I have come across Local gamblers who are addicted to gambling and had ruined their selves by themselves til they ran bankrupt yet they borrows money to gamble at all means even While being indebted.
Theses sets of gamblers doesn't have remorse nor conscience about their gambling lifestyles instead their friends and relatives are the ones who bears the shameful consequences the addicted gambler brought to their circle of relationships.
At the virtue of getting the unbearable situations to an end, the relatives broadcasts the chronic addicted gambler at all costs of gambling boards never to give him privileges to gamble in any of the Gambling arenas anymore else they (the relatives) would sue the gambling boards owner.
This is just how recklessness could mess your life of you can't take control to gamble responsibly.

Take note and be aware that your way of gambling could affect your relationships and the circle of your relatives.

That's the point. Gambling as a normal act can't actually influence your relationship with your relatives or family except you make it do so. Some persons in your family may deem gambling bad but the truth is it is actually a neutral act  like I always say. It is when people make it an annoying addiction that it is then perceived as a bad act. You definitely can't expect your relatives to still love and associate with you when you made them or yourself go bankrupt because of a crazy gambling addiction. This is why people are advised to gamble responsively.

Come to think of it, gambling addicts are tagged bad because they lose more too often than they win. Because if they win often in the first place people would associate more with them because they would be richer.  I mean which relative would be mad at someone who won $1million with a $100 gambling stake?
And of course everyone will be mad at someone who lost $850 in a careless bet.

the family/relatives have to threaten the local casino to prevent this gambler from participating in any game. you don't hear that every day but there is a kid (with autism) in my town who has this situation. his family owns a grocery store where the parents also have to give a tip to the security guards to prevent him from getting inside the cockpit arena. this is because his family sometimes pays a huge amount.

i'm not sure if this will happen to crypto casino users though. the only way an online gambler can affect is when he spends the money that is meant for something else.

Most especially your relatives would look up to you as an older person and like your lifestyle and then would like to emulate it because they see the elder brother figure in you. Some of your relatives who you know are underage and immature to understand that there is responsible gambling and that you can actually be gambling for fun with the chance to win money and not to just win money need to be starved of any information about you being involved in gambling.

I agree with you. A player is usually an adult enough to realize the consequences of their actions. If he can't stop in time to analyze his mistakes, he has to be guided to the right path by any means necessary. A professional player should be able to keep his temper in check, and try to keep his emotions in check

Full disclose: I gamble very rarely. When I do, I go with a big stake and watch the team for days before placing a bet in their favour or against.

I know many who lost everything in gambling even sold their house, left family, had divorce. I also have seen some people who went for rehab and got rid of the addiction. There is another set of people who I know regularly win from casinos. I also met a few people who have gambling businesses.

You will be effected by the people around you. If you are with right companion then you are going to prosper in life.

It is the same, I think, with all addictions, or at least in most of them. Each one has its own negative social effects, and the impact of some of them is higher than others. In the case of gambling there are also degrees of addiction and, depending on the individual's circumstances, more or less damage for their relatives, friends and other people in his social or spatial circle.

The true danger in most severe cases is that, unlike what happens in the case of drug-addicts for example, is that the physical effects on the gambler can only be seen in the very long term (if they don't sleep well, don't eat well...), which makes it harder for others to know that there is a problem and, therefore, help in any way.

Gambling can really affect your relationship with other people may it be your friends, your relatives, or even your spouse. It can have a negative impact if you will recklessly go your way in betting and playing. Borrowing money could taint your connection with your close friends. It could eve wreck your relationship with your spouse if you will be found out to abusing your capability to play such as overspending and excessive time allotment in such activities.

Once you go desperate just to play, you could even resort to doing bad things such as robbery just to satisfy your addiction in gambling. In this case, you will not only lose the trust of the people around you, but you could ruin your life as well. Hence, it's important to know your boundaries to avoid these things. Loss is part of the game. Your action and behaviour towards either winning and losing will determine your path in gambling. You could either use gambling to strengthen your relationship with others, or destroy it.

Alot of things can affects one family, like drug addictions, crime activities and even positive things like success, there are people that left their families just because they became successful, so let's not push everything on gambling.
I think the problem here is when you get addicted to gambling, infact getting addicted to anything is super wrong, if you gamble responsibly you should not have any problems.

That's the thing that gamblers who lost a lot in gambling, they are already focused on recovering their loss and don't see any path that could change their situation it is already fixed, with no feeling nor conscience they just want to bring back their dignity and reputation using the same reason that cause them huge losses. People like your relatives might be caring for you or themselves cause your reputation might affect them as well, I mean there is nothing wrong with them for them to reach that far due to gambling addiction that can't be stopped, for if you are in their situation as well you would find ways to prevent that addiction, but would be better to get checked up for the professional, cause if the relatives afford to sue the house, for sure they can afford professional help.

All of us know that if our relatives or friends get affected by our gambling habit then there must be something wrong with us. If the extension of consequences passes along up to your friends, then you should stop especially if they know nothing about on what you do. Personally, as much as possible, I don't want anyone know about my gambling habit, I want to keep to myself, and keep myself involve in what can happen doing such thing. I keep my losses and winnings, at the end of the day it is me who enjoyed gambling and entertained. One must know how to handle things responsibly, especially in gambling where almost anything can be infected by it.

Do you know who reckless gambling habit affect? It is the gambler itself. He or she will be the one to face the depression and the negative effects of gambling. The gambler will be the one to lose his relationship with people that have advised him but not listening.

You can be a good gambler, someone who knows gambling through you and the person become an addicted gambler. You can be an addicted gambler and be a lesson to people not to be addicted.

Nonetheless, gambling addiction is not good.

It can also affect them for the better when you for example win 100.000 dollars or 500.000 dollars.I am pretty sure these people who do moral to gamblers and tell them that gambling is bad,can ruin your life (which is true) when they see for example 500.000 dollars and you give them for example 50.000 or 100.000 dollars I am pretty sure that almost no one with object and deny getting that money.So there are always to sides to the medal as that saying says and there have been a lot of these threads where we as gamblers can ruin the life o relatives but there should be also others where we as gamblers have improved the life of our relatives.

Yes, Royse777 you are right on the impact of our cycle on the outcome and reality of our life and future,  just like the old saying.

(Show me your friends,  and I will tell you who you are)

The above statement makes a lot of sense in this regards,  and as a gambler,  if you satisfy yourself with unsatisfied and addicted,  there is no way you won't fall into addiction at some point,  so for, for anyone to escape from getting their life ruined via gambling addictions,  you need to gamble within a specific set of rules and guideline to help you manage yourself smartly while gambling to avoid getting into a mess.

        -  Gambling can only have an effect on us when it causes bad things in our lives, which will eventually have an effect on our relatives. And even though it has brought good results to us, like, for example, winning a large amount of money gambling, our other relatives will still think that gambling is still not good in their eyes.

And they will think that I just got lucky playing gambling, and they can also think that if I don't win the game, my life will definitely be ruined by gambling. These are the possible thoughts that are in their brains, in my opinion.

Addiction is something very bad that should be gotten rid of by every gambler so that they don't put themselves in a state where they would be abandoned by relatives, friends and family. This is the most saddened thing, that because of your excessive gambling, you lost everything. The best thing is that anyone who finds himself in this state needs to quit gambling and focus on how to amend his life so that he will not live with depression due to isolation from relatives. Gambling is fun but if you allow gamble to destroy your life and your relationship, you will live to regret it

However we want to gamble we should have it in mind that our reckless and compulsive gambling habit can only not affect us but also has a way it indirectly affect our families and loved ones who care about our wellbeing and mental health. I made a similar thread (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5473847.msg63147713#msg63147713) last year concerning a family's action towards one of their own who went too extreme with his gambling addiction of which the family had to take same action as Op story highlights.

We can gamble without causing harm to ourself neither our family. The matrix in all of these is that we tend to enjoy the beautiful side of gambling when we chose to stay discipline and gamble responsibly you enjoy both the fun, entertainment and the financial rewards thats involved in the activity, but when it's on the negative side you deny yourself the fun, entertainment and the financial rewards because I have seen a successful compulsive gambler, maybe there has been one or two successful ones but the number can't be equated to those that gambles responsibly.

There's also a man in my locality who is married and also had kids. This man gambles more often on sport games and he wins a lot too, he takes care of his family and pays every necessary bills that is required of him. Upon how often he frequentes himself in one local casino in my area, I wonder how he manages to earn a lot of money from gambling to the extent that he take very good care of his family responsibilities.

With the gambling habit of this man, I believe that it's not every gambler that allows their gambling habit to affect their family affairs. Despite that, some people too could be addicted to gambling, yet they don't allow it to get to their relatives. In some other cases, most gamblers end up losing their sense of gambling. I do gamble, even more often than some people do but yet, it doesn't affect any of my relatives.

Just like what everybody says "everything in excess will do no good" and gambling are definitely not an exception, in fact it bears one of the most devastating outcome just next to drugs. Frequent gambling always ends up getting more losses than winning most likely, so, one could end up broke in no time. Who else would suffer from these? Not just that person, but the family as well, because who else would he turn to when every thing about him fall apart.
Items sold and debts is going to be the most difficult one if every single bit of it has already been exhausted. It may lead to depression that will become the main reason for suicide.

I’m curious what country you are which you can easily make a request to your gambling board to ban someone on all the casino without any personal appearance of the person being ban.

In my country, reaching out to gambling regulators is very hard to do because they don’t make appointment to individuals and they doesn’t entertain requests like this because their main focus is to regulate casino not the gambler itself.


In sever cases, This is true since you will be financially indebted while you still have family to feed.

You will worry about this if you stay with family members both nuclear and some extensive members, or if you are someone who is always visiting relatives or have them visiting. If there is no very good relationship between the family members, then there is no way your habits Which is gambling will affect your relationship with your relatives because then the communication between both parties will be very close to none. Also, when you understand the kind of family you come from, you would know in your heart if they can accept you as a gambler or not and then having answered the personal question, you would then know whether to keep it to yourself a secret or to allow them know that you are a gambler.

If they are already at the level of addiction with a chronic level then I think it is quite natural if they do things beyond expectations, whether they are mature enough or  even old but still the impact of gambling has minimized awareness in their minds so that it is difficult to do better things or even just consider. For a gambler who has entered the phase of chronic addiction then I think there is little chance of recovery if they just do it alone without any help from anyone, as you said that there must be someone who is willing to guide him in all ways that are needed and needed to change his mindset and beliefs. Because what is  feared is that one day they could be in a situation that is really concerning by experiencing great pressure due to their excessive gambling activities  which of course cannot be denied and it is possible for them to think about ending their lives.

If you are not a gambler, but belong to a group or live in a gambling environment, then there is a high probability that you will become one. And when you are a gambler but you live in a place that does not recognize gambling, then there is a possibility that your environment will gradually be affected by your behavior, so that they all join in gambling. And this shows how powerful and easy it is for someone to be affected by gambling and fall into it.


And if we're talking about someone who is addicted to gambling, it's even worse. Not only do they influence their surroundings to do the same, but they also often endanger those around them, including their family. What happens if a gambling addict is an unemployed person who has no income and no other activities other than gambling. And to fulfill his gambling cravings, he does not hesitate to sell his family's property without having to ask permission first, or go into debt and ignore the bills. In the end, it is the family that has to take responsibility and suffer the consequences.

When most people play, they start to focus a lot on the game and as a result end up spending many hours playing. They start not to be present when their relatives celebrate a birthday, they start not to spend time with their relatives, as a result they start to hate their relatives when their relatives fight with them. Naturally, relatives will draw their attention so that they don't spend too many hours playing, but unfortunately, when people become addicted to gambling, they don't listen to anyone. They begin to become very violent and problematic people. Sometimes they steal family goods and sell them to continue playing

and they lie that they were robbed, and the family really thinks it was a robbery, sometimes the guy addicted to gambling keeps stealing money from his relatives and lies that it was a thief who stole it and the relatives believe him. There are many such cases, unfortunately. It has been very difficult for families with problematic players to be happy, the end is always for the family to destroy itself. because on one side there are the radical relatives wanting revenge for the damage that the gambling-addicted relative caused, on the other hand we have the more moderate relatives who try to be more optimistic in relation to the cure for the addicted relative. The problem is that the addicted relative always ends up being a very difficult person to deal with and only makes the situation worse

it depends on how we respond to it. if we are too open to gambling with them (unless they are also gamblers) we will definitely get a bad perspective, sometimes they don't want to accept us, we feel insulted, etc. but if he is a gambler it also has a dangerous effect. The danger is that if he is a gambler who cannot control his gambling and then becomes friends with us, it is possible that we will also get carried away with the same thing as him. Usually I prefer to gamble alone and meet friends online. because it doesn't affect my real life much and keeps me from getting addicted to gambling.

That is true, but I would like to focus on the reverse role, that is, the situation where a familiar is affecting you through his gambling disfunctional behavior. Let's say you are the victim of the story, the passive agent. Of course there is strong negative feelings of revolt and unacceptance for suffering the consequences for someone else's actions, mistakes and addictions, what is likely to keep growing inside, as the situation keeps repeating itself along the time.

You feel mixed feelings, as you love your familiar, but also hate him for acting irrationally and harming the whole family emotionally and financially. You would like he changed, and when you see it's definitely not going to happen, your anger increases and you feel hopeless, not only about this specific situation, rather about your life in general... That is something you have to avoid at all costs! It's very nasty and exhausting to deal with this, but when a familiar is screwing up your life, you have to move on, to stay away and to understand you are the only one responsible for your currently conditions and future, without expecting anything from your addicted familiar.

Then focus in personal plans and goals, draw your schedules and go for it. Forget about what is or were around. Those are things which are unlikely to change, it's out of your control. Don't let someone else's addiction mess your life, just it's messing his.

This your thread reminds me of a guy who gamble a lot and have sold out most of his properties just to fulfill his gambling desire which he always ends up losing in almost all of his games and still he don’t want to learn from that and stop the gambling habit instead he go as far as borrowing money which he can’t even be able to pay back, at the end of the day most of the people he owes debt end up coming to there house to disgrace the family and make some threat to there properties, such kind of behavior are no longer to be regarded as normal gambling as those people have gone above limit from using there own money to borrowing and if time is not taken they might also go as far as stealing just to keep the game going.

I mean I suppose this could be true for any sort of topic.  You're drug habit effects your relatives or whatever else could be said.  I think for the most part no matter how much gambling ruins your life, that as long as it does not effect other peoples lives, than so be it.  I wouldn't not gamble simply because of fear of doing this is I guess what I'm trying to say.

Good thing if you do have that kind of relative on which they would really be having a time that they would really be making out such step on going into those places and telling that you should really be that banned or prohibited as we do all know that not all relatives or close to you would really be giving or showing up that kind of concern but most likely they wont really be putting any care at all on the things that you've been doing.
It is really just that there are relatives or loved ones or close to you who are really that in concern on someones situation specially if they have seen that they are really that already that being messing up their
lives on the decisions that they are making on which they would really be definitely making out such involvement because they cant bare out to see those things anymore.

Most of the time those relatives of mine wont really be doing on the same stuff or simply they dont really just care anymore on what would happen to you.
You would really be just that setting aside on the things that you've been dealing with no matter how badly you would really be wrecking up yourself into gambling.
You wont be that careful? They dont really care at all.

This is true, being hooked on gambling even if not totally addicted to it can also affect relationship.  Some of the instances are:

Neglecting the needs of the family, like attention and finance since the person is too busy with his gambling activities, he is not able to do his responsibility as a member of the family.  Worst if the person is the sole earner of the family, and due to being hooked to gambling, the money he give to his family is less and is not sufficient for the family needs that can be resulted to debt and unpaid debt.


But sadly you cannot ruin your life without affecting the one who cares for us unless you are living alone and no families and friends at all which is somehow an impossible situation..

This is a common problem for individuals who do not view gambling as a form of entertainment and find themselves unable to control their gambling habits. If you or someone you know is facing this situation, it is important to seek help from specialized doctors who can provide psychological support and guidance. Family and friends can also play a crucial role in providing support and encouragement to those seeking help. Personally, I have not experienced such addiction, but I understand the importance of seeking help if necessary. I always make sure to stay within my limits and avoid going beyond them.

one way to prevent such addiction is to address potential indications at early stage rather than when you are already too deep in this addictive vice. or much better if you always have self-assessment of yourself on what's going on with your gambling life. it is easy to pause or stop this habit if you are still very clear with yourself about what's going on with yourself.


most of the time, the immediate family is the one suffering on this type of addiction, gambling or drugs or any kind of vice. because let's look at the financial facet of every vice. if the family is not wealthy, and financial troubles and one member of the family is into any of this addiction, they will suffer more when it comes to finances. there's no problem if the family is rich enough to accommodate his vices, because it is the person himself will suffer the worst consequences brought by his addiction.

The person in question whose family had to go to various gambling houses to place a restriction on their relative from gambling actually seem to be approaching this case wrongly because this is a case of addiction and going to various gambling house to place such restrictions will only cause the addicted fellow to device another means to satisfying his urge.

The addicted fellow at this point needs help and in oder to help this addict, Firstly you need to make him understand that their habit isn't a healthy one and you can only do that properly in love and calmly but when you try to do it forcefully they will only find a way around your restrictions and continue with their habits, such persons may even needed as much as professional help probably from a therapist . Such person could relocate to a different destination so that they can gain freedom to continue since there's a restriction around their current environment.

It is so sad seeing people ruining their lives through gambling which is suppose to be moderated by them and under control. This is not a new thing and it has happened to many people in the past. If the families are affected so much by the way he gambles, it is either he is the bread winner of the family or he borrows or steal money from them to go and gamble which will not go well for the entire family.

In the case of reporting the gambling shop to the authorities if they allow him to gamble at their place again, I don’t think that is possible because if he is not violating their rules of gambling, he won’t be stopped from gambling and the family wont have a case against the gambling shop owners. It is only when he is not up to the age of gambling that they can sue the gambling company for allowing an underage to place a bet with them.

I really feel pitiful for them. If they tried to learn, they wouldn't have to hide in things that sink deeper and only prevent them from being able to escape. I witnessed many cases of people even fighting because of borrowing money to gamble. Indeed, there are many things that can only be understood that gambling addicts are really pitiful, they ruin their lives and affect others surrounding people, it will be very difficult for them to find a chance to escape the danger zone. And often the end result is sins that make people regret more.

Life is inherently fair, and each person will always have enough choices suitable to their life context, accepting the truth of life. Some things that I see are that gambling addicts will interact with each other a lot and rarely will they find a normal person to get along with. It's a pity that the wrong prejudice leads to a life full  anguished.

When a gambling establishment does not violate anything and has followed the rules in the area, then nothing can be reported.
It is entirely the responsibility of parents or closest relatives that those who have problems with gambling or are too addicted are prohibited from getting into gambling.

But, now accessing gambling is very easy with Online gambling, this will not be any filter.
Even underage children can access it easily, gambling games placing bets can be done via mobile phones without the need for any age restrictions.
It's too complicated for now unless there is supervision and restriction from the parents themselves.

First of all, I cannot see the point why relatives would sue the gambling provider 'coz the man in particular was so irresponsible as a gambler. If the Casino is registered then there's nothing to be worried of, in their end. They are a running business and they cannot choose among people who will they allow to play on their platform and who won't be; they will accommodate all players since they forced no one to engage to them in the first place. Quite of a bad solution I guess; the relative should have just focused with their relative's problem and recovery of addiction than to use money and time to something which is obvious. It is a normal thing as well for people around you, especially your relatives, to have bad feelings for the platform but they just cannot stop a running business simply because they accommodated someone on their platform. It is gambling we are talking about and nothing is basically guaranteed except for loss, which should already be an enough warning to that man.

That is very true, it is the responsibility of the gambler or the family himself on what to do with their family member who is into gambling.
It is not the casino nor the government to stop him from this activity. Because it is his own will why he got into this activity.
However, the person or the gambler himself should know the repercussions of his activities as not only himself but his family will be affected by his actions.
If he does care for his family, better think fast and alter his lifestyle for the betterment of his life.

That's the essence of the topic, because the family has the responsibility to help their family member who is a gambling addict. That's when the family members are affected by the family member who's addicted. They will have to think of ways on how they will stop their member from playing more, and because the gambler could borrow money or, at worst, steal money from them, that's why it's very important that if you can't handle yourself from doing bad things because of gambling or if other people are being affected by your doings, then that's when things are bad. If you know you can't control or you might affect other people, then you should not enter into gambling because gambling is not the problem; it's you, the person itself, who can't control itself. The person is the one to blame, no one else, and even a family member has the responsibility to help you. Still,  you should help yourself first.

When someone is unable to control themselves when gambling, becomes addicted, and even completely loses control without being able to control themselves, then it will indeed be very dangerous. The impact of the problem is not only on yourself but especially on your family. But unfortunately, it will be quite difficult to awaken and make the addicted gambler stop gambling and get treatment. They just want to earn money and then use it for agmbling.

That's why, it's true, you have to be alert and wise when gambling. Don't let being addicted cause us to lose control.

I often encounter things like this in my environment, I am not surprised by this, I am just sad to see his family be broken because his addicted. Nowadays, many people see things without calculation, they just think bet the money, they can be rich and the money has doubled multiple times. In fact not easy like that, all things in the world must have calculation and good management even what he did is just bet the money in gambling. It is same as trading, we can't take the advantage just like that without calculating if in the future want to do the same thing. Because we have set the profits for next capital. If all is spent, I really sure the will lost in all.

Generally speaking, our loved ones would be upset, angry, or concerned, especially if we developed a gambling addiction and our actions and behavior radically changed. Because of the wrongdoings of the gambling addict—you mentioned that he was indebted to someone—they would feel deceived, and their family and relatives would be the ones who suffer and worry about the financial load. In simple terms, they seem to be in emotional turmoil.
Additionally, there's a chance that he or she will borrow money from family members to feed their gambling addiction. We are seriously endangering ourselves if we cannot maintain self-control and discipline.
 
It's reassuring to know that the family alerted the gaming board to deny him access to any gaming establishments going forward. This will allow him to be held accountable for his actions and develop self-control. They are like the stray cats in the world, and the way to tame them is that you must catch them, train them, and discipline them.

for me, if you're going to do something stupid with gambling, make sure you can stand with it and that you don't harm other people, especially your family. Yes, we know they are our family and they are ready to forgive or help you with the things you have done, but it is a different matter if you are putting them in a bad situation and giving a huge problems. It is a great shame for them to be told that they have a relative who is a irrespinsible gambler and an addict.

There are many gamblers who cannot control themselves, from gambling addiction due to which they suffer a lot. For such users a family is instantly ruined and in debt. The user then borrows money from their relatives to gamble, and when the money is lost in gambling, the user becomes even more broke. Abstaining from gambling is the most important thing because people who become addicted end up ruining themselves and ruining their families. So one should never gamble by borrowing or borrowing, but if gambling is to be done it is better to gamble with a certain amount of money only then a user will not become too much addicted.

I am always aware of this, especially with the emotional fluctuations. When you lose, you get easily angry and I have kids so controlling it is necessary or else my family will hate me if I take out all my hatred in gambling with them. That's not fair for those people who are near you.
Gambling responsibly doesn't just mean controlling the money that we have, we also have to be careful with what we will say to the people near us. Even if we are in deep losses, we must stay calm like nothing really happened. This is where the "gamble what you can afford to lose" will come in very helpful.
If we are only gambling the amount that we are not able to regret after we rekt it then I think we are okay. Money can definitely control our emotions too and if we keep on thinking about the amount that we lose then we are in big trouble.
The key to surviving this jungle is just putting in a budget and we have to stay with it. Follow the plan, stick with it, and don't let emotions get the better of you by chasing losses. After all that, I think we are going to be fine with our family as long as we are responsible.

You have indeed made alot of point but I disagree about Gambliing addict affecting your relatives. I believe that what ever a man does will surely affect him and him alone. No doubt, the family will receive humiliation about how addicted one can be but I really think the gambler has alot to face. The consequences of excessive gamble will not only affect his current situation but his future, social life, religious life, educational reputation and loose family respect. And sometimes finds it difficult to find a partner for marriage. All this circles around him and not his relatives.

I agree. Recognizing how irresponsible gambling can affect others is crucial. I know from experience that addiction isnt isolated. A stone dropped into a pond causes waves which affect everyone nearby. Your relative's intervention illustrates this well. Due to desperation, they must intervene publicly and distressingly.

Responsible gaming may be fun and exciting. Balance and self-awareness matter. When restrictions are respected, gambling can be entertaining and fascinating. Just like any activity, it gives flavor to life in moderation but can be harmful in excess. Knowing and following one's limitations is crucial.

Your warning reminds us that gambling should be voluntary. Making informed decisions and considering how they affect ourselves and our loved ones is key. While we enjoy gambling, lets promote responsible gambling even more. The greatest bet is one that doesnt harm our relationships.

What if the gambling addict is an playing online? I guess that the family and relatives could try to block his internet connection and take away his computer and smartphone. Suing offline casinos for letting gambling addicts to gamble seems pointless to me. No court is going to decide such case in favor of the gambler's family.
The thing you are writing about can be applied to any form of addiction. At some point, you drown so deep in the addiction that it affects your family. This is the worst part. Damaging the lives of your parents, brothers, sisters, significant other and kids due to your addiction is the most embarrassing thing that could ever happen to an addict. That's why I will never let myself get addicted to anything(not just gambling).

To gamble with certain amount of money that the person can afford to lose is what you are talking about, not just to gamble with certain amount of money because certain amount can be any amount. For addicts, the right words is that they should gamble with little amount of money, like 1 to 5% and not more than 5% of their weekly or monthly income. This is because they can be wrongly proving that they can afford to lose high amount of money, but until they are in losses would be when they will see how gambling can depress them.

The impact may be wider than you think than just the environment of gambling addicts. The sentimental impact that relatives get will also definitely be felt especially if it has to do with other people's finances.
Gamblers who are addicted and don't have a steady income can harm other people whether it's relatives, colleagues, or people around them.
what he did was irresponsible to himself. but the impact will spread to involve other people. we have seen many cases of gambling addicts like that.

Taking loans to gamble is a big no no but for the gambler it seems like the only way out when the money they have has already been lost and they have not gambled for long enough to give them withdrawal symptoms. Indeed it is a pathological condition and the same family members can actually help cope up with the situation.

If the gambler is willing enough, they can try keeping their mind of gambling through fruitful activites outside their devices and make use of the time. Its tough but possible.

Then there are people who are drowning in debts but have no remorse, for them its a tough life without any option.

Unfortunately those category of gamblers are so addicted such that they think that borrowing money to gamble again would enable them to win big to cover their indebtedness unfortunately as they as they continue to chase losses they even lose more until they got bankrupted it's very hard to control these set of gamblers because their is a spirit of never say die in them which continue to propel and push them to continue with their act, sadly the consequences of their addiction to gambling had affected the well being of their families and relationship with other colleagues imagine if the person is the bread winner in the family.

It's shameful when gambling takes everything from you, but it's not shameful when you make $1 million dollars as a gambler, I know someone who was hated for been a gambler, family members cut themselves off this person and after few years later this person became so successful with gambling, now the relatives can't even go back to claim him as their own.

I am not saying that gamblers should be an addict because they can become a millionaire some day, I am only saying that anything is possible, I choose to be responsible with gambling because I never expected much from gambling and I have seen a lot of people that are ruined because of their gambling habit, my advice is we gamblers need to be careful with gambling, avoid getting too attached with gambling.

Families should come first over everything, make sure that the decisions you make won't affect them, true be told, if your own child tell you that they believe in gambling you will never feel right about it, you will always be in worries, the only thing that can make me leave behind a relative is if they don't support my vision, not like gambling, but something that I believe will work well for me in future, and the reason why I will choose to stay away is for my own good, to stay focus and not get distracted by them.

It shows how gambling can really mess things up. Not just for the person hooked, but for everyone around them. Gotta gamble smart to avoid the chaos. Addiction wrecks relationships and money. If you're into gambling, think about how it hits your loved ones. Get help and play responsibly to break the bad cycle.

That's them, not me. :P

I never gamble beyond my limit or higher than my monthly income, so gambling will not affect my life and my relatives life.

We have so many threads discuss about gambling addiction, self control, story of gambling ruin someone life, gambling is for fun, how to not become an addict etc, so that's enough to make users in this forum not become an addict.

I think it's no secret that if you are out of control of your gambling habits and you don't have the means to pay the people that you loan for, obviously as some point in time when the people that you borrowed money from are your relatives, your relationships will be affected if you don't pay them on time.

So it may haunt you for the rest of your life if you don't pay them. Or at least decide when to quit and stop gambling for good. Maybe some of us have been in this kind of situation before, and maybe we did get out of our addiction and mend our relationships with our family members. But there could still be knee deep with debts and loans from their gambling addiction and can't get out.

Understanding gambling requires acknowledging that uncontrolled gambling can lead to addiction. Gambling addiction affects others as well as the gambler. Financial and emotional stress often fall on relatives. They struggle to assist their loved one while tackling the problem

Instead, evaluate the gambler's viewpoint. The complexity of addiction goes beyond guilt and conscience. Gamblers often get stuck in a pattern they know has negative repercussions. Responsible gambling applies here. It's a strategy to keep gambling fun, not harmful. For individuals battling, professional help is essential. Family members may help gamblers recover, but it takes patience, epathy, and harsh love

Gambling smartly seems to me kind of odd because it's kind of ironic when the smartest thing that you could've done is probably to not gamble that money away but you still did it anyway. I think that's already a given effect when it comes to addiction, you will always hurt the people around along with yourself and the idea of empathy towards your loved ones is a good thing but the problem is that an addict have a hard time prioritizing that kind of thing because they want to satisfy what they're craving as much as possible because they're addicted, only way that someone can get saved from addiction is if they choose to do the saving themselves, if they don't want to get addicted anymore then they should have the will to do it themselves first and then the external help can do their job more efficiently.

I've read something like this in the forum, and the Op said he heard it on a radio program. Maybe people are beginning to adapt to this type of idea. It doesn't sound like a better way of dealing with addiction. Because these people actually need to adapt the fact their ward won't be happy hearing about the action they've decided to take on him. What matters is helping him out of gambling not disseminating a report on every gambling location in his neighborhood. That doesn't make any difference, he could be gambling else where in a far distant neighborhood, where nobody knows about his bad gambling habit. Hence, family who have been affected in gambling should learn how to focus on making their child a better citizen to the society. Tackling the problem in a way that'll be embarrassing to him would only worsen the problem of the person and he would look for a means of getting out of the neighborhood, since people will begin to talk him down based on choice his parents took on him.

The most important way your gambling can affect your family and relatives is the loss of control over your debts. It is known that a gambler wants to win back, but he does not have any worthwhile strategy or game system. So he will lose again and again. And again there will be a desire to win back. And so on in a vicious circle. This will happen until his relatives abandon him.
The most interesting thing happens when a person undergoes a course of rehabilitation treatment. The whole treatment there is to discourage a person from wanting to play. But it does not explain why he loses. And what you need to do to win, and if this is impossible, then stop playing or direct your energy in a completely different direction.

That wouldn't have happened if those people could control themselves well. But the reality is that they then gamble excessively and even borrow money to gamble, which will give them regret, but only for a moment. And if they don't regret it, it has gone too far because they don't care about what has happened to them. This is embarrassing for the family because they have family members who gamble excessively, and they have to solve the problem immediately immediately. What other family members have done is right because even though they are forced to do it, it is for the sake of family members who like to gamble so that they can realize that what they do in gambling has exceeded their limits. That happens if someone gambles beyond their limits and the ones who will bear everything are other family members, while the gambler may not feel anything.

Without good control it will indeed make someone play beyond the limits and it will never be good in the end if it continues, therefore never let our family members borrow money from other people or give loans to our family members, because we will definitely get involved in it, don't let him get addicted to gambling because to keep him from losing too much and also it can help stop his addiction, sometimes people who gamble will stop slowly if they no longer have money.

The most helpful thing is that as family or friends, it's best not to let family members borrow money from us and never lend money to family members because it could make their addiction worse. It's best to stop them in a harsh way even though it won't get a good response from them. remain firm, everything is done to keep our family members safe from gambling addiction. because gambling addiction is difficult to cure

Yep it effect in my relatives life. In our country people become more happy if the other sons loss and they can't do anything good in life. They talk every time by pinch to the other if their son do good in life. But after joining in gambling they can't tell anything their son doing good in life but I am doing better my life by joining crypto and gambling. The achievement from the crypto world and the gambling sector is profit and how to make money. Yes it effect to my relatives they can't pinch anymore.

This is terrible when a gambling addiction is ruining a family. But I wouldn't say that it's something only linked to gambling, and form of addiction is having severe impacts on the family and can ruin. With gambling addictions the patient will use all the money he gets his hands on to go and play at casinos, with the alcohol addictions he will just go to the supermarket and buy as much alcohol as possible. I think we should be more open to all types of addictions and not to only one. It's hard for the family to see the life of a loved one ruined without being able to change it.

Naturally. Any sort of addiction can affect not just you, nor your relatives, but literally anyone in your surroundings whether it be your neighbors, workmates, friends, and whatnot. That's just how life goes. Unless you're a really secluded person that lives in the middle of a forest, anything you do can have significant effects to your surroundings, the scale just differs I guess depending on how much you mean to them.

It's not necessarily gambling itself though. I mean, there's a lot of gamblers out there that are pretty responsible, myself included (I hope).

The destruction of household or family that occurs because of gambling is clearly the perpetrator being gambling addict, this cannot be gambling said to be the main source of the problem of family breakdown because the person who is actually at fault is the gambler himself.
A gambler who is addicted is clearly someone who has failed in controlling himself, in limiting and managing all the gambling activities he has been doing so far, resulting in excessive financial expenditure.
A gambling addict will use all the money he has just to fulfill his desire to continue every bet and of course this kind of thing makes the gambling addict abandon his family and he works only to be able to get money as betting capital, not to support the family.

If compare an alcoholic or drunkard with gambler, it will clearly be very different and of course both can have bad impact on family, but in the context of an alcoholic, it will never be possible to let go of the responsibility to support the family.
It just that drunks will have more uncontrolled attitudes in terms of emotions and attitudes, they can commit violence against their family members if they lose control.
As much as possible, should also avoid everything, don't become gambling addict and also don't become an alcoholic.

Restrictions should be given to a gambler by his family so whenever he starts going extra miles just for the sake of gambling. Sometimes it is the cause of the relatives that made an addicted gambler to feel he can take loans and secure huge debt without considering how the money would be paid back. He knows very well that if he did not have the money to pay back his family members would contribute and pay the debt.

The best way to harness this problem is to let the gambler to go through the situation alone. If he dont have the money tto pay back they should take everything he owns that is equal to the amount he borrowed. Instead of disturbing the relative who is not aware the he went to take a loan for agambling.

Unfortunately for family members, family is forever. It's hard to give up on them whether one is an addicted gambler or alcoholic, the members will just have to tend to them and wait how long they can turn their lives around. They can turn a happy family into a dysfunctional one, they will drain the money of the family and the kids see life in some other way and influence the way they think in the future.

For OP's example, I think the person is not a family man yet that's why his older siblings or probably parents are the ones trying to ban him from the betshops.

I  can say that crytop casino would only advice about responsible gambling but doesn't have the right to decide on a gamblers limits to gamble and crytop casino wouldn't even care your lifestyle of gambling because they are not rightfully mandated to moderate its gamblers at their gambling lifestyles so, it can of course also happen to the the crytop casino gamblers.

Even the crytop casino could even be worse for the gamblers relatives to conduct or put to an end of the gambling relative on his reckless and chronic gambling lifestyles as long the gambler could get reach to mobile devices unless he would be deprived from all series of terms that could utter him the chances to use the internet or mobile devices else there would always be ways for the gambler to keep up his wayward deeds of gambling which is affecting his relatives.

This is on the extreme end of things. I'm pretty sure if you're a normal person who's just gambling casually, your relatives won't interfere. Also, I don't think the relatives would even have the power to sue these gambling houses especially if they have permits. They're just putting their family name to shame and just getting themselves in the limelight for no reason.

The best thing these gambling houses can do is just ban the man and let all these things end. They can report the family members to the police for alarm and scandal if it continues to happen and the man's family will just find themselves in deep shit if they continue to act like they're trying to 'save' their kin.

There have been many cases like this and to be honest, those who have become addicts ^{(what is addiction to gambling or other addicts)} will not have normal thoughts anymore, surely they will not think anymore about anything and whoever is around them, especially the family who loves him.  Gambling is an activity that is very addictive, especially for those who feel a big win when they first-time start gambling, for that, control the behavior, and do not let the relationship that has been lived since childhood with family must be destroyed instantly because of gambling.

It's true and I think there have been many cases where relationships have been destroyed just because of gambling, not just affecting relationships with relatives or friends, but it can even end in divorce between husband and wife, I often see some information from the news that shows separation in triggered by economic conditions that were not possible or were getting weaker and added to this by the many problems of being in debt which of course I can imagine what their condition was like at that time, the allocation of money to something that was basically not needed, such as gambling, was one of the causes so that in end up experiencing chronic financial problems and losing balance.

Therefore it is important for us to understand what is actually called gambling, this is not a productive activity but only an activity for fun which should not be done seriously or even prioritized, otherwise there will be obvious negative impacts such as possibly suffering financial problems. It's something we might experience.

say someone who is addicted to gambling then he will experience drastic changes, because in my opinion someone who is addicted to gambling will experience a change in his attitude which may become more stubborn tend not to want to give in and easily get emotional because he doesn't want to give in Can regulate emotions well and of course this will affect the surrounding environment, including relatives, friends, or maybe other people.

the defeat that they always get at the end of gambling is what drives them to become addicted which can be detrimental to themselves and other people,  because if they become addicted of course they can lose their money quickly and in large amounts and people who are addicted tend to do anything that can make money to gamble again. Also, many cases have occurred where there are or perhaps many gamblers who borrow money to gamble again and of course this is not a good choice nor is it a solution to solve everything because doing this will only make them experience bigger problems. They can also do this to their friends or relatives and perhaps those who are addicted to gambling may not be able to control their emotions,  which could lead to violent actions when it comes to borrowing and borrowing money,  because in my opinion money is very sensitive.

Specifically, this is a gambling board and it is expected that only gambling related topics are to be discussed so on that sense, there shouldn't be any form of romantic tolerance about irresponsible gambling. Let it be preached and cautioned cordially so to whom it may concern can take a vivid note of it.
Hence  @BIT-BENDER,  talking about how not to push everything to the gambling may sound kind of consolidations or encouragement to such reckless and addicted gamblers in the sense that they may ignorantly find excuses out of it that afterall.... "They are not the only addicted persons whom had ruined their lives" with the thought that they are not alone on the mess.
Without going contrarily, lets call the spade a spade so that every misconducts could be conciously identified.

And yes of course there are series of engagements that can affect the family such as the drugs and related mentioned but the bottom line is that reckless and addicted gambling could affect gamblers relatives.

this is the reason we are here to keep saying it over and over again and never get bored of reminding each other that keep trying to be a responsible gambler, set limits on yourself so you dont become an addicted gambler and this all must be really paid attention to and this negative impact changes very quickly. life for someone who initially lived a healthy life without addiction but became very bad when he became addicted.
always think about a healthy mindset, really appreciate the money we have and understand how gambling works, that it's all just entertainment, use small money to gamble and think of this small money as providing profits to gambling owners to be able to develop their business bigger and provide new game that can entertain us.

this is the kind of mindset that a gambler must have, dont expect too much from gambling because we will never be able to win big if we are not lucky, whereas big luck sometimes only comes once in a lifetime and all this can save us from gambling addiction.

Increasingly, I always hear about the craziness of gambling addicts as OP said and of course it is the relatives or family who bear all the burden of shame for this addictive gambling behavior plus he (the addict) borrows money from relatives which is never returned.
with this, let us continue to learn to gamble responsibly to become healthy gamblers.

Everyone's way of gambling could affect their relatives, depending on how they go about it and the figure they represent or the role they play in the family they are coming from. If they are from a family the whole family's responsibility is placed on them for survival, that's when the gambling lifestyle of them, if addicted to gambling could affect their relative's life. But In the situation, where the person is not the main figure of the family, their gambling lifestyle if found addicted won't anyway affect their relatives because other relatives of theirs are financially okay in terms of taking care of their family

Let me share a little experience, I have a close friend, he is a good person, we even have the same passion for gambling. we often gamble together, and in the same place. in our city, roulette and baccarat were the most popular forms of gambling, including the ancient slot machines at that time. my friend is a rich man, he has a lot of property and business. as time went by, fiat online gambling emerged. I focused on fixing myself, my friend stuck with his gambling. in short, he spent all the assets he owned, including his property, at the gambling table. and finally, he owed money here and there. the point is, the story is almost the same as this thread. in the end, it was his family who shouldered all the debt problems.

however there are points that I disagree with what you say in this thread. I will quote him, "Theses sets of gamblers don't have remorse nor conscience about their gambling lifestyles". so, before we judge someone, it would be better if we got to know them better first. because there are many factors that cause it, apart from habits. there are many who regret what they did, but they have difficulty helping themselves to be free from their addiction. I hear many stories, tales, even in our community. in fact, they need help. apart from what I said, also with the contents of this thread, the one who is most responsible is ourselves. because, we ourselves allow ourselves to have no boundaries in this enjoyable entertainment. so it is important to remember and apply that responsibility is the most important part. we can be stuck in the past, or for some of us who are still having difficulty dealing with addiction. the important point is, have self-control, be responsible and learn from experience. make gambling part of your enjoyable entertainment, no need to be afraid of addiction. because, in fact, we all have self-control that we are born with. the problem is, do we want to get used to it and discipline it? if so, we will automatically only play according to the portion we can afford. apart from that, we will not involve our family in the hobbies we enjoy. so, the answer is simple, we are free because we are not harming anyone.

After talking about the ills of gambling addiction on the individual and their relatives or family that is if they are family oriented we should strike a balance by talking about the positive aspects of this effect on the individual and their relatives that is if they are also family oriented. Or actually there could be no effect at all. This is not always monochrome. There could be outliers as well and no experienced. The question of effect could come down to who is gambling? If the person who is gambling is the father, mother, or breadwinner of the home then we could observe an effect since these people wield a huge influence on their homes. However if it the the child who is still a student and a non-provider their gambling is likely not to affect the lives of their families since they have no influence and are just kids.

Those are the addicted gamblers, when you visit a local gambling house, then you see gamblers like that, some of them end up using all the money they came with to gamble, they will tell the gambling agent to pay if they can win, so they should be permitted to gamble more, and if they can’t win, then some gambling agents won’t allow them go with there mobile devices, some time addicted gamblers are always disgraced at gambling house, that alone is enough to stop some people’s addiction, but they won’t care, if they are disgraced today, they will still go back the following day to gamble.

Even when some addicted gamblers are being insulted, they don’t even care about what people say about them, they always keep on gambling and the only people that are always put In shame are there family members, they are the once that are always taking the responsibility.

There is this African proverb that people says, 'What an elderly person see, even if a young boy climb the tallest tree, he will not see it'. This is not about tree, child and elderly person. It's about what you see that those guys are not seeing. They see gambling as a Place to runaway from poverty when it is meant for fun and makes little change for passion; they are running from poverty to become homeless.

I did not only read this online, it's something I have experience personally from people that gambles all their life. They love gambling more than they love their stomach, they are ready to sacrifice their last money to gamble, they see every opportunity to  double their money and gamble, from look of there appearance they even look unkept and unhealthy and they will never listen any advice you give them.

Sometimes, I blame the government about there ways of gambling but this is not about basic needs, we have even the rich that have this character in gambling, they have went from been rich to becoming nothing.

I don't think that the relatives will have much of a case in this situation because casinos will not close their establishments just because of reckless gamblers if they are cooperative, they can agree to not allow the guy inside the arena so that they can't gamble with them, but if they wish, they can simply refuse to do so and say that it's the responsibility of the relatives and family members to stop the guy from coming to the arena for gambling and they can't do anything if he comes with money to gamble since it's their business.

They should exclude the guy from the arenas so he doesn't get to spend his money there. However, it's better if they handle the matter themselves instead because you can't blame a shopkeeper selling his stuff to someone who keeps coming back with money because they are running their business and they are working just to get that money, so they can't refuse it.

Some things are just meant for adults and not the younger ones so that it will not corrupt them as they grow, we should better keep it that way. I don't think this is hard either, it is all about us knowing the time and where we do adult things including gambling and keeping it away from those who are supposed not to be privy to it. By doing this, you are saving lives as you never can tell how much it could be devastating on the young ones, especially if they become addicted to it as they grow and it becomes uncontrollable for them. I don't think they can also forgive the person when they grow older as they flash back at it. This happens a lot. This is part of what we are referring to when we call responsibility in gambling, it is beyond the responsibility of gambling itself but also how it affects your life and the people around you. Even if you are such that is responsible for your gambling and also make money through it, you shouldn't let the younger ones know about it as the money-making sense of it is what they will be targeting not minding the risks involved. It might have been too late for them to realise this.

Unfortunately, many players have to pay for their failures in gambling and the trust of their loved ones. And this is a very high price, and almost every gambler who has undergone rehabilitation measures (treatment) for gambling addiction says that he would be ready to do anything if only his family would look at him with the same confidence as before. Unfortunately, it takes years to earn, but disappears in a second, after several immoral acts. But it’s still good that gamblers come to this, but there are lonely players who have no one to help and will plunge deeper and deeper into their sins.

It is wrong to say that addicted don't have or show remorse or regret for their gambling recklessness and all that, most addicted gamblers I've meet actually do not love the way their lives have turned out, but simply do not know how to help themselves.

I once had a friend who was a chronic gambling addict, one day, we got discussing and I asked him why he has not stopped gambling seeing it's not helping him financially, and neither is it helping his marriage, but rather, it's destroying everything as his wife was always complaining and complaining, he told me that it's not like he doesn't want to stop, he said he himself is tired but don't just know how to stop, that as long as there was money in his pocket, he somehow always find himself gambling even when he really does not want to knowing that there is alot of things to do with money.

This short experience i shared here is to prove to you that some gambler actually does show remorse and regret for all their mischievousness and so on, but then, because addiction have strong hold of them, it looks or seems like they don't really do.

I certainly understand this and at some point it's one of those things that if its not directly hurting someone, besides their feelings and how they feel about their family member doing what they are, I mean that sucks but it is what it is.

It's not like say suicide by a mother or father whos still got young kids that needs and depends on them to grow and mature in to a decent person.  However if they commit suicide once they are of adult age, then it's one of those things that effects them but, it was their choice and what they felt they needed to dos so...I dunno, it's a hard topic to discuss in some areas.

Not just relatives but your closest family will be affected if you are an irresponsible gambler. You might also influence one of them. But the most sad part here is that you're not having quality time bonding with your love ones because you spend more time on gambling.

When gambling, it's better you don't do it in front of your kids, because you might think they know nothing about what you are doing and won't try it out, but don't be surprised that kids might go behind your back and start gambling. The worst part is that they won't gamble responsibly, they might even end up getting addicted, and you will find it difficult to stop them from gambling. When gambling, make sure it's hidden, and don't let your kids know about your gambling activities.

There are a lot of ways in which your gambling addiction can affect your relatives lives. Sometimes it's not even all about you influencing some of your family members. If you haven't seen someone sell their properties to gamble before, then you will have heard about it from different places. People do end up selling their properties just because they want to gamble, some do sell their houses, and they will end up gambling with the money, which is going to render their family members homeless, some are not going to provide the necessary things the family members need, the money that they are supposed to use for that, they will end up gambling with, and their family members will end up suffering. Seriously, there are multiple things addicted gamblers do that do affect them and their family members.

From the part of the world you are chatting from there is an African adage which says that a thief has no shame but the relatives of the thief is the one that bears the shame of the thief. That is also what happens in gambling. The person addicted hardly understand that they are addicted but it is the relatives that understands that the gambler is addicted and looks for solution.

This is the reason why it is advisable to anyone to listen to their relatives and not necessarily their gambling mates when they are going too deep in gambling. This is because your family are the ones that will tell you your true image in the eyes of the people.

The gambler who want to shine in the game should not teach about the gambling to their relatives,because the game was not easy to learn.If your relatives had loss of game,sure they blame you and some may ask you to repay the loss.At that time you will understand my words of not sharing the relative value,because they take some time to learn.But they ask you to teach the game.Teaching the gambling is not the easy one,because the game can be learn with the practical experience.The import one is you should not be over confidence in the game after one big win in the gambling site.

Aside from influencing them, the burden that you're bringing to them that worries about you is going to be that much. Instead of them have nothing to worry with, a portion of their mind is thinking about you and how it is going to be with their relatives as well that you might influence. It's an equal and domino effect for the majority of them and you'll have to think about it because if you're an irresponsible gambler and you don't think the welfare of others but only yourself, there must be something wrong about you. It's okay to gamble on your own, spend your money and lose them all but when you see people around you are being influenced none other than you, you have to take precautions and have to adjust for their sake if ever you worry about them too.

It is normal for friends and relatives to be annoyed with the gambler's attitude because he does not gamble responsibly, especially if he borrows money and cannot pay it back, of course his family, friends and relatives will bear everything that the careless gambler does. Therefore, his relatives do something to stop the gambler, but in my opinion, even though they want to make various efforts, if the person is basically addicted, it will be difficult to stop him, he will do whatever it takes to keep gambling.

This is why every individual certainly cannot think about the impact, such as experiencing losses even though they have reached their last drop of blood and being forced to borrow to continue their activities, where this will happen again, namely losing all the borrowed money and not producing anything. Gambling addiction is very dangerous and it even feels like gamblers are being brainwashed into continuing to gamble before winning.

Yes, that's true because there will definitely be influences that will occur on the people around us that we won't realize. Moreover, if our emotions are first affected because of the results we receive from gambling, our mood will probably change so that when we interact with the people around us, it will clearly influence them. By gambling more often, we will spend more free time gambling rather than bonding with the people around us or our partners. That will make our relationship with them strained, and in the future, there may be more frequent misunderstandings. But if we can balance gambling with spending our free time with the people around us, maybe it won't interfere with our relationships with them.

It's true what you say, if that happened to me personally and the borrower was irresponsible in borrowing money to gamble, then I would feel annoyed and disappointed with his behavior and attitude, and maybe the friendship would be a little strained because of his mistake.
 We all know that it is very risky to force yourself to gamble with borrowed money because apart from having to pay, there is also a high level of trust, if it is wasted then the relationship will be destroyed. Therefore, avoid borrowing money from friends to gamble, it is better to use your own money so as not to add new problems to your life.

No addict can hide his addiction, so the people closest to him should be able to take action to help him recover from his addiction so that he doesn't do something more destructive because his addiction is already quite serious.
Continuing to gamble until you go bankrupt and also into debt will certainly damage relationships because the family will have a bad impact from the addict's behavior, such as when the family has to face debt collectors or when the family finally has to help him pay off debts, but not always gambling can damage relationships because those who can do it fully responsibility will always limit him from becoming an addict.

That's right, if they gamble irresponsibly then it will become a burden on their family, even if they borrow from their own relatives or family members most likely they will not pay it because they feel that their own family is unlikely to make an issue of it, but in reality everyone is sensitive to their finances, so even if they borrow money from their family they still have to pay and repay it because it is their own responsibility which is the act of themselves doing it.

I think that's right, those who are addicted to gambling are brainwashed so they will continue to gamble until they get a really big win, people who are addicted to gambling of course they will do anything that can make money with the aim of the money to use gambling, and the bad side is that they might be able to commit criminal acts that can harm others. and this is one of the bad effects of gambling addiction.

By coming up with addiction stage for sure all activities is been noticeable so for sure people around him might also get affected especially if they see him doing some more risky action just to proceed on what they like or do some crazy deeds just to gamble.

We know how destructive this addiction state that's why we should avoid coming in this condition to avoid creating more conflict since for sure those people near us will feel bad and might stay away since they don't want to get involve on anything especially on stressful scenario that might came due to some crazy actions that we might do. So to avoid having those problems people should think and learn about past peoples addiction so they will not in bad position that they might regret in future.

This also depends on how the gambler relates to his environment, if the gambler does not like to mingle with people around or relatives this will not be detected directly.
They tend to close themselves off with their gambling work and no one knows what they are really doing.

Especially if gambling is done online, all will not be visible.
But yes, the first signs of how addicted someone is to gambling are his behavior that is too strange and the tendency to do risky actions to get money or whatever.

Relatives lives is already that too far for us to have some concern on which it is really just that right on where you should be mindful about into your own familys condition or situation
rather than on your relatives because they are the ones who would really be mainly be affected on the time that you would really be having that kind of gambling addiction problems.
You would really be that having that priority of course into your own family on which you do know that it is really that something that you would be mainly need to have rather than on thinking on what your relatives would really be telling against you. Showing some concern? Then its good but if not then it would be your own choice whether you would be listening to them or not.

Yes, that's right, and it's a fact that sometimes people spend more time gambling than sharing time with their family, so there is poor communication, which makes it disharmonious, that's why we have to maintain good communication with our family and never bring up gambling problems. on the family because it will not be good in the end, the point is that gambling without having to have a bad influence on the family.

This means that you should gamble to a reasonable extent, not excessively and still have time to spend with your family. The point is, never borrow money when gambling if you don't have the money or if you lose, stop when you lose and run out of money because time doesn't end on that day, there is still time tomorrow to can gamble again, so think about gambling without affecting our family life.

Such gambling addict needs support and not to be disgraced or treated like an outcast. What such a person needs is to be sent to a rehabilitation center where he will be restricted from gambling and taught how to gamble responsibly. I don't think the relative has any authority to stop any casino from stopping a mature gambler from gambling. Maybe they can get a medical report backed by a police report to enforce such laws. Threatening these casinos with legal action might not be proper.

Every gambler has the sole responsibility to gamble with care. They shouldn't see gambling as a source of income or a part-time or full-time job. This is why underaged are not allowed to gamble. Gambling is for mature adults who should be able to control themselves. If you put your family under pressure because of your gambling disorder they may decide to abandon you. Even when you are arrested due to your failure to pay debt incurred from gambling, nobody will care to support you. Such a person might end up in jail.

If we are talking about gambling addiction we should also consider the benefits aspect of it although some people might not see this part because they channels all their thinking and mindset to generate something valuable like making a fortune out of it.

Even as that gambling addiction began to arose when the bettor or the gambling doesn't have a safe control over his actions or how might focused his mind towards gambling.

We can easily become an addicted gambler when we don't have our own words or stands on our words and decision, the way we talks about gambling addiction today we are also having people who is responsible gambler and they didn't allowed their greed and emotion control them even as they are trying to strive to make changes of their lives.

Ordinarily in life anything that is born out of addiction will certainly ruin your life, your relative will try as much as they can to salvage you from that chains of chronicity because they cannot just stand and watch you go down the drain as either they are relatives or a friends, so a healthy gambling lifestyle for everybody is what we should be always preaching,  so for me whatever measures the relatives are taking to curtail the excesses of the victim, is a welcome development, ordinarily they will be ashamed of the situation but they are the only help the person have.

Once we fall into addiction, that eventually ruins our reputation and relationship with others. The common reason is unsettled debts. This very shameful act by most gamblers who have not thought anymore to recall their promises.

Addiction has a huge impact on mental and physical which is why notice sudden changes in their behavior and the way they talk, and usually have a high temper. Because a gambler who have fallen into addiction can no longer determine who they are as in their mind is to gamble.

It's not only a relationship but also your finances and your mental health, gambling addiction ruins these three important things in your life, if you continue being addicted for a long time you will end up with nothing.

So if you're going to gamble moderation and priorities are important, gambling should be the least of your priorities, treat it as a form of entertainment something that you can leave everything or replace.

But if you make it your priority, you will end up miserable and you will eventually lose everything you value, gambling casinos are not meant to ruin one's life they have it in their terms that you should moderate your gambling and only play with money that you can afford to lose, if you heed this advice and follow this you will come out ok and at peace with yourself and loved ones.

Addiction is always synonymous with overdoing something, not just in gambling but also with other things that in general usually have a bad impact. On the other hand, if indeed their gambling involvement involves or even harms other people, one of them is the closest relative or brother, then yes I would agree with your idea that most likely his relatives will definitely help the person to get out of this bad activity, even though we don't know what they will do but with the intention alone I think it's very good. Another thing is that I think one of the things that relatives can/will do to overcome their addiction is to limit the person's activities in every way possible in order to keep them away from gambling.

But on the other hand, we must know that all methods and assistance are very unlikely to succeed if the person suffering from addiction does not want to do it or means not wanting to stop to get better and get out of the addiction problem, because obviously overcoming gambling addiction must always start from the person's awareness which of course with that it will be able to pave the way and facilitate the healing process, but if they themselves refuse help from their relatives then I think it is still quite unlikely to succeed.

The gambler doesn't feel this pain, only the family that does because it's not a simple task for family to handle all the troubles he may have caused them. So the family of the gambler needs to accept the challenge and endeavor to help the person out of addiction. We have seen families who neglect all the symptoms and think that the player may get out of his problem gambling soon, but it persists. A family with less experience on how gambling addiction operates in human brain don't really care about their ward who is addicted until he begin to act strange and accumulate debts which the family would end up clearing. Healing a struggling person should be a team work. This is the time the person needs his loved ones the most. Nobody is being brainwashed, it's more of a mental problem and not all gamblers are aware of the impacts of not having self control could cause to their life and that of the family.

Why should how I gamble be a concern to my relatives to the extent of affecting them the bad way, everyone will be accountable to how he lived his own life and the influence we receive from those around us are to be accepted or declined by us and not that they were being forced on us or we on them, if you must learn something from someone, take decision in learning the good and leaving the rest which are unfit for your own benefits, only how you can affect them is when they are too dependent on you and you're becoming irresponsible the more.

This line is very accurate, because it iterates the point at which dependants become affected by the lifestyle of the ones who look after them.
So, wherein one lives alone or separate from their relatives, the habits or lifestyle would not have any influence on those not around.

If the relatives know one gambles and still, such one doesn't beg or steal from them to afford the pleasures of gambling, it would be of no consequence to anyone because it doesn't affect them, unless, the said gambler is seriously indebted such that it affects their reputation and tarnishes the family name, then it has affected them already.

We have seen the negative influence that occurs in many of the lives of those involved in the world of gambling. Things like this may be familiar in some countries and have become commonplace for a group of gamblers.

Problems with relatives, family, environment, maybe bad things have often happened, whether it is criminal acts such as theft, loans, robbery and so on, However, all of this always affects and harms the general environment, so always gamble professionally and responsibly, we know that gambling always has the opportunity to be negative, Thus, gamble as much as we can, don't be too forceful to do it, so that we avoid losses to other people, relatives, the environment and so on.

Gambling has an big time addiction but I think we overstretched the discussion sometime. I gamble and not even my close people tell them until one day I showed them my winning ticket and they were like, so you gamble, questions like how can you have sure games and you didn't inform us blah blah. I gambled very well in the month of December during the holiday season because I didn't visit anyone nor go out like other people did but January I reduced it because work has resume and I didn't even feel the impact of going back nor anything missing from life.

I think addiction comes with idleness, if you don't have anything that takes most of your time and you gamble madly everyday doing gambling and trying to make a living from gambling will make you look like a loser, you will think of anything in life other than gambling and gambling and that's how I think addiction and relationships get affected especially from people that are closer to you.

Talking about gambling addiction, it is a loss and can have tremendous negative impacts. When talking about gambling addiction, there is something called the domino effect, so that when someone is addicted to gambling, he will not only suffer financial losses, but this will have other negative impacts, both in terms of economics, life and mental health. and even to a domestic relationship. Because quite a few people are addicted to gambling, they lose their business, some lose their jobs, there are also those who are stressed because they often get tired, which makes them a bit temperamental and irritable, and there are also those whose household relationships are destroyed because of gambling. This can happen, because a gambling addict tends to prioritize his gambling activities over things that are more important than gambling, which involve his obligations and responsibilities.

It is quite obvious that gambling and betting can affect the life of our relatives and others we interact with everyday. There is no mistery about it, someone getting addicted to gambling and engaging on it while other depending on that person, usually means there will be very bad consequences.
Also, because tragedies and bad things associated with gambling are the ones which are more widespread concerning Relations with family members and the life of relativesz those are the stories we are the most likely to hear or read about.
However, we also must acknowledge the other face of the coin and consider the situation of someone winning big in the casino and how that newly earned amount of money would affect the life of their relatives, it would be very positive in the most of the cases.

A different scenario to keep in mind would be someone being part of a very religious family, depending on it the relationship with the rest of the family members would  completely erode or not based on the gambling activity.

When any gambler is addicted, then I do not think that it is in any way beneficial for him. An addicted gambler will always spend and lose more money in gambling and he will just make his life miserable due to gambling addictions.


When you are in a state of gambling addiction, you will most probably not in the state to analyse what is good or bad for you. This may be the reason why you are not focused and will not be able to make right decisions.



If only the addicted gambler can get lessons from the responsible gambler, that may help them change their gambling styles. I really find it hard when one is addicted to gambling and he manages to change himself.
A gambler who is addicted, he is not only suffering for himself but his family also suffers. Usually, if an addicted gambler spends a lot of money on gambling, this will also effect his family as that money belongs to his family too, which is being lost in gam bling.

It might affect your life first and then the lives of the people around you because you might do harm to them when you desperately need more money to gamble. The people in your country is strange or too evil enough to think like that. What if that bad thing also happens to them? Pretty sure they will also feel bad. Though maybe not all people there are like that? You for example.

You admit that you are also involved in gambling but at the same time you also admit that you are doing better with your life. But That was nice to here mate. If only more people are like that, the image of gambling won't ever be ruined but it will only be praised more.

Anyone would feel annoyed if our sibling borrowed the money and in the end it had an impact on us and had to bear the consequences of the gamblers gambling, maybe for him this was not a burden but we who are his siblings felt that he was a burden to us because he continues to carry out stupid action that harm everyone, borrowing money is an act that is out of controls because he is no longer able to gamble but is still determined to do it. So that it destroys his life and the people closest to him also feel the impact.

It's true that gambling is full of risky. Even if you don't borrow money, it's already very detrimental, let alone borrowing where the debt must be paid. Whereas if you spend it on gambling, how can they pay the debt?

Even though people blame him for being an irresponsible gambler, he won't pay attention to it so he will continue to play and gamble until he is satisfied. Borrowing from a brother doesn't seem like this will be easy because his brother knows the money is used for gambling, but he will borrowing from other people and the burden being borne by his family and siblings so he continues to gamble with the borrowed money. If it's like this I think it's appropriate for him to be treated because his addiction has been so detrimental that even his family has been affected.

Someone who is addicted will find it difficult to stop because all that is on his mind is the ambition to achieve satisfaction and achieve big profits or recover the losses he has experienced so far so he will not stop before getting back the money he has lost because addicts believe that their money will one day come back again, even though it is very difficult to get.

It is sad to see people getting addicted to gambling and ruin their lives. Not only they suffer but their friends and family also suffer because of their bad choices. It is important for people with gambling addictions to realize how it affects their relationships and the people they caring about. To stop this family members should step in and stop the addicted person from gambling. They even have to take legal action against the places where they gamble. It is important for everyone to understand that gambling too much can have serious consequences for themselves and the people around them.

I have a cousin who is so addicted to gambling to the extent that he borrows money at any available opportunity, even most time he owes the betting company and when he's been called to order by the family the next day he's gonna either borrow another money or will owe the bet company, even we as his family are the ones bearing the brunt as we're the ones paying for the debts he has incurred. We even arrested him and made him sign an undertaking in the police station never to gamble or borrow money again but yet after he was released he still kept on with same habits like we all are tired.

It is really very bad that someone will go to the length of gambling with anything due to addiction and these people are not even ashamed of themselves as the relatives and family members are the ones that others meet to complain about their gambling habits which is very shameful.

We must supervise and pay attention to each family member and ensure they do not borrow money from other people to gamble. We also shouldn't do it because it will only cause problems for us and our family. That's why we have to practice self-control until we can really control ourselves well and won't be tempted by the promotions given by the casino. With self-control, we can always gamble with clear boundaries so that we will not experience gambling addiction like other gamblers have experienced.

We can advise family members who are caught borrowing money from other people to gamble and show that it has an impact so that, slowly, they will come to their senses and will not want to do it again. He will remember that it will cause problems for him and his family so he will try to avoid it. The problem that will arise from borrowing money is that it will be difficult to return the money if we experience a total loss so we have to try to be able to pay it off. But those who are used to borrowing money won't be able to realize it until finally everything turns bad and affects their family too.

When a gambler loss his own money on bet, it does not make a big impact. But when he borrows a small amount of money and gambles, it definitely starts to turn deadly. As the gambler borrows money in this way, he unmasks himself to all his own relatives. It is not only the gambler who is in trouble. He is also putting his relatives in danger. Drug and Gambling Addiction Whatever happens the addict loses his normal consciousness which affects his close relatives. By this a gambler not only suffers financially but also deteriorates his relations with his relatives.

Without being addicted, even the responsible gamblers that gambles for fun do still have the profitable mindsets while in the field of their gaming so, I don't think there is any side benefits in being addiction rather than the life it ruins and there is no positive benefits of doubt being an addicted gambler would offer other than taking your emotions out of your control.
Finally, you can still chase profits without being an addiction.

The thing is, most casinos give people the option to self-exclude themselves, but they do not offer relatives of the gambling addict the option to exclude the family member with the gambling problem.

The other thing is, even after self-exclution... gamblers are bombarded with gambling advertisements, so the temptation is still there in their face. (Casinos should remove all marketing to those self-excluded people)

The gambling addict should also take resposibility for their actions and accept that they have a problem and that they need to seek proffesional help.

It really has to be done, the family has to act by helping those who are addicted to gambling to stop their addiction, but in my opinion, even if the family helps them to stop gambling, even if they take actions that might lead to violence in order to make those who are addicted aware, it won't work. if they themselves are addicted to gambling, they have no awareness of their addiction and do not have the slightest intention to give up gambling. because in my opinion someone who is addicted to gambling will experience changes in attitude and behavior and tend to become someone who is more stubborn so they will not easily accept input and suggestions from other people.

The brainwashing that is meant is just a proverb, friends, I mean that their minds are filled with gambling and with winnings from gambling, which makes them addicted to gambling, problems that occur because of their wrong thinking, right? It's natural that they don't realize the impact of gambling because their wrong thinking makes them only think about gambling and not think about other things.

In my opinion, that could happen, because his family already knows that he borrowed the money to gamble, so it's possible they won't give it to him,  and if that's the case  of course people who are addicted to gambling won't lose their minds,  so they You can borrow from other people or from financial companies that can provide loans,  and of course they won't say they're borrowing money to gamble because that's why most people probably won't give loans therefore they will take out loans for other reasons. and of course this can have an impact on their families because because they may not be able to pay off their debts, the person concerned by lending them money could approach their family to ask for responsibility for the actions of their family members who are addicted to gambling.

what makes it interesting to me is that people who are addicted have ambition, where they have such big desires  but they are in the wrong place.  by gambling as a goal to recover losses which makes them eager to get a win that who knows when it will happen thus making them lose more money.

and therefore gamble responsibly so that your gambling will not harm those closest to you. because after all, when you live with your siblings or parents, other people will judge your behavior and will associate this with the people closest to you. if you behave well, maybe other people will judge that your family are good people. but when you don't behave well, especially being an aggressive and irresponsible gambling addict, other people will not only judge you badly but also your siblings and parents who don't give advice or take action to prevent you from becoming an addict and that will lead to shame on them. and therefore gamble responsibly so that your actions will not harm those closest to you.

I have seen situations like this and several times and it wasn't an easy thing. My cousin was involved in something like this and he was selling his personal belongings to gamble and when he sold everything he had he was playing gamble with borrowed funds and his family members were always called to come and pay for his debt. It was so embarrassing. Having a gambling addict in a family is not an easy thing to deal with.

When an individual is addicted to gambling, they'll not know they're addicted. They'll think they're like every other individual and just gambling responsibly but they're not and are making the life of others around them miserable. Gambling addicts can waste all their money gambling, borrow from their family members or friends to gamble and put them in debits too without knowing they're not doing what is right. I don't advice anyone to hang around addictive gamblers as it can influence you.

All individuals have to get it that anything they do don't just affect their lifes but it affects the life of others around them. This includes their family, love ones and friends. Sometimes it affect a bigger cycle of individuals as there are children watching how we behave and learn foeim us. We should be responsive at all times and be a good example to the next generation that'll come after us as there's no benefits in being addicted to gambling.

Total lack of self awareness, some people only know how to learn when it's already too late, but while people are trying to advice them they will not listen, no matter how stupid an advice may sound, you may never know, try to be calm and listen first, not all advice are good, but it's a great thing to hear them out first, then pick the ones that will be useful for you and dump the rest.

You could be doing something wrong, and your present state of mind will accept it like it's normal, but when you give room to advice your mind can grab something helpful from the advice, this is a big problem with some gamblers, they are so stubborn that they will never listen to people, they will feel like they are better at making decisions.

The cautious of your surroundings, make sure that what you are doing isn't having a bad impact on others around you, this is why I told someone that it's better to be a single person as a gambler than having a family, because it's no more you alone, your decisions will affect them as well, unless you don't care, which is a habit of greedy people who thinks only for themselves.

If someone has sold their personal belongings to gamble, they may have become addicted to gambling without anyone realizing it. He cannot stop himself from gambling and already considers gambling to be more important than other things, even though he must have had other activities before he knew about gambling. This is what every gambler must be aware of so that they can avoid gambling addiction and their family should be able to detect their gambling addiction from the start after they act out of habit. His family may suspect that he has been gambling excessively and if his family does not know about his gambling activities, the impact could be even worse. Hopefully, your cousin will realize that he has made a fatal mistake and has the desire to stop his gambling activities.

In the event that you've got a lot of time on your hands, you'll want to make sure that you've got a good idea of what you're getting yourself into. Starting from not having responsibility, the problem will spread to everything, especially one of our closest members, for example, it is not uncommon to find gamblers who like to borrow money from one of their relatives who eventually cause problems because of the inability to pay debts due to excessive gambling and even though they have money but of course the first thing they think about is to fund their gambling and not to pay debts.

Not only that, the scenario can also be like what you said where the point of view of the surrounding community will be bad as a result of the behavior of an addicted gambler who usually ranks like a madman and agreif, acting out of control and even very likely to commit crimes such as stealing etc., which of course can embarrass their extended family in the eyes of the surrounding people. I think there should be something that one of his siblings should do to at least advise him not to overdo the gambling, although the possibility is small but it doesn't matter as long as it is consistent I think it can make them change a little.

What you should do is give gaming advice, it's very easy to say, "take note... for trite advice... about being a `good citizen`"

You have to be an example of what can be done with facts, show that you can quit the game, that you can bet and not die trying, run a successful gaming blog, or how you came out to downsize and abandoned the game and are happy .

No one recovers from bad habits just by: "tapping them on the shoulder", or by coming and writing: Take note.   :)

If your gambling habits are negatively effecting your relatives you really do need to seek help.  I couldn't imagine having a habit so bad that you have to borrow money from family members knowing that you will never repay them, just so you can continue your habit.  I understand that people can have different beliefs and can discriminate against you for how you live your life regardless of if you believe it is bad or not.  However, if you're having to borrow money to keep your habit going and can no longer even provide for yourself, it's a major problem.

It is good when we adjust our gambling and do not make it affect us especially our relatives. Gambling is supposed to be fun and calculative. This is what many of the big players do before they go in for any bet. Once we are able to calculate and do the normal things that are necessary for us to win a bet, we can be rest assured that we arf going to be seeing more of profits than loses or the profits will be more that the overall loses. Relatives are important people in our life and we should not allow our gambling career to affect our family rapport or relationship.

There are similar situations as this common amongst most gamblers especially those who are using gambling as a sole source of income, they are so dependent on gambling that they gamble almost every day with high hopes of recovery even when its clear at some point that they are not likely to win even with their multiple trials.

Such persons as your cousin needs professional help probably from a psychologist, therapist or a psychiatrist, any of these people could be of help to getting him out of such addiction els he may continue and things could get really mess around the family resulting from his gambling habit. Going to pay for his dept always will only get him to continuing because he knows that he's got a family that will come rescue him from the mess so instead of paying his depts always that money could be used to seek help for him and an end will be put to such menace

I've noticed that it's rare not to have in a family a person who acts in a strange manner. It could be as a result of childhood upbringing. Which may have affected the person psychologically. Home training changes people differently. Grown ups hardly find it difficult to change, once the person gets addicted it takes lots of effort to cure their problem gambling. Even after the problem has been solved the gambler would find himself undergoing similar gambling symptoms for a while until he's completely in control of his actions. Advising them helps, but not everyone loves to take one, especially when they didn't ask for it. As families we only need to have to closely observe the person and endeavor he's not gambling all the time. Explaining to them that gambling once a day is achievable can help the gambler would decide to try it out some day. Then he'd follow the routine of gambling once a day for a long time till it's now a part of him.

When a person can't stop themselves from gambling, it becomes an addiction that takes over their life.  They lose all self-control and can't walk away, even when the consequences are piling up.  This dangerous spiral impacts not just the gambler, but their whole family and  it's why they say this addiction has ruined so many lives - once it sinks its hooks in the damage spreads.   

Ive seen good folks reduced to desperation after emptying their accounts in casinos or at online poker tables night after night.  They keep chasing that win, thinking this time will pay off all their debts from the last losses and then some.  Families torn apart, jobs lost, hopes dashed - it's a sad story that plays out again and again. 

So if you ever feel that itch to risk it all for a big payout walk away.  Enjoy a little entertainment now and then, but don't get pulled into the vortex.  Your people need you, probably more than you know.  Don't let them down.

Unfortunately this scenario can happen in many different scenarios and comes down to an individual becoming addicted to something. I've seen very similar things happen when it comes to drugs, even ones that have been legalized for a long time like alcohol. The reality is that we all choose our own destiny, many of these people could reverse course at any point in their life, but they need to hit rock bottom and accept that is where they are. Then there are those people who live in denial, even tricking themselves into thinking that it is a happy way to live, these are the most dangerous and unsalvageable ones - because they have adjusted to misery for so long they start to actually enjoy it.

it saddens me when people fail to understand this simple trickery at the expense of their funds, happiness, life and emotions - This is fucking business.. even if you were able to win today, it doesn't mean the casino lost anything.. there aren't any "losing game" for them...(especially virtual sites) why? It's highly monitored and professionally programed..
I've never heard of such restrictions - I don't even know the possibilities there... But if this storyline is actually non-fictional, then the said family must be leaving in affluence.

  I can tell you from personal experience that it affects every aspect of living. Emotionally, life is good when they are winning, but if they are losing you have to deal with thier anger, frustration and irrational thinking. It’s like walking on eggshells from week to week wondering if today is a good day or a bad day. Financially, everything declines. Even if a gambler has great days, the reality is that they come very few and far between. For every winning day there are many days of losing everything. Just like the emotional rollercoaster, everything else happened in the same kind of waves. It’s common to go from having alot of food in the house to having nothing, from having plenty of money to pay the bills to scrambling to make due dates, from having a comfortable easy life to being stressed out and anxious as the money comes and goes.
   The reality of an addicted gambler is that it’s a never ending loop and it isn’t until they hit rock bottom and just have no more money to gamble when they see the damage around them. For some this could include valuables in pawn shops, payday loans at several locations, etc.. They are always looking for that next big win to reclaim everything that was lost. Sometimes it happens. But, most of the time, it doesn’t.

True, but easier said than done. When addicted, you don't think about anything else but gambling and how to win the lost amount back. I am saying these things from my experience because I have been through times like these. Everything revolves around gambling, if you have a good session you are happy and talking to people and when you lose, you are isolated.

Gambling is just like any other disease that needs to be treated and will not go away by itself. It's a problem and there is no shame in reaching out to your close ones or even a professional for help.

It's not only limited to gambling addiction because even on drugs, alcohol etc. this kind of problem is already existing. The common here in our place is alcohol addiction, everyday drunk that cause trouble to the family since the person is becoming violent and aggressive everytime he is in such condition. It's a shame for the family, they even had to let the person arrested for being out of control. I think this kind of problem won't be easily solve without the intervention of health professionals. They need to undergo rehabilitation in order to control their behaviour and to overcome what they have been going through.

It's really true that overuse of anything is not really good. Thus, we have to keep in our minds that if we gamble, make sure that you can discipline yourself not to go beyond your limit.

A person who gambles responsibly is unlikely to ever become addicted. A person who does not gamble responsibly will have a 100% chance of becoming addicted. Gambling is a deadly game that is not only harmful to the gambling addict but also to the family and relatives. Here I am not considering gambling as bad but I am considering gambling addiction as worst.

Self-exclusion in online crypto casinos is seriously a joke. I mean it's too damn obvious that you can make a new account without any verification and gamble again whenever you want to, so how does self-exclusion help or even make sense it beyond me.

In fiat casinos, these exclusions make more sense because there you cannot gamble or withdraw without KYC and you obviously cannot use the same documents for a new account.

I think once you are addicted, the only way out is your family or friends who can stop you from gambling. Otherwise, it's a dead end.

Gamblers who can't control themselves while gambling can never do anything good. Although gambling is a serious addiction, everyone gets addicted to gambling even after knowing it. There are people who like to gamble in their free time.  People who have taken up gambling as a career only gamble for money, which results in losing all their money and ruining relationships with everyone.

Yes, regarding the nature and behavior, it is true as you said that usually such behavior starts from the parents' mistakes in educating their children when they were young, simply put, if their parents educate them harshly or mean to treat them harshly since childhood, then usually when they grow up they have traits and behaviors not much different from what their parents taught them, But for this problem I really can't make it a benchmark for someone to then enter addiction when they grow up, because I think what makes more sense is the wrong environmental factors that can really make someone involved in gambling until they enter the addiction phase or other negative things.

The environment has a very big influence on a person's behavior and changes in any case, it can lead to positive or negative things and usually the environment when they are older is where all these situations and scenarios can start, on the other hand basically it is not an easy thing to get out of gambling or even the addiction zone, because there are so many temptations that are difficult to miss by them and as you said that although there are many suggestions that are so good but not everyone can accept them into consideration. Therefore, the conclusion is that the action to cure gambling addiction must come out of themselves, or that means it cannot be forced and will really be successful or likely if there is basically a firm intention and sincerity from someone who is already addicted to recover.

point of correction @rojan it's not everyone that  gambles that gets addicted to gambling, there are many responsible gamblers as there are addictive gamblers. Even though a person chooses to take gambling as a career he or she can moderate his urge to making profit so as not to make losses to the length that starts to affect your family members and also destroying your own life.

When you don't gamble responsibly, it is going to ruin your life. We've seen too many gamblers that have ended badly because they can't control themselves and the effect of gambling to them was enormous and terrible. They can't handle the heat of gambling and that's the reason if someone is going to that direction, you need to check yourself once in a while because you'll never know if you're still in the good shape.

As for the ones that are gambling responsibly, everyone is aware of how it goes and with how much they're willing to lose. While you're losing, and you're thinking of borrowing money from your relatives, that's a wrong thing to do. They'll think of you as a bad gambler and you don't deserve any loan from any of them. Aside from that, any arguments that you'll make against them, you're not going to win. Why? It's very simple and that is because you're a gambler, no gambler will win an argument if you just came from losing and you have nothing to show them.

So, you don't argue with them, accept the losses and your faith as a gambler. If you are not going to change any time soon, that will be your personal choice.

The gambler should keep in mind the free money lone used to gamble,but to get additional money many times gamblers risk their money which was the source of the some work.This was the blunder doing by the gamblers on their greedy to recover their loss,but the recovery of the loss is not depend upon the gambler luck alone.Sometimes gamblers needs to use the real money wisely to gamble,because some loses into the gambling will ruin the gamblers life.The gamblers should understand the basic fact of the money used in the gambling site may be loss completely.But the gamblers should not blame the gambling site for the loss.

People who are addicted to gambling will continue to try so that they can get money so they can continue gambling, and the only way is to borrow from loan sharks or banks with high collateral such as house certificates or other valuable collatera that they steal from their own family secretly or he could be reckless in committing other crimes or stealing his own relatives' things, because basically gambling addiction is very dangerous, they can't control themselves from doing things that are out of control.

Yes, that is what is on the minds of gambling addicts because all they think about is winning, recovering losses and satisfying their desires. If they have lost all their possessions, their relatives stay away from them and their families don't care, then they will be even more neglected, if it is like that That means his life will change drastically and he will no longer be trusted by the people around him because his gambling life is no longer healthy.

I don't see gambling as bad because a person who can control himself to gamble can never be bad. A person who can't control himself while gambling is better not to gamble than to gamble while gambling. We see gambling as entertainment.  Yes. If we look at gambling as entertainment then we don't think we should face any problems for gambling.

That's a common things on the addicted gamblers, I have also seen lots of people who are addicted on gambler and they bring their family and friend into a tuff situations. A few a days ago a friend of mine shared his personal experience with me that a cousin of his had taken a huge amount of loan from him but now he is not returning his money even after being in danger. And later he comes to know that his cousin lost the money he took from him in gambling. Now at present my friend and his cousin do not have much relationship. So from this point of view yes gambling can affect on family and relatives also.

Your comment brings to light a sad truth: people who are addicted to gambling lose all their money and cause problems for their friends and family. The effects of risky gambling go beyond the person who is hooked to it and affect people close to them. It's sad to see how much debt people have and how much trouble they cause for their family members, who often have to step in to stop the bad behavior.

A desperate attempt to break the circle of addiction is to threaten to broadcast the addicted gambler to gambling boards and take legal action if they don't stop. It once again shows how important it is to understand how irresponsible gaming can affect relationships and the whole family.

We should be very careful when we gamble, and we should be aware of how it can affect our personal and social lives. Getting help for problems related to gambling and gambling in a responsible way can help lessen the bad effects on oneself and those close to someone who is dealing with addiction.

What your friend experienced was the result of lending money to other people, and he used it for gambling. And the impact may spread without him knowing because, after all, his family will be involved and may already feel the impact of his gambling activities. And apparently, his friend often gambled so he dared to take out a large loan. That is why gambling can have an impact on the people closest to you, especially the family, because when gambling, a person needs money and he can take money that will be used by his family so that his family cannot meet their daily needs. This often happens in many families and may not be exposed to the media so we don't see it too often. But there is an even bigger impact that that person will experience with their family and their environment.

Same experience to us, we have a relative who is asking for help and We have helped him to find a way to get a loan. Usually in lending companies they are looking for collateral, my mom offered to make the paper of our motorcycle as a collateral so that my uncle could borrow the money. We didn't know that the money he owed would only be used for gambling. He lied to my mother because we knew he would use the money to build a business but that was not his motive. That was 5 years ago and up until now, We were unable to claim our motorcycle paper because my uncle wasn't able to pay the pending loan. What happened to him now? He still a gambler addict and he chose to become a full time gambler rather than looking for a stable job, what he did have ruined his relationship with our mom.

Most of the time, those who already suffering from gambling addiction can really go up to this far, they can take the money which originally
for house budget instead of letting the wife to keep it the addicted gambler will not give it and use it to gamble.

Most outcome turned against the gambler and that's the beginning of getting problem with the relationship, they are not going to be happy
when the gambler spend all his money to the point that they will loan it and suffer from paying it back.

That kind of gambler's style is really difficult because the addiction he has is quite deep, and it's not that easy to get rid of immediately. It will take time to change this. It won't affect our family if it doesn't reach them, and there aren't any affected properties just because of gambling.

But if it leads to bankruptcy, it will really have a bad effect on our family because we ourselves have been negligent and have not been able to control ourselves because of the addiction we have.

I quite agree with you that not everyone that gamble are addicted to gambling, still there are people that control the way they gamble so to prevent themselves from addiction, I believe that only addicted gamblers drag their relatives or family members into mess to the extent of loss love for the person just because of the trouble he or she bring to house, addiction is very dangerous because it makes someone useless their life and bring a lot of shame to the family. Gambling ruined someone life only if the person allow it to control him or her.

It cannot be forced out of them, but a person who notices his friend or relation behavior changed for the worse, can try different techniques to cure the person. The major issue is not being able to finding out of his addiction. Once that's unveiled the relative would be able to look into the trouble. When the gambler has decided to hide his addiction, healing will not be achieved, because you can't threat what you don't know about. Those who find it hard to change a person even after finding out that the person is into gambling addiction, hardly engage in conversations with the addict. The brain easily changes towards what a person thinks. As you said about the child's environment, he thinks like his environment. Hence, if the people around him discuss about gambling or practice it the child will someday begin to gamble. Same applies to the relevance of having conversation on other utilities that may interest the addict, given time he'll begin to think about the activity until his full concentration on gambling begins to reduce.

This is true. Good thing that in the world of gambling, there are still responsible gamblers even how addicted they are. These gamblers went from worse to better because of their experience. Sad reality but sometimes, gamblers need to experience the worst before becoming better gamblers.

Unfortunately, not all gamblers can bounce back from being worse and now end up in a much more critical situation. These gamblers don't think of anything else now and just focus on how to sustain their gambling habit. In that particular situation, someone needs to step up to save these people as they are now out of control even by themselves.

I didn't understand anything you said.  The op asked whether your gambling affects the lives of your relatives as well as you.  But you comment is off topic.  However when you get involved with gambling it only affects your life because everyone has their own personal life.  Your gambling problem may affect your family but it will not have such a serious effect on the lives of relatives. Because your relatives are not dependent on your financial status

Yes, that's true, because if they are addicted to gambling and run out of capital, of course they will do things that can make money so they can carry out gambling activities again. even though if they take out a loan like that it will only cause them more difficulties and perhaps even ruin their lives. I agree with that, if gambling addiction is a dangerous thing, because if they are addicted to gambling then there is a big possibility that they will lose their common sense which makes them brave enough to commit violent or criminal acts that harm other people.

Yes, that's right, people who are addicted to gambling will only think about gambling and their desire to gamble and most likely they won't pay attention to things around them, including their family or relatives, and also if people already have debt because of gambling, they might be able to escape. and let go of his responsibility, the debt ultimately being borne by his family, because it was impossible for the money lending company to just leave it like that.

That's a fact that is happening right now, I also saw a case like that happen to my neighbor where his house and the contents inside were confiscated by the bank because of debt and it was all because of losing at gambling so this will be a lesson for all of us that debt is not a good way to finance gambling, an unknowing family suffers the consequences because of their child's debt, so that the two elderly parents have to be evicted by debt collectors and the irresponsible child runs away.

I always remind myself when gambling to never do stupid things like that, my family is very important to me because when I experience a downturn my family is the one who encourages me, that's why never gamble excessively, lower your emotions and control always well so that everything remains safely under control without anyone feeling harmed, be it friends or family. gamble at your own risk, don't do stupid things that have a bad impact on the people around us.

      -  There are probably many gamblers who somehow, in the few years that they have been used to gambling in various casinos, are still in control of their gambling because there are still many gamblers who are still intact and their families, and they are not broke in life either.

It means that gamblers have overcome things that a gambler should not be able to apply, which is why they are still able to remain responsible gamblers in an industry like this in the crypto business field. And when this happens, it will affect our family greatly because we only play gambling in a limited way.

I think most likely the people closest to him will definitely realize that one of his relatives or friends has a problem with gambling because they have a relationship that can be said to be very close so it is possible for them to be able to know about what their closest person is experiencing, in my opinion one of the things that can be done and quite recommended is to always invite the person to do many other activities such as maybe playing, vacationing or other things such as taking care of the fields behind the house if they have a large land, But on the other hand it also depends on whether the people around him really know about the problems that the person is suffering or not, sometimes even though we have a very close relationship it cannot be denied that there is something we never know about what they are really experiencing, so if they absolutely cannot get information about the problems suffered by their friends then of course there will be no action they will take because they think that their friends are fine. Basically, gambling addiction will be easier to overcome when there is openness and recognition and along with the desire for change from the addicted person.

When someone ruin their name not just in gambling but also in other addiction or action as well.
It is not just them who would be branded by it, the ones who are close to them would also be accused of doing the same thing.
Worse is that others would think that those who are close to them are the ones who actually support or push the person to do it.

Indeed, there are some gamblers who don't have any problems with those closest to them and I think they do their gambling just for fun and also they don't gamble too often so they don't experience financial problems in their family.
If we gamble on a limited basis, I don't think we will have any problems with the people closest to us or even family, because if they gamble too often then I think they will be in debt to the people closest to them and they won't necessarily pay it so their family will be very uncomfortable when they see the gambler.

Absolutely, if we bet sensibly and are able to keep our family's strong bonds intact. We may prevent jeopardizing our family's financial stability if, as you said, a gambler places boundaries on their gaming and only wagers with funds they can afford to lose.

Open communication with family members is, in my opinion, another factor that can help prevent addiction in gamblers. It is beneficial to be transparent about your gambling habits and to stay clear of any possible problems or worries. Naturally, we must also practice time management. For example, we must prioritize spending time with our family above gambling in order to maintain a healthy balance between our gambling habits and our connections with our families.

Being in debt is also one of the stories that can affect those close to you, especially a family member's money will inevitably cause awkward moments when forced to collect debt and raise their voices at each other, if these are social debts, the more serious problem is the threats to the family, there are many stories of being splashed with red paint and family members being threatened by debt collectors. So somehow, don't let our lives be turned upside down just by such situations, be more private and abolish the presence of gambling with close people

I got curious that they easily talk to the gambling board to ban their relatives from any gambling activities because in my area, a lot of those people who were in that position that they didn't care at all and didn't mind you at all. This might be the case that they know the members of it or those people really care about gambling, but other than that, I do hope that he will be prevented from gambling because there is still space online that he can access without knowing his family.

Wasnt it a scary trip? One where chasing a win often costs relationships and money. However, gambling isnt necessarily evil. When handled appropriately, it may be fun and a game of chance.

The problem is the person's gambling relationship. Addiction destroys this relationship, as you noted. Mentally, addicts fight their own warped risk-reward views. But hope is here. Therapeutic or communal support can bring about change. We must promote help-seeking.

Gambling parallels life in that it involves calculated risks and unknown results. Its enjoyable and perilous for those who can balance it. For those battling, its a sharp reminder of the delicate line between a pleasant activity and a harmful obsession. The community's job is to support and understand individuals in need to return to health.

You're right, no one will even wanted to be identified with such a wreckless gambler because what they are doing is a disgrace to the public, but when we are gambling responsibly or maybe make a huge won on our bets, the relatives will like to wanted to be identified with us, just as the same way it's been applicable to someone who is unserious about his life, no one will want to make friends with such a person, but when someone is determined for excellence, he turns a celebrity, your relatives will be looking after you and not you hunting after them.

Yep that's true and it is happening in real life. Depending on what you are doing, as long as you are very good at it and it is not illegal, most of your relative, friends and closed ones will have a positive approach to your so you can think good to them, though it is the opposite if you are lagging behind or not doing well on what you are doing. This applies even in gambling, if you are a successful gambler, people will see you as a professional gambler but if you are failed one, they will see you as an addict or a throw away person at worst.

If you care on yourself, do what you want and don't think of other persons. As long as you think that the things that you are doing brings a positive impact in your life, continue it and be happy with the things you are doing.

Indeed, whatever efforts will be made by relatives will only be in vain if a family member is truly addicted because he will always have a way to keep gambling, as you said, there is always empty space in online gambling and for me the efforts made by his family members forbidding the gambling board to refuse family members to gamble is a big mistake because for me the gambling board is not wrong because they built a gambling business to make money and if they really want their family members not to continue gambling they should make rehabilitation efforts or more precisely provide education to the members. his family rather than having to blame the gambling party.

Trust me, I have being around a gambling addict before and I know how it feels. My relationship with the gambling addict is that we neighbors and then we became very close friends. After he got introduced into the gambling lifestyle, he started making some wins like 3 times a week. So he thought he had found a sure way of making money, so he started increasing his stake and experiencing more loss than ever before, and from there he became more addicted than I ever imagined. But blames from family started hitting hard on me, that I was the one who hangout with him often even in casino hall. However I tried my best to counsel him, but he refused taking my advice. But now life has though him humility lessons and he has quit being an addict but he still gamble once in a while.

Sometimes experience is the best teacher.  Your friend wouldn't have had a rethink about his gambling habits if he didn't learn his lessons the hard way. Glad he now gambles moderately.

Addicts do not believe they are doing anything wrong,  this is why their relationships always get strained. They do not yield to advice and even when they manage to respect whomever is giving them the advice,  they begin to keep secrets from their families and loved ones. Once they feel their privacy is being tampered with,  they resolve to social isolation to keep naysayers off.

Everyday we read and watch really scary and disturbing stories about gambling addiction yet people still fall victim of it. It can happen to anyone,  just when you feel you are only having fun for the moment,  the next minute you are still glued to it. Then it turns to hours, days, weeks and even months and you cannot do without gambling. This is why we have to stay disciplined always to avoid being taken unawares.

Anyone who wants to borrow money to gamble is just trying to push himself down, because borrowing money and gambling with it is not a smart concept for me. What if the money he borrowed was utilized for gambling and the game was cute at the end of the day? I think the person has entered a chance since the owner of the money will not forget about it and him most repay it back.

Because of this, it is wise for someone to consider the outcome and whether it will be in their favor or not. Some people are unaware that gambling also requires experience before beginning, and that the greatest way to start anything in life is through experience.
 

Putting yourself on deep debt and affecting your family in the sense that they havent been able to witness or experience before but we do know that it isnt really that something that recommended
that if you do have that sufficient fund or money that could sustain your gambling needs or leisure times then it would be better that you should stop. You are really just that basically putting up yourself
on great trouble on the time that you would be finding out  yourself on having no control in towards your spending. It would really be bringing out that huge effect into your family knowing
that financial part would really be the crucial part when it comes to living and surviving into this world which having no money? Then you would really be sleeping on the streets.

And with that, as a gambler, we shouldn't include our work when we gamble. You spend some money from your salary and it shouldn't be that much especially if you're a family person and you have a lot of expenses to pay. That's how it should go because if you're carefree and you're not thinking of it, you'll definitely going to face the consequences of it for being unaware.

Most of the ones that tried to recover, they're all wrong. That's not how it goes and many of us keep on chasing our losses but then we're able to realize that it is not going anywhere, we understand that if we keep on chasing it, we're going to fall onto the pit of losing more and that's a normal scenario when a gambler continues to do so.

Not just some but entirely losing money in gambling can ruin someone's life when he can't take that loss he just incurred. That's why if you're a gambler and you're too hot on your take with losing, don't meddle with your relatives or anyone because even if you're annoyed, you're the one that's going to look annoying on them.

Just think of it as money that's loss forever whenever you started to step in to the doors of casinos or by simply logging in.

The addict most times doesn't feel comfortable bothering people about his trouble. He also worries about the type of help his friends would render to him. Would it be effective or not. Since helping themselves out of the trouble seems impossible. What then can his friends do to help him. These are some questions they begin to ask themselves. On the long run while still undergoing the dilemma the addict continues to gamble compulsively. Nothing has been done to change him, and he's not ready to open up. Such a person would have his family to spend more than usual. Hence, it's important for a gambler to stay around people in same house who would keep his brain active on other news happening in the country or town. It can remove few minutes of his attention to the recent news in his country. Once the new thought has been added successful to the memory of the addict. If they enjoy such discussions, a relative should feed them with it until they begin to love researching for news and information.

We're focusing too much on gambling rather than the addiction itself. Gambling on its own can't ruin your life or your loved ones; if it does, then it's getting out of hand, and you're likely to be an addict who needs to seek assistance from a professional, similarly to any type of other addiction. Everything in life needs boundaries; gambling and alcoholism are probably two of the most commonly found addictions, with the latter being more serious, in my opinion, because your lack of self-control can also directly endanger other people in your surroundings.

Drinking a glass of wine every now and then isn't hurting you; the same rule applies to gambling too. Playing a few games every now and then, provided that you can afford the money you're risking, isn't that big of a deal.

Your gambling habit will only affect your relatives and loved ones if you chose to gamble irresponsibly. If you fail to see your own value and significance which gambling is stealing from you, then what’s the purpose of having relatives that will prefer to see your own welfare than to continuously see you losing and messing up with your life.

That’s where your gambling addiction will certainly affect the lives of your relatives as they can’t bare seeing you losing all the time and making you poorer and poorer while you keep getting richer the casino itself.

The gambler will choose the many casino for trying the game,but if they feel comfortable to one game,they will not do the further play on other games.My favourite one is High-Low in casino,their are huge risk in that game.I had lost over 1200$ but the game was unique one,it give me huge entertainment.Even I had withdrawal more than 600$.So at the end I had some loss and some profit in the same game.Actually the game which give more entertainment should be choose by the gamblers in the gambling site.

It's really sad to hear the story of your neighbor who experienced this fate and it is true that cases like this must be paid attention to because gambling with borrowed money is very dangerous. Especially if you are unable to pay back the borrowed money and interest, then it is very likely that all your assets will be confiscated by debt collectors and will be kicked out of homes, if it's like this it's the family who will be in trouble because the parents have to bear the irresponsible actions of their child. I think even if he runs away leaving his parents his life will also be ruined because of his gambling addiction.

Yes, this is certainly a lesson for many people not to gamble excessively and not to take out loans, gamble for the purpose of having fun and using your own money so you don't have to take out loans just to gamble or chase losses because we all certainly don't want to feel destroyed as a result of taking action stupid gambling.

Everyone around you that you have a familiarity will be affected, not just your relatives or loved ones and it can also be argued that not all relatives because it's not like you know every relatives you have right? I also don't think that even if you gamble responsibly, it's still going to affect them and there's no way that gambling will ever make a positive impact in a lot of gamblers and their families. The problem isn't that you're not self-aware, the problem is that gambling is a pleasure giver and there's no way around it but to continue until you decide to change for the better and most of the time, the excuse that we're only human is widely used to make it so that we didn't have the full responsibility for our problem or addiction. It's not a complicated thing to say that gambling can affect your family or your relatives, what's complex is the fact that the mind of people that's gambling, why still play when you know that you're more likely to lose than to win?

This is the consequence if you don't gamble responsibly, there will be other effects that can affect your life which can be detrimental to yourself. Family and friends are the closest people who bear the risks due to gambling that is done beyond limits. When it reaches this point, family and friends will take a firm stance and they will walk away from it when they can no longer bear the financial burden or are embarrassed by the negative behavior carried out around them.

His despair due to always losing at gambling and not getting loans from friends and family will make him do reckless things such as robbing and stealing. The actions taken by the family were very appropriate by limiting the gambling space, this method was done to prevent other bad things due to his carelessness.

Exactly,they might not be seeing it from that perspective that their addiction to gambling is affecting their families and direct loved ones.

But they have chosen to take it yo the extreme of taking such decisions without knowing the setbacks behind it one thing is sure,when a gambler go all out for his normal routine,his family or relatives is never happy,cause their thinking will be wide in such a way that,they might be thinking soon he will end up selling the house and doing this and that in order to meet up his gambling.

So its high time they acknowledge the effort of their families and loved ones, and minimise this loss,cause it is a total disaster that will definitely generate to a loss of live,where the gambler is a victim and then a loss of properties.

It is true that bad gambling behavior can have a negative impact on the people closest to the gambler because whatever they do will more or less make people's views of those closest to them different. For example, if the person is a crazy gambler who gets into debt here and there, people's views on his family will certainly be different because how could his family allow him to gamble and get into debt, that is like someone who was not taught by his family. Not to mention that if he commits a crime, it will make his family even more ashamed of what he did.

with the incident experienced by your neighbor, it is clear that the impact of gambling can spread to family and friends, a big mistake if you involve life assets with gambling. with the belief that they can get big wins from gambling, the result is that they suffer big losses, this needs to be avoided because I don't think the family has any problems with gambling, and everything that happens is because of one person who is addicted to gambling. It would be a shame if the problem was borne by their parents.

you are right, because in my opinion family is the most valuable asset, even if we are down, but the family will definitely provide support and can still accept our existence even in the worst situation, but if someone has lost their mind because of gambling, it is possible that the family will not care about it either. because they know that someone who is addicted to gambling will experience the worst things someday. That's right, gamble at your own risk, don't involve other people or get other people into trouble.

In my opinion, this is indeed a scary journey, because by chasing wins at gambling of course it will make them lose a lot of money, and also this can have an impact on their thinking because of the problem of money lost due to chasing wins at gambling. and gambling is indeed a game based on chance, if we play it correctly, I mean we can limit ourselves by not doing it too much then that's not a problem, but chasing victory at gambling is wrong, because that way it will only waste their money.

as you said, gambling can be handled appropriately, that's true. but if they chase victory or do it excessively then it is very likely that this will not only have an impact on themselves, of course it will have an impact on their own relationships with their wife or family as well as close relatives. and maybe they gamble excessively because they are too obsessed with gambling.

you are right, even if they run away by running away from the problems that have already happened they will not face peace in their lives and their lives will be destroyed, because if they have common sense of course they will feel guilty because they have involved their families in the problems they have done. They should face the problem themselves and not abandon their responsibilities In my opinion, someone who abandons responsibilities like that is a person who has no sense of responsibility and perhaps it would be more appropriate to call them a coward.

It's a big mistake if we take out a loan just to gamble because it's a very risky action, which can harm many people,  including our own family. someone would have their life ruined by taking such a stupid action like this.

Usually these are people who are addicted to gambling. They are heavy gamblers who are willing to spend anything to gamble. They give their entire lives just to enjoy the dopamine from gambling. This is something as bad as drugs. People like this can be seen as embarrassing their family and close relatives. They can harm their siblings by asking for loans and getting into debt. If they are a father then they will be the worst father in the world because his wife and children do not get a happy family life.

If a person gambles too often and cannot control himself, sooner or later, he will lose his money and become a gambling addict, and he may also be in huge debt. It has happened to many gamblers that they cannot solve their problems one by one and instead increase the number of problems.
And when he was in debt to other people, it was only a matter of time until his life fell apart and his family felt the impact.
The gambler will also feel the impact on his family because he is the perpetrator who gambles, making his relationship with his family fall apart.

Yes it is a very possible thing, one of them may be the point of view of the community or especially their close neighbors who become bad to them and their families as a result of their gambling activities if there is information spread about them becoming a gambling addict, another thing is in terms of family finances which will also decline, you have said one example of the bad effects they will experience such as having a lot of debt everywhere. It is true that the impact of gambling can be very bad, not only experiencing a lot of defeat but this addiction triggers many other problems, such as turning someone into a criminal by robbing a shop or stealing at a rich person's house in order to get money to gamble, people who are already addicted have a mindset that is far from reasonable, they will do all bad things without doing any consideration beforehand.

Honestly, I also have a neighbor who can be said to be a victim of the adverse effects of his gambling activities, he has a lot of debts everywhere with not a small amount, I am quite bored when I see loan sharks who come every day to his house to collect debts that finally his parents have to sell one of their land assets to pay off debts due to his son's stupidity. This is why gambling can be very dangerous if we come with the wrong approach, so understanding what gambling really is, especially in terms of risks, is very important and is recommended so that you do not become one of the people I told you about above.

That's the outcome of heavy addiction, when problem starts comes out and you don't have the solution it will affects the relationship
between the person and his loved ones.

Not just financially but more on emotions, it really breaks that bond between the person and everyone that cares as addiction already dominates.

it's better to think ahead when you involve yourself into gambling, addiction always the result of un-controlled gambling.

Gambling is so bad addiction that there is no benefit of it but gambler loss their loyalty and respect in the hearts of others even their family don't want to talk with the guy who is addicted towards gambling. Once a person become a gambler then he Don't think about anyone but wants to gather money from them no matter how harsh he treated his family.

The whole family of a gambler suffer from his bad behaviour but a gambler never feel sorry for his act but consider himself as he is 100% right. A person if keep control from the start can leave gambling but once a gambling become out of control then it becomes hard for family members and relatives to stop him from gambling.

Obviously that's what's going to happen when you're addicted but if you're just an occasional gambler that doesn't have a consistent gambling schedule or doesn't even gamble for a month or two and then gamble the next month then there's no problem with that, it's not like you're gambling a lot of money in that occasional gambling session right? Plus if you're like that then it's given already that you've got self-control because you're gambling on a whim. The key to this thing, addict or not, is for you to talk to your family about this stuff, be open about your gambling activities and the reason why you're doing it, that's the only way that they can help you anyway.

Relationships with loved ones will experience problems when someone has a serious gambling addiction. Those who are addicted to gambling will not be able to see what is happening around them because their minds are only focused on gambling. They will not be able to think clearly and will lose the emotional bond between the person and the people around them.
That is why we must be able to distance ourselves from gambling by not gambling too often because after all, there are impacts that we will receive from frequent gambling.
This can have a direct impact on our finances, which will slowly also have an impact on family finances.

Yes, excessive lost as a caused of lack of emotional conducts could trigger a rise of anxieties which is negatively negative mentally affected.
The realm of gambling addict has the tendencies to disorder the gamblers orderly rapport with others in a mannerlessness mode.
When the life is ruined, you are definitely not aware about your endivoirs shoot gambling. You would even accept your failures while gambling as a usually like freely funding the bets companies with the act of your mental breakdowns.

Very often the parents of gamblers suffer. Because first of all they help pay off debts. Although they say that gamblers should not pay off their debts, because in this case they will start gambling again. Only after paying off heavy debts does the addicted gambler begin to think about risk management. And this should be the basic knowledge of the player even before he sat down to play. The lack of risk management allows players to lose big sums. Debts accumulate gradually, and the player does not notice them, but as soon as the amount becomes significant, the lack of risk management immediately reveals itself.

This is worse than worse you can't actually do gambling for life the worse when you just loan it from a friend or a family member it's like your destroying your faster than your future already, My friends are addicted to but once i talk to them not to make as their hobbit they actually stop and focus on something they have a good future not gambling , well they can gamble once a month or so and set a limit win or lose this make your self bring some fun , and the most i like being a good friend is before you do gamble just think about the bill first and future expenses that can be use.

Gamblers who remain responsible, has no intentions of affecting the lives of their relatives. Which behavior has lifted the stigma some people have on gamblers. Being responsible goes a long way, it not only helps the perspectives on gambling of the people close to him, it contributes to the economic growth of the society. Our society need more of responsible gamblers. The compulsive gamblers buy double troubles for their family. The economy of the home begins to dwindle, and they'll not easily stop or correct the player. It's more of a long-term occurrence. The family of the person need to take action to help the gambler to quit his bad attitude. If the gambler is capable enjoying the games without struggling with whether to chase lose or not, he is free to participate in his games of interest.

Yes, that's how people will think about the close relatives of a gambler who has a problem controlling his bad habit especially if he is buried in many debts.
But, this only happens if the gambler doesn't even think about what other people will say about his family which I think is a wrong move. If he doesn't care what they will say then perhaps he should also keep this a secret within his closest friends only or better don't even tell a single soul about what is happening to him.
They say a secret cannot be kept hidden but a silent man not telling anyone can do so especially now that gambling can be accessed easily through the internet. A gambler doesn't even need to go out of his room to play whatever casino game that he prefers. The neighbors will only have an idea of what he is doing when different mails from the bank keep coming in or it is the authorities that will pay him a visit due to debts.
But the best solution will always be to become a responsible gambler, it doesn't mean to just keep the habit in control but also play when boredom strikes only. That way, we can avoid debts piling up.

From your post it sounds that gambling is something bad, and those who gamble only lose. What about those who managed to succeed in gambling? Quite opposite things happens to family suddenly :D They become more loyal.

While answering your post, a reminder of a poker tournament came to my mind. Have you ever seen WSOP events? All those guys are really addicted to poker. And when they came to finals, guess who are supporting them most. Family members. Never seen family members there being ashamed or feel sorry if family member who participated lost or won. How can you comment on that ?

Gambler never thought that his family members might get into trouble because of his gambling. Gambler tries to manage gambling within his limits. But when the gambler oversteps the limits of his gambling, the problem starts. As long as he has money, whatever he does has no effect on the family. But the money ran out after which the problems started. There are many gamblers who can borrow money from close relatives without informing the family and many collect money from friends. But whenever others come to know about the gambling, he starts to get suspicious. At some point may even complain to family members to collect the loan amount. Not all gamblers become addicted but it is very common for addicted gamblers to have this condition.

Some of these persons who get to this point of addiction and practice such unhealthy habits to the point it gets negative effect on their family once had a history of winnings which has further strengthen their fate in gambling enough to be willing to risk anything, sometimes it's not just about the addiction but the fate they have got in gambling.

Just like your fellow humans doing something consistently for you, over time you are going to gwt this confidence in such person that even if it goes bas at some point you will still trust and believe it will definitely come back to been good as it was before, so does these gamblers respond to gambling, they believe the was once a time they got help from their gambling proceeds so it's possible they can still do it again if only they are diligent and consistent so they wouldn't mind giving up anything with the mind that if they ever win, they are definitely recovering all at once .

It seems like people who are addicted to gambling are the most difficult people to advise. Sometimes if you have had a big win from gambling then you will think that the losses you get will be paid for. I think this is wrong. What this means is that gambling is a business. And casino owners are business people. They certainly want to get results and maybe they want to give you money for free. I think gambling addicts are the worst people because apart from harming themselves they also harm their family and close relatives. I really can't imagine if a gambling addict has a wife and children.

Gamblers who are addicted to gambling will only think about how to continue their gambling game and how to have money so they can gamble again. They can't see their family's condition and situation because they don't care about their family anymore. It really was beyond his gambling limit because he was no longer paying attention to his family. And when he runs out of money, he will probably take the remaining money his family has to continue gambling. It has become a serious gambling addiction to the point of sacrificing his family just to gamble. And that is what gamblers who are not yet addicted to gambling must avoid, to continue trying to control themselves so they can avoid gambling addiction problems.

Gambling not only has a bad effect on one's personal life but it also creates bad relations among other relatives in the family. When a gambler loses a gambling bet and goes bankrupt, a bad feeling is created inside him and he spreads this bad relation among his relatives. Then, in bankruptcy, the gambler starts borrowing money from relatives to manage the money, and if this money is not repaid later, there is a kind of severance of relations with family members and relatives. Moreover, in our society, many cases like divorce occur in many families, especially due to gambling. Relationships with friends get ruined and even bad relationship with one's wife is caused by gambling alone. There is always turmoil in the family and there is emotional turmoil among the family members as well. In my personal life I have come across many such families whose gambling only led to chaos and discord in the family.

This actually got me laughing. How would a gambling addict not have a family, wife and children? Of course they do because they live a normal life. I don't know what made you to think that maybe because of their addictive nature but remember they that after gambling they have other life that they will live and moreover, they just don't become addict from child birth or at young age so they must have been married at a certain age when they have not been addicted and give birth. So these people in his life won't just wake up to live him because he has gone into addicttion with gambling. Even drunks do have families and I don't see any reason that gambling addicts won't have wife and children  ;D

The issue is not that a gambler never thinks about their family. The problem is that once a person becomes addicted to gambling, they become fixated on the goal of continuing to play and win. Being blinded by their action, the only thing they think about, and their focus is their gambling activities. This creates a cycle that is difficult to break free from, as long as they remain unaware of the harm their actions are causing to those around them.

They are only accepting advice from the people they respect and that's how you should start because if only the people they listen to also live in the same community with them, you can ask them to talk and advise them to save them from their addictions. It happens to be useful and they convinced lots of people to change but this is not only restricted to gambling addicts but also to those people who don't have any future plans with their lives or they were just simply having low aspirations and they were content with their kinds of livings while others are chasing their big dreams. So if you want to change those people, you should be well respected first in a good way and the next time you know, they want to be with you or also want to surpass you someday.

Parents helping gambling kids is like bandaging a bullet wound. It provides a temporary remedy but doesn't address the problem. "Hey, I'll fix this now, but what about next time?" Without a mindset shift, it's a cycle. Gambling risk management is like kindergarten ABCs - essential. Not everyone gets that memo. Gamblers often enter without a safety nett, drawn by the adrenaline. It's like driving without a map - you'll get lost. The stakes must be understood before rolling the dice. Gambling may be fun! It's not all bad. Who doesn't love a big win's rush? Knowing your limits is crucial.

It will really affect your relatives, family members or friends who are close to you when you become addicted to gambling. You will not lose their concern for you and the judgment of other people for you and for your family, not all but most of the world is judgmental so if you end up in a situation where you become addicted to gambling and run out of money your money or your possessions will really affect your family around you, not only you will be affected by what you do but also your family, always remember that.

I'm not sure of the relatives, but it affects the close ones for real. I personally experienced it. Being into gambling I've suffered much and now I've come out partially. At times the loss can't be accepted and our minds won't work as we think. This affects the family and the close ones. They can see the difference and the same makes them down. Atleast to keep our surroundings happy we should have healthy gambling habit with limits.

When gambling and being immersed in it, most players do not think much about their relationships or family. Now, they only focus on their gambling until the consequences happen, and that's when they look back and feel regret. If people could think about how their gambling affects their loved ones, these heartbreaking stories wouldn't happen. It is the experience of loss that makes people truly realize what is important to them. Without that experience, it will be difficult for them to recognize when they are engrossed in gambling.

I have a specific case involving my friend. He lost a bet on a football match, left home with the intention of making money to pay off debt and not let his family be affected. However, his family learned of the debt through his friend and they proactively paid him the debt. Do you think his gambling affects his family? I think it had an impact but on a passive level because he didn't want that to happen. What do you think about this case?

They always have that attachments as they are known to be one of your relatives or a close friend, so it is for sure that they are affected
of what's going on with you.

Gambling addiction ruined that bond as everything that inside your mind is all about gambling and you already forgot all those other things in life.

Too much gambling will put you in a place where all those people who support and love you will start to leave and will disconnect all the
connection with you.

Gambling addictions doesn't only affect us, I think it affects all family members as your mood around everyonesl is determined by how well your bet went for that day. If you lost money you won't be happy and this will affect those around you and you family members will be among those that'll be affected more. I have seen a family get separated due to gambling addiction. The husband isn't happy when he losses and he blame the spouse every time by abusing her.

When this happens the children will be affected too and they might end up being woman abusers as children learn from the things they see their parents doing. Gambling can be very attractive but we can learn and discipline ourselves so we don't get addicted and spoil the relationship we have with our families and close relatives. Planning with budgeting can help us stay disciplined when gambling.

Im agree with this kind of mind set and experience because most of my friend i give them advice not to gamble that much , most of the reason here is they already had family and doesn't have a decent job that can sustain most of their daily living number 1 that can really affect. two is when they are in so much debt they realize the trauma , anxiety , depression on how they can pay those debt until they will take a loan from family members which if you cannot pay the result much be worse. Thats why im advicing them not to gamble that much know their limits and gamble is just for fun and sportmanship where when you lose accept when your in win win situation stop and withdraw next month again.

You would really be eventually having those questions in mind on how the heck they did make out such decision for them to play gambling despite of the condition that they are in?
Why they do consider out gambling as their main target on trying out to make huge money for them to make it as an income? Once you do have this kind of mindset then
you would definitely be that making yourself ending up on messing your life and the main ones who would really be affected would really be your family and this is why it
would really be that better that you should be mindful on the things that you are really that dealing with. You cant just make yourself that making decisions which
it would really be bringing out that disaster into your family.

Usually nothing you do in your life has influence on distant relatives. I have cousins that live in different countries. Sometimes we see each other once a year, sometimes every 2 years... If I died the only way it would affect them is that they'd have to come for the funeral. About what OP wrote, most of it is obvious. Yes, your lifestyle affects your family, but it's always like this, no matter if it's positive or negative. A person who goes to prison for a crime will affect the family, someone who overdoses drugs will, and so on, so forth.
It's important to not be selfish and notice what's going on around you.

Well it all depends because gambling just like every other things have been very negative when it is done at an alarming and unctrolable state, this have a very bad effects on both the direct person and those around him, so for sure gambling effects the entire family and even outsiders around the addicts too, many times the results of gambling addiction is always bankruptcy and sellinyoff of they personal properties, this have been the case for quite a long while now and for sure we all have to be prepared to see more of such cases as time goes on.

But it will be Impossible for a gamblers to separate family effect's from addictions but at least the gamblers if in his right senses can still minimix the effects of that addictions on himself.

The gambler will not accept the words of friends or relatives at the time of addiction,they only point in their mindset will be to recover the money from the gambling site and it was the loss recovery process.If the gambler had the self control to do the action by their own knowledge will leads to the control of playing games in the gambling site.The gambler who losses the money in the gambling site will do the domestic violence to show their losses.But it would not the right thing,because the gambler should try to go to the vacation to forget their loss.The important factor is the gambler should ready to quit the game when they had the money which is emergency money.

Simply we can't generalize everything since there are addicted gamblers that are still responsible for their family.

On the other hand, there are addicted gamblers who put themselves in the worst addiction which is now affecting their relationship with their family. On the latter situation, these addicted gamblers need to be stopped by force as they won't listen anymore for any advice.

I salute those gamblers who even admittedly addicted to gambling, are still a responsible person outside their gambling activity. Hope they will maintain that discipline and behavior but at least, they should know how to minimize their gambling habit in the long run.

This kind of gamblers feel remorseful, they don't just care about what other people feels around them, they only care about their own feelings and satisfaction. Observe very well people that love alcohol and like drinking to stuppor, they drink in the morning, drink in the afternoon and drink in the night and their is always miserable any time you meet them, they are not different from gamblers that are addicted to gambling, they play without thinking and if they do, it's always nonsense strategy that might not favour them


Some of them do comes to their senses but they must have live with that addicted life for all they care and if they later realized it doesn't favour them, that's when they quit. I have seen this guys that will use his mum restaurant money for gambling and the mom has to cry because she don't even know what to do with him anytime he use his business money to gamble. In short, never pray for any gambler close to you with addiction, they suffer from depression and it makes them even to do more stupid things that affect them and their families.

Really I have seen someone who is very addicted to gambling always protecting himself from selling off his personal things, sometimes you see some gambler's with gold wristwatch that way several kilos of gold, running out of money in the casino, and wouldn't ever attempt to sell off his watch.

To me that actions shows that the addict is still very responsible and knows what he is doing, but just that, he can't control his gambling urge, so at that, we don't need to generalized things, since we already know that every individual have they own difference's and ways of doing things.

Others are just putting too much negative to the term "addicted". Not all addicted are considered on the verge now of becoming crazy. I truly believe that there are lots of addicted gamblers that are responsible on other aspects of their life. They just do gambling maybe because of personal reasons and seems these addicted gamblers can afford to cover their gambling expenses without affecting their finance on their family.

If only all addicted gamblers are like that then we might see a healthy gambling environment but that's not possible to happened at everyone.

This is true, as many of those addicts don't even believe that they are addicted to gambling, and they always claim to be in control of the entire situation, which is part of the reason why they don't listen to advice because they don't see themselves breaking any rules.
 
The only time we can advise these addicts successfully is if we can make them realise that they are gambling addicts and chasing losses is not the right thing to do. Winning big today and losing to gambling almost all the time is not being in control, as anyone who has won big before needs to take some time to check their strategies and know that not all that was work from gambling needs to go back there.

Whatever we do affects our society, and when one is addicted, he has affected the life of few people in the society. Every road lead to the end of the world. Addiction can increase in a society if one influential person who is addicted influences the people around him. That's why to make a change, we must begin from ourselves. However, the distant relatives, have nothing to feel sad about if they weren't present in the time of occurrence, didn't hear the news, showed no effort to solve the problem, and didn't contribute in any way to solve the problem. Those who had personal encounter with the trouble and helped the person out of the addiction, will remember the incident, in what seems to be a long time. Those thoughts can affect the person in many ways, but it's his responsibility to bypass the reasoning and focus on their daily tasks.

Of course, there are so many stages of addiction. But if you already recognize that you are on the verge of it, better alter your lifestyle.
If you are still clearly thinking about what's going on with your life, it may not be too difficult for you to change the path you are traversing with.
Don't get too deep before you wake up your mind because that would really be a challenge not only for you, but for your immediate family.
Do remember, you only live once on this planet, why not make it valuable to others? And for yourself?

If you let it affect you that is. And if you're in an Asian Household or with your parents still.

Thing is that for most European setups soon as you hit the legal age you're basically on your own until you die. You'd get the occasional calls and catchups from your parents but it's not like they'd actively help you out on things, I've seen most western families even leave their kids be in the topic of school fees, letting the kids be charged with fees as high as a hundred thousand dollars all for the sake of keeping tradition. It's stupid and very unfair to the kids, but I digress.

Yes, there's a good chance for you to affect your family's life when you gamble, especially if you're the head, but as a kid unless you don't tell them about it and it eventually seeps out or you let it get a hold of you while your parents are actively witnessing your health and sanity deteriorate then you should really be good. Parents could care less about what we do on the Internet nowadays, and as long as they see us healthy and happy they don't really interfere anymore. I've never had my parents check on me even when I was addicted to gambling and this is coming from an Asian Household of all things too, so the idea that you could affect your family's life by being a gambler is a little too conditional for me. You have to hit certain parameters first before you even get there.

If I had a relative who is addicted to gambling, I wouldn’t give him any money no matter how little or small it is. I will only help you to establish yourself and not support an act that ruins you. I wouldn’t also let his gambling affect me because I am a different person from him, it’s his lifestyle and the best I can do is feel pity for his life but it’s his life and not mine. If you want to gamble, do it decently. It doesn’t hurt to be (and act) responsible, or does it?

to overcome that, I will take it easy when playing gambling, I don't want to be too serious and focus when sitting on a chair, because in my side, I have my wife and son who is as stiff as inviting me to play in my free time. So, we have to manage time very well, life is not always gambling, There are times when we go on holiday and have fun with family. I used to ignore that long time ago, so I rarely go on holiday and make my family going to bored on his life. That affected also on my life, so I am not be enthusiastic and lazy about doing something.

If a relative is addicted to gambling, we should be able to help him to cure his gambling addiction rather than giving him money to gamble. We must be able to persuade him to leave gambling in various ways, especially if he complains about his gambling activities and he really wants to leave his gambling addiction. That is a sign that he needs help from us and we should help him get out of his gambling addiction. We cannot let any of our family members who are addicted to gambling without doing something and the best thing is that we can tell other family members and ask for their help to help family members who are addicted to gambling. Having more family members who want to help him cure his gambling addiction can give him the opportunity to start realizing that his gambling addiction is so severe that it bothers him. He can also start trying to cure his gambling addiction.

That's absolutely the best thing to do. Funding an addicted gambler is like giving knife to a child to play with. 90% of the time, they're definitely going to use the money for gambling. However the best option is to work on getting them quite addiction before you indirectly become the one sponsoring their addiction. When a member of a family is addicted to gambling, it reducing their reputation and bring bad names to the family. I know some person are gonna say "who cares what other people think" but if you are the one working on building a good reputation while someone is out there destroying it, you'll understand my point.

majority of them look very irresponsible just because they gamble with any kind of funds they see and exactly what I always do whenever every ever am close to someone who gambles a lot no matter what they tell me I won't give them a dime because they have lost control and will always want to gamble even if they do not have money and that is when they start looking for what to sell and how to beg for funds to gamble. and some of them even if you establish them won't still get serious. and don't be surprised to even gamble with the funds given to them. and if you do not want to be an addict the best thing is to stay away from people like that if they will always want to encourage you to come and gamble with them, and before you know it you are already an addict. it is as simple as anything have control over gambling.

This is the same thing that happened with my brother,  where he was crazy about playing online games but not gamblings the same thing happened in that he asked for money to fulfill the requirements of the game and this of course I didn't like it, because he spent his money just for a game that had no use for his own life so when he asked me for money, I didn't give it to him because I knew it would be used for something that wasn't useful.

back to the discussion if my brother or my relatives are also addicted to gambling then I will not support their activities,  because with them like that, of course, it means that their finances have been destroyed and they ask relatives in the neighborhood to gamble again, and most likely it is certainly not easy to get a win so the money he gets from others can run out again which leads them to do it again. of course this harms him and his relatives.  In my opinion, everyone should be responsible for their own actions, so if they really want to gamble, go ahead,  but with a note that they must use their own money earned with their own sweat.

Even not in gambling, when you're already out of money and you still trying to ask for loan without having the guarantee to pay for it. Your relatives are going to run away from you and will flee.

So, while we discuss about these people. We have to make sure that it won't happen to us and we're still in control as we gamble because if not.

You'll be the next in line that's going to be part of other people's discussion and we don't want that to happen so, gamble responsibly at all times.

I do think that the word "addict" has a general misconception and stigma on its definition given on how it is used across this board.

To generalize, addict is someone who is just really likes to do a certain act. Most addicts have this connotation that they are unable to make rational decisions given that their addiction causes them to lose their sense of direction in their lives. But if a certain addict can balance their addiction and normal lives, then I do not see any problem with it.

Like what you have mentioned, an addict does not necessarily mean a negative thing for as long as they can balance things out. To be honest, I do consider myself as a computer addict (addiction to online games) but I seem to find the perfect balance between my studies and my addiction to playing games online.

that’s right, you need to be passionate about games. I had a friend who became very interested in gambling, which resulted in negative consequences such as problems with money and damaged relationships with all his loved ones. Therefore, he became an example for me of what can happen if you gamble and not being aware of the consequences.

Addiction is a term used for someone who makes gambling their life and it is not a healthy condition. But if you talk about responsible gamblers, it refers to people who gamble based on their limitations and enjoyment. Not in the case of addiction where you are in the state of having no fulfillment and enjoyment. What is in their mind is the urge to play unlike how these responsible gamblers behaving their gambling habits.

Gambling addiction doesn't just compromise our finances but our whole life...

Such events gives you an overview if what are the possibilities that may take place if you will push yourself into something that you did not put any limitations,  something that might trigger addiction and misconception with how you should handle this kind of situation,  there are people who did not intend to become addicted but because of uncontrolled event in life  they become one, resulting to more problems that being unleash especially with relationships with their love ones.

Always think ahead  of time, chances of getting addicted is always possible if you forget about setting your limitations,  being allure by that misconception about this venue, things can go wrong completely.

The best lesson is experiencing the mistake of other gamblers. A gambler who goes ahead to fall victim of addiction, despite being there during the days of a friend's struggle, may have never understood why his friend was in that situation. However, it'll be difficult for a person who helps others get out of their struggle, get into the same trouble or struggle. That's why in the quest of helping a friend, we must be careful to avoid the trouble affect us psychologically or mentally. The truth is you are not the cause of the person's problem, your duty was rendering some help, which is the best you can offer. Allowing it to live with you for long, is now personal decision. And the gambler needs to battle with all the traces of thoughts left in his memory. Hanging out with him can be a refresher to the forgotten past memories in us, and they're people we can't escape seeing once in a while.

That's why it's still fine to say that the gambling problem can affect the relative of the addict. These people owe him visits at some point, questioning him on his health, and how good he's coping in life. Unless he's a friend, that would be bearable as we both may not see each other again, if one person had to travel to another location. Different people have unique ways of thinking, which entails that, even if others forget it, the addict, and his immediate parent will have to battle with such though for a longer while. Until something extremely significant happens again in the life of the person. The brain forgets the previous if another important news results. Especially if the person gets responsible and begin to succeed in his daily endeavors. And tend to make life sweeter for his parents, they will begin to forgo those thoughts, gradually.

The story with your brother is a lot different from this one because at least he is purchasing in-app products and that is him buying something. But with gambling, you’re not buying anything but giving your money and risking it for more. With gambling you can lose it all in seconds, but your brother’s game isn’t risky, as we already know the result of purchasing things in games - you get the in-app content for sure. However, if you do not give him the money, he’ll learn to be content and play it as it is. Same way, if you don’t give a gambler, they won’t have that money to risk.

What happened is that in every gambling game that involves dealing with money, well things are different, you have to do things that have nothing to do with it, that is, when someone "spreads money" it's what you say, it's In exchange you risk not getting anything, when you make any type of purchases then at least you get something, but in gambling games when you risk money and you don't get it you lose, of course things scam if you bet a lot, well They have to do or you can withdraw your money.

In this order of ideas things can be very different, sometimes you have more things around because things can look more complicated, so if there is an addicted family, we should not give them money, because it is certain that they will spend it. In the casino, if we have a family member like that, I think the first thing we should do is try to give them specialized attention, with a good expert, that is much better to do than to give them money.

This type of thing when we are anywhere it is good to see that people who are addicted need to have a good scheme to stop being addicts, I have seen that some treatments for people who are addicted are that they apply sleep cures, and that is sometimes very effective, because they take away their anxiety, and by removing the anxiety, things are different, in this order of ideas things can be seen like this, but when there is not enough money, the ideal would then be to take them to a psychologist Depending on that, exceptions are made. If you go to a psychologist and you can get treatment, that would be ideal. For a family member at risk of addiction, you don't have to give them money, because that's like lighting the spark even more, so so that? You don't have to do much for that, just a person has to have a good will so that things don't get complicated.

that makes sense, I didn't think about it deeply, because occasionally I only think about it, but what makes me annoyed, he has no movement at all to be able to make his own money, in other words he is lazy, and I think it should be when a person has the desire to buy what he wants, of course he has to work or do anything that can make money as long as it leads to positive things, but what is clear is that the point of this problem is his inherent laziness.

For someone who is addicted, in my opinion, when they want to gamble, they will do things that can make money, even with a big risk,  especially if it can be called an addiction, it's certainly not a good thing, and this could trigger them to do negative things like stealing or robbing clearly to make money for the purpose of gambling. However, I myself gamble well  where I gamble does not have an impact on my family and relatives because I myself prefer to keep the gambling I do a secret, because I think that is the best.

I assumed he was a kid but you sound like he’s someone who should be able to have a job. If that is the case then stop giving him certain things, especially the things he wants (not needs). Hopefully that pulls him out of his comfort zone so he starts to think how to purchase what he wants since he isn’t getting it anymore. Also, have you tried speaking to him calmly about him being lazy? I mean a really subtle approach.

Your assumption is wrong, because the truth is that he is a person who is older than me, so I am upset why he can survive with his situation like that, he should have a clear job and give money to his younger siblings instead of asking for money from children who are below him like me. I think this is off topic, so I will finish your question, I have asked him and even told him often, it's not just me who asked him this, because all my family members have also done the same thing, but unfortunately it doesn't work, and he still survives in a zone that makes him comfortable, I myself call it the burden of parents.

The same thing with gamblers, if they are addicted to gambling of course they will continue to gamble without caring about the money they lose because of gambling, and if they have lost or run out of capital to gamble then there is a possibility that they can ask their family members for money and if their family members know that the money they ask for is for gambling then chances are they will not give it,  also with that it could be that the gambler commits violent acts that will harm his family, and obviously it affects his family.

Video game players who purchase those products such as armor and weapons with real cash are avid gamers. And spend lots of time on screen playing those games. It takes up their focus, like gambling does to players. Some people are addicted to video games and would also do anything to keep up with the gaming requirements. Hence, whatever one wants to do, they'll need to work on it till they get there. Life as a gamer is never simple, they both, gamers and gamblers, need some control to keep up with good gaming habit. It's not wrong to beg for something, but one shouldn't feel entitled to some other person's money. Those games affect the players mentally as well, and doesn't sit right with young people, growing up. From his complaints above, you'd notice how it has affected him. Despite not being gambling. Not that his brother is addicted to video gaming.

Much more the stress gambling addicts would afflict to their loved ones and the society. It's all expensive and requires steady income to keep up with gambling habit. If the gambler is not acquainted with enough money, his target would be his family and friends, which ends up being a torn in the flesh of not just the player, but his acquittances. So, while everyone should be focused on taking responsibility of their habit, it's important or crucial to remind these people of the need to stay careful and not get addicted. Because when they get in problem gambling, we won't have an option than to help them out of the struggle. In a nutshell, not giving them the money won't solve the problem.

I understand that it is already affecting him as someone who is related, however, gaming and gambling aren’t the same. That’s what I’ve been trying to say. Gaming is done for fun than gambling which people’s primary aim is to make money, or I should say double money. Gamers can make good and stable money that isn’t based on probability or predicting.

Generally, for anything that has to do with money, your relative will likely pester you to help them which then becomes disturbing. But you mustn’t give them, especially when the need is for something that isn’t smart(like gambling). Then you don’t really have to feel burdened.

In my opinion that doesn't apply to those who claim to be gamers, because in my opinion gamers are players who are professional and earn income, but if they only play by spending free money and are not famous or in other words are just ordinary players then I I don't think I'm a gamer but just crazy about games. It's true what you said, if you really want something, you hope you can do it yourself, and especially if you're an adult, I think it's inappropriate to ask your parents, even if your parents are capable, but at least we have to know how embarrassed we are.

Of course, if they are addicted to gambling,  they will spend a lot of money just to gamble, and we know that there have been many cases where people who are addicted to gambling, if they run out of capital to gamble, there is a possibility that they can do anything that can make money including by asking for money. to their parents, and if they dare to lend to their parents, relatives, friends or the bank, I think they have gone too far, because they shouldn't have done that because by doing that of course they will only experience the destruction of their lives.

not the same, but in my opinion these two things have their similarities too, the similarity I think is addiction, because in my country there has been viral news of young children who are still in middle school, 1 or 2 children who are addicted to gambling so that they have problems with their mentality that goes crazy with the position of their hands always like holding a cellphone and their behavior that applies them like they are in the game, of course this is bad, and in my opinion this is the same as gambling. the bad effects are still there.

I myself will not give money to my family members if they are fond of gambling or addicted to gambling, because in my opinion if they already get a loan at the beginning, then the chances are that they will become even more courageous to take actions that are beyond reason.  with them taking a loan and then using it to gamble again. Of course they will get into trouble, one of which is with debt, and I think people who are addicted to gambling they tend not to accept advice or feedback from other people, so it could also be that with them already addicted to gambling they can release their responsibilities so that the debts that must be paid by them are borne by their own families, so I think it's true that gambling can make us a more stubborn person.

That's really a tough experience for children in your country. I've not heard of this, and it sounds quite scary. The brain of kids are quite very vulnerable to mental disorder from computers. They grow up watching screens, and it's hard to get over such thoughts. Had a kid in a neighborhood who jumped off a building believing he could swing like the spider man with webs in his hands. Such that are not done normally with the senses of the person. These are caused by the numerous screens surrounding a child in his lifetime. Hence, these occurrences are getting quite too hard to bear. As they'll be not acceptable possible means of reducing or stopping entirely the use of gadgets for children. Parents purchase gadgets a lot and don't moderate the rate at which a child spend online. Being on screen for long hours not only bothers the mental stability of the child but puts his sight at risk.

Who is to be blamed? the society. Because they hope on the teachings and upbring we offer to them. A child doesn't just wake up to gamble. He's been around a clique of gamblers during his lifetime. Aside gambling the video games also put a child's brain at risk. Most of them begin to try what they saw on TV. Meaning the actions on TV glues to their brain, and almost control them. A child may not be able to differentiate between his actual behaviors and when he's been influenced by addiction. So, they'll invest more time on the process, until they'll hardly accept to change or avoid gambling or videomaking. As they think it's the only place where people like him wouldn't put some stigma on him.

That's true, not only will it damage their mental health, their eyesight will also be affected if they look at gadget screens too often, therefore I think parents should be able to educate their children to limit their use of gadgets. because this can also make them addicted to playing gadgets, especially when it comes to gambling, someone who is addicted to gambling will certainly have bad effects, including mentally, and in my opinion this can also have an impact on their family members.

In fact, children have a high level of curiosity so it is likely that they will imitate what they find interesting, including gambling where gambling is a game and of course children will be interested in games, the fear is that addiction will occur, because of that This is a bad thing of course. If they are addicted, dangerous things will happen and harm themselves and their family or relatives. therefore preventing something is better than cure, right?
In my opinion, this mistake occurs based on a lack of attention and self-awareness.
what do you think? who is to blame?

That is very true, we as parents always have to do whatever it takes to keep children as far away as possible from games, devices like cell phones, and tablets. If a child has a lot of energy, it is better to warm them up through a sport, or doing outdoor activities, but many parents do not have time left to dedicate it to their children as it is, so it is easier to put it in front of a cell phone, compared to a tablet where things are basically different , where they entertain themselves, parenting is sometimes very hard, because there are children who are very hyperactive and they simply need immediate attention from their parents to be able to have a better vision, so in this order of ideas things can be very decisive, sometimes the parents' patience runs out and that is something that no one sees.

We are people who have to approve certain things for children, so if we have children we know that we have that commitment to always look for ways to do things better for them, attention, children need all of that.

The idea of cell phones and tablets for children is always to make the lives of parents easier so they can have a break, but children grow, they develop and they have to do things at home so that they are happy, we as peers must see these, They will never go back, that is why the phases of children must be enjoyed, from the moment they are born, until they are 18 years old and older, I say that my children I will never stop helping them, even if they are very old, with children And I will always give them support, without losing anything in return. That is one of the things that we should see and do and that is why we have children, so that we can enjoy them. I think that is one of the purposes of life for us and for them, to be the best parents, the ones they need.

that's right, this reminds me of the Covid-19 incident, where school children had to study online where they had to study using cellphones or tablets, this is completely not good, because with their habits when it comes to cellphones this has an impact The bad thing is, because playing with cellphones too often is not good, especially if they are not old enough. in my opinion this is true, they tend not to educate their children with healthy activities, in my opinion this is only done by parents who really prioritize health and it is very rare for parents to be like this, most of them give cell phones and tablets to the child plays.

Educating children is indeed an obligation for parents, and this needs to be paid attention to because now with the large number of online gambling games it is easy for anyone to see it and recognize it, so even though the children are still small they can know this because this is a game that has strong attraction, don't let those who are not old enough to be addicted to gambling because that's not good, of course it will harm them and it can even harm their family too. as you said, before they reach the age of 18, parental supervision still applies, even if they are over 18 years old, I think the right to parental supervision still applies.

Yo the same devices are the gateways to different sorts of indulgences, including gambling. Having them in the hands of the elderly people makes them easy targets for phishing scams, popup scams, telecaller frauds and eventually gambling addiction. Care should be taken when giving them access to such a device and child like parental controls put in that in order to avoid such mishaps.

While a lot of these devices can save lives, they are easy targets and hence the bad things weigh out the gains in my opinion.

The parents are to be blamed, as the kids are acting out of ignorance. The society also has to take a fair share of the blame for allowing other kids to be influenced by the use of gadgets. Which they know that is not good for the eyesight of the kids and brain. Our goal as parents is to have a close check on the kids and also know how to regulate the online network in the house. Maybe allowing internet access for a period of at least 3-4 hours for the kids. Then the child can only access the internet for smaller duration. Since the games they play these days are mostly online based games, the child may now have other time to focus on his books. Cautioning a child is not only by talking to him, but adding some restrictive measures which would remind the child about why he's being restricted from using the internet for some hours. These thoughts will now open some ideas in the brain of the child to use his time for other things, like his school assignment, reading and solving of mathematical problem. Which is quite beneficiary to the brain and thoughts of the child.

At least parents must supervise their children's use of devices, especially when their children are teenagers. When they are teenagers, there is a great sense of curiosity, especially since they start hanging out with lots of friends, and each of them shares a lot of things they know. This will definitely arouse curiosity in children so that they will try to find out for themselves. If these children are not properly accompanied, they can receive misleading information that will not provide correct information. And if they follow that information, they will take the wrong path, and if it is a gambling game, they can start gambling using the money given by their parents. This must be strictly supervised, and parents need to guide their children well.

There is actually a thin line difference between both because some how it takes only a little interest and a gamer turns to a gambler, because a gamer most times Play these games probably sports games in virtual form and get a very insight into what the actual game looks like in reality so they will not find difficulty gambling.

The most difference is that gambling you are staking your money while gaming you are just having fun without much at stake but at some point you may have to spend a few cash to get to certain level gambling. So it's very possible the relative could still pester to be able to afford wifi subscription and other things they will need to game. Who so ever games alot or probably is addicted to game should be kept under some kind of watch before they further grow into gambling because for them it's an opportunity to make money from what they do for fun.

When our kids reaches out into that moment on adolescent stage then this is where curiosity is really that on peak or extreme extent on which you should really be that too attentive or active
as a parent on trying out to avoid and letting you see on what are the things that they've been dealing with. If you do see that they've been able to get involved into something which is something not that good then it would really be your option to tell them about and make them realized that they should really be stopping on dealing with it because it isnt really that good.
If you are really that trying out to stick into the idea that you should really that responsible as a parent and do your thing as much as possible.

It will amount to committing a blunder if I accept that gambling doesn`t affect relatives. I will show ways gambling affects the lives of other family members. When a son borrows to gamble and is apprehended because of inability to pay, who pays the debt? his parents/guardian or even friends capable of paying. When a gambler uses his school fees to gamble, who pays the school fees again? his parents.

I have a friend who gambled with his school fees and so was prevented from writing an exam. When the school called his parents to inquire why has hadn`t paid, they told the school administrator that he had been given the school fees to pay. When the parents inquired about why he didn`t pay he opened up that he used it to gamble after much pressure from his parents. His parents had to pay again so he could sit for his exams. I have a friend who once sold a TV because he wanted to pay off debt caused by gambling, he stayed without a TV with his family for a while, does that not affect his family? It did.

Even the stories of people who committed suicide because of gambling created a vacuum in the lives of those who love them and even relatives. This article is also an insight https://800gambler.org/problem-gambling-how-it-affects-the-entire-family/

When an individual becomes entangled in the grip of a gambling addiction, the repercussions can reverberate through their monetary resources and interpersonal connections with kin. An assemblage of detrimental effects may ensue, including the accumulation of insurmountable debts, thrusting relatives entangled with afflicted gamblers into the onerous task of shouldering the weighty burden of financial losses. This onus could entail settling exorbitant debts, grappling with the disruption of familial finances, or even forfeiting communal possessions. Moreover, the pernicious clutches of gambling addiction have the potential to foment intense conflict within the family unit, ratcheting up levels of stress, anxiety, and insecurity. As a result, family relationships are susceptible to fraying due to the strain imposed by fiscal predicaments and corroded trust.

Gambling itself isn't inherently bad, like that uncle who tells embarrassing jokes. It's all about keeping things chill and responsible. But let's be honest, even the coolest uncle can wear out his welcome if he keeps spilling punch on your grandma.

Sure, winning a million bucks with a tenner might make your family do a happy dance. But let's face it, losing your shirt on risky bets is more likely to have them singing the blues. The constant ups and downs, even with small stakes, can put a strain on relationships, like that time your cousin borrowed your car and "accidentally" dented it.

Gambling can be fun, like a roller coaster ride with your family. But just like that ride, set some limits, know when to get off, and don't let it take over your whole day. Talk things through with your family, be open about your habits, and remember, spending quality time together is a surefire way to win their hearts, no dice required!

The gambling addiction of the individual will affect the gambling addicted gambler family and relatives.Because the gamblers who had loss their money in the gambling site will get more emotional towards the anger.So he will react in the violent way to their close circle because of the loss.It was essential for the gamblers to understand the reality and increase their gambling skills.The skills alone will help the gamblers to make money in the gambling site.The risk was key factor in the gambling,if they were able to get understand of the risk.They never get emotionally weak after the loss and the gamblers may not react on their family.

In my opinion, giving children a cell phone, tablet or computer too early is only a problem when it comes to their eyesight. This is because it could damage the child's eyesight, but if the child has good parents, well-educated parents who are attentive and vigilant, then there will be no problem. This is because the child will have time to use their cell phone, but during the time that the child is using their cell phone, they are learning a lot of good things, especially if, from a very early age, parents encourage children to watch things they teach. children to not be violent, to have good education at home, such as knowing how to greet their parents, knowing how to respect their parents, knowing how to apologize when they make a mistake

Nowadays you can see the disastrous consequences of children who remain on the streets all day because their parents and other members of the household are away from home or are in bars drinking alcohol and hanging out with prostitutes. The children become poorly educated, they become children without feelings and with a tendency to be violent, they consume alcohol on the street and consume drugs on the street. eventually they become addicted to drugs and alcohol. I've seen this a lot here in my country, and it's the parents' fault. In many families here in my country, women have children in their parents' homes and are abandoned by the guys who get them pregnant and as a result these women don't go to court to get their parents to pay child support.

because they are women with little education and do not know the laws, and they take out all their anger and hatred on their children, and their bad financial condition does not allow them to give cell phones, tablets, computers to their children and they cannot afford to pay for school with good material conditions. , the children go to public school. and when they get home, mothers send their children to play outside. It is sad that this is also causing many children to be stolen and days later they are found dead and no one is blamed or brought to justice here in my country. I prefer children to stay indoors with phones, computers, rather than be in danger outside the house

I don't believe that his family's reaction towards the issue would impact much remedy to the problem, because, how many locations can they cover? The victim can choose to go to another far location that his relatives couldn't have possibly covered and he would still carry on with his usual betting activities. What the person needs is real help.

And you might wanna get your topic well, specifically, it's an addictive gambling lifestyle that can affect your relationship with people around, and that's why gamblers are advised to gamble responsibly to avoid getting addicted to the point of finding yourself in a situation as this one, because once you get to that point, it's almost impossible to get out of it.

It's true that using gadgets too often is not good, because it has become commonplace in society, I think it's not a problem for parents, when their children prefer gadgets to playing with their friends, it has become a normal thing, but people should be supervised. Old people also have to be able to stay awake, they shouldn't be careless because nowadays the popularity of online gambling makes it easy for anyone to get to know it, even old people.

That's good, limiting the time they use the internet and gadgets is one way that can be done so that children are not greatly affected by gadgets, because if they play with gadgets often or for a long time, of course it will be bad for their eye health. We also have to be able to provide positive things that use gadgets, as you said, such as school assignments, because I often find that nowadays they can do school assignments using gadgets and internet access, including exams too, in my area there are schools that Indeed, the test is carried out using a gadget or computer. However, this is done by middle and above schools, so we should be able to limit the use of gadgets for young children, because if they do it too often it's not good either.

that's true, everyone will grow up in the future, society can bring them and can determine them too, if they are in the wrong company then it is likely that they will participate in a bad company, when they grow up of course they will have lots of friends and start mingle and indirectly this will make them drift into the surrounding environment. But in my opinion, even though they are adults, that doesn't mean parental supervision has to be lost.

In general, when they are adults, they will have their own thoughts and determine what is good for them and what is bad, but the other side of society will also determine them, as you said, it is possible that children can be carried away by misleading associations, including gambling. This can destroy their future if they respond to gambling excessively. Looking at the current social interactions of young people, they are definitely familiar with online gambling, I'm sure all children in the world will easily know about online gambling. It's true that what you said is that parents still have to be wary of their children, lest they get into the wrong company which leads them into things that are not profitable.

You are right and in this case there are indeed two factors that will influence it, namely financial and emotional, those who experience gambling addiction problems will clearly have quite poor financial and also irregular or uncontrolled emotional levels.
Maybe in small problems it will become big and enmity between family members and relatives and this is bad thing that should not happen, but gambling addicts cannot think in such way because they will only care about what they think is right.
A gambling addict attitude will never be stable and what they do or talk about is more likely to be careless which can lead to mistakes that can spark hostility or disputes.
There are also financial problems that may become problem, namely when gambling addict has lost all the money he has and he borrows some money from a relative or family member to continue his betting sessions, on the other hand when his relative or family member who provided the loan collects of course he won't be able to return it because don't have any money.
This is the most difficult part and will really trigger problems of harmony between families because money is part of the problem that will be difficult to resolve, especially if it is related to borrowing so it is certain that many disputes will occur.

It's true what you say because when they are really in their teens, their curiosity becomes even greater. They need more attention from their parents so their parents must be able to give attention and spend time even though their parents are very busy. This is all for the sake of their children, who are teenagers and need their parents' supervision and direction so they don't choose the wrong path. Their parents should be able to see the reality around them, and many teenagers take the wrong path. Every parent doesn't want their children to take the wrong path, so they really have to be able to supervise their children well and give them time to be close to their children.

And don't forget that this world will be more advanced than it is now, so every parent must be able to adapt to circumstances that will really change completely. They must also prepare knowledge that can adapt to their children's conditions and situations so they can continue to guide their children well without any significant difficulties. If every parent could do this, perhaps it could reduce the number of bad influences experienced by teenagers because many parents will always guide their children through their teenage years well until they are truly adults.

When teenage children are adults, they will no longer be confused about determining their direction and goals because they have received provisions from their parents that they can use based on the situations they will face. Teenage children can also return to their parents if they have problems that cannot be resolved, creating ongoing closeness between the children and their parents. If we look at today's young people's social interactions, parents will be surprised because they would never have imagined that their children would also be drawn into the wrong groups. For this reason, every parent needs always to guide their children well.

I truly wonder how you wouldn't give him a dime but yet you are willing to establish him with the expenses of finances. I understands how provoking such situations of watching him having the money given to him to gambling again without realizing his mistakes but you must remember @oktana that your diverse of establishing him can also be squandered as the same causes of him trying to get some money to still gamble.
Yes, so as long you showed such an empathy measures, it means his responsibilities are also your concerned and you dearly cares about his gambling misconducts. There is no pretence there and you can't just hide it. Lol.

Well. Let's not pertake to responsibilities just because we just needed to signed-in and claims that we have played our roles over it While deep down we are not concerned about the issues on ground.

Someone hooked on gambling might seem like they're making crazy choices, borrowing from loan sharks or even stealing. But imagine a powerful urge, like a riptide pulling you towards a dangerous wave. That's what addiction can feel like – overwhelming and hard to resist. It's not just about wanting money; it's about chasing that dopamine rush, the feel-good chemical in your brain that screams "more, more, more!" even when everything crumbles around you.

Gambling addiction isn't just about money. Sure, folks lose their shirts, but it's also about the brain's reward system going haywire. Gambling releases feel-good chemicals, and the brain craves more and more, like a sugar rush that never ends. This cycle makes it super tough to resist, even when things get messy. And let's not forget the impact on families. They're not just bystanders watching the chips fall. They're dealing with the stress, the broken trust, and the financial strain. They're victims too, not enablers.

No. I beg to differ. A gamer and a gambler are really distinct from one another. A gamer plays games for either fun or to make money. For those who do it to make money, they need not stake anything. But a gambler doesn’t gamble for fun, they gamble (stake money) to make money. What I said about your relatives pestering you was in general but I just see gambling to not be a good enough reason. It makes sense to buy WiFi for your relative if you know this is something that constantly pay without even risking anything.

You are absolutely right, we as people should do everything possible to do things Better , personally I have always said that a cell phone device for children I do not agree with, first because they can do many things that sometimes they do not even know. how they make them, calls, look up numbers and call, just because they are experimenting, so this is what makes us people more focused on doing things that go beyond what we are looking for, for example that is a faclida for mothers They live it in busy houses, doing household chores and making food, etc., because household chores are not at all simple, they are difficult, children do entertain them with games, because they don't care, with that They finish doing their activities and that is what Really Matters to them, for me that is something that has a lot to do with irresponsibility, then the children end up with glasses, with other types of problems, they cannot fall asleep, ua The amount of preblam that can bring them is impressive.

That's why I have always said that when you Try to do things thinking About what you can Achieve, that's fine, but I always emphasize that things should always be Considered not for the Relaxation or rest of ourselves as adults, but for the best. Training for our children I believe that a child should have a table or cell phone at 16 years old, but it is almost impossible for it to be done at that age, in fact children who do not even know how to read can Know where everything is on the Telephone, where to write a whats ap, where you can write a telegram and an sms , because they become experts , and they search Google through voice, so they don't give up for anything, they are very intelligent, that intelligence should be used for other things , and thus Exploit them Better with the Things they come with and their talents.
