25 arrested after Rab busts mini casino in Ashulia!!

[Fredomago]

Here, in Bangladesh, it is not clear to me that those people who arrested for gambling issues are muslim. Though people are violations the rules of the country too.

Do you mean most illegal gambling operators there are governed by people outside your country or religion? It's possible and the ones who lured are your Bangladesh people.

Like here in our country, most illegal gambling operators are Chinese (not against China but that's a fact) because there is a much more strict gambling law on mainland China that giving them limitations to their operations.

Maybe the gambling operators are governed by outside of Bangladesh though I am not sure. Because it is totally illegal and none will do such things publicly. As Bangladesh is also a poor country with vast population, so there has a doubt here to govern a casino by its people. Who knows? It can be too.

You can just assume but there's also chance that there are people around the place who can finance that illegal activities, those who are willing to take the risk knowing the amount of possibile profits once everything went out accordingly right?

Just like you said, no one knows until certain information will be able to if this news will go deeper.

Money always have the power to control greed people.

Lets say that its a poor country but doesnt mean that there would be no people that wont gamble in spite of that financial reason because once there are people whom know that there are some illegal

casinos are existing then high likely that those people would come into that venue in spite of the risk that theyre taking.For operators behind then this is a big gamble on making out some

financing on making an illegal casino because they are totally prohibited and not allowed.If there's someone on the higher rank or position in the government then its possible and can

really make this illegal casino to run more longer since there's a support behind but its impossible that it wouldnt really be busted up soon.

[chaser15]

What if those arrested people claims that they were simply playing cards which is not prohibited when there is no money involved?

Do you think authorities will bust something without surveillance? lol.

The operation was planned and monitored for months. It was documented and there are several future plans to take down any illegal gambling activity there.

Try to search for other news about RAB and you will see.

This news has circulated around the world about the arrests of gambling players mini casino 'in Ashulia, Unfortunately, all those arrested are poor, they play with small stakes, this is the umpteenth case of arrests by the Dhaka government, While dhaka is predominantly Moslem, a ban on gambling in Dhaka falls under a government law that prohibits gambling, even though the law says it is a ban, I hope they are not severely punished for their mistakes. There is relief as a warning to them, because they are among the less fortunate, hopefully there is a policy on their case, convenience.

Just scrolling in social media as like regular and got this news in my news feed. This is not surprising to me but as well as it is surprising too, because maximum were young generation whose age 18+. Though any type of gambling is prohibited in Bangladesh, they should be punished. Here, I will pasting the full article,

As a low paid police officer in Bangladesh it would probably be a very lucrative business to figure out and strike these sort of gambling operations. I bet there is high demand to join this squad of casino raiders and some of the money probably gets "lost" on the way to the police station. Either way, if you live in a majority Islamic country then it does seem silly to attempt such activities when the laws are so strict against it. Hopefully they are not punished too harshly if they just wanted to play some games and were not causing any harm, it seems like seizing their money in the form of fines or some other low level penalty would be fair. If you can get married or fight for your country in the army (as part of the "young generation whose 18+") then it seems like a bit of hypocrisy to say they are not old enough to make decisions like this.

Gambling is also not allowed in India and it is more populated than Bangladesh, but still there are more and more apps coming up even in front of the eyes of government here but they still don't do anything. It's clearly written there that this game consists risks of losing money, which literally makes it to come under the gambling category but still everything's allowed. So I believe that these arrests won't be too serious and probably be dealt with by the gamblers who will just pay some money and then released.

[boyptc]

That's expected if the government has banned gambling, they shouldn't be gambling.

It's plain and simple yet they've still operated and probably the money they're raking there is quite huge. That incident is also a warning to others who have been continuing it despite the ban from the government.

Its their job to implement those rules and laws which it is normal for them to find out into those places who are totally opposing on what they are implementing.
Of course they would really be putting up some surveillance or intel's before they would be making out such action because we know that these gambling place
owners isnt really that something you can easily dealt with specially these are big time ones, you wouldnt know on whose behind been supporting it.
These events cant only be seen on typical places but rather on major parts or places in the globe.

Maybe if these people will cooperate and tells everything, they might be sentenced to a much lighter penalties.

Sometimes the people got caught can turned into witness especially if they have a hint of a big operators doing such things.

These poor people are no different to people from other countries that have no choice but to take risks on that activity as there's money there.

Maybe they don't have complaint thats why they didn't put an action towards it and they don't see it as a threat, if you think it already cost damage to the citizen and know people who's addicted to much on those illegal casino popping up on your country better report it on proper authority so that we can see a good action towards it. But if they will not take an action even if they receive to many complaints well there's a big problem on the government since maybe they paid to protect their illegal existince.

Whatever the age, if it is illegal and also prohibited, moreover if gambling is prohibited and there is a clear law about it in the country, there will be arrested. Like in my country, it is illegal. But, what's about the justice of the punishment that they will get?

Despite being a gambling-prohibited country, why there are lots of mini-casinos operating there? It's impossible that no corruption involved here or under the table negotiations.

And of course, actually, those gamblers or kids may have known about the law, however, it is something common if there is a rule, there is an infringement. And this seems to be very usual happening or they may only need to pay some money and then they're free again. I don't know about the law there. 
In my country, gambling is also prohibited, but we cannot stop gambling because it is like a habit. About the money to pay for the regulation there to avoid being arrested from gambling? About corruption, I think that probably many countries are still the same

[Slow death]

this is a very complicated situation that the government should seriously think about if it will continue with this law in the future, because the future is inevitable that more young people start to create more casinos and are interested in gambling. the world is evolving and religion is proving inefficient in solving people's problems, just look at the case of covid-19 that showed that religions that said they cured diseases were all lies because no religion was able to cure covid- 19 and people are watching this closely. That’s why I think the government of Bangladesh should start changing its view of casinos

[AmoreJaz]

These kinds of raids are not new in Bangladesh. They are a Muslim country and that's one of the reasons why gambling is prohibited there. But still, lots of people there doing gambling.

Those mini-casinos are running illegally so they are being taken down by RAB since then. That activity can't be stopped and as reported, there are lots of illegal casinos operating behind the shadow there.

if this is a long-running prob in their country, why not just legalised the gambling activity? ive read here , that horse racing is legal in their country but all the others are prohibited. something is not right. imo, better legalised these other gambling activities and get the tax from it.
 i agree that more then likely, there are under the table negotiations here why they keep on sprouting. because if they will be totally strict about it, i dont think people will be encourage to continue these illegal gambling activities.

[Hippocrypto]

There should be a strict verification from casino itself, they must not allow minor age to play casino games. The most liable for this case is the establishment because they're the one responsible for the actions of these young individuals. If they imposed strict requirements from their client casino players, and age will be determined I don't think it will happen to those underaged people.
But, that's with local casino operations and we don't know how rampant is young people bets with gambling using online platforms and they still remained anonymous right now.

[just_Alice]

When will the countries that ban gambling finally understand? While they're taking away such entertainment from people - underground casinos will keep popping up. They basically have 2 possible decisions: either legalize the gambling business and have control and profit, or ban and deal with such law violations for the rest of their lives, while everything flows out of control and all the money goes somewhere else.
Now, I realize that gambling is prohibited by Islam, but isn't there a way to still make this work? For instance, the Qur’an bans all the games, that are dependent on chance, maybe the governments of Islamic countries could've at least legalized those games, which aren't entirely dependent on chance? That would be at least something.

There would be something called bribery when those illegal casinos existing for long already even after receiving lots of complaints then theres nothing they can do.

Unless if there would be some immediate action on other governing bodies then that might really be investigated and would be raided down.When it comes to muslim countries then

gambling is definitely a prohibited thing specially in Islam religion so you would really be expecting these but there are people who still trying to violate for the
sake of potential big profits where citizens do still tend to play in spite of the restriction.

The same authorities who are being silent when the black money from the politicians are transferring with no hurdles so its just a target for them to complete not to stop anything intentionally, and Do you think arresting 25 peoples will stop the underground gambling activities in that country or the arrested people will spend their lifetime in jail?

None of the things will happen.

[avikz]

Well! That's pretty much how illegal casinos operate in every country where gambling is illegal. And trust me, in South Asian countries like India or Bangladesh, police already knows where such casinos are being operated. They have weekly/monthly arrangements with the casino owners. There must have been a disagreement between the police force and this particular casino owner on the amount of money or something else and that's the reason why they were busted by RAB.

You will see a similar sight in a city called "Mahabaleswar" in India. In the main market area, you will see a lot of shops are operating casino boards quite openly. Do you think police doesn't know that!! Everything here is an arrangement made between police force and the business owners which is beneficial for both of them! In a country where unemployment is high, such kind of activities will never cease to stop.

For some obvious case this was just for compilation of those police officers, well, there's a case that they just want to file for promotions and that's the sad reality. They are self-centered and hope karma would take them with such incidents, hoping the gamblers that been busted there only got small charges on them because if they just gamble just for a penny that's too sad if they will be fined for more than that.

The bigger problem is that the illegal gambling operators themselves are oftentimes the ones who could actually do something significant to make the lives of the poor a little better. More often than not, the illegal gambling lords are either government officials themselves or their rich close relatives and friends.

I, too, come from a developing country and I have first-hand experience of local officials who are also the very people running the illegal gambling rings. The policemen, who are the very people tasked to uphold the law, are their cohorts and protectors. The chief law enforcers are mostly, if not all, under the gambling bosses' payroll.

So there's your government leaders. What else could we expect from them?

The only way to solve that is to improve the conditions of working on those fields and teach children at a very young age about principles and integrity. Also, to put a law that will strike down real heavy on this corrupt people and always reward the integrity of the government officials that enforce the law to encourage destroying corruption. I believe that if we change the mentality of children about corruption then we can probably deter them from growing on the wrong path.
