Legalized Gambling where you live..where does it stand?

[Cling18]

In our country, the government actually supports casinos and lotteries here because they're gaining benefits through taxes that they could get from their taxes. It's legally being advertised on our local television network. That's one of the reasons why lots of people are getting addicted to gambling here. What lacks here is enough information and proper education on how to get rid of gambling addiction.

Gambling is not bad but excess gambling is the problem. I think your country is just neutral about gambling activities which should not be seen as a means of getting taxes and other benefits from gambling companies. The government should not be held responsible for any gambling addiction or problem that might have being exhibited by gamblers cause every gamblers need to control there gambling rate and activities.

It's legal afaik. There are localized laws though about allowing or prohibiting gambling but in general, there's no country-wide law that gambling is prohibited, it's just up to the Mayors of each city to decide whether they would touch upon that issue or not afaik. Still, I don't think it's that rampart in my city? I've never really seen any big gambling casinos here but there are some local gambling tourneys that happen every now and then. It's like it's not officiated, and so at the same time, there's really no official place for it to happen so it just happens wherever.

So I ask you, how is it coming along where you live?  Is it fully legal, coming close to being legal, or illegal with no change in sight?

Running a gambling business is illegal in my county although there are nightclubs or bar that have such gambling facility for their visitor . when the police conduct raids they just will get a fine. but if just use an online casino,it's still safe if it's only for personal use and only for your own entertainment even some popular youtuber and instagram influencer in my country promoting some casino .

I'm glad that here in our country gambling is legal as long as the gambling operator has a license to operate, there's lottery betting run by the government but you need a franchise to run your own lottery betting, there's horse racing it's managed by the multi corporation and there's cock fighting, there's different gambling here as long as the operators are licensed to operate, there's gambling for the poor and there are for the rich one, I like betting in the lottery and Keno games here in our country, it only cost $0.40 per ticket.

In my country, every gambling form could become legal as long as it's registered to operate and secure all necessary documents to make everything legal. Still, there are a lot of illegal form of gambling hiding around the corner, but the authorities are just too lazy to catch these people, thus illegal activities like these are so rampant in all regions.
Gambling involves huge taxation that's why the government hates it when a gambling business isn't registered.

[Ryker1]

Well, in my country here is the status regarding gambling casino operation. ^{[ https://www.legalonlinecasinos.ph/ ]}
We are glad that our government did not strict on the online casino as long as it is regulated and it has a license to operate.
Perhaps they know that they can get profit by collecting tax and it could increase the tax revenue to help the economic growth which is until now we are recovering the lost fund due to the pandemic. As long as it is in a regulated way, there is no reason they will prohibit people to gamble.

I am just kind of curious how legalized gambling is coming along in whatever part of the world you live in?  I'm from Illinois in the United States and we just recently legalized many forms of gambling.  It's progressing pretty quickly too.  I'm hearing a lot of radio ads, seeing ads on TV for different sports books and what not etc.  I see this as great progress.  Free will is something we all deserve and though I know gambling can cause serious addiction etc, that shouldn't be up to our governments to decide whether we should be allowed to do it or not. 

So I ask you, how is it coming along where you live?  Is it fully legal, coming close to being legal, or illegal with no change in sight?

Where I live gambling is completely legal not only online but I can also be gambling in a casino in 15 minutes if I want, personally I prefer it this way, banning gambling only helps organized crime to get the industry for almost nothing and get incredible profits as they can fix the games and never pay the winners, this is similar to what happened during the prohibition era in which selling alcohol was made illegal and then the mafia got control of a industry that paid taxes, converted it in a huge problem for the police and then formed an empire out of it.

In Nigeria I don't think the government has turned her eyes to gambling yet. I think there is just regulation by some body or individual body though recognised in the country but I don't know yet if government has made public statement about gambling like it has made with twitter or cryptocurrency. The gambling outfit in Nigeria is soccer with series of companies running on it like bet9ja, betking , etc. As to legalizing for now I don't know how that has gone, there are warning for under 18 years not to indulge in gambling however.

Yes but with alcohol you do at least have some logistical burdens to overcome, namely you have to get the product into the hands of the consumer. With online gambling authorities know there is literally no way to ever fully stop those businesses. They just register in Cayman Islands, get some server up and running where authorities can't intervene and there you go. Legalization is pretty much the only way to get a slight control over the sector and the profits / due taxes.

I come from Indonesia, my country is strong enough to uphold the values that exist in religion, so until now the legality of gambling does not exist here

I'm sure if my country legalized gambling then there will be more gambling addicts here than there are in your country and it will definitely be a very complicated problem

at this time I am still safe playing crypto online gambling without any government intervention even though here gambling is illegal and I think it is better as it is now

[fortunecrypto]

It's legal here in our country and it's going to stay that way for a long time or permanently, casinos and lotteries are sustaining our health sectors here, income generating from these are going to the health sectors our government is managing the casinos here and so far our government is doing good managing the casino industry they sustain all public hospital here, we also have POGO here and they are privately and they are licensed and taxed government is very open to gambling as long as companies are compliant.

[bittraffic]

It's legal in my country and also hear some ads of it on the radio only not actaully on TV, they still seriously regulate not making kids see how adults are being persuaded to gamble.
Kids today don't listen to radio which I guess they prefer to advertise on radio stations and along with these ads are warning about gambling as well like doing it moderately and not engage in gambling when you are intoxicated or depressed.

Agree it is a win win situation since the government is earning tax from it and the gambling industry are the top 3 biggest paying taxes in that country which really big boost to the economy. We should only talk to good side to this since big taxes could make a lot of jobs and also the economy is good. They are also searching for those illegal ones since they don't have papers to operate. Most of the Chinese will be in that country and invest in casino since it is legal.

yeah it's legal for many years now but still not bringing any positive views from correct perspective , Only Media says it well but the
people around this circle is not that contented .
there are no even benefits from the government and from the operators, meaning they are only bagging gamblers money but not giving in return.

[ralle14]

Just like the others it's also legal but there's a bit of downside when it comes to online gambling, specifically in the perspective of the casino operators it's somewhat discouraging since they're not allowed to accept players locally. On the gambler side of things there's no downside aside from casinos that have geo restrictions. As of now i'm satisfied with the current state of gambling here in our country since online gambling is pretty much free as it gets and hopefully it doesn't change.

Offline casinos are prohibited in my country.  There are several territories where they are legal, but these territories are located in hard-to-reach places. 

Slot machines are also banned in public places.  This is due to the fact that previously this activity was not regulated in any way.  There were slot machines in the metro and at the entrance to grocery stores.  The pensioners did not have the opportunity to buy food for themselves.  They lost their pension and a small financial aid from their grandchildren in slot machines. 

Government lotteries are legal in my country. 

Online casinos are not controlled because they are located in the virtual space, and the servers are located on the territory of foreign countries.

From your question, points for online gambling sites in my country, last point.

or illegal with no change in sight?

You can see here: online gambling laws and regulations in my area.

Best 37 Online Casino​s in Indonesia

This means that all forms of gambling in Indonesia are completely illegal. There isn’t as much as a single poker room, race track, or slot machine present in the country. At least, not in any legal form.

The truth is, Indonesia has over 250,000,000 citizens, and many of them love to gamble. This is especially true in the Internet era.

Conclusion: from 37 online gambling sites, there is not one legal decision that leads to official and prohibition, you access and you play.

And here there are hundreds more online gambling sites, whose laws are the same and continue to be used by many people.

I can say that it's legal here and it is pretty open since I think the gambling in my country has some good effect in the government but there are some illegal gambling sites which the government is trying to eliminate but still there still a lot of illegal gambling here in my country. I'm still lucky since the government is not that strict about gambling.

What country if you do not mind me asking lets to get off the hook for operating a illegal gambling website? AFAIK you cannot get a permit if it is illegal in that state because the people who give the permits will check where the business is located and where it is offering a service to. Even if the company and the servers of the website are located in another country where gambling is legal it is still illegal to offer gambling services to states that have made it illegal.

It's the Philippines, the illegal gambling industry here is big, one president was even impeached because they're involved in the protection of a big illegal gambling syndicate.
