I had this thread created on Bitcointalk some years ago but might as well create one here, will you vote for a candidate who is running for public office if he is the operator of a gambling platform in your area?
For me, since gambling is legal in our country I will depends my vote based on his performance and how he interacts with people, and it depends on what kind of betting platform he is running a lotto betting station is preferable for me.
Please cast your vote and explain why you voted no or yes

Sometimes, before politicians contest for any position, they might have run for some other small position from which people can access their qualities. So, if the politician has access and I find him to have good qualities as a leader, I will definitely cast my vote for him. Despite the fact that he runs a casino, it doesn't prove him to have fulfilled his obligations as president or governor.

There are two compound words there which means a politician and betting company..
Lets deal away with the betting company first, and focused on the political aspect of voting. Before voting any politician I will have to examine him carefully if he is that charitable otherwise I don't see any reason electing someone who can't really hear the cry of the masses. The main reason we have him is to let him here the cry of the masses and fix things that aren't working in the country hence doesn't have that charisma to fix a nation then we shouldn't vote for him because that is our future and we shouldn't jeopardized our future for anything else.
Then back to the betting company, at first betting company doesn't have anything to do with because his company is being managed by professional gambling operation or who keens to know things about gambling than so, electing the owner doesn't really matter except there was a record of ill activity or was seen as a gambling addicts then we say he isn't worthy enough to handle the position of a government officials.

politicians who runs betting station or owns a cockpit arena in our country are often well known and sometimes people love them while also afraid of them. politicians are often powerful in our country and can just call someone from the high place and make things happen. its good when he favors you but also not if he treats you as enemy. that's why i can only answer Maybe.
it depends whether this politician is also your friend or your friend's friend. ;D

Voting people into public office should be done based on the person's accountability and transparency on how he does things. It is not by the investment that the person posses, if not we might end up voting the wrong person. A politician that runs a bet station can be voted for if he has the mind to transform the country and make the citizens his priority.
-
Gambling is completely illegal and punishable by law in my country so no politician can commit to such gambling in the political context of my country for now. But one thing is very important that the political leaders of my country do not need the votes of the people so they do not need to be accountable so the corruption of the political leaders is widespread in the political circles. If there was a system of accountability of political leaders to the people, various anti-social activities might have been reduced, but due to the lack of accountability, other anti-social activities including gambling are increasing day by day.

I will not vote for a politicians that has gambling station. That is not a good encouragement to the youth. Gambling nis not full time fun but a partial fun. And I will only vote for a candidate that supports bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies so that it will be legalized when he has won the election and that will help the youth more than a candidate that has betting shop. It is good to do something that will change the life of the youth as a politician and gambling will remove the small money they have in their life. Gambling is not a career and it not a profession so I would vote him.
-
I casted my vote as "maybe" the reason for that is simple. In simple terms the one running a gambling system may get vote from me because I will look for other qualities in that candidate.
If he's someone who's known for doing good work, and is someone with good ethics then why not to caste vote for such a person, no matter even if he runs a casino, I would still vote a person like that if he's honest and hard-working.
-
It depends on that specific politician. For me, even if the politician is involved in a certain business that is connected to gambling, as long as it is legal, and they have the necessary documents to prove that they are running a legitimate business, it should not be an issue. The more important thing is their own qualifications for the position or being a politician and whether they have a plan to improve the country. Anything illegal should always be the primary concern, but if gambling is legal in the country, then it is not a problem.

Let's consider a president of a country owning a betting company. If a president has a personal financial stake in the gambling industry, they may be influenced to make decisions that benefit their business interests rather than acting in the best interest of the citizens. This could include voting against regulations that would harm their business or supporting policies that would benefit it.
If a politician owns a betting shop it might raise ethical concerns about a politician profiting from an activity that can have negative impacts on individuals.
However, in my submission, the decision to vote for a politician who owns a betting shop may come down to personal character and judgment. I will judge based on his personality and antecedents rather than judging his credibility based on owning a betting shop.
-
I would not vote for politician that is running a betting station, but I dont participate in any voting for a long time.
Voting is another form of government scam in most countries because they only have controlled candidates, and they are counting the votes, so it is not important how you voted.
We saw what happened in US but it is the same thing in most countries.

Politicians in my country don't need votes because they don't care about people's votes. Moreover, the approval of casinos or betting sites is not required by people's votes, but only by giving small gifts to political circles or leaders, casinos or betting sites are approved. Moreover, since the casino or betting site has not been legalized in my country, politicians in our country do not accept any positive plan regarding such casino or betting site.
-
If someone has a betting station, then it's most likely that he's also a betting man no? Not all but a majority probably do. I don't know about you but a gambler that will be handling large money coming from people's taxes is a huge red flag for me. You may argue that how they spend the money can be audited but you never know how transparent they really are.
-
Regardless, each individual has the same right to run for public office or become a politician. Yes, they are entitled because I think it is part of the rights they can get.
But of course before running for office, there is a process that must be passed and obeyed. I don't know if there is a rule that someone who is directly involved with a betting station is prohibited from running for office or not. But it seems to me that there should be ethics and consider not allowing him to run.
-
No, I will not vote for this politician, because if he wins the election, I am sure that his gambling business will continue to grow and will further damage the mentality of people who want to be rich but don't want to bother working, even though what they are doing, in my opinion, is wrong, relying on gambling for their lives.
-
A politician running a betting shop is not one of the avenues to qualify or disqualify a politician running a position in his country of origin since gambling is not illegal in his country and he is over 18 years old.
When it comes to selecting eligible candidates that are worth people's vote, there are areas to look into, and having a gambling shop or partaking in gambling is far from it.
It will be too wrong of me to say that because my favorite politician has a betting shop or partakes in gambling the same way I do, I won't vote for him because of that. While he is worthy to be voted upon to win the position he is verging for.
-
So far I've never done that. But this is actually quite interesting, you know. Especially in some countries, sometimes we seem to be completely sure who will be the winner because of certain factors. So sometimes it's a lot easier to find. But so far I've never done it. Especially if it is related to the political election to my government, I have not found a site for gambling.

I understand your point of view but then if the politician in question has a questionable character or has traces of gambling addiction or a failed relationship caused by his gambling addiction, such a person is not worthy of a public position because he has failed the morality test. Such a person will preoccupy his time with gambling rather than formulating policies that will promote the greatest happiness of the greatest number.

I am not so sure if owning a betting station is an attribute to look for in a leader that is aiming for power. You should look forward to their manifesto instead and know the kind of leader to cast your vote for. The betting station own by the candidate is a personal business which would be run by someone else the moment the candidate comes into power. Some people might think that the candidate when elected would influence the youth into betting, but that won't be the case. In conclusion, I would vote for a candidate that has a good manifesto, neglecting the fact that he/she own a betting station.
-
I will not vote for a candidate for office who runs a business such as gambling, because then maybe he will abuse his position to facilitate his business and thwart his competitors. Because we know for ourselves how the gambling business is, competition and many other quite dirty things, and when a gambling owner has enough power in his hands, it will probably enable him to use various methods to trip up opponents and build his business even bigger. I'm not exaggerating, but that's what usually happens, so I won't choose people like that to run for office.

Your concerns about potential abuses of power when evaluating candidates for political office are not out of place. Considering the background and business interests of aspirants for political office is important because an aspirant's business can influence their decisions and actions while in office.
Transparency, accountability, and ethical conduct are critical traits that voters assess in political candidates and so candidates who have ties to gambling may face scrutiny regarding their ability to remain impartial and prioritize the public interest over their personal or business interests. Looking at the nature of the gambling business, there is a risk that if elected this politician may use his political position to advance the interests of his business ventures to the detriment of the common good.
-
First and foremost, when it comes to voting for some aspiring for public office, it means they have something to offer to the people which is the first criteria to be qualified and endorsed by the people.
Secondly, when the politician in question has any other business that could give them any unfair advantage , like awarding themselves contracts etc then they have to declare this, but in terms of running a gambling business...if this is a legal thing in the country it wouldn't much of a problem unless the politician is using it as a money laundering front then with proof he can be brought to book for this.. otherwise I will vote for such a person with a clean sleeve!!
-
There's no correlation between running a betting station and being a good leader. If the politician is of good character and charisma then why not.
In Nigeria we have voted for people who have Breweries and produce alcohol in large quantities. You can have a betting station yet you are not into gambling.
-
yes i would vote for someone who is running a betting station as long as he has good background personally i can't think of why would a politician own a betting station but i also do not think it will be such a hindrance to his leadership ideal politicians in my head would be educators lawyers doctors economists and etc but let us say one of them has a good title and has a good profession that aligns with politics while also runs a betting station then i think it is fine
i would not however vote for a politician just because he is running a betting station

Okay, if there's like a widespread problem of gambling addicts in your country and there's a bill passed by another lawmaker calling for a ban of betting or raising taxes of betting stations, do you think that politician with the business will agree to that? Probably not. He doesn't have to be a gambler but problems will arise once his gambling business will be affected.
-
For me gambling has nothing to do with his political career as long as it is legal and has not created any trouble or chaos to the community since gambling is legal here in our country but as per the politician himself, if just like what others have said it depends on his behavior and characteristics if he or she fit for the specific position if I know he can do the job perfectly without any anomaly then why not?
-
will you vote for a candidate who is running for public office if he is the operator of a gambling platform in your area?
You could be the operator of a gambling platform and still be very interested in responsible gambling and promoting it. I would rather judge the politician from his personal attributes than from the business he operates.

we have voted politicians worse than owners of betting platforms. so its not a problem for me as well.
but they all made crimes in the past they re just lucky they are not caught. this is why the criminals respected these politicians because they can organize crimes. and that means they can organize people to work together like good citizens who pays their taxes.
if these politicians can run country and decide better than the ones who causes the problems, then they are better politicians.

Exactly my thought, gambling is legal in Nigeria and a politician owning a gambling station doesn't affect his credibility, except he has established cases of gambling addiction. Because you can own an offline casino shop get you ain't a gambler

I did not see anything wrong for him involve in gambling,gamble doesn’t stop him from doing the right thing as a leader,even the current leaders we have might still be a gambler,they don't place it in anyone face.

Sometimes we quickly judge because of the activity we found ourselves and we think so would others behave as well, but one thing we must understand is that, when someone has the credibility to carry out things or performs their duties correctly then I don't see any reason holding things against them. Our country corrupt but even as that we have good leaders as well as good followers but we can't deal away bad leaders and bad followers, this is a general phenomenon and almost the whole countries experiences this as well.

I can understand this topic only when speaking about specific countries, where politicians are not allowed to have any business, because their decisions can include getting benefits for their own business. Everything else is ok with me. If a any person is running a legal business and running it fair, why would I have something against that person? If a person can handle two or more things simultaneousy, it is more than ok with me.
