Is gambling acceptable in your country?

[pieppiep]

In my country gambling is likely one of the biggest markets right now, and that's not as a result of it being considered legal or not, as far as the law is concerned in my country gambling is considered legal, but while we have a lot of moral scrutiny from majorly the adults, they always speak directly against gambling in all its form, however, the youth have the most association with gambling, it's almost the order of the day within the youths as it's considered as means of livelihood and occupation due to the lack of job and basic social amenities target for youth empowerment.

People and their societies also possess their own techniques of addressing the different things that evolve around them. This is the case whenever a particular entity becomes integrated into the lives of many people and some of the views are positive while others are negative. It is evident that what a person does depends on the context especially when discussing constraints in attaining other opportunities. This is a strategy not only in terms of people’s behaviour, but as to how they learn to fit into certain conditions. Every change that occurs always ushers in different thoughts, and that is what makes a society to move and grow continually.

I'm curious where do you come from? I assume you are from European country, right? In my country, gambling is totally banned. I am not surprised with this because most of countries in ASIA look like to prohibit gambling. But in European countries, I assume gambling is legal and supported by the governments.

There are quite a lot of online gambling platforms in my country, and there are always ads that appear on smartphones every time you open a paid service and you have to watch the ads first, even though the majority of people in my country are Muslim and gambling should be strictly prohibited, but again, everyone always has their own rights as long as they are able to finance their own gambling.

Its technical from gambling platform website try to advertise their platform how to get interested from many people, during your country gambling is legal activities I think every day have thousand kinds of gambling platform spend much money for promote their website.
Difference in my country Indonesia, gambling as illegal activities and there are no way for advertising and most of gambling website change their domain almost every week, its detected suspend by our government when founding any gambling website except gambling platform other country.

Indonesia is the country with the largest Muslim population in the world, and in fact gambling does not recognize religion... some Muslims who are not devout mostly gamble since they were teenagers. that means, religion is not a barrier enough to sort out between gambling interests and not...

A serious problem in Indonesia today is, gamblers are too addicted to returning their lost money when playing slots, even though slots themselves are games that are already known to win... so I think the perfect factor to be used as a reason why many people gamble is economic factors, not religious factors...

Whether gambling is prohibited or not, as long as their economy still hopes for money from gambling, then gambling will continue to live there.

Not sure it works like that. No country will prohibit gambling and still expect to profit from it. The only way a country's economy benefits from gambling is through the taxes that betting sites pay to the government. When these taxes are paid to the government, they are directed toward the country's economy. This is how it works.

Thus, where gambling is prohibited, such a country cannot benefit from it because it prevents them from receiving tax and other benefits from the betting site.

It boils down to weight the severity of gambling menace on the citizens to the revenue it will accrue to the country. Some countries are too religious that they don't welcome gambling. Gambling in its own has done more harm than good to the economy.

This is where the government needs to strike a balance. But even in the prohibited countries, people still play with vpn

Yes, it has actually become a tradition, especially the illegal ones, during festive days. There are so many casinos that, despite many operating without a license, people still use them. This is mainly because they are heavily promoted online through social media without any consequences.

When it comes to the issue of gambling approvals, we have to consider many factors that contribute to that such factors as religion and cultural practices, in most highly religious and culturally inclined societies, gambling is seen as a sin and punishable under the customary laws.

So we need to accept that fact and not question too much why some gambling platforms are restricted and at what level their illegal approaches are we should put in place all necessary applications and take note of regional and religious restrictions alongside government regulations on gambling.

It appears that when something has become popular and has become in one way or another the normal way of doing things among many people, then it lasts. Readily available through various methods which makes things more and more developed and out of control. The people do not always avoid something because it is against the law or is prohibited by existing laws if it has been in practise for sometime. The factor that also stands out significantly is promotion for the programme to be continuous so as to attract more people to participate more often. This can easily be explained that as long as there is palpable interest and more so demand, something will go on without regard to existing limitations.

This happens when authorities selectively decide when and how to enforce their power. Corruption plays a significant role, along with cultural factors. This country have a history of colonization, and gambling has been ingrained in society for centuries — from the wealthy to the poor, no one is exempt. This tradition, which dates back over 300 years, continues today, even extending to online betting.

Not only that, I think if a country prohibited gambling, on the one hand they will lose revenue from gambling platforms, on the other hand those who like to gamble will try to gamble on other sites. And if that happens, that country will suffer from all sides. That is why I think every country should allow gambling platforms. If they allow gambling platforms, they will get revenue and if they don't, their country's money will go to other countries. Along with allowing gambling platforms, governments can also campaign to raise awareness about gambling for the public so that people don't consider it a source of income and don't get addicted. As we see in the case of drugs.

Gambling promotions can now be seen every day on all platforms. But that is indeed their way to invite more people to gamble at their place.

In a country where gambling is legal and even something that is prohibited in a country, their advertisements will always be there. Moreover, now we are in the digital era where we can very easily access anything.

Yes, Nowadays many different forms of promotions can be obtained easily in many places since technological developments in diverse areas made information diffusion more effective. Products that would otherwise be located in particular places are spread across the different platforms within a short span of time. Another one that has also developed is promotions in aspects concerning those games that entail gambling. This is true notwithstanding the fact that the rules of many places in the world differ and promotions are not as loud as before, but they can still be seen at some places in different forms. Since information becomes easily available, the presence of this kind of promotion will always remain among the things that are observed in daily life.

They will do anything to attract many people, promotion is one of them. Once again in this era we are increasingly easy to access something, even something that is actually prohibited in some countries.

Well, we ourselves can not do anything, unless we ourselves limit ourselves. I do not blame them when there are many who end up addicted, but this is the responsibility of each person themselves.
