Charitable Casinos

[chaser15]

Unusual to see such here in our country or maybe I'm not just used to hearing it. But I can say that I'm always up to date at those new casinos here (online) and honestly, already tried several of them but none of those I believed falls in the category of being a charitable casino.

Do these casinos mostly physical casinos? If that is so, it's good to take part in these casinos as at least, while we gamble and lose money in the process, we are somehow contributing money to the casino funds intended for charity purposes.

I just do hope that these casinos are legitimate and really support some charities and not just for a show-off to attract more users.

Are these mostly private companies? Government-owned?

If government-owned, I always take part in it by supporting the biggest lottery here. Not expecting to win but I'm buying at least 3-5 tickets per a week on regular basis. I know that there's a higher chance to be struck by lightning instead of winning the lottery but I don't mind it. Proceeds of the national lottery here are intended for supporting the government's charitable activity and additional revenue for infrastructure.

If private companies, well I hope I can find some here. But of course, these casinos have to be legally registered and games are following the fairness system. More importantly, have the characteristics of a good casino.

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

Have you tried suggesting it to them? However, if you are the only one who will do it then it will be hard for them to be convinced. You might need to encourage other people as well or those who play on that casino to do the same thing. Donating doesn't always mean a huge amount but any amounts can also do since donating is not a mandatory thing.

They should realize that there are also other companies who are doing their part so the small amount that they are giving will still look huge if combined with other smaller amounts. I like the casino who has an initiative about this and this could attract more people to play on their platform.

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

Well, personally, I do not see the difference between a charitable casino and a normal casino out there, because at some points, even a normal casino do take of their profit to support the need in the society.
Take for example, Stake.com., stakes as I know have been involved in giving away to the needy around the world, Infact, in the last event, stake donated over 1 million dollars to a community to help create jobs and reduce poverty in the community..

So what  I am saying right now is that, there are a lot of casinos who are silently contributing to humanitarian welfare, that we do not know  about.

[goinmerry]

I think some casinos are already doing that charitable work but not tagging their casino business as charitable casinos.

Regardless of the purpose, a casino is a casino and what they prioritized is to work as a normal casino the charitable side should not be the main agenda as it might lead others to think that the casino is using charity to build its name.

I remember freebitco.in organized a charity drive on their gambling site but I don't remember how it turned out.

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.

Even if it’s not a crypto casino, I would never hesitate to bet on it as long as it’s a licensed and a reputable casino. Because the fact that the casino’s share will also proceed to helping people in need, for me that is a relieve especially if I made consistent losses from that casino. But of course, I would never gamble just to lose, but most likely to make personal profits too. At least, I’m having fun and I’m also gaining rewards from it.

[Casdinyard]

It's good, and a win-win situation for both sides. As the casino avoids having to pay high taxes due to them being classified as a non-profit/charitable organization, and it's also good that they are trying to help people with the earnings they accumulate, although it is only good if they donate these earnings through a bona fide charity, and not one that they just setup to funnel all their earnings into so as to avoid taxes like what most rich people do nowadays.

I hadn't even considered that casino profits could be used to help the needy and to fund various research. In my opinion charity is a good trend and it doesn't matter if the casino constantly sends a portion of its profits to charity or holds one-time charity events. If the money is really sent to people who need it, this is a good cause, which deserves at least respect from both gamblers and society.

i believe some casinos really do charitable activities but usually they are not publishing them for the consumption of the public. though i can understand if some will disclose it especially if the donation is significant as it can give them good image to the community.
and also, i dont think they will give significant portion to charities in long-term basis. for sure, they set-up a gambling business for profitable reasons not because of charitable reasons.

Charity casino?, I just heard about it and found it a little odd. to be honest, i like ideas related to charities. but for casinos, this seems a little bit ambiguous to me personally. the casino business is a profitable business and even if the charity casino sells well in the market with many users. automatically, will bring a lot of profit. however, problems will arise once the charity casinos have become very established casinos. There is a potential for misappropriation or embezzlement of funds, although the original plan was that charitable casinos were designed to raise money and then donate it to charitable causes.

I don't mean to be negative, but a business designed like this is very vulnerable to misappropriation of funds. at least, supervision is needed by the relevant agencies so that abuse does not occur. to be honest, i prefer to use the favorite casino available in our community. related to charitable activities, I prefer to distribute it myself to people around my environment.

[KTChampions]

In my opinion, this sounds the most ambiguous. Well, it seems like a husband tells his wife when asked where he is going: to do charity work 
I support both gambling and charity, but it seems to me that it is wrong to mix (at least so obviously) these things. Gambling companies may donate a portion of their income to charity without such explicit disclosure. In this version, it looks like helping gamblers in a "deal" with their conscience.

[Unsoldier]

This is the first time I've heard of a charity casino. If you think about it, any casino can do charity work. All you have to do is donate part of your profits to a good cause. I think it's a good initiative. A gambler losing money in a casino helps people. Sounds great!

[Viscore]

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 should still have no unresolved issues especially if it pertains to winnings withrawal as it’s the most important factor that customers will always consider. At least, if they are still considered reputable and trusted by gamblers, I would always support that casino so that I could also take part in helping those people who are less fortunate. Having said that, losing from this casino will never give me a heavy heart as my losses will also benefit other people.

I dont know if this one is something that could be trust up but this is a recent casino that do charity works.
Im aint sure if they are the first.

Bitcoza offering "world’s first charity Bitcoin Casino"

Charitable works is always been good to look at which it is really only a few of these business platforms or companies whom would be considering out such act.
We do know that they would always come for the profits which is understandable but having considerations on making donations in part of their revenue
is something that commendable.

They have this kind of outreach program and supporting the community, though some site are not disclosing it especially with crypto gambling site. If there’s a casinos that is purely about charity then for sure there’s a limit on how much you can earn so they can be more effective. This is a good initiative and of course, good for the people who are in need of something. Haven’t tried playing on this kind of casino but I’m willing to play of course.

[Hispo]

I read about charity events as well, like charity lotteries or charity bingo, but I was not aware there were stablished casinos or game places dedicated to gather money for charity as part of their perpetual gambling operations.

I have never partaken on a casino like those, but I would definitely give it a try, it is for a good cause, after all. It is a plus if they make public what section of the population benefits from their philanthropy. 

I assume these casinos also keep a big enough bankroll to pay those who hit the jackpot? It would be unfortunate if someone end ups winning a lot of money and the casino cant pay it, because they donated a significant part of their money last month. 

[Fortify]

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.

It doesn't sound like a very clever or well thought out idea. The whole thing sounds like it would be heavily opposed and not in any way welcomed by charities because in reality gambling is the source of a lot of suffering for many people with very few winners not outweighing that fact. If people wanted to give to charity, their are much more effective ways of doing it than via what many would consider a vice for pleasure and entertainment, putting down a small amount with the hope of winning a much bigger one. However the other end of the spectrum, the extreme addicts, can end up in all sorts of miserable situations which are often what charities are trying to solve in the first place. It's like cigarette companies sponsoring a healthy sport like football - there is clearly an ulterior motive.

You'd be surprised by the sheer amount of desperate charitable institutions out there that are bleeding money every single day, and would be willing to accept donations and money wherever it vame from. At the very least these casinos are more than capable of providing "clean" money albeit coming from the misfortune of their players. I think it's only fair that these organizations be allowed and be obligated in some circumstances to donate money because they gotta give the money back to the people somehow.

[bitbollo]

here in Italy there is nothing like this.
maybe some donations are made to charity but there is no a "structure" dedicated to these activities.

it would be interesting to understand how they manage to support themselves financially and which part of the profits is donated (I hope that all the donations are verifiable...)

Exactly, most of them do corporate social responsibility and they can donate more if they continue to earn more so wondering as well why there’s a casino focuses more on Charity, I only know the government controlled lottery booth and nothing more. If the site is still fair and have a good reputation, then probably I’ll try playing with them since their purpose is still good, and you might also be part of that charity program by losing money on their site.
