Is gambling acceptable in your country?

[vs2014]

I have done a lot of research to find that many countries do not accept gambling which means you cannot gamble directly even if you want to. But online gambling is now running in all countries and they can easily gamble online while maintaining privacy. But in most of the Muslim countries playing it is totally prohibited so people of those countries cannot directly play offline gambling. However please comment on its acceptability in your country.

Gambling is not only legal in our country provided that it is licensed, my country is the one running both the physical casinos and the lottery instead of the private sectors they did this so they can sustain the health and poor sectors that badly need funds, all the profit that these platforms generated goes to the coffer, so this is why gambling is legal in our country and being encourage but only platforms that the government supported private companies that are compliant.

There's no issue for land-based casinos but the online is a bit different.

Online casinos that acquired their license in the Philippines are not allowed to offer their service to Filipinos. It's quite weird but I've seen the same rules in Curacao. However, residents are allowed to gamble on online casinos/sportsbook licensed in other countries.

Gambling and casino sites are banned by the government in my country but many gambling and casinos are developed under the eyes of the government. However, the government continues to operate these gambling and casino sites despite multiple bans and fines. Online gambling business is booming in our country especially many young people are losing capital by investing in these volatile online gambling and casino sites. Many school, college and university students are ruining their bright future by getting attracted to these online gambling and casinos.  Many times these online gambling and casino sites have been seized by the government, but it is not possible to completely end them. Therefore, no matter how many positive decisions and plans are implemented by the government, online gambling and casinos will never be 100% banned or confiscated.

Indeed there are many countries that think gambling is illegal and a huge threat to both their citizens and their economy, but among several other countries, my country happens to have legalized gambling but it's kinda regulated, especially when it comes to ages that are allowed to gamble

[MUGNIA]

in my country gambling is strictly prohibited, offline and online everything is prohibited, access to online sites is difficult and some even have their access closed, but the prohibition is an order for gambling enthusiasts ,  they use VPN to ensure their gambling runs smoothly,

It is true that gambling is very much not authorised in many countries but yet their citizens do engage in online gambling with privacy and so doing nobody can notice their gambling lifestyle which as a result of the presence of online Casino which made it easier to engage without going out. Just being at your comfort zone and have your mobile phone and internet, you could just do your thing from where you are.
As a matter of fact,  the government in my nation issues licence for gambling shops aka betting shops to operate which fully makes them legal and therefore that makes them a legal entity and acceptable in my country.

but are Muslims allowed to gamble in some other countries?
like China, they also banned gambling but the Chinese are allowed to gamble in other places including Hongkong.  and there are even Chinese landbase casinos in other countries like in Cambodia and Thailand.

my country has National Lottery which my fellowmen are still hoping to win the life changing millions. we also have a lot of online casino promoted by local influences and that i guess its legal.

Likely not yet, regarding in my country with Muslim majority gambling is an acceptable or illegal activities and some one will get punishment if advertising gambling or active playing gambling. But dilemma with our politician and our citizen make Singapore as their destination for gambling or active in casino because there are have legal activities and many our politician make casino as place for money laundering.
I think all Muslim majority will not allow or legal gambling activities, there are not space for gambler and many entertainment have get low after advertising with gambling website.

gambling is allowed in Nigeria except for dice games, non-skilled card games, and roulettes.
I live in a country where there are very few job opportunities, so if our government attempts to outlaw gambling for its citizens, it will only be because he wants to make their lives difficult despite the risk involved.
However, there are Muslim communities that forbid gambling because they feel it violates their religious beliefs

Regardless, Chinese citizens are still not allowed to gamble overseas. Their embassy has been proactive in warning their citizens about gambling in other countries. China has also been asking for cooperation with other Governments to deal with cross-border gambling.

I am from the Philippines, where gambling is allowed as long as they apply for a license or register with the government agency that handles the gambling industry. However, unlike in some other countries that have a strict regulation on gambling, there is only quite a little regulation in our country. This is the main reason why some illegal online casinos operated by Chinese people try to have or continue their operations in our country, even if they are being considered illegal.

[Litzki1990]

Gambling is considered a forbidden act in Muslim-majority countries, so all gambling-related activities are illegal in every Muslim-majority country. Although gambling is illegal in all major Muslim countries, there are many people who gamble on various gambling sites with great secrecy. Maybe gambling is a crime according to their legal and religious rules but if they can play in secret then they don't consider it a crime at all. Outside of predominantly Muslim countries, there are also countries where gambling is frowned upon. People who have little idea about online gambling, if they are told about washing, they will surely think that it is a very bad thing and if any member of that family gambles and if his family members come to know about his gambling then surely they will comment that their family  The child is going down a bad path. Gambling is generally considered illegal and natural depending on location and location.

Some sort of them are acceptable, but not all. You can't just open up a casino in Turkey and get people to gamble on blackjack or something (not that there is a big addiction going around i nthe youth today unfortunately all due to online ones) but at the same time you can gamble on sports anytime you want, and yo can play on lottery, there are some sort of different gambling games that you can even buy on the street, like scratch cards and so forth. Which means that, not ALL forms of gambling is allowed, but there are few different type of gambling games that are allowed by the government at the moment, been like that as far as I can remember, maybe got a bit more modernized in the past 10 years, but it has been limited but allowed in some sort of forms one way or another for decades.

I am from the Philippines, where gambling is permitted as long as it is licensed or registered with a specific government agency that manages the gambling industry. However, unlike other countries that impose strict regulations on gambling activities, there is relatively little regulation in our country. This has become the reason why some illegal online casinos operated by Chinese people to continue their operations, despite being considered illegal.

They can easily pay corrupt officials to not get caught or else they can obtain a license because they have a contact inside. Recently the operation of government to take down illegal casinos has tightened and guess what? Only a small number of illegal casinos got caught, not those whales. That is why those rich Chinese people want to operate here in our country because they can easily evade. The government also wants all of the gambling activities like casinos to pay tax which is why they are closing those illegal ones.
