Gambling Down Under
Australia is one of the greatest gambling places in the
world. The casinos in Australia are equipped with all
the latest facilities and games. However, despite all
these advantages, there is large-scale illegal gambling
that takes place in Australia. The effects of such
illegal gambling or uncontrolled gambling can be
extremely hazardous.
Extreme Effects
Gambling has the potential to destroy the lives of
individuals completely. Especially, if gambling is not
treated merely as a sport and more of a resource to earn
money, it can be a huge problem. The ill effects of
gambling have troubled all the countries. Australia is
no exception. There are several ill-effects that can be
associated to gambling in Australia. The major ill
effects are as follows:
1)
The
major fall out of unlimited gambling is the rise in
criminal activities. A large number of Australians who
get addicted to gambling often get involved in legal
offences. Gambling requires large amount of money. To
secure this money, people tend to get involved in thefts
and other illegal means of securing money for gambling.
This is a major fall out of illegal and unlimited
gambling in Australia.
2)
Another very important ill effect of gambling in
Australia is drug trafficking. Australians who gamble on
a very large scale are involved in the business of
harmful drugs to an unimaginable extent. It is believed
that there is a very deep relationship between the
illegal gambling agencies in Australia and the drug
traffickers in the country.
3)
According to various official reports, there is a very
strong link between gambling and organized crime circle
in Australia. Criminals earn huge amounts of money
through gambling. This money is used as funds by the
criminals to carry out their other criminal activities
very smoothly.
4)
There are several other harmful effects of gambling.
These effects include tax evasions, hidden ownership of
casinos, money laundering and even cheating and fraud.
5)
People, who
become addicts to gambling, face immense personal
hardships. Their family life is completely destroyed and
their professional life too suffers greatly.
All these are some of the important
gambling effects
that can be currently observed in Australia. Australia
has extremely stringent laws for controlling gambling
activities. Thus, individuals can hope that these
effects would be eliminated eventually by these laws.
