Addiction to gambling is link to a range of serious personal and social harm such as those things I mentioned. These effects can be devastating to the individual as well as their friends, family, workplaces and community.

So far as gambling is being regulated by the government and operators are paying taxes, just like any other normal businesses gambling can't be stopped or restricted because it is a form of business even though the possibility of winning is lesser but gambling is a game of choice as no one is being forced into gambling so anyone who cannot take responsibility of their gambling habits is either immature or lack the sense of belonging to know between how they can manage their gambling lifestyle and how not to get too addicted to gambling which leads to some emotional and psychological damages to human behaviour so before anyone enters into gambling they should be able to have self control and not allow the gambling to control them.

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not
So I don't really blame the people who sees gambling as a bad thing to the society, meanwhile If the younger ones take of the steps of being addicted don't you think they'll experience all this as well. So gambling it's bad to the society nevertheless it's also helping in the other hands, to ones which are benefiting and earning from it.

It's like in physics, the energy never disappears it just changes form and it's the same with the money. Whether you spend money in a casino, waste it on netflix subscriptions, get a plastic surgery, or a new car, the money changes hands, moves around.

You could say that casinos are bad, but they pay taxes, they help circulate money, they move wealth from one person to the other.

gambling is entertainment and this is the reason why quite a lot of developed countries have legalized gambling, but the negative effect that can result when gambling too often is addiction, so for those who cannot manage their emotions, gambling is a nightmare trap, but for those who really can manage their emotions and manage their money well, gambling is the best entertainment that can really relieve fatigue, especially when you get the jackpot, so gambling is bad for only a few groups of people.

Do you really believe that the gambling addict who wastes money every single day on a slot machine would spend time with his family if there was no casino? He's doing that to escape the family life, hios job and reality. Many of these people would become drug addicts or alcoholics. That's how I see it.

You can';t make the world better by removing a casino because people will find other ways to gamble.

You are right. Games are dangerous for those who have problems with self-control, which is why many sites have warnings that games can be addictive or have consequences. But if the industry only caused trouble, it would have been closed long ago and this is a fact.At the moment, the overwhelming majority are not experiencing problems, which means that the cases are not widespread, as indicated by the author in the initial post.

The consequences of irresponsible gambling is very high and it can make the addict look unkept like someone insane. This is why as a gambler, you should be able to have prevention measures on addiction in order to gamble happily and enjoy the fun in gambling. I agree with every points that you highlighted, but the problems lies on the people who see gambling as a means of making profit, and they will go at extra miles to make sure that they continue gambling even though they are running at big loss. Such people needs to quit gambling and go on a long break, if not they are doing more harm to themselves. If most gamblers can key into the rules of gambling and only gamble for fun, we will have less gambling related problems in the society.

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

Gambling itself is not a bad thing to the society - as there are those that are engaged in gambling and yet still help in contributing values to society. The only time it becomes worrisome is when bad gambling habits are being used.

In your lists of things you mentioned not a of them are true for a gambler that knows what he or she is doing - you will never see a decent gambler that would be in debt because of gambling - they know where to draw the line and when to continue. All those attributes you mentioned are only associated with those that have managed to develop a bad gambling habit.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

If you can control your gambling habit and are sure to keep it so that you do not become addicted, gambling can be a hobby for you. The people who should be careful of making gambling a hobby are those that understand themselves and know that getting addicted to habits can be easy for them.

Gambling is not bad for the society, there just need to be a lot of programs to educate people on responsible gambling.

Putting restriction on gambling or gambling ban is just nothing more than making people not to have freedom. What the government should look after is for people not to harm others. We are in the world that people are exposed to gambling, they should educate themselves on how to make fun and entertainment from gambling and not turn it to a way of looking for income.

The story of how it destroys people's lives is very high compared to the positive one.

Addiction is one of the things that makes it really bad. If every gambler is about to manage their gambling habit and set a target for each day and never exceed it, then the negativity won't be so much.

As much as there are losses, there are also wins, which are less than the losses.

Study your ground and gamble within your limit, not how others are going harder on it.
 

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

So with all this I think if they put an restrictions on gambling it's not a bad idea at all, first why is gambling a problem?

Gambling can stimulate the brain's rewards system much like drugs or alcohol can, leading to addiction. If you have a problem with compulsive gambling, you may continually chase bets that lead to losses, use up savings and create debt.

You may hide your behavior and even turn to theft or fraud to support your addiction. So with my conclusion and my observation towards this gambling is really cousin harm to the life of those ones who are addicted to it most their families.

 Secondly what are the social problem caused by gambling?
(1) Depression and suicide
(2) bankruptcy, family-break up
(3) domestic abuse
(4) assault, fraud
(5) theft, and even homeless
Addiction to gambling is link to a range of serious personal and social harm such as those things I mentioned. These effects can be devastating to the individual as well as their friends, family, workplaces and community.

This are the harms and with all this are the reasons why, they see people who gambles as a distraction towards the society and the most people who are into all this are the addicted ones. So how is gambling harmful to the society, ills associate with problem gamblers are widespread and often go beyond and addition to gambling.

People who gambles can be at risk of this following categories of harm.
(1) Financial harms
(2) Erosion of savings
(3) Filling for bankruptcy
(4) Relationship conflicts
(5) Neglect of relationship with significant other
(6) Neglect of relationship with children
(7) Extend family and friends
(8) Social isolation
(9) Emotional or psychological distress

So I don't really blame the people who sees gambling as a bad thing to the society, meanwhile If the younger ones take of the steps of being addicted don't you think they'll experience all this as well. So gambling it's bad to the society nevertheless it's also helping in the other hands, to ones which are benefiting and earning from it.

What is the mindset of a gambler? On my opinion pathological gamblers play the cope with a life stresses. Near-misses and personal choice give some gamblers a sense of control, winning money. Others believe they can beat the casino and win real money.

So the mindset are those things that attract harm to them and the society because they are focused on the money, and that's why I said it's also helping some people in other hands and it's also killing some people right now in the society. Behavior also involves that makes it look bad to the society, while trying to get back lost money by gambling more( chasing losses) lying to family members or other to hide the extent of your gambling.

Risking or losing important relationships, a job, or school or work opportunities because of gambling. Asking others to bail you out of financial trouble cause you have gambled money away.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

gambling is entertainment and this is the reason why quite a lot of developed countries have legalized gambling, but the negative effect that can result when gambling too often is addiction, so for those who cannot manage their emotions, gambling is a nightmare trap, but for those who really can manage their emotions and manage their money well, gambling is the best entertainment that can really relieve fatigue, especially when you get the jackpot, so gambling is bad for only a few groups of people.

I have never seen a society where gambling is listed among the things harming the society. Gambling is an age-long business that have experience various transformations to make it more accessible and easier to win. There is risk in gambling just like it is with every other business, so why will gambling be bad to the society?

I know that some people do so many bad things in order to gamble or exhibit some bad character due to negative experience in gambling such as losses, those are the people called gambling addicts. Gambling create addicts that also send bad signal about gambling but the truth is that addicts are in minority. This does not warrant conclusion that gambling affect the society bad

If I give my own opinion about this then gambling will not bad thing until the people makes it bad by themselves like use gambling instead of entertainment they play it for their greed to earn money to get quick rich and as well as some addicted people's make is bad in society.

Not totally, but it is bad for those who are not able to manage their gambling behavior.
But of course, the government should also impose strict restrictions to avoid those issues OP. Because if we think it is bad in general, the government doesn't allow them to operate but they are which means it is still acceptable. What went wrong was the gambling approach and the lack of rule implementation. Gambling owners don't mind the welfare of the people but instead, they took advantage of the situation.
Well, this is business plus corrupt government officials were too blind not to see what really happened.

This is why we do have those regulations on which the government is setting it up specially into these kind of businesses or platforms on which they would really be needing up to follow.
Gambling businesses arent that bad.Why? You arent that forced to play or go into their vicinity and play yourself which it is really just that absurd on having that kind of thinking.
Whats the wrong thing on here is on what people are really that trying to do on which they do mess up their lives because of the wrong decisions they are making. We do know that human beings are really that
loving on pointing out their fingers and blaming others or even the government on what happened into their lives without even trying to look on what are the things that they have done.

Government would really be seeing these business to be a good source of revenue or taxes considering on how they do generate big in this regard. They would really be continuing
on operating because they do know that they could really be able to get that kind of benefit on which this is something that in connects about economical approach.
This is where people will really be that needing to be careful on what are the things that they are dealing with and not really just that putting up all the blame just because they had messed up their lives.

I think there will always be people who say things that are politically correct but never follows it. I can resort to gambling as a means to earn something on the side or I could treat it as a hobby. My personal take on this is that you shouldn't tell people what to do with their money since you don't know how they handle it. People can gamble if they want to as long as they are responsible.

Putting restriction on gambling or gambling ban is just nothing more than making people not to have freedom. What the government should look after is for people not to harm others. We are in the world that people are exposed to gambling, they should educate themselves on how to make fun and entertainment from gambling and not turn it to a way of looking for income.

Gambling can be bad for society if those people can't controls themselves when they playing gambling. If they don't have self controls and playing gambling excessively, they will soon becomes addicted to gambling and that will ruins their lives. That can also impacts their relationships between other people and if they don't realizes about the bad effect, other people will stay away from them and will not communicates with them too.

When they can control themselves when playing gambling, there's nothing to worry because they will knows that playing gambling is just for fun and no needs too seriously. They will playing gambling moderately with some money and not too aggressively or even not chasing the wins because they knows that will be difficult and that can makes them lose much money. Those society will not playing gambling too often because they knows about the risks and consequences of playing gambling.

I don't agree that you should not take it as a hobby but I agree that you don't take gambling as a means to make a living, it's a big illusion if you think that you can make money from gambling because the uncertainty is very high but you will not encounter any issues like you've mentioned in your post if you take it as a hobby and as a hobby you allocate money for you gambling activity,

The gambling platforms have done and keep doing their share of promoting their platform as a platform of entertainment, so it's up to the gambler how they discipline and how they set their mindset when playing in casinos.

A lot of folks think it's just harmless fun, but the reality is, it messes with your brain chemistry. Addiction doesn't happen overnight, it's a slow burn. What starts as a good time can turn into something you can't control. And when that happens, it's not just the gambler who suffers. Relationships fall apart, families get strained, trust erodes. It's a whole domino effect. And let's not forget the financial side of things. Gambling addiction doesn't just empty wallets, it sucks money out of the economy. It's resources that could be going towards something productive, just getting flushed away

People like this are what cause gambling to become bad in society because basically when we come to gamble not for fun but to earn a living then this is what makes the person an irresponsible gambler so they will do anything whether it is theft or other crimes to get money for gambling, but this will not happen if we assume that gambling is only for entertainment, for example, like rich people who gamble, they are very responsible in gambling because it is only to please themselves.

From an entertainment perspective and a money perspective, gambling shows two clear extremes in what it offers, one part will be more about helping someone relieve themselves, the other will detain and mentally torture someone. With these two extremes, we will see that society is still balanced, many people will be more fully entertained with their money, but in return there will be those who donate their money to others, the cash flow remains stable and is not lost in society, gambling is not bad for society, it's just that society doesn't understand its principles

The consequences of irresponsible gambling is very high and it can make the addict look unkept like someone insane. This is why as a gambler, you should be able to have prevention measures on addiction in order to gamble happily and enjoy the fun in gambling.

Secondly what are the social problem caused by gambling?
(1) Depression and suicide
(2) bankruptcy, family-break up
(3) domestic abuse
(4) assault, fraud
(5) theft, and even homeless

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

So gambling it's bad to the society nevertheless it's also helping in the other hands, to ones which are benefiting and earning from it.

it's not because of gambling, but rather because of irresponsible gambling. because if these things were caused by gambling, then we would see that the crime rate in las vegas, macau, or other gambling areas would be high, but in reality this is not the case, because it only happens to a few individuals who gamble without limits and the rules that make them become like that.

because actually gambling will not have a very significant effect on society, as long as the gambler can gamble more responsibly and understand the regulations set by the government regarding gambling.

OP, gambling has never been the issue per se but the people who are gambling themselves. Just think of gambling as a neutral activity where people can decide on what to do and even adjust if need be. Now, if someone is misbehaving in such an activity due to his irresponsible acts or the person is being controlled by gambling through addiction, who is to blame here? The person of course!

We should not love anything too much or let it blind/control us, and neither should we be desperate about gambling as the love of money will always cloud our right judgment towards it and this will never lead us to somewhere good. Gambling is so risky, so we should take it for what it is, and this is more reason why we should gamble with care to guard against the possible issues attached to it.

Cautious gamblers will always be mindful of whatever they do so that they do not allow it to waste too much of their resources, not to talk of getting addicted to it. For me, gambling is absolved of most fault here as it is not by force we gamble, we should only gamble when we are fit for it, and our right to gambling lies solely in our hands and nobody's hands.

The gambling industry just offers entertainment and satisfaction to the players now it's up to the players if they get addicted in playing and lose a lot of money because that's how gambling works, the casino offers a chance of winnings too but a small percentage of players of course its their business. In terms of society, they are acting one of the businesses so they need to pay taxes too and because of the number of earnings they have the larger the tax they need to pay and what most taxes will go of course to the development of the community.

You're very spot on with your opinion on the subject matter. The misconception about gambling by so many people is because of the fact that the gamblers around them are always the addicted gamblers who does end up in ruining themselves with their gambling engagements. Gambling is never bad to the society because I've actually seen a lot of gamblers who through gambling positively changed their financial status quo but what's very bad to the society is getting addicted to gambling. It's one of things that can happen to any individual and should be avoided by all means. If a gambler can gamble responsibly, gambling isn't a bad engagement but when a gambler becomes addicted to gambling, the interpretation of gambling to everyone around him becomes a bad one.

The problem is that many people have too high expectations when it comes to gambling, and while chasing those expectations, they slowly fall into a hole that is difficult to get out of. Education is important, but most of us learn things the hard way...

I think there will always be people who say things that are politically correct but never follows it. I can resort to gambling as a means to earn something on the side or I could treat it as a hobby.

Gambling should not really be treated as your way to make money because it is risky and gaining is not guaranteed. Many gamblers tried this but failed and some of them became addicted for not being able to accept the fact. Resulting for them to keep on playing to chase back their losses or to achieve their goal of winning huge.

However, when it comes to hobby, I think it's fine as long as you're playing with discipline using the money that you can afford to lose and you don't spend a long hours just to play. Otherwise, better to find other activity that you can enjoy without spending much money.

gambling is entertainment and this is the reason why quite a lot of developed countries have legalized gambling, but the negative effect that can result when gambling too often is addiction, so for those who cannot manage their emotions, gambling is a nightmare trap, but for those who really can manage their emotions and manage their money well, gambling is the best entertainment that can really relieve fatigue, especially when you get the jackpot, so gambling is bad for only a few groups of people.

Gambling is not bad, sometimes we mistake what’s bad just because people misuse and gamble for lack of funds . Gambling addiction is just the problem and if anyone can resist gambling addiction then what’s really bad associated with gambling, the most common stories I hear about gambling addict and such stories is so annoying, the story of people committing suicide and secondly broken marriages just because they could not gamble responsibly. Well restricting gambling for the sake of others who cannot control their emotions and resist being an addict is not right, I believe every casino have different features and a special restriction for such users only.

People are just only being greedy this is what makes gambling looks as if it is not good for the society . Gambling is a game of fun and for entertainment but people have turned it into something else that they they think money can be gotten from it so quick . The problem of people about gambling is that they have wrong mindset about gambling which can make one play gambling so bad that will have bad effect like to addicted . Gambling is not a bad game but people makes it to be bad because of their greed and not having proper understanding about gambling. Gambling is always interesting when it is played with a better understanding.

But there are some countries that their government ban gambling. You can see most Muslim countries that forbids gambling. If OP sees gambling as bad, he can just move to any of the countries that gambling is banned if possible and if people should stop gambling is what he wants. Although no country can totally be able to ban gambling but he will feel better in such countries. As for countries that accept gambling, he should not expect any ban at all because government like tax and they are generating enough money through tax from gambling.

Yes, I agree with you, gambling can have different disadvantages and bad effects on an individual if the person decides to become a compulsive or addicted gambler.  I have been gambling for years now, at some point i know I exhibited some symptoms of gambling addiction but I just quickly realized myself and made a U turn, if I had allow my self to be ruled by my gambling urge, I probably would have become too bad by now and might not be able to even own any business by now but I sat myself down and adviced myself towards the kind of reckless behavior I was emulating as a gambler in the years back.

I know that gambling is so addictive but yet it's the decision  of the gambler to get addicted. Addiction is process and it doesn't just happen suddenly without the gambling being aware, some people neglect those symptoms and keep going, being ignorant of their inner voice and also the advice of others and that's why I said it's the decision of a gambler to get addicted or not.

@OP,  why will a gambler allow themselves to be addicted?

Despite the disadvantages with gambling, it also have different advantages too. Casinos pay tax to the government and the tax is used to develop the country, there are other advantages too.

OP, I don't think there are any new negative effects beyond the social and family negative effects of gambling that you mentioned. When a gambler spends time gambling, he is neglecting his responsibilities as a father to his children, neglecting his responsibilities as a family guardian, neglecting his responsibilities to his wife as a husband. If a gambler bets on gambling and loses in that case, the family will lose its fortune and there is a possibility of bankruptcy. By doing this, a gambler will destroy the good family relations and there will be a possibility of bad activities like conflict and conflict among the family members. Moreover, people do not want to associate with the family of a gambling addict, rather people always avoid that family. Moreover, if there are small children in the family of a little gambler, then those children will slowly see this activity of the guardians and create interest in gambling in themselves and later on their academic career will have a negative impact.

Gambling makes people very greedy and addicted to it, people waste a lot of things like money, wealth and their valuable time. for this it is a bad thing in the eyes of the society. People who gamble are looked down upon by the society. Gambling is really a good place of entertainment and a lot of entertainment is available from it but it gives a lot of pain to our mentality due to heavy loss due to its addiction. and that is why it is called bad addiction and society does not support it

why will a gambler allow themselves to be addicted? First it wasn't their intention to get addicted but along side they get along with it and then they take it like a hobby to them. But nevertheless when chasing for the losses it's makes you more addictive you'll never notice it not until you find yourself restless when you don't stake a game a day, it's not their decision to get addicted, okay let me give an example! ( It's like someone into drugs habits you don't really know when the drugs are running all over your system, the first time you took it. It'll be as if you really want it but after that day you're going to need more of it, cause you like the vibe that the drugs gave to you when you're on it. Same like gambling you don't really know how you get addicted to it if only someone told you that you're gambling too much. That's for my own opinion. What do you think?

Well, I think Gambling was brought to the world as a type of game that requires two or more people to come together and go into wagering of an amount, take risks or chances and to win a prize thereafter. But it also involves a consensus agreement between both parties going into it to gamble. Gambling is ordinarily an entertaining game that people were playing for past time sake until it became a behaviorial addiction to many that they cannot afford to leave.

gambling is not something that is centralized at least you can gamble with your system so based on that any country that restrict her people not to participate in gambling that country cannot hold any water because you can participate in gambling through internet not something that you will do offline any longer you can decide to participate in gambling offline and also online

Indeed! The OP's list is not new but maybe some people need a gentle reminder to what effect gambling can affect their lives. But if you are just an occasional gambler and bet from time to time, you won't have issues in the list. You will enjoy more of this activity and have fun, instead of treating this as a problem.

gambling is entertainment I will agree with you based on their own understanding but a lot of people who is into gambling why they are into gambling it is because they really need money and there are not into gambling in order to entertain themselves but only to make a daily bread that is why you see many people always be anxious of gambling and also be addicted in gambling it is because they did not see a gambling as a part of entertainment but they see gambling as a process of making money

Citizens in countries where gambling activities are banned can look out for other means to pick up with gambling activities. Although most countries do it for the best of their citizens. Gambling yields lots of funds to any country's economy but those who don't want it are actually interested on the mental health of their citizens. Looking at the disadvantages of gambling to players it's fine to say that it affects the society in both ways; good and bad.

Gambling is not just wrong it also provides happiness to people and builds skills for some gamblers. However, only a few people tend to benefits from the advantages gambling has to offer to the society. The rest who seek for profits mostly get into trouble. While many other people may think of gambling being a bad activity it's good to remind us that such perspectives have led the society to what it is today as regards to gambling. If people were told of the good aspects of gambling they wouldn't fall prey to the bad sides of the game.

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

no one is condemning gambling or saying gambling is bad, those country that banned gambling they've noticed the effects on it and they don't want their citizens to get into those effects. That's the love for their people we all know gambling is also helping the government in other hand but it's also killing the people who are addicted to it as well, so those country that restricted gambling in their country have seen the addicted ones dying and going insane or running mentally unstable.

Indeed, the problem is with the people, or the gamblers. Many countries have made illegal gambling regulations and banned them in those countries because they already have data and evidence regarding gambling activities which are very detrimental to society and have negative effects. because it is true that the people are not ready for all that, who can only hope and dream of getting rich from gambling, which indeed indicates various crimes due to gambling activities.

You are absolutely right, the OP should be teaching about irresponsible gambling and it's effect to the society, maybe that would've been the perfect topic for this thread cause all those effects are things that happens to most irresponsible gamblers and not every gambler at large. Gambling is not a bad idea,  infact one of it's aim is for fun and entertainment but most individuals fail to understand, they think I could be an opportunity to make a fortune.

 And then you'll see such people saying gambling is bad an harmful to the society when they fail to gamble responsibly. In the world of gambling self controls matters it helps one from becoming addicted and therefore exposing themselves from suffering the consequences of irresponsible gambling, when you've got self control you'll remember that winning the house always is not guaranteed and avoid chasing losses when you lose, also you'll avoid greed and spending recklessly on it.

Gambling is bad In the society and has cause somany misfortunes and setbacks from different People around the world. All what you just explained are the effect of gambling which has kept the youth stagnant in life but I believe the only way forward is that the youth should have a control of their emotion because the inability to controls there inermost desire that tells you that you must win, will make you chase after loses.

But on the other hand, gambling is also fun place and can also provide entertainment and activities to eliminate boredom, even though there are many risks and bad impacts that every gambler has to face, it just that I think the good and bad and the risks or consequences of gambling will be depending on how each gambler behaves.

We can’t blame them since most of the casino promise the potential to unlock massive wealth when you hit the jackpot right?
...

Not only high expectation is the main concern but rather people using gambling as short cut to success by aiming for hutting the jackpot using the money that they got even though they are already over spending for a mere chance to hit it.

Lottery is the best example here. People keeps placing bet on lottery even though the chance of winning is enough for them to completely don’t win for the rest of their life due to it’s very low chance.

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

So with all this I think if they put an restrictions on gambling it's not a bad idea at all, first why is gambling a problem?

Gambling can stimulate the brain's rewards system much like drugs or alcohol can, leading to addiction. If you have a problem with compulsive gambling, you may continually chase bets that lead to losses, use up savings and create debt.

You may hide your behavior and even turn to theft or fraud to support your addiction. So with my conclusion and my observation towards this gambling is really cousin harm to the life of those ones who are addicted to it most their families.

 Secondly what are the social problem caused by gambling?
(1) Depression and suicide
(2) bankruptcy, family-break up
(3) domestic abuse
(4) assault, fraud
(5) theft, and even homeless
Addiction to gambling is link to a range of serious personal and social harm such as those things I mentioned. These effects can be devastating to the individual as well as their friends, family, workplaces and community.

This are the harms and with all this are the reasons why, they see people who gambles as a distraction towards the society and the most people who are into all this are the addicted ones. So how is gambling harmful to the society, ills associate with problem gamblers are widespread and often go beyond and addition to gambling.

People who gambles can be at risk of this following categories of harm.
(1) Financial harms
(2) Erosion of savings
(3) Filling for bankruptcy
(4) Relationship conflicts
(5) Neglect of relationship with significant other
(6) Neglect of relationship with children
(7) Extend family and friends
(8) Social isolation
(9) Emotional or psychological distress

So I don't really blame the people who sees gambling as a bad thing to the society, meanwhile If the younger ones take of the steps of being addicted don't you think they'll experience all this as well. So gambling it's bad to the society nevertheless it's also helping in the other hands, to ones which are benefiting and earning from it.

What is the mindset of a gambler? On my opinion pathological gamblers play the cope with a life stresses. Near-misses and personal choice give some gamblers a sense of control, winning money. Others believe they can beat the casino and win real money.

So the mindset are those things that attract harm to them and the society because they are focused on the money, and that's why I said it's also helping some people in other hands and it's also killing some people right now in the society. Behavior also involves that makes it look bad to the society, while trying to get back lost money by gambling more( chasing losses) lying to family members or other to hide the extent of your gambling.

Risking or losing important relationships, a job, or school or work opportunities because of gambling. Asking others to bail you out of financial trouble cause you have gambled money away.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

Well, we can't blame anyone... Everyone is free to believe what they want and do as they see fit, but casinos are not the ones who are giving away massive wealth just like that. You said it yourself, casinos promise the potential to get rich quickly... but that potential comes with conditions and huge risks. I guess it's exactly what we learn the hard way, we can't trust in gambling so much to risk everything we have, or even worse to borrow money to pursue a dream of getting rich by gambling.

We all learn at some point what gambling is, but that learning comes at a cost. But anyway, I don't think we can say that gambling is bad for society, it can be bad like many other things around if people get into it with high expectations and without proper knowledge.

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

Then, literally speaking, it is really bad, because this is what has formed in the minds of the majority of people that gambling is bad because there are many ruined lives and suicides
due to gambling addiction. But the truth is that it is up to the gambler how he handled it because if it is wrong, the outcome will be really bad, but if it is right, for sure it might have helped him.

why will a gambler allow themselves to be addicted? First it wasn't their intention to get addicted but along side they get along with it and then they take it like a hobby to them. But nevertheless when chasing for the losses it's makes you more addictive you'll never notice it not until you find yourself restless when you don't stake a game a day, it's not their decision to get addicted, okay let me give an example! ( It's like someone into drugs habits you don't really know when the drugs are running all over your system, the first time you took it. It'll be as if you really want it but after that day you're going to need more of it, cause you like the vibe that the drugs gave to you when you're on it. Same like gambling you don't really know how you get addicted to it if only someone told you that you're gambling too much. That's for my own opinion. What do you think?

If you read correctly the other things I said in my first comment, I made it Clare that being addicted to gambling is a decision taken by the gambler which I would not still tell you a different thing. Gambling addiction doesn't happen suddenly, it's a process which gradually start and the gambler needs to be ignorant about the change in their gambling habit before they can become addicted but if you tackle your gambling lifestyle, their is no how you can become addicted. Since gambling addiction is a process, it still requires the consciousness and decision of the gambler to approve of being addicted of not.

Gambling is bad for those who cannot control their finances, control their ambitions, control their time, control their personality and most importantly control their mindset, for people who cannot do that, no matter how good gambling will be very bad for people who do not have that.

Why? yes because gambling is very sensitive to emotions and finances, it will have a very bad impact on a person's psychological side which makes a person able to behave impulsively to kill himself, and people who consider gambling as a place to make money or a living or even a hobby, it is not a good thing, and people who survive gambling are people who must be very good at controlling themselves from any reference that gambling gives us.

The thing is that many people just feel they can get huge profits since that's the picture the whole business but the undeniable truth is that  business owner that have casino are using it as business means and in order for them to get rich you probably need to be on the losing side so that they can get their money and believe me it's one of the most profitable businesses out there in the economic world the only disadvantage it has for them is that to start up a casino requires huge amount of cash if not many would have used it the alternative way.

Everything you have said it's true for people who cannot manage their gambling habbits. There are those who gambles responsible and they haven't been caught up with any of those things you have just mentioned. Gambling can't be as bad as many non gamblers paints it to be, gambling helps I reducing depression for responsible gamblers. For me the reason why the government won't ban gambling is that gambling is a part of life and it's benefits outweight the disadvantages and in ever 10 gamblers, you will find about 2 addicted gamblers, so the number of responsible gamblers is more than that of addicted gamblers. So we can't take the activities of few individuals and put to an end what's benefiting millions of people worldwide.

Is gambling bad to the society? I dont know maybe some people are considering gambling bad to society but there are also people consider gambling has benefit tho we dont talk about religion here some country make gambling legal and have tax on it and the money from gambling tax can be use for other good purpose and can also be use to help the society and this is just my opinion

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

Yes, gambling is bad to the society if the gambler is poor and keep creating new problem to other people.

Gambling isn't bad to the society if the gambler is rich and he like to help other people by giving free money, people will think he's like a God and gambling isn't a problem at all.

Can you see the difference? I believe you can. ;)

Gambling certainly has some downsides and some upsides, especially when it comes to family matters, considering the financial impact gambling can have on a family. Gamblers in countries that are poor countries lose their gambling bets, bankrupt their families and cause family turmoil as well as abuse of their wives to pay off their gambling money.
However, in some countries, the government approves gambling and casino sites by imposing high taxes, but in most countries, they do not legalize gambling because they imagine the terrible side of gambling. Gambling is largely responsible for the degeneration of a country's youth, so considering the overall situation of a country, one has to be in a dilemma about the legality of gambling.

You may hide your behavior and even turn to theft or fraud to support your addiction. So with my conclusion and my observation towards this gambling is really cousin harm to the life of those ones who are addicted to it most their families.

Well, a lot of things could happen if society encounters gambling at an early age then it could seep into the parts of relationships, health, social interactions, and just pure mayhem just because of the addictions. We all know that it's addictive and could lead to deceit like what the other people have said.

As members of society, we all know the overall effects but it's up to the person whether he will have control.

I don't agree to compare with your opinion even though some gamblers win the jackpot which can make them rich, but gambling wins are due to luck and only luck. We are back to discussing the topic, the bad effects of gambling are very real and we need to provide solutions to deal with addicted gamblers to get out of the wrong way of gambling, we have to apply rules, especially setting fund limits to avoid losses from gambling because losses in gambling can affect depression and mental health. Generally the negative impact of gambling due to mismanagement of finances exceeding the capacity to use funds for gambling has been suggested, some gamblers give the opinion of using 3-5% of monthly income for gambling to avoid high losses from betting.

Gambling is never viewed favorably in society. Moreover, if someone is asked about the benefits of gambling, he will not find it, but when he is asked to find out the negative aspects, he will easily point out those points. We know the consequences of gambling addiction are bad. But in spite of knowing the fact few people conduct gambling aggressively there and at some point they become poison in the eyes of the society. I'm gambling myself, setting my limits is my own responsibility, but I can't blame anyone else for my mistakes. I have to bear the responsibility of losing my money beyond what I am willing to lose on the gambling platform.

As members of society, we all know the overall effects but it's up to the person whether he will have control.

Which means that it's not the gambling that's causing something bad to a person but rather it's the society where that person grew up in that is at fault, if that's the implied meaning here then I do agree because if you grew up in a society that values money even more than the individual then it's bound to happen that people would resort to something that would care about them even if it's fake and temporary and something that will promise them a light at the end of the tunnel, people will go to that thing and use it, that's why addiction is still a prevalent things, it's never going to be different if we continue to conform and follow what the society that we're living in tries to shape us into.

Yes, gambling is bad to the society if the gambler is poor and keep creating new problem to other people.

Gambling isn't bad to the society if the gambler is rich and he like to help other people by giving free money, people will think he's like a God and gambling isn't a problem at all.

Can you see the difference? I believe you can. ;)

And in fact no one gets rich from gambling activities, maybe some people can get a big win from gambling so they can change their lives for the better but that's usually not long and then become poor again after getting big money because they will definitely risk their money back gambling to get the same win in the end not finding it back and instead chasing defeat.

There is nothing to blame, but I think what can be blamed is the gamblers themselves who easily believe that they will get a big profit, logically who is the person who will give money for nothing by only spending small money then can get big money, of course not, expectations will destroy a person, so gambling says its promotion, but we don't know how likely we get it.

It has its good and bad sides so we can’t say if it is good or bad to the society. Unless in a particular society, gambler loose a lot of money, then we can say it can indirectly affect the society. Gambling takes some people out of poverty. There are a few people who are skilled with analysis and they get it right many times, in that case it is useful and is helpful to the society.

You are only concentrating on the negative aspects of gambling, gambling is a massive industry all over the world that generates huge profits, not only that, due to the sin taxes, governments keep most of those profits for themselves without the need to engage on the business at all.

Casinos also generate a lot of jobs and create a great deal of economic activity, especially since the pandemic began, so while gambling can indeed cause some people to lose way more money than what they can afford, the benefits it bring to society are not small at all.

Boeing argument at least to me. Because of you take ANYTHING (literally) you can't find some really "good" for humans. everything has some negative aspects and cannot be something "perfect".
I think that probably Is Just matter of how you use something. A knife can help to cook and feed your family... But It can also used to make violence or kill people...

lol so what are you trying to say? I assume English is not your first language, but I'm having a hard time what you're trying to get at here.  Gambling can absolutely just be a hobby that doesn't lead to anything other than simple fun.  Just like drinking alcohol for me.  I do it just so often that I find it nothing more than a bit of fun.  I'm safe when I do it and I never let it get me in to any trouble.  Why can't gambling be the same? I don't really get what you're saying..

Yes, gambling is bad to the society if the gambler is poor and keep creating new problem to other people.

Gambling isn't bad to the society if the gambler is rich and he like to help other people by giving free money, people will think he's like a God and gambling isn't a problem at all.

In fact the professionals take gambling as fun and the non-professionals take it as an addiction and choose it as their main source of income. Gambling and alcohol may be normal to you, but in countries where gambling and alcohol consumption are outlawed, they are seen as a major cause of social and state degradation. Since gambling and alcohol are banned in public, the people of these countries where two things are religiously forbidden will never be able to accept it with an independent mind.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

In fact the professionals take gambling as fun and the non-professionals take it as an addiction and choose it as their main source of income.

Everything is absolutely correct. And it seems to me that gambling is an activity mainly for single people. After people find a couple or start a family, they don't have much free time. They have responsible responsibilities, which they adhere to without fail. Also, in the family, one of the spouses always supports the other, which is why gambling addiction does not have such a great chance for someone who is a gambler in the family. It will be like being protected. And that's why I think that lonely people need to be more careful, because they are left only to themselves.

Same thoughts as mine, I also believe that gambling is much better to do by a single person because once a person has their own family, It seems that it will be difficult for him to manage the time and money that he has, especially if a person only earns the right amount, there is nothing wrong if a person with a family gambles as long as he can sustain the needs of his family and he does not neglected them.

Both of your points are correct and I'd like to add a little more agreement with you. As you have brought up the issue through gambling of rich and poor but I will only highlight an age based ill effect of gambling. In my country generally teenagers below 18 years of age and school college students are showing more interest in online gambling thus gambling is acting as a hindrance to the career of our country's children. 
How do you see the matter?

If they are still single, gambling certainly won't be a problem, because if we have financial problems then we ourselves will experience difficulties, but if we have a family, of course we have responsibilities and must be able to meet our family's needs, so I think It's really not good if we gamble because we have responsibilities to our family and if they have a mediocre income but still gamble, of course this is very risky because if they often lose at gambling, of course this will be a problem.

I don't really get what you're saying..

In answer to your question, I will say that the most important thing in gambling for participants is not to use money that you cannot afford to lose, money to pay bills. money for the family, money for loans, etc. If a person cannot restrain himself and spends what is necessary for life, then he should stop gambling so that there are no terrible consequences

If they are still single, gambling certainly won't be a problem, because if we have financial problems then we ourselves will experience difficulties, but if we have a family, of course we have responsibilities and must be able to meet our family's needs, so I think It's really not good if we gamble because we have responsibilities to our family and if they have a mediocre income but still gamble, of course this is very risky because if they often lose at gambling, of course this will be a problem.

There are some rich dudes whom you don't need to worry about their gambling lifestyle because they have a lot of money, can gamble with any amount they want, and still have enough money to handle the family's needs. Unless the person has a gambling addiction problem, he can have other family problems. Apart from not providing money for family needs, he can end up not giving enough attention to his wife and kids. Some poor gamblers too also have such a gambling lifestyle, but the problem starts if they are addicted gamblers, when they are gambling to fulfill family needs, or maybe they are using the money meant for family use to gamble. 

Yes and the good and bad side of it really depends on how a gambler treats his gambling activities, I understand that gambling can be used as an entertainment activity when we are in boring leisure time but only a few gamblers can really do this kind of action, most of them treat gambling in the wrong way which is because they are deceived or wrong in terms of understanding the chances of winning in gambling, they think it is very easy to realize victory, even though everything they see is tantalizing in fact all of that is nothing more than a temptation so that they act more and more excessive.
In my opinion, the benefits of gambling only provide entertainment but there is absolutely no such thing as success, or I mean there are no consistent results in the long run to always win because after all, gambling will always be an activity that will never be predictable until whenever, meaning that no one can change their life for the better just by gambling, and if that's true then I'm sure there are many people who have followed in that footsteps, but obviously I think it makes no sense to believe in such success with just a little effort.

Indeed, there are some rich people who have a lot of money so they can gamble as they wish and it doesn't affect their family's needs, but even though they have enough spare money, of course the opportunity for them to become addicted is still there, and of course they can become addicted if they lose self-control. when gambling and of course it will affect his finances. where at first they don't have problems with their finances and needs, but when they become addicted to gambling, of course financial problems and other problems can occur.

Of course, when they become addicted to gambling, what will most likely happen is that they will only focus on the gambling they want. and of course that will enable them to ignore everything around them, including their wife or children. Apart from that, someone who is addicted to gambling will certainly experience a change in attitude where they will become a more stubborn person and tend to only prioritize their ego.

Don't professional gamblers also consider gambling as their source of income?

The consequences of irresponsible gambling is very high and it can make the addict look unkept like someone insane. This is why as a gambler, you should be able to have prevention measures on addiction in order to gamble happily and enjoy the fun in gambling. I agree with every points that you highlighted, but the problems lies on the people who see gambling as a means of making profit, and they will go at extra miles to make sure that they continue gambling even though they are running at big loss. Such people needs to quit gambling and go on a long break, if not they are doing more harm to themselves. If most gamblers can key into the rules of gambling and only gamble for fun, we will have less gambling related problems in the society.

It baffles me when I see matured people being too addicted to gambling to the extent of becoming so violent and angry with their family as if they are the cause of their problems when it is clearly what one uses his hand and money to get himself into. A lot of people in the society now are into gambling due to economic hardship and this has made many people to depend on gambling as a source of income because they feel the money comes easily.

It is important for gamblers to know that gambling is supposed to be played for fun and not taken for source of income. Gambling is not bad but it depends on how it is being played because I believe when some does something responsibly no body will say bad words against them but when it is done otherwise, people begin to raise concern and begins to condemn their gambling habits.

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

So with all this I think if they put an restrictions on gambling it's not a bad idea at all, first why is gambling a problem?

Gambling can stimulate the brain's rewards system much like drugs or alcohol can, leading to addiction. If you have a problem with compulsive gambling, you may continually chase bets that lead to losses, use up savings and create debt.

You may hide your behavior and even turn to theft or fraud to support your addiction. So with my conclusion and my observation towards this gambling is really cousin harm to the life of those ones who are addicted to it most their families.

 Secondly what are the social problem caused by gambling?
(1) Depression and suicide
(2) bankruptcy, family-break up
(3) domestic abuse
(4) assault, fraud
(5) theft, and even homeless
Addiction to gambling is link to a range of serious personal and social harm such as those things I mentioned. These effects can be devastating to the individual as well as their friends, family, workplaces and community.

This are the harms and with all this are the reasons why, they see people who gambles as a distraction towards the society and the most people who are into all this are the addicted ones. So how is gambling harmful to the society, ills associate with problem gamblers are widespread and often go beyond and addition to gambling.

People who gambles can be at risk of this following categories of harm.
(1) Financial harms
(2) Erosion of savings
(3) Filling for bankruptcy
(4) Relationship conflicts
(5) Neglect of relationship with significant other
(6) Neglect of relationship with children
(7) Extend family and friends
(8) Social isolation
(9) Emotional or psychological distress

So I don't really blame the people who sees gambling as a bad thing to the society, meanwhile If the younger ones take of the steps of being addicted don't you think they'll experience all this as well. So gambling it's bad to the society nevertheless it's also helping in the other hands, to ones which are benefiting and earning from it.

What is the mindset of a gambler? On my opinion pathological gamblers play the cope with a life stresses. Near-misses and personal choice give some gamblers a sense of control, winning money. Others believe they can beat the casino and win real money.

So the mindset are those things that attract harm to them and the society because they are focused on the money, and that's why I said it's also helping some people in other hands and it's also killing some people right now in the society. Behavior also involves that makes it look bad to the society, while trying to get back lost money by gambling more( chasing losses) lying to family members or other to hide the extent of your gambling.

Risking or losing important relationships, a job, or school or work opportunities because of gambling. Asking others to bail you out of financial trouble cause you have gambled money away.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

The ego is very dangerous, because it has no boundaries and can bring the player to anything, even to the very bottom, but the main thing here is not that, but the fact that at that moment he will think that he is right and no one will convince him. As for me, I used to be like that too, but then I became older and realized that we have to pay very dearly for our ego and I’m not ready to do it all the time. I became calmer and began to think more, I became interested in different strategies and communication with other players. I am very happy about this and I think that I will never return to this problem.

In general, it is difficult for me to say how much gambling harms society, but negative aspects sometimes occur. But if we are honest, then life is full of not very good things, the main thing is how we relate to it and perceive it.

I think that it’s more than that. For instance, there’s greed; no matter how much people win, they’ll want to win more right away thinking it has gotten easy or they have become masters. And even if not instantly, they’ll start gambling for bigger amounts of money. Despite the wins or losses or the belief of future wins, we ought to have control.

That's how sad when talking about reality of gambling, we all knew it but people still ignored those facts associated. They're getting influenced with so many temptations linked to being motivated with different winning experiences of so many players. That's how toxic gambling is to the society, despite all of the warnings and advices, every individual choose their will to participate and gamble their money. Each individual's willingness was due to confidence that came from several advertisements.

Indeed, there are some rich people who have a lot of money so they can gamble as they wish and it doesn't affect their family's needs, but even though they have enough spare money, of course the opportunity for them to become addicted is still there, and of course they can become addicted if they lose self-control. when gambling and of course it will affect his finances. where at first they don't have problems with their finances and needs, but when they become addicted to gambling, of course financial problems and other problems can occur.

I didn't say there was no chance of getting addicted. What I mean is that, since they are rich, they might have the money to gamble with at all time and they may also have enough money to handle the needs of the family but where they will encounter issues in the relationship is when they become addicted and divert all their attention from wife and children to gambling. Women love attention and children likes attention to be guided by their parents. If you are not giving the required attention to the family but rather to gambling, it can cause disagreements and fight between the man and wife. That was my point their.

one of the points could be that in my opinion those who become addicted to gambling have never cared about the situation of their family, I think that everyone or most of them here play or at least make a bet every now and then, but for the good of those we love know how to regulate ourselves because of all the problems that gambling can bring, like all things if done sparingly it is difficult for alcohol to become a problem, even if addiction can be dangerous.
therefore these who become desperate have never cared about their family

True, and besides that there are several factors of circumstances that can further trigger a person to get involved in gambling which one of them is when they are having financial problems in their lives that make them depressed and as we know that sometimes a person can justify any means to get money when they are in a depressed and urgent situation which is possible if in the end they are attracted to gambling with various initial scenarios that attract them to fall into which one of them is like the promotional advertisement that you said above.

The situation can apply to everyone but most of them are poor people or those who have a precarious financial situation who end up choosing gambling by putting high hopes on winning. Initially they think that gambling can be used as a place or intermediary to change their lives, but as time goes by the situation gets worse and the situation will be even more stressful when they have entered the phase of chasing losses.

Either you are a professional gambler or you are not a professional gambler. I don’t think it’s proper to take gambling as a source of income. All I will say is that gambling should be for fun and shouldn’t be taken as a source of income. Some people are already addicted to gambling, but they are always claiming they are professional gamblers, and they can control their gambling habit, but they can’t really control it. Don’t be surprised that people you think are professionals are not really professionals.
 
Anyone who claims to be a professional gambler should already know much about gambling, so you should know that gambling shouldn’t be taken as a source of income, gambling should be done just to have fun alone and shouldn’t be taken as their source of income.

Yes, gambling is bad to the society if the gambler is poor and keep creating new problem to other people.

Gambling isn't bad to the society if the gambler is rich and he like to help other people by giving free money, people will think he's like a God and gambling isn't a problem at all.

Can you see the difference? I believe you can. ;)

yeah I do see the difference, but for those society who takes the poor gambler as a crime to the society. I don't think they're doing the right thing because they're only looking at the bad side of it, not knowing that with gambling you can become a millionaire in life to help and support to the society. And for those society that takes a rich person as helper or a God to the society, I guess they do know that they started when they were poor. So for those society who sees gambling as a means of creating new problems should also see the good side of it, seeing what the rich one's are doing at the society, so for me that should also let them know that gambling do helps.

Good the points. No matter how much we discuss and criticize the dangers of gambling, no benefits seem to come from it. Nowadays, the young generation is becoming so interested in gambling that they are devoting their entire academic studies to gambling, which poses a serious threat to future generations. MCW ,A popular casino site in our country where millions of young boys and girls are involved and they are making huge losses from this casino. Hundreds of boys and girls in my community are losing huge amounts from these casino sites and ruining their careers. As a Guardian I am facing a very dangerous situation with the young generation.

That's why being a guardian to my younger generation son and daughter I constantly monitored their activities particular with social media and other stuffs on the internet. Money issuance will always be an optimum amount to their allowance so they won't be able to partake with gambling whether physical or online betting. Educating them on values on importance of hard earned money from us their parent, and with that ways I believed gambling would be a serious interest for them to tackle with despite of how bad it affects the society.

To be fair enough, you cannot necessarily monitor all the activities of this young generation because if they did not learn from home, they can easily learn from their peers in school or those in the neighbourhood. Just do the best you can as a parent by continually reminding the taught lessons so as to keep their minds refreshed and hope they don't get misled by what they see around. Talking about social media, there are often times where gambling ads just keep popping up, some are from apps we use in our phone while some are from the page we are in, so they'll definitely get exposed to all these gambling but I guess this is where the quality of your advise comes in.

Gambling is not bad to the society, its what the people should know and be ready to accept that they are the ones that make use of gambling together with other means of entertainment to disrupt the society in one way or the other, the intention for the creation of gambling is on engaging the people together to have fun and enjoy this during their free time, just as many have seen gambling as a means of having fun which i don't think should have any negative influence to the society.

yes, that's right, with those who are rich, of course they have enough money to gamble and they probably won't worry when their gambling ends in defeat because they still have enough money to survive and still be able to meet their basic needs, what is unnatural is when they force themselves and their needs are not met and this happens when they are addicted to gambling. and that will happen when they can't control themselves even though they have enough money, of course the chance of them becoming addicted is still there and it's just as likely as those who don't have enough money if they can't control themselves well.
It's true what you say, they will experience financial problems and it will affect their good relationships where these financial problems occur because they are addicted to gambling. and yes, when this bad thing happens it will have an impact on disputes or fights between each other which can lead to divorce and this bad thing can happen when they pay less attention to their family members because they only prioritize gambling.

As what the title is asking, I think it is not unless people will become irresponsible with it. The only downside with gambling it ads being rampant and descriminately being posted online which will then influence minors to jump-in in the hope of making money out of it which is quite common especially in third world countries like mine.

If that remains a contagious activity, I believed chasing losses eventually ruins the family budget which really an essential thing to support family needs. Hard earned money is in danger of over spending due to gambling, if a person attached with gambling couldn't overcome his hard core habits? It's more like of a drug that's uncontrollable, because it needs self rehabilitation in order to stop. But whom can we seek help? Well, I guess no one could do that for us but ourselves! Nobody is held responsible for what we did but ourselves.
Uplifting our moral is very important, helping our own personal being could be possible because you knew exactly your limitations both strength and weaknesses.

Gambling is overall a net positive to society, that being said it is true that it can cause some people to become addicted to it, which is why it is legal but heavily regulated, however this is true for many other industries as well, so gambling is not being specifically targeted by governments, also in the minds of many people, since gambling can cause addiction, they put it on the same bag as drugs, but gambling addiction probably occurs in less than 1% of those that try it, while drug addiction is many times more common, with some drugs being so addictive that it can cause a person to become dependent on it from their very first use.

Of course chasing losses will always be an action that can never be justified, because after all there are very significant adverse effects that begin with losing money slowly in the long run, and obviously these impacts can destroy the financial situation in the family which will most likely make it difficult for them to make ends meet. Expenses will be much greater than income and this is what will destroy the balance in one's finances due to excessive spending on gambling.

In the end, as you said, no one cares about us except ourselves, meaning that if the bad habit is not stopped immediately, the situation will get worse over time and I am sure that the people around us will also stay away from us when they find out that we are having problems in life because of the impact of gambling. Therefore, we should not get tired of reminding anyone, especially beginners, to really apply a rational mindset and point of view in themselves before it's too late, because as we know that if you have entered the addiction phase then it is a very difficult problem to overcome.

As what the title is asking, I think it is not unless people will become irresponsible with it. The only downside with gambling it ads being rampant and descriminately being posted online which will then influence minors to jump-in in the hope of making money out of it which is quite common especially in third world countries like mine.

In general, gambling is still viewed as a bad thing by society, so to be honest, its impact is also bad for society. Therefore, every country that legalizes gambling will make clear regulations to strictly regulate gambling activities, so as to minimize friction between groups who like to gamble and those who don't. This is a fact that happens, and I think everyone can judge it objectively, in many circles gambling activities are still considered a bad thing. One reason is that not all gamblers can gamble responsibly, in many cases many gamblers act outside the bounds.

Meanwhile, regarding gambling advertising through various social media platforms, it is very disturbing, because it can be reached by children and they could be exposed to it prematurely. Even in countries where gambling is considered illegal, there are lots of gambling advertisements circulating on social media, in this case the government needs to take action. If government regulations are strict, gambling can become an important part of increasing state revenue through tax collections, but there are always two sides, namely good and bad, and each individual must have their own perception.

I bin any uncontrolled situation becomes a neusance, if gamblers get to a point that they ate too many addicts and they start to be a problem to the environment then the government may be forced to see them as bad and might even set up a law against gambling, do yeah I think if everything gets out of hand and so many suicide here and there and many teenagers getting in or worse then it's becomes bad like every other addiction.

Everybody knows what to do about his or her life, everybody also knows the best for himself.Some persons choose to gamble,while some persons choose not to gamble because they are scared that they might get addicted to gambling,and it will lead them into depression,or it will frustrate their lives,while other person's sees it as a risk they need to take if they ever want to break the yoke of poverty.To gamble to make money nomatter the risks involved.
Therefore,when someone who has already set his mind on making money loses in gambling,he uses it as extra motivation to try more,where as the one that doesn't gamble see it as a chain to bankruptcy.

Indeed, addiction is really a difficult situation to battle for those individual who became slave with it specially when bad habits remains a redundant actions. Giving reminders and warning to someone who's not absorbing our thoughts is kinda exhausting, and its not worth it for someone who has no plans to change their mindset and attitude. In reality we couldn't force someone to stop, since they all have their own personal reasons that hinders them to flee from gambling quickly. Some people said that they have perfect time for everything, then there's no need to have repetitive advice and it's up to them if they'll going take those helpful words of wisdom.

If you are really that always making up that kind of reflection on trying out to mimic those rich people and if you are really just that on average or someone whose really that in poorer side then it would really be just that bringing out that huge devastation into you on which this is something that you should really be trying out to avoid as much as you could because we do know that once  that desperation would really be kicking in then this is something that would really be that so hard to control and as long you do have the money that you could really be able to play on then you would really be definitely be pushing up yourself to the limits until you would really be losing it all on which this is something that would really be happening. This is why it would really be better that you should really be self wary on the actions that you are taking if you dont really like to mess
up yourself on gambling field.

Gambling isnt really that bad, it is really just that people do mess up their lives because of the actions that they are taking because if they are really just that responsible on the things that they are really that doing
then you wont really be finding yourself on such trouble. People are really just that forgetting on whats the real reason on why people do gamble and how it should really be treated up.

In general, gambling is still viewed as a bad thing by society, so to be honest, its impact is also bad for society.

But for some reason, this society doesn't hesitate to use the money received from the taxes of the owners of the gambling industry and from the people working in this industry, who pour their money into the economy through spending (and indirect taxes). Many people work for the gambling industry directly and indirectly, which allows them to provide for their lives and the lives of their relatives. Therefore, the question of the influence (good or bad) of gambling on society remains open, because from a social (mental) position, gambling harms people due to gambling addiction and associated consequences, but from an economic point of view, it turns out that gambling benefits people (workers places) and the flow of money into the same society (I’m not talking about prize money) as wages.

Gambling itself is not a bad thing to the society - as there are those that are engaged in gambling and yet still help in contributing values to society. The only time it becomes worrisome is when bad gambling habits are being used.

In your lists of things you mentioned not a of them are true for a gambler that knows what he or she is doing - you will never see a decent gambler that would be in debt because of gambling - they know where to draw the line and when to continue. All those attributes you mentioned are only associated with those that have managed to develop a bad gambling habit.

If you are not able to make good decisions for your own life, no one else will ever be able to make a good decision for you.  Gambling is definitely a bad addiction and no one can do anything good in his life if he is addicted to this addiction.   Gambling is a bad addiction in society's eyes. with the change of era, gambling is now a common thing, but gambling still remains bad in the eyes of the society. Gambling addiction is almost the same as alcohol addiction.  Because both are very harmful. one causes health damage and another causes financial damage. so both things are very bad in society

       -   If there are other countries that have banned it, maybe it's because they don't want their subjects to learn to gamble, to rely on luck just to advance, or to make money just by gambling. There are others, especially lazy people, who turn this into an alternative solution for them to earn money, even though it is not really stable to generate money.

And there are others because gambling becomes an instrument of family and character destruction and sometimes even leads to tragedy or crime. But there are other countries that turn gambling into a charity program to help people in need who really have nothing.

This is why it's usually said that before you try to help an addict, make sure to the addict is willing to let go of the addiction before even thinking of helping them because that way helping becomes easier but if you are trying to help someone who isn't really willing to be helped or isn't willing to drop the habit as at the time when you are trying to help, then they will end up making most of your efforts vain because in the end you won't be able to achieve that which you desired to achieve trying to help them because they aren't even willing the be helped in the first place.

Some one who's actually really willing to let go of their unhealthy and irresponsible gambling habit doesn't need so much of advice for them to agree to letting go and getting help so they will be better to break free from such habits so helping them becomes difficult.

as I said before, the opportunity for them to become addicted will still exist, even though having enough money does not mean we will not be addicted, in fact destruction will be prone to occur, especially when we lose self-control which can make us ambitious to continue gambling. to get what we want and as a result it ends up causing us to experience financial problems. We previously had enough money and were well off but instead ended up having no money and lacking everything. Maybe this comes back to who you are doing the gambling, because no matter what condition we are in, gambling addiction will not be biased, everyone can experience addiction if they forget normal limits. Therefore, we should be careful about the actions we are going to take, considering them first is something that must be done.

Indeed, gambling is not bad and many people have a bad view of gambling because they have seen many people whose lives have been ruined, but the destruction of their lives is because they themselves are gambling unfairly. As a result, the bad impact caused them to experience destruction and was visible to many people's eyes.

There are many people who are addicted to gambling who do not understand their addiction. But there are many who consider their gambling habits and realize that they are addicted to gambling. But understanding addiction is not the only way a gambler can recover from his addiction. There are many who understand but still cannot quit gambling. Those gamblers definitely need help from another person. But there are many gamblers who do not seek help from others. If someone wants to help them, they can refuse them. If there are people who don't want help, there is a possibility of getting into many more problems who want to help him.

Yes, that's right, giving advice or direction to someone who is addicted is tiring, because in the end it depends on themselves, if for example they really still have it.
high obsession with gambling then of course there is a big possibility that whatever we suggest will not be able to change anything and there is even a possibility that maybe they will think that we are one of the people who interferes too much in their affairs.

So basically it is a good action for us to try to help people who are addicted with various actions that we can, one of which is by giving advice, that is good, but if for example they really cannot appreciate our help or from other people and instead say something that shouldn't be said to us then let it be, because actually this is only a matter of time, in the sense that as time goes by they will also definitely realize that their actions and thought patterns are actions that are harmful to them, especially when they have experienced some significant bad things that really traumatized them.

Perfect example and view. We should be aware that when it comes to gambling addiction or any other, willpower is broken and Dopamine is always seeked in the process which makes it look hard for gamblers to quit even when they want to.
The truth is they failed to recognize it at an early stage, I believe with persistent self discipline and control with help of others am sure they can be free.

No matter how conscious a gambler plays, if he gambles once and makes money, the person who gambles twice as much a second time bets that the gambler instead loses all his money and goes home penniless. A gambler can never give happiness to his family because he is always busy with gambling and how will he look after his family so a gambler must think about his family and quit gambling. They become so addicted to gambling for fun that one time they try to convince him but he doesn't try to understand anyone. He has no money left to repay. So a gambler should know all aspects of gambling before gambling then become addicted to winning.

Of course, a gambler is most in the eyes of society, because a gambler spends everything he earns to gamble if he is addicted. It is true that addicts always face losses, because addicts are always gambling, their brain is only trying to win the gamble. And because of greed the winnings become only losses but the addict cannot stop gambling so at the end of time when the balance runs out he again starts borrowing from others. Usually in such a tide the society family and relatives are all resentful of him and the most in the eyes of the society. How will he bring happiness to the family because he loses most of what he earns.

So a gambler should know all aspects of gambling before gambling then become addicted to winning.

There are several efforts we can make to help them avoid gambling addiction, the simplest effort is to remind them with a warning because this effort is effective for family members and relatives and they appreciate our caring attitude, opinions about gambling are very sensitive and they don't even accept being called a gambling addict. even though they realize they have lost a lot of money in gambling. They will admit to gambling addiction after they experience stress and other symptoms of mental disorders due to not having money anymore for basic needs and they have lost everything in gambling, such gambling addiction must be cured with the recommended rehabilitation stage.

one of the points could be that in my opinion those who become addicted to gambling have never cared about the situation of their family, I think that everyone or most of them here play or at least make a bet every now and then, but for the good of those we love know how to regulate ourselves because of all the problems that gambling can bring, like all things if done sparingly it is difficult for alcohol to become a problem, even if addiction can be dangerous.
therefore these who become desperate have never cared about their family

Of course, a gambler is most in the eyes of society, because a gambler spends everything he earns to gamble if he is addicted. It is true that addicts always face losses, because addicts are always gambling, their brain is only trying to win the gamble. And because of greed the winnings become only losses but the addict cannot stop gambling so at the end of time when the balance runs out he again starts borrowing from others. Usually in such a tide the society family and relatives are all resentful of him and the most in the eyes of the society. How will he bring happiness to the family because he loses most of what he earns.

I think that the answer lays on the perspective how we look on gambling. There are people who see gambling only as an entertainment or time killer. For me, that is the way gambling is, and I find it ok. Some people see gambling as a way to earn. Well, I can say that there are much better ways to earn.

Society needs gambling as additional way to have fun. Society must change attitude to gambling from negative (stop reading and producing info how people only lose) to neutral (a way to have fun, but not a primary one).

It all comes back to a person's capacity to use gambling, we often find someone when gambling focuses only on winnings and some are just for fun, of course the bad impact is someone who hopes for a big win when gambling, but the reality is just the opposite which has a bad impact.  for that person, it all depends on how they consume it in their daily life, because that can also be a measure of a player's badness.

Damn right, gambling's a two-sided coin. Non-evil, but it bites without discipline. Self-control might be tricky, but it's essential. Pressure, especially in high-stakes gaming, can break willpower. Look, even dudes with stacks of cash can lose their shit. Because they overreact and forget their bounds, not because they're broke. Gambling is risky. Consider it investing, not a chaos. Consider your risks, don't chase losses, and know when to quit

Gambling, done well, can be enjoyable and profitable. It must be nutritious. Time and money restrictions are needed. Out when you reach those limits. Not letting it run your life, but having fun

It all comes back to a person's capacity to use gambling, we often find someone when gambling focuses only on winnings and some are just for fun, of course the bad impact is someone who hopes for a big win when gambling, but the reality is just the opposite which has a bad impact.  for that person, it all depends on how they consume it in their daily life, because that can also be a measure of a player's badness.

You correctly noticed that the winnings should correspond to the deposit the gambling player has in his account. A gambler should always understand that if he wants a huge win from a small deposit, then most likely he will just lose all the money.

Mathematics is a science where if you have $100, then with a fair game you have 50 percent chance that you will win $100. Gambling only seems to be a free game, in fact, everything is very tied to mathematics, and there is nothing you can do about it.

It all comes back to a person's capacity to use gambling, we often find someone when gambling focuses only on winnings and some are just for fun, of course the bad impact is someone who hopes for a big win when gambling, but the reality is just the opposite which has a bad impact.  for that person, it all depends on how they consume it in their daily life, because that can also be a measure of a player's badness.

Of course, this really depends on a person's behavior in playing gambling. It is true that we find many people who gamble to win from the bets they play and only a small percentage consider gambling as a place to have fun, when someone gambles too often. of course it will make them spend a lot of their money on gambling and of course this will make them experience financial problems and what is worse they will take out loans to gamble of course this is a very bad choice and it would be better to limit the funds we use for gamble and also limit the time for gambling in order to avoid the bad effects of gambling.

A person who becomes addicted to gambling while playing for fun is clearly an addictive gambler in their behavior. Gambling Generally many people gamble to gain money. Gambling is not always about making money, but there is also the risk of losing, so one should gamble with enough caution, but not to gamble in such a way that one becomes completely addicted to gambling. When a person becomes addicted to gambling he does not earn cash he is always in debt and gambles such gambling is definitely very dangerous for his family and very dangerous for him so such gambler must be desisted from. It's not like the person who gambles will get money because gambling is also very risky gambling many times if someone gets money then their people work and they gamble because of greed maybe they can get money if they are lucky. But those who are very confident and experienced in gambling may gain huge amount of money through this gambling but those who lose money once they can gamble with cool mind can definitely earn money in gambling.

Yep, that's depends on personal views but you can imagine what will happens to society if most people on that society playing gambling. You will see they don't do other things and only playing gambling and they use gambling for their main things for their lives. They can't separate which is their primary things or secondary things in their lives but they will use gambling as their primary things. They will talks about gambling every day no matter if they are takes a break from gambling or while they playing gambling. It seems they don't have other things to do and just keeps playing gambling. That will makes that society lives becomes worst  because they can't do other things that can benefits their lives. They becomes lazy and don't wants to moves from their zone because they thinks that they are okay with all of that but the truth is they are not okay.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

It all comes back to a person's capacity to use gambling, we often find someone when gambling focuses only on winnings and some are just for fun, of course the bad impact is someone who hopes for a big win when gambling, but the reality is just the opposite which has a bad impact.  for that person, it all depends on how they consume it in their daily life, because that can also be a measure of a player's badness.

They become so addicted to gambling for fun that one time they try to convince him but he doesn't try to understand anyone. He has no money left to repay. So a gambler should know all aspects of gambling before gambling then become addicted to winning.

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

So with all this I think if they put an restrictions on gambling it's not a bad idea at all, first why is gambling a problem?

Gambling can stimulate the brain's rewards system much like drugs or alcohol can, leading to addiction. If you have a problem with compulsive gambling, you may continually chase bets that lead to losses, use up savings and create debt.

You may hide your behavior and even turn to theft or fraud to support your addiction. So with my conclusion and my observation towards this gambling is really cousin harm to the life of those ones who are addicted to it most their families.

 Secondly what are the social problem caused by gambling?
(1) Depression and suicide
(2) bankruptcy, family-break up
(3) domestic abuse
(4) assault, fraud
(5) theft, and even homeless
Addiction to gambling is link to a range of serious personal and social harm such as those things I mentioned. These effects can be devastating to the individual as well as their friends, family, workplaces and community.

This are the harms and with all this are the reasons why, they see people who gambles as a distraction towards the society and the most people who are into all this are the addicted ones. So how is gambling harmful to the society, ills associate with problem gamblers are widespread and often go beyond and addition to gambling.

People who gambles can be at risk of this following categories of harm.
(1) Financial harms
(2) Erosion of savings
(3) Filling for bankruptcy
(4) Relationship conflicts
(5) Neglect of relationship with significant other
(6) Neglect of relationship with children
(7) Extend family and friends
(8) Social isolation
(9) Emotional or psychological distress

So I don't really blame the people who sees gambling as a bad thing to the society, meanwhile If the younger ones take of the steps of being addicted don't you think they'll experience all this as well. So gambling it's bad to the society nevertheless it's also helping in the other hands, to ones which are benefiting and earning from it.

What is the mindset of a gambler? On my opinion pathological gamblers play the cope with a life stresses. Near-misses and personal choice give some gamblers a sense of control, winning money. Others believe they can beat the casino and win real money.

So the mindset are those things that attract harm to them and the society because they are focused on the money, and that's why I said it's also helping some people in other hands and it's also killing some people right now in the society. Behavior also involves that makes it look bad to the society, while trying to get back lost money by gambling more( chasing losses) lying to family members or other to hide the extent of your gambling.

Risking or losing important relationships, a job, or school or work opportunities because of gambling. Asking others to bail you out of financial trouble cause you have gambled money away.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

I don't think there are such society in this world, where everybody in the society will be gambling without having other work to do,  which is a bad thing to such society because gambling cannot stop you not to do other work or business.

Gambling is not a bad thing when you take it as form of entertainment, and it will not make you to gamble above your budget and it will make you to love gambling more because you are not doing it because you want to win billions but if billion enter you will celebrate.

I don't think society will be happy to such gamblers that will be gambling in the society without doing other things, like in my society if such person is be caught with such attitude, there are some punishment for such gamblers.

Risking or losing important relationships, a job, or school or work opportunities because of gambling. Asking others to bail you out of financial trouble cause you have gambled money away.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

Yep, that's depends on personal views but you can imagine what will happens to society if most people on that society playing gambling. You will see they don't do other things and only playing gambling and they use gambling for their main things for their lives. They can't separate which is their primary things or secondary things in their lives but they will use gambling as their primary things.

That will makes that society lives becomes worst  because they can't do other things that can benefits their lives. They becomes lazy and don't wants to moves from their zone because they thinks that they are okay with all of that but the truth is they are not okay.

Gambling is a very serious addiction once addicted to gambling one can never quit gambling. We should always try to stay away from gambling. I know people who start gambling in the first place take gambling as entertainment.  There is. They don't even know when they become addicted to gambling. We all should take gambling as entertainment. Gambling can never become addiction

A freedom limiting thing is never really that great. I mean if it's bodily harm I would understand, like making heroin illegal is understandable because you are hurting your body, like literally unaliving yourself. However, casinos are just money places, the only thing they are after is your money, and this is true for EVERY business, they are just after your money, they have zero other side effects, they just take your money and nothing more.

If you spend all of your money on a casino, that is not casinos fault, and they should not be banned for it. I always had the belief that casinos should be legal all around the world, it would make things a lot better, and it would give people a chance to make it a lot more reasonable part of our lives.

usually in eastern countries, gambling is considered very bad and is definitely labeled negatively by society, but unlike western countries, there gambling is not considered bad, so gambling is bad for society depending on where the area is

gambling for some people has different understanding and treatment, there are those who consider gambling entertainment, a way to make money and a way to get rid of addiction, and it cannot be denied that the turnover of gambling money is very large, so in countries where gambling is legal, gambling is not bad for society

Yep, that's depends on personal views but you can imagine what will happens to society if most people on that society playing gambling. You will see they don't do other things and only playing gambling and they use gambling for their main things for their lives. They can't separate which is their primary things or secondary things in their lives but they will use gambling as their primary things. They will talks about gambling every day no matter if they are takes a break from gambling or while they playing gambling. It seems they don't have other things to do and just keeps playing gambling. That will makes that society lives becomes worst  because they can't do other things that can benefits their lives. They becomes lazy and don't wants to moves from their zone because they thinks that they are okay with all of that but the truth is they are not okay.

Despite all the points you have mentioned, how do you think such a society would be doing financially? We know that gambling isn't a way for anyone to earn money, you may win sometimes but you will lose most of the time, and when you are constantly losing money and not having any job or source of income, how do you live or sustain a livelihood? How would people feed themselves and their family members in such a society?

This can only be hypothetical because in practical life, a whole society can't be irresponsible and only irresponsible people can be like that where they keep gambling and do nothing else, their family suffer because of them being lazy and not having any source of income and spending anything they have on gambling.

If the portion of gambling is excessive it will certainly have an impact on our financial pockets or on our daily lives, it will definitely have an impact too. When gambling, you should not overdo it, just use a budget that is not too excessive. In my opinion, they are not only concerned with winning, usually they continue to play to catch up on the losses they experienced previously.

Gambling is a very serious addiction once addicted to gambling one can never quit gambling. We should always try to stay away from gambling. I know people who start gambling in the first place take gambling as entertainment.  There is. They don't even know when they become addicted to gambling. We all should take gambling as entertainment. Gambling can never become addiction.

It is still the same thing of saying that they are mainly after winning, because we know that gambling should be done do fun so that we don't overdo it and also be able to use an amount of money that will not make us chase or losses. If you don't win, you will not recover your loss. So winning is the primary agenda that leads to loss chasing. If you are a responsible gambler, you will consider losing too as part of the game, and that will make you to be careful in order you not gamble with big amount of money, so that if you loss your bet, you don't chase your losses.

I don't understand what you're talking about, first you said to always stay away from gambling, but then you suggest to gamble for fun.

Those two options are contradict each other, one need to stop and one need to gamble.

And you're wrong if you said every gambling addicts will not able to quit gambling, many of addicts can stop gambling, but it's require a big sacrifice which is losing everything.

It all comes back to a person's capacity to use gambling, we often find someone when gambling focuses only on winnings and some are just for fun, of course the bad impact is someone who hopes for a big win when gambling, but the reality is just the opposite which has a bad impact.  for that person, it all depends on how they consume it in their daily life, because that can also be a measure of a player's badness.

...
So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

I can agree with your take on this subject of gambling being bad to the society, but upon careful consideration, gambling has been a source of income for a country like Brazil of which collects some amount of tax from winnings of gamblers. It was about 15% as at the last time I learnt of this, and surely it has helped their countries GDP in so many ways, including discouraging gamblers from gambling excessively.

these are the scenario most addicted gambler is facing butthat will  never happen to you if you are a
self controlled gambler in which very few managed to keep for themselves while in gambling.


not because we should not treat gambling as a means of earning is
that we should add this to a bad in society because there are many gamblers
than knows how to limit themselves so that is far from being bad to the community right?

but you know in some society those people who progress more in business are strong gamblers, so gambling is also helping in other hands. Just as you said their are some gamblers who knows how to limit themselves whenever they notice they're going too far, but their ones that doesn't care if they are doing the wrong thing. What they just want it's for them to get what they want and they won't even care if they're causing more trouble to society. And this are the set that makes people take gambling as something that isn't important to the society. So gambling helps and it's important also.

Gambling can be good in a societal level, if both gamblers and government are responsible, in the end, a casino is just like any ither business which is obliged to pay their taxes.

Society needs gambling as additional way to have fun. Society must change attitude to gambling from negative (stop reading and producing info how people only lose) to neutral (a way to have fun, but not a primary one).

🍑
...
A true gambler is a gambler who can relax and be responsible, at least he knows when to gamble and knows when to stop gambling, gambling can indeed produce something good for society...

but you know in some society those people who progress more in business are strong gamblers, so gambling is also helping in other hands. Just as you said their are some gamblers who knows how to limit themselves whenever they notice they're going too far, but their ones that doesn't care if they are doing the wrong thing. What they just want it's for them to get what they want and they won't even care if they're causing more trouble to society. And this are the set that makes people take gambling as something that isn't important to the society. So gambling helps and it's important also.

with those who experience big losses or lose a lot of money because they gamble with the aim of winning. because by aiming for victory, it tends to make them unable to invest money in gambling when the gambling they do ends up losing, so that their goal actually causes them to experience undesirable things. Apart from that, in my opinion, gambling is not completely bad, because this is a game that pays with rewards. If you are lucky, you can get it, but most people do this, they don't think about the risks, so they only think about winning what they will get, even though it's not certain. happen.

What you say is correct, winning is the main agenda which ends in chasing defeat, there is even a famous figure in my country who said "even if they win, it is the beginning of defeat" and I think that is true. The large number of people who have a bad view of gambling is due to the fault of the gamblers themselves who gamble excessively so that they often experience many problems and bad impacts. They should be able to consider the action they are going to take before regretting it in the end.

I think that the casino is always an Opportunity to show ourselves what we are capable of doing and achieving, sometimes we see that things can be very Difficult and can generate a lot of frustration if we determine that many things can be guaranteed, our Security is an Invaluable value that we should not lose even if we lose at the casino, we should always have willpower and action, in any case we will feel that it can take away our confidence because if we play and or win then it is already an Imminent Failure , but if we see it from another point of view things can Change and be better if we manage to handle it to have fun and Occasionally make a profit, it does not Matter if Society does not like it, it is not being harmed, there is no need to complicate things.

I believe so but what we have seen is that it was not for making them fun or for their pastime, it has now become one of their necessities which has become a reason for their financial problem due to heavy addiction. In fact, in our place, many of them are in debt because of this and they are working hard, have some money, and gamble which is supposed for their basic needs. It is not helping anymore but it causes additional problems. They are not too young not to know how it ruins their life and needs education, they are supposed to realize it before the worst thing happens.

But when a gambler engages in irresponsible gambling he will see it not as a joy but as a bane of his life. An addicted gambler or an irresponsible gambler will not be viewed favorably by society. Because today or tomorrow society will be damaged by him. However, we cannot blame for gamble as a gambler's behavior is entirely personal. By conducting responsible gambling on one will never be affected by the negative effects of gambling.

Being addicted or irresponsible gambler doesn’t mean you can harm the society unless the gambler does an action that affects the community then this is true. Some of the addicted gambler usually just play on their own silently since they spend most of their time in the casino instead of joining to do the society.

I believe the close family is the one will be affected financially if ever the gambler is using the money intended for his family but that’s not always the case so let’s stop generalizing an addicted is harmful to everyone.

Gambling is really enjoyable if one realizes it. And that joy can only be realized by those who conduct responsible gambling there. But when a gambler engages in irresponsible gambling he will see it not as a joy but as a bane of his life. An addicted gambler or an irresponsible gambler will not be viewed favorably by society. Because today or tomorrow society will be damaged by him. However, we cannot blame for gamble as a gambler's behavior is entirely personal. By conducting responsible gambling on one will never be affected by the negative effects of gambling.

Nice one! Now, let's view it from a standpoint, if gambling is so evil to the point that it will be very evil/negative to society to the extent of causing harm to people who are not even gambling through those who are gambling, do you think the government will be this silent about it, especially if it has now become an epidemy in the country? In this situation, if care is not even taken, gambling would be abolished in the country, just like the government is fighting drugs which could cause others who are not even taking them to be harmed due to the drugs' influence on those who are taking them. But the situation is not so right now, which technically means that gambling is not as bad as people are taking it, if not for the irresponsible acts (in finances) associated with gamblers.

Being addicted or irresponsible gambler doesn’t mean you can harm the society unless the gambler does an action that affects the community then this is true. Some of the addicted gambler usually just play on their own silently since they spend most of their time in the casino instead of joining to do the society.

It is this simple, even if there are a few people out there that will ruin their lives because of gambling, the truth is that gambling brings so many benefits that governments are not going through the trouble to ban it, after all just take a look at Las Vegas, that is a city that exist exclusively because of gambling and now it has become one of the most visited touristic spots around the world, despite the fact that now you can gamble from your phone, showing how powerful gambling can be and the great benefits it offers to society as a whole.

In my opinion, gambling is part of a business, where they are willing to look for capital to be able to gamble, from those looking for capital they have to try first even though the capital money is obtained from borrowing money from other people, which in essence means they try before they start playing. gambling.

Then they have high hopes that they can reach a point of victory where they hope to be able to pay off the loan from the first capital and then be able to carry on with their daily lives, even though the method is a little less good, but they have tried their best to find a little money so they can survive.

It is this simple, even if there are a few people out there that will ruin their lives because of gambling, the truth is that gambling brings so many benefits that governments are not going through the trouble to ban it, after all just take a look at Las Vegas, that is a city that exist exclusively because of gambling and now it has become one of the most visited touristic spots around the world, despite the fact that now you can gamble from your phone, showing how powerful gambling can be and the great benefits it offers to society as a whole.

People need to separate gambling from poor handling of money I think.  We could pose the same question about people who shop too much, spend too much money they dont have for items they dont need, its the same deal really.

The underlying cause is growing up to believe you can spend money you dont possess especially on things you dont need.   Do that in any case and you will end up broke, hungry and homeless possibly.   I dont see gambling as the cause of that bad attitude personally, it can be one of the things people spend too much on but its by no means the only misuse of cash which was never available to spend.


One of my best friends dads was a bookmaker, he took bets on horses mostly and gave out fair odds.  Adults choosing to bet on a race is upto them, he was a just normal worker making a living doing work handling that cash doing the books and paying the bills with his earnings.   Everyone has to pay their bills first before they ever spend, it is problem if discipline is not there to do that & its a problem to figure out at that point.

Being addicted or irresponsible gambler doesn’t mean you can harm the society unless the gambler does an action that affects the community then this is true. Some of the addicted gambler usually just play on their own silently since they spend most of their time in the casino instead of joining to do the society.

I believe the close family is the one will be affected financially if ever the gambler is using the money intended for his family but that’s not always the case so let’s stop generalizing an addicted is harmful to everyone.

Nice one! Now, let's view it from a standpoint, if gambling is so evil to the point that it will be very evil/negative to society to the extent of causing harm to people who are not even gambling through those who are gambling, do you think the government will be this silent about it, especially if it has now become an epidemy in the country? In this situation, if care is not even taken, gambling would be abolished in the country, just like the government is fighting drugs which could cause others who are not even taking them to be harmed due to the drugs' influence on those who are taking them. But the situation is not so right now, which technically means that gambling is not as bad as people are taking it, if not for the irresponsible acts (in finances) associated with gamblers.

Also, look around you, how many people have been harmed by gambling addicts just because such addicts want to gamble? Being bad and doing all sorts of evil is human and is a different ballgame and it is in the nature of the person personally whether he gambles or not. Even if such will use part of the evil proceeds to gamble, how many more things will the person use it for aside from gambling? There will be many of course, so this is not about gambling itself but a bad human being. This is applicable to whether he is even addicted to the extent of robbing, for example, and using part of it to gamble, which is the only risk I see here. But note that desperation can push anyone to do an unspeakable thing but no one has the right to do evil things no matter the reason. A good mind will always counter evil thoughts and opt for a good alternative, so it is not gambling that should be blamed but that evil soul itself.

Family comes first and they support an individual with everything they have. Gambling have caused great harm to people who indulge in gambling. It's never a solid move to gamble because there's evidence of heavy losses which will never be recoverable, rather its pin on reducing the bank account of gamblers and making them irresponsible in the society with absolutely nothing to offer.

Gambling is a player’s test of his responsibility to himself, how far he can go if the worst-case scenario starts to happen with constant losses. It's like the blows he receives, although he expected to be stroked. This is a story about how each player wants one thing and gets another, this is a test of their nerves and weak and mentally unprepared players can break down and their life will never be the same again. I would like more players to remember that it all starts small, for example I'll try to play a little or in a fun group of friends it doesn't matter. The main thing is that the player started the game. Another point that I would draw attention to is that at the very beginning of the game, some people win and think that they are the luckiest on this planet. Never think that this winning will be permanent, it is not, and sooner or later we will face a loss.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

Yes you are right I agree that gambling tests player self control and responsibility. When they lose repeatedly they must face their limits. Excitement of winning can quickly turn into series of losses. This experience can strengthen or break player showing their mental strength. Players must remember that gambling mostly starts small but can quickly become addiction and definitely addiction is name of no controlling. Winning first can make them feel invincible but losses are inevitable and can be devastating and can give anxiety. It is very good for players to understand that luck is temporary and to be aware of risks involved in gambling.

It's quite strange if someone makes gambling as a hobby or also as an activity to make money, I just gamble to get pleasure without feeling the need to always gamble. I'm sure no one considers gambling as a hobby even if anyone says so I think because he doesn't have the right words to describe why he always wants to gamble.
Gambling can disrupt society and a small circle of families, and when more families are disturbed by gambling then it will start to disrupt a larger circle.
Gamblers must know that the activities they do are quite risky, not only the risk of losing money but also their minds because they are too involved in gambling, so they must be responsible for what they do.

In general, we can agree that gambling can be potentially dangerous. This is why a gambler must adhere to responsible behavior. But if we look around, we see a huge number of things that can potentially harm us. For example, almost all cutting and stabbing tools, such as knives, jigsaws, circular saws, and axes, are all potentially dangerous. Everything related to fire, gas and electricity is also dangerous. But does this mean that these things should be prohibited? I could also tell you about pharmaceuticals. Every medicine has many side effects. For example, drugs that slow the heart's rhythm can cause cardiac arrest. But nevertheless, it does not occur to anyone to prohibit it. I think it's the same story with gambling.

Gambling is a very serious addiction once addicted to gambling one can never quit gambling. We should always try to stay away from gambling. I know people who start gambling in the first place take gambling as entertainment.  There is. They don't even know when they become addicted to gambling. We all should take gambling as entertainment. Gambling can never become addiction.

Anything that has the potential to cause addiction to society, if it is not regulated and given proper education about it, will have a negative effect on society - especially for people with low education. So the casino is actually not bad for society, only if it is regulated and people are given a good understanding of it by gambling responsibly and properly managing their finances. And it also goes back to the individual, because people who have good education and good self-control are less likely to be exposed to irresponsible gambling and become gambling addicts.

I don't know about that. Even a highly educated person can be a victim of gambling addiction. It's not about being educated or not, it's about how one person can control his emotions when it comes to gambling, and sometimes those who are in the poor district are more disciplined than others who are educated and rich. They know when to stop because they know how it feels to have nothing. I won't really use that as a comparison to see who is better or not.
When it comes to managing finances, oh hell yeah, the poor people are good at it because they have to create a good budget so they can still eat the next day.

I can’t speak for other countries, but at least here in the United States, gambling has some positive effects to go along with the typical negatives. For example, our lottery system generates money that helps fund our education system. Call it a tax on people who are bad at math to pay to educate others to be better. :)

Well said. When people talk about gambling, all the mention and remember how people lose money. But people barely pay attention how much tax is being paid. People never pay attention on a win. For many gambling = loosing. They never realize how huge industry is, how many employees work for gambling industry, they dont realize how huge money flows are. All the see that another reckless guy went greedy and lost his last 20 bucks while wishing to become a millionaire. Gambling is not only about one person loosing money. Take Vegas for example. Its tourists, entertainment, hotel business. I bet gambling supports sports by ads and etc. Huge industry, lot of money. It cant be just "bad" for society.

I agree on that. Everything has a limit it should attain and if done in excess has a disadvantage. It does not matter whether it is gambling or not. Too much food or water intake also has a bad effect to it. Even excessive excitement can lead to someone's death. Overspending kills but careful driving can save lives. That is the way I see all that. Those who gamble have to know how to manage their risk and passion for it.

A gambling person can never lead well, and every action he takes will have bad results. Currently there are situations where some gamblers spend their entire income on gambling. A gambling addict can never profit and gambling can never win because his target is to win so he fails every time no matter how many times he participates.  And when the income ran out, he later started borrowing from his close friends.  That is why the gambler can never bring any benefit to society because he is always an addict for whom no good can be expected.

An addicted gambler not only harms himself but also proved to be harmful for society because many individuals become addicted to gamblers when they see that their friends are engaged in this activity so gamblers will have some adverse effects.

The family of gamblers is not only suffering from financial loss but is also suffering a lot due to mental distress and burden of the money which they have to give the people because their child or Brother took loan from them.

A gambler who is addicted will not make good use of gambling but will become worse for his family as the time goes therefore we should not hide the bad impacts of an addictive gambler.

I agree with that, especially now that everyone certainly wants to be able to make money quickly, and when one friend gambles and manages to win and the other friends see it, of course the opportunity for them to become interested will be there, because with with small capital they can get more. and clearly this is one of the bad effects of addicts which can have a bad impact on the surrounding community, although not everyone will be interested, but at least I'm sure there will be one or two people who will be interested when they see their own friends succeed in winning by gambling.

Gambling addiction will of course affect many things that will be harmed, and when in a family there is one person who is addicted to gambling, of course their finances can be affected, especially if the person who is addicted is the head of the household, of course it is not only finances that will be a problem. but even relationships will fall apart. I agree with what you say, indeed with the many cases regarding the bad effects of gambling this should be a lesson, one of which is the news in my country that there is a husband and wife who can be said to be authoritative because of their work, but this family is destroyed because the husband is addicted to gambling. I hope this case can make many people aware not to gamble excessively.

What about alcohol? Is it bad for society? Then what about number of families it has helped to build? :D (ok, as well as to break) In the situation with gambling it depends on how we look on it. If we consider it as a money losing activity, then it is definitely bad. But if we consider it as entertainment, then why not? However, I think we will never have a clear understanding if it is bad or good for society. One just can not exist without other nowadays. It is taxes, working places, money turnover. All that is healthy for society. Imho, I would say that it is good. Your might never gamble, but with taxes from gambling police, doctors and firefighters get their salary, you get your road fixed with money from taxes and etc. But why it might be bad? Because someone has lost all of his money, imho that is not a society problem, but a problem of an individual.

Yeah, as with everything in life, gambling should be done in moderation.

It's the same with the example of alcohol you mentioned. Moderation is key, if you drink too much you can end up in a bad place.

Same with gambling, if you lose all your money then it's not fun any more.

I completely would agree with you, gambling is not bad for the society, already many sees it as a fun fact to engage in but yet their are those who also abuse it by making it their source of income or getting addicted that ends up draining every penny they have, some might even end up selling off their properties while some will also take loans just to quench their taste for gambling and this has brought about the bad opposition from the society.

Since there are people who do everything that you said then gambling might be bad for the society because all this things are not good for the progress of the society. There are many people abusing gambling and this is not good because this are still the people that stay in the society and they can make the society not to be safe because after gambling all their money, they might end up going to steal and make their society not to be safe which will make investors to stay away from the society because they know that their business will not make sales in a society that is not peaceful and full of crimes. Gambling has alot of negative effects on the society because gambling does more harm to the people gambling tham it will help them as alot of people are only gambling because they want to make money.

If you are someone whose really that been dealing up with gambling and have tons of friends or someone knows you then it would really be that having that high probability that you could really be able to influence others on playing gambling and since we do know that each person is really that different when it comes to their approaches towards gambling then actions and decisions be made will differ or vary.
Some could really be able to have that good control into theirselves but there would really be those people who would really be able not to make such good decisions in terms of moderation and control.

Gambling isnt really that bad literally, it is really just that things turns out to be bad at the moment that you would really be making bad actions basing up into those delusional approach that you do have with gambling.
Its not bad to soceity considering that it is really that getting that huge revenue on which simply shows that it would economically be that beneficial but in speaking about personal conditions or situations
then it could mess up someones life if they wont really be that good when it comes to decision making and that having that good control towards it.

If society knows how to use gambling properly, they will not face a problems. They can playing gambling with other people in that society without worry if they will gets addicted to gambling. They can treat gambling as an entertainment and will stops if they thinks it's enough playing gambling. They will not playing gambling too often because they knows the risks behinds playing gambling.

The society will teach every one their environment to use gambling moderately so they will not gets the bad things from gambling which is addicted to gambling. They will not lets other people use much money when they playing gambling together and will stops playing gambling when people wants to chase more winning because that's a start for being greedy and they will not allow happens to their society.

I have seen many gamblers in my community living a very poor life who depend solely on gambling to support their families. They basically chose gambling as one of the main source of income and without any alternative source of income they depend on gambling only to support the family thus the family members lead a very poor life. Society I left out but considering only the family, gambling can in no way be a suitable profession to support the family but can only be a source of enjoyment for a gambler. A society certainly expects good contribution from a citizen but society can never expect anything good from a gambler. Society can't expect anything good and a family can't expect prosperity from that gambler. So a gambler must keep in mind that he is a valuable asset of the society and the society must expect something valuable from him, so he should never waste anything valuable by engaging in gambling.

To be able to achieve what the gambling wants seems difficult, because the chances of victory are smaller than the chances of defeat. In addition, if the gambling is done with the aim of producing a win or indeed we pursue victory, frustration can occur due to the defeat that will occur. We must be able to have security when gambling such as limits and be aware not to gamble excessively when you have lost, do not let us lose self-control or self-confidence when gambling and also do not be too confident when gambling, because it can cause actions that are not considered first and that are at great risk.

It is true that if gambling is done in a healthy way such as doing it just for fun and not upset by the losses that occur then there may not be a big problem such as the feeling of wanting to recover losses or chasing losses. But unfortunately, people also have mouths and eyes where they can see and comment on someone who is gambling, even though they are not harmed, you know that humans like to interfere in other people's business.

If society knows how to use gambling properly, they will not face a problems. They can playing gambling with other people in that society without worry if they will gets addicted to gambling. They can treat gambling as an entertainment and will stops if they thinks it's enough playing gambling.

No matter how the society may address the issue of gambling addiction, there are those who would still defy to those instructions. Gambling is very much easy compared with back then, our phones are simple medium to use while at home and since there is no limit or restrictions to the amount one can deposit to gamble then it is more of a personal choice to decide. It is also a good innovative but it is more of a personal decision.

Gambling is bad for some in society, and it's bringing about positive change for others too. In the same society, everything is based on who the gambler is and their level of composure.
 
If it's for those who have gambled almost all their lives and have used it as a means to generate wealth but rather end up losing the little that they have, we can consider such people as the bad eggs we have in gambling.

Indeed. Gambling itself is not bad, since the gamblers are the ones to decide how they want gambling influence them. Playing to gain wealth is one of the reason why some gamblers are affected negatively. Because this mindset can bring them to more losses, having such desire with a little money you have can only cause big problem.

Gambling can't promise to make you rich, it's a way to entertain ourselves with an incentives if you are lucky. However the possiblity of becoming addicted due to wrong approach and treatment are the few reasons why our society had a bad impression towards it.

There are no good without evil. Everything to do has the positive and negative side of it and it depends on us to choose a side. Gambling cannot be completely bad to the society since there are no literal effect of it. It is the people who gamble that choose to allow it affect them due to there bad habits in gambling. Once the addiction increases and they become irresponsible gamblers that's when their response to things start affecting them and there loved ones including there families.

for me it's because of the bad habits towards it that's why they think it's bad to the society, those set of people who get addicted are the ones which the society give examples of. Gambling have good and bad side but if you look at the bad side you'll think it's not helping in the society, but if you look at the good side then you'll know that gambling is really helping in the society so their is nothing that doesn't have an effect. But you only you chose to know your limits and know the good side of it, that's all about it.

Gambling have done harm and good to the society, society is made up of people which some gamble in casinos. Gambling might be bad to some, same time good to others, I believe gambling have not done any harm to the society neither has any good come out from gambling any results received is a by-product of action by the gambler.
We blame what we have control over as what causes harm meanwhile we are the ones that contribute and make it up.

No matter how the society may address the issue of gambling addiction, there are those who would still defy to those instructions.

I don't know how much priority is given to gambling in other countries of the world, but gambling is still hated in our country's society(Despite declaring the casino site legit) Even gamblers are not liked by anyone.

Is gambling bad for people that people suffer most financially through gambling which has an adverse effect on society. A person with excessive gambling addiction may become involved in criminal activities such as theft and robbery due to gambling addiction. Gambling addicts are not only hated in the society, but they are also hated in the family because they put their family in a lot of financial problems. Many gamblers end up in debt, which they later sell their family's property to repay. This is why gamblers are labeled as bad people in society.

Sometimes when we play and assume certain behaviors we must do everything possible to ensure that things are done correctly, therefore we will always generate different ways of doing things, the maturity of our thinking is something that is decisive in a casino, in this case we must always consider doing things well, for example in a society it is always good to keep up appearances, but people will always have criticism, and generally they are destructive criticisms, so in a casino we must at all times have maturity to accept either winning or losing, and that is only what society sees, and if you are a person who collapses very easily with the bad things that happen in a casino, then that is the first thing that the most critical of a society will see.

Well, when someone loses and finances become tighter than ever, ideas of appropriation and theft occur and of course, that will affect society and we can also consider that gambling has played a part in this outcome but don't forget that this is only the result of losers, without these losers, other normal people would sometimes also become thieves or robbers because of the financial regime. On the other hand, winners and profiters still cultivate benefits for this society, more money will be applied to higher taxes as well as more spending and that is also an opportunity for many business people, gambling destroys but also regenerates society

it is seen badly in many countries due to the restrictive and prohibitive laws that exist, look at China for example, in my opinion, by doing so they make things worse because then that crime ring is created around what is a movement that brings in a lot of money, you know the bets they pay well and therefore everyone wants to get into it, it must be regulated otherwise then everyone does as they please, regarding the states that allow it then it must be said that they take advantage of it by leveraging older people who lose control over the games or by making it become We're all gambling addicts, we need to get our act together

Actually for me, I don't think gambling is bad influence to the society but it depends on how individuals handle gambling.

That is why it's advisable to gamble responsibly and also gamble with what we can afford to lose, also know that gambling is all about luck and chance and not a game of where one can become rich through it and also if we find ourselves to be an addict, we shouldn't hesitate to seek for help and support with from our loved ones or from counselor.

That way will help us to reduce the rate in which we gamble, because if we gamble irresponsibly it can lead or cause us some damages in our lives, such as depression etc which can also lead someone to have mental disorder.

Yes, that's right, because the actions we take will certainly lead and produce something, we need to pay attention to this because if we do something with the wrong steps or without thinking about it, the results might be bad for us. I agree with you, maturity of thought is one of the things that must be done, because that will determine what kind of results we will produce in the future. Usually people who have gambled or are currently gambling, they cannot think clearly until they make mistakes because they were not considered first. With the many cases of loss that occur, perhaps it is one of the results of actions or things that were done without considering it first.

I think that many gamblers lose money beyond their capabilities, because they don't have good thinking or don't have good maturity so they can't accept the losses that occur, which ultimately makes them trapped in gambling and it's difficult to get out. By getting trapped in a gambling addiction slowly and over time they will see bad changes and can harm other people.

for me it's because of the bad habits towards it that's why they think it's bad to the society, those set of people who get addicted are the ones which the society give examples of. Gambling have good and bad side but if you look at the bad side you'll think it's not helping in the society, but if you look at the good side then you'll know that gambling is really helping in the society so their is nothing that doesn't have an effect. But you only you chose to know your limits and know the good side of it, that's all about it.

You are correct @Ojinga. Those people that castigate gambling uses addicted gamblers ascit an example for the what bad effect gambling has in the society, they don't realize the good effect it has too. Gambling have luckily made some people become millionaire and some people misused the opportunity.

for me it's because of the bad habits towards it that's why they think it's bad to the society, those set of people who get addicted are the ones which the society give examples of. Gambling have good and bad side but if you look at the bad side you'll think it's not helping in the society, but if you look at the good side then you'll know that gambling is really helping in the society so their is nothing that doesn't have an effect. But you only you chose to know your limits and know the good side of it, that's all about it.

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

So with all this I think if they put an restrictions on gambling it's not a bad idea at all, first why is gambling a problem?

Gambling can stimulate the brain's rewards system much like drugs or alcohol can, leading to addiction. If you have a problem with compulsive gambling, you may continually chase bets that lead to losses, use up savings and create debt.

You may hide your behavior and even turn to theft or fraud to support your addiction. So with my conclusion and my observation towards this gambling is really cousin harm to the life of those ones who are addicted to it most their families.

 Secondly what are the social problem caused by gambling?
(1) Depression and suicide
(2) bankruptcy, family-break up
(3) domestic abuse
(4) assault, fraud
(5) theft, and even homeless
Addiction to gambling is link to a range of serious personal and social harm such as those things I mentioned. These effects can be devastating to the individual as well as their friends, family, workplaces and community.

This are the harms and with all this are the reasons why, they see people who gambles as a distraction towards the society and the most people who are into all this are the addicted ones. So how is gambling harmful to the society, ills associate with problem gamblers are widespread and often go beyond and addition to gambling.

People who gambles can be at risk of this following categories of harm.
(1) Financial harms
(2) Erosion of savings
(3) Filling for bankruptcy
(4) Relationship conflicts
(5) Neglect of relationship with significant other
(6) Neglect of relationship with children
(7) Extend family and friends
(8) Social isolation
(9) Emotional or psychological distress

So I don't really blame the people who sees gambling as a bad thing to the society, meanwhile If the younger ones take of the steps of being addicted don't you think they'll experience all this as well. So gambling it's bad to the society nevertheless it's also helping in the other hands, to ones which are benefiting and earning from it.

What is the mindset of a gambler? On my opinion pathological gamblers play the cope with a life stresses. Near-misses and personal choice give some gamblers a sense of control, winning money. Others believe they can beat the casino and win real money.

So the mindset are those things that attract harm to them and the society because they are focused on the money, and that's why I said it's also helping some people in other hands and it's also killing some people right now in the society. Behavior also involves that makes it look bad to the society, while trying to get back lost money by gambling more( chasing losses) lying to family members or other to hide the extent of your gambling.

Risking or losing important relationships, a job, or school or work opportunities because of gambling. Asking others to bail you out of financial trouble cause you have gambled money away.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

Gambling is generally very harmful to an individual, because if a gambler participates in gambling, he is doing wrong from the society's point of view. Because a gambler is an abomination in the eyes of society, and among them if he becomes addicted again becomes the worst cause. As you can see, a gambling addict can never contribute to society. And a threat to the family, he tries to make gambling losses more than what he normally earns. That is why he is identified as a bad person in the eyes of the society.

A gambling addict certainly cannot hold his own position in the society as society always looks at him differently. A gambling addict never tries to realize that five people are criticizing him or reacting badly to him. An addicted person is always focused on gambling and does not even consider the money he is constantly losing. Gambling destroys people's lives just as terminal cancer takes its place in the human body and slowly leads to death, just like gambling destroys people's lives slowly.

Gambling always had bad publicity in the society. It's not new that gamblers are being seen as outlaws in some part of civilized world. While the problem to this issue is attributed to what you just mentioned above. It's clear that not everybody is aware of the nice aspects of gambling because this has been clouded by the bad doings it has caused to people. Hence in the society most players undergo the trauma of how people see them in the society because they wagger money in casinos. This stigma actually adds to the problem of gamblers which causes the gambling bad publicity revolving in the society.

This stigma actually adds to the problem of gamblers which causes the gambling bad publicity revolving in the society.

Yups and I think the bad stigma that society has towards gambling is no longer strange to hear, and this bad perspective is created due to the actions of gamblers who try to treat gambling in the wrong way which endangers themselves and ultimately experiences many bad impacts and This downturn is known by the public which ultimately makes gambling look very bad in the eyes of the majority of society. I think almost everyone is familiar with the saying that "1000 good deeds will be forgotten with 1 mistake", meaning that although in gambling there are some positive elements that can be useful such as entertaining someone when they are having boring free time with no aim of earning and gambling is full of limits but still, when people find out that they are involved in gambling then of course they will be claimed as someone who has a bad personality because they are involved in gambling. Simply put, whoever you are and even though you gamble responsibly, you still won't be able to escape the bad stigma when society knows this, and this stigma can damage a person's social relationships.

This is no longer what should be asking because there is no job anywhere,the goverment are not trying,they aren't providing enough jobs for their citizens,they relax and allow their citizens to suffer,and this is really appauling.imagine if they should ban betting now,what will youths do? How will most person's survive,or they want everybody to go back to the street and hustle.I can now say that gambling is good for the society because sometimes when things look rough,gamble is the only thing you can turn your attentions to,and it might deliver,if it's your day to smile,then definitely, gamble will be there for you.

Its not just about the money you lose, its the bad decisions, the chasing losses, the lies you tell yourself and others. Its a slippery slope. The occasional few dollars add up to a lot before you realise it. You're not just losing your shirt, you're losing your dignity, your relationships, your life. People must so be educated. They need to learn how to gamble logically, how to set boundaries, and how to quit when ahead. We must demonstrate to them the dangers the psychological traps, the addiction that can destroy lives.

It must be made plain that gambling is not a solution or a fast route to wealth. Pure and straightforward entertainment is what it is. And you have to appreciate it in moderation, much as any other kind of entertainment. Never forget, folks: be intelligent, disciplined, and most importantly, be in control. Dont let gambling control you.

Gambling is hurtful when you go beyond your limit and it's because we see it as an place to make money, when you see it as a place to have fun and money, you wouldn't think about the money all the time and the thoughts of exceeding your limit will never cross your mind. However, generally few people makes money frkm gambling if we want to be honest with ourselves, the rest makes nothing but loss all the time and yet they never give up.

their is nothing the government will do about it, why because if they can look very clearly and the advantage of it to the society. They have to be silent towards it cause most of the youth's are testify towards how gambling is helping in the society were  we are today,  and it's not everyone who's addicted to it and they know the difference between a drugs addict and a gambler addict. So only thing they can do it's for them to put a restriction towards all gambling sites in the world that could also help out in some other ways, but if they think of taking any other strong step towards anything concerning gambling. They won't have more incomes coming in to the economy system so gambling have a good purpose in this world and to the society, but it also have an effects as other things do have as well.

Gambling can't promise to make you rich, it's a way to entertain ourselves with an incentives if you are lucky. However the possiblity of becoming addicted due to wrong approach and treatment are the few reasons why our society had a bad impression towards it.

Gambling is generally very harmful to an individual, because if a gambler participates in gambling, he is doing wrong from the society's point of view. Because a gambler is an abomination in the eyes of society, and among them if he becomes addicted again becomes the worst cause. As you can see, a gambling addict can never contribute to society. And a threat to the family, he tries to make gambling losses more than what he normally earns. That is why he is identified as a bad person in the eyes of the society.

However all of those problems can be avoided by doing something incredibly simple, which is to keep quiet about your gambling habit, after all as long as you are in control of it, no one else but you has any need to know what you do with your free time.

Now, I know that for the people of today I may be asking too much from them, as now people are so used to share everything online, that the concept of privacy is being lost on them, but they have to learn that there are a few things that should not be shared, and at least to me if a person can be severely affected by the decision and opinions of others, then they need to keep their gambling a secret.

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

So with all this I think if they put an restrictions on gambling it's not a bad idea at all, first why is gambling a problem?

It is true that someone who gambles in the community will be viewed badly because basically many people reject this gambling activity if it is carried out in their village.
Gambling which has a negative value, namely it will make someone's life miserable, so it is not easy for this gambling activity to be accepted in the community, it is clear that it will worsen someone's life and the consequences of this gambling activity can cause bad behavior that will emerge from the gambler.
For example, if the gambler often experiences defeat, it is certain that he loses a lot of money there and what will he do? he will try to borrow money everywhere and there are also those who commit crimes such as stealing.
From the conclusion above, it is clear that gambling in the eyes of the community has a very negative value and if someone is determined to do it and is found out by other people, the person may often get negative criticism, if you want to keep gambling, it is better to just hide your activities.

for me it's because of the bad habits towards it that's why they think it's bad to the society, those set of people who get addicted are the ones which the society give examples of. Gambling have good and bad side but if you look at the bad side you'll think it's not helping in the society, but if you look at the good side then you'll know that gambling is really helping in the society so their is nothing that doesn't have an effect. But you only you chose to know your limits and know the good side of it, that's all about it.

Gambler is considered as a harmful individual for a society because gambler does not give any advantage to the society but it puts adverse effects on the people of society. Gambler just lost money due to which he remains empty handed and eventually he starts to do wrong deads which are neither good for him nor for a society.

First of all gamblers start to utilize the money of his family members and if they stop to give them money then they are so addictive that they cannot leave gambling but start to accumulate money from the individuals of a society by adopting wrong strategies so this can create stressful situations in a society.

It is true that most people who gamble, they have done things that can harm themselves and will also have a negative impact on the environment around them if they have become addicted to gambling and for those who have the desire to gamble and do not have the money to gamble, they will certainly carry out actions that are detrimental to society. Those who try to use their family members' money for gambling will of course really disrupt their relationships because they may not be able to pay it back and they may not even be able to pay off the money they have borrowed.

When a gambler gambles on a person's gimmicks and if he can somehow win money once he gambles on gimmicks, he becomes so addicted to gambling that he thinks he can always make money by gambling. But once he wins money and gambles, his confidence doubles up. He gambles twice as much, bets twice as much, gambles twice as much, loses twice as much and returns home empty-handed. So this kind of gambling addiction is not right for anyone. Because gambling addiction leads a person to destruction one by one, everyone should refrain from gambling addiction. A gambling addict becomes so addicted to gambling that he cannot manage his family properly. There is constant chaos in the world so only his family members can understand well how dangerous a gambling addict is to his family.

Gambling is not bad for society, it's just like most other things in life - when it is done in moderation there is no problem. However when people take it too far, start playing every day and get such tunnel vision that they spend all their money on it - that is bad. However the same can be said for other things people do to relax and unwind, like drinking or consuming drugs like cannabis which is becoming increasingly legal. There should be education to all people and effective self exclusion from gambling sites, but that works best with a global program which should be the aim of all governments to work out.

Actually well said my friend and infact it's just that even as people still complain about gambling having a two sided face as humans the negative side will always be the one reflecting more because we are prone to always promoting or getting the best side out of the negative than the positive and that's why no matter how people complain or advice on how gambling can you easily addicted and the ways to go about it so that you won't fall under that group, many people will still fall victim of that side advice and that's just what holds the faith of gambling being seen as negative to the society.

Exactly, your points are good. The reason why some people see gambling as a bad thing in the society is because of how some addicted gambler have made gambling look bad in the eyes of others due to their addiction attitude. If gambling was really that bad in the society, then it would have been banned worldwide.

Without excluding the fact that gambling can help someone to earn profits, gambling is for fun and not to be fully handled as a source of income, it is the majority of people that handle gambling as a source of income that end up losing their senses and become compulsive gamblers.

I have seen people hate gamblers mostly from rural based people. Village and city cultures are different. Most of the people in the village are simple and want to earn money in a simple way by working hard. So they don't want to prioritize gambling and not even gamblers.

I also think that gambling is a bad thing because people are more likely to be harmed by it. People should avoid the temptation to earn money from gambling and focus on earning money by working hard or doing jobs. People may become addicted to gambling by sitting idly and hoping for more greed. Gambling addicts become a bane to the family for which they are hated by every member of the family. If we gamble then it would be reasonable for us to play it for fun and not as an addiction.

~ So gambling it's bad to the society nevertheless it's also helping in the other hands, to ones which are benefiting and earning from it.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

Actually gambling is not always a bad or impactful activity, depending on how one treats it, and I would say that it is about choice, if you choose to gamble occasionally and just for fun without putting any seriousness and expectations then yes maybe you will avoid the bad impact, but if the opposite then yes of course you will end up with addiction which is a bad impact is a sure thing. But as I said above that even if you have good intentions and goals then it does not mean that you can be free from the bad stigma of society, and I did not find another solution other than hiding your gambling activities. Another thing that is unfortunate is that not everyone can use their common sense well to understand and realize that gambling is a risky activity that can never be used as a place to make a living.

Well, if you are not hiding your gambling lifestyle from your religious brothers and sisters, nor are you hiding it from your family, then there is no need to hide unless you know that you are an addicted gambler. My grandfather gambled for a very long time; even at the age of 50, he was still gambling. He didn't hide it from anyone and didn't care what anyone said. It's his life, his money, and his choice to gamble, and he is not an addict, so I believe that's why he didn't feel concerned about anything. If you are a gambler and gambling is not against your religion and you are a responsible gambler, then there is no need to hide it like you said.

Gambling does strange things to players and I've experienced it. Due to the brain power gambling consumes from its participants, players also have in mind to be responsible and at same accomplish their daily tasks. But, gambling can become a barrier to players in a way that it stops them from proficiently executing heir daily business, as a result of tiredness caused by excessive gambling. Sometimes after gaming I'd notice that weakness coming in me and before starting out on a task, I've already gotten exhausted.

And this happens to everyone, including those in the city and villages. It's a general occurrence and they tend to be slammed with harsh words from peeps close to them. Gambling causes harm to people who don't understand how to follow the game. The society is already flooded by gambling talks which is actually not right for most people due to the young people getting to hear talks of players who are addicted and some who won huge amount of money. The later actually intrigues the youngies to try out gambling. Hence, such gambling realities happening in our society is actually affecting the growth of a responsible society where people love and behave adequately well not to harm the emotions of their loved ones.

If someone is gambling with his own money then there is no need to hide his gambling. Because he is not responsible for anything to anyone. And those who depend on other people's money for gambling or have many responsibilities, then it is not possible for him to gamble according to his own freedom. Moreover, nowadays everyone tries to hide their gambling. Gambling does not need to be hidden for those who can manage their gambling by controlling themselves and their families. But there are many families where other members of the family get very worried when they see someone gambling. They consider gambling to be similar to drug addiction. They know that once a person becomes addicted to gambling, the family can suffer greatly.

Gambling always had bad publicity in the society. It's not new that gamblers are being seen as outlaws in some part of civilized world. While the problem to this issue is attributed to what you just mentioned above. It's clear that not everybody is aware of the nice aspects of gambling because this has been clouded by the bad doings it has caused to people.

Addicted gamblers have really caused lots of harm in the society, addicted gamblers are just the ones who make people feel like gambling is a bad activity. If you see what addicted gamblers do, then if you are not really into gambling and you don’t know what gambling is really all about, then you will also think gambling is a bad activity. Crazy things are done by addicted gamblers, whose gambling activities are always affecting their family members and society in general. If everyone gambles responsibly, then society's mentality towards gambling will change, because we all know there is nothing wrong in gambling, just that the addiction is really bad.

Yes the problem is always about the stigma that society has, and in this situation no matter if for example you are a responsible gambler who can manage and control your gambling activities well but it does not mean that it is impossible that in the end people around you or society may still claim that you are someone who has a bad personality as a result of being involved in gambling, And it's true as you said that the bad viewpoint that the community has is formed due to the actions of addicted gamblers who treat gambling in an unreasonable way so that the downturn they experience is increasingly spread and known to the surrounding community.

Actually gambling is not always a bad or impactful activity, depending on how one treats it, and I would say that it is about choice, if you choose to gamble occasionally and just for fun without putting any seriousness and expectations then yes maybe you will avoid the bad impact, but if the opposite then yes of course you will end up with addiction which is a bad impact is a sure thing.

Agreed! Gambling is bad for society when men and women are deeply engaged in gambling. Addiction is a harmful act for society with a gambler's life when people take gambling to earn a lot of money. It's not a fair way to rich overnight. A Gambling addict people are ignored by family, society, and culture. They're ashamed of society for their thinner activity. Everyone needs to know, "How they have come back from a deep addiction to Gambling?"

Even though many people around in the world are winning big amounts from gambling by chance, that's not what makes gambling overall a good thing to the society. It would be stupid to say that people can earn good money from gambling and that's why it's a good thing. This kind of thinking leads to many losses. But why gambling is good is because it's great entertainment, incomparable to others for many. And people need to be entertained. Many of them work hard and they need something they can rest from their hard work with.

Yep, using the government perspective, they're judging what is good and what is bad for society depend on the majority effect. There's always someone can win through gambling, but people forgot if there are a lot people are loss in gambling. Since there are more people who loss than winning, the government see gambling is bad for the society. Not to mention that there are religions that forbid gambling, this makes people who're in that religions will say gambling is bad.

In my opinion you make hasty conclusions about gambling and gamblers. After all, there are enough educated and responsible people in the world who play gambling not to get rich, but to have fun. If someone does not know how to control himself during gambling is not a reason to say that gambling is bad. In fact, it is bad when a person has no understanding that gambling is entertainment, not easy money and insufficient education to analyze their actions and draw conclusions.

Here in our country, gambling often causes the destruction of families, relationships with friends, and doing bad things like stealing and getting into debt.

Gambling can only affect you when you take gambling very serious because it is a desperation in gambling that the make someone to be addicted and gambling and the many people today who is having issues due to their participating in gambling with their loved ones it is as a result of being addicted in gambling that makes or bring the issue to any relationship a serious minded gambler, but from my own understanding it can be controllable when you have a statistics of what you Gambling weekly or monthly and also know your ability of receiving  income monthly or weekly I don't that you will be much influenced or carried away with gambling.

In reality, everything OP mentioned is correct; gambling only becomes bad when it causes bad results in the state of life of a gambler. Here in our country, gambling often causes the destruction of families, relationships with friends, and doing bad things like stealing and getting into debt.

This is what often happens when gambling becomes a tool in the bad use of a gambler's personality. Those who didn't gamble before, when they learned to gamble, suddenly changed their character. Things like this happen often.

Now I remember again our neighbor whose relationship with his family got affected just because of his addiction to gambling.
It isn't only his addiction to gambling that's the reason, but he's also addicted to liquor and cigarettes as well. On the other hand, he doesn't want to work, and he's just begging.

Anyway, gambling is the root cause why it happened for him, and I'm pretty sure that there are many who saw or experienced the same as well. I've also watched some YouTube documentaries regarding gamblers who got addicted to gambling as well, and luckily, they got out of it. It affected their family, it affected them financially, and it affected them mentally as well that some even experienced depression. In general, gambling is bad "ONLY" if you are gambling too much, and spending too much, but if you're only spending a few bucks, and you are okay if you lose it then there's no bad effects of it to you.

I am always very sad to hear that families are fighting because of gambling addiction, especially when there are children in these families.
The fact is that I know many families who are biologically unable to have children, but dream of them. And such people are very decent, they keep themselves in control, and do not have bad habits. But fate turns out that many addict gambler's have children whom they do not appreciate at all. And it's terrible.
Therefore, I think that all of us should appreciate what we have: our relationship with our relatives. And you need to have self-control over your habits.

Yes, children are never to blame for what adults do. I do not understand: how can you even become a player with a strong addiction when there is a child in the family of such a player?
Such a gambler should feel fully responsible for his child, and therefore should not gamble at all. Being a parent is a special status, and even if he has a difficult job, he does not have the right to choose a casino as his hobby, just in order to relieve accumulated stress. You need to take a responsible approach to your life, because the fate of the child depends on it.

Children can't be blame because they don't know anything about gambling but they can becomes curious with gambling if they see many adults people or even their friends playing gambling. If someone becomes addicted to gambling while he have children in his family, that children can see that playing gambling is okay but that truth is not okay because children can follows behind that person to playing gambling.

Soon after children playing gambling, they will find an excitement from gambling and that can makes them difficult to leave gambling. It needs awareness from the society not to playing gambling in front of their children because that can gives a bad effect to their children. We can not imagine how if that society playing gambling together in front of children. That can makes children thinks that they can playing gambling too but they will not thinks about the risks that can happens to them.

Gambling can only affect you when you take gambling very serious because it is a desperation in gambling that the make someone to be addicted and gambling and the many people today who is having issues due to their participating in gambling with their loved ones it is as a result of being addicted in gambling that makes or bring the issue to any relationship a serious minded gambler, but from my own understanding it can be controllable when you have a statistics of what you Gambling weekly or monthly and also know your ability of receiving  income monthly or weekly I don't that you will be much influenced or carried away with gambling.

In reality, everything OP mentioned is correct; gambling only becomes bad when it causes bad results in the state of life of a gambler. Here in our country, gambling often causes the destruction of families, relationships with friends, and doing bad things like stealing and getting into debt.

This is what often happens when gambling becomes a tool in the bad use of a gambler's personality. Those who didn't gamble before, when they learned to gamble, suddenly changed their character. Things like this happen often.

Gambling is not bad for the society,it is good because we all need it to double our income,we need it in times that we are really broke.If they ask someone to tell the importance of gambling,he will be unable to say it be because he is not into gambling.
A poor man won millions of naira in this part of the country,after gambling for so many years without serious win,now God had answered his prayers and he has taken his family away to a place where they will be comfortable.So in which ever way we see it,that it's gambling who has a way to affecting our society positively.

In my opinion you make hasty conclusions about gambling and gamblers. After all, there are enough educated and responsible people in the world who play gambling not to get rich, but to have fun. If someone does not know how to control himself during gambling is not a reason to say that gambling is bad. In fact, it is bad when a person has no understanding that gambling is entertainment, not easy money and insufficient education to analyze their actions and draw conclusions.

Gambling has a different fate, as soon as someone gets addicted, the casino is to be blamed and plenty policies and bad names will be implemented to run the casino down, these people are responsible for their misconducts and not the casino, Any gambling addict should be made responsible for his loses, attitude and misconducts. The earlier people understand that, the better they can both prevent and control situations that emanates from gambling addiction.

I think that many gamblers lose money beyond their capabilities, because they don't have good thinking or don't have good maturity so they can't accept the losses that occur, which ultimately makes them trapped in gambling and it's difficult to get out. By getting trapped in a gambling addiction slowly and over time they will see bad changes and can harm other people.

Today I saw a second post from you in which you directly stated that gambling can lift you out of poverty. Well, is it possible for you personally to ask out how much you have “earned” from gambling? I, of course, understand that for different people, wealth is valued in different amounts, but someone who participates in subscription companies for a few dollars cannot claim that he “works” in gambling. I can understand that this money can be spent on entertainment, but for game work, it is doubtful. So, what is next? I might change my point of view, but don’t you think that if everything were so simple, people would not look for a job with a stable income but would stupidly play in a casino, and that’s it?

And yes, of course, we are always tempted or motivated by the winnings our neighbors have made. But life is such that the more we look away, the less we see the opportunities that are sometimes given to us.

Each person would really be having that different approach when it comes to things on which there are indeed who do play gambling for the sake of fun and there are ones who do tend to make money most out of it on which this is something that will really be that very normal to have in between parties. Outcomes and results would really be that different to each other because to those who are really that chasing up profits on their most
desperate decisions will really be that leading into such huge disaster into their lives. If they arent really that good when it comes on handling their finances then they would really be ending up on sleeping on the streets.
This is why as much as possible, you should really be that careful on how you would really be spending up your money.

Gambling isnt bad as long you do make yourself that responsible then there would really be no issues or problems that you would really be able to encounter. It is really just that people do become that impulsive
and become that irresponsible on the moment that they would really be tending to chase up their loses or on the moment that they become greedy on winning situations.
On the moment that you have become that greedy and out of control then this is where shit do really happens.

It's up to us. If a person is irresponsible, they don't even need to gamble to make shit happen. Once upon a time on the internet I came across an example that perfectly demonstrates that the shit we do is ourselves. We all have kitchen knives at home, and every day in the world people die from kitchen knives, but that's no reason for everyone not to use knives for their intended purpose. Same goes for gambling.

He sounds like because people are addicted to alcohol, alcohol is really bad to the society, there people that drink and do it moderately and there people that do it until they get intoxicated, gambling isn't different from the way alcohol is addicted to people. Anyone can quit alcohol because he thinks it will affect him, the same can go for gambling, it's all about control because you can't say having solo time in gambling is bad, if it's there wouldn't be gambling today because it will be completely ban.

By the way, what's is bad to you might be good to another person but I think government regulates gambling and they all get paid from the revenue generate from you and casino, no matter how much casino pay the government, if it's bad for the society they wouldn't license a single casino and other gambling platforms to offer service for the people.

Thank you for giving clarification there. Addiction to alcohol is the same thing to addiction in gambling. Many people feel it is different when they know that it cause them to make bad decisions in life and poor management of finances. When someone is addicted to alcohol he spend money on buying drinks without thinking to know when to stop. They rather buy for people around them, trying to show off and this is because of the intoxication from the alcohol. And this same thing happens in gambling, an addicted gambler continues gambling not minding whether he is losing or wining.

Secondly what are the social problem caused by gambling?
(1) Depression and suicide
(2) bankruptcy, family-break up
(3) domestic abuse
(4) assault, fraud
(5) theft, and even homeless
Addiction to gambling is link to a range of serious personal and social harm such as those things I mentioned.

People who gambles can be at risk of this following categories of harm.
(1) Financial harms
(2) Erosion of savings
(3) Filling for bankruptcy
(4) Relationship conflicts
(5) Neglect of relationship with significant other
(6) Neglect of relationship with children
(7) Extend family and friends
(8) Social isolation
(9) Emotional or psychological distress

So I don't really blame the people who sees gambling as a bad thing to the society, meanwhile If the younger ones take of the steps of being addicted don't you think they'll experience all this as well.
