Importance of Gambling to the society

For the community, gambling is not important, as you said, many people have a bad attitude towards gambling, which means that some people should avoid it. But many of them are playing it.

And I think this topic needs to be changed, not "the importance of gambling for society" it's better if the topic is replaced with "the importance of legalizing gambling" why is that, let me explain this a little.

If gambling is still illegal in a country, then no matter how many people play in it, it will not benefit the community at all, especially for the development of community infrastructure and facilities, because the money will only go to the site owner and the officials or government who back up gambling. illegal. So this is where the need for the legalization of gambling in various countries so that gambling activities can be controlled and provide benefits from the taxes generated.

Other than taxes, it has not much of a benefit for a country or government. But for players it brings opportunity and entertainment. The only thing which makes it a bad thing has something to do with the opportunity that it gives to gamblers. Indeed it is a way to get rich in an instant but never expect things to be easy. Keep in mind that there are way more people losing than few who have won. Some people have died playing but did not manage to get a big win. This is the unfortunate fortune in gambling thus  we should embrace the reality and take precautions for ourselves.

What is the benefits of gambling to your society?

Taxes for the government to sustain the economy's needs and entertainment for people who want to seek the thrill and the risk of betting on gambling, gambling is not for everybody but there are some sectors of society where there only means of getting entertainment is through gambling so the government legalizes gambling because the taxes these casinos are giving is good and they create jobs and create establishments around these casinos.

In addition, if the government can legalize gambling or casinos, the public will benefit from gambling because it can create jobs. Because casinos require a large workforce to operate, such as dealers, managers, security, support staff, cashiers, cleaners and so on. And this can lead to increased employment in the area, which can have a positive impact on the local economy.
and it will also be used as a place of business for the community around gambling to set up a place of business with various kinds of sales and so on, and if the community can benefit from gambling or casinos if it is legalized that is true. However, this must be managed properly and must prioritize the surrounding community, not benefit the outside community because it can become a problem.

Job opporunity is indeed a benefit, I agree, given that gambling is also an industry where employees could work for and earn money to sustain their daily living.

Do you auto translate my statement?

And I think this topic needs to be changed, not "the importance of gambling for society" it's better if the topic is replaced with "the importance of legalizing gambling" why is that, let me explain this a little.

You are making the topic confusing for changing that title. If you read carefully the content, the benefits we are talking here to the society is the financial support it gives to the government that being distribute to the society through different form like infra, health and more.

I believe most casino is legal or else the government can’t get tax on it. Can you read again the OP before you make such comment. There’s no problem about legalization of casino.

There are countries made gambling illegal but allow casinos to be established. It's their citizen that is not allowed to gamble but the tourist are free to stake.

Society always draws to games. Back when people are starting to develop a city, it starts in a small place that drives people to stay in this place because it has a coal mine for them to work and make money. It also has a whorehouse with a place drink and gamble.

[passwordnow]

IIRC, aside from Monaco there are also other countries that have allowed gambling only if it's for tourists and foreigners but they don't allow their citizens to gamble because they know that it will be bad for them. Can't deny the fact that a country that's benefiting from taxation through the gambling industry is really a lot and it helps to finance a lot of projects, infrastructures, and other help to their citizens. I think many will have a big argument on this one because they'll defend that it's still gambling at the end of the day. There will always be losers and winners.

[Gozie51]

I'm also agreeing with the op that gambling has helped and still helping the youths in the society. In my locality gambling has reduced crimes very well. Because government can provide jobs for the youth to engaged themselves in offices and other governmental works so those who can play bet use the opportunity to busy themselves in the casino halls and forget crime in the process and there sometimes they win and loss and argue among themselves in all days. If there is no gambling in the society, crime would have been legalized in the society by those guys just because of the way crime would have been that is why I am saying this. As it is said, both the government and the youths are benefiting from gambling.

Opportunity to gamble will not be seen as the reason that crime will reduce. Employment is what I know that is advocated to push down the rate of crime and not gambling. In fact most times gambling environment is where bad boys meet to plan next move. Crime rate is increasing generally because government has not provided enabling environment for self employment and employment opportunities. Those who gamble may not gamble if they had alternative.

Gambling will not reduce even though there is employment for the youth, it might even increase the amount to stake but crime itself will slidely reduce. Government is the cause of crime and government loves crime. Why government is the cause of crime? Those who went to school and thinking that after schooling they secure good jobs to start life just like their white counterparts but irony slapped them in their thoughts on their faces they became street boys and girls struggling to survive. Enter places that ordinarily they would not enter, gambling to survive. And why government love crime? Government picks bad boys to become bodyguards from gambling places and sometimes use them in election dumped them after the election. And they would go back again so crime becomes a perpetual problem in the society. Government is not ready to eliminate crime in the society because they part of the crimes.

I agree that government created crime for the reason of not providing enabling environment for job creation  I also agree to your point that government love crime and they will not take it out. The point therefore is whether jobs are created or not, gamblers will still be there, gambling places is mostly hideout for gamblers and government will always look for the bad boys for their nefarious activities. That buttress my earlier point that availability of jobs is not the solution to crime rate. There are guns everywhere, social ills and illegality is on the increase.

Pretty bad move to justify the existence of gambling with taxes. Nobody likes taxes 
It seems to me that the benefits of gambling are entertainment - since people are ready to spend a lot of money on this (I mean the total turnover of money in the industry), then they are satisfied with the resulting product. When consumers are satisfied, this is the benefit.

That’s how the government brainwashed the society with their taxes. 
Well, somehow its true especially in my country where we fully depend on collection of taxes. The other benefit is gambling can be a stress reliever especially if you are seeking for entertainment only and losing money is ok for you. Pros and cons are always there, you just have to look for a more good reason why you gamble.

If it's not a secret, what country are you from? For example, in my country, paying taxes is the most stupid thing to do (because the government robs us all our lives), but recently it has also been very immoral - in a sense, it can be equated with sponsoring a war (I'm from Russia). Thank God internet access is not completely disabled yet and I have many options thanks to cryptocurrencies.

Gambling is important to the society because it provides huge taxes that government use on hospitals, infrastructure and other projects to help its citizens. ...
What is the benefits of gambling to your society?

Gambling is not important to society, it's just vice like any other vice. It's good for some people who can control it, and maybe even make some profit here and there, but for some people, it's the worst nightmare. When vices are taxed (drugs, prostitution, gambling...) there is some control and everything is taxed, if not there is a black market... as long as there is demand there will be supply, simply said.

We gamble for ourselves because we enjoy it and we wish to win big. It's selfish in some way, the money we spend on gambling can be used for much better things, but... we will share when we win big! Right? So there are no benefits of gambling to society, there's just you and your bankroll... if you win good for you and your closest ones, if not you and your closest ones are in trouble and the house is in profit. So don't go too deep... any vice can eat you if you are not careful.

That is all I can notice that has an effect on the positive side, and I agree that gambling casinos are one of the biggest tax payers in a country, and a lot of people benefit from them. Only entertainment can be positive and affect us. No matter how we think, it has a negative effect on people no matter what, but still, we can't ban it as it helps the country as a whole.

State taxes generated from the gambling industry are usually used for the development of a country's infrastructure and also provide assistance to those who are less fortunate, but on the other hand gambling also has a negative impact on people who cannot be responsible and take wrong actions because most people making gambling to make a profit not for entertainment.
But it is true that the gambling industry has both positive and negative sides depending on each individual who takes advantage of it.
I myself have had many good and bad experiences while in the gambling industry and that way I can take what is right and wrong when I am in the gambling industry.

While state taxes from gambling can contribute to infrastructure development and aid for those in need, I would argue that the positive impact doesn't necessarily outweigh the potential negative consequences.

Gambling addiction and its associated problems are genuine concerns that can't be overlooked. Even though some individuals might approach gambling responsibly, there's no denying that a significant portion might fall into the trap of chasing profits, leading to financial and emotional distress. I think proper education with regard to addictions and many forms of it would be a great deal of help.

[famososMuertos]

Commoners? Lol

I do not understand these points of view, where do you have to justify the other environments.

 Why do bars exist, why do video games exist, etc.  We are full of activities that may or may not be useless, it doesn't matter, some would be okay with others not.

The freedom that they exist is in a certain way the contribution, anyone should decide if she can use them or not, therefore it is a type of entertainment that some can enjoy.

Consequently in the payments of fees to the government, jobs, blah, blah is the same as with any other type of company or business.

Sometimes i think that gambling is not important to society but it is the society that can't live without gambling. There are people who can't sleep well if they do not gamble on the day but this does not mean that gambling has become important.

Society needs to define what is good or bad for them or at least try to understand the bad aspects of gambling and avoid them. If you are a responsible gambler then you do no harm to yourself, and to the society but if you're an addicted gambler, then you will soon become a burden on the society.

Concentration on gambling, it can either results in positive or negative outcome. Gambling is very important in the lives of others, specifically for gambling addicts, they tend to keep placing wagers on games because there's always hope of earning massively from the system. We knows what would benefits and drained us, we just do what we think is right. You're absolutely right on that track, many people wouldn't cope well if they don't have the chance to gamble. Remember,  gambling have put food on so many individuals tables, and have also been the major cause of most gamblers downfall and hardships.

Taxes. I guess that's the big part of it.
Recently, a cockpit was built near my residence and I was asking myself why would they build a gambling place first more than a school for the education of the children.
Now, I actually understand it. We are not yet a big city and we are actually in a developing phase so the local government would need funds first to pay for the other facilities that will be built near our residents.
At first, I was actually mad about what they did because I thought this will be bad for the people near it, but when I saw lots of rich people parking their cars near the cockpit, that added to my understanding of how much they will make after building it.
My expectation is after a year, the local government will start projects for the benefit of the people around it.

Taxes and the cockpit issue are both valid points that you make. After all, its all about the government, money, and stuff. So the cockpit beside your home is basically a way to raise money for necessities for cities like schools. Not that schools arent essential, but priorities must be set in order, and as you well know, money doesn't grow on trees.

You were upset, and its quite understandable given that gambling and cockpits arent typically associated with positive communal activities. However, the vehicles of the wealthy convey a narrative. And perhaps greater things will come to your area in a year, like parks or schools or something similar. Its kind of like, "Wait and see" and "Hope for the Best," you know?

That's true and that's my expectations for the next few years. I just hope the next governing person will do the same if ever the people will vote for a new one. But I do believe he is doing great. Now there are street lights all over our place and they are also putting a lot of cameras in case of accidents or emergencies.
I have also seen some projects like road widening and fixing some areas where the roads are already wrecked.
I think most of the funds that were used there were from the cockpit that was built near us. So yes, I may be upset at first but when you understand it and see progress then I don't think there's anything to worry about.

I have also seen many stores opening near the cockpit so I guess that's another profit coming from the city funds from store permits, space rents, and taxes too. We cannot really just judge the start while not witnessing the end yet.

Gambling has its own benefits for the state as well as for society, because gambling activities provide extraordinary tax contributions, which can support the financing of infrastructure development and the construction of public facilities for the community.

However, gambling can also be a conflict in various regions and some of them strongly oppose gambling activities. And they forbid money contribution/income from gambling activities. The negative stigma related to gambling is still strong in some areas and they turn a blind eye to the benefits of gambling for the development of a country or region, this cannot be separated from religious and cultural teachings which forbid gambling but nevertheless it is their right which cannot be contested. and of course they also refuse not without reason behind it.

[GreatArkansas]

Gambling is important to the society because it provides huge taxes that government use on hospitals, infrastructure and other projects to help its citizens. Monacco country is popular with their casino but they don't allow its citizen to play. This shows how important gambling in their country because they still allowed to operate it even though they don't want citizens to be involved.

This is the best example of "economic benefits"  which majorly help the government and its country.
For me psychological and social also because gambling is not always negative. There are lot of social effects because there are some people who met while gambling and build strong relationships like friendship and other connections.

There are direct taxes imposed on lottery based winnings which contributes big to the revenue streams for the government as many people want to try their luck.So they earn from the tickets as well and then additional taxes on the winners while there is employment opportunity for agents and workers in this field so as a whole it has impact on society if we see it in a positive manner.

What is the benefits of gambling to your society?

Taxes from the gambling industry are indeed very large and in my country, it was used as income from one of the provisions to fund development, but that was done a long time ago unfortunately, because of religion and many protests this must be stopped and gambling has become an activity that is quite prohibited here, although many citizens can still gamble either online or also in secret.
However, taxes from the gambling industry can really provide a large income for a country, especially when talking about offline casinos where it will have something to do with the tourism industry where many tourists come not only for vacation but also to gamble like what happened in Macau and several gambling places which is very well known in the world because gambling lovers can channel their desire to gamble while on vacation, and that provides extra income for the country.

Main benefit of having gambling companies operating in your country is for sports I think. They can sponsor many different clubs, they can help team sign bigger names making league lot more competitive. I would also agree that they pay a lot of taxes that indirectly help community. I think gambling companies also promote business life by hiring many people with good wages so helping employment as well.

[ethereumhunter]

That disadvantage is caused due to the poor people's fault, not the casino.

The advantage of casino is make the government can make more money from the rich because the rich can afford to lose bigger amount than the middle or poor people. The money that lose by the rich is used to give donation for the poor to reduce poverty.

I don't think gambling is beneficial for the community because they play gambling using their money to make money. And that obviously makes them lose because they lose their money in gambling but that doesn't make them stop gambling and that's not the casino's fault.

Casinos can provide large taxes to the state as income and from that income the government can run its government and channel the money they get to provide facilities to people who are less fortunate. But in terms of benefits, maybe only people who manage to win a lot of money can get the benefits because they can use the money to change their lives.

This board has a lot of topic that comprises with the negativity about gambling addiction. Let’s change it for now to support the casino we are promoting here.

Gambling is important to the society because it provides huge taxes that government use on hospitals, infrastructure and other projects to help its citizens. Monacco country is popular with their casino but they don't allow its citizen to play. This shows how important gambling in their country because they still allowed to operate it even though they don't want citizens to be involved.

In our country, Our lottery use the proceeds to donate on the health center that provides free health service to our citizens.

Even if gambling commonly view as negative by commoner. Many didn't notice how big is the contribution of gambling to the society.

What is the benefits of gambling to your society?

Although many negative effects of gambling exist in society, only the positive effects of gambling are discussed for this topic.
In countries where gambling is officially permitted, the government of the country receives a large amount of tax from gambling which can be used for the overall welfare of the country.
Moreover, the amount of fees that casinos and gambling sides receive when withdrawing huge amounts of funds from gambling gives a certain population a salary like a permanent job that benefits a certain portion of unemployment.
Gambling sites arrange a huge amount of humanitarian aid campaigns every year, taking an important step in combating problems like floods, disasters, epidemics, and poverty.
