Hello to all hive users 🙏❤️😊
Hope you all are healthy and doing great in your life🙂
Gambling addiction can be a bad habit and one should stay away from it. I have heard this word from many people and in reality, these words also appear in the advertisements of those gambling apps which promote betting. I also do not understand that if those people think so much about the public, then what do they make of such apps. Every day I keep reading in the news that the police caught so many people gambling in the open. These are the people who gamble in the open, then how many people can be found gambling in closed rooms, then how will anyone catch them.
Nowadays, so many gambling applications have come on the internet that a person does not need to go out of the house to gamble and he can play so many types of gambling sitting at home and try his luck in them. However, these applications are also addictive in a way and once a person gets trapped in the clutches of these applications, it is very difficult to come out of there.
I have a friend whose brother also got trapped in the clutches of these applications and got trapped very badly. It happened like this that my friend's younger brother must have installed a betting application in his mobile phone and after installing the application he got some rupees as a bonus to play the game, then he explored the application and there he saw many games which were related to betting. Slowly Bhavna was getting trapped in the trap of betting application because as my friend told that whatever game he played there, he would come first in it and his bonus points kept increasing. You are understanding the term of these applications.
In the beginning they provide some bonus and then you will win in every game so that your morale remains high and then they will make you invest some money. Like here they will say that you add money from your account to this application and buy gaming points and get some cashback or some additional points. Whoever does this will get caught in the clutches of the game because what will happen is that once you start putting money into the application, then that application will keep on losing you in the game because its algorithm is something like this and then you will add more money to win, then in the beginning it will win you some rupees and then this is the working algorithm of these applications.

I have just told you a little about these applications and how many such types of applications are available on the internet today and those applications have thousands to lakhs of users. I do not understand how such applications are available on the internet today which works to trap these users and in a way, it weaves a trap for its users. You can think for yourself if every person starts earning even a little money then how will these application companies earn and they do not want a little income but a big income so that they can earn a good amount.
Along with this, I would also like to raise a question on the government that if the government takes a huge tax on these applications then what is the benefit of paying tax when it is not able to work in the interest of the people from whom it is collecting tax because the algorithm of these applications which I just told you traps this very public. Playing games is not a bad thing but it is legal only if the games are played in a fair manner. Things that involve cheating and those that trap their own users should be made illegal. Every few days I read in the newspaper or in some article that this person has lost a lot of money in online betting. These are the same people who fall prey to these scam betting applications.
I believe that banning these applications will not be a solution because people who want to gamble, play it by any means. If a person is gambling, then one thing in favor of the government is that they get a huge amount of tax, about 30 percent, which is very high. This will definitely increase the government's revenue. But I would like to say that if the government legalizes it, then a lot of reforms are needed in it. The first reform should be that a limit should be set in it that you cannot gamble above this amount and it will also be beneficial that there will also be control over the person who gambles a lot of money in excitement.
The second thing that I just told you about scan betting applications is that such applications should be completely banned and one should be aware of the algorithm and working procedure of all the betting applications available in the market and if any such algorithm is found in any application which can track its users, such applications should be banned immediately and action should be taken against that company.
Along with this, I have another idea in my mind that these applications should have information about the bank accounts of their users that how much money is in the account of this user. Whatever money is in his account, only a certain percentage of it should be available to him for gambling and this percentage should be very low. Like only 10 or 15% of it can be used for gambling and not more than that. This will ensure that people who are financially weak will not be able to spend more money and often it happens that if a person starts losing then he needs more money to recover it and sometimes it happens that he loses all the money and in the end he takes such a step which is not right for him and his family. That is why it is very important to have a limitation in the money for joining and playing.
Along with this, I also think that if a person loses more money than a particular limit, then he cannot gamble for a few months or years. This will ensure that the person's attention will not go towards joining and the person can then think with a cool mind whether he should play thi game or not.
Finally let me make one thing clear to you that I neither support gambling nor do I play it. The points I have mentioned above are for those rich people who play gambling as a hobby.
Thanks for reading till the end
Comment down any suggestions or feedback 🙏
I agree with you. There should be government taxed on those betting so high that only a few will even have to afford. And this scam app in the name of betting should be fully banned
Scam app should be banned immediately
Thanks 🙏
Yup. It won't stop them just like those that are addicted to drugs or drinking. They still going to find ways. I think one of the main issues with gambling is people are gambling more than they can afford to lose. They shouldn't be betting their house, life savings etc. it should only be entertainment money.
That's why there is some limitations needed for these gamblers.
These limitations can only be applied by government.
what limitations do you suggest? people going to do it anyways. the problem lies in the people their mindset
I have already mentioned the limitations on my post.
I request you to please read my full post.
bro I read it. The limitations you suggested aren't too realistic bud.
It's their money. I don't think anybody would want the government to control how they spend their money. Would you be ok with that? It'd be the same thing as saying oh you're drunkard now imma set a limit on how much money you can spend on alcohol u buy so you can't buy too much alcohol?
Anything can be addicting, anything can be bad. Making it illegal because people can't control themselves is silly. People smoke and they get lung cancer and ruin their life and it affects their family as well the hospital fees so we should limit this too?
I don't think it's ok. You want people to know how much is in your bank account? That's madness. These kinds of things should be private and banks should be protecting that information.
There's better things for the government to work on, why waste tax money on an issue that will always be there >.>. we just going to give ways for it to evolve lol like now instead of porn we have only fans. I can't imagine how gambling will evolve if we try to make it illegal and what underhanded methods people will do to keep it going. It's better to keep it up and regulated but it's not in the casinos or the governments problem to try to control people on it.
I think it'd be more beneficial to give people more education so people have stronger minds and stay away and of course parents should help with that. In the end, if they still end up doing it what can you do. You can teach the people all you want but you cant control them. We have people still committing crimes despite the law there. I'm not saying there shouldn't be a law but i'm just saying government won't be able to do much.
I did not say that the government should control our all expenses.
These suggestions are only for online gambling Apps.
I mean to say that the gambling applications can have a particular credit limit where you cannot spend more than a limit, and the government can give such instructions to those gambling apps and should properly check about it.
As far as the bank account is concerned, I don't know at how many places people make payments from their bank accounts these days and do you feel that your account information is safe?
Why do only those people who have more money in their accounts and does more transactions get calls from credit card companies or credit departments?
These are all third party companies, so how do they get someone's account information?
This is just for limitation so that no person can spend more than his limit. Because it is often seen that people start spending money indiscriminately on gambling when they start losing or winning.
According to me, just knowing the bank balance is not an issue.
you didn't directly say but what you said was implying it bud.
I still find this pointless bro. people can create multiple accounts and use other peoples id if kyc is needed. Also something similar to gambling is rolling gatches on games. If someone is addicted to video games and spends money on gatchas and rerolling for legendary skins are we going to limit them when it's their money. Maybe people seek joy and adrenaline from gambling. They pay for that euphoric feeling of winning a lot or losing a lot. I don't think setting a credit limit is a good idea if it was it would've already been done years ago
Yes. They are legally regulated to protect our data bro.
Obviously to check for fraud if activity seems suspicious.
You have to go to the root of the problem bro. None of your solutions are the root of the problem. Why do people need to gamble?? Why are poor people gambling more they can afford?. If they weren't poor would they still gamble?
There's better ways to tackle this issue. One is education and two is to make sure people have more money so they don't feel like they need to "get rich quick". Education will naturally help people make more $$ and wiser decisions
