Other uses of the term

Many risk-return choices are sometimes referred to colloquially as "gambling."[61] Whether this terminology is acceptable is a matter of debate:

Investments are also usually not considered gambling, although some investments can involve significant risk. Examples of investments include stocks, bonds and real estate. Starting a business can also be considered a form of investment. Investments are generally not considered gambling when they meet the following criteria:

Some speculative investment activities are particularly risky, but are sometimes perceived to be different from gambling:

A levant or levanting characterises the act of absconding following the outcome of a bet.[62]

Wagering of money on a game of chance or event with an uncertain outcome

Gambling (also known as betting or gaming) is the wagering of something of value ("the stakes") on a random event with the intent of winning something else of value, where instances of strategy are discounted. Gambling thus requires three elements to be present: consideration (an amount wagered), risk (chance), and a prize.[1] The outcome of the wager is often immediate, such as a single roll of dice, a spin of a roulette wheel, or a horse crossing the finish line, but longer time frames are also common, allowing wagers on the outcome of a future sports contest or even an entire sports season.

The term "gaming"[2] in this context typically refers to instances in which the activity has been specifically permitted by law. The two words are not mutually exclusive; i.e., a "gaming" company offers (legal) "gambling" activities to the public[3] and may be regulated by one of many gaming control boards, for example, the Nevada Gaming Control Board. However, this distinction is not universally observed in the English-speaking world. For instance, in the United Kingdom, the regulator of gambling activities is called the Gambling Commission (not the Gaming Commission).[4] The word gaming is used more frequently since the rise of computer and video games to describe activities that do not necessarily involve wagering, especially online gaming, with the new usage still not having displaced the old usage as the primary definition in common dictionaries. "Gaming" has also been used euphemistically to circumvent laws against "gambling". The media and others have used one term or the other to frame conversations around the subjects, resulting in a shift of perceptions among their audiences.[5]

Gambling is also a major international commercial activity, with the legal gambling market totaling an estimated $335 billion in 2009.[6] In other forms, gambling can be conducted with materials that have a value, but are not real money. For example, players of marbles games might wager marbles, and likewise games of Pogs or Magic: The Gathering can be played with the collectible game pieces (respectively, small discs and trading cards) as stakes, resulting in a meta-game regarding the value of a player's collection of pieces.

Gambling dates back at least to the Paleolithic period, before written history. In Mesopotamia the earliest six-sided dice date to about 3000 BCE. However, they were based on astragali dating back thousands of years earlier. In China, gambling houses were widespread in the first millennium BCE, and betting on fighting animals was common. Lotto games and dominoes (precursors of Pai Gow) appeared in China as early as the 10th century.[7]

Playing cards appeared in the 9th century CE in China. Records trace gambling in Japan back at least as far as the 14th century.[8]

Poker, the most popular U.S. card game associated with gambling, derives from the Persian game As-Nas, dating back to the 17th century.[9]

The first known casino, the Ridotto, started operating in 1638 in Venice, Italy.[10]

Gambling has been a main recreational activity in Great Britain for centuries.[11] Queen Elizabeth I chartered a lottery that was drawn in 1569.[12] Horseracing has been a favorite theme for over three centuries.[13] It has been heavily regulated.[14] Historically much of the opposition comes from Nonconformist Protestants, and from social reformers.[15][16]

Gambling has been part of Singapore's history, though it was strictly controlled by the government for many years. In the mid-20th century, illegal gambling was common. However, with the opening of regulated casinos in 2010, the approach shifted. Today, the government enforces strict laws to promote responsible gambling and prevent illegal activities.[17][18][19][20]

Gambling has been a popular activity in the United States for centuries.[21] It has also been suppressed by law in many areas for almost as long. By the early 20th century, gambling was almost uniformly outlawed throughout the U.S. and thus became a largely illegal activity, helping to spur the growth of the mafia and other criminal organizations.[22][23] The late 20th century saw a softening in attitudes towards gambling and a relaxation of laws against it.

Many jurisdictions, local as well as national, either ban gambling or heavily control it by licensing the vendors. Such regulation generally leads to gambling tourism and illegal gambling in the areas where it is not allowed. The involvement of governments, through regulation and taxation, has led to a close connection between many governments and gambling organizations, where legal gambling provides significant government revenue, such as in Monaco and Macau, China.

There is generally legislation requiring that gambling devices be statistically random, to prevent manufacturers from making some high-payoff results impossible. Since these high payoffs have very low probability, a house bias can quite easily be missed unless the devices are checked carefully.[24]

Most jurisdictions that allow gambling require participants to be above a certain age. In some jurisdictions, the gambling age differs depending on the type of gambling. For example, in many American states one must be over 21 to enter a casino, but may buy a lottery ticket after turning 18.[25]

Because contracts of insurance have many features in common with wagers, insurance contracts are often distinguished in law as agreements in which either party has an interest in the "bet-upon" outcome beyond the specific financial terms; for example, a "bet" with an insurer on whether one's house will burn down is not gambling, but rather insurance, as the homeowner has an obvious interest in the continued existence of the home independent of the purely financial aspects of the "bet" (i.e., the insurance policy). Nonetheless, both insurance and gambling contracts are typically considered aleatory contracts under most legal systems, though they are subject to different types of regulation.

Under common law, particularly English Law (English unjust enrichment), a gambling contract may not give a casino bona fide purchaser status, permitting the recovery of stolen funds in some situations. In Lipkin Gorman v Karpnale Ltd, where a solicitor used stolen funds to gamble at a casino, the House of Lords overruled the High Court's previous verdict, adjudicating that the casino return the stolen funds less those subject to any change of position defence. U.S. Law precedents are somewhat similar.[26] For case law on recovery of gambling losses where the loser had stolen the funds see "Rights of owner of stolen money as against one who won it in gambling transaction from thief".[27]

An interesting question is what happens when the person trying to make recovery is the gambler's spouse, and the money or property lost was either the spouse's, or was community property. This was a minor plot point in a Perry Mason novel, The Case of the Singing Skirt, and it cites an actual case Novo v. Hotel Del Rio.[28]

The Buddha stated gambling as a source of destruction in Singalovada Sutra.

Professions that are seen to violate the precept against theft include working in the gambling industry.[29]

Ancient Hindu poems like the Gambler's Lament and the Mahabharata testify to the existence of gambling among ancient Indians, while highlighting its destructive impact.[where?] The text Arthashastra (c. 4th century BCE) recommends taxation and control of gambling.[30]

Ancient Jewish authorities frowned on gambling, even disqualifying professional gamblers from testifying in court.[31]

The Catholic Church holds the position that there is no moral impediment to gambling, so long as it is fair, all bettors have a reasonable chance of winning, there is no fraud involved, and the parties involved do not have actual knowledge of the outcome of the bet (unless they have disclosed this knowledge),[32] and as long as the following conditions are met: the gambler can afford to lose the bet, and stops when the limit is reached, and the motivation is entertainment and not personal gain leading to the "love of money"[33] or making a living.[34] In general, Catholic bishops have opposed casino gambling on the grounds that it too often tempts people into problem gambling or addiction, and has particularly negative effects on poor people; they sometimes also cite secondary effects such as increases in loan sharking, prostitution, corruption, and general public immorality.[35][36][37] Some parish pastors have also opposed casinos for the additional reason that they would take customers away from church bingo and annual festivals where games such as blackjack, roulette, craps, and poker are used for fundraising.[38] St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that gambling should be especially forbidden where the losing bettor is underage or otherwise not able to consent to the transaction.[39] Gambling has often been seen as having social consequences, as satirized by Balzac. For these social and religious reasons, most legal jurisdictions limit gambling, as advocated by Pascal.[40]

Gambling views among Protestants vary, with some either discouraging or forbidding their members from participation in gambling. Methodists, in accordance with the doctrine of outward holiness, oppose gambling which they believe is a sin that feeds on greed. Other denominations that discourage gambling are the United Methodist Church,[41] the Free Methodist Church,[42] the Evangelical Wesleyan Church,[43] the Salvation Army,[44] and the Church of the Nazarene.[45]

Other Protestants that oppose gambling include Mennonites, Schwarzenau Brethren,[46] Quakers,[47] the Christian Reformed Church in North America,[48] the Church of the Lutheran Confession,[49] the Southern Baptist Convention,[50] the Assemblies of God,[51] and the Seventh-day Adventist Church.[52]

Other churches that oppose gambling include the Jehovah's Witnesses, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,[53] the Iglesia ni Cristo,[54] and the Members Church of God International.

There is a consensus among the ‘Ulema’ (Arabic: عُـلـمـاء, Scholars (of Islam)) that gambling is haraam (Arabic: حَـرام, sinful or forbidden). In assertions made during its prohibition, Muslim jurists describe gambling as being both un-Qur’anic, and as being generally harmful to the Muslim Ummah (Arabic: أُمَّـة, Community). The Arabic terminology for gambling is Maisir.[55]

They ask you about intoxicants and gambling. Say: 'In them both lies grave sin, though some benefit, to mankind. But their sin is more grave than their benefit.'

In parts of the world that implement full Shari‘ah, such as Aceh, punishments for Muslim gamblers can range up to 12 lashes or a one-year prison term and a fine for those who provide a venue for such practises.[56] Some Islamic nations prohibit gambling; most other countries regulate it.[57]

According to the Most Holy Book, paragraph 155, gambling is forbidden.

While almost any game can be played for money, and any game typically played for money can also be played just for fun, some games are generally offered in a casino setting.

Gambling games that take place outside of casinos include bingo (as played in the US and UK), dead pool, lotteries, pull-tab games and scratchcards, and Mahjong.

Other non-casino gambling games include:

*Although coin tossing is not usually played in a casino, it has been known to be an official gambling game in some Australian casinos[59]

Fixed-odds betting and Parimutuel betting frequently occur at many types of sporting events, and political elections. In addition many bookmakers offer fixed odds on a number of non-sports related outcomes, for example the direction and extent of movement of various financial indices, the winner of television competitions such as Big Brother, and election results.[60] Interactive prediction markets also offer trading on these outcomes, with "shares" of results trading on an open market.

One of the most widespread forms of gambling involves betting on horse or greyhound racing. Wagering may take place through parimutuel pools, or bookmakers may take bets personally. Parimutuel wagers pay off at prices determined by support in the wagering pools, while bookmakers pay off either at the odds offered at the time of accepting the bet; or at the median odds offered by track bookmakers at the time the race started.

Betting on team sports has become an important service industry in many countries. Before the advent of the internet, millions of people played the football pools every week in the United Kingdom. In addition to organized sports betting, both legal and illegal, there are many side-betting games played by casual groups of spectators, such as NCAA basketball tournament Bracket Pools, Super Bowl Squares, Fantasy Sports Leagues with monetary entry fees and winnings, and in-person spectator games like Moundball.

Based on Sports Betting, Virtual Sports are fantasy and never played sports events made by software that can be played every time without wondering about external things like weather conditions.

Arbitrage betting is a theoretically risk-free betting system in which every outcome of an event is bet upon so that a known profit will be made by the bettor upon completion of the event regardless of the outcome. Arbitrage betting is a combination of the ancient art of arbitrage trading and gambling, which has been made possible by the large numbers of bookmakers in the marketplace, creating occasional opportunities for arbitrage.

Negative consequences

Problem gambling has multiple symptoms. Gamblers often play again to try to win back money they have lost, and some gamble to relieve feelings of helplessness and anxiety.[63]

In the United Kingdom, the Advertising Standards Authority has censured several betting firms for advertisements disguised as news articles suggesting falsely that a person had cleared debts and paid for medical expenses by gambling online. The firms face possible fines.[64]

A 2020 study of 32 countries found that the greater the amount of gambling activity in a given country, the more volatile that country's stock-market prices are.[65] Legalization of online sports betting was found to decrease household saving, decrease investment with positive expected value and increase financial distress.[66]

Gamblers may exhibit a number of cognitive and motivational biases that distort the perceived odds of events and that influence their preferences for gambles.

Dalam makalah ini akan membahas salah satu contoh Cybercrime yaitu Gambling atau perjudian

2.1.4        Pengertian Gambling atau perjudian

Setiap perilaku manusia pada dasarnya melibatkan pilihan-pilihan untuk merespon ataukah membiarkan suatu situasi berlalu begitu saja. Pada umumnya setiap pilihan yang diambil akan membawa kepada suatu hasil yang hampir pasti atau dapat diramalkan. Namun demikian ada kalanya pilihan tersebut jatuh pada sesuatu yang tidak dapat diramalkan hasilnya. Jika pilihan yang diambil jatuh pada hal yang demikian maka dapat dikatakan bahwa kita telah memberikan peluang untuk kehilangan sesuatu yang berharga. Dengan kata lain kita telah terlibat dalam suatu “perjudian” (gambling).

Judi atau permainan “judi” atau “perjudian” menurut Kamus besar Bahasa Indonesia adalah “Permainan dengan memakai uang sebagai taruhan”. Berjudi ialah mempertaruhkan sejumlah uang atau harta dalam permainan tebakan berdasarkan kebetulan, dengan tujuan mendapatkan sejumlah uang atau harta yang lebih besar dari pada jumlah uang atau harta semula.

Perjudian (gambling) dalam kamus Webster didefinisikan sebagai suatu kegiatan yang melibatkan elemen risiko. Dan risiko didefinisikan sebagai kemungkinan terjadinya suatu kerugian. Sementara Robert Carson & James Butcher (1992) dalam buku Abnormal Psychology and Modern Life, mendefinisikan perjudian sebagai memasang taruhan atas suatu permainan atau kejadian tertentu dengan harapan memperoleh suatu hasil atau keuntungan yang besar. Apa yang dipertaruhkan dapat saja berupa uang, barang berharga, makanan, dan lain-lain yang dianggap memiliki nilai tinggi dalam suatu komunitas.

Definisi serupa dikemukakan oleh Stephen Lea, dkk dalam buku The Individual in the Economy, A Textbook of Economic Psychology (1987). Menurut mereka perjudian tidak lain dan tidak bukan adalah suatu kondisi dimana terdapat potensi kehilangan sesuatu yang berharga atau segala hal yang mengandung risiko. Namun demikian, perbuatan mengambil risiko dalam perilaku berjudi, perlu dibedakan pengertiannya dari perbuatan lain yang juga mengandung risiko. Ketiga unsur dibawah ini mungkin dapat menjadi faktor yang membedakan perilaku berjudi dengan perilaku lain yang juga mengandung risiko:

Perjudian adalah suatu kegiatan sosial yang melibatkan sejumlah uang (atau sesuatu yang berharga) dimana pemenang memperoleh uang dari yang kalah. Risiko yang diambil bergantung pada kejadian-kejadian dimasa mendatang, dengan hasil yang tidak diketahui, dan banyak ditentukan oleh hal-hal yang bersifat kebetulan/keberuntungan. Risiko yang diambil bukanlah suatu yang harus dilakukan; kekalahan/kehilangan dapat dihindari dengan tidak ambil bagian dalam permainan judi.

Dari definisi diatas dapat disimpulkan bahwa perjudian adalah perilaku yang melibatkan adanya risiko kehilangan sesuatu yang berharga dan melibatkan interaksi sosial serta adanya unsur kebebasan untuk memilih apakah akan mengambil risiko kehilangan tersebut atau tidak.

Online Gambling yaitu istilah untuk berjudi menggunakan internet. Internet telah memberikan cara baru untuk perjudian dengan cara online. Situs judi online makin diminati di tanah air. Keleluasaan menjalankan aktivitas dan transaksi judi jadi pemicunya.

Sejarah online gambling

Ada 3 waktu penting perkembangan online gambling:

Pada tahun 1994 negara Antigua dan Barbuda di Karibia meloloskan undang-undang kebebasan berdagang dan mengolah, yang kemudian membuat perizinan kepada organisasi-organisasi untuk membangun membuka kasino online menjadi mudah. Sebelum kasino online, Sebelum kasino online, perangkat lunak perjudian berfungsi penuh pertama dikembangkan oleh Microgaming, Isle perusahaan perangkat lunak berbasis Man.

Other types of betting

One can also bet with another person that a statement is true or false, or that a specified event will happen (a "back bet") or will not happen (a "lay bet") within a specified time. This occurs in particular when two people have opposing but strongly held views on truth or events. Not only do the parties hope to gain from the bet, they place the bet also to demonstrate their certainty about the issue. Some means of determining the issue at stake must exist. Sometimes the amount bet remains nominal, demonstrating the outcome as one of principle rather than of financial importance.

Betting exchanges allow consumers to both back and lay at odds of their choice. Similar in some ways to a stock exchange, a bettor may want to back a horse (hoping it will win) or lay a horse (hoping it will lose, effectively acting as bookmaker).

Spread betting allows gamblers to wager on the outcome of an event where the pay-off is based on the accuracy of the wager, rather than a simple "win or lose" outcome. For example, a wager can be based on the when a point is scored in the game in minutes and each minute away from the prediction increases or reduces the payout.

Many betting systems have been created in an attempt to "beat the house" but no system can make a mathematically unprofitable bet in terms of expected value profitable over time. Widely used systems include:
