Gambling is growing at nonstop rates in my country

[cellard]

Is this an isolated phenomenon or it's just where im from? I see more and more gambling commercials, tv ads, and I see more and more gambling spots all over the streets. There were casinos before but im talking about places where people take bets usually on soccer and other sports, not a classic casino with the usual casino stuff. I see they are located near high schools too. This could cause a gambling addiction epidemic among the youth, which has a hard time making money these days and feel desperate and end up gambling whatever little they make.

I claim this cannot be a simple coincidence. The rich have always gambled, but lower end classes weren't gambling that much in the past as far as I know. There weren't definitely as many gambling spots all over the place before.

I wonder what country you are in. There are countries who do not allow gambling near schools and church. Maybe the local government allowed it even when there are laws passed by the national government not to allow such operations to happen. Bottom line is blame it on corruption, it's not going to happen if the law is strictly implemented and applied to everyone.

Hey I see you have failed to mention your country, so my first question is gambling legal in your country?. If it is legal then it's natural for it to grow, and at times even government supports it, as it leads to higher revenues in taxes. I feel people love to live the thrill of putting money on their favourite teams and make easy money, while it's a shame to see they're spreading near schools you could seek the relevant authorities and bring it down.

[maydna]

I believe gambling industries have grown fast right now, people have many choices to playing gambling, and now, they don't have to visit gambling place, but they can play gambling online. I see on many websites serving ads about gambling and with the easy way, people can start playing gambling. I think it will give some bad habit for the youth and they can be an addicting person in gambling. In the end, people especially the younger people will lose all of their money, and this could trigger poverty everywhere. But in another side, I believe that people now become smart, and they can filter which is bad and good so they can choose the good things that will give benefits to them and stay away from the bad thing.

[nydiacaskey01]

It depends in the community if they will welcome such business in your country. Even if the government will allow building of such structures for casinos left and right if the people don't want it, if the people will not patronize it this business will be out of business in no time. Maybe the people there in your country welcomes such kind of business that's why they allow this kind of business and the casino owners will not approve having a casino operations in areas where they think they don't have a market.

[ralle14]

Gambling will definitely grow from different countries the only difference is how it can quickly grow so I don't think it's only from your country.

If it grows at a nonstop rate for example here in the gambling section we see a lot of casinos gets launched every month or two eventually a few will remain in operation because there's not enough money for every casino.

You mentioned that it could lead to people gambling more while I agree to this there could also be a small chance for the lower end classes to become addicted since they can't gamble for a very long time.

Probably your Government has opened up the avenue for gambling in your country. It may be possible that your government is eyeing for more tax revenue through this business because gambling is one such businesses where money makes money without having to produce anything tangible! That's a quick money churning business. But there should be an age limit to enter into this space otherwise it may have very adverse effect on the youth as you have correctly pointed out! School Kids shouldn't be allowed gambling most definitely! I assume you are from a South Asian country!

[adaseb]

In my local casinos you don't find young people gambling, its usually the middle aged and people closer to their senior years. And they usually gamble by playing slots or Bingo which some might not even consider gambling since they clearly do it to kill time.

When there is a young person they are usually there to drink and smoke and usually quit playing after they end up losing $40 or so.

Like the above posters have said, which country are you from? There might be some tax incentives and that's why you see casinos and casino ads everywhere.

It would be a good time that your economy is growing. You can see people gambling in your country is a testament that they have spare money for leisure and recreation. The bad side of it is, if it would be abused which could lead to chaos in terms of finance.

[FlightyPouch]

I can see this in our place but it is not that worst. Gambling is one of the best way to pass time especially for our elder wives. They gamble with their friends and sometimes their families, in fact this became their family bonding. It concern me since kids can see them gambling and sometimes this kids learn by watching them and that kid watching will grow used to that environment that will also raise a gambler. That will be a problem not only to his future family but to the people around him also.

From what I know, poor people gamble more than rich ones, and surely there are more gambling addicts among the poor. The main reason for that is lack of education among the poor. They believe in superstitions and frequently act against logic. So, don't worry about gambling spots located near high schools because in most cases educated people gamble rationally and never risk more than they can afford to lose, but rather worry about poor regions where people really need protection. It's too bad that the very people who need this information the most never visit places like this forum.

If gambling is illegal in your country, then it will depend on your government on how to handle commercial advertising related to gambling. There must be sanctions for such actions. But if gambling is legal in your country then it will depend on the community to stop promoting gambling near educational places.

[creeps]

Younger generations should not try to gamble because if they do, for sure they will become addict. The younger generations don’t know yet how to control their emotion. I see that in your place, the law is very weak or its just that the government don’t care at all.

Let’s just accept that this generation is different from the old times and everything is easy to be done for them, i just hope for more political will to protect its people and not just to protect their own interest. Gambling is not good for me, we should not tolerate those people behind those illegal gambling sites.

[MFahad]

I have noticed the growth of gambling in my country too and you know what's interesting? It's mostly just one website that is getting big here.  Probably because Bitcoin is getting put everywhere here and this site is based around it too.We even have a little community group for local players who visit vegascasino. I met a bunch of nice people with similar hobbies

Bitcoin has made gambling very easy and due to this many online casino are coming each day with a lot of new offers and discounts. This all will cause more people to attract towards the gambling. Gambling is one of the biggest industries in most of the places of the world.

Some 10-15 years ago sports betting was extremely popular in my country (EU), and literally at each corner you could found at least one betting shop. With time it changed in the way that a large majority of betting is now switched online, and betting shops are becoming less common + almost every coffee shop has a sports betting machine. This is problem, because it is easy for juveniles to play - no one controls sports betting machine, they take money from 7 years old as well as from 77 year old player.

Gambling and betting are always on the rise in the times of economic crises, people seeking a way out of financial problems in the wrong places. It is good time for those who play on that card, the players always lose more than they get back. I only profit from sports betting back in the days when I play, high stakes and just 2-3 events on ticket was my strategy.

I think government should take care of this if they don't want to spoil the next generation people,but in my country gambling is not much easier to go,only the people with huge money can be able to enter into the casinos that is why people choose to online casinos and they are going fine with it for now.

[cluit]

Gambling is growing all around the world, it is not just for one country. The reason for such interest increase in gambling is the economy. Right now, we are living in a world where rich control the rest, which means if you are working and living pay check to pay check you are basically a working poor.

The moment you get fired or even quit your job without finding another one you are going to have a hard time. Which means people are gambling for one reason, to get rich quick and have millions of dollars right away so they won't have to care about the implications of paychecks. Not that people just wants to be rich and not work anymore (which is still a viable goal) but also living under the risk of becoming poor is a big stress so gambling gives them a chance to get rid of the dooming stress of becoming poor.

I would never blame the casinos if there will be gambling addiction epidemic among the youth. Addiction, no matter what people are addicted to something then it is their own fault. Even if there is 1 casino in every 10 meters on your area, but if the youth are able to control themselves to stay away from it then there will be no addiction at all. One other thing to avoid addiction is that there should be strict rules from the government on who are allowed to gamble. In this case, obviously youth should not be allowed to go to casinos no matter the reason is.

Common reason for this thing to happened.

1. Government isnt strict when it comes to gambling businesses.
2. Gambling operators do extent out their business yet we know gambling industry is indeed profitable.

It appears not to be a simple coincidence but these things can happen without your notice gradually.

In fact, there are government officials who does gambling. How ironic isn't it? Those who says not to do it, restricting us to do it are the ones who do it. Officials are prohibited to do gambling so they find ways how to do it and one example is asking other people to do it for them. They just give the money for betting and that's it!

Gambling in lower end classes is possible now because there are gambling games that are much less costly in casinos. They could easily choose a place where authorities can't see them and then gamble with cards, animals, sports and etc.

[maydna]

A fact that we all want to have fun in life so that's why we play gambling so that's really non-stop even we lose still there's a lot of good option before we take risk like we can use bet a little money so that's affordable or we try to have knowledge and for fun only then a bad things is you can turn addict by gambling so better to always think and control yourself

Yes, it is why we need to take care of our money when we are playing gambling and don't let the gambling ruin our lives and take all our money. But I realize that controlling ourselves will be the most important in gambling because this is what we need to do if we don't want to lose the money. But I think it is better to search another thing to get fun than playing gambling because the risk of gambling can make us addicted and the younger people should know and aware of this.

[swogerino]

When I watch a soccer game in the internet through British television because I like their commentary of the game before the game begins, during half time break and after the game ends I see a lot of ads and the majority of them are for gambling websites where the lead is from Betfair website.

Probably in England betting is a way of life compared to other countries.

If that happens to my country, it will be immediately dealt with by the security forces, I don't know where your country is but with this incident it will definitely damage morale many young people are still in their infancy and they cannot control their emotions well. If the place where gambling is indeed official, there is indeed a regulation to be able to visit it, but if it is illegal gambling places then it is very worrying.

That's why I think it's always better for people in general if such businesses as gambling and prostitution are legal and regulated. In the places where it is illegal it is still thriving in many cases only doing more harm to the state and to the individuals in particular. People under age of 18 shouldn't be allowed to gamble, but no one cares if it's illegal anyway.

[royalfestus]

people dont go into gambling because of the money or gain or wins, they go into it because of the addiction. Gamblers always have a terrible hope even when losing, they are always looking for the last trial probably it will be their time to win. percentage of winning in gambling is always low, which they keep like that and thats where some people earn. they earn in the high percentage of gambling loss. Gambling is increasing from country to country and younger men are joining the queue daily.

Most people started gambling because they want money,once they are gambling daily or short term period then they are getting addicted to it.

Once the people understand gambling is not profitable in long term then they won't get into it but who is going to do that when governments looking for the revenue from the gambling places.

Although gambling industry is no doubt really active here, there is no such thing as more exposures on commercials, ads or even on billboards. Gambling is regulated in our country and no need for such advertisements due to the fact that the society is used to it. Even those unregulated ones are active here.

Maybe there is something going on there lol.

If the casino is legally operated, there should be a restrictions like age limit etc. Most physical casinos (in your case a sports bettings one) does have KYC's or for just a passerby, there will be show ID proof or something along those lines etc. so for those youth to breached the restriction, they have to face a quiet hassle method. Take note also of the deposit options so I think it can't attract youths.

[izanagi narukami]

It seems that your government did not make any regulation against gambling so it can spread anywhere at your place.
The story is different is you're stay at my country where you will got caught by police if you're operating gambling website let say on your house.

If you worried about your environement that able be cause by gambling, you can make petition for your government so they can notice before it's too late

[leowonderful]

There's just one major casino near me, and though I don't watch much television anymore, it doesn't seem like gambling is growing too quickly in my municipality, nor much in the US as a whole in the news. Online gambling's definitely growing, although this recent crypto bear market has lessened some of this growth. Just seems to me that more and more people are trying to avoid KYC and various other means of verification through gambling online with casinos that accept cryptocurrency though.

I would not agree with your statement that in England betting is way of life when compared to other countries, in fact it has become very popular in the whole world (where it is allowed) for a simple reason - it is very profitable for the one who owns it. Only online gambling market is worth today around 50$ billion, and by 2020 an increase is anticipated to 60$ billion, and this is only online - total market is much bigger.

This is an industry that is growing at incredible speed, and by some statistic leading countries or areas of the world are USA and Asia-Pacific region.

I didn't know that there can be gambling advertisements in your local TV Channel. I think it promotes the wrong things and maybe the kids who are watching would be influenced by it. That's not a good thing, especially for the parents. That's not allowed in my country, or just even in public. If people saw other people playing cards, they would easily think they are gambling. I think it's just that people are judgmental in a way.

Maybe the government wants to influence them and give more power to gambling rather than infrastructure projects and other stuff. They are probably prioritizing it, including the media and radio channels.

[freedomgo]

Gambling is growing because of the demand, and nowadays it's easy to gamble due to the advent of Crypto.
Personally, I don't see anything bad about that, I call that development or progress, it could create jobs and give gamblers an entertain.
As long as people will also become matured and responsible in gambling, gambling will be appreciated as it can also help the government through tax generation.

I am also living in a gambling regulated country (not fully prohibited), but I am also noticing lots of new commercials on TV about gambling. It is not a good thing for new generations but I wonder why my government is allowing them. No one can do about online gambling's evolution and their spreading to all types of generations but governments must act against promoting gambling in most reaching media.

Now a days, all the governments are looking for revenue generations a rather than looking for having intelligent citizen. They just want a busy citizen so that he will not ask questions but will pay taxes.

It must be a bad sign for a society without any arguments. It may create jobs for few but will make thousands jobless. Gambling will give negative development for a society as the consequence of gambling addictions will push people to forget their social and family responsibilities. Gambling is kind of business which should be a heavily regulated all the times by governments and it should not be promoted publicly.

As long as people will also become matured and responsible in gambling, gambling will be appreciated as it can also help the government through tax generation.

You are expecting so much from gamblers or you are just not aware of the dangers of gambling addictions. Governments are allowing gambling industry just for the reason of tax generation but they are not at considering the negative impacts of gambling . That is really a pathetic situation even in developed countries.

Now a days, all the governments are looking for revenue generations a rather than looking for having intelligent citizen. They just want a busy citizen so that he will not ask questions but will pay taxes.

That is right. This is the reason why they allow prostitution and not controlling trades of drugs. I guess at least 40% men in world population must be addicted to either of one of these three.

[eternalgloom]

I've noticed the same in my country and it's been increasing the last couple of years.
I think it started after the whole poker craze from a few years ago, you would see poker games being broadcasted and they would be accompagnied by gambling adverts.

After the poker craze stopped, the regular gambling ads remained. Now you see a lot of advertisements for casinos everywhere.
In train stations, on billboards and on tv. This is in Belgium btw. 

[Indamuck]

Due to the harsh nature of capitalism many people are stuck in poverty for the rest of their lives and the only way they see to achieve wealth is the lottery.  It's pretty sad that people see the lottery as their only hope as achieving wealth in their lifetime.  The business world is cutthroat and the majority of new businesses fail.

It started to grow rapidly because the use of Internet is quite new, in the 1990s the Internet wasn't a term that everyone knew what it meant.

And since we have barely passed 20-30 years since then - the world of online gambling is still at its infancy, and thus - you get addiction problems and more.

It's a sad state of affairs however we want to call it, there are few winners (the owners) and tons of losers.

This sounds like Vegas to me, though the difference is that people in Vegas are definitely rich but I am quite blown away whit what I heard that not only the rich gambles here but also the poor? now it sounds like not only rich places but also slum places wherein some gambling events occur here, and I can say that some 3rd world countries have this kind of happenings, though the OP was not able to state it.

Your country is a lot different than mine but the same can be said that the gambling industry is still growing in my country, Philippines. Even though in my country where it is prohibited by law to advertise casinos they still manage to attract a lot of people not only the ones residing in the country but even foreigners who's only purpose in visiting the country is to gamble. From a wide variety of addicting games such as slot machines, baccarat, and poker tables as well as free drinks and food there is no wonder that it even attracts people in the middle class and below.

It may had flourish due to the help of the government as well, what I have seen lately is a lot of foreign companies are trying to build up their own casino/hotel in the country which are located not only near in our airports but also in our tourist spots. They have actually encouraged this in order to attract foreign investment in the country where the ownership is always split 60/40 where 60% is the stake of their local partner.

Your country is a lot different than mine but the same can be said that the gambling industry is still growing in my country, Philippines. Even though in my country where it is prohibited by law to advertise casinos they still manage to attract a lot of people not only the ones residing in the country but even foreigners who's only purpose in visiting the country is to gamble. From a wide variety of addicting games such as slot machines, baccarat, and poker tables as well as free drinks and food there is no wonder that it even attracts people in the middle class and below.

It may had flourish due to the help of the government as well, what I have seen lately is a lot of foreign companies are trying to build up their own casino/hotel in the country which are located not only near in our airports but also in our tourist spots. They have actually encouraged this in order to attract foreign investment in the country where the ownership is always split 60/40 where 60% is the stake of their local partner.

Lottery is a type of gambling where there is less risk but you can win a big amount of money, however, the chance of winning is very low.
People can afford the ticket as it's cheap but nowadays since the online gambling is also growing it brings a lot of lottery games online and this will probaly attract more gamblers, so if one cannot control his gambling activity, it will surely bring bad effect unto him.

I've noticed the same in my country and it's been increasing the last couple of years.
I think it started after the whole poker craze from a few years ago

It started to grow rapidly because the use of Internet is quite new, in the 1990s the Internet wasn't a term that everyone knew what it meant.

And since we have barely passed 20-30 years since then - the world of online gambling is still at its infancy, and thus - you get addiction problems and more.

It's a sad state of affairs however we want to call it, there are few winners (the owners) and tons of losers.

This has become a business that leads the owner, the owner only needs to have a large roll with an unbeatable house system, who is the rich who does not want a business that guarantees this big profit, moreover gambling sites on the internet do not need special permission, thats why this gambling business is growing very fast on the internet..

Unbeatable house system, you say? If gambling is made people just to lose money, than no one would gamble, house has an advantage, but in the end you have your chances to win in some game, depending on how you play it, how big bankroll you have it, maybe you can beat the house, there are chances. Many people who speak about gambling here on bitcointalk never gambled in their life, what people should know that gambling isnt just game of losing, you can win, and people win in gambling generally, but the ones who win dont talk about it so much, the ones who are losing are more loudly and you can find people crying about losing everywhere.

What is the unique specialty/ difference with lottery ? I believe there will be nothing as lottery is another pure way of gambling still many governments allow to suck innocent people's hard earn money. You may gamble with less risk in dicing and you may win but lottery sounds like a non-gambling thing for many countries till now.

People can afford the ticket as it's cheap but nowadays since the online gambling is also growing it brings a lot of lottery games online and this will probaly attract more gamblers, so if one cannot control his gambling activity, it will surely bring bad effect unto him.

Yes, this is the reason that I never agree to be lenient against any gambling. All gambling are dangerous in its own way. Never should expect as a harmless. But, worldwide many governments are not ready to accept these.

Generally in gambling house has more edge than the players but it doesn't mean that it can't be won,there are lot of people who won lot of money from gambling and become millionaires so don't blame the system but when you don't want to risk money in gambling then you are not going to win anything as well.Simly if you are lucky you can win that is what gambling is meant for.

[milewilda]

Is this an isolated phenomenon or it's just where im from? I see more and more gambling commercials, tv ads, and I see more and more gambling spots all over the streets. There were casinos before but im talking about places where people take bets usually on soccer and other sports, not a classic casino with the usual casino stuff. I see they are located near high schools too. This could cause a gambling addiction epidemic among the youth, which has a hard time making money these days and feel desperate and end up gambling whatever little they make.

I claim this cannot be a simple coincidence. The rich have always gambled, but lower end classes weren't gambling that much in the past as far as I know. There weren't definitely as many gambling spots all over the place before.

Common reason for this thing to happened.

1. Government isnt strict when it comes to gambling businesses.
2. Gambling operators do extent out their business yet we know gambling industry is indeed profitable.

It appears not to be a simple coincidence but these things can happen without your notice gradually.

In fact, there are government officials who does gambling. How ironic isn't it? Those who says not to do it, restricting us to do it are the ones who do it. Officials are prohibited to do gambling so they find ways how to do it and one example is asking other people to do it for them. They just give the money for betting and that's it!

Gambling in lower end classes is possible now because there are gambling games that are much less costly in casinos. They could easily choose a place where authorities can't see them and then gamble with cards, animals, sports and etc.

Sad reality but this is really happening nowadays.The people who do ones do restrict out are the ones who do abuse since they do know that they can really make themselves immune
and make money out of it.This do exist on corrupt countries and no surprise. Yes, there are lots of gambling games that doesnt require big bankroll thats why these gambling
places is really easy to widespread.

I think there is a difference between lottery and other types of gambling. Normally people buy one lottery ticket worth of $1-$2 in hopes of winning big in case of big luck, but they rarely spend more than they afford to lose on the lottery tickets. Yes, there are such people, but those cases are rare, and imo such people need professional help because it is really insane to spend all you have on lottery tickets while your win chance is still much less than 1%. I think that lottery is the least addictive form of gambling and that's why it is allowed almost everywhere, but I would like to see some other opinions, because what I say is not a proven fact.

You have not seen a common man who is buying 10 or even 25 lottery tickets at a time ? For an addicted gambler there is no limit for spending in gambling. They always spend beyond their affordable level. If you check in freebitco.in, you can find most of the people are buying lottery tickets in 100s. We can see only the winners, there could be thousands of others who tried in 1000s too.

I'm not seeing lottery as a different gambling type. It is one of the typical gambling type and it is more addictive as it will be giving you the hope of winning at the every attempt.

This is true , there used be a person in my town who bought like 50 tickets at once every single week . It costed him around 1000 bucks I guess and he used to win once in a month , just pennies but he still used to buy more .

That's right, chances of winning a really good prize, like a million dollar Jackpot, are extremely slim in the lottery, and actually I think everybody is aware of that fact, people are not so stupid in general. But there are many of the smaller prizes, from $2 to $20, which have been won by thousands of people each time the lottery takes place. I think that people who buy tickets by thousands presume on winning as much of those as possible, and on getting even, at least, in case of not winning the highest prize. But that's a stupid idea anyway, and in most cases such people lose their money.

I think the very idea of "increasing your chances" is a dangerous one, and is something which should be avoided because that particular state of mind makes one an addicted gambler eventually.

It depends upon country to country. In many places including my place, Gambling is prohibited and there you will not find any gambling casino here. For those who want to gamble, can only do so online. Overall online gambling is increasing worldwide.

[SirLancelot]

In many places including my place, Gambling is prohibited and there you will not find any gambling casino here. For those who want to gamble, can only do so online. Overall online gambling is increasing worldwide.

When gambling is legally prohibited in your country then online gambling also should not be allowed to your country people in direct accessing (government cannot do anything about accessing internet through bypassing methods) but internet censoring is not happening effectively in most gambling prohibited lands due to various reasons.

This is the exact state of gambling in my country too. Government is not fully controlling gambling as sports betting and lotteries are taking place in my country along with online gambling are easily accessible without need of any proxies.

I am enjoying various gambling due to lenient prohibitions but I always worry about teenagers and  addicted gamblers who are all always losing money in gambling but keep gambling without caring about the final consequences. I want my government to ban all types of gambling in near future but not finding any sign for that so far.

[AB de Royse777]

1. Government isnt strict when it comes to gambling businesses.

Government wants to assure that your money is in the safe hand. These procedures basically eliminate the frauds.

Imagine everyone is launching their own gambling business without having a valid background check. Frauds will take the chances and will walkaway with your money even without letting you playing with your money.

PS: Although gambling means losing your money. It's an industry where you are meant to lose the money and the house is going to take your money.

Isn't that what has been happening from the beginning of times? No government can regulate gambling to the extent of eliminating frauds entirely. I think there is no such country, even taking the North Korea into consideration, were gambling is properly regulated. The scam artists are plentiful even under dictatorship regimes. That's why we need provably fair system in the first place. You don't have to rely on anyone's honesty, you don't have to trust anybody, you should be able to check the fairness any time you want.

the growth of gambling are increasing everyday because gambling attracts all offers because of the value falling if gambling attract people to continue gamble because of the value will not grow up again they need to get more money in your shortcut that's why people choose gambling is the best way but my opinion is gambling is there entertainment one so we cannot think gambling is our life.

You are just reflecting the mindset of a common man of most of the countries against gambling. But, we could not do anything exactly for this unless otherwise government will be initiating more awareness for the sake of protecting their new generation from gambling problems. But, we cannot expect government will be taking care of each and every aspect of the common man, that is the reason it will be always good to have this kind of forum for enlightening ourselves.

We may go for spreading awareness against gambling in our society are within a city. Other than that we cannot do anything about it when government is not up to our expectation for our welfare.

[dupee419]

I think that there are really some countries that gambling is getting out of hand, there are places as well that no matter what the status is, whether if it is a rich area or a poor area I think that gambling activities will still happen no matter what the status is, the main aspect here is what we call "influence", if the influencer shows this, the crowd will follow, same with BTC and how people promotes it, if gambling starts in this place, gambling will spread in other areas as well, though this is entirely a problem, its just that people may gamble in a wrong manner and will end up blasting their finances and blow their budget off, and if this happens its going to be a domino effect.

[huhhuh18]

I used to tell my friends everyday that gambling will be the next thing to implode lol. The rate at which it's growing is so bad and since gambling sites have been profiting from it, they won't rest. Not at all, they'll continue to lure people to throw their money away. They'll say play with caution but we all know you can't play with caution once you're there.

We cant deny the fact that gambling is part of our daily life. Ofcourse its all about the money. Gambling sites owner gave them a offer that they cant resist , Gamblers just choose them because of the offers because they want to play and to earn money. Its all about the money they seek and the owner wants to get some money from the players they been lured out. Money/Valuables is the main reason why gambling has been invented

[Oceat]

I think it is not just in your country, because gambling could be everywhere if there is no one stepping to stop it then it will continue to grow. But on one point, these casinos are helping in the economy of their own country. And with the right rules and regulations, everything could be beneficial in the economy despite the bad habits that could bring to the youngster.

[Pmalek]

Gamblers in my country used to come from the higher social classes, peopled who could afford to lose and had fun doing it, but that has changed in recent years. It is the lower classes that now represent the majority in betting shops all around town. There are regulations such as betting shops cant be located near Primary schools but they dont really pay that much attention to it in my area.

Yeah, even in my country the gambling is growing and you can see a lot of casinos everywhere you go. This is really good to boost our economy and it can increase the tourist level if the government is able to regulate well those casinos. We also have a lot of carnivals where you can also gamble, especially during holidays and you can see that a lot of people are playing, and hoping that they can win some money.

I have seen people spending their shopping money in gambling. After 8 hour shifts when they get the cash in hand they to go to the bookies and spend them all in roulette. After working the whole week they get £400 in hand and spend all in few hours max. Then they come back home and plan for the next week.

These days gambling is much easier because of the online casinos. It's better with cryptocurrency. You do not even need to verify your identity.

[Johnyz]

Gamblers is growing in my place where even teenagers are already gambling in any way. At a younger stage here in my place, many are already used to bet in some online sites against their friend especially the game “Dota”. It can consider gambling since you are playing to win the money. This is really alarming and the government should take responsibilities on this one and make a strong regulations, we should prevent those teenagers to become addict on that game and sacrifice their studies just to play with it.

Gambling cant boost the countries economic and tourist level because tourist arent arent attracted to it  . what attracts them is the scenery or the landmarks . you did also mention carnivals,  afaik carnivals are not casinos or gambling because they are purely consist of rides like feris wheel , merry go round , bump cars , etc  .  

On our country gambling isnt really growing because it is restricted but online gamblings are the ones that are indemand here because we are free to play it without getting jailed .

Well, there are groups that stopping it, the ones that don't agree really with the idea of gambling in the country but they can't stop it. There are a lot of gamblers out there and even if they ban Bitcoin in their country, they will always find a way to gamble all their money. Instead, the government just made a way that these gambling places make a profit and that is the same as the government, they added more tax to casinos, well that is as benefit to the country and the gamblingg places or casinos.

There were casinos before but im talking about places where people take bets usually on soccer and other sports, not a classic casino with the usual casino stuff.

Probably that case is only isolated in your country because gambling stuffs here are not as lively as yours. Furthermore, I think it will not continue spreading anymore during the current administration because our president really hate and want to eradicate the oligarchy of online casinos here.
Anyway, I think there's nothing wrong if the gambling community there is growing as long as your government strictly implement rules and regulations to be followed. Besides, they can get taxes from casinos and later be used to improved the infrastructures and public services in your country.

I see they are located near high schools too. This could cause a gambling addiction epidemic among the youth, which has a hard time making money these days and feel desperate and end up gambling whatever little they make.

Okay, this where the problem starts. This is a serious problem that need to be addressed. Imagine, if adults who are more intellectual still became addicts then what more for the curious teenagers? I guess the best solution to avoid this is to educate the youth about the bad effects of gambling and at the same time abolish the casinos near places where minors are utmost.

Governments only looking for the revenue so they are going to accept in what way they are going to come so they have allowed more casinos in your country it has many disadvantages.Which is not like online gambling playing in real life casino will give more contact to peaople and we may get addicted to drugs or drinking and much more when we have with those kind of people.

Not all governments have the same perspective on casino either online or a real casino, there are some places they did not tolerate people on engaging casinos especially those people prohibited to their religion. Online casino I think that is now fastest growing because a lot of people can gamble hiding from someone even the authorities or their families.

[Jating]

I think it is not just in your country, because gambling could be everywhere if there is no one stepping to stop it then it will continue to grow. But on one point, these casinos are helping in the economy of their own country. And with the right rules and regulations, everything could be beneficial in the economy despite the bad habits that could bring to the youngster.

Yeah, even in my country the gambling is growing and you can see a lot of casinos everywhere you go. This is really good to boost our economy and it can increase the tourist level if the government is able to regulate well those casinos. We also have a lot of carnivals where you can also gamble, especially during holidays and you can see that a lot of people are playing, and hoping that they can win some money.

Gambling business can really stir the economy somewhat but I wanted to say that at least a proper government regulations should be in place specially not accepting 18 years old and below. I also seen lots of young people gambling and you can hear horrible stories that some of them are force to steal other people's money just to continue their gambling habits. Sad to hear but it's true, specially from impoverish or slums area in my place.

[samcrypto]

Nice to hear so, recently  there are so many countries that have gradually prevent and stop the activities of gambling in their country which has lead so many casinos owners out of business. I'm not fullyly disputing the actions cause I guess their government might have their reasons. Cause, there are some gamblers who bring negative impact in gambling by becoming addictive making it looks as if gambling is an evil deeds.

I heard that too and here in my place many casinos plans to expand their business and yet they are being prevented by the government because of permit issues. Still you will see many gamblers are in the casinos playing their favorite game and you can recognize their the volume of gambler everyday is really increasing and I think its hard to control it.

[ethereumhunter]

I think we know that gambling has grown too fast now and in all countries, the gambling places were open although, in some country, the government prohibited their people from playing gambling. But I am sure people still go to the gambling place even with secretly and they use the money to gamble because gambling gives them the opportunity to make fast money. It makes people attracted to try and although they know about the chances to win is smaller than the lost, they still playing without thinking about their life.

[luispitchler]

if that is the case, then the national government should be clear in the policies to regulate such gambling activities.  then, the local government should adhere to these otherwise your country will only have gambling as its foremost industry.

[UmerIdrees]

~
Government wants to assure that your money is in the safe hand. These procedures basically eliminate the frauds.

Imagine everyone is launching their own gambling business without having a valid background check. Frauds will take the chances and will walkaway with your money even without letting you playing with your money.
~

Isn't that what has been happening from the beginning of times? No government can regulate gambling to the extent of eliminating frauds entirely. I think there is no such country, even taking the North Korea into consideration, were gambling is properly regulated. The scam artists are plentiful even under dictatorship regimes. That's why we need provably fair system in the first place. You don't have to rely on anyone's honesty, you don't have to trust anybody, you should be able to check the fairness any time you want.

the growth of gambling are increasing everyday because gambling attracts all offers because of the value falling if gambling attract people to continue gamble because of the value will not grow up again they need to get more money in your shortcut that's why people choose gambling is the best way but my opinion is gambling is there entertainment one so we cannot think gambling is our life.

One aspect of gambling is that one can earn a lot of money pretty quickly through gambling. Although there is a risk involved but reward is too much that many people try their luck with gambling.  In most under-developed countries, where there are few employment opportunities, people tend to try gambling to change their faith. That's one reason why gambling is increasing all over the world.

[Johnzky]

Is this an isolated phenomenon or it's just where im from? I see more and more gambling commercials, tv ads, and I see more and more gambling spots all over the streets. There were casinos before but im talking about places where people take bets usually on soccer and other sports, not a classic casino with the usual casino stuff. I see they are located near high schools too. This could cause a gambling addiction epidemic among the youth, which has a hard time making money these days and feel desperate and end up gambling whatever little they make.

I claim this cannot be a simple coincidence. The rich have always gambled, but lower end classes weren't gambling that much in the past as far as I know. There weren't definitely as many gambling spots all over the place before.

Hey I see you have failed to mention your country, so my first question is gambling legal in your country?. If it is legal then it's natural for it to grow, and at times even government supports it, as it leads to higher revenues in taxes. I feel people love to live the thrill of putting money on their favourite teams and make easy money, while it's a shame to see they're spreading near schools you could seek the relevant authorities and bring it down.

For sure gambling is legal in he’s country since OP had mentioned of advertising all over the place where he lived in,but the guy above also corrects that in most of the country’s all over the world gambling is prohibited in near by schools and churches,let me guess that OP is from asian country because this likes from where i belong .

[Pmalek]

The rent for casinos and betting shops is higher in my town than for other businesses but this still doesn't stop business premises to be mostly used for gambling activities. Even with much higher rent they are making a killing and they are always full. People like to gamble and that is a fact.

One thing that made gambling easier are electronic payment services, credit cards etc. You dont see the money physically, it is only a number on a computer screen and therefore it doesn't mean as much as when you have money in your hands. You dont have a feeling of how much you lost or won.

In recent time gambling will play an important role in the major people who interested in investing on cryptocurrency when the price of  cryptocurrency was low gambling become very popular in all over the world it is because of more people get interested to get more income in short period of time that's why gambling will grow more in recent time.

[detector]

Actually the government really play the main role for any regulation that working on the country.
When gambling growing non stop, it means that your government may still not working any regulation or already legalize gambling.
It's great opportunity for people who seek more gambling industry especially when cryptocurrency also join the party !

Yeah, in my place the government is not that strict in terms of regulating casinos that’s why many new casinos are already in place. This growth can actually boost the number of tourist and its actually happening now since many foreign people are already playing in most of the casinos. Its ok to do business like this as long as you are following the rules of the government.

Right.It's also happening in my country.Gambling has become rampant because it's also supported by the government.Especially in lottery,more people have been addicted to this because the prize at stake keeps growing making its worth definitely a huge amount.Even myself make a lot of gambling but i also make sure i only gamble the amount i can afford to lose.

There are a lot of reasons that a government might ban something that they cannot control. They want to regulate it probably because they want to have a part in it and secondly, I think they are trying to help people who cannot control themselves in gambling, restricting them would be a lot of help to the future of those people.

I don't believe that there are people who are addicted to the lottery because the chances of winning there are really minuscule. I want to rephrase this as, people who believe in the impossible. Investing in something they have no certainty. Believers in that. Respect.

[goaldigger]

Its December and we can see the increase number of gamblers and casinos as a seasonal phenomenon, which we all know that December is the month where people have plenty of money to get some leisures and to gamble. If the increase number of gamblers continue to soar after the month then we could consider that your theory is correct.

I don't think gambling is popular in under developed county. When people have money they can try options but when they don't have much to live then their options are limited. I guess westerners are the targeted customers for gambling industry.

I don't know if you have heard about Macau in Asia or 3 big casinos in the Philippines. So it's not just westerners' but big Asian whales as well are the main target now of the gambling industry.

That's why this sort of consortium of gambling company are willing to open to 3rd world countries to operate and the government are willing to cooperate because of the the tax or even to attract tourist.

I claim this cannot be a simple coincidence. The rich have always gambled, but lower end classes weren't gambling that much in the past as far as I know. There weren't definitely as many gambling spots all over the place before.

I can think of at least two things that this is happening in your country. First of all, it is true that lower end classes weren't gambling so much. The reason why they gamble more now is that they became poorer. The global wealth is accumulated to little people so the poor class tries to gain their losses by gambling. It is reasonable but they will probably be poorer eventually.
And also, during Christmas holidays casinos do aggressive marketing in order to attract customers. It is the most active period of sales for them.

Well here in our country the number of gamblers does not determine by the season. It is because we have inherit it to the Spanish people long time ago who came to colonize our country. The main gambling activity that were already legalize in other areas were cock fighting, the implementation of casino games and many more. There were still illegal gambling activities yet it could not stop because of the addiction of the people to gambling activities. So, there is no reason also for cryptocurrency to integrate gambling. Thanks to some team that has brought gambling activity to the use of cryptocurrency.

Although the gambling itself is not popular in the under-develop country, I think some people still playing gambling because they believe that they can earn money with fast. People will play in the hidden place, and they will play the traditional gambling only because this is what they did.

Natural to think that rich people would really have the advantage when it comes to play gambling with high volume due to their financial capacity compared to poor ones but it doesnt really matter at all
because neither you are rich or poor you are both playing gambling and spending or losing it the only difference is the volume and the place you are playing. Results or outcomes would be still just
the same specially when you got addicted.On OP situation where gambling places becoming rampant then theres no doubt that government do support it because of some benefit.

I don't know anything about Singapore but you are very wrong if you think poor people don't gamble as much as rich people.

It is the exact opposite and I mean It.

Poor people in my country, they don't know how to stop. Actually I suspecting that they don't know the meaning of the word "stop". They'll play till they lose everything they got and they'll be trying again the same in the next month after they find new money and this goes like this forever.

Rich people on the other hand, they gamble for fun. They exactly know what they are doing and how much money they will be losing. They know when to stop and that's how manage to stay rich after the game. Gambling is just another way to spend time for rich people. It is like paying for watching TV or a movie. They know they won't be getting any richer by playing, they just want to pass the time!

You can't just say that they would increase every December because there are certain of times that they will grow not just in the casino, but to some local gambling area. There are countries that they celebrate the festival and the gambling places will be full of people playing. Though we really can't stop them from playing especially every day, it has something to do with the government if they want to stop that gambling business or not.

But it looks like they are also earning from this so for me the government will still support that and gambling sites/casinos will grow more. We can gamble at any season, maybe its just happen that many gambler prepared to gamble more during holidays especially in december since they have earn more money during this month or they just want to spend their money to cut their money and pay small taxes only.

[shield132]

OP if it's not secret, where are you from? Or at least is that country/place poor area? Usually in normal countries where you expect that everything is fine but in reality country has low level of education + people are poor, they start to play casinos. They think that's very easy way to earn money and since there is possibility to bet low and win high with high risk, they don't care about it. Also they think that with deposited 1 usd they'll win 10 usd then withdraw, buy cigarette and etc (I took usd as an example). That's their logic and everyday life, then they say shit words on how bad life is, don't want work, don't want study, only unlimited source of moeny, life isn't like that. Those casinos take their chances and expand as much as possibly because it brings them an extra and a lot of profit.

I don't know much about the world of gambling or its development, which clearly I think of gamblers as synonymous with rich people who hold a lot of money, that looks like the tradition entertainment till many more addicts and provides a lot of media for gambling.

You are totally wrong, that mindset is so old. Back in the days, I just heard that before people can enter into a casino, you need to have this "show money". The way I understand it, gamblers (usually rich) will have to show some form of money (usually minimum) before you can play.

But now, there's no more of that, even ordinary people can go to a casino, grab some freebies, watch the show and go around for winning players that might give him a tip, and can go home with money in his pocket.

[FlightyPouch]

Well, not all of the gamblers out there are rich even though there are, obviously a lot of rich gamblers, most of them are just having fun, entertaining themselves through the use of gambling. Poor people and not the people at the middle class also gambles the difference is that the more that individual is close to the middle class, the more they are getting addicted to gambling.

I cannot understand the notion that only rich people can gamble. Yes they are capable because of their money but right now I see more middle class person as well digging into gambling maybe to have some fun with friends or just as pastime or just wanted to win big. I think Singapore has a very strict law in terms of gambling just like in my country, but boy there are a lot of illegal gambling dens around here as well.

Can you tell where exact location because i am really curious, as i know only two gambling capital in the world the whole city are open for all kind of gambling in the city.
If not wrong according to the new i heard the two gambling capital city is came from asia  at china locatted  in macau and united states of america at las vegas city.

Yes, I agree with you. They will make many gambling places in any country which gambling is allowing so they can get much money from the gambling business. They realize that people like to gamble with the games and gambling is one of the entertainment in all country.

For places like srilanka, where fee is more for entrance in gambling or places where gambling in prohibited, the best option is to do online gambling. Using bitcoin in online gambling makes it almost impossible for the government to track who is gambling or not.

That is what I heard from my friends in other country which gambling is prohibited and they still playing gambling using private VPN. As long as there are any online gambling, they can play in everywhere they want using the VPN.

I mean only rich people who can go to the casinos and gamble and for the poor people they could still gamble but in the different places and only them will know where the places are. I don't know about how strictly Singapore regarding gambling, but I am sure that people from all country were playing gambling too especially with the illegal gambling because people really like to get a challenge from the gambling and they want to take a risk from gambling.

I don't know much about the world of gambling or its development, which clearly I think of gamblers as synonymous with rich people who hold a lot of money, that looks like the tradition entertainment till many more addicts and provides a lot of media for gambling.

Not true. Poor people tend to gamble more in comparison to the rich people. Just consider that any Lotto Kiosk that opens it target to be placed in poor neighborhoods for the reason that they will have more profits as the poors gamble more.

Is this an isolated phenomenon or it's just where im from? I see more and more gambling commercials, tv ads, and I see more and more gambling spots all over the streets. There were casinos before but im talking about places where people take bets usually on soccer and other sports, not a classic casino with the usual casino stuff. I see they are located near high schools too. This could cause a gambling addiction epidemic among the youth, which has a hard time making money these days and feel desperate and end up gambling whatever little they make.

I claim this cannot be a simple coincidence. The rich have always gambled, but lower end classes weren't gambling that much in the past as far as I know. There weren't definitely as many gambling spots all over the place before.

Local gambling places are very greedy. But that's also because governments are greedy too, they want the taxes. These local places to gamble add high margin on the odds, which secure a big winning for them, and for the national tax office as well.

Most average Joe do not realize this and go gamble on Sunday, during their free time. They do not realize much better places exist on the Internet. Advertisings are very effective to attract casual gamblers who know very little about this field.

For most Rich people, they are just dealing with this activity to have some social life and to have some fun with their colleagues, they are taking some time to chat with friends or relatives while enjoying the games that they are playing, while poor people take this as a game of chances, when lucks permits them it can be an easy earned money making activity, while if they losses they will keep try recovering / winning back and repeat it from time to time.

But from a government's view, they should bother about the consequence of having gambling and they should not have different opinion based on our wealth status. I mean to say it's not okay to have more gambling houses when rich people are not getting suffered and only poor people keep trying with gambling then why should bother about banning gambling. A government should work for all the people. Allowing gambling even they are aware of how people are suffering must be kind of dictator ruling.

A country's gambling industry should be under high level of monitoring and the growth of number of houses should be regulated to have minimum number of houses. But, I'm not sure how many governments are working this way for taking care of their citizen's health and wealth.

 every people wants to play gambling India life because gambling is more attractive for attracting every people that's why gambling will improve day by day in all over the world is gambling will increase it is also very good to improve something better.

In most under-developed countries, where there are few employment opportunities, people tend to try gambling to change their faith. That's one reason why gambling is increasing all over the world.

I don't think gambling is popular in under developed county. When people have money they can try options but when they don't have much to live then their options are limited. I guess westerners are the targeted customers for gambling industry.

Yeah, they don't want to use the money for just gamble because they must buy their needs. Although the gambling itself is not popular in the under-develop country, I think some people still playing gambling because they believe that they can earn money with fast. People will play in the hidden place, and they will play the traditional gambling only because this is what they did.

Generally, rich people are the ones that gambles a lot. Some poor people gamble too but with limited volume and are mostly betting with their friends and locals. Some countries like Singapore imposed high entrance fees on their local citizens when entering casinos.

No, I don't think so because rich people want to increase their wealth by investing in many places. But some of them like to gambles and spend their money for fun only. So both rich people and poor people like to gamble and risk their money to get more money. Whoa, if in Singapore imposed high entrance fees, then the poor people can only gamble in the dark area which is free without paying any fee.

I cannot understand the notion that only rich people can gamble. Yes they are capable because of their money but right now I see more middle class person as well digging into gambling maybe to have some fun with friends or just as pastime or just wanted to win big. I think Singapore has a very strict law in terms of gambling just like in my country, but boy there are a lot of illegal gambling dens around here as well.

I think its wrong to say there is only one type of person who is
gambling. Gambling is advertised everywhere and advertised
heavily in soccer in the U.K for instance.

People in the middle class gamble for sure as well as people
from poorer classes. It offers a chance for a potentially small
stake to make big gains.

Right now every class of people have begun to spend on gambling. Everything is money focused, also the middle class keeps them prepared to accept loss and enjoy winning. Once gambling is rich people's, but now with the cryptocurrency into gambling any small amount is possible. This has lead more low level and middle class people get into gambling and try their luck and their strategical knowledge on different games.

The thing is, in the UK betting on anything is possible because it is cultural. It is the same in Las Vegas (obviously), for some reason betting is much more popular in Greece than in Italy (not sure why), there are differences in Europe that I fail to explain.

In other cultures it is a sin to gamble (Israel I think, please correct me if I am wrong). So if I take the example of the UK, I think people who bet there have a lot of money, they do it for fun, just casual betting. In Asian countries however, people prefer to go to Casinos, but it is often illegal, most do it underground.

Honestly no, just due to the reason of being corrupted politicians based governments. Gambling industry is a good resource of generating more taxes and that is the reason most of the governments are preferring to have them regardless of they are well aware of consequence of having gambling like how their people will be suffering due to gambling. They are just leaving the responsibility into people but you should be government's responsibility for the sake of welfare of their own people.

Poor people tend to gamble more in comparison to the rich people. Just consider that any Lotto Kiosk that opens it target to be placed in poor neighborhoods for the reason that they will have more profits as the poors gamble more.

Yes, this is happening with the permission of governments. That is really a pathetic situation. It seems that government just want to suck poor people's money by any means. If you notice, where people are not having enough literature and not having full awareness about the dangers of gambling, going for gambling more frequently. This type of people are becoming simple target for most governments.

Can you tell where exact location because i am really curious, as i know only two gambling capital in the world the whole city are open for all kind of gambling in the city.
If not wrong according to the new i heard the two gambling capital city is came from asia  at china locatted  in macau and united states of america at las vegas city.

Thats the same places i also thinking about what is OP talking because only Las Vegas and Macau is where the gambling called Paradise,though there are some places also in other part of the workd where casinos are growing with the support of the governments

In asia there and germany i heard that many places are entertaining gamblers in good manners also

There are too many places that entertains gambling and governments are even giving incentives on casino investors because it is very big market. In Europe, Monaco is also popular. i think Macau is now the biggest gambling place in the world. Many eastern Asian countries are also offering high incentives in order to compete.

Commercial gambling ads will be available only in the countries who supported gambling to grow and probably your government let this happen because they admitted gambling as industry and can be good source tax for them but besides all of it i think they will also thinking the risk behind it especially i read your post that there was casinos near to high school locations and it's very risky to childrens at there will attempts to gambling because casinos is too easy to be access

Governments should apply strict rules for those who wanna to gamble in such places. Casino industry is old,profitable industry due to gambling addiction based on  human nature. This type of casinos mainly care about profit with minimum risk that's why guards are constantly rude against winners. Minimum gambling age is over 18 in my country,everyone should avoid to risk hard earned money there especially this age group. Sometimes i hear about teenagers who lost their tuition fee in casino. IMO casinos can ask the source of money with checking the detailed info of teenager participants in central system before entering with big money in order to minimize such cases.

Yes, Macau is now the biggest gambling place not just in Asia but in the world. You will see a lot of poker tournaments held there as well so it's a indication that gambling is really taking off in Macau and might be the biggest contributor in their country in terms of tax collection.

Actually it's true that in gambling business it's a good source of taxes for the government because it's a big industry and they can make a lot of money to it. However, there are countries that are not gambling friendly, they only give license to a small number of gambling establishments so they cannot maximize their taxes on gambling, maybe they have other bigger source because a government lifeblood is tax, so why would they refuse others.

Also, with the advent of crypto, there are already a lot of online gambling sites that has no license because they do not need to as the people still trust them, it's only reputation that is important in gambling so even if it's not operating with a license, there's still a potential to grow and succeed.

The fact that gambling companies are springing up in every nook and cranny of our communities doesn't necessarily reflect an increase in the governments tax revenue since many of these companies operate in secrecy or under declare their taxes and are always bent on maximizing profits especially those operating online on offshore servers with little or no reputation. I think the governments/gaming commissions should rather push for quality , genuine and law-abiding casinos and gambling companies to be set-up in our communities rather than allow just anyone to operate  in the hope of turning in more revenue from taxes.

I don't think that casino's would go to that detail though, why would they need to ask where the source of money came from? If they are within the age wherein they can enter a casino then they are mature enough to know the risk involved, just saying.

What the guards usually do, if they have doubts is to ask for ID to verify their age and that's it. If they show ID saying that they are 18 and above then they can play as long as they money in their pocket.

Also government doesn't allow casino's to be operated near schools or universities, so if student wanted to play then its their choice, imho.

This is an indication that people across the globe will certainly found satisfaction with gambling.  They'll found them self comfortable the way they gamble their money. 
No question that government will support for this since they could possibly generate huge money from the tax they collected.
And we are now integrated with online base gambling which everyone can gamble and good thing is that we can used crypto's for betting.

I don't know if the gambling sites pay their taxes to the government, but I think the casino do that because they search for a back up from the government that will make sure their business is safe. Besides that, the taxes from the casino itself can be an income for the country, and it's one of the biggest income in the country which allowing gambling.

Perhaps, in someday when everything can be connected with the internet, and there is no difficulty anything, the gambling sites should pay the taxes to the government in the country which the owners hosted the sites.

As far as the risk of casino is concerned to the school going children, it does not matter if the casino is built near the school or not. As gambling is available online, anyone can easily access it at any time.  By using bitcoins, one even does not need credit card to play gambling which makes if further more easier.

I guess for countries that legalize gambling they will not make a proposition when gambling place is near their school. And maybe not a place that must be really shunned, because if a child has an interest in gambling, they will gamble in their own way. Online gambling is an idea to make it easy for every gambler, they are free to gamble in a place they like, and also a place that is most liked by every gambler who prohibits gambling.

I think we know that the gambling business is very profitable for entrepreneurs. millions of dollars in profits can be generated in 1 night. of course to change the rules in a country is very easy if they want to lobby. because all rules have a price? thats why the growth of the gambling business is accelerating

I am not much fond of going to physical casino these days when everything can be done online. Casino are growing everywhere at a massive rate and so does the online gambling sites.
Since the population of the world is increasing at a rapid rates and very high rate of unemployment, many people comes to gambling to change their fortune.

I see they are located near high schools too. This could cause a gambling addiction epidemic among the youth, which has a hard time making money these days and feel desperate and end up gambling whatever little they make.

I claim this cannot be a simple coincidence. The rich have always gambled, but lower end classes weren't gambling that much in the past as far as I know. There weren't definitely as many gambling spots all over the place before.

In my country sports betting has become the other of the day and many sports' betting central are been open day in day out.  I strongly believe that gambling industry is going to flourish in some years to come.

This makes no logical sense at all. At least think for a while before posting! Ok, the world population is increasing day by day. I also agree that the rate of unemployment is also increasing. But, what does unemployment has to do with gambling? How the hell will they change their fortune by gambling if they do no have money (since they do no have a job) to gamble? The would be utter most stupidity to gamble when you don't even have a source of money.

I believe on this, if you have the money even if you’re not qualified to put up a business you can still get the permit because this is a profitable business, and someone will also benefit if you make good profit. It will continue to rise until everyone tries to gamble because of so many casinos around your place.

I don't think that apply to all of the schools of pre-school to universities. In our country gambling is a serious matter and students are not allowed to go that places. As far as I know, there are laws that that kind of places should not be a built or be close to the school in a certain distance. Students are even said to be not smoking at that same distance. Though with the really use of Bitcoin, everytime, everywhere, students from children to adults can gamble and spend either their Bitcoin or their money.

I agree with this, we are in the same country obviously.

There are a lot of students talking about this in my high school days and until now, it is still a thing. Even though there is this rule about not smoking within 100 meters of the school, there are students that still smoke within that radius. The school are having a hard time reinforcing this rule and it is really hard with this students finding their ways to keep on smoking, gambling though is not that really a things for them now.

Well many in country are now into gambling i think. but still hoping that the casinos or any other gambling site will not be near school. there should be provision or law where to locate such.  As for me, i am not into gambling, i am not fond of gambling.  My thinking is that I will always loose and i think that is the reality since many has no luck in gambling too. And also, people that are gambling must gamble only the money they are willing to loose or afford to loose. Since there are 50 50 or less chances of winning.  They should take away the money for the basic needs.

Gambling isn't the right place for you and so the others have the same. Gambling is rampant for now, in any countries still it exist but gambling using crypto coins is different from what we usually gambled. I'm not really have fan with gambling, I only watching it and it feels to me difficult and I think the others have thought that also.
Winning in gambling is just a luck, and you couldn't have luck all the time so it sometimes they experience losses by then.

So you don't have to play gambling since you don't like a gamble. That is good if you have to think about you are always losing so it makes you can stay away from gambling games. Many people don't have that thing and keep playing gambling without thinking of what will happen to their life in the long-term. It could attract them to become addicting to gambling. You need to always concern about this so you won't play any gambling games and don't try to play even in just 15 minutes because you will curious about the next round.

[Ucy]

There are a lot of Gambling centers ,mostly sport betting in my area too . Its actually a new phenomenon and growing at an alarming rate.  Every one of them is filled with gamblers of every class. Some owners mix the betting with football viewing centers

[cabalism13]

I, somewhat feel jealous with you guys, here in my country casinos are the only ones whose permitted to play gambling on the house, then other than that its illegal, although it is something like that people here doesnt care, most of the people here are addicted to gambling, especially on dice and card games,... And on some old hags there they're into MAHJONG, which they play all night together with their amigaz.

Its such a wsste for being here in a country like this.  Even if they don't have the money they'll surely borrow from someone just to play.

It happens that some people considering gambling as their job and so they can found them everyday at casino. Maybe this persons have great luck in gambling and so they can survive in here. Some gamblers are just be in gambling just for fun and to keep cool from the stress life in the work, it eventually give them a relaxing mode.

We have the same situation, our every desire for gambling is limited by state regulations. They judge gambling as a place that will keep you passionate and will never be someone who is generous. Even though every person (gambler) has a different perspective on gambling, there are those who are very eager to get a lot of money and there are people who just want to gamble to entertain themselves. However, with the development of technology I am a little grateful for the online game, at least making me comfortable to gamble.

What will they develop? Gambling has been so innovative these past years with their own ways of live bets, online casinos that also accepts crypto currencies, I think that will be it in another 2 years or so. Also, I don't think people should be interested in gambling at all since we all know how it goes for those who got addicted to it, including me ofc.

I think gambling growth will still run, everyone knows that gambling can make you an addict but they still play gambling? gambling innovation will continue to occur especially online gambling using crypto, its still very new and few, of course there will be more and more, maybe it will be around you soon

Growth will continue because there's plenty of people who like to gamble.
The addiction is not a big problem since everyone has the right to control themselves to prevent that from happening.
It's not the same with illegal drugs that by nature it's addictive, gambling is different, it can only be addictive if you will allow it you control you.

Just don't gamble if you cannot control yourself, that means you are not matured enough.

Well, where their is sports, there is gambling too. That's why we see gamblers near the Football viewing centers and sccorer playing fields. You can see whenever there is any big tournament, we see a lot of betting going on and even we see many new betting sites popping up each day.

The Interest of the people in gambling is increasing every day and this is why we are seeing a lot of growth in this business.

[BUK2016]

Well, I see that as an sign of desperation to make quick money in return on their investment which may likely have a negative multiplayer effects on your country economy in time to come for such a thing has happened in my country before now and pay dearly for it.

This is alarming if it is increasing as many youth fall under this and when it comes to money as a young person you require money and people start considering it as a money generation source and play on the bets. Finally they might lose huge money in anticipation of making from it and might even borrow form many people and it is the biggest threat as well as they might hide with their family about it.

How many men love some kind of sport? Most right? Mix that with the possibility to make money and look at the combination. No wonder why they are making so much money and expanding so fast.

Right.Gambling today can be observed almost in all places of the world.People chose to gamble more due to their aim of becoming rich in an instant without realizing that it will ruin their whole life once they become addicted to it.But still,gambling is growing so fast today that even some countries decided to legalize it for additional income in their government.

Well if the government can't stop it, just control it by regulating it. Ask for permits to operate so they will know who is operating the casinos in the country. Government can earn from it not only from the daily earnings but from permits. The more permits being issued, more income for the government. More players coming in from other country, more income for casinos and increase in tourism.

It's gaining popularity in all of the country. Here in my location, I have recently found 3 websites which are orienter from my country within last 2 months. It's not about your country only. Some people around the world are getting addicted to gambling and some people are easily taking the chances to make money.

[maydna]

In real life, I see some people place a bet in the sports betting by using a broker who will be a third-party and hold the money and give the money to the winner. From time to time, the number of people who join in that sports betting has increased especially there are many of them which are younger. I admitted that it will make gambling games growing and it's not happening in one city only but I think it's happening in all countries.

[MFahad]

Even if the law is passed, that no casino will be opened near the schools, that will not fully serve the purpose. The reason is that these days gambling is easily accessible online and the school going children can also easily access it.  There is no way we can stop gambling being accessible to minors and the only option is to enable KYC for the exchanges to which many gamblers will not agree.

People gamble about pretty much everything nowadays and with the availability of online gambling, it's not surprising that it's a booming industry, not just in your country im sure, but all around the world. And it's only going to get bigger from here with different options being available for different kinds of gamblers.

[Idrisu]

Is this an isolated phenomenon or it's just where im from? I see more and more gambling commercials, tv ads, and I see more and more gambling spots all over the streets. There were casinos before but im talking about places where people take bets usually on soccer and other sports, not a classic casino with the usual casino stuff. I see they are located near high schools too. This could cause a gambling addiction epidemic among the youth, which has a hard time making money these days and feel desperate and end up gambling whatever little they make.

I claim this cannot be a simple coincidence. The rich have always gambled, but lower end classes weren't gambling that much in the past as far as I know. There weren't definitely as many gambling spots all over the place before.

This is happening in my country too.  Many sport betting and gambling central are been open daily and it seems the industry is growing at an alarming rate.  I think this might have side infect in future as everything look very lazy and young men are not doing anything than gambling.

Well you can't blame young people these days, capitalism has taken the majority of new wealth created and it has gone to people at the top.  Wages are falling everywhere and most jobs are being lost because of automation.  People have very little hope left and the only way out is gambling and hitting it big.

But as long as people were looking for monwy without their effort in it then gambling is going to look like a way for them to make money.
So better they deserve the outcome than the advices,let them to do and face the results from gambling.

Well those who thinks that gambling is the way out of poverty is very wrong. If I'm in their shoes I would try to look for jobs and not put everything in gamble because you can't really control the outcome. Anyways, yes it's really alarming but as long as the government see it as way to generated revenue then I'm sure they will allow casino's to grow in their country.

[Baofeng]

I recently open a thread here, https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5102350.0.

It's about a plan of our current government to open up a casino in our country. And as I look as some of the response, there's still a lot saying that it will be good in the long run because it can help the government specially for the tax coming from casinos. So at this point its early to say what will be the net positive in our country though. It's still debatable and as long as they are in power, I believed casino's will continue to flourish in my country.

It seems that there is already a massive introduction of gambling into your place which can already be an alarming one thinking that there are already gambling establishments that stand nearby the school into the range that must not be there because here in my country, gambling is allowed but it is strongly prohibited that casinos are built on the range near the school because most likely, casinos in my country are being built into the centralized and capital city where most casino establishments can be found. Existence of such casinos around can really cause addiction as well encourage young people to get into gambling at a young age since is nearly accessible for them to play since it seems like there is no one stopping the increase of gambling popularity into your place. Well, good thing that the casino establishments in my country are away too far that you will exert effort if you really want to play and the rules about gambling is strongly being exerted by our government so that no individual below 18 can be accessible into gambling. Since casino are away too far from my range, I just tend to just play into an online casino so that I can still play variety of casino games that I can enjoy with convenience as well as their great bonus for doing my first deposit on it.

Yes, i agree that casino is not a good source of income for the gamblers as it is the gamblers who lost more in gambling. However, the starting a casino is a profitable business and that is why we are seeing too many casino opening up these days all around the world.
You can even start a casino online and it will cost you very minimal amount but the returns will be great.

[kurian]

In my country, it is illegal to run a casino except some places. But, the local illegal gambling activities are increasing day by day. Moreover, online gambling with crypto fueled online and offline betting to another level. There are news that, our government has plan to regulate casinos if that is going to happen it will be a massive adoption.

[Shinpako09]

Isn't it illegal to place a casino near schools? There should be a distance. Well, as long as they have complete papers and following the rules, they are good to go. It's really fascinating if there is casino near your location. Maybe you can't resist to try it but then it's up to one person if he will get addicted or not no matter how many casino is there.
