Is Casino Community Service Possible?

[Zlantann]

I have been wondering if ever any casino have engaged in a community service before or planning to do so. So far, I understand that casinos pay taxes and these tax are used by the government for running the state affairs but I was curious to know if it is possible because I have never seen it or heard about any casino doing such before or if any have started doing it. You can make it known here for us to see.

The gambling industry is a major source of revenue for some nations. Some countries in Caribbean Island and others see gambling as a core part of their economy. Casino engage in social corporate responsibility by sponsoring sports competitions. The local league of my country is sponsored by a gambling firm. They also fund sporting award programs to encourage sporting activities.

If this step is taken to render community service by casinos, it would make a difference and that casino would forever be recorded in the book of history to have done such or joined the list of the few casinos to have done such if any have really done that before.

The government cannot produce all that the citizens need so they need all the help they can get from individuals and cooperate organization. So it will be a welcome development for casino firms to assist in providing basic amenities to the people, as well as promoting entertainment in the country. Casinos that engage in these selfless activities will also attract more customers and make them reputable in society.

crypto casinos are doing a lot of community service, they are helping sports by sponsoring football leagues and other sports. In my country, for example, many casinos and betting houses in my country have made donations of money, food and clothes to areas in my country where there are many very poor people, also online casinos in my country have sponsored the football league, Unfortunately, I won't be able to speak here about the name of the crypto casino that has also sponsored my country's football league because it is a casino known for being a big scam. but looking at other countries and what crypto casinos are doing in them in terms of community services is visible

for example in the case of stake.com, they are helping a lot in sport by sponsoring everton

"I am pleased to say that we have already been working together with Stake.com on some exciting activities and content for our local and international supporters and we look forward to sharing more detail on these plans soon."

they also sponsor the UFC and F1

https://stake.com/sponsorships/stake-f1-team

they also sponsor people and more things, this shows that they are helping the sport. A few years ago it was difficult to see things like this, but today we are seeing it and I believe that in more years we will be seeing crypto casinos having foundations to help poor people in many countries where poverty is high.

Somehow that's true, especially here in our country, the famous land based casinos are not really charitable but not sure because maybe later there are people who support and help them but they don't just broadcast it on the news or any media sites, but when it comes to their employees, they are gallant and even offer scholarship programs for employees, can we consider that as part of their charity works?

Casinos are not created for charity, they are created for gambling. Casinos are also not create for community service but they are created for gambling. The casinos employed workers just as you said and they abide to laws and order and pay tax. What else again? If casinos are doing charity or community service, they are just doing that to help the public and not their work. There are many businesses in life and they focus on their aims and objectives.

That’s correct, this is not their business but some laws they are mandated to do a corporate social responsibility where every businesses does. If that casinos really care about their community, they will do an outreach program without being forced. In fairness to our local casinos as they are active in terms of their corporate social responsibility, you can tell by this that they are not just after the money, but also here to help people in need.

The majority believe it's all about the games, the glitz, and "What happens in Vegas..." Well, there's more to it than that, man. Some companies get it. Along with taking your money, they want to help the neighborhood. Trying to make a difference, casinos give money to schools and invest in green energy. The sight is encouraging and a great example of what can happen when companies step up. However, and this is a big however, we need to be honest. Occasionally, these projects are only meant to look good, as a publicity stunt for the casino. In some cases, it's not really about caring about the neighborhood

Really this is nice to know that gambling sites are involved in such community service like giving money to school and investing in green energy which is what the global energy schale is aiming towards with renewable energy taking the lead in industrial and production aspects of the society, so if gambling site can duversify into such aspects of the society it means alot to their existence and approvals in some regions seeing such positive products coming from gambling platforms.

Aside from that, we have seen a lot of casinos giving donations during pandemic era. I believe a lot of casinos in those challenging times showed their support to their communities. We may not always hear them to participate in charitable activities but I think, some of them are continuously supporting some of these charity organizations.

Tribal Casinos Supporting Communities


PAGCOR’s donation for COVID-19 response reaches P2.5 billion

PAGCOR, I believe, is not only helping people during pandemic but they are continuously supporting those people who are in need of medical expenses especially those poor ones who can't afford to buy medicines or pay their hospital bills.

[nimogsm]

In my country, bookmakers and casinos often act as sponsors of sporting events and other charitable events. Also, paying taxes to local budgets also benefits the development of cities and the economy, which is already a good advantage.How often and honestly do they pay taxes? That's a completely different question.But the fact that gambling is part of sports and various events is already a fact.

[Nwada001]

The only type of service that I have seen some casino or gambling companies in general get involved in is a sponsorship programmeme for an ongoing development or event that's been set up by some big and reputable personnel, which they could see as an opportunity to promote themselves by offering to sponsor the programmeme, and in return they will be announced and advertised there, but when it comes to development like Good Road and the rest of them here in my country, I barely see that.

Ironically, they want to make money more than lose it, and the attention may not be in the way we talk about here. Supporting the community is probably just a small trick in their product marketing plan, perhaps the most common form is that they directly spend on advertising services that are present in their lives depending on the scale campaign model.

But I'm still curious about the difference in what they get in that behavior, because as I understand it, their goal is to make more money, not social spheres.

[Cryptoprincess101]

but when it comes to development like Good Road and the rest of them here in my country, I barely see that.

Road construction requires a huge amount of money to fund such projects so I don't think any casino company can be so generous to the extent of constructing a road all in the name of rendering community services to the people, they can do some minor projects that will not consume a lot of money to Road construction, even in building construction they may not be able to render such services all they can only do is skills acquisition, buying educational and learning materials to students within the area so these are some petty programmes they can offer instead of major projects.

If there are no casinos in your community, it is for two reasons, they are prohibited, or the tax payments are not friendly, it is that simple. So, the question is, why governments are not "friends" with casinos, well, it depends on many factors.

But the reality is that you have to ask the person in charge of your community, or in that order, mayor, governors, etc. That is the approach, and to be honest, community service is the responsibility of any individual or company, it is not something that has to be asked for.

I think it is a topic that can be discussed, but perhaps it is more about society and politics, those places or boards.  

[Yatsan]

Well, there are casino social groups who already did this bit that's by their initiative and no one requires them, actually all of us. Will community service benefit casinos? Nope. Casinos won't have a good image just because they are helping the community. As others have mentioned gambling activities already have higher taxation than with others especially those which are registered on the government. Community service is a good act but that won't be enough for an activity which is believed to be destroying many people's life, be remembered and this is why this is driven only be initiative.

The only type of service that I have seen some casino or gambling companies in general get involved in is a sponsorship programmeme for an ongoing development or event that's been set up by some big and reputable personnel, which they could see as an opportunity to promote themselves by offering to sponsor the programmeme, and in return they will be announced and advertised there, but when it comes to development like Good Road and the rest of them here in my country, I barely see that.

Good example actually, this is really what they are more into because casinos will also gain popularity thru sponsorship but other than that, even if they vountarily do a community service, that won't be making things better for its reputation.

If you think this is not a new thing or there are casinos doing this, you could please drop the link here or material or facts for us to see for ourselves and applaud the casino for that singular act of theirs.

This depends mostly on the owner mindset and most owners of reputable casinos do not care much for community service from what I have seen up until now.They only like to fatten their pockets and fortune and as long as they achieve it they are OK with such achievement.I know that if these types of such casinos get to bring something else beside taxes to the government to the community as they surely can afford to do it,would be great for that community.

Those reputable Casinos have a lot of money so they can afford taxes even if the government increase their taxes. And I don't know if some casino will take this kind of doing that they will do such community services cause we are all know that  they can't benefit from it they can't earned a lot of money perhaps they will loss money to this kind of projects and for sure casino will not do such thing. Which is most of a casino don't have time to do this cause what they are actually do is to monitor their casino and collect all the money that they earned from gambling.

[passwordnow]

Yeah, I think that many of the casinos are giving back to the community. We don't just follow most of them because it doesn't make sense for us to follow each step that they make. So, whether they give back or not, it's not actually a thing for them to be done because they're a business. But I believe that I've seen before that there are some that does it actually so, I won't be surprised if many of them nowadays have like a yearly giving back and charity to their chosen organization or foundation.

That's the kind of service that they do and not just they're allocating huge taxes to the states or countries where they are located. So, it's a big thing of what they do to the community but on the otherhand, there goes the other people saying that those money that they spend for any affairs that they do are also affecting people that became addicted and have lost their money through gambling with them. But that's the issue of the gambler's and not with the casinos as they're a business.

Casinos fund many sports by providing income for the leagues and the players. Often they'll be sponsors for association teams, individual players and even perhaps entire leagues for soccer. Also many eSports tournaments are entirely funded by online casino sponsorships.

I'd say it's not something I'd wish for that casinos need to donate to charity though. We should be taking care of people in need as a society and filling the gaps with the means of the state, not expecting from casinos. Because this means they'd need to be big to a level that's unreasonable. I'd say the social responsibility for a casino in terms of our expectations should be for them to do their job fairly, run provably fair games and offer reasonable exclusion options to those that need it. Maybe their social contribution expectation would be getting taxed a bit more to fund gambling addiction programs.

[danherbias07]

Community Service. I know physical casinos are already doing this as well as those gambling games that are under the control of the government. In our case, it's the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO). They are offering financial help to the people with the use of the profits from the lottery and sweepstakes.

Although, I have not heard yet about an online gambling site that is doing this. I think that is what you are pointing out. Well, we are still in the early stage of the growth of online gambling sites. Perhaps, in the future, we will see them doing this kind of charity for the people, especially in what country they base it. Still, the taxes that they pay should be enough for now and in case they thought about making a community service too, then its a bonus.

[irhact]

Just like any other organizations that pays taxes it doesn't stop them from rendering community service to the people because everyone have marketing strategies so they can get involved in community services to give an impression that they are giving back to the society especially for a new casino though sincerely speaking I haven't witnessed any local casinos in my geographic location involved in such free will charity to the people but I have heard of it in other places.

In the forum here, for me the best services casino companies are giving to the forum members is regular and prompt payments to members representing their respective campaigns, almost all the campaigns that advertise their signatures and avatar on this forum makes sure that campaign participants are paid accordingly and some of which offers bonuses for their participants more especially those that makes more quality posts so regardless of the fact that we are marketing this casino companies by wearing their signature and avatars the payments we receive from them is also a way of them showing appreciation to us so community services is done in so many ways, it must not be physical before we can identify it.

Well it would be lovely to know or see that casinos render community services  to gamblers that would be a very good marker strategy asides the social media platforms which most casinos used in marketing their business currently, Well any casinos that does that would attract a lot of audience and would generate more money to themselves cause more customers means more money since they have more winning edge than bettors.

 I must commend those casinos that's created a job opportunity to lots of members here who participate in the gambling campaigns here they're doing a great job, like you said, helping people to create quality gambling posts here in the forum well outside the forum it would be lovely to see them host shows in streets and give out gift items to individuals. Well I really appreciate the effort they make here in the forum they're doing great.

There is this saying that "there is nothing new under the sun," which makes me believe that many casinos would be doing community services or similar things to that. They could be sponsoring some people's educations, have foundations, donate to welfare and many more. The issue is that this is more local than international for everyone to know, and the fact that many are now turning to online casinos that are not operating in their home countries will never let them know what is happening in the local countries of the casinos. Also, some owners of casinos will be philanthropists, and of course, that will always be channelled to something beneficial/productive, and many will even have their own foundations and support groups, political affiliation for donations, and fund support groups for the benefit of the society.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to provide you with any links now, but I said all that because I know of some local casinos in my country doing all that. Will many know about it if they (the casinos and them) are not in the same country? And the fact that some casinos are not even operating globally (have their presence in all countries of the world) will never allow some people who are using their services online to know what they are doing in their closets.

Our casino industry plays a major part in not only building our economy but also contributing to fill the coffer of our government It is meant to help the poor sector of our economy

PAGCOR is a 100% government-owned and controlled corporation under the Office of the President. It is mandated to generate revenues for the government’s socio-civic programs, to operate and regulate games of chance in the country, and to help boost the tourism industry.

PAGCOR has consistently ranked as one of the Philippine government’s top revenue earners and a dependable partner in nation-building. Billions of the agency’s earnings go to high impact projects that benefit thousands of Filipinos.

In 2016, the agency generated P55.06 billion (approximately US$ 1.09 billion) in total revenues, surpassing the agency’s 2015 revenues by 16.62%. Of PAGCOR’s total earnings, P36.47 billion (approximately US$ 723 million) went to state coffers as part of PAGCOR’s contributions to nation-building.

Organization Description of Pagcor

Gambling is very much legal in our country even though we are the only Christian country in the Southeast, but even if gambling is legal in our country, we have a strong restriction on allowing youth to play in casinos, and our casinos are targeting the rich sector of our society; hence the country is profiting from the casino operation, but it is not putting bad effects in the society.

I believe they getting involved in such sponsorship would be very much important for them so they will have to play a role to suit their purpose so that they get announced as you have said. I think it is another strategy by the casino to gain publicity to market their products.  By doing this, they get popular within that region and also traffic to their casino would be a guarantee since they have been announced as the official sponsors of the function that held within the environment they are making them look good in the eyes of the gamblers within that region.

Those reputable Casinos have a lot of money so they can afford taxes even if the government increase their taxes. And I don't know if some casino will take this kind of doing that they will do such community services cause we are all know that  they can't benefit from it they can't earned a lot of money perhaps they will loss money to this kind of projects and for sure casino will not do such thing. Which is most of a casino don't have time to do this cause what they are actually do is to monitor their casino and collect all the money that they earned from gambling.

Even if they can't do a community service themselves but as long as they are already paying a good amount of tax, I guess that's still fine? Because, maybe some of these taxes will also go in the community.

I think no casino is forced to do it but they can only do it if they have extra. We can say that it's a kind of expense and they can use the money for something else which they can benefit more but there are people that they can feel good once they help someone else. It still can give them a good publicity and maybe many people will now support them after it. Casino can run automatically and they can hire staffs, so activities like this is possible if they want it to happen.

I think there are casinos that launch an anti-addiction campaign, these are just for them to analyze everything related to fighting addictions with different rabbits, going to clinics, holding conferences on addictions in communities, states and well, this can be taken as an action of these, although casinos are not obliged to do so, when there is a problem worldwide they make donations, with respect to wars there are casinos that make donations to the most affected populations, I think this falls into the community work of a casino, of course that not everyone does it, but there are some that do, so I think that falls within that range of aspects of community work.
