Gambling effects on LGBTQ+ People

[bittraffic]

I disagree though, let me quote from the article,

According to Dr Bush-Evans, “life stressors” such as discrimination, social isolation and harassment can serve as triggers to push some LGBTQ+ individuals to gambling. The research is still ongoing. The results from the completed study are expected to be published later this year.

I doubt that what triggers LGBTQ to gambling has nothing to do with harassment, for me just like the rest of us. They want to enjoy and have fun and to some extend  win some money just like the rest of us.

Just last night I went to a traditional base gambling and saw some members of the LGBTGQ community and just simply playing, simply as that. I doubt that they are there because they feel isolated or something. In fact they are all laughing and I even saw them getting drunk and no one cares.

Well, I may quote another text from the article which clearly states that LGBTQ+ people face harassment in their life and casino is not different place where they do not face the same situation.

The study flagged that 71% of the interviewed LGBTQ+ adults admitted that they have experienced some form of discrimination or harassment in their life.

The complete case study and research will be published later this year and that report may reveal more shocking facts about this behavior by the society as a whole. I wish they come up with something to stop this act of people towards LGBTQ and treat them as a normal human being.

The only reason why they are harassed is because they are the first to approach men who don't like sleeping with them. But generally, people don't mind whatever they do they have rights just as any other man. If they gamble in casinos, no one minds as long as it's their own money they spend.

I can only assume this article is from a woke revisionist as they were always been this way as if they are the oppressed community. It changes everything, now people are so much afraid of talking about them for fear they might be offended.

Recently research was held by Dr Reece Bush-Evans who told that online gambling could Hide the sexuality of the LGBTQ+ people and most of these people prefer online gambling as compared to physical gambling for obvious reasons.

The more important concern for the LGBTQ+ people is that they are being treated differently in a casino which may come under harassment. Also, the study says that people at the casino, the staff plus the public have shown discriminatory behavior towards these people.

New Research Explores Effect of Gambling on LGBTQ+ People

Can most of the LGBTQ+ people really be distinguished by their looks and appearance? I mean, most gay and lesbian people look completely normal and you can't tell whether they are gay or straight. How could the casino staff discriminate such people?
I understand that some of the trans gender people look really "flamboyant" and tend to stand out from the crowd by their appearance, but they are a really small number.
I have never seen LGBTQ+ gamblers in my entire life. Maybe that's the main reason. They are all gambling online.
Most gamblers are men. I also have never seen a female gambler in my entire life.

They will face harassment, discrimination and other things too. One they are different. Two not everyone is happy is their life choices. Even outside of the casino, anywhere there is a physical meeting and the ratio of straight people  are higher than LGBTQ people , there will be discrimination. Well that by the side. A sensible solution to harassment is to have an LGBTQ only casino. No straight people. Only LGBTQ people from the helm of affairs to the  customers. This is an alternative for those who don't like to gamble all the time online.

Are we seriously having this conversation? WTF? Like I don't have when we have gays and lesbians but I hate America for legalizing LGBTQ+, something that should be considered as abomination, I know that whenever the US legalize something it's because they are benefitting from it, I am already thinking that higher position people, rulers and leaders in that country are also LGBTQ+ that's why this is now a normal thing.

It's true that LGBTQ+ people are getting slammed, not only in casinos but everywhere and they deserve it, but why are they going to casinos? Everyone has a smartphone on them I believe, they should stay at home and visit any online casino.

It's a confused world we are living in today, for LGBTQ+ people, it should be COVID-19 2.0.

First time I am hearing about that issue, it's quite sad if people are too afraid to visit a real casino and only play online. Hopefully there will be some punishments for the physical casinos that treat LGBTQ+ people differently, same goes for the employees. In my opinion we are all the same, everybody wants to have a good time and for the casino it shouldn't really matter who is placing their bets and who wins in their house. I would have thought that the casino is more interested in having a larger number of visitors to make a higher profit. This is another great example of the benefit of online gambling over the traditional casinos, there is no racism or treating people differently for their believes. Personally, I prefer online gambling anyways more than visiting my local casino, because its more comfortable. I don't have to drive to so far, can stay in my home, have a snack when I want and can take breaks and watch a movie if I am too tired.

I also believe that the LGBTQ community is being used to divide the country and create more chaos. Certainly, they benefitted from the chaos it brings, and it's not the weirdest game they play here because somehow the righteous and sanest thing to do these days can be disregarded all because it is said by someone from the Republican side.  

When parents advise their LGBTQ sons to avoid drunk men, they instead shout back at their parents blaming them for being homophobic. Discrimination is everywhere, get used to it because even parents don't like their sons or daughters to be that way. Parents want their kids to have a normal life. But whether they are gay or les, they can play in casinos and go everywhere.  They don't have to bother themselves with what others say because people will always have a say in anything.

How does that person know they are LGBTQ+? Is it because of the documents sent to the online casino or is there a behavior that is different from LGBTQ+ so there is discrimination against these people including from staff and other users?

I understand that LGBTQ+ is contradictory in some countries, there is still this ban even though LGBTQ+ is very strong in some countries, but I won't comment too much because for me LGBTQ+ is a contradictory gender.

I also thought the same thing, how can they be known as LGBTQ+, whether from their behavior or what they use when they come to the casino, I didn't read the article but isn't harassment also got to people other than LGBTQ+?
And in my opinion, they use online casinos because indeed that is a fairly common thing nowadays because it can be done anywhere and the issue of harassment is not impossible it's just the act of the media to get readers from the LGBTQ+ community because they feel they have the support of the media, because in my opinion, the casino will treat the players the same regardless of gender because they are the ones who provide benefits for the casino.

As any service online, casinos would help lgbt people to stay gender neutral. Most of forum members here literally look genderless even in our forums because we don't put our ids, photos et cetera. I think lgbtq people could be harassed a lot in some countries if they visited physical casinos because some countries have strict anti-lgbt laws. I don't understand why anyways, casino players are like walking money, if you are businessman you wouldnt care about your customer's sexual identity/gender/orientation.

Online gambling is a godsend not just for LGBTQ+ people, but for poor people, third world country people etc. It will always be superior to offline gambling in certain ways like this particular way.

We are actually lucky to be alive in a time where it's possible to gamble online without worrying about our financial status, race etc.

To me that article seems pure propaganda more than anything else. In most developed countries, LGTBQ+ people have more rights than ever and are less discriminated than ever. However, there are many people whose economic livelihood depends on the continued existence of discrimination. Studies could also be carried out to see if women, blacks or the group that comes to mind are discriminated against in gambling or in other areas of our societies.

The only reason why they are harassed is because they are the first to approach men who don't like sleeping with them.

Without denying that there may be some isolated case of what you say, it is generally not so. Gay people notice if you're gay or not, and if you're not, they don't bother you. At least that is the experience that I have had and I have had some friendship with a few.

As if the poor can't find their ways into a nearby casino or betting spot, in my country before online gambling become this popular, many poor people will head into a gambling den nearby and gamble their money away, some will result into crime life where they have to do bad things to get money to pay debt they owe due to losses in gambling, so poor people still gambles before online gambling became reality.

The difference now is poor people can peacefully gamble without anyone knowing that they are into gambling, back in those days, some people find it not cool to visit the gambling den while there are loads of people coming and going in front of the gambling den, once someone you know sees you, they will likely spread the news.

As for LGBTQ+ we are now in a free world where anyone can do as they see fit, even the law is now protecting some big popular pedophiles around the world, they are everywhere, LGBTQ+ should stay where they are, do not come to south Africa or Ghana, I trust my African people, even the Tribes in Africa knows that you can't be a female pretending to be male, it's wrath of God you are seeking for.

[Jawhead999]

The research was conducted on UK and it's territories, I thought they weren't discriminate the LGBTQ+ people because the country already accept them. Well, most people can't accept the unusual thing like sexual orientation, religion, race etc, so it's understandable LGBTQ+ people got discrimination.

This is one reason why online gambling become popular, there are many introvert, discriminated, or disability people out there.

[xSkylarx]

The only thing that I can imagine on this is that most of the normal gamblers that are LGBTQ will attend only online casinos, but there are other people that will attend physical casinos, and those people are very rich, like having a bodyguard and security because the feeling is very different when playing the actual one, and for sure they want it, but if those people are just like us normal people, for sure they are scared to go to a physical casino as they are bullied or worse, get hurt.

I agree with the research conducted by Dr Reece Bush-Evans on LGBTQIA related to physical and online gambling, basically LGBTQ behavior is very conservative towards sexuality or intersex as a group, so the research conducted by Dr Reece is correct, they will experience the effects of harassment that cannot be avoided, if they choose to gamble in physical casinos, online casinos feel safe for them to do so.

In other places we also often see LGBTQ people often carry out gambling activities, but they prefer to gamble in physical casinos rather than online, because they often come in groups, In my opinion, Dr. Reece's research was only carried out in a few countries, where this actually happened, harassment, but if we explore deeper there are also quite a lot of LGBTQ people who are involved in physical gambling, maybe it depends on the casino owner accepting them as honored guests or harassment.

I have nothing against that community and its people. But every sector of these specific groups and community looks like having their own sense of entitlement that they're discriminated against. How about those normal and no gender bias people that are also being discriminated against?
There's no gender preference in all forms of discrimination. Everyone can be a victim of it, a gambler or not, a member of LGBTQ+ or not as in everyone can be targeted by those establishments and individuals that do like to do so.

Gender is nothing in gambling, as long as you have the money to gamble you are welcome.
Though the society still have the issues with other gender but I think, you must ignore it and just focus on your gambling activities. If playing online makes you more confident to gamble then so be it, no one will judge you online and I agree about the discrimination if you are going to play on physical casinos, well that’s the reality.

You're right, it should just be ignored and it shouldn't be given that much attention if it's with gambling. It's because almost everywhere, there's racist and it chooses no gender, and the same with the discrimination that people are getting in society. This is the reality that we're involved with, we just have to choose to be the better person and avoid doing such. But even with that, we can't avoid that there will always be those type of people that will discriminate others for whatever they are.

I actually didn't think to research this, in fact I think most of the LGBTQ+ people prefer to gamble in online casinos because of the convenience and efficiency they get instead of having to go to a physical casino.

Although online gambling offer convenience and ease of access, but LGBTQ+ people may also prefer online gambling because of discrimination and harassment. I am not sure though.

Not sure what you mean?
In this day and age I really don't believe that there is still discrimination against LGBTQ+ because there are many easier ways for someone to get satisfaction without having to harass LGBTQ+, especially if this is done in a casino, so it clearly doesn't make sense.

But it seems that people in the casino or the staff are unlikely to be abusive, as it is clearly against the rules and makes no sense at all.
Even so, we shouldn't easily believe in this research because LGBTQ+ are scattered in various countries so their reasons for choosing to play at online casinos have different reasons.

Probably, but according to what I am reading about that research, I want to believe in it. It is conducted on hundreds of LGBTQ+ people which are gamblers, they are telling their experience while they are gambling offline and the reason they prefer online gambling.

What people can disagree to about this is if the participants involved are small and there should be more participants.

LGBTQ+ are not only hundreds of people, but there are thousands all over the world so if you want to do research or research, you have to come from different sources and not just in one or two countries.
If in the past maybe that happened but for now I'm more unsure of things like that.

It's weird. I'd been into some casinos here and I cannot find anything wrong with having an LGBTQ+ playing. Even if they dress in their usual clothes as long as they are not loud and trying to get the attention of the people around then there should be nothing wrong.

I haven't seen a scenario of bullying of an LGBTQ+ in a casino but maybe this is possible in countries where old traditions are still very popular. So it also means that whether they are in a casino or not, bullying on LGBTQ+ members is still happening. 

Online casinos though are free from anything because no one sees us. No eye will judge our looks or the way we play. But still, everyone should be treated equally.

IMO, they cannot escape discrimination even thru online casinos. I have seen it in the chatbox at Stake.com, once an LGBTQ+ person revealed who she/he is there will be a lot of bad comments about him. Left and right discriminative words, some emoji jokes (usually the eggplants and some sprinkled water), and worse they won't forget the username of that person and they will do it every day like they become a hobby of teasing them.

I don't think this is actually a separate case. Society just cannot embrace them yet although I think there's nothing wrong about it. I mean, I got used to them and I respect them ever since I made friends who are in that circle. For me, knowing them will be the key to how we will understand them more.

This will continue and it would be good for them to not disclose their sexual details in a chat room like that of Stake which is full of people and from what I have seen they are all avid gamblers,meaning at least 99.99% of them are not LGBT persons.The solution to them is to just keep gambling and keep for themselves their sexual preferences as from what we have seen no one in this world can be free from harassment and especially this target group which in most of the world,including the developed world is only accepted in facade and not in reality.

I'm bit confuse if there's really criticism regarding in sexuality on gambling since anyone can able to play there as long as you have money to spend. Maybe that research only happen on one particular country or place but I really believe that's not the case on other since money is one important tool to gain respect. If LGBTQ+ people have a lot of money provably he will het a VIP treatment. But if a boy,girl or any sexuality doesn't have money and they go to casino for sure they experience that since they might not welcome to come on that places.
