The gambling black market thrives in Britain

[fiulpro]

What are your thoughts ?

This will exist no matter what and for those who had been restricted or prohibited are mostly the ones who had been ending up on this path.

Have you ever tried Gambling in the black market ?

None and wont ever tend to do so if you do like to save up your ass into a trouble then its better to stick with legal ones.Even though it isnt really that perfect
or the game you've been looking for isnt there then you can always have the chance to look for another.

Haha yeah ofc I do not think that I will ever try that for sure. There are far too many games around and literally a lot of platforms so you can easily find whatever you are looking for.

Even if I wanted to, I couldn't since I had no bloody idea how to enter it. And well, there would always be people who would want to be in a market that agrees with all of their conditions, no matter the cost. Legal casinos still have their rules and all, after all, not to mention that some of them force others to compromise (banned issues, often solved by money). Sides, black market gambling can possibly involve multiple dealings, plus meetings with others in the related trade. Just like how normal casinos have those kinds of social interactions, I guess the black market also has its own.

If given the chance, I'd really like to explore the black market, but it'd only be limited to that, exploration. I have no plans to join them with whatever deals they are doing.

I would say it depends where you live , if you have no idea just leave it aside 🤣 , be like a sane person and just order piranhas from the dark web 🕸️ , that's the most action that you should get into. In the black market money extortion is a big thing therefore until and unless you think you can handle it then you should not touch this section.

Or roam around in the most fishy neighbor or even be the bookie for the bets v.v this way you don't have a license but ur gambling ( ask your friends and family around lol)

I think that would work much.

..... where I am from there the gambling is banned but you can easily find bookies and places to gamble at every corner.

A black market is hard to take down in reality because of its big backers and even though the government tries to seize it, It won't be eliminated. It's also true that other illegal activities are connected to it. I personally haven't experienced gambling in a black market and I don't have a plan to be playing at it. Gambling is accessible in our country and adding to that is there are online casinos out there, so why would I risk my life playing on it just to avoid some fees.

Illegal gambling has always existed and I am not at all surprised by the growth of the black gambling market in Britain during the pandemic because people are tired of isolation, forced social distance and longing for real communication. I am sure that once all restrictions are lifted the black market will go down.

[ene1980]

Have you ever used illegal black market to make a bet ? Gamble ? When the normal opportunities were not available ? But what do we think about Britain? In the Britain the black market gambling have more than just doubled , which is a matter of concern for everyone and not just the government.

I am not too keen on getting into trouble but i usually do not check all the gambling sites whether they are legal or not. If the illegal gambling black market is said about physical ones then i never tried my luck there, but if there are online sites, i usually do not check whether they are running legally or not and any government can term them illegal gambling houses if they are not registered with them. All i look is whether the site can be trusted and if anyone trust these gambling houses irrespective of the endorsement from the government i do not see a problem  .

Wow, never really heard or known that such a thing is becoming more rampant in the UK, my question is, what is the government there doing about it? How has it gone to major scales if it's being taken care of by their Government? And what will their plans be in the future knowing that syndications like this will continue to grow if no new tactics or approach is given?

if they will only wait and stick on the uncomfortable routine for a while , the recovery of covid 19 can speed up and they can soon go back playing in phyical casinos but the problem is they cant wait . they still try to gamble illegaly making the covid 19 spread more and longer to cure .

 if they will continue like this , they are only going to suffer at the end but we that are fine with online gambling we dont have any complaints anymore  .

Most illegal bookmakers and gambling providers that I've met still have the sense of decency to not allow minors to play on their platform. One reason I see why that's the case is because minors tend to get so cocky about their wins and brag about it, resulting into them possibly telling that there is an illegal gambling platform that exists which could lead to the operators getting busted. We do have our fair share of illegal gambling operators on my side of the globe and that's their reasoning why minors aren't allowed to gamble.

For Britain's problem re: gambling black market, I think this is because of the continuous lockdowns and people are trying to get a hold of their gambling fix on places that would allow them to play. There exists online casinos, yes, but there are still some people more comfortable in playing in physical casinos rather than play online, and that's understandable. The situation of COVID-19 in Britain hasn't gone for the better in recent times, and people are really tired of the lockdowns and establishments being closed, hence the need for alternative--yet illegal--places to go ignoring the health and safety protocols imposed by the government.

Physical casinos? The link of the OP isn't talking about that, it deals with blacket market ONLINE casinos ...
you don't need to write such long posts if it's off-topic bro LOL

When the gamblers have got legitimate and provably fair platforms why they're looking for such places. With all forms of business there'll be alternate opportunities. I find this black market based gambling as one of the opportunity for the gamblers. With all efforts from government it can be restricted, can't be abolished completely.

Everything is business, someone could've benefitted through this manner. This could've been shared with the one close to him. He starts the service and when there is profit automatically more people will come forward to provide these services taking risks. This also a big reason for the strengthening of these kind of gambling.

There could be a negative effect to underground gambling activities as well as back market in Britain. But the use of cryptocurrency will still exist in most gambling players, because they get used to it due to convenience and fast transactions. Unlike the traditional fiat used at local gambling site casino, it's transparent to strangers whom able to see you.
If there's a possibility that black market will go down, I think they won't stop and still find more ways to run their operations.

That might be a case but since we are still in the pandemic and we will be dealing with this for a long period of time, there might be those gamblers that would be used to this activity. A lot of gamblers are longing for this as you've said and I think the longer this pandemic happens, the longer they will gamble in this market, the more they will be used to it.

I have gambled in the black market countless of times. Black market gambling in this part of the world is strongly prevalent, although I would say that Britain's black gambling market is definitely different from ours.

I cannot tell for sure the real situation in Britain, but what I can probably say is that the gambling black market in Britain might not be characterized with poverty. From where I am speaking, depressed areas are places where illegal gambling thrives. Many of these illegal gambling games are often preying on the poor who are actually much heavier gamblers than the rich in terms of income and gambling expenses ratio.

[Alucard1]

I haven't tried to gamble in a black market and can not tell what is inside of it but as what I have heard from others it is illegal, I don't know why the black market keeps on growing even though it is illegal, the government should do something to avoid it especially with this current situation wherein the virus is still not over. For sure the black market does not have such hard restrictions in terms of health, that is why the possibility of spreading the virus will also increase, that should be given action by the government.

[Shasha80]

In my opinion, the black market gambling not only growing in England. But in some countries where gambling activities are prohibited, there is
always black market gambling. And in my country the government indeed prohibits gambling activity in any form, so some gambling addicts who
don't have the money to go to a country where playing gambling is legal, prefer to play the Black market gambling. I never wanted to be in trouble
with the police so avoid playing the black market gambling, I prefer to play online gambling using a VPN.

no.gambling isnt the cause for covid to appear in the uk but covid spreads naturally .
 theres already covid cases on all countries including in the uk  .
uk was in the countries where new covid variation has spotted and illegal gambling may fasten the spread of this new deadly virus but if the govermments can react now and starts to hunt illegal gambling they can save more lives . for legal gambling , they are organized and can operate contiously because the government can easily regulate them

I hope the UK can reduce the new case. I think for legal gambling, they can cooperate with the owner to control the spreading. I hope the government can make strict every place that usually has a crowd to save more lives. I don't follow what happens to the UK, but I hope everything can under control by the government.

Where gambling is legal there are other side of it and that's illegal black market gambling because this is open and unrestricted, ultra gamblers and risk takers wants a place where there are no presence of authorities or they are not bound by any laws, sometimes this place is where drug dealers and illegal transaction occur, because they are protected and they pay for their protection.

The drug dealers and the other people who have an illegal business can play on illegal gambling in a hidden place because they don't have to bond to some laws except the gambling place. They can make a deal too on that place, so the illegal gambling will help them transact with the other. But if that spreads more new Covid variant cases, I think the illegal gambling must warn them because the owner doesn't want to see their place get raided by the government.

[Cling18]

I have never tried doing any illegal form of gambling such as black market gambling which involves lots of prohibited things like illegal drugs. I think one of the reasons why there are underground gambling is because of the inexistence of legal gambling in their country. The government should do something to stop underground gambling because it could affect even innocent people when they spread the COVID virus but they should also do something about the legalization of gambling in their country because if not, illegal activities like this would still continue because gamblers will always find ways to gamble.

-Despite having Gambling as a controlled legal sport the black market continues to flourish. WHY ?
What are your opinions?

https://www.gamblinginsider.com/news/11001/new-bgc-research-shows-number-of-customers-using-black-market-sites-has-more-than-doubled

Now why should it be a matter of concern?
- With the new Variant already in the UK these illegal platforms might be a hub for the fast spread of COVID plaguing the whole world
-there is no minor protection policies
-more illegal things are drug dealing and money laundering might be connected with such cases.

I do think the government needs to actually look forth for their licensing policies they time and again force the small gambling companies to shut off their business but at the same time doing it illegally doesn't make it any less of a crime.

What are your thoughts ?
Have you ever tried Gambling in the black market ?

It is easy to see why there is a black market for gambling, casinos are heavily taxed and while they can still earn great profits out of it many people prefer to open illegal casinos and get more profits that way, but then why customers use illegal casinos? One answer is that they do not know they are using an illegal casino, but another option is that since the casino is not paying taxes they could offer better odds to their customers and they prefer to use such casino despite its illegal nature.

I think a week ago (or a bit more) we had a thread about illegal gambling in Thailand! I researched that topic and found out what's happening there... maybe two days ago in my local newspaper I saw they busted 3 houses where some people organized illegal gambling activities, all 3 houses are closed! Now we read about black market in Britain...
So you are right Shasha, it's happening around the world, and probably these illegal casinos are for people on the margins, outcasts of any kind... people who don't like to go to fancy legal houses, or they can't go there, or simply they don't think they have enough money to play in legal casinos... Whatever the case is this illegal casinos exist, and as it looks like governments can't do anything about it!

I agree, black market gambling thrives in a poor country, I guess this is a way to past their time or just simply wanted to gamble for a quick money. And I would say that in Asia, it is prevalent as government lack of control and corruption is still the main reason why this underground gambling continues. And then we have corruption, most of the time the elected officials like the Mayors and Governors are the one protecting this illegal bookies. But I don't think that is applicable to Great Britain.

I have used "black market" gambling in a sort of way, I gamble on crypto sportsbooks and thats not allowed in my nation, we already have sportsbooks that are legal here but their odds are nowhere near the same, they are very very bad, and they are not paying good for both sides as well, if it was just favorites with lower odds but underdogs higher odds I would understand but they are paying low odds for both sides and even the draw.

So, I do gamble on black market because places that are legit and allowed screws you over with the odds and do not pay you great deal of profit, which is why I think it is obvious that we are in a situation where black markets are a better option to gamble than real sportsbooks. Even if a place that we all love in black market ends up getting a legit license, they turn to being worse, so basically being licensed and legit makes a place worse.
