Dubai's Government and Gambling

[gagux123]

Well, this is one of the reasons that we cannot trust everything they post on the internet, because it could be false information.

Dubai and the United Arab Emirates are countries that receive several tourists, if legalized gambling, some money could enter in country and could help the economy.
 
I don’t know the politics and culture of these people are, I just don’t understand why these countries don’t legalize
ps: I may have said something stupid, because I don't really know these countries.

Then again I don't know if real gambling is so decisive for the GNP. I have no idea, but by now I believe the digital gambling industry is probably much bigger than the real gambling industry? It is not the case for Vegas, yes, but the real deal takes place on the Internet I would assume.

Yes, I guess so because the internet becomes bigger now. Every country has a better internet connection, making it easier for people to browse a gambling website without anyone. The income of online gambling becomes bigger now as we are still at the pandemic and make people work from home and stay in their homes to make them have more time to browse any website to search for more sources of income.

we have social media and online games to keep us company but this is not enough to the person that grows with gambling and they will find a way to sneak and illegaly gamble .
 is it true that thier laws are connected to thier religion but what if someone will transfer to a different religion .
can that be a solution to make gambling legal again ?

That's the sad thing, being raised in an environment that is bad influence to you and in those formative years is were most habits formed that dies hard. My when they did converted to another or renounced their faith maybe they can finally gamble. Arab states have a really high connection with their faith in their affairs in their state.

I don't think there need for someone to sneak and gamble in Dubai, Dubai is a world trading center and a country that holds such rank in the world is expected to welcome diverse of business benefits from different settings.
The truth is that the Dubai government never support gambling due to their religious law and they were also never against it.

For religious reason Dubai government doesn't support gambling activities. Dubai is a country which runs on the revenue from oil and tourism. For a country that grows out of tourism having casinos will be a big attraction. As the government is against gambling Dubai hasn't got one yet. In one way or the other they're against gambling with valid reason. If I'm not wrong, online gambling too is restricted within Dubai.

It's quite confusing, but actually Dubai isn't a country, but a city, which belongs to the United Arab Emirates, that is the country. I think there is a total of seven cities in UAE and each of them is considered an emirate which have total autonomy over their own areas. The capital is Abu Dhabi, although Dubai is the most famous one.
They don't legalize gambling because of the muslim religion, which plays a big role on their local society. Different from the occident and some oriental countries, they don't differentiate religion from public administration. The called Laic State doesn't exist there.

LOL.. do you really think that the United Arab Emirates, and the Emirate of Dubai in particular needs to attract tourists to boost up their GDP?  There are only around 1 million Emirati citizens and the UAE produce 3.8 million barrels of crude oil per day. That is 3.8 barrel of oil for every citizen per day!!! And they own some of the world's most valuable sovereign wealth funds. The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority alone holds assets worth $710 billion. Still think they need tourism to survive? 

[gagux123]

Well, as I said, I don't know what the culture and politics of the United Arab Emirates is like, I asked this question just out of curiosity.
Anyway, what country would not like more money entering in your country? Most of the time, anyone like money

Yes, I recognize the UAE is one of the richest countries in oil production, but an issue that I find interesting is, how these countries will behave with the massive increase of several vehicles powered by energy!?!
I think this is a good theme to we discuss in another topic

As been said it's because of their culture that they are preserving, among Arab Countries or Middle East countries Dubai is the most advanced and open for development and changes but they are still strict on their religion rules and culture like in marriage, clothing and gambling. They might accept some gambling races but not to the point having a casino to legalize or built within their country for preservation of their culture.

If just for the economy, gambling isn't necessary to support their economy even amid pandemic.

You already said it loud and clear, UAE is one of the most visited countries. Take note that gambling isn't the one reason for it so just think about it, they have lots of resources to support their economy without gambling, and why they achieved their current status today.

Make sense.

When it comes to resources then theres no doubt that UAE is one of the most richest and most visited due to those very reason.Its true that they arent needing gambling business or any other that do oppose into their
religion matters just for the benefit of making revenue yet they can already sustain such thing.

They can set out their rules without minding it because they can really stand on their own and can find another which do make out more revenue but it isnt really that much importante.

We can eventually tell on spot that they arent really much needing when it comes to financial development or totally as a whole when it comes to progress.

Yes, really, I forgot to say that.
I did a quick search around here and realized that United Arab Emirates and other countries are very religious and strictly follow their faith, for this and other reasons, is no gambling there, and these countries really don't need this to be able to improve their economy

UAE is more liberal when compared to the other Muslim countries, but there are a few things that you need to remind before visiting that country. Unmarried couples are not allowed as per the law, although it is tolerated to a degree. Recreational drugs are strictly prohibited, and in case you are caught, then you can expect the courts handing down a death sentence, which can't be appealed further. There are things that are illegal, but tolerated to a certain degree. But if you are unlucky enough, then you will be prosecuted for these.

Didn't know about this, I just assumed that they are all strict since Islam is a strict religion that has been following their Qur'an for a long time, not meaning to offend but being more liberal even though your primary faith is strict is a progressive thing to do.

Dubai is quite lax in their way. While they are a Muslim country, they do not feel the need to impose the religion as a matter of state, but rather as a social matter and a question of tradition and manners. Other countries in the area could learn that being flexible with betting, drinking and other "forbidden" activities is a sign of a strong system and not the opposite.

I think that rather than luck is a question of knowing when and how you can get away with it. In essence, they are not keen in pushing foreigners to forcibly comply, but they won´t allow an open and public display of rule-breaking behaviour.

I remember the case of a couple that was not married and were working there. They did not hide that fact and they were told that either they married or they could not live together.

There is no detail analysis which prove that online gambling is bigger than real-life gambling. However, I have the same feeling that Internet casino has overcame the current gambling industry because we have likely a thousand of different casino with more than 50% are anonymous. Moreover, countries with strict rules do not stop people from gambling but instead make people find an escape way to join the cyber gambling industry. China is the most populous country with 2 billion citizens and they still yet legalize gambling

[Ucy]

Ofcourse, gambling should remain illegal in the country. No sane society will allow their people to gamble or take big risk with their money or time.
I believe It would be easy to obtain licenses in the country as a Betting site who only encourages safe/responsible betting rather than gambling(which lots of people equate to "big risk").
By the way, there is no such thing as "Safe/Responsible Gambling, but I understand that people who don't know the truth will combine both words, thinking that betting is thesame as gambling.

Bet, but don't gamble. Promote safe betting not Gambling.
If you choose to gamble  after being warned, you are on your own.

It will be difficult to make other Arab states to follow suit with those things because as I have said Islam is a strict religion. Maybe we can see that kind of thing from happening someday but right now, I don't think that it will happen anytime soon.

Everything depends on the interpretation of the Islamic laws. When the Sharia law was written down, there were no casinos around. The modern scholars claim that Islam prohibits gambling, by interpreting the laws as per their own liking. If UAE can permit gambling and alcohol, then it makes no sense for other Islamic nations to prohibit it. Because Arab countries are regarded as the birth place of Islam. And personally, my opinion is that the religious laws need to change according to the changing times.
