Where does your country stand ?

Depressive statistics for gamblers  
I wonder why such an indicator was chosen - the average loss of a gambler, and not the "average amount of bets" or something like that? It is no surprise to anyone that on average the casino always wins and the player loses, but such statistics suggest that the one who paid for the study and publication of the results is an opponent of gambling and puts it in a negative light.

Though the data is not accurate as it is, but we are seeing snapshots on how much gamblers are losing per country. It may be depressing statistics but we don't know the motive of this study or maybe, that's the figure they can obtain to determine where each country stand when it comes to average loss of a gambler. Also, there are also missing figures like approximately how many gamblers are losing that amount. Anyway, this is just one of the gambling statistics out there. If you change the parameter, the ranking will be different.

Well, my country is not on the list. However, if the statistics is taken by continent, then it would have be first country on the list. I am not surprised to see the US topping the list. I am interested in Greece. I never thought of it like that.

Actually, it's Australia that's on the top and not the US, there's no US on the list but I'm expecting them to be at the top of it. Greece is an interesting country and I didn't know that they'll be having that many people who spend that much on gambling.
I guess every country has that prior data about the expenditures of the people through gambling.

^ I don't know if the US will be on the list, as I know people in the US are heavily regulated and probably gambling is prohibited to them, I am not from the US but I just draw this conclusion because they are very strict when it comes to financial flow and I think that is the reason there is no gambler on the US.
Australia and Singapore are the leading countries that have many gamblers based on the report of the Google and I think it seems right.

Is the article updated or outdated?

I went through the latest articles from 2020 in its category and didn't find the article. Maybe the articles were posted in 2017 but I don't bother to check the list for 2017 as it's time-consuming.

Maybe there was a change now in the stats since the pandemic happened 3 years later when that article was posted and gambling activities around the world becomes a trendy thing during the pandemic lockdown.

They're just the same with those countries, they've got Las Vegas and it depends on the state. But as a whole, that's what I think about them.

Thats why im not really taking out seriously when it comes to survey results or statistics in something that correlates with big industries including gambling which is a large scope
which means that numbers couldnt really be that precise.

There would be gamblers might not really be included or listed but basing up with some things like revenue and taxes then this is the way they might able to
put up some numbers but pretty much sure it wont really be that accurate.

If there's a basis for their stats and it's accurate then that's it but, we know that some articles and stats don't show where they've got the numbers that's part of their surveys.

my country is not in the list above. but that's understandable.

but countries like Japan and America are not in the list of 10 countries above. maybe I misunderstood this country. then it was very surprising for me too. and that's an amazing find. but for hongkong and canada i don't think it's surprising to be at the top of the list.

It is also the same, my country will not be on the list because gambling is something that is illegal. And it is exactly understanable.
Well, maybe the lists are only from the site and it depends on one how their statistic and also evaluation of each country itself. Or maybe, there is some certain calculation that is missing? As far as I know, the US, CHina, and also Japan are two big countries that are commonly related to the gambling industry. They can gain very big $ from gambling, but they are not listed on the site.
Well, once again, it may depend on the reviewer itself?

You are right. In my country, gambling is still taboo.
America and Japan issues are indeed as you said this country is no stranger when it comes to gambling. but it was not included in the list of the top 10. there may be factors that cause this country is not included in the top 10. or maybe because these 2 countries are developed countries and the people there are busy working so even though gambling is legal there but in reality the people there have very little free time so they only have a little time to gamble. especially Japan with a very busy work schedule plus overtime every day. so gambling time becomes very limited even though it is legal.

Japan is actually not that open to gambling. It cannot be compared to the United States where gambling is very much accepted in their society. Although many online casinos are operating in Japan, there are no land-based casinos there. Of course gambling is still allowed but to a very limited degree. They have a law which prohibits much of gambling. Although there are still gambling facilities around the country but these are not casinos.

I'm happy seeing the list that the most gamblers are coming from developed countries, because if it does come from an underdeveloped country where poverty is at its worst, then we can say that they are making the life worst. I live in a country where gambling is illegal, we have casinos but people here are only allowed to work while the tourists are the ones gambling, so I'm happy with that setup.

US, UK, and CHINA, they should be the top 3.

I remember a topic before here that some casino owners are setting up gambling businesses in an area where the majority is not that rich, but not that poor. I can't find the related topic unfortunately but I think the OP here was the same? Not sure though.

On the positive side, the casino established in those areas gives a positive effect on the people since it creates job opportunities. Most customers also came from other areas and did not totally come from the place where the casino was established. It also opens small business opportunities to those people there.

And if I remember correctly, the reason why casinos choose to set up in those areas is to avoid high taxes.

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 !

1. Australia
2. Singapore ( they only opened their first casino in 2010!)
3. Ireland
4. Canada
5. Finland
6. Italy
7. Hong Kong
8. Norway
9. Greece
10. Spain !!

I was just as surprised as you guys since I did expect other countries to show up here as well instead of the ones that already did but you can recheck the same on the source : https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.worldatlas.com/amp/articles/countries-that-gamble-the-most.html
Other than that US , Canada,. Japan , UK are few of the countries known for their absolute support of the crypto casinos as well.
What about your country as well ??

To be honest, I've always been stuck with the idea that America is the country with the most gamblers, but after seeing the topic you made I started to think that Las Vegas only has a small number of casinos in countries otherthan like Australia and Singapore , both countries can said to be a country located in and near asia, is it possible if we interpret asian peoples prefer to gamble compared to westerners or europeans today?

[efialtis]

I actually from Philippines and I don't see my country on the list but looking at the complete statistics given above I see that Philippines is top 4 for the house that always win that's why it is not surprising that we are not no the top list of the gamblers lol  no players doesn't want to lose every time and with house that always win it only shows that players in our country is always losing.

Well, this statistic is about "Gaming Losses Per Adult", and as we can see Australia is leading with a reported loss of $1,288.00 per adult, while second place belongs to Singapore with a reported loss of $1,174.00 per adult! You can check more on this link:
https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/countries-that-gamble-the-most.html

So definitely the Philippines are not on the top of the losing list! Of course, if you guys from there win more often than you lose!

https://guardian.ng/sport/top-5-countries-with-the-most-online-casino-gamblers/

Another research from another angle... In which country do people gamble the most?!
1. Canada
2. UK
3. USA
4. New Zealand
5. Japan

Nice article, you can check how these countries got on this list!

Statistics can be fun, but it's not something important! People from all over the world gamble! In listed countries, the minimum paycheck is very high compared with my country, and many other countries, so it's normal for people from these developed countries to gamble more!

Why am I not surprised that Greece is on the list? 

Seriously, the amount of gamblers here is insane, pretty much everyone gambles, no matter the age. No surprise that one of the few super profitable companies in the country is gambling related. 

[swogerino]

The country where I live now from some years although has a small population should be at the top of that list because I think it took the government to ban every single small gambling entity here leaving only two casinos,the biggest ones.In 2019 the government took this step as even 11 years old were playing sport betting with money that their parents had given them for food,the situation was extremely disturbing so the government intervened.This all happened in Albania in 2019 while many here say this was just a move to favor the brother of the Prime Minister as he has the only online gambling platform allowed to play here,but by doing so the government also removed a big plague from the society here,it shows that since then economic growth is only increasing as mostly men bring home the salaries now rather than leaving all of it in neighbors small betting centers which do not exist anymore.

[inthelongrun]

I am now curious as to which citizens gamble most. It should be the whole betting volume of a country divided by its total citizens. I cannot find one reliable source. Maybe because tourists are flocking to places with the biggest betting volumes like Macau and the US? And that made it harder to account the betting volume per country? So they just come up with many numbers like most losses per adult and country, top gambling revenue per country and so on.

well, average loss definitely attracts more clicks
there's the Schadenfreude effect of it as well

would be interesting to see other data like
total casino revenue on each contry
revenue per different gambling activity (lottery, slots, etc...)
so forth and so on

[Peanutswar]

My country does not on the list well not quite obvious because we are in the part of the people just earning below the minimum wage but still, they are manage playing gambling like the poker and blackjack but not like in the casino things having a large wage, just a small amount for casual games. As I saw the process of the game too and the wage mostly the game will end up to 5 hours game and the wages is maximum of 2-3 dollars per game. In terms of crypto the centralized wallet does not allowed making a transaction with those and that's why mostly they use an exchange to make sure the account they are using are safe from freeze and holding of funds.

[jrrsparkles]

Vegas? I don't think those articles provided accurate results and based on what reference these results were posted?

Anyway no matter what is your country,if the gambling is legal and you decides to gamble then be ready to lose the money you are betting with and here We are in 2022 there is no need to visit countries to gamble it is on your fingertips.

Yes, a study with one parameter is absolutely meaningless. For example, in this case, none of the poor countries is present in this rating, although it is well known that gambling is very common in poor countries. But due to the chosen parameter, we will never "see" this, since the standard of living in such countries does not allow spending comparable amounts on gambling, even if they make up a large part of a person's budget.

[Sterbens]

If we expanded to the 50 to 100 countries in which the biggest gamblers were, we'd see more lists that most of us would like to see here. Since the 10 largest countries are in the same class as the US and UK they are not included, let alone any other smaller countries not exposed on the list. However, it is possible that almost everyone gambles in a cross-border way that is more undetected in their own country.

If we do talk about numbers of players/gamblers then for sure this statistics or ranking would be suddenly be changed and its true that there are factors affecting these kind of surveys or statistics
on which first world gamblers would be always be having on the edge or on top because they are financially capabled comparing into hundreds of players who do play less in terms of finances or bet
amount which its understandable that they do only focus on the overall revenue or money generated from those activities.

I don't know why Philippines isn't included in the list but it was understandable as our country doesn't really do online / crypto gambling but are more fond of local gambling such as Cockfighting, Horseracing, Lotto, and there's even a cost-friendly casinos called "Perya" (in which I already assure you have more audiences than high costing casinos) Our country even endorses Off-shore gambling companies hence a country where some online casino resides. As also mentioned by joeperry, the houseedge of casinos in here really is low or we might just been living our decades having families that made gambling their daily routines
