Charity Gambling

[Onyeeze]

I have not come across charity gambling before this is my first time for me to hear about charity gambling but based on what I read and the some point they figure out for the charity gambling I don't think that yes anything different or new it that look strange or new in gambling, it is quite understanding that gambling is a gambling in respective how you manipulate it or how you understand it it is called a gambling I will really suggest another means if someone want to involve in charity there be a direct freewheel donation to any person that I want to do charity for not as in form of gambling because as it has been tagged gambling charity it is obvious that everyone knows what gambling is all about and the gambling does not have a charity method to operate

People always give in donations to support charity homes, making sure that those who are their experience a little based on what they donate.
 
But nowadays I feel different about that whole charity of a thing—how they have turned it from a non-profiting NGO to now a profiting NGO by the founder, looking for more means to get funds that they can use to sponsor their lifestyle rather than how to improve the life of those the funds are made for.
 
So if there is ever going to be a casino that is built with charity funds and makes the proposal that its profit is charity support, I will object to it, as it's just another means to drag people to using the platform so that the few management can enrich themselves. I will never treat it differently because of the name that it's given.

Have you heard of Charity gambling?

I have participated on this numerous times and the organizers refuse to announce that it's charity gambling but prefer to call it as a charity events and use games that people considered fun and entertaining, They are not promoting it as gambling because although there are winners, they focus more on the cause and this is a limited event; they cannot do it the whole day, only after they generate a significant amount, The most popular game on this are Bingo and roulette[/quote]

What's your thoughts on this? Is it a creative way to raise funds for a good cause? Or will it simply promote gambling?

Gambling should be legal in that country to launch an event like this, and its both a creative way to raise funds and promote gambling. It is be harmless if the game is not very much related to gambling, like poker.

It is also difficult to say that this is a disguised activity to expand the gambling network because this charity can originate from the money that people gamble, the winnings of a lottery game will belong to a few people and the rest can be donated to charity, even the prizes for the winners are just symbolic gifts in terms of spirit. If a charity is designed like that, gambling here is just a fundraising entertainment activity, it is not purely forcing people to become gamblers because the money people spend will contribute to building the community, there is not too much personalization.

If this activity is to be open and transparent, They must disclose which charities the money they raise goes to.

I think if it can be done this gambling game will be appreciated and people will support it. I like it best if the prizes for the winners are just symbolic gifts. This will be the way players will not be caught up in the game of chance, they will not be addicted and will not have the feeling of wanting to win, not want to get back the money they lost. They will be satisfied with any result. And the best thing is when they are full of humanity.

It should be open, and as far as my experience goes here, it is usually the Church that organized this kind of charity gambling. So it's either it goes directly to them, maybe to rebuild it, or they will put up in another nearby church.

It's for fun and charity so I don't consider it the very definition of gambling. The money that will be raised up will be put to good cause, unlike in gambling, wherein the operators or the entity behind as the one that is going to benefit from it. But in charity gambling it's not, it's the people that are poor or in the example that I put up, it's the church itself and the community.

Gambling is a bad deeds if you're a Muslim, if not there's nothing wrong with gambling.

There's a difference between pure donation and donation with gambling, in pure donation, you can't expect you will get a lot money because most people simply don't care with other people's lives. While gambling, many people like doing that, it's why some people ended up being an addict. Hence, this might be the reason why they created this project. There's no donation addict.

I think that gambling and donations have nothing in common, the difference is too great, when you donate you just consciously give money with the hope that this money will help those who need it, and when you gamble you hope to win and losing is a result that we do not want to get. Accordingly, losses in gambling are perceived completely differently than if you donated this money to charity, and the player will try to win back what he lost.

Yes, gambling and donation are the opposite. One side of gambling is to win money when playing. One party voluntarily gives the money they have to the other party.
I think this is a disguised activity, attracting people to gamble online. I do not believe that there are gamblers who want to lose to donate to charity. Everyone wants to win and win a lot of the money they bet. And the creator of this project doesn't necessarily want to donate to charity. Everyone has the goal of making money as 'players and project creators'. No one intends to do charity.

Then you’re poorly educated, and have lived a sheltered life and perhaps are feeling want Eminem would call a https://youtu.be/Xbw_BxDwdjk?si=c-TfpGmb8BwwCKki . I gamble , don’t believe in fairy tale gods, break most rules you’ve been led to believe should govern your life, and yet I do more good for people, animal welfare and our environment than most ever will. Does that make me feel that it justifies my wrongs? (Depends on who’s wrongs they are…but you can take a simple look at my topic history and your religious mumble jumbo self righteousness turns to words typed out to make momey, off, of…you guessed it (maybe) GAMBLING. Will you donate your campaign money to charity? What charity?

If I was lucky enough or smart enough to have had saved more btc, I’d be living out my dream of running an animal sanctuary.

“Gambling is a bad deeds if you're a Muslim, if not there's nothing wrong with gambling”..better study up on your fairy, I mean, religions. SMH

This is entirely not bad,  but it might have bad outcomes in the long-run. This might clearly see people getting addicted in gambling and losing funds while convincing themselves they're on the good cause and promoting self denial of addiction.

 If done moderately, this is very good and as someone that loves charity, I recommend it's good intentions and if there's a scheme to prevent participants from getting addicted or wasting so much money on it, then it's very much good to go from me

That last statement of yours impacted to any changes that can be done, you can do charity works without incorporating things into gambling, you can directly gives your help to the respective recievers so if there's casino or anyone that will offer this type of service I can agree that directly or indirectly they will earn out from this idea, as there are gamblers who will join not just for the benefits of those recieptients but possible to have those gamblers who are aiming for the money.

I know we say intent counts but Gambling is Gambling.
Even if it's for Good cause it doesn't negate the risk of gambling addictions.
Instead of gambling why not directly donate to the charity
This would be better and reduces cost of setting up the gambling platform.

Nope never heard of it, but the name doesn't really change much to me.

Inasmuch as I've not heard about this before "Charity Gambling"using charity should not be used to manipulate the mindset of people aswell.Normally,it's fun to gamble and we all know it's not something that we should promote.It could be a medium to scam and extort money from not just gamblers but people entirely.The road to donate for charity is right before you;irrespective of irrelevant persuasions, don't fall for it.

[davis196]

When I saw the forum thread title I immediately thought about actual gambling games like poker, blackjack, roulette, etc. being used for charity fundraising. I still think that lotteries aren't actual gambling. Yes, I've heard about charity lotteries(or charity bingo) before and I have nothing against them. What I've never heard of is a charity poker tournament or a charity blackjack tournament. This sounds kinda ridiculous. I also don't think that actual hardcore gamblers would agree to participate in charity gambling tournaments. Being greedy is a really important part of being a hardcore gambler.

These days anything could be used as an avenue to scam or defraud people. There is a trend among some people in my country where they claim to be sick with some life-threatening disease and ask people to donate money for their treatment. But they are still genuine activities that are targeted at helping non profit organization and those in need.

Charity gambling is just a mixture of entertainment and donations. It's just an avenue to donate for a course in an entertaining environment. The focus of most people who participate is not really to make profit but to enjoy themselves as they donate. Any organization that mismanages such donations might not get participants in future events. So it will be better that the donations are well maximized.

Yes, that can makes people still playing gambling because they think that they can gives more money to the charity and not for the casino. But the casino can use that money as their profit and they only distribute for some amounts of money.
If the casino does not report the progress of the charity such as where they gives the money and what for the money, people will thinks that is just manipulation to make people keep gambling. That will not good for the casino but people hopes that the casino can distributes the money to the right things.
But yes, some people will thinks that they don't have to gives their money to casino if that is just for the charity because they can directly gives the money to the charity.

Exactly, it might be a good cause if people play with the mindset of having fun, using it as a way to support the charity. Some people don't just like being called upon to support; they like being engaged in an activity where they spend money.

If the community prefers gambling and the games are moderated to prevent addiction, then it's okay. It can be a fun way to bring the community together, with everyone playing games, sharing, and socializing.

If proper rules are set, including age restrictions, budget restrictions, and financial capacity regulations, it can work. Some people are financially buoyant and can give generously, while others may not be as financially stable and can only give a smaller amount.

Like you said, if it can be moderated to prevent addiction and overspending, then it's a good thing. We're giving for a good cause, and we've found a way to make it fun and engaging for the community.

You might call out a charity giving day, but if you don't add something fun or engaging, people might not show up. So, I guess that's why charity gambling events can be effective, as they entice people to participate and donate, which isn't a terrible idea.

I see this with good eyes, after all with a regular donation you only get the feeling of doing the right thing for others that are in need, while with such an event you also get some fun out of the whole experience, and at the same time I would think this will be a more effective way to get funds for those organizations, which will help them to fulfill their mission in a more effective way, so for what I can see everyone wins with a gambling charity.

I thought the same as you when I was reading through the thread, it is not a must that you subject people to gambling before you can earn money for charity work, at the same time, I do not entirely condemn it, only that we should try to do things in a more sane manner. I've seen a similar situation in trading as well where brokers would subject traders to some insane condition of "lot sizes" requirements for some benefits, while the proceeds would be given to some Muslim communities (they claimed). This often happens during the Ramadan period and I wonder how many people would have risked more to meet such a condition but lost their money in that quest. This is not different from gambling for charity's sake, they could have just opted for a direct donation.

I’m actually familiar with this charity gambling, whether it could be good or bad, everything depends on how the purpose is executed. If this kind of activity is properly managed and guided that its proceeds will surely go to the beneficiaries, then I could say that having this charity gambling can also be useful.

But if this is kind of a modus or strategy of the casino to attract high engagement from the players, hence it should not be promoted or supported. Gamblers should still be cautious on where to trust and put their funds.

You know if we look at it literally, in the eyes of most people, gambling is bad and in others it is different, it depends on how we handle gambling. But of course I also agree
that gambling is not advisable for those who are not yet adults or children.

Now, from another angle, the lives of other gamblers may also be ruined because of gambling but in the end if this is charity gambling, at least it still helps poor people who do not have the capability to pay for the hospital, for example only.

Have you heard of Charity gambling?

Charity gambling is a "form of incentivized giving" where a charity (or a group of charities), rather than a municipality or private casino, oversees gambling activities such as bingo, roulette, lottery, and slot machines and uses the proceeds to further its charitable aims.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charity_gambling

What's your thoughts on this? Is it a creative way to raise funds for a good cause? Or will it simply promote gambling?

Others might say that it conflict with charitable values as it linked to gambling-related harm. Have you been in one of this charity gambling in your locals?

One example of this kind of charity gambling is the Dutch Postcode Lottery.



https://www.postcodelotterygroup.com/what-we-do/nationale-postcode-loterij/

I think there will be costs that require the 'charity casino' to fund its operations. And if that funding is taken from the casino profits then the entire concept goes back to being a casino with a charity aspect.

How much of the profits go to charity? And which charities does it go to?

Who will be overseeing that there is no foul play? Will there be audits or something from a third party?

[dansus021]

Have you heard of Charity gambling?

I mean I heard that some people do cashout their winning and give some their profit into charity. But I didnt still get it about the charity gambling in general the wikipedia said "Charity gambling is a "form of incentivized giving" where a charity (or a group of charities), rather than a municipality or private casino, oversees gambling activities such as bingo, roulette, lottery, and slot machines and uses the proceeds to further its charitable aims."

What the meaning of that, Is it the charity uses gambling for the good cause or the charity accept gambling winning. Well both of them for the good cause I mean profit is profit and if you take that for the good thing why not right

[khiholangkang]

For my personal view while that is good intentions and while not using the management of money responsible by the gambler, I don't think it is bad, the problem of people's views in general about gambling is considered bad, I don't think it must The point of view of each, then in any game, whether it's a lottery, poker, even slot if anyone wants to do charity from his victory, I think it is very good and worthy of support.
