Charitable Casinos

[Davidvictorson]

A charitable casino means a casino limited to a building, or portion of a building, a) providing equipment, management and personnel for the purposes of conducting a non- profit casino, where a portion of the net income benefits various charities; and b) operated by a provincially licensed charitable management company.

I am familiar with charitable events but this is my first time to hear about charitable casino. The funds realized are used for relief aid, counternarcotics assistance, helping to people fighting with a cancer, and many other good causes.  As a matter of fact, I will be participating in one this weekend to raise funds for people displaced by conflict in my country. My mindset is just to have fun. However, I will try to win but then if I lose, I will know it will be a cash assistance for those in need. My budget for this is just $300.

Did you know that there are other casinos that donate a part of their revenue to do some good in this world?

• Betoncharity: It is just an amazing that from 4 up to 40 percent of the Betoncharity.com house win go towards charity. That said, we are that shocked by their generosity as we do imagine the declared 4 societies claims on resources: - Red Crescent & International Red Cross; The Institute of UCSF Aids Research; Foundation called Make-a-Wish America; the American Cancer Society.
• Paf: The Finish oriented organizations, with the best kind of promo – “Play among friends”-, have been calling poker, slots, and more of live and online casino players for help towards the Red Cross, including supported welfare associations for children, since 1966.
• RehabBingo: Not many people suspect it is the RehabBingo.com as a big help and an important sponsor of the Rehab group to fifty thousand disabled people with different physical and intellectual deformities across Ireland. And to be completely honest, their offering isn’t bad!
• CaptainCharity: Among the rest, we’ve discovered CaptainCharity by the address CaptainCharity.com, the organization shares 50% of the profit with 10 institutions, and later it is planned even more societies, which are chosen by players above ever. As far as we can see, it’s like the world of gambling is moving to the people advantage.

Have you played in a charitable casino or will you consider doing it?

If the charity casino were a crypto casino, I would consider playing there as a portion of the casino's earnings would go to the people who need it. I think this can attract people's interest in giving to charity, even though they play gambling first before giving it. Even if they lose, the money will be donated by the casino to needy people, so we shouldn't be sad. And that is a positive activity that casinos can do so that people who play there know that their money will be distributed to places that are needed. But maybe some don't want to play in such charity casinos because they think it is something different.

It sound funny to be honest lol.

Many countries doesn't allow gambling activities, so it's impossible if there's a project want to create a charitable casino, because even though their intention is good, but they're breaking their country rules.

IMO charitable casino seems wouldn't survive in the long run because there's must be a lucky gambler will win big. Since the charitable casino doesn't have big bankroll because they've transfer their money to a charity or the poor, they will suffer a problem.

I am not aware of these charity casinos, its highly recommended to play on these casinos and if ever they create an announcement I will fully support this kind of casino, we will not feel bad if we ever lose money because we are helping people in need, in my country our lottery is being managed by our government and a big portion of the profit goes to charitable institutions for the poorest in our country, that is why the majority of people in our country are supporting it betting on it because they never know if they will be the next to ask for help in the institutions that benefit from these lotteries.
But even if they are charity-based casinos they should build their reputation, pay winners and address issues.

Casinos in New Hampshire are required to donate at least 35% of gaming revenue to charities. Also, state lottery profits are  go in public education.
Casinos and slot machines in Finland donate some profit to charities. Casino Helsinki donates all of its profits to charities and social activities.
This Swedish charity lottery distributes roughly 30% of its total revenue to Swedish charities too ^[Source]
There are charities done by casinos in Norway and in Canada too.

Bitcoza offering "world’s first charity Bitcoin Casino".
Somehow I can't access this website but seems it's the first bitcoin charity casino.

Btw charitable casinos give meaning to lost money, you know that instead of rich people, at least some part of it was spent for improving the lives of people. But to be honest, that's not something that many gamer is interested in. Charitable casinos don't have that much players and profit to offer good promotions, better support and experience unlike traditional casinos, so, they still attract more people.

I am aware of charitable casinos but I have not thought of playing on any before, maybe because I prefer the top casinos before I joined this forum. In my country I go for local casinos that is well known everywhere and in the world I go for bet365 at the time. When I know this forum, I have no reason to still continue to use other betting sites that do not have their own official thread on this forum. I may look for one of the charitable casinos later on to see how it is, I remember a time that  my country football player, Kanu that is now retired wanted to build a charitable casinos but I do not know if it is actually existing now or not.

[piebeyb]

i just found out from this thread that there are charity casinos out there, to be honest i will play for charity regardless i lose at gambling it's at least for charity it won't matter lol
but i need to know about this casino, because never heard of charity casino in a while, thanks for sharing information in this thread

I'm aware that some of the proceeds of casino are often put on some charitable institutions, but still depends on the casino owner themselves. Because we all know that they are in the business of making money so it might be some conflict there.

But here there are casinos being sponsored by government or under their umbrella, so the proceeds really goes to the government and not just for charity.

So it's good to hear that there are still casinos who donated part of their revenues to charitable institutions.

Well, all casinos should maintain good credibility regardless if they are charity-based or not, otherwise people will not support it and will find other casinos to bet. Personally, I have heard before about charity based casino but I don’t know if something like this exists in our country. But if there is any, I guess I should start taking part on it by betting some of my extra funds on it. Either it’s a win or lose, at least I have contributed a good amount to help those people who are in bad position right now.

I've always wanted MintDice to be able to send a portion of it's revenue to open source software development, mostly in the name of disrupting Big Tech in as many ways as possible. Unfortunately it hasn't had the traction to be able to afford to do that yet. Hopefully one day

If a casino do not have the qualities of competing with other casinos, nobody will care if it is for charity or not, what people care most about is the qualities that casinos have which makes them to enjoy staying. As for me, I will prefer to just make a direct donation for charity, I like the qualities many gambling site here on this forum are having. The mission is to get money for charity purpose, we can also pay directly to the charity address or account number while making use of other casinos too. I will like people to tell us about their experience while they make use of charitable casino.

I like the idea, but this kinda seems like a sketchy marketing scheme, that is being done by those "charitable casinos". How can we be sure that those casinos are keeping their promise and actually spending a portion of their profits for charity? Perhaps blockchain technology could be used, so we could track the transactions from those casinos to the charity projects. A little more transparency would be great.
In many countries around the world the gambling industry is being heavily taxed and the tax revenue is used for funding healthcare programs(like programs for fighting drug, alcohol and gambling addictions). This seems way more transparent than relying on the generosity of a bunch of casino owners.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

This is new to me as well and I am suprised to the point of doubting if it is fake.

As important as casinos have been in the history of bitcoin and this forum, it is strange that those of us commenting in this thread are the first to hear about them.

Besides, it doesn't really fit in: something that is considered a charitable vice? I don't know, it's like talking about charitable liquor producers or charitable tobacco companies, I don't see it.

So far there hasn't been and I've never encountered a charity casino.
If someone really has ideas and a charity casino project, maybe in the future it could become one of the casinos that can provide so positive benefits for everyone, especially for those who really need help.
I myself would be happy to play there even though I only played as best as I could but indirectly I have participated in this charity casino which has a good cause.
I'm also sure the members of this forum will also agree and they are willing to participate in the charity casino if the goal is to do charity.

[FatFork]

Yup, I know that some casinos give back by donating a portion of their revenue for charitable causes and to make a positive impact on the world. It's all part of being a responsible business and giving back to the community. They call it corporate social responsibility and it's supposedly a way for companies to make a positive impact on society, although I personally think that it's more about just another way of promoting companies.

But when it comes to the world of crypto gambling, I'm not sure if the same level of social responsibility is being upheld. As the crypto industry is still relatively new and unregulated, it may not yet have established norms for corporate social responsibility in the same way that traditional brick-and-mortar casinos have.

[Merit.s]

I haven't played in any charitable casino,and I am just hearing of it now. I will love to play on any charitable casino that accepts cryptocurrency online or if I see anyone offline,so that my funds can be used to help the sick and needy,let it be that this is my own part of contribution to those people. If it happens that I win big or small,I will continue gambling till the money is lost,but as usual,I will always have it done from my gambling budget. If the charitable casino is trustworthy and has good quality,in no time they will have more customers because funds realized is used for charity.

Yes it does sound funny because they're mixing an activity that isn't really something people aspire to do with charity. So they're trying to make people like casinos more because these ones are not so bad since they also help people. Hey, at least when you're losing money gambling it's for a good cause

I've never played in a charitable casino, in fact this is the first  time that I hear about it. It's definitely a good idea, but makes me wonder how big is the part of the profits that they donate. I know of a few charity organizations that raise money for children and they keep more than 60% of the money for themselves. Sometimes as much as 90%.

[Crypt0Gore]

There is a motherless babies home in my state and a well-known figure who owns three gambling outlets in the city wants to donate, the catholic father who is managing this motherless babies home refused the donation, it seems they have something against gambling den owners or something, this is why I thing your idea won't help, maybe in very limited countries that don't care but the majority won't accept, maybe it's the law rules or something with religion, that I can't figure out.

[Wexnident]

Haven't played on one yet. Probably cause the casinos in my area in the first place aren't really big enough ones that they'd consider using charity to create fame for their casino I guess. Maybe if it was online crypto then I can try and play on it (not even sure if they exist tbf). If they were to ever create one near me (or online) then I just might consider it, still depends on how they put out their service though in the long term.

I like the idea, but this kinda seems like a sketchy marketing scheme, that is being done by those "charitable casinos". How can we be sure that those casinos are keeping their promise and actually spending a portion of their profits for charity?

It is what it is, heck charities themselves sometimes are pretty sketchy so I wouldn't put it past me that said charitable casinos are also doing their so-called "charity" work pretty sketchily.

In many countries around the world the gambling industry is being heavily taxed and the tax revenue is used for funding healthcare programs(like programs for fighting drug, alcohol and gambling addictions). This seems way more transparent than relying on the generosity of a bunch of casino owners.

I agree, but I don't think Charity casinos get taxed less for being "charitable" in the first place so I don't really think it's an issue whether they're one or not. I guess it's just additional money spent on helping others outside of the already taxes that they give out.

Have you played in a charitable casino or will you consider doing it?

I am familiar with some gambling exercises that happen in some not-for-profit organizations such as religious institutions during fundraising for projects or charity. During these events, people bet some amount of money with the intention of winning money or gifts. I also know that some of the ways some companies carry out their social-corporate responsibility are through donations and charity work. It is heartwarming to hear that some casino firms dedicate some percentage of their earnings or profit to charity. This will indeed support people that have become hopeless due to natural disasters and war.

I have never seen or bet on any charity-based casinos. But It will be a great privilege to play in this charity casino because it gives the feeling that even if you lose, some amount of money will be utilized to take care of the needy.  Instead of sending all the money to the casino management, it is good to see that common men will benefit from my loss.
