playing on a legal and trusted site will make us comfortable playing gambling.
I recommend 777coin to play gambling, find a place that is comfortable and safe so that we can play calmly.
Playing on a legal site will make us avoid crime. Choose the best then the results will be good.

Well some casinos may be promoting such kind of activities, but I think that gambling is not only played by wrong people, I can see a lot of people who play ambling and their only reason is to release their stress after day work. They always play gambling in a pleasant way and under their budget. I think we should also highlight the god aspects of gambling.

Though i am also thinking that government officials are part of this illegal activities becaue this involves lot of money

This must be a hard truth about how the legal system is working and leading to support the growth of illegal things. By considering all these, I just want to take a resolution of not at all gambling in physical casino so that I will not support them in any means.
