Gambling Money is Dirty Money

[Jsmbugu]

But what that dirty money you saying is from gambling can help poor people and save lives you won't accept it also as a donation after all it's just money doesn't matter where it came from, gambling is just a way to double your money or to lose it all. And a lot of people when they win in jackpots of millions of dollars they always donate a part of it to the people who needs it. If you keep following relegions you will never live your life. That's my opinion because my family is a very religious.

[Murat]

It's true that money from gambling is not fair money for society. if you talk about religion then gambling money is totally dirty but as a vast industry around the world, so many people are doing this and making money with various type of gambling. If you talk about the dirty of Gambling money then you have to consider also all short of gambling signature campaign, Bounty campaign and all the related things to the gambling. So it's really a tough task to avoid this gambling money. But nowadays gambling is considering as one of the most profitable industries and a lot of people are playing with this, so that things are prohibited by the religion that thing should be avoided.

There are some regulated casinos too. Criminals always use this casino to change their black money for clean funds. In recently the hack from Bangladesh Bank is an example. Most of the funds from this hack went to casino & they gamble the money and change the hands and get away with clean funds.

What's the problem with gambling?

Gambling, in gambling games according to people's beliefs as entertainment, but by not violating the laws of every country.
which is often played by people for example (Lottery), some people think the Lottery game can be profitable and make money.

So, playing gambling if I describe it, if it's not excessive spending money, it can't be said of something "evil and dirty".
But what about the activities of people who don't play gambling, then spend money on luxury, eating, shopping unnecessary items, can it be said as "evil and dirty".

Dirty crime, can be done by other means not in the game of "gambling". only.

It is difficult for us to understand properly and correctly, but in religious gambling is prohibited on the grounds that it will make dirty money.
it's better to find the truth so that you don't misunderstand about gambling and how to play it that can make dirty money, in my opinion as long as it doesn't harm others for me it's okay.

So basically, you are saying that poker tournaments where you can win a huge amount of money is dirty money? well if I am the one who's gonna win, I dont mind having a dirty money, I gamble my own money to achieve that. We all have different perspectives, I'm a gambler and I dont think that this is right.

You also don't have to mind people who think that way, that's kind of a stupid thinking.

They are judging in general that what you earn in gambling is a dirty money, and its also possible that the way they look at gamblers, they look them as criminal. Well, let them do the judgement, as the saying goes, you can't please everyone and only those who are close minded are usually not gonna make success in life financially as they are afraid of taking risks.

The majority of society makes money by normal jobs, anything like, street vendors, secretary, cashier, etc. and they don't see gambling as a way to earn legal money. The Government is against gambling casinos who doesn't have any legal papers, so earning money by gambling means dirty money to them, but it does make sense because if it is illegal, then it is dirty, it doesn't matter hoe much you are winning because it is dirty money for them

[Meowth05]

Gambling is a worldwide industry, lots of people enjoy gambling. I disagree, I don’t see it as any kind of taboo or terrible thing. People lose money gambling, sure. People win lots too, I don’t feel sorry for people who become addicted to gambling, these kind of people are weak. You are the master of your own life.

Yeah you're right but admit the fact that there are some countries who prohibit this kind of activity, for them it was a crime and if it is a crim then it is dirty money. However, in my case the money came from gambling is not dirty but rather its opposite. Some countries see gambling as beneficial in the way of it could affect upon their economic status. In conclusion, the perspective on gambling varies depends on the place where we belong so we cannot fully tell if the money came from it is dirty or not.

[stephanirain]

This to me is a traditional view which remains persistent until the very day.

My mother considered gambling as playing with money. She sternly reminded us not to gamble. When I was in college, there was a hot debate within the church whether or not to accept donations coming from dirty sources such as gambling. And in Islam, gambling (maysir) is haram (forbidden). ^[1]

I have a friend whose father would not serve the family food bought using gambling money.

And just a few years ago, our Education Secretary shunned billions of state-funds because they are coming from gambling. She didn't think it moral and proper to buy books and even build classrooms using the dirty gambling money. ^[2]

What are your thoughts on these? Do you agree with it, or you consider these as old-fashioned views?

Because gambling isn't just a game anymore; it's a dynamic industry and most of the time, it has negative-sum effect on its people. "Dirty" by means of the money you can get from the gambling is from the loss of many, is subjective and cultural view of the matter. These difference in views and cultural perspective divides the role of gambling as entertainment and as way of living. Though there are also people nowadays who consider gambling as both for entertainment and income generating activity. But in the end, money is still money.

[Apes]

for religious people if linking gambling with religion certainly considers gambling to be prohibited and gambling money is dirty.
but in general gambling in the community has become a habit and culture, so they have not thought about the religion prohibition
because gambling is a common thing, like their parents did.

[Eugenar]

It depends on Money that they use for gambling. if the money came from a illegal job etc then that's a dirty money because of addiction on gambling some of people doing illegal just like rubbery or etc for just a small amount of money and they try to gambling it.this kind people are those who have a small source of income, and it's depend on what gambling their have and Status of Life they have.

In my opinion, dirty money can be called only what is obtained by deceiving other people. Many Goverments themselves trade in arms and administer gambling, while prohibiting their citizens from doing the same. That is why I believe that only cheating other people can be an unworthy way to make money. And if the casino does not have special settings to commit fraud, then his money can not be dirty.

Exactly. There may be distinction between dirty money and money earned through immoral means . Gambling still does not qualify as either the two, depending on laws of nations as it regard gambling. Gambling is really legal where I live. The government even run a lottery program which qualify as gambling

Indeed, it all depends on the country where you belong. We all have different teachings and culture, if you gamble to earn money yet you live in a place where it considered as a crime then it is dirty but if you live in a place where it is legal then we cannot classify it as dirty. Just like you our government runs a lottery program and sometime the money coming from it use in a charity program or basically used for a good cause. We shouldn't insist our personal ideas because we all have different perspective.

[efrenbilantok]

It is not dirty money as if it is stolen from someone, both parties agree to play the rule of whoever loses in the game will pay accordingly to their agreement. So there is no dirty thing about that when there is no stolen money involve.

In my opinion, I don't support gambling money to be dirty since the government is not against it but gambling money was said to be dirty money because 95% of gamblers are into the reward involve and "the love of money is the root of all evil". which literally affect some gambler physically and emotionally.

Dirty crime, can be done by other means not in the game of "gambling". only.

Dirty money can be earn by other aspects which is why I don't believe gambling money to be dirty.

There is a saying, easy come easy go. Money earned fast, will be spent fast. Why gambling is dirty money, before majority of gamblers were criminals, and mostly casinos were working underground. But that was before Las Vegas, and before gambling became mainstream. Now gambling is legal in most of the countries, we have casinos on every corner, add to that online gambling. Ordinary people can gamble freely, they don't need to be big players, now it's easy to put couple dollars on a side from salary and gamble with that.
Now gambling is one of the biggest industries, and it's growing. What was in the dark before came out to the light. Gambling is not dirty money anymore, if you have money you can spent it on gambling and it's your choice, there's nothing dirty in that.

I would say Gambling is dirty money based on certain religious teachings. however, it cannot be disguised by everyone. gambling in various countries becomes a legal thing and this is the right of individual privacy to find income. for gamblers, don't be overly responded if it says the money you have is dirty money because everyone also has the right to say something according to their argument.

Yes, it all depends on a person's perspective. If you are a religious person wherein gambling is not allowed in your religion, then your mind set will probably indicate that gambling money is definitely a dirty money. But on the other hand, other people has different opinion on things. Besides, gambling has many forms. For example, lottery.

Lottery is played by many people even those religious ones. So at some point, they gamble as well and when they win, I don't think they consider their price money as a dirty money. With that, we cannot always conclude that the money earned through gambling is filthy.

Gambling is broad and as I have said, people will always have something to say about something. Let's respect theirs so they can also respect ours.

I guess people who gamble knows that gambling is dirty money, but because they are curious about the game, they tried to play for once. Later, they find that the games were very attractive, so they decide to play another game. And in the end, they playing gambling in almost every day and many of them become addicted to gambling.

Yes, we need to know that every people will have different views on gambling. And some of us will say that gambling is one activity that requires money to play, and that is dirty money. If we still want to play gambling, you can do that but only with caution because betting can make you addicted and you will lose your money.

It's not them who will make a rules, if the government allows gambling then we should not be guilty of what we are doing.
Beside if we make a bad move like violating the law, who would suffer the consequences? them or us? of course us, so we should not mind them.

If all gambling players really think that way there should be no offense about "dirty money" embedded in them. gambling makes our psychology believe that we will always win, even though many consequences are obtained if we are not ready and without preparation. Gambling needs money, there are gamblers who when they run out of money as capital they choose to borrow from other people, banks or others. in my opinion, this is a very wrong thing. when borrowing money and what happens is that it can't return it, this is where bad things start as a gambler.

The thing that you said is just for a person with wrong schooling and lack of self control. There are several types of people in the world and the same thing might not be applicable for all of them. Even alcohol is considered a good or bad according to the people and situation of it's use.
For anyone who is spending his/her self earned money to have some entertainment, there's nothing wrong on gambling. There are much worse things people may do to spend their spare time and have some fun.

You're right if everyone is able to control themselves well. but, we cannot eliminate the fact that many cannot control themselves well. I'm not talking about a person's background from how his school or education is, about psychology is even more complicated.

if everyone in the world is able to control himself, then there won't be a bad case regarding gambling. to emphasize, I'm not saying gambling is a bad thing. it all depends on each personality.
