Gambling is an investment.

[BitBakerr1]

Gambling is actually an investment, those that have gambling companies has a very good investment and you can partake in that by also buying shares especially when the company is coming up because it will be sold in cheaper price.
It surprise me that I have not seen a Casino coming to this forum after building reputation in this forum to sell shares. Is it that it's very easy to run it? Well that's not it, gambling companies are not easy to run I feel people are usually not interested in buying shares in gambling companies because of fear of it not making it or because some casinos are not a standard company that someone can access physically and again a lot of gambling company are not public companies they are private, but you can buy shares in a private casino company, but only under special conditions.
Private companies do not sell shares to the general public like public companies do, private companies do it more in a private way with their own conditions.
But I tell you today having shares in a gambling company is a very good investment.
And I think it's high time reputable gambling companies should start announcing sells of their shares here too so interested members can buy.

Gamble bankroll investment was only common in the early days of crypto, it has not been common on fiat gambling sites. It is good to know that as crypto adoption increased and as there are more prominent gambling sites, gambling bankroll investment has faded away. It is true that it can benefit investors but crypto gambling sites are no more offering it.

That's like saying sex is an investment because you can buy shares of a company that fabricates condom.


If casinos are so profitable, why would they sell shares? Wouldn't it be better to keep all the profit from themselves?

Unless they need money, which the big ones don't...

[9ja Amaka]

Bro, people are buying shares in gambling companies, you are not aware because you dont have the money to buy one.
Shares listing cannot be done in the forum, irrespective of its reputation. If you want to buy shares, reach out to the team, and they will book a schedule for live section talks and tell you if any shares are available. Maybe you dont know that most casinos are not owned or operated by one person. It is owned by different people who have shares in the company.

As far as I research about crypto based platform as as investment, there were several in the past. However, the turn out was not good that's why they stop offering it as a bankroll. And if you search in this forum, there are some members who invested on casinos like,

Bustabit
Bustadice
Yolodice

Notable among them is bustadice their use to have high percentages paying bankroll investment way back, but I don't know how that is right now, since it has been a while I make use of the casino or even visited them, although that is not the kind of investment the ops is talking about, he meant to say buying into casino shares owning a portion of the business, this can be seen in different ways, while some sees such attempts a a good approach others may see it as unnecessary and risky to invest on casino just because of the expected turnover.

I'm afraid you're misleading if you just say gambling is an investment. Gambling itself isn't an investment. On the contrary, it's a way to lose money.

Anyway, I think there's not a single crypto gambling company that's public. So, it's kind of hard to invest in one. Moreover, I haven't heard of any lately that conducted a crowdfunding or solicited investments from anybody.

But if you've got much and you're really interested, there might be a way to get a direct line with startup owners or those that have just entered the market. I believe our managers here have direct contacts with the teams themselves.

Otherwise, you'd just content yourself with bankroll investment.

[crwth]

Hmm. That's a different topic altogether. I like how TryNinja put it. 

Anyway, publicly listed gambling companies can be your investment. Since you can purchase those shares, then you can now say that you are an investor in a gambling company but not "Gambling" directly.

The title of this thread is misleading bud, gambling is not and never an investment, but owning and managing a gambling company like the casino is definitely is, this two are not the same for it is one thing to own a casino and it's another completely to be a gambler.

And speaking of gambling company owning shares, I would like to ask, what difference does a casino owning shares has or is from the one that owns their own crypto currency?
There is clearly no difference because aside needing a government license and approval to own and sell shares, the company can still fall, declare bankruptcy and those who invested in that shares will end up losing money, same thing that happens with the gambling company that owns crypto currency as well.
I am not against casinos owning and selling shares but to be honest with you, I don't see the need especially when casino owners always prefer to stay anonymous.

[laijsica]

Although I don't have much idea whether a gambling company is a profitable project, I talked to a casino employee in Thailand about the amount of profit. He said that the profit in the casino is satisfactory, but the amount of VAT paid to the government is relatively high and a huge budget has to be allocated for other sectors, so even if a profitable project is conceived from the outside it is not so profitable. Establishing a gambling company requires huge investment and many steps have to be taken to get permission from the government. And those who establish this company once do not want to sell shares due to the regular flow of money.

[rat03gopoh]

I wonder if this casino stock sale (if any) is systematically regulated, as most non-casino companies going public are required to provide financial transparency to all parties, both in terms of liquidity and revenue. I can't imagine an online casino would comply with this.

I'm not talking about the launch of a casino security token, as that's a distinctly different contract.

Those public companies which are public owned may hav e enough money stipulated to risk and when lost will not be a step to their downfall but when it get to do with the private companies, they have lot of phobias against lost.

So that conscious ness of losing and less invested funds as an individual owned casino will ignite them not to sell a share due to economy management sake in order to coverup expenses because private casinos or might not be too profitable as we may think.

Private companies don’t just allow any random person to invest in their business. There has to be something in it for them to agree to make you a partner. Maybe if one of the owners needs money for another investment or for any purpose, they might sell a few shares, but since most casinos aren’t owned by publicly listed companies, you will have problems with liquidity. If you want to exit that investment at a profit, you won’t be able to find buyers so easily.

Yes, i have remembered Bustabit/Bustadice dice have that investment option and i dont know if its still up to now. There are several companies too that have this kind of arrangement about letting people do make out some option on making some investment on which we can really say that this is indeed a profitable one. Why? Because we do know that house do always win at the end and there's no way that casinos would be bankrupt considering that there are winning thresholds. This is the only time on which gambling is an investment on which at the time that you do make out some investment into the house, but if you are that a gambler or player literally then there's no way that we can be able to tell ourselves that gambling is an investment.

Now, we arent seeing that much house now that offering investment because business owners having that sufficient funds or capital to run this profitable business. We do know that gambling houses will always win at the end.

[Botnake]

That’s probably why they’re no longer offering bankroll investments, which used to be popular before, around 2016 to 2018. These days, they just rely on private investors and try to survive in a much tougher market.

Also about the title, I think it’s a bit misleading. It would be better to say the gambling business is a good investment. Some people might read it as gambling itself being an investment, especially since there are videos out there, mostly about sports betting, calling it “sports investing” and claiming it can be profitable. That wording can easily confuse people.

This is like saying that once you are a rich person you don't need to work for money anymore, but in reality if you are a billionaire you will stay billionaire with your nonstop income stream, no rich person will ever say no to extra, and also no amount of money will ever be enough for rich people.

Casinos are mostly profitable, it's one of the most lucrative business I know and selling shares isn't a bad idea, it brings more money anyways, there is no business that's too big for shares, there are too many examples of giant companies around the world that has shares, they made insane amount of money every week yet there shares are out there floating. I will accept that shares is a choice, for casinos but big and small it doesn't make a difference.

[mindrust]

There are many casino stocks in the stock market but most of them perform fairly poorly. MGM Resorts International and are Las Vegas Sands (LVS) good examples. Most of them don’t even pay any dividends. Where does all the money go then? They are probably ripping off their investors. I haven’t taken a look at their balance sheet and income statements but that’s the first thing comes to my mind. They all probably have a clever explanation to justify their lack of profits/dividends. (E.g. “business tuff bruh trump bruh”) I don’t buy it. Casinos rarely lose money and yet their stocks perform shitty. There are far better alternatives out there imo.

[maydna]

Gambling is not investment. You invest in casino by buying shares if they offers this to their members. You can be their investors and get sharing profit from them. But I do not know those casinos that have investment program. Once I invested Bitcoin in the Yolodice casino in the past which gave me a decent profit. I don't know about Bustadice and I don't tried it. They have a minimum investment of ₿ 0.01.

When the big ones are still starting of course they sold stocks so that early investors can get their profits and so the company can compensate everyone as well. Handling a company is complex and for a lot of companies, trading publicly is a good thing. Eventually the companies get bigger and their stocks more expensive.

Gambling companies may be a good idea to invest in due to how much growth there is in the industry. The newer the company the better especially if it ends up becoming really successful.

[Maus0728]

I doubt that you can get in that if you are not a part of early adopters though, most of the time, new casinos do this so people are encouraged to promote the casino because they have a stake in it which makes it so they can make money faster but when the casino becomes more established as days go by, I think they eventually phase out this thing so they can make more profit for themselves or maybe even buy out those early investors. That title is such a mislead too, I do not believe in anyway that gambling can be an investment unless you are a stakeholder in that business, maybe the right title should be "Gambling business is an investment".
