Where does your country stand ?

[zidanw]

I would certainly agree on that, the top on the list is something I am not surprised to know as well. Australia has been indeed a topic when in comes to conversations concerning gambling rate and stuff like that. As per my country, it doesn’t stand on the list, but I believe that a lot of our citizens are also falling deep into gambling. Especially nowadays that online gambling, whether with flat or crypto, are growing popular all over our country.

[l3pox]

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.

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.

money, money, money
it's interesting how incentives change everything

by this point of view I'm surprised brazil don't allow more forms of gambling, but for sure it has a relation with the weight religion here on political decisions too...

There are places in the world which are really that rich enough for them to ban out gambling or doesnt mind about the possible revenue that it could give since they are getting sufficient
on other industries and if they would be minding about their citizens condition or for their sake against addiction then they could ban it anytime but its no surprise
that majority of countries would consider out gambling industry since it is one of the highest revenue generating which it is no surprise to have this stance.

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.

Yeah, there has to be a regulatory board that will monitor the ads that will be shown on the national television.

And that's why if it isn't approved by the government or by that board then it won't be shown. I've saw them long time ago but not anymore today so that has got my attention.

A lot of viewers would see those ads related to gambling if shown on the national tv.

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 ??

Wow, the countries you thought will be the first on the list are not there. There are more countries that gamble more than some on the list that are not there. I don't know what factors that are used to rate these countries but I think those factors needs to be known so we can be sure if these are just based on assumption or the fact.
I know country like Hong Kong and Italy that do gamble almost every single moment cause they see betting as part of life from fight betting to normal street betting that can involve any thing thinkable.

[LUCKMCFLY]

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 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.

Yes, the trend in developed countries is very good in terms of platforms, but I can also affirm something that contradicts all logic, sometimes in countries that one considers underdeveloped, but that at some point gambling and betting always work because within its people there are many who are so rich that they do not know what to spend their money on, this same example happens in Venezuela, there are people so rich that they frequent casinos a lot, at one point gambling was prohibited, now it is currently one Of the businesses that are giving money like rice, even the same government politicians spend millions of dollars on these sites, I would say that a good campaign directed at this country of online casinos would not go amiss.

In some instances, their country prohibits the use of gambling because they know the behaviour of their community and also to make sure it's safe we know how too much satisfaction and gambling urge to play high-risk rewards that can double up your assets. The same here in the PH currently one of the top gambling platforms Cockfight close by the president due to different issues too and I guess the same with another country that's they prohibited playing gambling.

I am a little surprised as why the top 10 list does not contain US and UK ? I have heard that gambling in US is at its peak but i could not find its name in top 10 list 

Another thing which i noticed is that these all countries are developed ones, however, i think that there are many gamblers who belong to the underdeveloped countries too. Aren't they included here?

The United States is not in this ranking, probably because it has a very large population and the ranking is based on the average loss per citizen of the country. Therefore, the total losses of US citizens must be huge to be in this ranking. UK may be in 11th or 12th place, who knows, unfortunately we only see the top 10 places.

I think you are mistaken here. The ranking is not based upon the loss but it is based on "Countries That Gamble The Most" and in this case US should be on top of the list. I think we should double check from another source too to check if the information provided by the site is authentic or not.

This must be based on a per capita basis right? Rather than total number of people gambling, as some of those countries have rather small populations in comparison to the UK and US examples that you gave. I also see that you mention certain countries give absolute support to crypto casinos as well and think this is wrong. You'll often find that most crypto casinos refuse to operate in places like the UK because of the stringent reporting and financial requirements that are often unfeasible to online crypto casinos, it's much easier for them to just block visitors from such countries no matter how rich they may be. It's not really a strong metric to aspire towards and it's kinda nice when you come down low in such results.

Yes, it would really vary on a particular country since they do have different jurisdiction or takings into particular things and if government do really find out that negative effects
is more rampant into its citizens then it would really be just a good gesture or a right one but if the issue isnt really that rampant or destructive then i dont
see a reason for them to set some bans or prohibition.So everything or any decision would really vary.

well, Brazil is not the richest country so at least there I don't think this is the reason
probably more relation with its morals, habits and people's mentality, as I mentioned, the big influence of religion on politics definitely plays a role on keeping gambling as a forbidden activity.

but yes, for other countries it could be, it's not everything about money

Someone says in this thread that this list is not updated and that is why US and Uk are not included, my country is not listed as well because gambling is not good here, there's a lot of issues and many people like the illegal local gambling than those who have the licensed under the government. I think more countries that are not on the list spent more, I don't know what is the basis for this but for  me since US has Las Vegas I think they should be on the top list, and most of the online gambling sites knew is created in the US and UK.

[Furious 7]

hm, this is indeed interesting when you look at things like this and they are presented with facts and data such as the statistics you are referring to but it is possible that now there has been a change because indeed if you look at the sources you have listed there it is written that the release date of the article is in 2017 and that means it was several years ago, now gambling is getting more and more crowded and maybe this will change during that period

[wxa7115]

Especially nowadays that online gambling, whether with flat or crypto, are growing popular all over our country.

The pandemic had a huge effect on the growth of online gambling, many people that in the past would not have gambled found themselves on their home with nothing to do except to look at their walls, so in their desire to get some kind of excitement they decided to begin to gamble.

And they found out that they like to gamble which is why despite the lockdowns being almost over at most countries around the world the popularity of online gambling is not decreasing, and if anything it is increasing by the day.

there must be changes that are much different from the ranking above. and I still think that America is top because Winstar World Casino is the number 1 largest casino in the world, it has a gambling area of ​​600,000 feet. and it is located in Oklahoma, US.

however i am looking for the latest information and the media keep mentioning that australia remains at the top as around 39% of its adult population is actively gambling every day.

[rodskee]

2. Singapore ( they only opened their first casino in 2010!)

Opened their casino just for 12 years and yet ? the second most gambled country in the world? I was wondering how this statistics get because singapore has a small population and also their tourist is not that huge to take this position comparing to Macau in China .
 

What about your country as well ??

We are an Open for gambling country but so far from the lists , maybe in another 10 years we will be here in rank 10.

[asus09]

My country isn't there in the list, but as per my understanding the data isn't collected yet. If precise data is being collected atleast it'll be within the top 20. Because, from outside it looks like the country is completely against gambling. In reality we've got a big number of gambling platforms to spend. In specific more and more gambling activity happens through the Rummy applications and fantasy gambling.

It seems like a big revenue is being generated by the government out of these kind of gambling, because even after hard opposition government have never given ear to it.

the country where I live is also not on the list, because my country still restricts gambling, whether online gambling or non online gambling, because my country does not allow gambling, but I am proud of my country even though it is not on the gambling list, in my country the easiest platform to do gambling is to just follow the sports platform, I always do the gambling platform there, but only football is what I'm interested in.

[ipanks]

snip

You need to be careful if you want to gamble because your country restricts gambling otherwise there is a possibility that you will be dealing with the local government especially if they find out you are gambling. But if all this time you have been fine with gambling, that's good for you because you can place bets on sports platforms. Many of us are from countries where gambling is restricted and therefore, it is better if we also limit our time in gambling to avoid problems.
