Gambling is growing at nonstop rates in my country

[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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Right.Casinos will only flourish if it have given importance by the government.In my country,there are also growing casinos but it is mostly found only in big hotels and not near in schools or any big establishments.Gambling has become legal like lottery which is very rampant today and cannot be denied that almost all people are into it.
