Is gambling bad to the society?

[Oluwa-btc]

So with all this I think if they put an restrictions on gambling it's not a bad idea at all

Putting restriction on gambling or gambling ban is just nothing more than making people not to have freedom. What the government should look after is for people not to harm others. We are in the world that people are exposed to gambling, they should educate themselves on how to make fun and entertainment from gambling and not turn it to a way of looking for income.

Yeah I agree to this but putting restrictions don't you think it's safer to control how addicted gamblers become repulsive to the environment and society!?
We may be seeing that the restrictions is more or less depriving them of their freedom but it's rather causing more harm to the society  and its causing alot of damage to the society and encouraging the young ones and once the get into it things become worse than it should be. What I think is that every gambler should be controlled to manage their gambling habits, like there should be a specified limits  to gambling so it will definitely minimize the rate at which gambler's lose money or be violent when they don't win.

[Onyeeze]

the gambling that generate economy for the country is a gambling website or platform that operate with license but so many of them who does not operate with license does not pay a tax to a government because they are illegal gambling platform so I believe that some of them that operate in such way does not have any economic boost up to the Country or to the government  of them who operates legally are the one that I have a positive sign to the Country they reside on, I'm not kicking against your theory but I have to express my feeling.

The gambling site which was legal in the some of the countries,in that country alone the gambling site pay the taxes to the government.In rest of the country the gambling site was work by using the vpn to pay and the gambling site will not pay the taxes to that country even they generate income through the gambling site.So this was illegal one in that country,the better way to generate money from the gambling is make this legal by the government and get the taxes legally from the gambling site and finally use the taxes for the people welfare.

we almost in same point, but the thing is that majority of gambling websites I know today some of them don't have license to operate fully and most of them is illegal gambling and that's why they couldn't pay for the things they do, I know very well that some gambling will like to operate legally and that's why they required KYC but these ones that have the mindset of scam will not advice you to have KYC, any gambling platform that's paying charges for a country they are situated I think that particular country they operate but illegal one will not like to pay any tax

Every regulation will certainly always have or be based on a reason, and I am sure that one of the reasons why the government limits its people from getting involved in gambling is not to take away the freedom to choose the things they want but as you said that when the level of exposure to gambling is getting smaller or does not develop then of course more complicated problems can also be avoided.

If only the context of the discussion was not gambling then I think the government would not apply these restrictions, but clearly because gambling is an activity that can be high risk, therefore the government applies restrictions to its people. But apart from all these regulations I think it all comes back to each of us, no one will ever want to experience a downturn in the habits that are their choices, so try to be aware of every decision we make, because other people will not care about whatever we experience.

If a country's economic situation is not strong, gambling is usually not officially sanctioned in those countries. Governments of developing countries or economically weak countries think that if gambling is allowed in their country, then through this gambling, their country's resources will go out, making their economic condition worse. If discussed in the context of religion then gambling is also haram in Bangladesh because Bangladesh is a predominantly Muslim country where 90 plus people are probably Muslims so gambling will not be allowed officially in the country. But where there is law, people will go against the law. Although gambling is prohibited in all these countries, gamblers continue their gambling through various casinos or online betting establishments.

This sounds very much applicable but I don't completely agree with it tho because I'm also of the taught that it's a way of helping even the gamblers getting protected especially when this casinos are regulated by a government body, another is to reduce illegality because of these casinos aren't legalized, the gambler may still find a way around gambling illegally and still get to gamble which may turn out detriment to the society but it will be much better if gambling is regulated and legalized so the society doesn't have to suffer at some point.

Governments consideration about on making up decisions will really be that basing up into its citizens condition on which on the time that they've seen that addiction is really that too high then they might really be that considering it on revoking it out but on the moment that they've seen about that economic benefits then it would really be that something that will really be that they would really be sticking into it.
Actually they would really be rather allowing it rather than on being mindful about those addiction concerns but of course to protect out their citizens then they would really be that still considering out
on setting those prohibitions or guidelines in regarding about gambling industry. It would really be that impossible that they wouldnt really be having those kind of limitations.

Gambling isnt really that bad to society specially that addiction is something that will really be talking or speaking about self decisions and awareness on the things that you've been dealing with.
Its a personal kind of choice on which  you would really be needing up yourself to be wary on what are the things that you should gonna supposed to do.
You are the ones who would really be that making up those decisions whether you would be tolerating yourself on playing up or not.

Taxes are collected only in countries where gambling is legalized but in countries where gambling is not legal how do you explain the positive side of gambling.

For example, my country Bangladesh has not legalized gambling but there are millions of gamblers in my country who are always involved in street theft and robbery.

But I would say whatever the positive side of gambling is, gambling is really a curse in low income countries like my country of Bangladesh.

You are right, I agree with you. Most of our people in Bangladesh are low income people so gambling is really a curse in our country. Yet many low-income people in our country gamble and lose money by gambling. I know a day laborer in my area who lost money by gambling and got into a lot of debt. At one point he used to indulge in bad deeds like stealing ducks, chickens and pigeons from people's houses. Gambling is good for fun, but low income people should not gamble. For those who earn a lot of money, gambling is good for fun. We do not see any positive aspect of gambling in our country. Gambling is bad for society in our country.

These governments are scared. They view gambling like a leaky faucet in a bathtub already running empty. While this is a valid point, they are neglecting one absolutely important factor: human nature. People yearn for adventure, danger, the rush of the hunt.  Banning it merely pushes it beneath ground; it does not make it disappear. Take Bangladesh. It is much more difficult when they have mixed religious ideas. To be really honest, though, it goes beyond faith. Its about folks yearning a modest fantasy, a chance to flip their luck.

We have to start becoming wiser about this. "Healthy gambling" is not nonsense. It involves creating a safe, controlled system that advances everyone. It implies realising that everyone will gamble regardless of circumstances; therefore, let us make it work for us rather than against us

Although basically limiting gambling in society is a good idea but I think it is better for the government to choose one of the two options, namely between banning gambling completely or legalizing it, because I think that there is a possibility for people to eventually expose each other's involvement in gambling to others such as inviting people to get involved in gambling and I believe that it is likely to happen in friendships.

On the other hand, gambling is not too bad, because what is actually bad is the behavior of people involved in gambling who always try to make gambling a place to make money, so that's why we always say and suggest to see everything you find realistically, we must be able to distinguish between what is certain and what is nothing more than just a chance.

in the friendship cycle, of course, for now, it is no longer foreign to gambling, even though it is online gambling. in every friendship cycle, of course, one of them already knows and has often gambled and indirectly, of course, this one can influence the others, in my opinion, this has become a big certainty. but for the government, in my opinion, it will not be able to completely prohibit online gambling, in some cases in my country there are online gamblers or people who spread online gambling platforms who have been arrested but this does not reduce the number of people who gamble online, so I think there is no point in the government prohibiting online gambling, maybe this gambling should just be legalized.
well that's it, I agree with you. indeed gambling itself is not bad, it's just their bad behavior towards gambling where many people abuse gambling such as considering it as a source of income, or when they don't have enough money but have a small amount of money they think of doubling it in gambling, this is a mistake that I think often occurs in people's mindsets.

[EarnOnVictor]

We know that everything has both positive and negative effects, gambling is no exception. Gambling plays some role in the economic development of the society and the country. In particular, the government receives a special economic development tax from gambling. However, when considered individually in the society, gambling is very harmful especially when considering the members of a middle class and lower class family. In order to manage gambling money, he is seen creating various social problems and does not hesitate to commit heinous crimes like theft, robbery and even murder. In my opinion, gambling does more harm than good to people.

the gambling that generate economy for the country is a gambling website or platform that operate with license but so many of them who does not operate with license does not pay a tax to a government because they are illegal gambling platform so I believe that some of them that operate in such way does not have any economic boost up to the Country or to the government  of them who operates legally are the one that I have a positive sign to the Country they reside on, I'm not kicking against your theory but I have to express my feeling.

It's obvious you do not know how the economy operates with what you wrote, whether a casino operates legally or illegally, it will add value to the economy. It's not until you are marked by the government to pay taxes that you add a value to the economy. Casino/gambling can't be operated in isolation or by a few people, they have to employ, and as the customer base increases more employment must take place, is that not adding to the economy?

According to what I learnt, many casino owners are also philanthropists who help in schools, with less-privileges, in natural disaster victims, in politics, in charities for the motherless, in community building, in disease eradication, poverty alleviation and others. Are these not cushioning the suffering of the people and adding value to the economy by enabling the flow of money? It's no different if the government holds the money or the private holds it, the value they share and how the money is well distributed is what matters to the economy.

Nowadays gambling exists everywhere in the world. However, its influence is less in some Islamic countries. If we asked a question how gambling platforms so profitable? Answering this question we can easily know that the number of gamblers has increased a lot. Currently, online gambling platforms have gained so much popularity due to which the industry has been rapidly revolutionized. I don't think any country's government can restrict them in any way. Although many people make negative comments about gambling, there is no proof that he does not gamble. Trusted people in different positions also gamble but they don't want to reveal that information. Gambling cannot have any bad effect on society if gambling is not considered only as a tool for making money.

[Accardo]

Just as there are gamblers in your local area, so are drug addicts and gamblers in my area. Usually they intimidate people on the streets and extort money and use that money to participate in drug and gambling. This has become a common sight in my local area and law enforcement cannot control it. The economic condition of my country is so bad that it is difficult to run a household well and it is even more difficult to manage gambling money. So usually gamblers and drug addicts are mainly involved in various anti-social activities and heinous activities like extortion, robbery and terrorism.

It is a shame that things in your country are like this, but personally seeing how things are, there are many things, games, tools that can be used for good or evil in a society, as you say, extortion and all that, and I think the government should fix it, it is not the responsibility of the common citizen, because governments are the ones who have the strength of their army, police, guards among others to fight them, but the game itself is not the problem.

Who is the government without the people? the society should not, always, place in, all troubles to the government, and not join in fixing it—Harassment is a felony with about a year prison charge in some countries. And it’s not the type of crime that people who are getting hurt would sit back and watch it continue happening. They’ll need to find a way and straighten it out, till the government shows up. So, more people will not get hurt. A close-by local police station can be disturbed to reach the government’s attention on this...

Betting with your friend goes beyond winning or losing. A little "risk is okay" nudge. That push changes everyone's thinking in your organization. It goes beyond peer pressure. Actions and choices shape the group's reality. Of course, the government can't kill online gambling. It goes beyond stubborn gamblers. Policies that neglect the complex social, economic, and psychological causes making this happen

We should educate instead of ban. Encourage critical decision-making. Not a last resort, gambling becomes a choice. To change the relationship. Gambling is fun, not lifesaving. It demands limits and self-awareness like any amusement. Empowering individuals to make better choices creates real change, not rules. All for themselves and crew. There we begin

[Dewi Aries]

Gambling may or may not be bad for society. It is usually your understanding of how the effects of gambling can be later. As far as I understand it is never possible for a real gambler to always underestimate it. Whatever you do if it is good then it will be good for the society and if that action is bad then it will bring something bad for the society. So if you can't come out of it, you can have a huge impact on the society. The reason is that you do not live alone in the society so you will be pressured differently to come out of it.

Yes, it is true, the exposure to the negative impacts of gambling is quite dependent on whether a gambler has a correct understanding that is in accordance with the facts or not regarding the risks that can be caused by the activity, and as you said that if someone knows that it is an activity that can have a negative impact on others then they should not involve people in their habits such as inviting, asking for help, borrowing money or anything that makes other people involved in the habits you have.

On the other hand, I often find some people, especially my friends, who come to me asking me to teach them how to make deposits or withdrawals or in general teach them how to become a gambler and that is a request that I always refuse, none other than because I know that gambling can pose significant risks, although it is possible that some of my friends can become responsible gamblers, but of course it does not mean that they will avoid various negative impacts when changes in mindset and approach occur.

[LUCKMCFLY]

But in countries where gambling is not legal and usually the lower classes participate in gambling, there is a risk of organized criminal activities.

And that's what really happens, it's always like that, because I think that if we start from the fact that when they prohibit something from us, it becomes a challenge, because things are like that and they apply to everything, in the case of prohibited countries, where they don't have the right to play in a casino because their governments have declared it so, it seems absurd to me and it seems like a dictatorship to me, because it's fun, it's like they told you what you Should spend your money on and what you shouldn't, or how you should have fun, that's something that doesn't make sense to me and that's the reason why sometimes these acts of doing casinos become such a thing.

It is true that people are more curious about things that are banned by the government. Assuming that some forbidden things like smoking cigarettes are completely forbidden and harmful to health, people also know that smoking cigarettes damages several vital organs including lungs. Since it is banned people are more curious about cigarettes and most of the people have an attraction towards cigarettes.  Similarly, in countries where gambling is prohibited, gambling becomes a challenge and most people take this challenge as a target.

You are right, when they are addicted to gambling, they will likely become stubborn even when the government has issued a ban on online gambling, but that will not stop them. The cycle of friendship can be carried away when there is something interesting, especially with the side of profit, then most likely everyone will follow along because of course at the age of adulthood, profit is the thing that everyone wants most.
I agree with you, maybe what should be done is to educate, not prohibit. Because usually when someone is prohibited, it will make their curiosity arise greatly and of course they will do it to satisfy their curiosity by ignoring the risks even though they already know that the risks are quite large. Gambling is not wrong because it can bring pleasure when we do it healthily, but when we do it with a little mistake such as expecting profit from gambling, it will make our feelings chaotic with the results that occur inversely to expectations and that triggers addiction.
This is what must be avoided because actually gambling is not completely bad.

If any gambler goes against their will and enters a win they will face a loss, but I have seen most gamblers fall into this situation.  Those who enter excessive winnings and gambling addictions suffer the most losses, and gambling all night when they return home empty-handed immediately starts a family feud.  Gamblers usually have the most poverty in their homes, because the gambler is busy at work and the neighbor of the distressed gambler is busy.  So it is not easy to earn from gambling, that's why the family is always in trouble.

That is why the most important thing for a gambler to consider is to set aside a fixed amount of money and refrain from participating beyond a fixed period of time. You have to develop a habit of living within limits and restrictions so that it doesn't cross the line and become addictive. The all-night gambling is definitely unusual, ruining him financially and causing social and family turmoil. Gambling is not bad but a gambler must play responsibly. If one considers gambling as one of the means of earning money, disaster will follow in every case.

[bakasabo]

Then it turns out that if something is money related, that every person must be responsible, not only in gambling. As it did not take much to spend whole monthly salary on things that a person dont really need that much. With excess spending, everything can be blamed as bad for society. Imo there is nothing bad for society (with some exceptions), as long as person understand what he is doing with his money.

[Mr. Magkaisa]

        -      Many lives have been ruined because of gambling, especially in online casinos, and I have watched many documentary stories of former gambling addicts who ruined their lives. There are others who became addicted and became addicted to gambling who used to be rich and had a had a big salary, but when he got addicted to the online casino, he gradually sold the things, cars, and jewelry that he had left behind.

So maybe this is one of the reasons why the society of every country is becoming bad, but if you are a disciplined gambler but you are not an addict, I don't think you will end up in this situation.
