Ever Thought of Giving Back to the Community?

[Sandra_hakeem]

Have you ever thought of giving back to the community if you ever had a successful gambling run? One of those punters on X, who usually wins large sums of money from betting, is giving out about 25 laptops to folks who cannot afford them, and he recently paid for someone's cybersecurity online course. Do you think this is something that you can do—give back to the community from your gambling runs?

I won't - I'd rather use funds elsewhere to run projects like that..
Yunno why I said so? It'll be very insensible of me to give what can be taken away without my consent to the public, when I still need these funds to wager on more games (assuming I'm an addicted gambler)
It's actually a good thing to be benevolent.. there'll always come a time when you'll need the support of peeps around you too ...

I guess it depends on the amount? I usually don't even participate in community-wide events and the number of people I'm close to or even familiar with can be counted on both hands. I'm not exactly some rich guy after all nor am I that charitable like those lottery winners who donate their entire winnings to charity or something. Heck, I don't even think that I'm that kind to give my family some part of the winnings since as far as I'm concerned, not telling my family about gambling-related wins is in most cases, the best thing to do.

And I live a relatively stable life. Imagine if someone didn't and they won. No matter how big I don't think they'd be able to give out some, at least there and then. Gotta build up that life first properly imo.

I always gave back to the community even on a smallest way of helping them so what more if I won a millions of money, I’ll probably help more people especially those who are indeed on the remote area. Let’s be more humble and share our blessings to others, we are so blessed to live a better life and if you have the capacity to help don’t hesitate to help and don’t wait for any big money to come because we can all make difference even at a simple way.

That’s true, we should show love, respect and care to other people and let this humanity heals.
Being a gambler for quiet some time now, i still not earn that much and I don’t help ang community yet because of it but in some cases, just show your respect and care I’m sure people will appreciate it. Its good to help others people, and having that capacity to help is a big blessings and I’d hope that I can have that capacity too because our community is in need of help and I can see that to the face of the Children. If you think your gambling profit can help others people too, do it.

It would take only a giver to do this. Someone who is not a giver, who has never given or even considered giving when they had less will never consider giving when they have more. For most gamblers, it will difficult to do because they will be thinking that they do not need to give a dime to anyone because they alone managed and bore their losses the other times they gambled. I think the universe siles on people who are nice, kind and have a heart of giving, and becaue this gambler was this thoughtful, I will not be surpeised if he is lucky soon again in gambling whenever he plays games that require luck and not skills.

I think not, I don't maybe depends on the amount of money I have or in what state I'm in. I can share my blessings, of course I'm not selfish, but maybe in another form, like a feeding programme, a scholarship, or anything else that could help the young ones that are not fortunate, but of course it's possible if I can become super rich with the use of gambling. Don't get me wrong, you can still help others, even with the slight help they need, but we are talking about what if you become rich or have a big win to the point that it turns your life into an instat.

If that's the case, then I'm down to share my blessings, but instead of giving things or money, I will give opportunity in what form? Business: I will build a business that could give work and opportunities to a lot of people in need. I'm not a fan of spoon-feeding; I'm more on "you have to work for what you have to earn". Giving is easy if you have the means, but giving opportunities is much greater because they can use that to turn their lives around.

[stadus]

I would do that, but I won't be letting them know where my money was coming from. Although not everyone is willing to share, it really just depends on the personality of a person. As for me, I love to share with people who are in need, and I'm hoping that way I would also be blessed by winning consistently in gambling. If that were to happen to me, then I guess money wouldn't be a problem anymore, as we can become rich in gambling if we keep winning, and we can also continue sharing at the same time. Winning consistently is not for everyone, though, but if it were to really happen to me, I would stand by my promise to help.

if that person can give laptops to other people in large quantities, that means he has won a big prize, anyway, i will also definitely do what he did if i win a jackpot worth more than $30k, or the second scenario i will share 5% of i will give the proceeds from my gambling winnings to my family, relatives and friends and i will give another 5% of my gambling winnings to an orphanage.  My mother keeps saying that people who like to give will always get good fortune and so far that saying has been proven enough in my real life.

[dothebeats]

I'd probably do something similar, though probably more focused on helping people that are on war-torn areas. It's probably the least thing I can do to help, plus it might even be the only chance I can give out my help to people in need as you don't always have that chance anyway. It might also cause a domino effect wherein other people will also donate since they see that you're doing the good deed, so it's a win for you and a win for those in need.

My networth would have to grow pretty high from here for me to even consider that. Also i am not looking for followers and it seems like these kind of stunts are often done to lure in more followers. They are just done in a smaller scale. Like saying that they give nts to random followers (which they in most cases don't).

I totally understand that, because investing into your followers is an effective way to build following. You don't even need clever content for that.  And bigger the gesture is, more followers they get.

I get why they do it too. Followers bring more money, more power and more attention. But i don't get why people want to follow them just because they are rich. Maybe they that some of that gold will rub on them somehow. It's weird.

Well, first I'd focus on giving back to my family, and then my friends who have been there in my ups and downs. Then, that's what probably will be next if there are lot of spare money that can be given. I'll start with neighbors. I mean, they will always be there so it's better to give back to the people who are close to you first and not just to look good to them but to have that bond that neighbors should be a family too so that if you will be the one in trouble, they will also be there to help you out.

I don't think I can do giveaways on social media either. I am too shy to help people and I don't even know how to start, also it's not like I have a page that is looking for followers which is one of the main reasons why they do giveaways. More followers, subscribers, and likes means the social media company itself will pay them something back.
IMO, it's still better if the helping doesn't need a camera to boast it.

There was a time that I felt that I had to donate something to the community but this was after playing a game where I had a very successful run. Though this may be the case, instead of giving back the community, I treated my family members and colleagues instead.

My brother sees the profit from gambling as "dirty money" where it must be spent as soon as possible. All of his winnings are then spent on all obligations that he has to pay in order to prevent himself from going back and spending his profit in gambling again.

At the end of the day, what matters is your intention. Even if you do not give back to the community, no one will judge you but yourself. Donating money does not entirely equate you from being a bad person.

That is very true, before you help other people, help your immediate family first.
And it depends on how much you really have because not many people have over excess of money these days.
Unless you are already rich even before your winnings. But I would say, I will help people who are close to me first.
And those people who you rely on in times of your struggles in life. Because they are the ones worth helping.

Not so much as to set up charity drives, as in my country this is taken negatively in some places (people would think you're either doing too much for someone who doesn't have ulterior motives, or you're doing some form of name clearing before you run for a post in the local elections). So to avoid shit like these in situations when I feel like giving back to the people in one way or another, I just go out there and treat the whole neighborhood to something, if that couldn't be possible due to logistics and time constraints, I instead just give alms to people in the street as I drive somewhere.

There's plenty of choices for you to actually do this kind of stuff if you feel like it, besides donating and giving back to the community in a structured manner. It's all up to you how you'd execute it.

Do you think this is something that you can do—give back to the community from your gambling runs?

With my small bankroll, it'll take forever to hit something big like one of those jackpots, so I doubt i'll be able to give back in one of my future gambling runs. Maybe it's possible if it was back then because I used to play with a bigger bankroll, but now it's mostly to have fun while trying to win a bit of money on the side.

IMO, the money came from gambling is better not sharing with other. As you know, you could be getting addiction and trying to demand your money back has been given to your friend or other.

I guess that's bad money management if the money he's giving away causes him to chase it back through gambling.

I often see those who give a lot to the community or do giveaways not doing it without a purpose and the goal is more to make a profit for themselves, streamers who give giveaways so that more people are interested in watching their broadcasts, and many more, I see them like politicians who give away money free to the people and the people will think of him as a god because he has generosity but who is actually just trying to get voters and when he leads he is corrupt.

I will not share any results from my big gambling wins because not everyone can accept the results from gambling well, but if it is the results from trading or something other than gambling I will share it and have done so when trading made a lot of profit several years ago.

[Hirose UK]

If you really get big win then this is not difficult thing, in fact by giving some valuable things it can also have better positive impact as if they also get it they will definitely never forget us.
I actually interested in efforts to finance online cyber security courses for someone because that way we will have gambling community that is safer and can always help when something bad happens.
This will be mutualistic relationship and is very beneficial for the whole community and with such efforts it will improve the quality in community.

But not everyone will agree and be willing to do it because there are some people who prefer to use their winnings by having fun and doing some useless things.
Many gamblers get big wins but not long after they return in the bad condition of bankruptcy.

This is pretty good idea, although not everyone agrees, there are many benefits that can be gained from implementing it one day when we win big.

Giving back to the community? Did community gave me anything so that I can give back if I earn? No community gave me anything and I am not giving anything back.

If I gamble, it is from my own money. If I lose, community or no one will give me anything, so why giving to the community? I do not have anything to give as they do not have anything to give me.

[ethereumhunter]

Of course, I want to give something to the community or people in my environment so that I can share my victory with them. I think it can make them happy about what they will receive as a gift because it must be useful for them. If the winnings are very large, I will also distribute laptops to school-going children to help with their education and also buy laptops for schools near my neighborhood. I will also donate some money to people who cannot afford it. Maybe that's all I can do that I hope can provide something useful for them.

Sharing is caring but of course it would be depending on what you had donated if its really that something beneficial or not but we do see on here about getting some laptops? thats really a great help specially into those
people who do live on remote places or technology isnt really that something that they could really be easily to get a hold.This is why on the time that a certain gambler do make out some hits then trying to give out something which that could really be that beneficial into those who would be lucky to receive then it is really that giving something of emotions of happiness just because you have helped someone.
They might not be able to ask it out directly but with your initiative then you would really be considering on taking up such step.

Its true that even if we do really want to make that kind of donation but since we are just that typical gamblers who didnt really been that able to win up something big. If ever i would really be lucky
one day then i might be taking the same consideration or step but well its not an assurance yet i would really be prioritizing my needs up first or my wishes first before
anything else. It might be selfish but this is where most people would be doing so. Trust me!lol

It really depends from a person, just like what you've said, the community doesn't give you any so what's the reason of giving it back? But personally even the community doesn't give me anything here, I'll give some in community based on the numbers of winning that I have, If the winning prize is totally huge amount, why not share it to other? Just a piece of my winnings, maybe a raffle or something that may benefit them.
