Where does your country stand ?

[coin-investor]

After reading your post I already concluded there's no way my country could be in the top 10 or even 20, we are a third world country, and average gamblers here in our country will not spend thousands of dollars or even hundreds of dollars, those who spent big money are foreigners and those who belong in the high society in our state-run casinos if we all notice these countries are rich countries their citizen can spend hundreds of dollars in one sitting.

This is shocking England isn't in the top 10 list ranking, this is questionable to ask what criteria they used on this ranking?
If for Australia I'm not surprised I have known a lot of friends from Australia who narrated to me that gambling is huge business over there.
Finally for my country I was expecting to see them somewhere around 20 upwards or should be in the top 10 because gambling is a huge business here, you can merely see a street without a betting shop.

Same here, I live in a third world country as well but I know average gamblers in my country (at least in my circumstance) spend hundred-thousands dollars in their gambling session. Regarding the list in the OP, I have no idea how the writer get the list. Is that based on some researches or based on voting from sample number of people around the world.

I personally do not see any inconsistencies between the author's list and reality and you can easily find this list on the Internet, so I think it is quite reliable. In countries where gambling is legal and regulated by the authorities you can easily get statistics on each person's spending on gambling without conducting any sociological surveys. Besides, the number of gambling establishments in this or that country can be a good indicator.

Well, just like what others have been talking about. The way the list has been made isn't accurate at all. It has its own basis and that's why many of you folks are not impressed with it. Whatever the metrics being used and done on this by the author, there will be some of the few that would find an inaccuracy on it. In our own belief, we know which places are into that list and based on that knowledge we've got, it could also be used if at some point you'll make your own article and list like this.

They cant spend hundreds or thousands of dollars in one sitting but they can easily reach that amount or even higher than that because they can gamble more often since they are much more poorer and they want more money for them to feel happy. Yes, that is the sad truth about most poor.

Money is what matters with them the most. Nothing wrong with this initiative as long as they do it in a right way like if they will just work hard to earn more money and not spend their precious money in gambling for that objective because they will likely fail. There must be a voting involved because there will be no information or data that will be gathered if they don't start with that.

The standing is only up to 10 in your source I'm sure my country cannot be in the top 10 if it's Gaming Losses Per Adult only even compulsive gamblers in our country will not bet hundreds of dollars majority of us here are small-time gamblers because only rich people can go to the casinos and play and even if there are already online casinos now, the number is not that huge to be in the top 10 but our country tolerates casinos and online casinos operations.

The article is not updated as well, for sure there's a lot of changes on this especially some countries on the list have their new restrictions with regards to gambling. I didn't see my country on the list since its a small country but we are active in gambling as well since the government even support a new online gambling, the online gambling are more active in my country and maybe there is not data yet for this.

Not surprising why my country is not on the list as most of the gamblers here only preferred to make low bets because the citizens here are not that totally rich compared to other countries. Although i have known some high rollers and most of them have high position in the government, but that won't beat the gambling status from foreign countries. Not sure if this data is based on profits or losses in gambling in a single country, but if this is the case, i'm sure my country has no huge amount to loss nor to gain.

if we all notice these countries are rich countries their citizen can spend hundreds of dollars in one sitting.

This is looking like the point there. The top ten countries are mostly those that are rich with good economy that the government provides the need of the people. Gambling is taken as fun and not something that is serious that you can think of killing yourself over it when you lose money but just to move on with life.

my country would not even appear in the top 500 because we are a poor country where there are weak laws and run by politicians who don't know anything, as far as I know my country shouldn't have more than 5 physical casinos and more than 5 casinos online, this shows how backward we are in everything that exists. here the government doesn't encourage anything, they don't create facilities for so many casinos to open here. also with the level of poverty few people know about online casinos, the lack of good quality and cheap internet is one of the factors that makes people in my country not even use online casinos, there are casinos that accept payments by mpesa and people from my parents use these casinos

[alegotardo]

I was sitting and wondering which countries might have the highest gambling rates and for me I thought it could be UK or the US but despite this I went on the web to do a rescarch on which countries gamble the most. Let's have a look at this, since this information might be interesting to you guys as well !

~snip~

What about your country as well ??

I think every economically well developed country will always have high fees for operating casinos.
Because in general, casinos are not seen with good eyes, either for cultural reasons or for encouraging illicit practices, so they push high fees in order to have some control over this sector.
Talking about my country (Brazil), here it doesn't even allow the activity of casinos.

the same as in my country where casinos are still carried out in secret. and those who are forced to play will plunge into the casino secretly. and the casino here is not only used as entertainment, but the players have high hopes that their lives can improve drastically through casino profits.

because the economy is not good and most of the people who have lost their jobs. and they make a living through casinos. but lately more and more players.

If the casino is still being carried out in secret, some rules will pressure the casino owner to follow the regulations. Or it is because your country has very strict laws regarding gambling or even prohibits it. If this is the case in your country, casino owners will choose to run their gambling business underground and seek protection from corrupt officials. It will also trigger more and more gamblers who will play at the casino because they can find comfort in playing gambling.

One could understand the rate a d level of how many of these casinos have been abused by the street gangs across the world, most claim under gambling but are real mafias, i see the need why government have to create certain regulations to curb some of these irrelevant acts by gamblers and its really affecting casinos, its a game to olay with fun but whenever a gambler stand on a verge of loosing alot there comes in triqish ways for manipulations and fight, but i think where such countries can stand is when most of the gamblers really have result to show forth for it other than causing nuisance.

Gambling is frowned up in my country and although there are virtual casinos operating here and advertising on television channels, there isn't any data statistics relating my country to gambling activity. And maybe that is because it's impossible to release accurate results, since most gambling activity works on the background of the society, in a shady manner, with the exception of the lottery ran by the government.
Anyway, I guess gambling is very popular in my area, because most people I've known practiced gambling at least once during their lifetime, being it at slots, bingo, lottery, sports betting, roulette, cards and much more.

I think I now understand why gambling in your country is restricted because if they didn't do it then it can lead to a more poorer life because in your country jobs are already limited and people have a wrong mindset about gambling because they think gambling can be a good alternative to it. Instead of prioritizing gambling and making it more legal, would it be better if the government focus first on providing jobs to their people?

There must be wealthy people living on your country and they are the ones that will treat gambling as a form of entertainment and not as a way to make more money because they are already wealthy anyway.

In what country is that which they allow ads on television? In my country, it's not allowed if it's not government-approved.

That's why it could be the same in your country but I just want to know what it is. But right now, it's quite a long until I've seen ads for gambling.

My country is starting to legalize those huge operations because of the tax that they give to the government.

Television advertisement doesnt mean that everything could really be shown of and there's regulatory board which would really be in concern on what things should be showed on tv screen
considering that there are minors or youths which could potentially able to see those gambling ads if ever they would be allowing it which it would be totally not really that good or inappropriate.
Here on my country there are several casinos too but i didnt see any ads regarding about these things which i do say that it is really just right.

The list must vary depending on different gambling news researchers, writers and journalists. But, the number 1 on OP's list is correct because Australians are all into gambling and I've read different articles pointing at some actions that gamblers in Australia take which goes against the rule of gambling. These citizens are not adults but, they use their parent's IDs as KYC which is a bad step to opening an account that most online casinos ruled out as a sin and such users can get banned for breaking the TOS of the company or platform.
