Donating the Gambling profits

[Oilacris]

Only if I donate the deficit 

I only gamble for fun, and even if I win sometimes, I have to admit that if I put in a scale, I lost more money than I win, like I said it's just a hobby like playing videogames for example

If I win a big amount, for sure I would donate for a good cause, no doubt

We do talk here about presumptions then you should answer if you would donate or not. Of course gambling is really destined for you to lose.
Donating for those who need is a different matter because neither those amounts would be get from gambling or not if you do like to donate
then its your thing because there were people that doesn't care if they won or not they wouldn't still make some donations.

Although I do not donate the proceeds I earn in gambling to charity, I always make it a point that I treat my family members or buy them something unexpectedly. Like what I have mentioned before, all the income that I earn from gambling, I consider them as something that should be quickly disposed as they might be a bad omen if I keep them long.

Aw, that's so nice. I also do that sometimes especially when I win. Just giving our family members something that are useful  can also mean a lot to them provided that they wouldn't mind were the money came from.

I remember my father with this. He gave me a present (smartphone) for my graduation just this year. I didn't know were the money came from. I just thought it was from his salary. But my mother told me that my father won in the lottery that's why he was able to give me such. I actually find it sweet for him to do that. After all, it's the thought that counts.

In all honesty, it is actually a good practice if people were to use their winnings in buying something that would benefit others than just gambling it again in the casino.

This is so right. Whether it's in a charity or directly given to people, it's always good to give help to those who need it. Remember, it's better to give than to receive.

Good for you guys. Gift giving in any kind of form is a good attitude to practice, like what the old saying says: sharing is caring .

Anyway, I don't think it's a bad omen to keep money from gambling activities too long. I mean, it was considered a product of your hardwork and luck so technically speaking it was a blessing. If you suddenly spend your gambling earnings, does it also mean that you are not conforming to a good management of money? What do you think? Well, we have different perspectives in life so be it .

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 ?

Any decent person should always have charity and donations on their mind, especially when you are comfortable enough with money that you can afford to go to a casino and risk losing some. I feel like people in casinos, or in big online bitcoin/cryptocurrency gambling websites, are in the best position to donate to charity because they are already almost accepting loss when they gamble, it's like they enjoy losing money, if not the risk of it.

Instead of losing money to online casinos, crypto gamblers may find more fulfilment in losing money to charity.

I think if we are donating some money to charity, we can get satisfaction because of helping other people. It's not about the money, but it's a feeling to share something with them so they can feel happiness like what we feel.

I am sure that many gamblers who still donate to other people no matter if they use the win money or the additional money. When we can get satisfaction at one time, we will want to share more at another time. So when we can win from gambling, we will donate some or half of the win money to share happiness.

Well, It always feels good when you help someone when you have more than enough. There are countries that practiced this kind of generosity, It's like a part of their of culture and my country is amongst them.
Winning the lottery is the closest scenario I can think of when receiving huge winning profit, just like what the OP stated on his post. So, winning the lottery will be the best time to donate in charities as well.

[Findingnemo]

Not everyone who is donating is not rich and not every rich person is donating so this thong donating to poor doesn't only attached with the financial status of a person so thinking about donating when someone won lottery is highly depends on the person who winning it.

If I won a lottery then I might consider helping others but I am not going to spend a part as charity thing.

I'm kind of agnostic, but I have seen this philosophy is true that when you give to the needy, it comes back to you and sometimes more. When you help, you kind of gain confidence about any work you doing and can earn more. Saving up money is of no use, we have a limited life.

Do you ever thought of being generous and helping the poor with this money ?

I have always thought of it but it takes only a huge win to be able to do that. Imagine when your lose and lose streak is more than your winning, you would not think of donation first but rather keep high hope to win more so that you can donate.

i have never won a big amount in gambling, thought it depends on what you mean by big amount though. In my case i have never won 2 and above bitcoin at a stretch, just closer to it.

Wow. You won close to 2 BTC and you said it's a small amount.
Well, I don't know the amount you staked or what year you won it but at this current price of bitcoin, it's a lot of money in my country.

If you really have the heart of helping others,you will not look for big wins before donating because we don’t talk about how much here but only a though of giving others and it’s not a big or small donations

He didn’t mentioned when was that 2btc winning happen because if that’s in 2012 then thats just a small amount of compared to what’s the value today

I once did it to make a donation for my victory. although many people think that the money from gambling is dirty money. but I didn't care about it. because our good intentions can actually be done. Big wins often make us very happy and I often think that when I get the win I will give a partial donation. looks ridiculous but this is fact.maybe it's not just me who has done that. where we promised before playing gambling on something

A dirty money also will become a noble thing, when it is used for needy people. I agree there are classification about any profits from gambling as sinful money or dirty money as per some people's culture and belief. That is because when someone lose some money, on the other end, some other person will be winning it. The curse of the loser may follow it as per some people's opinion. But, I believe even there is a curse that will be cleared when we think about donating some part of winning money.

I believe donating gambling profits must be a emphasized to every gambler. So that, we may not get cursed by dirty money in any case which may help them to win again in their forthcoming gambling/betting rounds.

Big wins often make us very happy and I often think that when I get the win I will give a partial donation.

But, the real fact is most gamblers are not able to finish off their gambling in profits so they never think about big wins so that they may go for donating. I am sure when we happy then we definitely go for sharing those happy feeling which is only possible through donations.

I like this kind or way of helping others because it is the same principle I have . Why would you choose to donate on a charity where there's a risk for your money to get corrupted instead of giving it directly on the needy? That's what always running on my mind. I prefer to give food and clothes to beggars along the streets rather than donating money on charities or giving tithes on church since some of them (not all of course) just used it for covering up their shady activities.

Giving out money directly to someone also not ensure that it is going to be used for the right things so we just have to do our part with helping others in the best way we can and the particular reason of going charity is we can help more people in one place so no need to find the people who is in need and help them.

For sure the direct help will be felt by the recipients instead of giving it into charity institutions which you never know what they are doing with the money that you donated. There's  a lots of ways where you can share your blessing, even it came from gambling though the intentions to help still
counts. Gambling donations helps people who are in need especially if you can do it directly.

The most important is they feel that you're seriously giving it and not asking for any returns. I don't know if they'll asking you where it comes from but rather to hear from them saying thank you.

I often to share blessings to the person who is really in need, it can be in charity institutions or to the person who directly asks you for something just like beggars. Even it was a small amount but they consider it big and really big enough for them to survive. And surely we could see their faces smiling which makes us also encourage.

I think helping them directly helps more. Not because of I believe that the NGOs are corrputed. It's like they are institions with good resources and knowledge and they know how to use the money most efficiently. But what I've felt is if I give money directly to the needy, he might misuse it. Lots of them will buy drugs and cheap alcohol as they are addicted to it. So buying them food myself serves it better

i don't want to be rude here but since i am a frank person i would say never thought of donating so far because the truth is i never win big in gambling.and besides we there are only few people that make a wins in gambling so i know that there are some who are donating but many are not and i am not one of them,or maybe i should say i will cross the bridge when i get there because the time being?its not on my list to do but lets see if things happen

Giving food for someone who is starving for that is really a great thing but will this change their future no,maybe they will be happy on that day but the next day they still look for someone to help them to get foods but the institutions will help them to better and teach the things what they can do and let them to lead their life on their own by teaching how to do that.

many says gambling money is dirty but how come a Dirty money extends life?donating money for some others to eat is life extending and sometimes even churches forget to do while gamblers dont
i remember some videos i have watched about some churches denied to give help to the needed but they are accepting money donations from gambling institutions,while those money they are calling dirty is the materials that causes foods to eat and shelters to live on.so indeed donating gambling profits is helpful

Yes, when we are happy so we think about making others happy too but it’s only possible if we have money to share. When you earn so it’s really good to remember poor people and needy in your happiness we should donate some of our profit for those who are not having their life good and waiting for our help.
