Gambling is an investment.

This is not always the case, some casino was owned by a private company that backed already with many investors before they venture in online casino.

Only casino that doesn’t have private fundings seek public investment in the form of token sales or bankroll investments but most of the well established casino was owned by private company that doesn’t launch a public investment.

A casino is an investment for investors who have a business plan and can predict an approximate profit, or an exact profit if it's stipulated in their contract. For players, gambling isn't really an investment because betting is too risky to predict profits, and investments are passive income, while gambling is an active activity that, for the player is more likely to be work than an investment.

Gambling as an investment is not mostly admitted by gamblers, because they would have been on it for some time now and found out to be of no difference to what they see if they had not invested, gambling platforms also suffer regulation challenge and they may not be able to allow all these to be offered any longer to gamblers because of government regulations, which are not applicable to allow us have access to even if the casinos want to offer them.

Gambling cannot be considered an investment, because in the long run, casinos and bookmakers will ultimately take the player's money; that's how this business works. Gambling can be considered a profitable business if you are the owner of such a business and provide gaming services. In this case, you can make a good income, even though the competition is very high and there are numerous gambling sites today.

Indeed, gambling is not typically considered an investment; however, if we can be patient for a long time and gain the trust of the general public, then we can generate profits by operating a casino. I think it is not right to buy shares in all casinos. It is wise to thoroughly research the company whose shares we will buy and acquire accurate information. Otherwise, we will be vulnerable to fraud, as there are many casinos, and scammers cheat people in various ways.

No matter how long a gambling company operates reliably, since these companies do not share their information publicly and are not well-regulated, people are hesitant to invest in them. If you stick with gambling for a long time, you are more likely to lose than win, as it is not considered a business or investment, so you shouldn’t be patient in gambling in the long run. Many years-old companies are doing business here successfully, but I think they don't need to sell their company shares. Because they are already profitable enough.

Serious efforts into gambling may assure a few wins, but it isn't a guarantee for more profits than loss, hence why I don't consider gambling an investment but a kind of work that requires commitment and attention. The bottom line is that a gamblers funds is always at stake and if there isn't funds, the house hardly gives out bonus or rewards to bet with unless you are an old timer and it won't be much anyways.
So it's just an activity to me that can bring instant luck on a good day, but that day is quite uncertain.

Gamble bankroll investment was only common in the early days of crypto, it has not been common on fiat gambling sites. It is good to know that as crypto adoption increased and as there are more prominent gambling sites, gambling bankroll investment has faded away. It is true that it can benefit investors but crypto gambling sites are no more offering it.

That's because fiat gambling sites have actual investors behind them that comply with regulations.

And to be fair, bankrolling casino in the early days was shady, and required a hell of amount of trust. As they were mostly ran by anonymous developers and exit scams were a constant threat. And when no real investors would put money on something so shady, giving that power to customers made sense. Hell, there weren't even any contracts or ToS we needed to agree.

I don't think that would fly these days.

Is playing the lottery an investment? Would you invest in a real-world investment with a 0.01% chance of profit? I don't think so because you would never want to take such a big risk. But gamblers use their money in gambling without thinking about this. I don't call using money an investment if there is no possibility of getting profit from it. Investment should be one where there is a high chance of profit and at least capital is maintained.

People are not very interested in buying shares in a gambling company, very few people invest here. Basically, gambling companies are illegal in most countries, and if they do not give legal notice, it is illegal. And if you invest here, the possibility of loss is also high, and the possibility of success may be low if you fail to manage it properly. However, if you can invest in good gambling companies, the possibility of profit is high, and they are managed well, which can lead to success at some point. However, if reputable gambling companies discuss selling their shares here, many will try to buy it, and it will be seen that many people will be interested in investing here. We know that if you can buy shares in a good gambling company and invest good money, it is possible to succeed here.

If it is legal, then, I would say, a gambling business is actually a lucrative one. Most gambling companies can survive if the management knows what they are doing and know how they operate. Because my basis was that, during pandemic days, only gambling businesses survived especially those which are online-based. And they were the ones who continued to provide some financial assistance to their government. How many casinos have given their financial aid to their community? However, we can't account all casinos to do well because there are other factors in play why a certain business is doing good in their respective field.

Just look at here - we all know that only few casinos and bookies are really doing well in their business so for me the topmost factors to do good are -
> leadership or management (this is vital because it directs where the site is heading to)
> financial management (of course, because this where their business evolves)
> technical know-how of this industry (you should know the ins and outs) and among others
