Will Gambling Legalization Reduce Gambling Rings?

[Davidvictorson]

Gambling rings are high-risk and high-reward operations that take advantage of market demand and turn it in their favor. Their modus operandi thrives on secrecy and they are involved in organizing all sorts of gambling games - slots, poker, blackjack, sports bet etc.Although the law enforcement agencies are doing their best, it is still a lot of work trying to crackdown on these rings. Gambling rings are illegal and people who are caught may either pay a huge fine or serve jail time.

I want to believe that so many people who patronize these gambling rings may have lost a lot of money or scammed and there is nothing they can do about it. And one of the reasons why people may even choose to patronize these gambling rings aside the high rewards is because gambling is banned in their society.

However I am thinking that if gambling is legalized, we would see a drastic reduction (not total elimination) in the operations of these rings. My reasons are that their activities will be carried out in a fair and transparent manner such that cases of frauds and scams will be eliminated as there will be proper mechanisms in place to prevent and protect the gamblers.

First of all there is no real need to go in these illegal gambling rings as in Internet now there is an opportunity for anyone who wants to play and with crypto this is even easier.I have heard a lot of bad things about these illegal rings and no I am not talking about being scammed as that is mainstream in these rings,I have even seen stories of people who had kill one person who kept winning at poker so these are truly dangerous and legalizing the gambling will not help much as these rings entice users by offering higher rewards than normal casinos.

It is user and gambler awareness that should be the real medicine for people to stop going to such places and risk their lives there.

Yes, most likely. Even if a country, state, or province legalizes casinos, there will still be a minority group of racketeers who will take advantage of the taxless underground businesses. Regardless of how the government handles the situation, there will still be bad actors who will find ways to bypass any legal issues.

The real problem here is not the gambling rings itself, but how casinos are being advertised openly to the public and how easy it is for children to be exposed from such marketing campaigns. And perhaps the government's lack of control mechanism to prevent people from being addicted to gambling that could eventually lead to debt.

The easier it is for the consumer to gamble, the less likely they will need/want to frequent illegal operations. Why risk jail or a huge fine playing somewhere it's not legal if you can go up the road to a legal establishment and play? Of course that is also assuming the legal establishment is fair to the players.

Even though this seems like minor plagiarism it is still plagiarism and you might get reported for this. I googled the first sentence and there are many websites that use the exact same sentence and they all copy paste this from each other but that doesn't mean you can do the same thing here.

Just saying.

Thanks you for the heads up. However if you noticed the the first two words "Gambling Rings" is embedded in a hyperlink which leads you to the website you have pointed out. Move your cursor on it and see that it is in blue.

Anyways, thank you once again. Next time, I will state the link expressly at the end.

[Wexnident]

Do you think that there is a role that gambling legalization will play in reducing the activities of gambling rings?

Definitely. I see no reason why illegal activity would exist if the said activity was allowed in the first place, albeit with rules and laws enforced on it. Regardless of the limitations placed on it, it still is a matter of fact that the activity is completely legal already. In the first place, I reckon with it being legal, people wouldn't necessarily risk being fined for doing it illegally. They could possibly just register it themselves as a legal business.

There'd probably be a few more who would still do it, but it might be because the entity behind casinos is supposed to be only owned by the government or something similar, kind of not giving them a chance. I highly doubt they'd get much of a customer base though which makes the idea itself kind of not worth it.

Do you think that there is a role that gambling legalization will play in reducing the activities of gambling rings?

Definitely, not only that it will be a win win situation for the government and the gamblers, by legalizing it the government can impose and collect taxes from the legalized gambling organizations and the gamblers can file a complaint to authorities to mediate on their behalf.
Gambling rings used to be very rampant in our country we have an illegal lottery and it is done guerilla type sometimes in a remote place where they held their draw, only the gambling lord makes a lot of money from this, if they legalize gambling the government is the one that will benefit.

I saw the link. That's how I found out the website in the first place. The thing is, there isn't anything to separate the copy/paste text from the rest of the text which makes it look like you are also the author of the first sentence which isn't true.

Like I said It is not a big deal to me but someone picky with this stuff might use it against you.

These illegal rings can be incredibly dangerous, and stories of violence are not uncommon. However, even if gambling is legalized, there will always be a group of people who will try to take advantage of it for their own gain. It's up to the government to enforce laws and regulations to prevent these bad actors from exploiting the system. Legalizing gambling can also bring in more revenue for the government, and provide a safer and more regulated environment for gamblers. In the end, it's a win-win situation for everyone involved, except for criminals.

[acroman08]

Do you think that there is a role that gambling legalization will play in reducing the activities of gambling rings?

yes, you can't deny that legalizing gambling will reduce illegal gambling rings, especially in rich city areas, but then again, despite gambling being legal I am certain that government will require anyone to have a casino/gambling permit before they can operate a casino, and casino permits can be quite expensive. the illegal underground casino I usually see in the past are just some run-down secret rooms with very few gambling machines (usually Video Karera) and people playing either mahjong or some popular local card games and from the looks of it, I doubt they can afford a gambling permit.

[ethereumhunter]

If the government legalizes one illegal activity, maybe another illegal activity also wants to be legalized and will demand the government to legalize it too. But if it's a casino that wants to be legalized, I guess it will depend on the regulations on gambling itself. If gambling is banned in that country, the casino can't ask for the casino to be legalized either. It would probably be better if the casino stayed on the illegal side and operated underground especially if the owner had some influence in the illegal business circles. But although gambling is legalized in many countries, it does not guarantee that it can eliminate fraud because it depends on the casino itself. If the casino really intends to cheat its customers, they do not have to have a legal license from the government.

You could have made a distinction in your enquiry regarding those countries that have legalized gambling system and those that have not legalized it and not to ask a general question like every country is in an unlegalized gambling environment.

However to your question, IMO I don't think legalizing gambling will stop gambling rings or those who try to benefit illegally by deceiving bettors on their reputation. We have had questionable gambling casinos even in this forum existing side by side with legalized casinos.

Scammers will always find ways to beat the legal system. To create a strong law against scammers to punish and prosecute them when proven on their attrocity will help but yet won't stop gambling rings.

Do you think that there is a role that gambling legalization will play in reducing the activities of gambling rings?

In societies with very strict rules forbidding gambling activities, It is expected that the activities of gambling rings will be thriving especially in those societies where gambling was a thing at some point before its declaration as illegal. It is not an activity that people will consider to just stop because their government has asked them to, many might turn to gambling rings. If gambling is legalized in such places, these people will no longer see any need to patronize these secret gambling rings where they are unable to report whatever happens to them. They will prefer the casino's and gambling places that will want to operate in line with government policies. Gambling legalization will reduce gambling rings.

[Sanitough]

I think that's a good idea, especially in countries where it's not really against their religion.

Gambling is not bad in general, as long as we gamble responsibly and with proper education. Legalizing it will help gamblers to be responsible and they will know that they should only risk what they can afford to lose. In our country, some forms of gambling are regulated while others are banned, but some operators do not stop and instead run illegal gambling sites, and there are still people who patronize them.

Therefore, legalizing them may be a better option.

At times like this were there are many ways to do gambling it is unnecessary now to try casinos that are not operating legally, we have options to choose what casino we will play with or if it’s prohibited in that country some still find ways to do it thru online gambling. Though it is better if gambling will be legal to avoid people having  violations but government should be strict in implementation or in reminding their people to avoid too much addiction on it. In my country when there are news that affects people too much that causes harm to the players there are laws implemented that will eliminate that specific game to avoid more damage.

Do you think that there is a role that gambling legalization will play in reducing the activities of gambling rings?

Gambling is legal in my country for over a decade now and yet you can still see a lot of illegal gambling activities so technically, this one can't totally be limited not unless the government will strictly implement their policy especially with a higher punishment once get caught.

The problem as well is if you have corrupt officials who are also organizing such illegal activities, making it legal doesn't necessary mean no more illegal gambling, you might reduce it at first but eventually they will grow again probably in some area.

[Jawhead999]

It's too obvious when gambling is legalized it will minimize gambling rings or cheating, because the rules will be more tougher and it's need a well understanding to find the loophole.

Like I said It is not a big deal to me but someone picky with this stuff might use it against you.

It's the mistake from the user who want to accuse if the @OP is plagiarism, this is nothing new anymore when someone hide his source and want to make anything he posted is come from him. I'd say it's fall on grey area, but it doesn't deserve to get banned.

I agree with you, however, we have to keep in mind not everyone has access to internet, especially elders who don't dominate technology, so they still resort to illegal gambling services when living in countries where the activity is forbidden by authorities. It would be totally positive for these people if gambling were legalized by the local governments and it would also have a powerful impact on the weakening of gambling rings, although I don't think they can completely disappear.

If illegal there is a risk of getting fined and going to jail, if it is legal you can play freely and openly and gambling platforms can promote their platform openly.
For the government more revenues, for gambling profits more profit and expansion, and for gamblers will not have to play secretly and can complain to the right agency when cheated.
We all want legality in all our actions we'll have peace of mind and nothing to worry about being charged in court.
