I recently participated in a debate on debatepedia and this particular one brought about a huge argument and I was wondering how that argument will play out here and hoping to view your thoughts on this.

Actually, the bone of content here is that does gambling cause an increase in various kinds of related criminal activities? Few examples of the major points raised were;

Quote
Casinos are often associated with criminal activity. Drug dealers and prostitutes operate near casinos – they know that there are a large number of potential clients in the area. Casinos can therefore be devastating to neighborhoods.

Quote
The existence of criminals does not make nearby businesses (including casinos) immoral. It is perverse to punish people who just want to gamble (and not take drugs or use prostitutes) by taking away their chance to do so.

For me personally, I believe immoral activities are certainly based on each individual and it does not have anything to do with gambling. Nevertheless, from some of the further research that I made, I got to understand that, these things mentioned are very much applicable in most casinos; drug dealings, prostitution and even some casinos where the owners are into some shady stuffs. Well, just want to get to know what you guys think about this. Do you think Casino is like a hiding place for perpetrators of crime or casino on its own, ushers in a huge level of immoral activities by default?

Indeed. Crimes are not just about playing gambling because immoral activities are caused by humans not by the game. Maybe with the presence of money associated with the game, people make crime to obtain easy money. Addiction as one of the immoral activities is due to the behavior of the people and not because they are playing gambling. Actually for me, there is no wrong thing on playing gambling as long as you know how to moderately play it just like what I do into the online casino where I am up to wherein I just treat it as my leisure activity enjoying varieties of casino games on it specially when I first did my deposit in which I have received their welcome bonus reward

For me as well there is no wrong on playing gambling. The people involve with it are the real ones. Basically, people are the one who play the game which can create the crime. Gambling must have been treated as a game that we enjoy but due to the greediness which is in nature of humans, crimes are created that turns to be blame into the game. I do like the idea oglf having that opportunity playing casino games conveniently through online and also the welcome reward you were talking about so I got interested to it.

Indeed. There is no wrong in playing gambling as long as you can handle it by yourself by having self control to avoid trouble of creating a crime. You will surely like the convenience in this online casino to have that opportunity of receiving that great bonus once you have done your first deposit on it.
