Donating the Gambling profits

[tvplus006]

Have you ever thought of donating the gambling profits to a charitable cause ? 

Gambling is one way to generate income. And he is no different from other types of earnings. Therefore, if from time to time you share your income for charitable purposes, then you will do the same if you win in slot machines. And vice versa, if you have never shared with others, then now you will not share in charity.

By most words i do able to read up into this thread where people or majority does consider on giving out a donation.Really?I dont think that people here will mind off
after hitting some jackpot and im rather sure that they would rather play those money once again in gambling or would just simply buy their wants or their wishlist.
Im not saying or this applied to all but its impossible that people will mind too much on donation since people are way too greedy in most aspect.

I think irrespective of which ever source of your income be if you wish to do some charity then you would be doing it though the amount could differ from each individual  and not necessarily it should be done from gambling money . You could do from overall money earned .

In my principle, contributing or helping others is mandatory. Don't see where the money comes from, as long as we have good intentions, then do it. I myself don't really care about what I get from gambling, whether it's dirty or not. As long as I win in gambling, I will do that. Donate and help others with the results of gambling.

Well, I oppose your statement that I bolded above. Not all money for me that donating is a good intention. Dirty money from any illegal activities is the same dirty money. But in generating profit from gambling is not dirty money, it is may consider as alternate source of income. Indeed, donating in charity is great to help to those poor people who badly need to have a financial assistance from those agency whos collecting donations.

The charity you are donating money don't even care where the money comes from as far as it meets their daily needs a gambling money is like a free money some people might believed that gambling money is a dirty money based on religion beliefs If the money is to be spent catering or improve the welfare of less privileged I will donate my gambled money wholeheartedly for that cause.

Have you ever thought of donating the gambling profits to a charitable cause ?  Sometime people won a big lottery or very high amount of money from betting & gambling games.  Do you ever thought of being generous and helping the poor with this money ?

Every time I gamble, I consider the proceeds of such as 'dirty money' wherein I feel like I need to dispose of them quickly before anything bad happens to me. Although I have not donated my gambling proceeds to charity, I always treat my family and purchase the things that I want and need.

This is actually true. Contribution stems from the intent of an individual into giving/sharing their resources regardless from whatever source it came from. Helping one another is the core and foundation of being human and helping the country towards a progressive nation.

Then if you want to donate, don't do it on charities or else your money will not be given to the people who needed the purpose. It will only go to the pocket of the administration of that charity. Just give it directly to the people who you think needed your help and not on charities.

I haven’t made that much or that big winnings that I can say I can contribute to a charitable institution however, I also have that idea when I get lucky enough and win in a lottery, I will go back to this place where they take care of those senior citizens who were abandoned by their sons or daughters. Maybe a portion like 20% of my winnings is good enough to make those seniors smile and happy.

It is better to give that money to people who really needed. Or we can buy some food for people that we meet in the street. That will help them to eat something. Sometimes the money will be worth it for people than to donate to charities because people can use the money to buy their needs, and I am sure they will be happy to receive that money. But since we cannot always win in gambling, we can use the other money to donate so we can still help other people.

If I were to donate, I would better give it directly to the needy and not on charities. Sometimes, there are corruptions on charity institutions and I don't want my money to be corrupted by those officials. Even if it's from gambling, it's still money and it should be used wisely.

I  choose to do the same, by winning huge amount of money extending help to those needy people near me will be my priority, I won't donate anything to charitable institutions since I can also manage to do the same, it much better to go directly and feed those people that you see around.
They need more attentions than those who are inside the charitable institution where funds has being raised.

Being practical and make things much worthy if given a chance to win jackpot especially lottery where the pot is really a very huge amount.  A lots of people will enjoy the shares that can be provided personally.

@Fredomago in the past I too made the mistake of giving out cash from my winnings to the charity owners, but later on I found out that it was never used for charitable causes. After realising my mistake I decided to either directly buy the goods and donate to charitable organisations, or find the person in need and give him/her cash personally.

Directly giving your donations to unfortunate people are much better especially if that is food or clothes. We dont need to rely with our earnings on gambling or wait to win huge. I think any amount will do, a simple gesture like treating the street children to eat some food even its a bread will make them happy and grateful.

But since the probability of winning in a lottery is one in several millions, I'm afraid you cannot see that 20% winnings painting smiles on the faces of those old gentlemen and ladies anytime soon. 

But for us who feel for them, you know, whether lucky or not, winning or losing in gambling, for as long as we have some extra savings, however small they may be, can still contribute in one way or another to their happiness.

The reason why I don't always give directly to needy people is that my personal funds is mostly not enough to help them well. Sometimes you have to course them through an organization so that there is a bigger pool that can really create a much bigger impact.

Ofcourse but I haven't yet win a huge amount of money from gambling that I can say I could donate to charity but if I'll be getting the chance of winning then I could since there are more unfortunate people than me. I haven't though of not giving money from gambling games 'cause majority tend to think that it shows no respect towards the other people 'cause gambling games has a bad image. Sharing is caring and sharing is one of the most good thing I could offer to unfortunates.

Charity from the results of gambling ? Of course you can, but this is more about individual perception. Everyone has a good side where they can do good things in their lives. Giving money to the poor from the benefits of gambling is not something that is prohibited if we see the benefits. But that is also not recommended because the money earned comes from gambling. I don't think when I benefit from gambling, I will donate to charity. Gambling is synonymous with bad activities in people's lives, if you want to give charity then give them money and donations from good jobs. This is only perception, each person has their own perception.

why not ? small win or big win . i always do good  . i also think about the others and not just my self .  i started to that in a small way like giving tips on the chat ( on the gambling platform that im playing ) and whenever i cash out that winning of mine  . i then browse on some charities and other simillar institutions so that i can donate some bucks  . i think that my sins were reduced if i do this ritual of mine and not also that but i fee that im also blessed at most times  .

I so do not believe all the people in this thread who say they donate their gambling profits. All I can generally see online in casinos is two types of people. The ones who are always begging and asking for favors,,, or the ones who just keep quiet and sometimes send generous tips when they win.

And that is for me how it should be.

You want to donate or help charity, it is your business. And those who do that they are quiet about it.

I haven't won a huge amount in gambling but if I would have a chance to be lucky, I will take the opportunity to help less fortunate people. I don't think donating it to charities would be a good idea. I will choose to conduct my own program to help needy people in our community. There are still homeless and less fortunate people who don't get any support and help from charities and organizations. I just wish lucky players will do this simple act of kindness.

There are some gambling winners that donates to charity, here in my country betting on the lottery is a common thing to do maybe because the prize money is a huge amount for us, and some of the winners donate their 10-20% in the charity but it depends on the person who wins. Some casinos organize a fundraising event to donate for charity, and here in the Philippines when there is a burial the relatives of the dead organize gambling in the burial and the players donate some of their profits to the relatives which we called "tong" it's like gambling for a cause.

Here in our country, big casinos are sponsoring charitable institutions, so people will not complain or protest  bad thing about gambling in casinos, for individual, it is in his decision if he wants to donate part of his earnings to charity, but it is highly recommended, that he do so, maybe 10% is not that big and he can add more if he has a heart for the poor and the needy.
