[Discussion] Should Gambling be Banned?

[Google+]

There's always an opposition when it comes to this manner which means that every decision to be made wouldnt really counter peoples interest or with the masses preference because if they do then it would totally
affect out their popularity or position which it might result into non appealing thing on next election or something related to this.You would definitely be going on what the community prefer.
Although it might end up on not to be ethical but for sure you did make such decision which is really getting along with the majority or huge number on the said community or vicinity.
Gambling whether be banned or not would be entirely depending their own perspective and intents behind which isnt something surprising.

Yes, every decision will always have pros and cons. It's not too surprising that in every country there is a polemic about gambling being banned, but basically people will not have a big influence on the decisions they make. In my country, gambling is strictly prohibited, even if you play somewhere and are caught gambling, you may be penalized. but this does not stop people from gambling, they always play gambling in quiet places and they also have a community. officials shouldn't be able to prevent this because gambling tax revenues are large enough for the state that they have to be carefully considered if they are to make a final decision.

That is why Government should not ban gambling.  Because if they do, they are missing the benefits from it.  Look at the scenario, the government ban gambling removing the taxation benefits from the industry and yet people still go after gambling, dealing with it illegaly.  So this proves that the government failed to restrict gambling in their jurisdiction and what more, since gambling is done secretly, they are unaware on the number of addicted players and surely will fail to implement programs that will help gambling addicts because gambling addicts people will not voluntarily submit themselves on the program due to the fear of possible legal action by the government since gambling is prohibited.

People who becomes more addictive needs to be given proper care. Gamblers used to turn addictive, but very rare incidents take place for the purpose of money to gamble ending into conviction. Same as de-addiction centre for alcohol, separate centre for gambling needs to be opened. This will help gamblers realise themselves and get cure.

That is correct - government get tax on the money - so why would government ban gambling?
Also the gambling is a huge benefit to the players and the authorities - this is really not possible to ban. Although it is banned in many Islamic states. But even than people find way to play and get benefited.

They would if they can't tax it. That's it.

All those pseudo-righteous governments banning gambling for the sake of "saving society" from problematic gamblers aren't really saving the society from anything. They are just trying to make it look like that so the public supports them from their advocacy. If they can find a way to impose  taxes on these platforms, then they would allow it. Easy as that.

I understand the Islamic states. It's part of their religion and beliefs. But other countries?  

gambling is a big game. In personal as well as in professional life of the gamblor.
Also there is so much revenue this gambling is bringing to the state and to the people around so why would they ban it at first place.

From what I've seen of you, as a cryptocurrency gambler you yourself have managed it well and you as a player on any gambling platform even in your gambling past have lost a lot of money as well. and maybe also because of your experience you saw the pros and cons here and that's why that pushed you to share it here in the forum that's why you made this kind of topic, and it's a good decision you made in this matter in honestly. Thanks a lot.

besides that, for me, gambling in other countries may be illegal and for others it is legal and whatever their reason is, they definitely have a good reason for it, and for me the influence of gambling is bad but I hope not led to the banning of this type of industry.

I think sometime we are not even gambling but we lose money and we are in problem and the trouble comes uninvited.
I believe if there is one thing one should keep oneself away from - that is scam and fraud and bad intention.

I know die-hard gamblers that travel internationally just because it is illegal to gamble in their home country. Banning gambling isn’t a solution. Those people will find a way. Some of them are not even rich. They just live near the border of a gambler-friendly country and visit them when they gather enough money. Of course they always return empty handed because that’s how gambling works.

This is not a problem for those who decide to follow the path of prohibitions. You can always ban travel abroad, export money, ban VPN (to prevent online gambling), etc. The scary thing is that there will always be people who will be arranged by such measures, if only there was a good pretext. In my opinion, it is wrong to stop some theoretical future violations with the help of human rights violations in advance.

The advantage of gambling controlled by a country is that the age of players and gambling addicts can be controlled easily. my country is banned from gambling but many gambling stands illegally here, it is a big loss because the potential for taxes that should be received by the region is very large. Gambling is a potential business, the government can't fight it.

Yes, This is the common implication for totally banning gambling on the country rather than just moderate it because people will always find there way to do it regardless of legal matter as long as they fulfill there gambling needs. Aside from tax, They are letting there people to commit legal offenses which can be avoided by proper moderation of gambling.

Yes that's why its somehow not good decision by the government to ban gambling if this activities is rampant on their country because this activity will continue even if they not allow their people to do so. Maybe they just regulate it and conduct a proper gambling education since for sure this is more helpful and beneficial to their people and to their economy.

Banning of gambling could only make the situation worse. There will be more underground gambling and illegal activities that will exist. It will be better if they will regulate it and set rules and conditions rather than totally eliminate it. That will also be beneficial to the economy as well as the gamblers in a country. Sometimes too many restrictions could only worsen the situation.

You have a point but that doesn't mean that we should still gamble because of the fact of we are still losing money even if we don't participate in these activities as there are other factors aside from that.
We must still have the correct mindset to only participate in the said activity when we are searching for entertainment or means to ease blow up some steam in our lives, it is still best to know if we can afford to lose some funds or not.

As for the OP's concern about whether gambling should be banned or not, I stand to allow these activities to continue because the government could highly the revenue that this industry could produce.

the economy of a country that legalizes gambling, is much better than the banned countries because the income from taxes and other costs from gambling is able to move the wheels of the economy of a region even though the sacrifices are not small

don't say that gambling is cruel, gambling is bad because the average people who say that are those who can't control themselves and lose big when gambling

You cant really tell considering that there are lots of industries where a certain countries economic situation or status doesnt really depend on gambling alone which means that it wont really be that precise for us to tell

that they are really that dependent.If a certain country does mind off about banning gambling then for sure they arent really that minding about the revenue or tax that they could really be getting on that portion but

instead they would really be minding off about their citizens situation and wont bother themselves about taxes or something that they could get from gambling businesses.
It isnt really bad to have a gambling business around as long the governing bodies and the platforms itself would impose relevant restrictions and warnings.

Gambling is a hobby like any other. Instead of going to the movies, some people prefer to place bets. The entertainment is the same, only the funds' destiny is different. Instead of spending on tickets, popcorn, soda and candies the money will be wagered for extra profit in case of gambling.

In every cases people are 'losing' money, but only when we talk about gambling it seems to get clear and highlighted.

Yes, a good example would be Muslim countries like Azerbaijan or Turkey, which border Armenia or Georgia, where casinos are not illegal. Many people just come to spend time in casinos and spend some money for fun. In these countries it is not difficult to get in and out quickly. That's why you can spot a lot of foreigners at the casinos at weekends.

Losses happen because it is gambling but controlling loss level and not forcing you redepo your winnings are main keys for surviving in the long run. Steamers have unlimited bankroll since they get exclusive benefits for playing hours that funded by casino management. Rigged part is nonsense because almost all games are verified unless user chooses shady online casino. Especially provably fairness let us verify each bet result individually, so I will skip this part. Better to gamble on your spare time and ignore the gambling platforms when you have something to do.

agree with you banning gambling is not a solution to prevent, it's all the rights of each. however there is a way that will be done by gamblers. all of that will be felt for themselves because of the risks that have been taken, bad risks or risks for the better those who will face the risk of subsequent life changes.

Recently, many gambling site hires streamers to promote their platform and I see this as a normal marketing adoption and it looks more effective for them because it attracts many gamblers. We can’t just banned gambling just because someone is losing money at his own mistakes, gamblers should be the one to be more responsible and don’t gamble if they are not ready to lose. If the site is a compliant with the regulations, then there’s no reason for them to get closed or to be banned.

more restrictions may make someone more curious and always want to do it.
like in my country, government bans or illegalizes gambling, but in fact, many people are still doing that.
at least, the government tries to decrease the gambling addictions because of some negative sides of a gambling itself so far in the country, dealing with crimes,
but, as long as we can control ourself, it seems to be dilemma moreover if we are usual gambling
