Where does your country stand ?

[peter0425]

Singapore ? at number 2? with 12 years running gambling in their country ? cannot believe the list lol, Imagine Singapore is just a Small country but will take the next to the highest rank as gambling being on topic.

But  for me personally ? we should not celebrate being one of the country in this list because gambling means losses of the players and not of the owners  , meaning that it is the people will suffer from this.

[jostorres]

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 can say that my own country is heavily addicted in gambling because that is what I observed around me. Almost all people here in our place, but even not on my place, are always caught out playing a gambling. They are addicted to gambling that even the illegal types of gambling are already included in their play.

On the news there are many gamblers that have been reported to get caught by the police. Online or crypto gambling might help these people to gamble secretly. I am only surprised that my country is not yet in the list but the another thing that surprised me is that Singapore is already in the 2nd list despite they started gambling too late.

[Pmalek]

I am very surprised to see countries such as Norway and Finland on a list together with some hardcore gambling nations. I have spent some time in Scandinavia in the past and gambling wasn't a big thing back in those days. I guess things have changed especially with the evolution of online casinos. I remember them as being quite passionate about horse racing and lotteries. But physical casinos and sportsbooks weren't that easy to find.   

[Saisher]

I always believe that my country could be one of the tops because of the huge number of people that gamble because every corner of the streets has a lottery here, but being a third world country majority here will not even think of spending thousands of dollars in a month, they are spending a few hundreds every month and it's already considered serious gambling.

[Gozie51]

I was thinking that gambling is associated with bad economy cum poverty that pushes people especially youth to luck games and endeavors but to my surprise I have not seen developing world countries or less technological developed countries in the list or except Singapore if they are considered as such. Rather most of the countries on the list are European countries and Asia that are known as developed countries. African countries are not in the first 10, this however has taken away my assumption of poverty being associated with gambling.
US is not there surprisingly but I didn't expect to see UK on it.

[judeafante]

But  for me personally ? we should not celebrate being one of the country in this list because gambling means losses of the players and not of the owners  , meaning that it is the people will suffer from this.

I'm also glad that my country is not on the top list even if our government is the one running the casinos here, no one wants to see their country on the top list, they do not want to see that their country is the home of many gamblers because as we all know
gambling is a big concern not only for families but also for their respective countries, our country is very much relying upon taxes coming from gambling but our citizens are not going to the point that they are spending thousands of dollars just to gamble.

[Doan9269]

Should i assume the accuracy of the data research that mentioned Australia as the best gambling country because I can't be sure of the prelocedures or means they arrived at this, possibly the rate amd numbers of gambling casinos and the involvement of the gamblers but the statistics couldn't be as accurate as expected all thesame, but i think this might still be a good directive by taking into consideration country's population, numbers of registered casinos, and as well as the rate of active gamblers on each casinos, why i said this is because i also as well sees my country to be one of the most active gambling country of which its not onnthe aboove mentioned list by OP

Maybe the fact that the residents of these countries are law-abiding and use the services of only legal online casinos is also important, so all their spending is included in the statistics. Obviously, many residents of countries with strict regulation or high taxes take advantage of the opportunities provided by the Internet and cryptocurrencies, and thus their spending is not taken into account in such statistical studies.

If gambling is not regulated then maybe we cannot see the real statistics of a country and maybe that data shows because they have proper regulation towards gambling and they already count the number of user based on the platforms statistics given to them by casinos. Maybe for now we cannot see how deep the problem of a country towards this issue so I guess all of the country should have proper regulation so that they can study and take action about possible implication what gambling can brought to their citizens.

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 

Most gambling platform here in the Philippines is just a large company of casinos and of course only in the high class can afford that instead we have for the middle class and lower which is the stated by  Maus0728 they are popular in the Philippines most the Online sabong or online cockfight some of the medium is using with the cryptocurrency for making transactions, the managers are the one who responsible to make a cashout if they want and of course the large number of participants the large referral for the invitee to this is just one to earn in that online cockfight too. That's why this is one of the trends in the PH not only enjoying but also can earn through referral too.

The online sabong or online cock fighting is having huge headlines it reaches the senate investigation because of the
anomalies, the Philippine government is making a huge profit from the taxes of this online sabong I don't know the exact figures but with it being a controversial form of gambling here in the Philippines, I will not wonder if the Philippines will reach the top spot in the futures, because the government doesn't want it stopped because of the huge profit they are bringing to the government when they needed it most.

Yes, I agree. In fact, Norway and Finland have state-controlled monopolies on all forms of gambling, both offline and online, so its surprising that they are among the top gambling countries. I also fail to see how they can be compared to the Australia or some of the other "gambling countries". This could be because these countries have a very popular state lottery, and since the list is ranked by gambling losses per adult, this would explain why they are in it. State lotteries have probably the worst odds of any common form of gambling and are known for very low RTPs.

[TheGreatPython]

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.

They are not in the top list but US along with UK and others was specially mentioned in the thread. There are threads like this before where US is included on the top list and I think on some thread it was rank 1st. Maybe that guy based his reply on those surveys and not this one here? UK and China are also on the top list other than US according to the other surveys about gambling.

This gives us a confusion if who among them is telling the truth. I don't know if what you guys will feel when you see your country being on the list even not on top? Will you feel proud or will you will feel ashamed? Gambling the most doesn't mean to be that they are addicted or always losing.

[wxa7115]

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.

At least to me the biggest surprise is to not see the UK being the leader by far, after all there are a great deal of casinos there and many times there are complaints from the population against this reality and yet they are not on the top 10.

Now it does not surprises me that the US is not on the top of list, it may seem odd to some but as an example a city like Las Vegas is mostly a touristic city, and even if people from the US go to Las Vegas it is really the international tourism which keeps the city afloat.

Lottery we do know does have almost-close to impossible kind of odds and thats why they are really that accumulating huge prizes and of course they would get nasty % of that total amount.

Considering we are talking about millions then it would really be a good source or revenue for a certain country.This do talk or mention about in overall aspect.
Surveys couldnt really be that on precise for us to rely or believe on and if we do tend to look around or list then we could really see different results or
pile up of countries.

Before the online cockfight in the PH was just a hobby by the people because they enjoy the fighting of their breed chickens, and of course, some people would like to offer an event in an arena. There's an issue with these because of the large name involved, but it's out of the topic. If there's a list in Asia doing these fights, PH is one of them. Also, there's a connection between this. That's why they can't manage to stop and deal with, of course, the Politics connection.

Isn't it obvious that will be the case then? There is also one thread about the number of slot machines they have, but I'm not sure about the statistics are far as online gambling though (fiat and crypto), but I will assume the numbers are also higher. A lot of surprises in the list, nevertheless, with the advent of pandemic, maybe the reason is that gamblers went online and there could be a set of gamblers who, because they are bored, just started to play online.

[STT]

Rate of gambling in population not revenues figures where surely USA or Japan would win and I think Japanese big bettors travel to USA for the nice comp given.   Really this all depends how they measure gambling, most countries I think lottery is most common widespread.   Also there is telephone entries, sometimes this is called quiz lines but in fact its gambling.  Then final unaccounted for widespread gamble is gaming, even during a sports game they often operate a gamble for money feature and its worth billions to the gaming industry and its not called gambling perfect business.
  True accuracy is unlikely in this poll, as per all statistics there is bias within.

oh i understand thanks to your explanation. like in japan every payday so people line up to buy the lottery. and betting on horse racing is common. and many other examples in everyday life. which will not be counted. Most of the ones recorded are online-based because they are easy to statistic.

[Wimex]

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 thought that the United States would be at the top of the list, so it seems surprising to me that it is not this way, because it is not surprising that in this region there is a city practically focused on entertainment, I mean Las Vegas which is best known for its large buildings for games and bets, but it turns out that investigating more about this topic there are statistics and studies by experts focused on this year 2022, where they show that this territory occupies only sixth place compared to Australia, Singapore, Pilipinas and even with Macao that takes first place with earnings of up to USD 1,354.

Of course reading a little more, these positions are only focused on who generates more income per person, but if we start to categorize by the best gaming club in the world, the United States would already take the second position, because Macao apparently is very well structured and involved for being the first and best in this area.
Macau has

There are 38 casinos in Macau, including major projects from global players like Sands and Wynn, and Melco Crown.

In addition, I think it is important to highlight that:

Although gambling is illegal in mainland China, Macau is a gambling haven. 50% of Macau’s revenue is made up from gambling alone. In 2018 the city made almost $38 billion.

In this link you can get a little more advice on how the percentages of both online and traditional games are distributed.
