I know that many people try to stop gambling or reduce the intensity of their gambling because of several factors such as running out of money, being scolded by their wife, being scolded by their parents, or piling up debts. Irresponsible gambling will make us have bad conditions. I don't hope we will experience something like that because after all gambling is fun and full of challenges

But let's imagine, what kind of conditions might make you stop gambling?

Sincerely I have never heard the thought of what can make me stop gambling since I am not gambling on a large scale but only gamble for the fun of it and nothing more than that,  so most time those around don't know that I gamble and some of which are either novice on what gambling is and also have less concerns about it,  like my wife,  she knows I gamble because I don't hide it from her.

But the sure thing is that she knows I am a responsible gambler and I don't gamble every day and only take it as a lesser activity that may not have any known effect on my well-being at some point so I worry less and don't even have the thought of stopping.

But at some point, if I discover that I am uncontrollably losing money without any result then I will consider quitting or taking a break.

I have tried to stop gambling at some points kn time but it was not easy. Not that I'm addicted to gambling but I tralised there was no point quitting because I have made seriius adjustments in my gambling such that it does not affect me much. As a personal rule, whenever I experience series of losses, o go on a break. I have learnt never to chase losses because it only lead to more losses.

It is possible I will stop when I play over a long range of time and realised winning isn't coming as I expected. While this is possibility, I don't see it happening so soon.

I think a piling up debts and no food in the table to be offered will surely make me quit it. For me having so many debts will discourage a gambler not to gamble or slow it down at least, it may not be that easy but if you really wanted to quit it's your responsibility to take action for yourself. Moreover, in reality we experience that one first before totally regretting it.

Well I'm not much of a gambler, so I probably won't know of any conditions that might make me stop gambling. The only one right now on my mind would be if I loss my phone or get disconnected from the internet for a long period of time.maybe then I will stop gambling till I can get another phone. My parents won't know if I gamble, not until I start showing symptoms of addiction. If they get to know they definitely will force me to stop. But u don't live with them so it's not even possible for them to know.

Financial incapability to gamble and loss of function to mu daily life. First is self explanatory, some might say a gambling addict would be seeking for ways just to gamble but in my case I’d probably stop; depends on your personality by the way. Another is loss of function; if I wouldn’t be able to interact with my friends, do chores, finish my tasks then this would be the time to stop. Of course it won’t be easy in such state but knowing myself I would do things to cope up with the situation. As much as possible never allow yourself to be in such debt before realization knocks on your head ‘coz that would be a different level of struggle.

I stopped gambling for quite a long time. I stopped gambling because I spent all my savings on gambling. Maybe I should have stopped gambling after losing continuously but I realized it too late so I stopped gambling because the situation made it impossible to continue gambling. At that time I wanted to continue gambling and chase my losses but when I had no more money the situation forced me to stop.

Since then I began to realize that gambling must be done responsibly because gambling is full of risks and we can spend a lot of money gambling. If we are in an emotionally and financially unstable condition, it is better to avoid gambling because it will make the situation worse

The main conditions which would lead me to stop completely logging on my accounts and try my luck probably would have something to do with a widespread economical crisis or also some of my family members needing my financial help to pay for important expenses, like medical bills of their rent.
I do not think my future partner or my family would have a problem with my gambling, because I can be mostly a casual or social gambler, so in my opinion, there is s very slim possibility my personal situation could degenerate into me lossing control of what I do and how much I wager at the time. Some very religious friends could try to convince me to get out of it completely, but I am not that easily affected by others opinions of the stuff I like to do for fun.

I have been addicted before and I stopped gambling for a year. As for now, there is nothing that I can think of that can make me stop gambling. Maybe old age if provided that I grow old. I am not addicted anymore and if I got a wife I will be the bread winner and gambling can not lead to my financial problem, so if gambling is only taken just little and not a problem, I do not think spouse will tell me to stop gambling. So with what I see now, I think nothing can make me stop gambling than old age or death.

All of us who are gamblers who enter the casino know that gambling has a very high chance of destroying our personal personalities and also destroying our families in the end if we use it incorrectly. And when we let greediness enter us as gamblers,

That's why there are many reminders to our fellow gamblers to be responsible as much as possible so that we don't lead to having an addiction to it, because most people know that when this happens, it could lead to destroying a family and other reasons. which can also destroy relationships with friends, relatives, and others.

Well, irresponsible gamblers should quit gambling immediately. They cannot control their actions in gambling. If they continue, their relatives and family will leave them. This will be the worst.

As for myself, maybe when I get old, I will stop gambling. I don't want to experience the thrill of old age. Life at that time, I needed to be gentle. I will spend time with my children, grandchildren, and myself. I won't waste my time gambling anymore. All I needed at that time was to take time for my health.

I have outgrown many habits that I never believed I will be able to stop, so I will not be surprised if gambling no longer interest me so much tomorrow as it does today. A lot of things happen with age and one of them is actually a change in interest. Just as drug addicts always find a way to have money to purchase drugs with, gamblers will always find a way to have money to gamble with, so lack of money as a reason to stop gambling will rarely or never be considered a reason to stop gambling to me somehow.

Hi, komisariatku

They are not always bad things as you mention, it is simply that they do not make you want to play, so, that simple. In fact this year I have had stops for weeks, days, due to different circumstances but one of them is that I really don't feel like it, I don't bet out of necessity.

In other more specific areas of the world of bettingAbandoning the game is common among poker players, in fact there is documentation about it, complete books, exceptionally successful guys, but they lost the desire to play overnight and never touched a felt again, neither virtual nor in person. Sometimes there is no specifically dark reason, it just happens.

Well the truth is that every change in behavior is as a result of experience so in as much as most people loves to gamble but there are some things that could happen to them that would make them quit gambling completely, perhaps losing properties because of gambling could also make someone to completely quit gamble because one fof the things about gambling is that while gambling you could hardly feel or realize that there is every possibilities of losing what you intend to use on gambling, so the only time you would realize is after losing.

But although for me I don't think there is something that would cause me to stop gambling because from the first place I'm not a gambling addict and i no when to call it day if I feel I have gambled too much, so I don't even need something to happen to me before I could stop.

No money. I've already made a mindset not to get debts for stuff like my personal enjoyment, which can wait until I have enough so yea, no money. I don't think I'd stop even if my family makes me, I mean I'm a grown-ass man already I think I know how to be financially capable of my money and how I spend it. Other than money, I guess restrictions? If gambling comes to a point where trying to play online became insanely difficult due to regulations that it's not worth the effort, then yea I'm stopping. Or if casinos just outright disappeared for some reason.

In a positive reason? I think if it's all about being rich. I know that many might still continue to gamble if that happens because that's how it is going to be and you've got a lot of resource on your hand so that you can keep gambling. But for someone who's set for life and has seen the hardship of it, I might just stop when I am already rich like I own a bunch of businesses and they're making a lot of money.

That means that I have no time anymore for doing such things because I need to focus on several things and if there will be some recreational activities that I wanna do then that couldn't be gambling but in some sports maybe like what the rich are doing on their pastime. Some may go back to gambling through their older forms that's what it's like to me.

And in a negative point of view, just like what everyone is saying about having no money. You couldn't gamble anymore when you have nothing although some have the demo modes but there is no fun with those. Yes, you gamble and play but you don't stake real money so there's no fun with that unless you are literally having fun with that.

Those men that have been scolded by their wives and threatened to end their relationships. Salute to all of you that have chosen to lie low in gambling and chose your wife so that she'll not worry about anymore if you are a spender and you can't control yourself but at least, your partners or wives managed to control you and helped you with that.  ;D

Waoh nice to hear that you have outgrown some of your negative habits as you mentioned here and also I have some such habits to deal with at some point to be able to come out with a holistic approach that can help you grow up with time and age.

Well having set aside funds for gambling such as other activities that seem to look like a habits since we do them repeatedly and also having them control some of the things we do at some point since it has done on us that gambling addictions is way heavier on it victims than every other form of addictions that we may have around.

Stopping gambling in my case? Then these would be the ff;

1. Completely busy on work/have no time
2. Wife told me to do so
3. Dont have enough budget or extra for me to gamble.

These are the things which it would completely make me stop on doing or playing gambling.
I dont really let myself do really end up on stopping just because i have wrecked myself out. It would be always
better that you should really be doing or having that moderation when it comes to spending.

If  desperately needed all my pennies for my family. I mean, not being able to afford food or necessities for a safe life.

Family comes first in my priorities and i am including myself and my needs on that. At the moment i have some to spare, but that's tightly budjeted as well.
And i wouldn't stop for the rest of my life, but just until the situation, (what ever that might be) is over and we are on the safe waters.

I don't get scolded by my wife as i am not married anymore and my parents are too old to care what i do. I am an adult after all.

Secondly, if i would go over my budget i would stop. Not for the rest of the life but enough time for serious self reflecting.

I have to be really in a bad financial state before I consider stopping it. But, I am not really a gambler who bets in large amounts so I don't think that will happen. And, considering how the RTP works in most gambling sites, even $1 could make you play for an hour or 2 as long as you are not taking the high-risk options in their games.
Another thing that might make me stop is if I feel that I have been spending more time gambling than my work. I'd probably just stay away from it so that  I could become a better employee again. But, that ain't happening yet because I usually stop when my deposit balance is wrecked and also I am using the automatic betting feature of the gambling sites so that I can still do things at the house while it's running in the background.
I don't think my wife will tell me to stop with my hobby because she knows that I am not the type who will spend too much on gambling. So cross that out in considering the cause of gambling termination.

My girlfriend doesn't like it when I am gambling, and sometimes I don't normally gamble if she's around me or if I let her be aware of my gambling lifestyle. Sometimes she can find out, but that doesn't actually cause much of an issue. I don't normally gamble as often as I used to, but despite that, I am getting more serious about setting up my career. The only thing that can get me away from gambling is work, like some time I can travel out of my state to buy goods for my business, and even if I am back, usually I get business to put everything in place. Those are the only things that normally distract me from gambling.

I forgot to think about that problem, Besides the problem of losing or running out of money if we spend too much time and start neglecting work, it is also a bad situation. We can think about taking a break from gambling if conditions like this occur.


It's good to hear that you can manage your gambling responsibly because if you don't, problems are bound to arise. As long as we can manage our finances, there's no point in stopping, but when we feel like we've spent a lot of money, maybe that's the right time for us to take a break.

You love a woman and you like her to be your lifetime partner. It's a lifetime commitment and she doesn't like your gambling habit, you can talk to her to spare that because before you even met her, you're already one.

But are you willing to do that?

IMHO, I'd do that but I am past that situation so it's no longer a thing for me. Financial wise, it's bad to gamble when you have got nothing and that's the condition I guess for me that I'll stop indefinitely.

All of your above-mentioned conditions are enough to make one stop gambling. Starting with issues with my wife and family, which will make me uncomfortable at home, is enough reason for me to call it a stop.
 
If I also don't have enough money to foot my bills and am left alone with left-overs that can be spared for gambling, in order not to start thinking of stealing or borrowing to survive, I will have to stop gambling as well.

If I have a happy home and enough money to gamble with, I still happen to fine myself gambling more than I always expect to be spending, and I lose all the time due to my lack of creativity and skill for game selection, and I don't derive fun gambling as a result of that since I might be focused on the winning rather than the fun, which is not supposed to be so, then I will also consider stopping to gamble.

But what if gambling become a main reason of your failed relationship? are you still willing not to stop just because you are into gambling even before you met her? I don't think so. If you have a good intention and you want to have a healthy relationship with good financial stability with your partner in the future, It's better to stay away on the things that may possibly ruin it. So based on your reply, seems like you'd rather to choose your vices than your partners opinion for your own good.

Since your question is specific,  for me, it is lack of money, from being busy with my work, and if I want to stop, gambling is at the back seat of my life I only gamble whenever it is more convenient and I have the time and spare money, the worst condition to stop gambling is when you are broke from gambling or your health deteriorated because of health.

If you're a responsible gambler you should and can stop gambling whenever you want to stop gambling even if you have the time and the money, you should have it in your mindset that there's more to life than just gambling.

Shortage of funds.  I might temporarily stop gambling if I don't have enough free funds for my gambling activities.  If I keep on lacking funds, I might be not playing gambling for a long time until I have the free money to fund my gambling activity.

Just like any recreational or any activity for entertainment, I only do the activities if I have the free funds to cover it.  So whether I will continue or stop my gambling activity is dependent on the free money in my stash.

I play out of boredom or if I really want to get something out of a game and I'm literally putting money where my mouth is, but if I found a new hobby that will shadow my interests in gambling, that will do it. My financial state is somewhat stable for the next year or so, and I'm not rushing to get more money and will certainly not do it through gambling. So if there's something that will stop me from betting, that will be something that occupies my full interest, and that is a new hobby.

Well you list all the reason on why gamblers decide to stop since that are major factors why people think about quiting. I'm not a total addicted gambler so I can quit anytime if I feel it. But the most common reason on why I did it is provably the funds availability since if I already see that I'm running out of funds then provably will decide to stop gor a while and thinking about to continue especially when losing a lot of money already with gambling. Other reason maybe if my parents would really be against on what I do since I always follow them because they know more better than me. If they see stop then no question will do it since I don't want to get mad at me since they are old and want to respect them also I don't like to give them stress knowing that they are old enough to receive such thing from me. For some people it maybe hard for them to stop even if all the factors are already showing up with them but if they are willing to adjust om everything for sure they can do it if they have thoughts to stop this activity.

Choosing to be able to meet our family's needs will certainly be better than using our money for our own needs in gambling and in gambling we don't necessarily get the win we want, so it's better for us to meet our family's needs first before using the money we have to bet. That's right, it's very difficult to win at gambling, so it would be better if we didn't use the money we have to gamble so that we can't meet the needs of ourselves and our families.

I make always condition to stop gambling in the day they are like rules that I you must do
But to stop gambling forever I think this condition must be major and only one condition who I imagine is when I borrow money to continue gambling
Because for me someone who is in this level he's losing him self and he must stop gambling even there's chance to win but you losing your self

There were a few things that stopped me from gambling, and one of them was the transaction limits set by gambling sites. You'll never know when these sites will start to increase their limits and I had to stop for a while to look for a new site that is low enough for my budget. Another time was when the fees started spiking and some of the sites had no other choice but to increase their fees. It's usually the unexpected things that stop me from gambling now that it's becoming accessible even to smaller players, as some of them would set the lowest limits and accept any deposit amounts.

Accumulating debt may be a strong reason someone stops gambling. The effect of the debt is very large, especially since it has accumulated, the factor of being scolded by the wife and parents because the lender starts collecting debts to the home which makes the wife and parents uncomfortable with their arrival.
Accumulating debt becomes a link in a person's economic condition, as a result of not being free from financial health, it can result in a life full of uncertainty, such as lack of food supplies, insufficient monthly expenses and other household needs are also very limited. Gamble responsibly, no need to force it if money is very limited.

Of course financial problems and also family problems are factors that cause someone to stop gambling, but there are also some people who stop because they realize that gambling is not suitable place for those with adequate mental and financial limitations, even though maybe only one or two people experience this like this.

The majority of gamblers really have difficulty stopping gambling even though they have lost lot of money and also experience problems that arise in the family due to gambling addiction, I sure that if you are gambler too, you can feel how difficult it is to stop gambling even though you have experienced quite lot of problems burdens the mind and mentality.
Most gamblers who can stop only temporarily because at later time they return to gambling again with significant changes such as being more controlled and truly becoming responsible gamblers.

The problem of the difficulty of stopping gambling has been going on for a long time now, I don't know what is effective, but I have never seen a gambler who can really stop and forget about gambling without going back to it.

First, If i'm already struggling financially. Because there's no way to continue playing if I know that I have no money to use for gambling. So it just right to prioritize looking for source of income especially I have a family depending on me. Second is work, currently that's what matters to me and also the reason why I refrain playing for a while because I want to achieve the position that I have been working on for months now.

Last is if gambling became a major issue that I have to choose what's more important between gambling and family. I'd rather stop than losing the latter. Well, they are aware that I gamble though. Anyway, if you're not addicted in gambling then quitting won't be that hard because you're still in control and can handle yourself.

Forever may not be very possible. Once a gambler always a gambler and will find ways with the very little money they got. As long as there are free spins, they will go for it.

Having no job and no money will stop us from gambling. There are buts and ifs for this though.
We have read those guys badly want to gamble still and instead sell their stuff so they can continue betting again so there is this that breaks that condition. Some addicts go to its heights and rob stores or someone on the street to have something to bet.

Maybe financial condition will force me stop gambling. Because finance is the main weapon of gambling. If your financial condition is good then you can take risk but if you have limited and if you lost it then that is too much hard to second time recover it and again start it. That's why I think maybe financial condition force me to stop gambling.

You are stating the most obvious reasons, but there are a lot more... namely :

1. If you feel that you are cheated by the site. RTP (Return to Player) can be configured to take too much from the gamblers.
2. You might have withdrawal issues with the casino.
3. The chat facility might be too moderated and toxic.
4. The casino might have started without KYC verification and they suddenly ask for it.
5. You might become bored with gambling. (Some people need to be stimulated and gambling can become laborious and repetitive.)

So these are just some of the things that can cause you to stop gambling.... there are lots more reason.  ;)

if it's leading me to become uncontrollably addicted to it, that can make me stop it. But what you also need to understand is that if you've been into gambling for a long time, you can't just decide to stop gambling and just stop it like that, it has to be a gradual process where you reduce how frequent you gamble, isolate from sources that will bring you back to the habit and might sometimes require that you talk to a friend about the habit.

But if you are the type that does responsible gambling, it won't be necessary to stop it cause the more you do it, the more experienced you become and some  moment win either win or lose out on a game and this will guide you for future prediction purposes.

- I think there are many factors that can make us stop gambling. For me, that factor is family because family is the most important thing to me. Money can be earned again, but once you lose trust or lose your family, it's almost impossible to regain it.
- I've had a time when I was deeply immersed in sports betting, and I nearly lost my current wife if I had continued with my gambling habits. That period of time helped me realize what's truly important to me.
- Currently, I view gambling as a form of entertainment, and my wife understands that. She allows me to allocate a very small amount of money for it. I consider myself lucky not to have incurred substantial debts when I was addicted to gambling. Otherwise, the consequences could still be affecting me today.

It's easy, if I have a family and a kid to raise and fund his/her education and I am not making a lot of money when that time comes then I would definitely stop gambling altogether, helps with the household finances and many other things could've been used for that money anyways. Another condition I can think of is when I have contracted a disease that will require me to have a medical maintenance to check on the symptoms or slowly treat the said disease, like heart disease or kidney disease, this diseases that I've mentioned are definitely going to make anyone stop gambling. There's probably other conditions out there but these two are the conditions that would definitely make me stop gambling.

Well, I set boundaries and limitations for my gambling sessions. If I reach that point, I force myself to stop playing or gambling, but if you are talking about completely quitting gambling, I don't know if I will be able to quit gambling, and if there's a reason, I still don't know.

Maybe if I don't have money anymore? or I feel I'm keeping on losing and suffering from my losses. Like I said, I can limit myself to gambling, so I know when to stop. If I have a family, of course I need to be more responsible, and losing money is not an option anymore, even for entertainment. But as long as I don't have a family, I guess I will keep on gambling, but with discipline, it's hard for a person to know what will make them quit gambling unless it's too heavy, like being in too much debt, etc. But we know there is a certain point to that.

I will stop gambling maybe because of my future wife if she tells me to stop. Because no matter what, a wife's words need to be listened to for marital harmony, because how can I enjoy my gambling while my wife doesn't like what I do. That could create new problems which I don't want to happen. So instead of adding to the problem, it's better for me to stop gambling.

There will be easy answer for this question and that is when I will don't afford the money for gambling. So that is I will gambling as my as I can afford to lose. Moreover I don't think that if everything is limited within a proper level then I don't think any third person I mean the family person will stop me from gambling. In this case I think if anyone cross his limitation on gambling and that will effect his family then I think that person should stop gambling immediately.

I would just say... just a very serious illness that can prevents me from doing anything ::)

Joking aside, so far the only thing that made me stop betting for a long period was the stress/pressure from the outcome of events.
not so much because large sums were involved, but just because it was "stressing" and I decide to quit for several months :)

I have felt at times when I felt like I was losing more and more, I became increasingly aware that I was going too far and gambling irresponsibly, I once felt chaos at that time when I was gambling beyond my limits so that too much money was spent on a win that I never got, Every time I play I never feel satisfied with the wins I get, I keep gambling until I really feel like I'm losing a lot of money.

Since then I have been gambling, changing my way of gambling for the better and no longer thinking about winning the game, especially against the casino, because I know the dealer will always win, this is a mindset game and I have to play with a healthier mindset, namely considering gambling as just a Just for entertainment, don't be obsessed with chasing anything, play and enjoy the game, think of any winnings as a bonus as long as there is a budget limit, everything will be well controlled.

My real story about trying to stop gambling few years ago when there was a bad pandemic. There was a situation when I have to take care about one of my family members who were affected by the virus badly, I had to spend my money and time more for him so there was no other choice. I did not regret it obviously, but I'm proud of myself that I can be someone useful to my family and on the other side I can reduce my gambling habit a lot since that time. It was like a significant change of my life because I was like a gambler who gambled almost everyday but I could leave it for months. The good effect is that I can reduce my gambling activity a lot (like 80%) than before, although I cant stop it completely.

Yes that's right, basically I also think like that usually those people especially who are already addicted will be able to get out of the gambling zone or just reduce it when they have experienced things that make them really bad especially in their gambling activities, such as maybe experiencing a very big defeat that makes them very stressed because of some other impacts such as stress due to some pressure like you experienced.

Basically anything that makes you realize and get out of the bad activity is a better action that should be done, with that then I say you and they are one of the people who can consider choosing a better decision. And if you still find it difficult to quit the activity I think you still have other ways such as just reducing it, it is better than you continue to suffer with all the disadvantages and pressures of the activity.

It is as simple as being a serial loser.  ;D

If you are gambling without having winnings that can encourage you to keep trying then you will be frustrated to stop or reduce the numbers of times you gamble.

I had to reduce mine because of that. There are times you have high hope of winning a bet but at the end you are unluck with the game and it happens consistently, if you are not an addict and you are not expecting to have it as a source of income, you will be discouraged to continue.

So I believe the major reason to stop gambling is if you are always losing out.

Probably when I have no more extra funds to gamble. Of course, addiction is one thing that we need to control these days regardless if we're on a winning or losing streak.

I remembered the time when I cannot really control myself from gambling and had to borrow money from my friend only to lose it. I felt guilty about it but the good thing is that my salary arrived a few days later and paid my friend back.

In order that I should continue online gambling, I need to have a steady income source every month and not spending way above my limit to control myself. Once I am satisfied with the winnings, I would immediately stop and not being too greedy.

I can see few replies saying if they keep losing for a long period of time they will stop gambling, but there are other thing that's most important to me and should be very important to people too.

The reason why I keep gambling is not because I only want to make money, it's because I can afford to lose money for few gains if they ever come, so assuming I lost my job today, you think I will go gambling the next day? Never, it can never happen, because it's my job that's bringing in good amount of money monthly.

For me to take risks with gambling, trading and investment, my life must be in shape first, get a job and start making money, then I will be able to afford taking some risks, if no way to make money right now gambling is not the solution, remember that gambling is good at taking money away from you, now imagine that all you have as a solution when no new money is coming in is gambling, you will regret your decision.

There you have it, it makes no sense to take risks when there is no income coming from somewhere else for you, how are you going to feel when you lose money? Those who have no jobs are not fit to take any risk in investment and in gambling.

If we are gambling responsibly, it will be very hard to find any condition to warrant our decision to stop gambling, gambling is nothing than having fun, when we are happy with the way we do it, then it turns to be one of our favourite means of getting ourselves being entertained, so why should we quit when others are not complaining neither do we get affected by how we gamble, but maybe old age or sickness may stop us over time.

It's funny that gambling is one of the most addictive habits you could ever get into. A lot of my friends that are into would bitterly speak about their worst moments in gambling and sometimes their positive moments. But whenever they talk about their experiences, they speak more of the worst period than they will speak for the best part of it.

Gambling deals with uncertainty and hope. The uncertainty in trying to win a prediction is what spring the hope in the gambler thereby giving him the impression to win odds. Over 30% of Nigerian adults have gambled and about 53% of them are gambling on a daily basis.

Although Nigerians see gambling as a pastime but one thing that has affected gambling in Nigeria is the lack of strong or stringent regulations thereby giving a loopholes to it. Many companies operate and fold at their own will when they have probably gathered enough money from gamblers and they are nowhere to be found. This has affected many young Nigerians in their lives as they lose huge amounts of money to gambling with no refunds even when they won their odds.

There are so many things I wish to stop especially the ones that have negative health and financial implications. Gambling is not part of them because it has no bad effect on my finances and health. I gamble because of two main reasons which are for entertainment and to make side money. Now I don't see the income from gambling as steady or add it to my budget, but peradventure I have a win it will be channelled to meet some needs. So my main focus is to get some fun and that is why I use an insignificant part of my funds to gamble. I have never thought of borrowing or selling personal belongings to fund my gambling activities. I don't have issues with my health because of gambling this is because I don't gamble with more than I can bear. So I have no business with anxiety, depression and hypertension.

• Legislation: A Change in government policies can make me consider halting my gaming activities. If the government criminalises gambling, then it will be better to stop to avoid sanctions.
• Pressure from spouse: If my partner becomes uncomfortable with gambling and comes up with some genuine reasons, I might consider stopping my gambling activities
• Societal pressure: A political, religious, or educational leader must have to behave in a manner that is acceptable to society. It will be morally wrong for a President, Bishop or Vice Chancellor to be a gambler. Many people see such people as the custodian of the morality of the society. So I might consider quitting if I attain a certain level in life

Let me see.

1. I am married and I don't make decisions on my own anymore, if my partner want me to stop gambling I will have to do it.

2. I am a responsible gambler and I don't always gamble every day, sometimes I takes me weeks to start feeling like gambling again, so if I have to stop it will be because I can't afford the money to gamble that week.

3. The money I use for gambling mostly comes from my personal business, if the situations is getting tighter and no good sales, then I have to stop because I have some responsibility to partake at home, I won't want gambling to get in the way.

I have stop gambling many times before, but I still always go back when I can afford the money, as small as the amount is, sometimes I find it hard to afford it, because like I've said I am not alone and there are some holes that needs to be filled in the family. 

The condition that makes us stop gambling is when all the money is gone and we can't deposit any more money. It is a difficult condition for us to continue gambling because we really don't have any money anymore. And that is a normal condition that someone will experience when gambling, so in that condition, they really can't continue gambling. But this will not stop people who are used to borrowing money from other people because they will borrow more money so they can continue gambling.

But as long as we can control money management for gambling, we will not run out of money for gambling because we know when to stop. We have a lot of time to gamble so we don't need to spend all the money in one day and for that reason, we need to manage the money well so we can gamble another day.

If you have a condition that will make you stop gambling then you are not in control of your behavior as a gambler, a responsible gambler who just treats gambling for entertainment can stop gambling anytime he wants with no condition attached, only those habitual gamblers will set a condition when he should stop gambling.

In fact chronic gamblers are good at making promises and setting conditions on when they should stop but always fail to keep the promise or the condition they set, so if you're a responsible gambler you can stop anytime without the need to set up a condition, you can anytime under any circumstances.

If you're not a gambling addict, I think that it's pretty easy for you to stop gambling due to financial incapability to fund your habit if you're an addict then that's not going to stop you. Your second condition is pretty much a profound and sad one, losing connection with the friends because of your habit is depressing and I think it's depending on someone's personality and will if they'll be able to stop because if the incessant gambling is the cause of that 2nd condition then it's difficult to just simply move away from gambling.

If that's the case, I must say that this is one of the best solution to stop you from gambling but once you get the right hobby for you, you'd better to control you decisions also your spending habit even if it's not for gambling so that you wont be addicted to it. Since you've said that you're gambling out of boredom and you're not rushing to get more money ,  If you have a stable income I can recommend you to explore outdoor activities such as hiking that will also gives you so much benefits both physical and emotional state.

gambling can be something that brings joy for the gamblers, even they do gambling till a level of addiction. so I think one of situations that make us stop gambling is finding another joy with no risk of losing money. This is about psychology. realizing that we can have joy from something is not gambling the main factor for people to stop gambling. environment is also a key factor. anything around us can trigger us to do what people around us are doing.

No money is the big reason and family relationships for me, family comes first to me so if I see that gambling is hindering my relationship with my family then I have to stop, gambling should be fun and stress-free it should not be the reason to sever your ties with your family.

People should know what to prioritize and it should not be gambling, when you prioritize gambling you have the potential to lose everything you have because you cannot keep up with gambling and your relationship, you will go for the other and neglect the other, so if you want to have a peace of mind gambling should be the last in your priorities.

I can only think of three conditions as to why a gambler would stop gambling. The first condition would be the amount of losses, if someone who's lost a lot will tend to either stop gambling or try to find ways to fund their gambling activities which it could get them in a much worse situation where they could get into a spiral of debt. The second condition would be winning such a significant amount which could be life-changing such as winning a jackpot on a lotto, since they've already won such an amount it may lead them to halt their gambling activities and continue with other things as they already have the money to do so. The last condition would be having no time or being busy with other things that they permanently remove gambling as a part of their daily activity such as focusing on work, business or even with their physical or mental health.

But still, even with these three conditions which are losses, winnings, and time management, it will still vary depending on the gambler themselves as if they don't intend to stop gambling, nothing really can stop them.

Honestly, I have not thought of any condition that will make me decide to quit gambling, because there were times that I gave up gambling voluntarily for many reasons like losing huge, getting a job that needed long hours, setting up a business like right now this coming holiday season our family had a seasonal business every holiday so I will allocate more of my time on this business and from posting here so I can only play twice or thrice a week.

Gambling is not my bread and butter and it's not a platform I rely on when I want to be entertained but I'm still attracted to many forms of gambling, when you're a gambler, you are a gambler anytime and any way you want to be.

Each person would really be that different when it comes to their perception and impression towards gambling on which there are ones who could really be able to control themselves on what are the things that they should really gonna do with gambling and there are ones who do really fail on doing so. It is really just that a matter of perception on things because if you do find yourself not to be able to control when it comes to your gambling approach then most likely you would really be messing up with this. Conditions? Why would be needing some conditions if you do able to stop completely if you wanted to?
If you could be able to stop gambling immediate without any conditions then this do really shows or mean that gambling cant be able to control you.

Gambling is never been bad as long you do make yourself that responsible towards your actions on which you wont really be making yourself putting in harm just because of the wrong decisions that you have done.
Most of the time on which people do really get fall into the pit of addiction just because they cant really be able to control themselves.Each person does have that kind of different level of
tolerance when it comes to gambling. If you do really meant on trying out to play gambling for the sake of entertainment then it would be your choice.

This is simple. Gambling should be done at ease, not to be force, not to make me get anxious when playing or make me sad when I lose, I should not feel remorseful over a loss but to be able to move on and make corrections asap where necessary, I should be able to deposit money from my pocket and not go about to borrow funds, u should be able to play when I feel and not be addicted all the time. That's how gambling should be but this is theoretical, many don't do this.

I will stop gambling if I notice some of these signs:

• I will stop gambling when it affects my relationship with others, either finance or romantic or attention towards my partner and friends, gambling must not affect how I related with people. When it does, I will quit quietly without thinking twice about it
• If gambling result to health condition, like having too much anxiety over losses everytime can result to high blood pressure and hypertension, I will give gambling good bye.
• When gambling affect my pocket, to the extent where I will be broke. I will quit. It's only when I'm physically fit that I can fund gambling.

From those listed here I am smart enough to stop when money ends.If anyone else continues after that,then all sort of problems will pile out especially the piling up of debts which can lead to depression and even worse things like suicide.As long as we play with money that we can afford to lose nothing bad will happen and by doing so we will continue to have fun while playing our favorite games in the casino.

For me this is the main condition at which everyone who consider themselves responsible enough should stop immediately.

This is very simple and I believe everyone will agree that we will stop gambling immediately if we lose too big time that earned hard for so many years. I believe this scenario is the only way that will make me stop since I’m just playing so casual which literally almost very hard for some outside factor in my life to become a trigger to my gambling activity stop.

The other setup is when I don’t earn enough from my job that males me financially incapable on gambling. In general, anything that will be related to my finances.

If the financial condition is not good then a person can never gamble. No matter how much he gambles it will never become possible. Those who have enough knowledge about gambling will never risk spending money. Even if the game is fun, it will be difficult to do everything if it goes wrong. Also, if family members put any conditions under pressure then many people will be forced to leave.

There will be nothing to prevent you from continuing to practice gambling if it does not harm the person's financial stability. I think the question would be wiser if we referred to addiction. Meaning the question would be “What conditions might cause you to recover from gambling addiction”.
I believe that changing the circumstances surrounding the person, in addition to providing psychological support from the family or close circle, is what can help the gambling addict get past the beginning stage of stopping gambling, since the beginning period is the most difficult stage in the recovery process, given that the intense practice of gambling falls within the framework of mental illness or what is called “behavioral addiction”. The recovery period is supposed to include a psychological rehabilitation phase that includes activities and practices that the patient performs to help him avoid thoughts that incite him to return to playing.

You're attempting to use gambling as a means of supporting your income, which is something I find objectionable because it encourages you to take on greater risks, which can result in addictions, and you and your family may suffer as a result. Additionally, if you bet a significant sum of money and lose, it will undoubtedly have an impact on you. and from what I have read you must have had quite a number of wins. aside does health conditions it will get to a point where you would have lost too many games I don't think the person needs a prophet to tell them that gambling is not the way they are taking it and if you look at it the problem is always from the gamblers they are too greedy.

Quite an interesting question... And so far I have no plan when I will stop my gambling activities. However, if in the condition that I have to end my gambling activities, then I will immediately end the activity.

And maybe I will stop at a time when my economy and personal finances start to become unstable and deteriorate. I would quit the activity, because gambling is not an activity that can be expected to improve my economic and financial situation.

When someone is experiencing economic and financial problems, sometimes it can affect emotions to become uncontrollable. And playing gambling in a bad emotional state, then this will only result in this gambling activity becoming a detrimental activity. so in conditions like this, I would prefer to end the gambling activity and focus on an effort made to be able to restore my personal economy and finance back to stability.

A gambler can stop his gambling for various reasons. It may be due to the pressure of his family or it may be due to his financial system. But a gambler may stop his gambling from any reason. But overall the most common issue is uncontrolled gambling. When a gambler engages in uncontrolled gambling, he can certainly face various problems. Especially if his life partner plays a negative role. In the case of those who are not yet married, they stop their gambling activities due to various restrictions of their parents. But as no one knows about my gambling activities, I have not faced any such problem. However, when my bankroll is depleted in gambling, I have to stay away from gambling temporarily for financial reasons. Every gambler has different conditions to stop their gambling activities.

That's why you can talk about it if you are not yet willing to give it up.

Things can be solved by talking and with communication and people tend to forget that simple thing because it's all about ego that they're dependent on.

Nah, you have to re-read and understand what I am saying. And that's why there's the question I have left.

I gamble primarily to make money even though I have other things I'm also working on to make money. When I have a big business such that my income will be as big as the money I target to make from gambling, I will not need to continue gambling as that might be like a waste of time or total distraction. Some people might say gambling is fun, I don't share in that philosophy, gambling is purely business and not for fun. There are other ways of catching fun.

Therefore, the only way I will stop gambling is if I become very rich or get to a point where money is no longer something to be worried about.

We should be able to stop gambling when we have experienced a losing streak, but the problem is it is not as easy as imagined because there are still many gamblers who continue gambling even though they have lost in a row. They don't realize that it is a sign for them to stop gambling immediately but instead become increasingly curious about the losses they have experienced. They want to recover their losses by continuing to gamble instead of deciding to stop gambling, which will result in another loss for them. We should try to stop gambling after a losing streak so that we can save the remaining money in our gambling account and use the money to gamble another day. It will also maintain the balance in the allocation of gambling funds that we have made so that we don't deposit excessive money just to gamble.

Normally, gambling is fun for many gamblers. Despite that, some people only gamble for the sake of winning money, but at the same time, they enjoy the fun that comes along with it. It's always difficult to stop something that you have become used to doing regularly, but just like you said, it can take time. But what I think can shift one's attention away from gambling is either a job or business, or maybe any career that the gambler is aware to be a better source of income for them. For me, I don't gamble as often as before, and the reason is because of my other day-to-day activities. Business is so demanding, just like my job, and I have to make some posts on this forum.

Your comment alone remind me of what I was thinking some days back, sometimes I imagine that a lot of gamblers gamble because of money and not only for the fun, however, it might be that more than half of gamblers are gambling for profit making and not fun, I too gamble for money, if I want to have fun I really know were I can get a lot.
I agree with you, when you said gambling is business, yes it is true, if gambling is not a business then gamblers shouldn't have been paying for it, although everyone might be thinking it differently but I don't gamble for fun,,, sometimes I tried to but it is hard.

I don't have to imagine because I quit gambling a long time ago. First rule of gambling is to gamble with what you can afford to lose. Given some situation and unexpected events happening in my life led to me to a place where I can afford to have entertainment with money. Especially gambling. It is not a way of earning money and you can't change your fate using your skills. It happens based on your luck. So I am not willing to lose something where my luck is in the thing determining it.

There are other things that I have faced too. That includes stress anxiety depression. I have lost so much that I was left with nothing and you can say that I was addicted to it. In order to keep myself safe and people around me safe too, I had to quit gambling. The journey wasn't as expected. Maybe I will come back or maybe I won't. Only the future can tell the story. Let's see what happens.

Its always been the primary rule on which you should really be that using the amount or gamble on the money that you can afford to lose.Never ever make yourself
do believe that money making in gambling is easy because this kind of motive in mind would really be just simply making you  desperate person. Its never been that
suggestable on molding up that kind of intent in mind because once you do have this kind of thinking or views then most likely you would really be that
ending up on getting addicted so easily. As for stopping gambling then it would really be entirely depending on you because you are the ones who do have that
overall control towards yourself.

It's hard to say because I've never experienced it and I also know that it's very difficult to stop being addicted to gambling when you're in that situation. Gambling is really just entertainment for me, I don't gamble often so I'm not too addicted to gambling.

But I think that maybe the only thing that will stop me is that I will be piled up with a lot of debt. This is what can stop me from being addicted to gambling, because I'm used to being reprimanded by my parents and my girlfriend. I also know that once you are addicted to gambling you can find a way to gamble.

Yeah, there are gamblers who play for fun and to be entertained, and there are to win money. But this is based on my experienced, I suddenly stop gambling when many years ago, I suddenly lost my job and I don't have enough money to save in the bank to survived. So obviously, I will have to prioritized things with the little money I got in my pocket that time.

So I just quit gambling because of that circumstances, and then I try to apply as soon as I can to have money so that I can bring food in the table for my family. That is the only thing in my mind that time. It was a learning experienced for me though. When I was able to get back and start working, I suddenly lose my enthusiasm to play or at least minimized the budget for my gambling activities.

S straight answer to your question will be low funds, when I no longer have funds enough to spare then I may have to just stop because I don't gamble with money I want to use for something important, I only gamble with spare cash or funds in my account so as not to be emotional.

When I gamble with spare cash, it helps me continually keep my mind in check and be able to gamble responsibly enough unlike gambling with money I intend to use for something else, I could get emotional and get irrational with my decisions and definitely end up not having fun in the rather I may become pained about my losses if it turns against me. So basically I stop when I don't have that spare money with which I can gamble.

Beside being completely broke, many people shall quit from gambling after they become "Rich".
For example, you get a job with decent position and  salary or your bussiness suddenly booming or you married with a rich guy.
Why need to gamble again when you already have a nice income and stable.

At some point,  the only condition that will make me to stop gambling is when gambling becomes illegal in my country,  because aside from being on the other side of the law,  I won't see any other troubles that can come along with my gambling involvement since I have a limit to how far I go all in on them and what I put up,  plus how I have been able to balance my gambling life with family life also,  so this have made me have a balanced ground for long term gambling and unless the government come up one day with regulations that can affect my freedom to gamble freely.

Gambling is not entirely bad,  but excess of it is what shouldn't be encouraged at some point and being also able to approach gambling with a clear mindset and purpose goes a long way also.

This is a very good reason too that has either made some gamblers stop it or slyly they kept gambling out of the knowledge of the wife. Sometimes it leads to quarrelling in the home front if the husband doesn't stop because some women so much detest gambling and don't want the husband doing gambling. They also go as far as advising the husband against gambling friends.

I know of families where the wife complain seriously and cause trouble in the home because the husband gambles. It is surely a source of quarrel in the home if the wife doesn't agree with gambling. And the more reason for such quarrel and fighting is when the man doesn't profit from it but only loses. However, some religious women don't like it also whether the husband profit from it or not.

Your reasons of stopping to gamble is just very funny and you need to work on what you want so that you don't have to become a addict become you make the kind if money you intend to make. Gambling is a risky adventure and we don't have to stress it or do something that would increase our urge to gamble too much. Those that understand how the gambling industry works and have been a long time gambler, it is important we know how to avoid the urge of gambling too much so that it will not affect us a part time or full scale gamblers.

Alot of peeps can't even imagine themselves quitting gambling...
It has been major part of Thier personal lives and they can't effect a change to negate that fact.. the more they try to, the less they succeed..

---

I think for some, it might barely be a "just course of action" to quit gambling from the meanest experiences they've heard of or seen - for others, they may also decide to gamble on Thier hospital beds even at the point of dead.

Sandra 🧑‍🦰

I'm a little dubious about your main reason for actually quitting gambling. And you speculate that "the only condition that will make me quit gambling is when gambling becomes illegal in my country"

Let's swim in the sea of facts. And the fact is that regardless of whether gambling is legal or illegal, the involvement of the public in gambling is tremendous. Some countries in the Asian region, especially Southeast Asian countries, are strongly opposed to gambling activities and consider that this is an illegal activity, but whether this can make their citizens avoid illegal gambling activities. The fact is that this is not the case, public involvement in the world of gambling is very large and even the black market for illegal gambling is thriving in the region. Countries that strictly prohibit gambling, consider illegal gambling activities to be a contagious disease that is very difficult to overcome.

I'm only a little concerned about that, but if the reason behind it is your compliance with the country's rules. I'm very much in favor of that.

And I personally will only stop gambling, when I am in a state where I consider that gambling is no longer an enjoyable activity. Because this reason is in accordance with my main goal when deciding to play gambling, which is to find pleasure.

There are other rich people who still gamble despite having a good and stable state in life. Sometimes gambling is not only based on what your condition is in today's natural generation. There are definitely times when there are gamblers who are only after recreation.

And there are others who want to make money and really win at gambling. Now the question is, why do the rich or others who have become rich gamble still? That's because this may have become a routine for them that their body is already looking for. And because of the addiction that has formed in their personalities,

Actually depends since not all would really be that a gambling fan or someone whose really that been doing gambling for that certain extent on which they are really that basing up
about their interest on it. Not all would really be that a gambler for them to choose on playing into it. If they would really be needing to quit up then for sure they could be able to do so easily
comparing into those people who had been doing gambling for a while on which they are really that cant just easily quit up gambling on point.
It do matters on how long you've been doing gambling and how interested you are but if you are really that not that much in concern on stopping then
it wont really be that a problem.

From the examples you mentioned in this post, I seriously haven't experienced it. First, my wife found out that I like to bet on sports. However, it's not uncommon for my wife to get involved to determine the bankroll I'm betting on. Very natural, she just makes sure that her husband is consistent with what she is doing. Well, don't let yourself run out of money in gambling. I mean, in the sense that you have lost a lot of money, property and so on. Fortunately, I have no debt for the gambling I did.
Regarding parents' issues, I maintain privacy so that they don't find out about this hobby. the reason is simple, I don't want my parents to worry about worries that can cause negative thinking.

Referring to the question you asked in the title of this thread, honestly I can't answer it correctly. because based on the points you said, I am not related to such things. It's possible, I answered it, but in general. I automatically stop gambling when I am in a work environment, responsibility and integrity are part of my principles. I'm sick, or something else that doesn't mean I can access the casino. at least, I have answered it generally.  So, there are still many things that can make us stop gambling activities. the answer will be different, if the point you are asking about is a complete stop to gambling.

The continuous loss will made you to stop the gambling,because it will leads to big loss in the gambling.If your time is bad,it was sure you will force to loss the big money in the gambling.So play the game with the test and run.If your gambling was not good or your tactics was failed,this leads to the big loss in the gambling.The gambling will cause you big loss on the bad luck.So stop gambling once you get the bad luck in gambling.

All the conditions that you mentioned above can make me stop gambling. If my wife is scolding me, then she will have a reason for that. If they don't notice anything bad, I'm sure she won't be doing things like that. Everyone doesn’t like debt, and we all know it’s very bad to be in debt just because of gambling. That's really a bad one. If you are gambling, you should gamble with the amount you can afford to lose, it shouldn’t even get to the level of being indebted. So debt can also make me stop gambling. If you are taking a loan to gamble, then you are already addicted to gambling.
 
I can’t really explain it all, but everything you mentioned above is really worth stopping gambling because of. Some people won’t care if their parents or wives are complaining about their gambling activities, but if they don’t notice anything bad, you won’t be forced to stop gambling, and since they are your family members, you have to listen to them.

I will stop gambling if my records in gambling have not been good consecutively.  For instance, I am always having reoccurring losses which has made me lost everything and maybe landed me in a deep debt and even cost me my relationships, I will call it a quit. We cannot be good in everything  and I'll be deceiving myself if I pretend to believe there are better days ahead.   Every one expects to win whether they are gambling for fun or for the money. My persistent losses in the game is a clear indication that gambling is not for me. If it's not working, it's not working.

I'd stop gambling for anything really. Gambling's not that big for me that I'd only have 2 negotiables before I drop it off lol. I'm a sensible guy and I understand why sometimes things must go, including gambling. I think people should think this way too. The thing about "setting definers for when you'd only stop gambling" puts it at a higher pedestal than what you should normally do, and that gives gambling addiction to me in my opinion. You should be able to drop gambling as easy as dropping that single-player game you've been sinking hours in when you get called for dinner by your mom. Gambling's nothing but a way for you to pass the time and here we are talking as if gambling's the end game entertainment system and we really should set shit for when we'd only allow ourselves to drop it. that's fucking nuts.

I can't see there being really anything or any condition that would lead me to stop gambling.  I do really feel for those who can't control their gambling habits.  I know being addicted to gambling must be an extremely difficult thing to work with.  For me I simply bet enough money to really make a sizable impact one way or the other on my bottom line.

In my case it would be constantly losing a lot, I am a person who believes that when we do something and that thing doesn't work out, we spend a long time making the same mistake, constantly losing, so I stop doing that thing. That's because in my way of thinking, there's no point in continuing to do something that isn't working, so before it hurts me too much, I immediately stop doing that thing. In the case of gambling, it's no different, when I started betting on sports, I lost consecutively for many days, I thought of different ways to bet and not constantly suffer losses. but it was useless, I just lost every day

until after 1 month of being in a losing situation, I decided to stop getting involved with gambling and I spent many years without placing sports bets, without entering a casino. but after many years passed, I went back to online casinos, but this time I already knew what to do, but even with some successes and many mistakes, I realized that there was no point in continuing to bet, so I stopped for a while. In other words, consecutive losses make me stop playing

The only condition that can make me stop gambling is if my wife days that she doesn't want me to gamble anymore and she gives her reasons for that. This is because, I will not allow my gambling activities cause problem in my marriage. I am not a gambling addict as I only gamble with very little % from my income and that has not effect on my monthly pay.

Although, no one can know what will become of us tomorrow and it is only when I am in a situation that will not permit me to gamble that I will give up gambling but apart from that I don't think that I will stop because gambling is one of the means that I use in entertaining myself after the long week stress.

I was very addicted to gambling even few months back but now I have lost all my capital by betting on gambling so I can control myself from gambling day by day . Moreover, another big reason is that my wife has always helped me to get out of this terrible addiction called gambling. I have a son and a daughter and to secure their future I must reserve large funds which gambling cannot do. I must abstain from gambling to ensure my children's future so I don't involve myself in gambling very recently.

As you mentioned the factors earlier, can make us stop gambling because the situation is no longer conducive in the family or finances then the best step is to stop.

If it is an addiction then it will be more difficult to stop, people will act what they want because this is already in direct medicine unless they slowly go to a psychologist to find a solution, if I will gamble because I feel uncomfortable with finances and my family wants to stop, but from all that my family never knew that I was a gambling player, so they thought I didn't do it.

Fortunately, it can still be controlled, I understand this because other things are more important than gambling, so gambling is not every day, when I do it if there is more money.

-    Most wives actually do not want to know that their husbands gamble because other wives think that gambling is not a good game. Maybe because they know that many people have ruined their lives and destroyed their families because of gambling addiction.

But there are other wives who are fine with them if they find out that you won gambling; of course, that's fine because you will give the money you won to your wife.

on my end, i believe i will stop if i know my family is already in trouble and if the kids are also suffering from my habit. we may all have different reasons of stopping a bad addiction, but most of the time, we need to experience something bad in our life before we wake up to the reality.

Definitely, as a man who knows he has a responsibility to carry, he is not supposed to lose self-control to gambling. If you are not so addicted to gambling, something must definitely shift your attention away from gambling; it could be family responsibility, work,  some emotional issues, and so on.

When I was an undergraduate, I visited the casino more often, gambled more often, watched football matches all the time, bet on different clubs, and got speculative a lot. But after I graduated from school, I began to set up my business with the little money I had gathered and some support from relatives. I just saw myself paying less attention to gambling, but it's still difficult to quite permanently.

The only reason which prevent me from gambling is not having funds to do so. I don't care about others opinions over my habits. My family, my wife, my friends and the whole society can be against me, but if I think I should gamble, I would anyway, despite all the negativity around. If you stop doing what you enjoy because of others, you end suppressing your personality to a level you don't know yourself anymore. That is very dangerous and can lead to serious frustrations and diseases in the future.

Of course, you have to be a responsible person who fulfills your appointments, but don't forget giving yourself a break from the daily burden doing thing you really like.

Maybe if my Wife threaten me to divorce ? or my parent will disowned me? lol those sounds stupid but yeah  that will be the only thing that will made me compeltely quit.
I am a responsible gambler so why would I need to quit gambling?

for me that is something irrelative , maybe this is applicable to addicted or those in gambling regularly .

Ok, I presume you're talking about those who got addicted in gambling or those people who have spent a lot of time and money into gambling in a daily or weekly basis.
For a person who still in his sane mind, he'll probably going to stop or minimize his gambling activities if he think he and his family are struggling financially. That should be enough of an indication that you needed to slow down.
Now, for the addicted person, I don't think shortage of money will stop him from continuing to gamble. He can just jump from one loan company to another. The only thing I could think of that will potentially stop him from gambling, is when he gets a severe illness that will immobilize him, other than that I couldn't think of any except death.

Gambling is never approved by my family so no one in my family knows that I gamble. I am not addicted to gambling so there is no question of me quitting gambling. If I ever had to quit gambling, I might have to quit gambling because of other commitments, but I don't think I would have to quit gambling because of financial problems or anything else. As people in my family do not like gambling, if anyone in the family comes to know that I gamble, there may be pressure from the family not to gamble, but I will continue my gambling without informing my family as much as possible. Another thing is that gambling has never had a bad effect on my life so far, so the day I feel that gambling is having a bad effect on my life, I will quit gambling.

That is very simple, if I lost more money than what I had planned then I will stop gambling until I can earn back that amount through my job, each gambler has different standards of what that amount will be, but in my case that amount is on the low side as I am very strict when it comes to my budget and spending more than what I have destined to an activity is something that I cannot ignore, especially when it comes to an activity like gambling in which any slip may cause you to lose a lot of money.

Each gambling site always put if how much transactions they can handle and they also lay a guide if how you can increase those limits. One thing is by doing a KYC and by completing it's advanced level. You know, the one that requires harder documents like proof of payment, proof of address, passport and driver's license. They can also put a notice if they are planning to increase their existing transaction so that their customers can plan ahead and decide if they will continue playing on their site or find a better alternative as early as possible.

It's also best if they can accept different types of payment methods or cryptos so that players can still continue playing on them, as some of these payment methods are much stable and has a lower fee than the other.

We can get any good from gambling except for liesure or pastime. Luck is arguably very difficult to achieve and from that perspective sometimes we think and attempt  to stop. But I personally chose to stop gambling because of my personal priorities. Instead of using my hard earned money and extra money into gambling, it is wise if I use it to invest in something that will surely  give me ROI.

Gambling is always nothing more than just an activity for entertainment and pleasure when you are feeling bored or maybe to fill spare time when off work. Yes of course for the results of gambling always rely on luck, why? because as I said above gambling is nothing more than a pleasure activity and not at all a place to earn income, therefore casinos create the concept that victory will always depend on how lucky you are when playing, isn't what I said very clear? yes, of course it makes perfect sense, just try to think with your common sense logic, and as proof that a lot of those who aim to earn always end up in a slump, instead of getting money but what happens is that the number of defeats is increasing, that's gambling.

On the other hand yes there are some people who finally quit gambling because as you said they see from the point of view that gambling is only always about luck and on the other hand there are also those who are already aware of it but they still do not want to accept the fact that the final result always depends on luck, that's why as a result they will experience a lot of downturns. Well it looks like you have a good mindset my friend, it's better to stop, you definitely will not accept if your hard-earned money is lost in just one gambling session.

There are so many things that can cause one to gamble,but the major one is financial problems.Lack of finance can put one under pressure of looking for a way to get money,and in the process,feel that it's only gambling that can give you quick money.Yes sometimes it gives you quick money,and many atimes,it takes away the little you have.Man is not satisfied with the little he has,that is why we feel that gambling is the only way we can get it fast.
It is very clear to state that gambling has a lot of negative impact on people than positive impacts.I are down to the game,and i'm not thinking of quitting now,untill I  get the win I desire.

Yes, it is a wise thought to stop gambling rather than spending all our hard-earned money because, in the end, we will be the ones in trouble. And investing in something as sure as bitcoin will indeed provide huge returns. That would be better because at least we can hope to get a profit from that investment rather than using the money to gamble where we don't know when we can win. Only defeat will possibly come to us if we gamble, and the loss will get bigger if we cannot control ourselves to stop gambling. We don't need to follow other people who spend a lot of money gambling and hope to win from gambling, especially since we find it difficult to get luck that can help us get that win. Stopping gambling is indeed a wise choice to avoid losing a lot.

It's not just about winning and giving the money to the wife, a spouse should have no problem with their partner gambling as long as the partner is providing everything for the family. A family would need money and time from the man of the family, and if he is providing those things to them, they wouldn't or shouldn't have a problem with what they do as an extra activity that they might like and aren't addicted to it and wasting their time and money on it.

I don't consider time and money to be wasted if it's extra and is being used in something that you enjoy doing because everyone has the right to have some fun. By extra, I mean that the time and money being used for gambling aren't supposed to be used somewhere else, if you've spent time with family and have provided everything needed and still have money and time left, you can enjoy yourself and your family should have no issues with that.

Also as long as that habit of gambling doesn't have an effect on the family as well, some gamblers once they lose at gambling, can't control their emotions and mental thinking so sometimes they put those emotions to the family which is the worst, where sometimes they are suddenly becoming cold, rude and etc. And the fact that the gambler itself doesn't have negative effects on him as well, cause who's gonna take care of the husband when he gets depressed, addicted, or any kinds of negative effects of gambling to a person? It is the family, right? It is more like sound as a burden to them. There's nothing wrong with having fun cause some people afford to gamble some spare money since they are financially enough to provide all the needs of their family. Cause if you are gambling and don't provide some money for the food on the table, then it's normal for the wives to be mad.

so far there are no conditions that force me to stop gambling, my parents and my girlfriend don't bother with my gambling. but maybe in the future, whether due to worsening financial conditions or increasing debts caused either by my gambling or other things, which make me frustrated, maybe i will stop gambling. but hopefully that won't happen because i don't hope that i will stop gambling because this is a game that i play every weekend and it gives me entertainment a little thrill.

A pro tip for you, just keep a certain portion of money allocated separately for gambling and you will never face a loss other than the amount you have put aside for gambling. This way, even in days when you are on the losing side, you will never face a situation where you keep playing and lose the money that was allocated for something special or day to day expenses of your life.

Another benefit of keeping the gambling money away from your other income is that you will never become addicted. As soon as your gambling income gets exhausted, you will quit for that time.

Since all people are not equal, there are also great differences in their thinking. Many people say what your wife said. Because many compare gambling to drug addiction. Some call it even worse. Your wife has no idea about gambling but she may have heard or observed these things from where. Because for those who are addicted gamblers and come from families that are not financially sound, gambling addiction can be fatal. Perhaps it is with these reasons in mind that he advises people to stay away from gambling. But it is true that not all wives behave the same. There are many who despise their husband and even after knowing about his gambling, they do not stop him from gambling. But in most cases everyone wants to stay away from gambling.

My wife already knows that I Gamble. As a matter of fact I have taken her and showing her how it looks like gambling on several casino websites. However once my gambling habits affects my core values abs principles , things that I hold in high value like family, work, work in the community, that is enough conditions to stop gambling.

It is really that something good to look at if your wife does really know on what you are doing. If you are a gambler then she knows on the things that you've been doing then you wont really be hesitating
on what are the things that you've been doing but of course you would be needing to approach whether this one is really just that fine or would really be that against into here liking because
this is where problems do really start on which on the time that you would really be that you've been doing or having some secret into your wife. Its always better and much
preferred that you wont really be hiding something.

Stopping gambling would really be that entirely be depending on you because there are individuals who cant really be able to control themselves
and this is where problem do starts on which they cant really be able to make themselves assess whether its wrong or not.

At this point of time, I'm willing to quit gambling if there's a really negative things that won't make me do gambling. One example of it is having fights with my wife or having emotional struggles because of doing gambling. If I were still an addict, I don't think that I will quit even there's some negative things affecting me but yeah, I've changed and move over on my gambling addiction. There are people who find this a challenge to quit but try reducing your gambling activities, you'll realize that there are other things that can give impact into your life other than gambling and you won't suffer from negative things such as emotional struggles and finance(it depends).

OP stopping gambling is not an easy task. I have tried doing such but it seems a no no. I am not an addict neither a I addicted to gambling but I just play for fun not for profit but if I win I take it so and be happy so if it happens the other way round I do not bother myself because I don not play with the mindset of must win so that if it happens either way, I accept the result and move on with it. I do not gamble that often that I would be thinking of it every moment to the point of it becoming a habit or lifestyle. Ii am guided when it comes to that aspect of my life. I do not step beyond boundaries because I regularly make plans for myself.

In essence, you only have to stop gambling when gambling has had a bad impact on you and your life. The impact on your financial situation, the impact on your social relationships and the impact on your mental health must be taken into account, and if it starts to feel bad then stop if you can.

Responsible gambling is certainly expected by most gamblers, but it is just a figure that is often said but is difficult to achieve. I don't know, gambling should be considered a way for some people to have fun, but gambling is also bad for those who fail to control themselves. Be wise if you gamble, meaning don't make gambling your main source of income, let alone your main job.

But this requires you to realize that gambling does have a bad impact on your life. I think similar to other drugs or alcohol, gambling can have an impact that is suppressing other important things in life slowly, which makes it hard to realize that negative impact for some players. Financial losses are easily noticed because the money is missing, but when players start to neglect their social relationships, the impact could be felt differently. A lot of honesty towards oneself is needed to figure out whether something is bad or not and that's the same for other things we do for pleasure.

I'm always on the lookout for what is making me break the limits on what things I've set a margin to. For instance, if I have a budget on gambling and for some reason I notice that I have started going off budget, I will call it quit for a period of time that allows me to see a disconnect between me and the gambling habit.
Self control has to be the key if you must control gambling.

You are correct because why some people stop gambling is because of they have no funds again to continue gambling and when they don't have money and they are aged and it makes some people to be discouraged in playing gambling, and sometimes it quite nice and understanding that gambling needs someone who is having money and someone who is actually young, some people who is up 70 years old doesn't participate in gambling like age because they lack focus and interest in gambling, so money can not make them to sto gambling, they are already retired by losing attraction in gambling

Self-control is very important in gambling as we'd never say that gambling was wrong unless we got out of limitation. We don't need to borrow money for this sake and we don't have to compromise our finances as this will cause more problems including family relationships. It is indeed we need to know when to stop and stick to our limit and most of all, we need to carry an attitude of being a responsible gambler who knows the welfare of their family, not just seeing their addiction to gambling.

I think what could make someone who’s an average income earner to either pause or quit entirely is mostly the finances of the individual.
For a couple, when the income earned which should ordinarily be enough with some left over for savings to cater for the needs and expenses of the family, suddenly isn’t nearly enough anymore cause of the gambling habits of the husband, the spouse would obviously have problems with the particular habit that’s beginning to affect the entire household.
I think the lack of financial resources to comfortably manage a gambling habit is a major factor on why individuals finally decide or are coerced by family and friends to quit such habits.

I feel for you, especially where you speak of chasing losses. Did you not have any mentor or guide? Because it sounds like you were gambling all on your own and didn’t have someone who could advice you. Even a friend who doesn’t gamble should be able to tell you that you don’t chase losses. In life generally, it is useless and a waste of time to chase losses because the most likely outcome that the desperation comes with is more losses (which is what happened to you).

Yes, it's true, stopping gambling is a difficult thing to do, especially if we have been gambling for years. However, I once experienced a condition that made me unable to continue gambling because I ran out of money. I had almost nothing and almost borrowed money to gamble. So in my opinion, when we really don't have any more money, that's when we have to stop gambling, we should even think about stopping or taking a break if within a few days we experience continuous losses.

Even though stopping gambling is difficult, we have to do it and have control over ourselves because when we don't have control we will fall into bad situations and end up worse.

I don't even know if I get your statement correctly, but based on what I understand, you will only stop to gamble if you have gotten to the stage where you can no longer provide for your gambling bills or if you have already stopped gambling due to a lack of income, which you might need to borrow in order to sponsor that lifestyle. Whichever one you said
 
On any given day, you should not even consider gambling if you do not have the money available to do so. Gambling can be extremely addictive and cause severe financial hardship, so it is crucial to gamble responsibly.
 
Booking a game or predicting some games, as we call it, when the money is not readily available can lead one into begging, stealing, and even borrowing. That's when you have where to borrow from, so it's best to leave the casino and never even make any bet on credit with the intention of paying back when you win a game, as such debts have to be paid back to the person from whom they were borrowed.

I believe circumstances occurs which makes or calls for limitations to some excesses. Just as you have said, about being broke which made you to Stop gambling for a while and I think this situations also makes one withdraw from some certain things they do so as to save themselves from unnecessary pressure and ease them of some stress of engagements such as this we are talking about here.
Taking decisions matters as it has to do with individual resolutions that would cause changes in ones lifestyle and that is still applicable to gambling too.

For me it's quite simple. If I don't have money to bet , I won't even open the website because I know from start that gambling the money I don't have can turn out quickly into a bad habit so I remind myself this everytime I want to gamble and I don't have the money. To stop gambling it's the same ...no money to spare = no money to bet but I know a lot of people who are making debts just to place a freaking bet and it's sad to see this.

those who are making debts just to play gambling are those person who's suffering in an obesession in gambling which ia unhealthy in their physical and menral health, If it's easy for you to quit gambling when you dont have money, then congrats because you're on your mind and you know what you should supposed to do if you ran out of money. Most improtantly, know your priorities rathen than your own happiness and vices in life.

Health, if I have a disease that can be caused or triggered while gamble, sadly I will stop to gamble since I care with my body.

What am thinking is the disease like heart attack where you should to avoid anything that increase your heart beat, get surprised or something like that. Imagine if I gamble and hit the jackpot, pretty sure I will be surprised at that time.

Changing ones habit is not an easy task. It happens is that, I was in the same situation as you..not addict but I gambled a lot. But look at me now. I don't gamble as much as used to be. Maybe once in a week, when the weekends start. Like when grown mens gather after a long work week and take a day off.

The only reason I reduced/abandoned my gambling habit is because of my children. I don't want them to be a gambling addict. I know how far gambling addiction can get. So I don't gamble in front of them, mostly I don't gamble much. Thought I still check different things related with gambling. I'm happy now.

Health is more important than anything, it's ridiculous if someone is more concerned about gambling than their health, and if indeed he has a disease that can be affected or exacerbated because of his gambling activities then I think there is no reason whatsoever for him not to stop his gambling activities, honestly I don't care even if for example he is addicted which is in fact quite difficult to get out of gambling but I think if his family knows about his gambling that can affect his illness then I'm sure his family will do whatever it takes to stop it.

Yes like heart disease for example which does make sense as you said if they experience surprising things in their gambling then surely it will affect their heart rate which will be faster, I think not only because of winning a big jackpot but maybe losing streaks also seems to make them a little surprised because it turns out that the final result is always not what he expected. So the point is please be able to consider whatever you are going through, it's also for your own good friends.

In my case, I did not choose to give up. Or rather, play responsibly. I myself probably live in an environment where there are many people addicted to gambling, and people in my family are also addicted to gambling. But instead of blaming them or finding ways to make them stop, try to find out what makes them fall into that situation. And what I realized here is that in the environment they approach, when there are not many people knowledgeable enough about gambling, they can make all kinds of excuses, but the result is that it affects them directly in their lives and those around them. Only when the mistakes are big enough to cause financial loss or even a threat to their lives will they reconsider their behavior. Perhaps, due to the way the message is conveyed, the recipient will listen to this issue that is more harmful than helpful to life. It is possible to raise awareness about life and look for recreational activities to spend less time being exposed to gambling, as I learned.

What in the heavens above did I ever mentioned that I am attempting to support my income by gambling, you've clearly misunderstood what I've typed so it's not entirely your fault, I have to just be better at structuring my sentence so there's some comprehension to be had but I digress, what I've said is that the conditions that I would stop gambling is:

• when I got a family and a kid to raise
• and that my support for that family in terms of finances wouldn't yield me any extras that I can use to gamble
• I've got some chronic bodily problem that's going to require maintenance that's going to cost me money

I hope that this list will clear out what I was trying to say, I really don't know why you've replied those stuff because I don't see the connection of you quoting my reply. I didn't even mention any wins in my post, what the hell are you talking about? Have you read my reply to the post or just skimmed through it? To humor you for the sake of argument, you're stating the obvious regarding what you need to do when gambling and why you have to stop gambling, also there are times that some people are just so unaware that they're slowly being too self-destructive about their gambling habits so if a prophet needs to tell them to stop then so be it.

But many gamblers continue to play even if they have heart problems and land-based casinos are fully aware of this in fact that is there are defibrillators in many land-based casinos in case one of the winners suffers a heart attack, health concerns especially heart problems should be the main reason to stop gambling, gambling is a very excited form of entertainment it's being advised by doctors to their patients with heart ailment to shorten the time they gamble or be in a casino with a medical facility and if you're gambling online you should have someone beside you in case you suffer a mild attack.
Heart concern should be the number one reason to stop gambling, what is the worth of winning a big amount of money if you cannot enjoy it?

I know it is not an easy task quitting something you are already used to or something that has been like a routine or a part of your life for a very long period of time. As a married man, I believe not every one would want their kids to know or see them gambling because they would not like it and as such would always wants to do away with it from their homes so that their various families would have no idea that they gamble. It is nice you took that decision to limit your gambling lifestyle for the sake of your family
 Although it is not an easy decision because of the fact of you being used to it but at some point one would need Mae some sacrifice for the sake of their families. You have done well mate.
