Gambling effects on LGBTQ+ People

[FinneysTrueVision]

I don't know how much I trust this study. If you are only collecting data from a small sample size you can make a study say whatever you want. Discrimination by casinos against LGBT people doesn't seem like it's a widespread issue. Casinos don't care about your sexual orientation as long as they can take your money.

Online casinos offer many benefits such as privacy and convenience. They singled out LGBT people but this is probably the preferred option for the general population as well.

It is quite sad to see even people here, in the bitcointalk forum where you are already in the high tech world for people who are usually young and more developed and smart to be able to do crypto trading, end up showing so much hatred towards them, just look at this topic, and see some people who has shown so much hatred towards them and we can easily say online gambling is much better for them but also for us as well because I wouldn't want to be gambling near a person who is filled with this much hate neither, even if that hate wasn't towards me, it's still hate and I rather stay away from that if possible.

At the end of the day, they are just normal people just like any of us and I wish them the best of luck on their gambling.

You can't help it, you will find people like this almost everywhere, even online where there is no physical contact or appearance, so people who can see others and their physical appearance somewhere outside like a land-based casino or something will surely show hatred that they have been raised with, I say that because someone who has been raised with love and care tends to have the same feelings for everyone else, but the opposite happens when you have been raised with hatred.

A person, regardless of their appearance, status, cast, gender, or anything specific, is allowed or should be allowed to gamble as there is basically no discrimination of any kind in gambling whether it's done online or done in a physical or land-based casino, everyone should be allowed to gamble.

The world is not a Barbie world. It's cruel that their dads don't like them being gay. But believe it or not, people vote for gay people and you can see there are gay actors and politicians, they are welcome as much as straights. But if they notice something is not good, take a hint that's the advice to take.

Sure, they can gamble in traditional casinos as much as in online casinos. But just be wary. What else do the LGBTQ want that the world hasn't given when they can marry each other already they can even adopt a kid. Are people suppose to be afraid of them?

But that might happen because discrimination occurs in many countries so when LBGT people come to a physical casino, they get unpleasant treatment from people who also go to the casino or even the casino staff.

So LGBT people feel that if they play at an online casino, they can hide their identity and play gambling in peace and comfort. Everyone who plays gambling wants peace and comfort, so they will look for casinos to provide that. And we feel that too as crypto gamblers who want to find crypto casinos that can provide that.

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. 

No, you don't need to be sad about them but it's only a normal trait of some people. There are people who are shy or insecure about their selves. I think some of these LGBTQ+ are like that. Maybe they advance think that people inside the casino will judge them. Not only inside the casino actually but on almost any place they will go. You know the people, they always like to tease others when they think they are a little different.

But, LGBTQ+ right now have been accepted by the public so the members of those group should not be afraid to hang out in different establishments. Casino has no gender restrictions, just age although playing online has other benefits so maybe this was also the reason on why some of them prefers it.

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

Of course the major support of the online gambling would be from the LGBTQ gamblers especially for people living in countries like mine which has zero tolerance to LGBTQ and the embarrassment and abuse by people would not even allow them to visit local casinos or betting shops, therefore betting online has made it easier for them to enjoy gambling without any discrimination or backlash from people because it doesn't reveal their identity or gender to others

 Currently there are some countries that's accepted the LGBTQ community and given them the right to operate freely including visiting various casinos without being discriminated by others so if you're a member of the LGBTQ community and you happen to be born or find yourself in a country where people don't tolerate your kind to avoid embarrassment or being put abused when you visit casinos it's either you relocate to another country where you have freedom or continue using online casino to gamble at the comfort of your home, to avoid overthinking when gambling In casinos with a poor state of mind which could cause negative effect like wrong choices in predictions or depression.

maybe in certain states that don't approve of LGBT people might continue to discriminate even in a physical casino. because people view LGBT very negatively or for me it's disgusting but if that person enters a casino without knowing whether he is LGBT or not I think everything is fine except if someone who is already known to be LGBT will definitely be treated unpleasantly at the casino.

this online casino or crypto casino is a way out for those who are LGBT to escape discrimination. so it's not surprising that maybe many people of the same sex, not only LGBT+, but maybe lesbians are also in online gambling to keep gambling without discrimination or bad treatment from other people.

This community has been facing discrimination and cruelty for a long time now. It is really hard for children where parents are unsupportive and hate them for being themselves. That I understand but what about the left trying to make this issue look so bad now? The sympathy that they gained earlier has now dried down and their struggle will fade away unless such research papers are stopped. The hate against this community can be seen in the US where two big companies are suffering for their woke advertisement. Those sitting at the top do not understand the problem faced by this community.

What is needed in this case is mutual understanding. LGBT people also want to experience gambling in a physical casino and can play gambling in the casino and experience gambling without anyone knowing if they are LGBT. And it depends on how they behave towards other people because if they are good at hiding it, I don't think other people will know the truth either and the presence of LGBT in the casino is also not a problem for everyone.

And online casinos are indeed a way out for those who are LGBT and also for people who may not feel comfortable visiting casinos to gamble. And they and we should be grateful that we can use online casinos and play gambling at home without going to a physical casino.

It's simply how they cope. Discrimination is true not only in gender but by different means. It could be by race, color, or social status. It is sad that it almost become normal as society tolerates those things. That is why being in an online server could be an advantage for some because you can have the option not to tell more about yourself. Even if it gone through verification or KYC those discrimination lessens because it just happened online.

Participants are not judged and treated differently directly. So no hard feelings for them. Through online you can even use different names or identity in which where most gambling platforms having difficulty with.

Most of centralized casino write in their terms of service where the gambler need to use real name, identity etc and not the fake one. If someone input fake name or fake identity, when the casino ask your KYC, you will have a problem because your personal information is different with your information in the casino's account.

I think there's no discrimination in online casino, they will act fair and don't care about your appearance.

There are people who are making their living collecting this data, which most people won't find it useful or meaningful. But this data may be very useful for the persons belonging to the social welfare and stuff.  Based on the data these people develop some rules and moral values and teach society if they found discriminatory behavior among certain people.

Since no one is LGBTQ here, so we do not care about whatever issues are faced by LGBTQ. Perhaps some can think about these people and society treat them as normal human beings in every aspect of life including gambling.

There is no need to be ashamed of who they are because the main attraction is ourselves. LGBTQ qualities can be inherited or passed down through generations, and we all have the freedom to act whatever we want. What we are is openly displayed to society, and it can either be destructive or good to us. Gambling has no restrictions on these LGBTQ folks; the only restriction is when you gamble under the age of majority or violate their terms and conditions; only then will a gambler be denied access to some vital services. Gambling have no boundaries or set of discrimination, they only strive for their profits.

Agreed, in the study mentioned by @noormcs5 conducted by Dr Reece Bush-Evans and YGAM, they didn't mention the sample from the population as a whole so we don't know whether this research was conducted in groups with large populations or not.

I have read the article and the article states that " 71% of the interviewed LGBTQ+ adults admitted that they had experienced some form of discrimination or harassment in their life " and not in the casino . Where's the percentage of LGBTQ+ who prefer to gamble online rather than going to a casino? nothing, so, we can conclude that people prefer to play at online casinos because of the convenience it offers.

Isn't it obvious that if an LGBTQ+ person faces a lot of problems in society, will he not face the same issues in the physical casino?

There is no way that people start respecting LGBTQ+ people when they are in the casino and as soon as they move out, they start to harass them or bully them.

Yes, gambling gives them the opportunity, they can play online without getting tortured by the public but in life, people have to go out for many other things and there is no one caring for LGBTQ+ people as people think in a negative way about them.

It makes sense, they should have chosen to play virtually over physical casinos, but what I'm talking here is about the results of research on LGBTQ+ who prefer online casinos to physical casinos.

It's ok when we just use our logic, but if it intersects with the conclusions the OP made, I think it makes no sense because there are no conclusions from the data attached to the study.

I just want to add, in this era it doesn't matter who wants to play gambling, be it women, old men, even people who feel left out. Both in land based casinos there are no problems with such things. at least even if you, only a handful of people discriminate, even then they usually won't talk about it verbally to the parties involved.
anyway, referring to my experience, most gamblers who play in land-based casinos, don't care about each other. except, with their own group. if anyone gets attention, usually all eyes are on gamblers who get big wins or jackpots. as for groups who feel left out, such as LGBTQ, they can play freely according to what they want. express himself, in the enjoyment of the entertainment and facilities available.

Now we have crypto casinos, both in the community and outside the community. we can even access it, without having to visit certain places. we have the convenience, facilities, features, even bonuses provided by the casino. those who feel inferior, even claiming to be LGBTQ, can also play at online casinos without being discriminated against. in fact the most important IMO, we must choose a casino that has a reputation that can be trusted as well as their credibility can be accounted for.

[Gyfts]

I don't even wanna read the article. I think it's just one of those unnecessary survey where they will show you their victim mindset. Most of them would say they are "discriminated" because they probably want some special treatment from these physical casinos. It should be enough if they are allowed to enter and play just like other regular customers.

This is exactly the case. Made up oppression.

It's junk research that's capitalizing on the recent trend of "LGBT" made up discrimination/hardship. Usually the narrative if that these people are victimized by a particular social system (governmentally, economically, etc.)

I never actually thought the oppression Olympics would extend out to the gambling industry for these folks. Self reported surveys are junk, and I have my doubt that over 70% of them have faced discrimination as even the slightest offense would qualify as discriminatory to these people, or a "trigger" as they call it

When you look different and act different, you do not expect people to treat you any different. It is only normal that people would treat you differently. The reason , at least of the reasons why online casinos exist is to prevent or reduce harassment. I know that we have cyberbullies everywhere but using online casino is still the safest option for LGBTQ if they cannot stand the harassments.

Furthermore, the bodies in charge of land casinos should look into cases of harassment of LGBTQ people, help them get justice and pass a law that any casino where such harassment happens and they do not do anything about it, they will be shut down. This would make them serious in prevent such incident from happening.

So, if we restrict LGBTQ people to online casinos, will it solve their problems? Yes, they won't be facing harassment and all these stuff which they would have faced if they were present in the physical casino, but is it enough?

LGBTQ people have to go out in society, visit markets, shops, hospitals, schools etc and not everything can be made virtual for them.
The society needs to change their perspective toward them and treat them with respect. That is the only way they would feel comfortable in our society.
