Crime Effect of Gambling - Your thoughts!

[carlfebz2]

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

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.

The thing you do mention isn't a good aspect of gambling yet it has nothing to do with the people who do engage with it and the other things that correlates such as those
illegal activities beyond its vicinity. As long money is involves these things are really inevitable,so as a player then you should be aware on your surroundings because not all the times you
would really be safe even you are just playing on that place but well if you are only a small wagerer then you shouldn't mind at all.

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.

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.

Logically, it has nothing to do with gambling. Gambling is a place to gamble, whatever the intention of someone who comes to the gambling place they only intend to get win or an entertainment depending on the type of person. However, as far I know gambling is always synonymous with criminal act. Maybe not everyone knows about that, because the type of person is always different when he goes to the casino, for those who only intend to gamble or have other intentions because he knows the ins and outs of the casino.

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?

People in casinos are obviously rich or if not, have plenty of money to gamble with so thats why illegal transactions usually done in that place. Gamblers are also always stick on a drug dealers image because of the amount of money they are playing both.

Crime has been there since the inception of this world and casino or gambling did not increase it.  I cannot think of any connection between the two of them and because of that I don't think gambling  do contribute to crime as crime is a thing of the mind.

when we hear the word gambling the first thing that come thru our mind is money . the gambling platform and the gambler have a money , that is why criminals will target them but the crimes that are related to gambling were only few when compared to other crime's out there  . maybe because some casinos are guarded or have a high security and gamblers are also cautios  in which criminals cannot effectively penetrate them .

Criminals are looking for money and most of the lust that people have inside needs money to gained, there's cases where gamblers got robbed
after playing common stories about big winners been victimized by this robbers around, there's also cases where gamblers who got out of money
learned to steal things to sell and gamble again, this incidents which relates to a gambling practices.

There is a correlation between gambling and crime, and we know that when somebody loses the money in gambling, he can do many things to keep playing and one thing that he can do is steal other people money so he can use that money to playing gambling games. But that does not always happen because maybe that person still has another money in his account, so he only needs to withdraw some money to continue playing gambling.

In certain situations, a gambling addict will surely find difficult conditions where he has no more fund that can be used to fulfill his gambling needs. Well, at such times, it is possible for a gambler to have a negative thought to commit a crime, whether it is misdemeanor or the serious one, because there is a strong urge to do gambling. This can happen even though the number may not be so much.

Some category of people give importance to gambling as a fun, and the same makes them spend those winnings on some activities that too will give him the pleasure. In specific they can spend on some prostitution or into some other fun factors. At some instances this leads to crime, so gambling doesn't have a crime effect but the people into gambling at times use on.

Exactly, gambling did not increase it because its already normal in every person to be more greedy and most of them was not be able to control that greed and make bad things to people. Gamblers are just want to have fun and earn money, there might be correlation psychology yes, but technically not.

Rarely gambling increases crime but there has been a few isolated cases. These cases come from violent people which may have gotten drunk and lost a lot of money in the casino so they are more suspectible to crime than other persons. That is why lately the security of casinos have improved a lot, offline casinos.

[joeperry]

Gambling or casinos are recreational activities it part of the gaming industry, in other words it is made for fun but since money is involved it's is considered as a dangerous game and risky game.

As it was defined it is a recreation activity for fun however if you exceed to your limit and became desperate to recover your loss a risk and danger may come and one thing of it is doing criminal activities, let's not go too far... a good example is here in the cryptocurrency industry if you're taking a look at some lending threads you can find a person who wants to lend an amount on purpose of wanting to recover his/her loss in a gambling game and after that he/she will disappear or "maybe" doing scams like selling illegal items, offering illegal, activities, etc.

But it's the person itself how he/she will going to handle this, we should only invest in gambling what we can afford to lose.

In rare cases right,but normally people tend to think that people who are going to casinos are bad guys who maybe drug addicts and commit many crimes in their life so these kind of thoughts were striking on people mind even if the crime is happening all over the world.But online gambling evolution may change this kind of though among the common people.

The first point of aguiment might be true in some parts of the world but I have not experience such condition here in my country. What we see here in connection with prostitution is Hotel and events center. Although my point might not be applicable to yours and every other person who must have responded in the other way round contrary to my view. But other crime such as criminality could be linked with gambling because some people may go to the extent of stealing for them to participate in gambling.

[serjent05]

Everyone has different opinions in this matter. I bet there will be no one common opinion that will rise from this thread. Me personally, I know and I believe that morality depends on every individual but,,, I believe that the absence of temptation will not cause a person to do something which he has no means in commiting. It is true, casinos are a den of robbers, prostitutes, addicted gamblers and the likes and it is there available even to those who have not yet tried. There are countries who do not even allow casinos to be launched, because they know that having it will only make way to a different kind of crimes, so my answer is "Yes", it does contribute.

It's possible to bread some criminals in a casino, even mafia was also there in case of bad situations. Casinos are the best place to do gambling and risk more money because it's very formal in there, you need to be intellectual and logical. You need to bring your own mathematical way and wait to shake out in your favor.

Since, it's a money-related place, crime is not impossible. Addiction or love in the money can cause worst situations and do some crimes. Sometimes the owner of a casino can be a mafia dealer or a druglord, since they've nothing to do in life (because they're rich enough) so i think gambling is one of their entertaining activity in life.

This can happen even though the number may not be so much.

That is what I think before because when someone doesn't have money, the first thing that is on his head is how he can get money, and the negative minds will come to him and said that stealing the money from a man in front of you will be okay. But it does not happen to all gamblers who lost their money because I think some gamblers will realize his loss and decide to leave the places and not come back in that day.

I think the crimes are always not happening in only the gambling it spread all over the world so making the gambling will be the only reason for increase of crimes will not be a right decision for my opinion.

Yes I totally agreed with that arguments,criminality’s are activated in most casinos worldwide.i remember for twice i had been approached by someone inside casino if i want slut women or even drugs so i know that this is happening inside.ofcourse they are safe to do anything inside the casino because of the securities given by corrupt government officials

Illegalities are present already since before but it came into the situation that is more rampant and very showing to the public. That's because they are protected by high rank officers in a certain place. Giving protection money and some giveaways will surely satisfying. It can be hardly to stop cause they are will established and a lot of supporters. It is between our self to stay away from those criminality's.
