Importance of Gambling to the society

[retreat]

It is true as you said that gambling platforms provide real benefits to the people such as taxes which can help cities to develop their regions as well as for health, etc. And as long as it's done right, gambling platforms can also be entertainment for the public to be able to get away from their busy lives for a while and that will improve the quality of life of people.
But of course besides the benefits, gambling can also be a disaster for society if it is not regulated properly. Therefore the government needs to be able to regulate gambling so that this will become a platform that truly benefits the community.

[alastantiger]

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.

What is the benefits of gambling to your society?

If people like, they should demonize gambling it doesn't stop it from being a billion dollar industry and a rapidly growing one too. As the OP pointed out, countries like Italy, the United Kingdom, Australia, Japan, the Philippines, Russia, the Netherlands are making a lot of money in billions from gross gambling wins per year. This is what other countries and counties that have a ban on casinos are missing out and the solution to this is pretty simple. It is, legalize it, regulate it, and tax it.

Everything that has advantages also has downsides, with the exception that everyone's proportion may be different and that taxes benefit the government rather than the general populace because they have used public funds for their own profit.
The government doesn't really have a voice in gambling, especially when it comes to regulating it. If you win at gambling, you won't ask the government to enforce regulations, so whether you win or lose, you have to accept the outcome. Just like you flipping a coin  you can not decide which side you get that how gambling is, Despite this, many people have benefited from gambling.

They benefit from gambling only when they are profitable and as a bookie it will always benefit. The government will not regulate in detail, but the government regulates gambling owners so that they get money from the taxes imposed. The tax will make gambling safer and not interfered with by the government. Winning or losing at gambling is commonplace, but make gambling a place to make continuous profits, there are times when gambling will be very detrimental.

Tax is the thing that will keep them going and not be under the government , it will help them to continue their operation. At some point casinos that pays taxes are really helpful to the community and it makes some of the government projects to become true and executed. But not all govt people give all the taxes for the growth of a country to help the country some of them are corrupt.

What country do you live? I think gambling is typically viewed like this by religious country or family that has a strong religious background just like mine. My country typically view gambling like that but still many people here love to gamble and doesn’t care what’s the opinion of the religion.

The majority of Arab nations are against gambling because their religion forbids it entirely, so they view gambling as illegal activities. Even if gambling has some economic value to the nation perhaps in the form of government revenue because their religion forbids it entirely, they believe the money it will bring in will be bad, so they don't need it and outlaw it.

My religion is also against gambling and I do gamble, since I don’t see anything bad in gambling, I do it for fun, and am not doing anything bad with the amount I make from gambling, and am not doing anything illegal or bad to get money to gamble, my gambling activities those not affect me or my society so I don’t see anything bad in it.

It seems that all religions prohibit actions that have the potential to harm oneself regardless of whether it is financial loss or spiritual and physical health. Gambling is a game where there is a risk of losing money, risking mental health problems and so on, but gambling is an entertaining game if the gambler doesn't do anything wrong. When someone treats gambling in the wrong way, then of course problems will very likely attack them.

Even though it is explained everywhere and gamblers are warned to gamble responsibly, they continue to make mistakes and only harm themselves because of their desire to make money. They no longer gamble for fun, they gamble to multiply money.

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?

Outside tax they pay to government which the government in turn channel those tax money to infrastructural development in the society and I don't think there is any meaningful benefits of gambling to the society after the former is mentioned. We may argue that people win money from gambling and that's a benefit in a way. But how many persons gets a single win in a week in contrast to the number of persons and the amounts they lose in a week put together. The money I may win today is the money I have been losing to the gamble house and there's every tendency I'll still have to lose whatever amount I just won back to the house so long as my gambling habit persists..
So, apart from it been a means of fun and entertainment to it's proponents, and a source of income tax to the government there's no meaningful benefits imo.

[Sandra_hakeem]

I supposed you were gonna list out the importance - much that we can all agree to your own perspective...for me, I don't think that's enough points to ASSUME the above fact in reality...
How is Monaco supposed to have so many casinos as an affiliate in the government toll sector? Are all casinos operated by the governments? Aren't they individuals that own casinos?? How do they enslave others in that endless bond of uncertainty but refuse themselves the privilege to face the same fate??... There are only two ways: it's either the governs are masked by Thier casinos (outta Thier will) to replicate funds for whatever purpose they want or something isn't just going down right.

What is the benefits of gambling to your society?

Aside from those mentioned above like providing employment for physical betting agents and also for those online that are part of the team or help them in one way or the other I don’t really see much positive impact.

Gambling in my society are mostly done for personal gain so things like donating some parts of the money won in betting to some orphanages or physically challenged individuals. Another thing, most people in my society are not that friendly when it comes to gambling they generally do not see it as something that a responsible person should engage in so once they see you in any physical store you’re automatically wayward to them.

Lol. Wayward indeed, that's what most individual that do not gamble see people like me and u that actually do the gamble. The worst part is that they don't know gambling can actually be done just for fun but anyway I feel it's because of the traditional and customs that lead to this strange look on everyone who actually plays gamblem.

So it's not a benefit to the "society", it's a benefit for the government. Even if it was, we'd probably call it an indirect benefit. And in the first place, even if casinos were gone, something would simply replace it that the government can benefit from all the same imo.

And this so-called "big contribution" of yours is really, solely for a group of individuals (if they actually even receive said benefits). The damages it could do to a single person can't really be offset by a small part of that big contribution. And in reality, people are small-minded. They mostly care about how something benefits them directly, not indirectly.

What is the benefits of gambling to your society?

Gambling impact the society in different ways, the good side I have seen apart from the taxes government get to improve their IGR, they help the society to battle special needs. For example, I have seen and not just told that some gambling companies go to foster care to support them witn food supplies and funds to help those children in need, they also support people who are HIV positive and also provide special care for cancer patients, they do all this without any support from the government, and sometimes also collaborate with government to improve waste management in the cities.

I don't have the statistics of the money these gambling companies make in my country but from what I read somewhere back, they make money than the money they loss to players, the government knows that the people lose to them and that's why they make this inclusion of it to the companies deals. I have seen them give flask with the company logo and name on it distributed to the public, they maybe doing people favour but are also doing indirect marketing, they also distribute items during special Muslim Ramadan Kareem period with foods stuffs and beverages but all depends on the company, there are some that don't give a damn about giving back to the society.

It creates jobs, provides money for taxes, which in turn will be used into something for the public. In a way, it provides some sort of ‘benefit’ to the society, due to the fact that it helps the gears of economy turn in small ways. I’d say that gambling isn’t really a crucial part of the economy and society as a whole, but it is ‘nice to have’ as it adds to the taxes and job market. It can disappear tomorrow and people will still be fine, as those displaced in their jobs can easily integrate into other job positions without having to worry too much about training or relearning stuff.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Yeah, gambling through taxes that are being paid to the government by the casinos in my country also helps in the growth of the economy. Also, for land-based casino sites that have external facilities where other fun things are going on, this allows different kinds of people to come around and play other sorts of recreational activities that engage their minds in a more positive way. For example, someone might be passing through some challenges and just want to get a bit away from them. Instead of taking a negative decision, they just go to a casino centre, catch some funds, and relax.

I am not sure what country you are living in, but here in our country, casinos are really one of the top tax payers, which is why the government is really taking care of them by minimizing those illegal casinos and also those small-time gambling activities because they want only the legal ones and want them to pay taxes. One is also giving work to other people, but again, you are right, they can still find another job if it is gone, but still, it is difficult to find jobs right now. In our country, it is really difficult to close all casinos, as the government will be losing tons of money because of it.

[Reatim]

That is the main reason why Gambling has been supported of government , Howq much money had been circling the gambling world?

taxes is just the legal way of gathering Money in this business and we are not mentioning the Under the table amount.

The red tape is the one how gambling is still legal in many countries even how hard problem this has been bringing to the community.

The government wants to get more money out of all the businesses that run in the country so having gambling on the list will increase revenue for the country. And that's why countries support gambling and give licenses to casinos to operate but casinos have to follow the country's rules.

The amount of money the government can obtain is very large from the gambling sector. And that makes the government apply high tax rates to the gambling business because the potential income is also very large.

What is the benefits of gambling to your society?

The benefits of gambling in my country do not exist because gambling here is banned and it is forbidden (our country still upholds religion) actually what you mention here is part of the responsibility of a business or what is often called CSR ("Corporate Social Responsibility") where every business that makes a profit is obliged to provide taxes to the state without exception so that the taxes received can be used for the benefit of the state.

There have been several discourses on the legality of gambling in our country but it was strongly rejected because from the statistics that emerged, the majority of gamblers in our country are poor people who have the potential to make criminals if they want to gamble or lose from gambling.

And we do know on how taxes or how its been applied on a certain country or a certain economy and this is why its never been that always getting banned on some countries just because they are really that focusing

on the benefit rather than into its effect or con's which it is most likely be talking about gambling addiction.Some places might really be that focusing into this issue but some would really be just simply neglect and just give out those casual cautions and warnings that gambling is addictive but still they are supporting. We know that what matter the most for them is about taxes which it is normal since these amounts are really that the ones do help out on countries development since we do know on what taxes are for.

Some would really be that skeptical into its possible effects but we know that these things are personal approach and tolerance about addiction. Gambling is for fun and its our responsibility
on how we would really gonna handle ourselves when it comes to this because you are the ones who would be making out such decision whether you do play that much or not.

As like the crypto trading gambling also was banned in many countries,the gambling is almost banned one in the many countries.Gambling was created by the ancient people to get some excitement on the winning.When their is the victory,their is more possibility of loss in the game.The most important one is gamblers should not get very emotional after the victory or loss.The capacity to handle the emotion after the big loss will show the real potential of being good gamblers.The less experienced gamblers will get depressed after the without think it's just an temporary one.The possibility of big win in future in gambling.
