Being addicted to gambling can be a thorn in the flesh. We have heard many bad behavior from gambling addicts that shows that gambling is a serious concern requiring serious efforts at curbing it. Many casinos also include in their disclaimer "gamble responsibly" and this shows the danger of gambling addiction.

However, I'm wondering if addiction can make someone become aggressive to the point of leading to domestic violence. Has there been any known case of it happening? Lets know what you have to say.

You won't find a cause-effect relationship in scientific studies. There will be specific cases of gamblers who hit women just as there will be cases of gamblers who rape children, but just as there is a small percentage in society in general.

The fact that a person has two characteristics (such as being a gambler and hitting women) does not mean that there is a cause-effect relationship between them. I'm sure many of the gamblers on this forum may find the implication offensive.

Big O Yeah! Any addiction in general can lead to domestic violence depending on the person state of mind. Because a person with a short temperance attitude will surely resort to violence once addiction kicks in especially when we are talking about gambling that is very brutal in regards with finances.

Philippines, My country is a living proof for this because there’s a lot of domestic violence happening here just because the husband is heavily addicted on gambling. When online sabong becomes rampant here, Lots of house wife file a complaint in national level that makes our law maker and president decided to ban online sabong due to the damage it results to Filipino households.

Cases of domestic violence due to gambling are frequent in my country.
Most of those who do gambling are those who have a middle to lower economy, and they have also become gambling addicts.

Domestic violence occurs because of the effects of gambling, they have no money left and are forced to sell everything they see at home,
including jewelry belonging to their wives and other valuables.

Often occurs in offline gambling and this makes the psychology of a gambler disturbed and can commit any criminal act including domestic violence.

Gambling has good and bad effects, but bad effects dominate because gambling is only used as a place to try luck and hope to get a big jackpot.
But in the end it will only give defeat and lose all the money.

But for those who make gambling only as entertainment by giving a small allocation to gambling, so they will stop when the allocation runs out and gambling is also just entertainment, there will be no panic or stress because of gambling for entertainment purposes.

If there is anything that easily leads to destruction of homes and domestic violence as you put it, it is addiction of anything been it drinking, smoking and then gambling tops it off. If you look at what causes most domestic violence it is the inability of the addicted not to discharge his duties accordingly. A gambler addict hardly has money to safe for family or for himself and this gets the other family members angry. The most frequent thing self is the fact that they go ahead to steal other family members money or even squander the assets kept in their possessions for the use of the family or the community and if the reports gets to the owner of the assets or the potential beneficiaries it leads to confrontation which as we all know is the bedrock of every violence.

If you look at some of the reason why religious faith actually frowns upon gambling or any form of addiction is because of the fact that it leads to this said violence.

Yes I think gambling addiction can lead to domestic violence. When a gambler spends most of his time at the casino and have little time for his family. Things like this can cause a problem at home, as the wife will constantly be disturbing the gambler to limit or stop his gambling habits and the gambler will see it as an insult to him and this can often lead to a fight at home. There has been several cases of this in my region. Gambling addicts don't like who is stopping them from gambling.

In general, the most basic cause of domestic violence is the MONEY factor. The correlation between the two is still very close, the meeting between domestic violence and gambling is caused by money. Small quarrels that occur in the household because of money, when the wife demands that the husband buy household necessities but the husband is unable to fulfill all these demands because the money has been spent on gambling, will trigger bad communication between the couple. Arguments about money can lead to disputes between the two and their status can escalate into physical, emotional violence and all forms of domestic violence.

Of course, anything bad can happen to gamblers, because if they are addicted to gambling they will do anything to get money and gamble, domestic violence can also occur for many reasons, such as asking their wife for money but not giving it, selling the contents of the house, even The most terrible thing is stealing, criminal acts like this are what is really feared, the effects of gambling addiction are very dangerous

I cannot cite a specific case, but I'm certain it will. One possible effect of addiction is that the victim is irritable. The victim easily gets angry. If this is the case, domestic violence is a tendency.

An addict might be in a good mood if he/she comes home winning. But what if he/she comes home with a heavy loss? He/she's definitely in a bad mood. The actions or even mere presence of his/her wife/husband or children might easily annoy him/her, leading to violence.

Especially if the addicted gambler badly wants to go back to the casino but has already drained his/her wallet, that's when he/she is very hard to handle or please. Everything seems to be wrong; everyone seems to be at fault.

I am not aware of such cases. But it's very much possible. I have heard that people could be addicted to gambling and they could do anything to manage their gambling money including killing people for money. Gambling addiction and Drug addiction are similar types of addictions. The addicted people turn into a person without a brain. It's like they could do anything to manage the fund.

I know some underage kids know has been growing in front of my eyes. They dropped from the school and started working at very young age and they spend all their earnings on gambling. The fact is, they do not care about it. They just earn, gamble and repeat it over and over. They laugh about it.

It's not only limited to domestic violence, but it can happen to everything.

The addict will use all of his money, if he don't have any money left, he will try to other ways:
1. Take a loan from online lending apps.
2. Ask money to his friends, parents or relatives.
3. Steal a valuable stuff.
4. Rob someone else house.

If he didn't get what he want, he will hurt or torture the person until he gives the money.

I say yes.
Even if you are not a gambling addict yet, just losing a ton of money can lead to domestic violence. There are a lot of angry people in gamble and it's because their emotions are being affected by the results of their gambling. A winner can be the smiling type and he can be generous at giving money because of the joy after a win. A loser will probably be stressed all day and when someone talks to them, they will get angry. They are easily irritated and I think that's already domestic violence if it's done on his/her partner.

To be honest, I felt that too, and sometimes I got to yell with my kids but then I would tell myself that I was wrong and I would be sorry for how I behaved. But when I win, I am truly different, filled with joy.
Not just gambling addicts can do these things, even those who are first-timers, or just gamble occasionally can do such things especially if the money used was supposed to be a payment for an important matter. Stress always leads to something bad and we must control it or else we might do things that we will regret in the future.

Addiction to anything could lead to several abnormal behaviours. Research shows a relationship between some forms of addiction to domestic violence. Regarding gambling addiction violence might happen in the home as gamblers might transfer the pain of losses they experience to their partners. When a gambler loses more than he can afford to endure, he might end up becoming angry or aggressive and a little offence at home could make him attack his partner.

There was a case in my area where are man beat up his wife constantly because he claimed that she was responsible for his losses. He said before he got married to her, he was always wining his bets but his luck ceased immediately when he got married to her. He claimed that she came to him with bad luck. But everyone knows that he was just using her as an excuse to cover up for his uncontrollable gambling life.

Of a truth I have witnessed cases of this nature where a man would want to sell  his property and his wife would refuse him from selling it because she knows he would use the money to gamble. It is unfortunate that such can happen and when such happens and the man meets resistance from his wife the next thing is that they both fight over it or he beats her up for the reasons of she obstructing or refusing him from selling the property.

In some cases, when the man returns home with anger to have lose funds in the cause of gambling, and his wife starts nagging around he transfers the anger and annoyance of losing the game and funds on her and sometimes display his rascality at home making his family become scared of him.

No direct correlation given that domestic violence comes with many forms and with many reasons not only with gambling. But if it is general tendency or possibility then ofcourse it has a chance of occurence given that frustration is often linked with gambling due to losses but again, low to no chances in my perspective. I would more believe that gambling has a higher tendency to be relaated with self harm especially with cases of obvious addiction on gamblers' end.Good point but in this instance, it is indirect correlation given that violence rooted from the fact that he needs money and not with the activity alone. One of the dangers however dependent with the gambler and not representative to all players, actually likewise with addiction itself.

Best thing is to limit oneself if you know to yourself that you cannot handle the downside of gambling. It involves money which is for sure something which gives weight to every outcome especially negative consequences of betting.

Yes.

That's not a new thing and that happens when a gambler is on a losing streak, his mood is bad and his irritated. It makes that gambler wanting to point his anger to someone.

And that's why you typically see some families that has an active gambler and then when he's got no money left because he was on a losing streak. He gets to scold their family members when they're just trying to be nice to him and ask if his okay or not.

I don't think that gambling addiction is going to cause domestic violence. With gambling addiction people are attracted to casinos and their games, they would love to spend a lot of time gambling and make a lot of money. Violence has no real part in that addiction, it's not like gambling addicts love to hurt other people or start to fighting. Also when visiting casinos there will addicts there, but I never saw a fight happening. The number one factor leading to domestic violence in my opinion is alcohol, because it makes people aggressive. Gambling addiction doesn't make people aggressive like alcohol.

Definitely. There had been reports of addicted gamblers being violent. But even people who are not gamblers are going to get violent when they find themselves with nothing in their hands. People without money usually are hot-tempered.

In a home where a father has no job but wants to provide for their family can become violent. The reason why some are robbing banks and stealing is because off no money and a gambler without money can be as dangerous as a hungry jackal

Indeed, there is some evidence linking gambling addiction to a greater chance of domestic violence, particularly in my nation.
As far as I can observe, gambling addiction can often result in financial difficulties. because when someone loses a sizable sum of money while gambling, it can cause financial stress for both the gambler and their family.
Of course, tensions and conflicts within the family could be increased by this financial burden, which could lead to an increase in domestic violence.
When they become addicted to gambling, some gamblers may lose control over their behavior or lose their ability to manage themselves.
They may also mistreat a family member or spouse because they lose at gambling and demand money from them.  :'(

Gambling addiction can definitely have negative impacts on relationships, including the potential for domestic violence. No one in any relationship will tolerate his or her partner losing money to gamble constantly without limits, neglecting and jeopardising work and relationship because of gambling, borrowing money and selling of possessions  to finance gambling and lying just to gamble etc.

It important to remember and note that gambling addiction can lead to emotional,financial distress and so many others which can contribute, lead  to conflicts and violence at home or in  relationships.

Addiction can lead to domestic violence. An addicted gambler who looses all his money to gambling, goes home to his wife frustrated and angry, then demands more money but gets refused by wife can become angry and violent, beating up their partner.
An addicted gambler can also transfer the aggression whenever he looses to his wife, children, siblings, pets and even friends on the slightest provocation. It is a case that I have imagined in my head, but it can happen. Domestic violence is an extreme case of what addiction to gambling can also lead to.

Of course, this can happen, when an addict can no longer control himself and has large debts, then he will think about committing criminal acts such as stealing or perhaps committing domestic violence because of the stress of dealing with his own gambling problem.

I once read on a forum about a case of a grandfather who kidnapped his own daughter for money, I forgot where the post was. However, in my area, there are cases of young children who are determined to steal to get money, and there are also those who commit suicide because they are in large amounts of debt due to irresponsible gambling.

I think gambling addiction has often been discussed in forums and the dangers posed by gambling addiction are very dangerous

Gambling addiction can lead to domestic violence and it is one of the causes of divorce, separation, and broken families, the characters of those addicted to gambling are prone to anger and hurting their partners they are hard-headed and easily annoyed especially if they cannot sustain their addiction.
I read a lot of stories about those addicted to gambling blaming their family for their losses and for the money they spend on the family instead of using it to their addiction.
All the addicted gamblers I've encountered are very sensitive, easily get into a fight and they bring their anger from their losses inside their home, gambling addiction if not handled correctly can lead to domestic violence that can lead to separation of the family.
So if you want an intact family don't get addicted to gambling.

In my point of view, yes it is possible that addiction can make a person aggressive enough to lead to domestic violence but it is not directly but indirectly. For example, excessive amount of gambling addiction often leads people towards loss, moreover, due to this loss, many gamblers are often in debt, then they are also addicted to various drugs for the depression. Later, it can be seen that they cause domestic violence due to the rate of gambling.
Also I found in a survey that fifty percent of criminals who commit crimes are affected by gambling addiction although I don't remember the source yet. Moreover, in the news of my country, news is coming every day that a gambler killed another gambler due to their problem with gambling money. So considering these aspects, it can be said that gambling addiction does not only lead people towards domestic violence, but also towards bigger crimes.

I read somewhere there is a study here in our country where 90% of addiction leads to domestic violence, in a country where there is a poor economy every cent and peso counts, so if money is allocated to gambling instead of buying bills and food on the table, there will be an argument that will lead to domestic violence, the wife cannot just take it and it will lead to separation.
This is why addiction is a big concern of our government because the family is the one that will suffer first if the head or any members of the family are addicted, if you're an average-income earner and you're betting, check and moderate yourself or it will lead to domestic violence that ruin your home.

Agree to this and even worst if the family member resorted to loaning which he/she use their property as collateral for money that spend on gambling. This kind of incident usually resulted to violence due to the losses involved.

People reaction as violence on dire situations is pretty common not only in poor country but also in 1st world country because we are talking about ruining the family finances over gambling addiction. But most of this incident happened on poor country because people here always resort to gambling as shortcut to earn quick rich instead of finding job that have a decent salary.

Addiction, in gambling, can definitely lead to violence especially if it gets out of control.

Naturally, excessive gambling can lead to a serious of problems both financially and physically. The addicted can get stuck in a cycle where they tend to continue gambling in order to recover their losses. Unfortunately, this leads to more things that may further escalate in which violence is always a tendency in this situation.

At the end of the day, gambling is one of those things that can spiral out of control when the person cannot control their urges. This can potentially lead to violence and even death especially if the situation cannot be controlled to a certain degree.

 There's definitely the tendency for gambling addicts to be violent. The feeling of being without a means to play is like they are missing out on their daily fix. It's like one who hasn't eaten, the aggression is bound to be there. They are called gambling addicts for a reason, meaning they cant have a control over it so asking if it could lead to domestic violence, even without proper statistics, we know the answer will be yes.
 True, it is warned that gamblers ought to gamble responsibily but you can agree with me that humans find it difficult to adhere to rules, it just takes one who is disciplined to keep himself in check. Have you not seen that even in cigarette packs that there's a warning for smokers, still they go ahead and do it all the same, so what makes you think they won't do same with gambling?

Yes. Gambling addiction can for sure spark domestic violence, just like any other addictions.  The anxiety, stress, and money struggles that come with betting addictions can make relationships way more tense.  This can cause gambling addicts to take stuff out on their partner screaming or getting physical.  

Gambling problems also mess with finances, which strains things at home.  Money fights and stress are common, and those Arguments over cash definitely make violence more likely too.

If you have a heavy gambling habit, domestic violence and gambling can cause a lot of harm to your family. First of all, intensive gambling destroys trust in the family.  It leads to financial losses in the family and these losses lead to psychological and social problems, such as divorce and domestic violence.

Most importantly, the relationships that are entered into to finance gambling are reflected in the family order and its members. The more you lose at gambling, the more ambitious you become and the more you lose, and this has a very negative impact on peace in the family. I hope you do not have an intense gambling addiction. Because everyone can gamble at their discretion and do it for fun.

when a gambling addict goes home and the first thing they hear is their nagging wife it really will boil the blood of the addict. and when he goes to the table without something to eat, it will turn the addict into a battering husband.

this is the kind of life in which the addict usually ends up either a drug addict or a gambling addict, especially if he doesn't contribute to making the wife's life easy.

Everything could be possible and this is something that you should really be wary about on which on the time that addiction hits then it would possibly make you do things which
you might been not be able to do for the rest of your life and this is something that would really be that normal specially into those people who do have those emotional problems
or having those temper problems because once you do able to encounter such frustration then you might be ending up these impulsive actions which it might cause harm into other people.

I have seen some situations in speaking about shoot out.

Video from Manila resort attack shows gunman setting fire to casino

Casino staff, guests among 37 killed at Resorts World Manila
https://edition.cnn.com/2017/06/02/asia/manila-philippines-resort-world-victims/index.html

Is this one of those addicted gamblers? Or simply being hired on killing those people into that venue?

this is very likely to happen when a gambling addict cannot control their emotions and when they behave more aggressively and cannot control themselves to be rude to other people. especially when there are things they don't like, such as losing at gambling or when other people tell them not to gamble, usually these things will lead to violence.

so far there have been many cases where domestic violence occurred because a gambling addict behaved aggressively towards their family when something triggered their anger. this has even become a concern for the government and several ngos because the victims of domestic violence caused by gambling addicts not only suffer physical injuries but also psychological ones which lead to deep trauma.

It's not gambling addiction that can lead to domestic violence; any kind of addiction may lead to malicious behaviors such as domestic violence, along with other mental illnesses in the background; it's never the addiction by itself. It puts you in a vicious cycle and can ruin you financially in an attempt to recoup previous losses. However, alcoholism is no better, and in my opinion, it's probably the worst addiction and the most likely to lead to domestic violence, not gambling. You can't have any kind of self-control when you're intoxicated.

Anyone who can't control themselves and resort to violence have major mental issues and lack of self control, the addiction is only the tree, but not the forest.

I think yes. Addiction can make your mental health in dire as there are a lot of things rounding up to your mind. If the gambler has other issues like for example having short temper and anger issues, there's a high chance that the gambler who has an addition can result to domestic violence. A stressed gambler because of losses partnered with unstable mind, there's a fat chance that the gambler can commit a crime. What more if the gambler become intoxicated with alcohol or substance, it's an added chance that a gambler can do anything that he can think.

Over all it depends on the gambler's characteristics, there are added factors and being a gambling addict can be one of that factors why a gambler can commit a domestic violence.

Not sure if there is correlation between the two, maybe there are gamblers who has uncontrollable behavior, but maybe it's just a small percentage. Many of us here at one point becoming gambling addicts like myself, but I didn't recourse to domestic violence even if I lost all my money in one day. However, I will quote this study,


https://www.greo.ca/en/topics/domestic-and-inter-partner-violence.aspx

But as I have said, perhaps there are gamblers that losses everything, financially and psychologically that they blame everyone around them, their spouses or even their children to the bad luck they have in gambling.

It's possible, because addictions in general trigger aggressive behavior. If the gambler addicted is facing a long loss streak, losing money he can't afford to lose, hearing a lot of complaints at home from his wife regards his addiction, or is suffering from abstinence, it's possible he attacks her physically full of rage. Although not every addicted person will act like this. I think it will depend on their personal personalities and traits. Some people are more aggressive, while others are more passive and will tend to just get ashamed and depressive when confronted by their wives.

Potentially, it can get even worse when more than one kind of addiction are mixed, like for an example when the gambler is also an alcoholic or drugs user. In this case, I fear the combination might be fatal, and there is no other alternative for the wife besides getting ourt of the relationship as soon as possible for her own good and welfare of her children. Then the addicted individual can be sent to a rehabilitation clinic, and luckily, within time he can recover himself and adopt a new healthy lifestyle to be reintegrated to the society and family.

From what I actually see in the environment I live in, most gambling addicts are selfish. They prioritize their own desires without thinking and acting rationally. It is possible to act violently if one's desires are thwarted, but this does not apply to everyone. If they commit violence and crime, perhaps their own attitudes and traits are not due to gambling. However, gambling addiction can also be an additional driving factor for someone to commit crime and violence.

One common behavior among gambling addicts is the fact that they're always angry and emotionally hurt almost everytime which is caused by their continuous losses in the gambling engagements. It is because of that behavior of being prone to anger even on very little things that people are advised to not to always associate with them.

Gambling addiction can lead to domestic violence because whenever they're triggered as a result of their losses in gambling, they tend to transfer their aggression on anyone who's close to them. I've been opportuned to witness domestic violence that was caused by gambling addiction

I've said this kind of things severally because I know quite well that gambling addition is basically depend on people who want to recover their money which then lost true gambling or through staking so I believe that it is one of the major reasons or the one of major thing that causes gambling addition to whoever that is a gambler totally I believe that the gambling can make you to be addicted when you believe that you will win gambling everyday and every time that you take again or every time that you lose in gambling that is why we have to have a total number of game we bet in particular season or particularly or weekly so that we will know how much we have profited in gambling

There is what we call transfer of aggression, this is a situation where an individual who is not able to handle their emotions tend to burst out on the wrong issues, not attacking the main reason behind their emotional crisis, this can happen when a gambler lose huge sum of money, it will affect their emotions and will power to the extent of transfering that anger on any person that is around them, and such can be so tiring, and this can happen to even a none addicts.

I have seen some people who are not physically addicted to any thing like gambling but still have such issues with anger management so we may not have to blame gambling addictions for such an act but then also we need to specifically point out the danger of gambling addiction and how badly it can affect all other aspects of someone life.

Yes, they as gambling addicts will certainly be able to commit domestic violence, especially when they come home in a state of defeat and at home the wife asks too much from her husband, so the husband will commit violence if he can no longer control his emotions and usually someone Of course, gambling addicts will forget their responsibilities towards their family because they gamble too often and will not be able to meet their family's needs.

Not all domestic violence, it is caused by someone who is addicted to gambling. However, when someone is addicted to gambling, both husband and wife, gambling addiction can be a trigger for quarrels and domestic violence.

If a person experiences a feeling of addiction to gambling, it proves that the person does not have good self-control and emotions. Gambling addiction often causes serious financial problems, including mounting debt and loss of family economic resources, which makes financial and economic conditions in the family unstable. Apart from financial problems, it is very easy for those who are addicted to gambling to feel stress and high emotional pressure. In addition, a gambling addict often lies to hide and justify his very detrimental gambling activities.
Where these pressures can trigger conflict and domestic violence. Those who are addicted to gambling have very poor emotional control and to express their frustration and anger in gambling, they no longer hesitate to commit domestic violence.

An aggressive person who gambles has the potential to become violent because it already is in their nature, while an individual who is not aggressive by nature will not become violent even if they become addicted to gambling.

Gambling addiction does not make people violent or capable of domestic violence, violent people who become addicts to gambling are capable of domestic violence.

Not all addict but there could be cases too of domestic violence from gambling addiction. I think it's well documented for all addiction specially drugs. It might be subtle effect though, but still it could lead for lets say to abuse their spouses and put the blame on them as we don't know what extend a addicted gambler will do if they lose a game. So it's very dangerous effect, but I do hope that no one here from our community specially physical abuse as might have a worst result.

It's serious and unacceptable violation of human rights, specially if you did it to your wife or even to your children who has nothing to do with your losing money, and thus venting and being aggressive to them.

all people who are addicted to something, be it people who are addicted to alcohol, people who are addicted to drugs or people who are addicted to gambling, whenever they are not doing the thing they are addicted to, they tend to become very unstable and often become very aggressive. . For example, a person who plays in casinos for 6 hours every day, then that person runs out of money to play and in that time of 6 hours without playing, that person will start looking as if that time was taking a long time to pass and as a consequence the person starts to have aggressive behavior and when other people try to restrain him, then that person addicted to gambling will fight with them

I've heard many stories of people who killed their relatives because they were addicts and their relatives were trying to cure them and they didn't want to be admitted to a rehabilitation clinic, so they went to kill their relatives. When doctors keep telling everyone who has a relative or friend who is an addict to take the addict to the hospital urgently, the relatives most often refuse to take the addict to the hospital sooner. One of the biggest difficulties that exists in the fight against domestic violence is that people who are attacked refuse to report the aggressor to the police because they think that the aggressor will change his behavior, even when the domestic violence has lasted for many years

This is practically the base action to every gambling addict and believe me my friend you would be surprised to what gambling addiction can do in the life of a chronic gambler. When it comes to gambling addiction and domestic violence I really can count the number of cases that am well familiar with and most of them are involving the issues of the woman giving advice to her husband for the excuses for him always squandering his money and the man lashes out all his frustration on her like a panther waiting aimlessly for his prey.

Obviously, gambling addiction can make a person more dangerous from domestic violence. I think it is a regular routine of a addicted gambler house There will always be turmoil in the family and eventually there will be domestic violence. If you search Google with a little trouble, you can easily see what other crimes people can commit as a result of gambling addiction.

This is why it would really be that important that you should really be that responsible when it comes to your gambling habit. It is really just that common sense that once that addiction is really that severe then it would really be something that will really be resulting into something like this on which we dont really be able to expect that it could really happening on which things turns out to be that non ethical anymore but since you are already that too addicted with gambling then you could really do things that you havent done it before or something that very extreme on which it isnt really that shocking that you would really be
having that kind of possibility on the time that you do become that too impulsive and really that dedicated to play specially if you dont have funds in your pocket.

This is why it would really be that wise that you should really be having that good control when it comes gambling activity and dont make yourself that addicted as simple as that.

Let me say I first saw this domestic violence remark a while ago in this gambling section, and at first, I wanted to query it, but on the other thoughts, I discovered that it is so possible. And yes, gambling responsibly is key here, if one wants to overcome all these unnecessary bad sides of gambling, he must obey the good and simple rules of gambling, there is no alternative to that. But if one can't obey it, anything is possible which includes the domestic violence we are talking about. Now, how can it happen? It is simple. Most people often get angry when they are broke, well, if you are not, many people do, this is true unless you are just the person who has trained yourself not to be sentimental, emotional or pass aggression, just like me, but I know that many people around me do.

This is purely psychological, and for people to be very happy when they earn big money or win the Jackpot and similar events that give money, one can do the opposite when they lose or their expectations are cut-off. This can unfortunately cause anger and aggression depending on how they can handle themselves and the situation in question. Imagine the person who had suffered a huge loss today, maybe his whole project money or salary had been wasted in the casino house, and when he got home, the wife started pressuring him again. Such might not be able to handle it like though the loss never happened. This is just an example as similar cases could trigger it even if the person is not provoked, so it is possible. But I urge everyone to be able to control how they feel, it is not worth it to be mad due to losses, that shows the person is weak. You shouldn't have gambled with the money that will hurt you in the first place, so who is to blame if not you?

Crime and other correlated things would really happen if gambling addiction would really be kicking in. This is why it would really be that best that you should really mindful about dealing
with gambling because once you do find yourself getting derailed on what are the things that should really be done or being simply responsible then this is where it would be resulting
into something devastating on which if it comes into a point that you are already doing things which arent supposed to be done. It could really be leading into domestic violence
on which i do agree that if things could really happen into your own home or family then how much more into public places on which you could really freely make those kind of reactions or doings?

Honestly for this problem I have never found or heard of cases of gambling addicts who commit violence against their family members whether it is their children or their wives, but certainly if I look at the bad behavior of an addict then maybe I can say that gambling addiction has the potential to make someone act aggressively in family relationships and it is very possible for them to commit acts of violence, one scenario that is quite plausible is as we know that an addict is those who are always excessive in their gambling involvement, They are willing to do anything just to gamble and if they run out of money then usually loans are what they will use as an alternative to finance their gambling, not only this because some crimes are also very likely to be committed, I once heard on one of the TV news broadcasts that there were three people who were desperate to steal a jewelry store and when they were interrogated they said that all the money from the theft was allocated to gambling, this is the bad thing about gambling and also the reason why we must try to always be a responsible gambler.

Another reason why I say that a gambling addict is very likely to commit acts of violence in their domestic relationship is because as I said about those who I have told above who are desperate to become criminals, and also usually gambling addicts find it difficult to accept the fact of losing which in turn they can bring their emotional atmosphere into the house.

Cases of domestic violence due to gambling often occur in low-income communities. There are lots of references that can be read in several Southeast Asian media.
Because I also happen to be Asian, so I understand very well about this incident. On average, husbands are addicted to gambling and sell everything in the house, and don't even give any money to their wives.
This is what causes differences of understanding which ultimately lead to domestic violence. And quite a few end up being murder cases.

the above topics will give you insights that this problem has been studied already. meaning, this is indeed one of the arising problems brought by gambling. not only in Asia but definitely, it is experienced by people across the globe. it has no boundaries, as long as there is one gambler in the family, you can be subjected to a certain form of violence one way or another.

The truth is it's not actually gambling that causes the bad behaviors of people but it's a habit that's inbuilt in them that has not been resolved before venturing into gambling. since this bad behaviors of hitting people are home is rooted in them getting the emotions that loses incurred in them might have provoked the anger in them leading to domestic violence.

What I'm saying in essence is that one's bad behaviors shouldn't be blamed on gambling because same way people who do not gamble creates domestic violence in every home same way gamblers do too the only difference is one gambles and the other does not.

And the only way to cop with this bad behaviors plus gambling addiction is to change ones mind set first before change every other characteristics.

For a gambler that naturally he/she has anger issues it is very easy to find such a gambler transfer aggression uncontrollably towards their partner or people around them. The emotional pain of losing their money coupled with a naturally innate anger issues there's nothing hard for such a loser addictive gambler from transferring his aggression on every little matters and before you know it someone is suffering an abuse from them. Though incidents of domestic violence resulting from  gambling addiction is very limited yet it doesn't mean it doesn't happen somewhere in the world .

I have never seen but often happens to me not to the extent of hitting anyone in the house but sometime I easily got angry if my bets didn't go as predicted that is to say when i lost my games I will becomes so aggressive in a way that when someone talks to me in a manner that i don't like I will easily pick offense to every thing they are saying around me but won't hit anyone. If I can control mine then maybe who knowns if any person out there can possibly react against it when they lost their bets.
Most times when I lost my bet I go straight inside to remain calm without interacting much people so that I won't pick offense if they don't speak what pleases me.

Lots of factors including but not limited to gambling leads to domestic violence. That's why most families need to work hard at rescuing a member who find it difficult getting out of any form of addiction. A family with a good intention for the growth of their ward would endeavor to save him from struggling. Although it only gets worse each day, neglecting a family member is quite not easy compared to one would get if he was an acquaintance. Domestic violence can erupt when the family isn't capable for controlling the addict's behavior. Things also get rough along every line of the healing process. Hence, one shouldn't think they'll wouldn't be some grievous encounter between the rescue team, his family. Addiction is as injurious to the addict as it is to the parent or family. People hardly withstand pain without getting enraged at any unwanted behavior. So, we are expected to see a domestic violence in such situations as gambling addiction.

Yeah, it can actually cause domestic violence. If you must know, people usually have different temperaments, and with such a difference in temperament, every gambler will always react differently when they experience losses in gambling.

There are some addicted gamblers who can actually steal the money that belongs to their spouse and use it for gambling. They may end up losing that money, and if they are confronted by their spouse, it could lead to domestic violence.

As long as some addicted gamblers can steal to make sure they gamble, while others can also leave their 2-year-old baby alone at home just for them to go and gamble, then it is evident that addiction to gambling can lead to domestic violence.

You're probably watching a lot of those South American Telenovelas but I can see how this can be real.

I got an acquaintance whose dad's been a chronic gambler, way back then he's a family man and is very much supportive of his family, he even goes so far as to see that my acquaintance—his daughter, is growing securely and safely, you know, regular dad shit. Eventually when he found out about bingo which is a form of gambling here in the Philippines things went for the shitter. He stopped going to work and only taking projects that would allow him to have time to play casino, probably from the atmosphere of the casino he cheated on his wife and started abusing her even in the front of my acquaintance, eventually the family fell apart and he went out to live with his mistress, and his life's on the shitbox now last I heard cause he couldn't catch a break and he found out the bitch he hooked up with isn't as cool as he initially thought she was.

So yeah, it's quite possible for gambling to eventually snowball into vices that are bad for the person.

Actually yes especially if they don't fully understand that what people around him do is to help him understand that his current condition is in worse situation then he feel bad about it.

Addiction is real deep problem that's why anything we can't imagine people would do could possibly happen  that's why people need to learn from the experiences of other people and always listen to reminder not only by the casino but also to his concern family members.

There are several cases happen like that and this is perfect example also a good site to read regarding the physical abuse effect of gambling addiction https://maryhaven.com/gamblers-families-risk/

Addiction will always lead to domestic issues and violence because it involves money that should have been allocated for the family now is being spent on gambling addiction, so many domestic violence are recorded due to the husband's addiction to gambling and he cannot provide for the family, and the wife cannot tolerate a husband that cannot provide for his family and this will result to quarrel so domestic violence happens.
So many divorces happen because of domestic violence and the cause is the partner's gambling addiction.

I am sure problem gambling can lead to cases of domestic violence. Mostly, it is because the man of the family (who is addicted to gambling) does not have the means to get enough money to continue, so he uses money which was supposed to be used for the upkeep of the household, leading to arguments between the members of the family. If the man as a bad temper, then physical violence ensues.
I am sure it happens quite often with gambling, because I have heard about cases here in my city about men who are addicted to Videogames , specifically MOBAS like League of Legends, to the point of neglecting their wives and not working as much as they are supposed to meet the needs of the home.

I recall one occasion the wife tried to keep his husband from playing by setting a password to the computer, that unlashed the anger of the husband who physically assaulted her. Remember, we are talking about a videogame which does not have a direct relationship with the wager of money.

Imagine what would happen in scenarios where the husband is not addicted to MOBAS but to playing dices, Plinko or slots, the domestic violence would indeed be worse and if the wife does not report her husband because the social stigma it could bring to her and the rest of the family, she is likely to either continue to be a victim of violence and face the bankruptcy of his family.

Gambling addiction is like poison within the gambler. If they become addicted, sooner or later the poison will cause a person to lose control and one day it will destroy the addict's life at any time. Some poisons can be cured and some cannot be cured. if the poison has not spread then it is better to immediately treat and handle it by a professional person and in the end it can be saved, therefore when we gamble we should not swallow poison (addiction) prevent this and gamble with discipline and responsibility then gambling will not be a big problem in home life.

We have certainly heard a lot that gambling addiction has a bad impact on financial health and also has a bad impact on family life because the addiction itself is what causes everything to happen because gambling addiction can sometimes change the nature of someone who was initially patient into someone who gets emotional easily and becomes harsh and temperamental.

It happened directly in my life, when I was young my father was a gambling addict and had lost a lot of money. The tension in the family was always overwhelming and at that time I did not understand what was going on, the conflict about responsibility in the family when even relatives were affected by debt, I had seen the conflict which led to my dad and mom arguing and they fought in front of my eyes. Actually, those are not happy memories, but it's okay, it's also a part of life that I also need to know, it's just that it seems a little different to some people, I'm aware of what happens in real life as a lesson for us to see how to treat ourselves and those around us. As I become more mature, I realize that I don't want to blame everything in life or anyone else, but just blame myself for doing something wrong because I'm not good enough to change things more positively, but life is true. There are things that happen that we are forced to accept, and it doesn't always happen according to social stereotypes.

Yes, it could happen in the household because a gambling addict can commit domestic violence. After all, he wants to ask a family member for money. He might hit the family member if he was not given money to gamble. Maybe there has been domestic violence where the husband asks the wife for money but the wife does not give the money.

The money that will be used for daily needs will be used for gambling by gambling addicts. This will result in the family being unable to meet their daily needs. There will be more domestic violence that can occur when gambling addicts become more aggressive in asking for money. And maybe not only domestic violence but also committing crimes such as stealing, robbing and others. It's all to fulfill the desire to have money.

But such cases probably won't get much coverage in the media. But when cases like that are revealed to the public, that's when everyone will see how terrible a person's actions are if they have a gambling addiction. He will use any means to get money, including committing crimes.

Of course, gambling addiction will affect anything to anyone and can even affect family relationships, gambling addict will prioritize his gambling activities over family interests.
They can work or do business but use all the profits to continue their gambling desires which are completely out of control, this is very dominant effect and happens very often and even worse bad things can just happen.
A gambling addict steps in without much consideration and they do anything in gambling based only on what they think is right and what they like most.

Just imagine husband who is addicted to gambling does not support or pay attention to his family, which will result in various words or suggestions given by his wife, but he is addicted to gambling and cannot control himself.
From here, emotional feelings will arise because his wife has pressured or forbade him to carry out gambling activities that he enjoys and cannot give up, in the end violence in the household will occur and worse still, separation, divorce will be the final path they have to face.
I sure things like this will happen lot everywhere and be experienced by gambling addicts who are really crazy about the intensity of excessive gambling, no family will be harmonious if husband experiences such serious gambling addiction problem.

I think you already answered your question with yourself knowing that it could lead to that. You have heard of bad behaviours that occurred. That’s definitely one of the reasons that could lead to violence. Any kind of violence I think is considered to be a problem and the root cause could be that addiction.

Addicts have a tendency to be desperate to get money and gamble it. That is for sure.

Not lead but I do believe that it will amplify the tendency towards violence, any kind of addiction does that anyway, you've got a bad brain inhibitions for your emotions so you're more prone to outburst of emotions and not thinking logically due to your addiction being your only fixation. For me, it's not that addiction is going to be the cause but when someone's already a violent person from the start, they're likely to go to that point anyway no matter if they're addicted or not, addiction will just expedite that process. But I do believe in the opposite too that it can cause violence to other people that are otherwise nonviolent in nature, anger is an emotion after all and as I've said, that addiction is a good at lowering your inhibitions.

Anything's addiction can be the cause so that a specific person is pushed to do crimes. Remember, a human is vulnerable when it comes to their urge, or, in short, their enemy is their own mind and urge, so yes, and it's common sense, gambling addiction is one of the reasons that there are crimes associated with domestic violence. Is there a case about that? Yes, of course, if you try to search it, you will see a lot of results stating that a man or woman does violence mainly because they are addicted to gambling.

I think this question is common sense. I'm sure you are aware that anything that makes them addicted to something has a negative effect on them, and because of that, they can do anything out of hand as they can develop many negative attitudes or happenings because they can't control themselves, so I think the question is answered.

This case has often been heard about, not only gambling addiction, alcohol addiction, it can also have a bad impact on domestic life because people who are addicted find it difficult to control their thoughts to control their emotions when they lose, and usually when they go home they will vent it out wife or children because of mistakes they have made themselves, especially if the wife is angry with the behavior of her husband who is addicted, the husband will definitely become more emotional when he hears his wife's ramblings, so that domestic violence can occur as a result of the addiction.

Some characters gamblers are unreasonable and easily get irritated when they are losing they tend to pick fights they change their characters like you know a person to be jolly but when involved in gambling they become irritated and annoying they change their behavior from good to worse.

There are a lot of cases, I know a few people in our areas, those addicted to gambling are unreasonable they don't take advice, they think they know better, and they ignore even advice coming from reputable people, they blame their wives and their kids from their bad luck in gambling and this lead to domestic violence, there are more cases in third world countries because of the economy, the head of the families rely on gambling, and if they lose that's the start of quarrels that leads to domestic violence.
You'll find the real character of a person if he is violent if they are drunk and if they are losing in gambling.

The inability of a gambler to take control over his emotions portrays the tendencies of eliciting mental breakdowns which could be resulted to domestic violence exercises, either as a default of frustrations and  transagression for the lost of stakes or with the fact that the gambler has run out of his mental orderliness.

Yes it can lead to that, I mean people get aggressive when there's continuous losses when they gamble and when they end up getting emotional, aggressive and frustrated, they tend to need to find a way to vent out that mixture of emotion so when there's also the combination of the annoyance that they feel when they're at home after their sad gambling sessions and their partners or children because the partner either knows about the addiction and that they're giving that addict a mouthful of words that are in the line of stopping gambling, that it's an addiction and that they need to find a job and we know that those things especially the last one is going to hurt the ego of that addict and the bottled up emotions will finally pop and the one that's going to receive it is going to be that person that they're with or when it's a kid, the mere sight and annoying child voice of that kid can be a trigger too but that's only going to happen when the addict is already an abuser before becoming a gambling addict.

Perfectly said, in addition to what you said I think the answer is yes gambling can lead to domestic violence, there are some person who doesn't have self control over gambling,most of them after losing the whole of their money in a gambling shop more especially those married men when they get home every word that has to comes out from the wife they find it offensive some can even end up hitting their wife on the process all in the name of gamble.

Morever most person after losing a lot of money in gambling they can decide to hang in one of the nearest bar so as to pop some pains,in the process he can decide to drink to an extent of getting drunk,and at this point he can end up messing every thing up causing damage, reason is because he doesn't realized what he is doing,of which he can't get away with it.

So as a Gambler you're suppose to have a limit and also have self control over gambling so that it won't have any effects in your life.

There is a high possibility of domestic violence when a person is under the influence of a severe gambling addiction, because a person is not in their right mind, they are quick to get angry and irritated even for small things. how else if a person experiences a series of defeats, they may hurt others when they are not given what they want.

Possibly, that could be one effect of addiction. Domestic violence doesn't only come from gambling addiction, but for someone who has already been addicted, they might not be able to act normally. Gambling often leads to things like anxiety, depression, and loss of emotional control. If someone isn't careful and doesn't learn to control themselves against these issues, they might end up becoming violent.

A violent addict would commit many unreasonable acts as long as they can satisfy that urge. These bad behaviors could eventually turn such a person into a monster if not controlled. Gambling addiction may lead to unexpected consequences that can harm the person involved and those around them.

Since we are talking about gambling addiction, it is pretty obvious that it might cause any harm whether personally or others as this is one of the consequences of being addicted to gambling. One could become thief, robber, high tempered individual, irresponsible to one's family and any other factors regarding drug addiction that is possible to commit.

Gambling can create addictive behaviors and thus, have the ability to cause domestic violence on the ground that emotional disturbance and financial ruin are almost unavoidable for individuals with compulsive gambling behavior. Financial ruin can create consternation which can manifest in conflict amongst partners. A gambler can easily be frustrated when he loses in gambling and this can affect his relationship with others around him. No one is happy when he loses more than expected and this anger sometimes creates a volatile environment which becomes a roadmap for creating domestic violence. Although cases of domestic violence created by gambling are not readily available since they are not always published but then, the case of John Moneypenny lays credence to the fact that gambling addiction can manifest in domestic violence. He was sentenced to prison for the murder of his wife and this was traced to gambling debts.

I emphasize awareness and resources for at-risk individuals because of my understanding of belief systems and addiction. Gambling can be entertaining and exciting in moderation. Setting limits, stopping, and recognizing odds are key. Promoting responsible gambling requires educating people about the hazards and indicators of addiction and taking them seriously by friends, family, and the community.

I also believe personal experiences and community support may alter and give hope. Stories like Moneypenny's should be cautionary tales and starting points for prevention and recovery discussions. Remember that behind every number is a person with a story, problems, and recovery potential. We can create a safer, more supportive atmosphere for everyone by encouraging a balanced view of gambling that promotes fun while avoiding its downsides.

The gradual growth of emotional meltdown if not attended to would get drastically bad and affect the victim alongside his family. Nobody would get fine staying in same house with an aggressive gambler. However, if they had taken his symptoms seriously in the early stages it could remove the future domestic violence that may occur. That is quite a wrong side of gambling addiction, dealing with violence, and addiction at same time. The victim wouldn't get out of his troubles easily, because talking him down on what he's doing could result to violence. A man with a spouse will answer lots of questions from his wife, if he's acting strange, hence a man who isn't able to control his emotions can abuse the conversation and end it up into a violent encounter. So, indeed, gambling addiction can lead to domestic violence.

Not only domestic violence, there are many things that can be done if someone has lost a lot from gambling, including
1. drinking alcohol and illegal drugs
2. loans
3. theft and robbery
4. commit suicide because of frustration
5. etc
Many of the things above have happened because of irresponsible gamblers. and the result is only financial loss and also a bad impact on himself. So keep gambling within the limits of your abilities and you are ready to lose what you bet.

In as much as most people will link this domestic violence to gambling I still stand to argue that this is not merely a behavior caused by gambling but it could be as a result of the person who is the gambler already have some anger issues in him which he can’t control his anger and when they have lost so much in gambling adding to the fact that they already have this anger issue anything any one do in their house will contribute to the anger and lead to violence, even if it’s not gambling but any form of activity that the person get involved that can affect his mode can lead him to violence so I can’t just linked this to gambling alone but this is base on individual.

Yes... Addiction can sometimes cause domestic violence when folks lose control of themselves.  This happens when addicts rack up loads of debt and can't restrain themselves anymore and  people who fly off the handle and get violent have big mental health problems and no self-control - the addiction's just one part of larger issues.

    Very easy, especially if you don’t seek professional help. Even with professional help, it is a huge struggle for you and your significant other, and also your entire family. The partner who gambles also lies, steals the money from his spouse, from work, family members and friends. They take big bank loans which they can’t repay so easy. They get depressed and neglect their home and entire family. They only think how to get the money for gambling / for feeding their addiction. Nobody else doesn’t exist, only money for gambling and the casino. They don’t have the money to pay their bills, food, doctors, children needs etc., so that burden is placed on the spouse to struggle with it alone.
   After a while when the person has experienced great loss and has been soaked deeply into gambling, there are tendencies that the person can exhibit violent behavior. It is not new that they are lot of emotions attached to gambling, it totally depends on the individual, not everyone can control thier emotions when they lose, for this set of people it is better for them not to gamble at all. Losing bet can make one also lose himself, in a way that he transfers the aggression to their partner, it’s gets to this level if the individual doesn’t seek for professional help. Gambling can overwhelm a person if they allow it, it is not a shame to seek  for help, third party can really come handy to situations like this.

It's very possible, someone whom grownup from the same place as mine end up stealing in the community until he was caught, he claimed he have so much debt he needs to pay back, because the money he used to gamble was meant for something else.

There is another that lost everything and when coming back home some guys started using him to laugh because they knew how addicted he is with gambling, but he got so angry that he stabbed one with a broken bottle and the stabbed guy lost his life.

There is another one that involved siblings, the guy lost all money in gambling and he turned into a beast on his siblings, causing them harm and inflicting his angers on the little kids around him until he went too far using boiling water to hurt one, that was when everyone in the house took matter into their hands.

It's very possible to become addicted to gambling and also losing who you are in the process, that's why it's important to gain knowledge first in everything we plan to do, even the most easiest looking solution may not be really how you viewed it, but looking for extra information can safe you from heart breaks.

I think there are many cases like that that you might miss a lot of news on television or just on social media, you often find news about domestic violence just because a husband is addicted to gambling, besides that gambling addiction often makes a person forget his wife's family and his children, I don't know what the rationale is for a gambler who feels addicted to the point of losing his mind ignoring and neglecting his family just because of his ambition to win a lot at gambling.

I'm sure a man like that sounds like a coward, just doing things that a man shouldn't do by hitting a woman or his wife just because he lost gambling and didn't give money to pay for his gambling. In my country there are lots of cases like this, criminal acts. in the end it is detrimental to themselves, even though gambling addiction can be stopped but unfortunately people prefer to follow their anger and continue to maintain their gambling habit, even though this can be prevented before it is too late, but unfortunately people ignore it when they feel addicted to gambling. only fools would commit such violent acts. My advice as a gambler is that you should not gamble if you feel addicted to gambling.

I know what you've just narrated could lead to domestic violence but couples should also be taking it easy as money shouldn't reasonably call for domestic violence if they are wise or either of them is wise at least. Even if the money meant for another thing is used by one of them for gambling, they make the person be accountable for it and also guard against entrusting your money (in case you give it to the spouse) in the hands of such again. It is as simple as that. What causes issues in homes is not so worth it not to mention letting it lead to domestic violence unless a partner raises the hand against the other, and I do not think that the first one who did that is wise as such cannot control him or herself.

 No matter how the money is being lost to gambling whether it is for the husband or the wive or is even the money of either of them that lost the money by himself or herself, this should be settled amicably, and it will be better if the gambler admits to his or her fault and life goes on. As this might cause it truly, I still believe that the anger for losing the money by the spouse who made it is the root cause of this in most cases. Such might merely be passing aggression and turn what is little to a big deal which might result in domestic violence. This is avoidable if such a person is wise and responsible.

If you get so mad that you want to hit your husband or wife, you definitely need to stop gambling and take some anger management classes. Learning how to control your emotions before you end up divorced and living on the streets. Why are you getting that mad anyways? Just because you lost a bet? Seems crazy IMO.

This can happen not even only by trying to stop them but also when an addict falls to carry out his responsibility as a father at home. I've once seen a gambler who want to gamble with all his salary. What do you think will happen at home with his wife and children if he loses. Someone also gambles with his wife theft contribution. Don't you think this can cause domestic violence if he loses and find it difficult to pay back his wife's money.

Yes, I think that it can show domestic violence because from continuously losing games, the beast in some men may emerge to hurt their spouse. But please note that. On the other hand, this isn’t the case for everyone because some men can lose a lot of games due to their addiction and when they are home with their wife, they just lay down, sad and depressed.

If someone hits their partner, it’s in them already, the gambling just revealed the truth. GAMBLING ADDICTION IS NO EXCUSE FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE.

People with gambling addiction have lapses in their judgment, their minds are clouded all they can think of is making money and how to be in casinos they are alive when they are in casinos, and they do not treat their family as their homes so every time he gets home there's a quarrel that leads to domestic violence.
Based on one report divorce rates for pathological gamblers are approximately 54%. and a large part of this is due to domestic violence that stems from addiction of one partner.

When something isn't going right for some people they will change totally and possibly get angered, I have seen this in few people before, especially now that things are very hard in the country, everyone is now a walking hungry lion you don't want to mess with.

In gambling cases, many people have made the bad choices and that's because they thought gambling is the solution to their problems and yet the same gambling ruined everything for them, but I believe that those who result into violence have weak mind.

I have not once but twice lost everything, with nothing left to start with, but I stand for myself and slowly grow up, when you lose it will hurt but it is a step closer to your victory, take loses as a lesson.

In my opinion, this can indeed trigger domestic violence, because someone who is addicted to gambling will of course have an attitude disorder, or a change in attitude and behavior to become a more stubborn person and perhaps this can also make them easily emotional. for example, when they have a good household before the perpetrator is addicted to gambling, but after one of them is addicted to gambling then everything can change, the main perpetrator who is addicted to gambling will of course prioritize his gambling over other things like those in another thread about a father who is more concerned with his gambling than his young son. and if they are addicted they will prioritize their gambling indirectly this will affect their finances because we know that gambling is not always profitable but always detrimental but if they are addicted they will not be able to leave it, well their finances will of course be a mess. also with the main perpetrator, if he has run out of money to gamble, he could borrow or ask his partner, whereas I don't think his partner will approve of this activity, but with the main perpetrator who is addicted and has a more stubborn personal attitude. of course he will force it and here domestic violence can occur.

This has happened in my neighborhood, there is a neighbor like this where the husband is always angry with his wife because of trivial things, and always insists on asking his wife for money to gamble.

I think that gambling addiction can lead to domestic violence based on the type of person the gambler is,if he is an aggressive type of person by nature chances are high that his aggressiveness will lead to further such type and become violence with the passing of time if the gambler loses in continuity and cannot support such happening.There are even worse situations when the gambler is a sore loser and does not accept loss which may further aggravate the situation in big domestic violence.This is different if the gambler is a good quiet person by nature,this thing even if he gets addicted will not happen and I talk by my personal situation here,no matter when I have lost big because of addiction that has never led me to even raise my voice let alone domestic violence,so overall it depends on the gambler's personality.

I would agree that any form of addiction can lead to violence. I have a friend who ended up stealing funds just to satisfy his gambling addiction which obviously ended up with him being inside the jail. If an addict can't satisfy his needs most become violent and aggressive out of frustration. That's why we must take everything into moderation, anything that is too much is not good. Gambling is meant to be a form of entertainment not a means to destroy us as a person.

Gambling can be responsible for causing domestic violence, especially when a gambler puts pressure on his family to manage gambling money, which is a form of domestic violence. Moreover, stress on dowry due to gambling and abuse of women is one of the main examples of domestic violence which is seen to occur regularly due to gambling. I have seen horrific scenes of violence against women in my area due to gambling earlier where wife is abused to manage gambling money which is one of the examples of domestic violence. Rural areas have the highest incidence of domestic violence in offline gambling and family violence reflects heavily on the children of the family.

Addicted gamblers are just desperate to make money, and when they are losing constantly, they get annoyed, and any slight misunderstanding that they have with people, they will end up losing their temper. I have visited many physical gambling shops, and I noticed that people do end up fighting easily, and most of those people are just addicted gamblers. When some addicted gamblers lose a lot of money, when they get home, they do end up transferring their aggression to their wives and children. After some losses, they will end up getting themselves drunk just to forget about the amount they lost.

For me, it still depends on the attitude of the person. Of course, we've already seen or heard stories of some gambling addicts getting violent just to get money for them to gamble. It's not uncommon but at the same time, not common to all gambling addicts. I think regardless of how addicted you are in gambling, if a person has this tendencies of being violent, he can beat someone for gambling. But there are people who doesn't have that kind of characteristics even if they're addicted to gambling. They will just find ways to get money, like borrowing or make themselves look pity to other people, but not through violence.

Even if there's no sign of addiction, you can notice small actions of a person, whether he has a tendencies of being violent or not. And their addiction just triggers them to become more violent.

As far as I know, addiction is based on a person's condition which falls into the category of loss of control, meaning: the impact that occurs in a condition of addiction is one of them not having control over the activities he is doing, for example being addicted to gambling.

In general, I have seen that those who are heavily addicted to gambling have high levels of stress or can lead to very high levels of depression, this will make them irritable and also angry, situations like that don't only happen in households, friends, neighbors are also targets of those who are addicted, this is a fact that has happened and that I have seen.

In other cases that I have found and seen, most of those who are addicted to household gambling end up in divorce and beatings, quite a few of them are dealing with the authorities for the actions they have committed.

There are many cases of domestic violence when people become addicted to gambling, there are even more extreme cases of violence such as murder, robbery, terror and even suicide due to gambling addiction. So don't think of gambling addiction as something trivial.

Therefore, many times, even often, all of us here are always reminded that if you gamble, you must have good control so you can gamble responsibly. because the dangers of this addiction are very real for your personal life and the people around you. So don't think of addiction as something normal, sometimes we think this is easy to control, even though if we don't often listen to advice we could fall into addiction.

I agree with your submission. Whether a gambler exhibits domestic violence or not, is predicated on the fact that individuals are different and so behave differently. Naturally, some gamblers have anger issues and the anger can easily be triggered if such a gambler is addicted because there will always be a transfer of aggression whenever he loses. No doubt, GAMBLING ADDICTION IS NO EXCUSE FOR DOMESTIC VIOLENCE as you have noted, but then, we shouldn`t pay deaf ears to the fact that some addicted gamblers have depicted characters which show domestic violence. Hence, it is my opinion that gambling addiction can trigger domestic violence.

Domestic violence due to gambling seems to be common in the environment I live in, some gambling addicts are even determined to carry out criminal acts such as stealing, robbing and many other criminal acts, even in more serious situations they resort to selling illegal drugs to get instant money for capital. they gamble

Those people shouldn't get married in the first place if they can't control themselves, men must avoid to hurt their spouses except their spouses cheat or did something that will ruin the relationship.

Women should need to test their partners before they get married, let them to play DOTA 2 and gambling, they will show their true face when they're lose.

Don't really drag gambling like a bad actor, gambling can give financial benefits to government, organization, and charity too.

However, gambling addiction must be distinguished from gambling. Carefully practicing the former is entertainment. Addiction, the inability to stop despite negative consequences, drives dangerous behavior. The "gamble responsibly" appeals at casinos aren't simply for show; they acknowledge gambling's risks when done improperly

There have been many incidents of gambling addiction with domestic violence. The addict's financial stress, remorse, and psychological pain from continual loss cause aggressiveness. A violent home where frustration is taken out on loved ones can result

Healthy gambling involves early addiction detection and treatment. Setting limits, stopping when you can, and remembering that gambling should never threaten your relationships or finances are key

Surely you also know how interesting fighting and domestic violence are. But saying that if you gamble, you automatically beat your wife and children, it's unfair for you to have a little passion, right? Just like being addicted to football, you jump up and down to eat, but you don't rush to the referee's neck.

That doesn't mean ignoring the connection between these two things. It is true that gambling can create more stress in life, running out of money, and erratic moods. Stress, lack of money, irritability - if these three things are put on top, it can easily lead to bad things.

But fixing all errors for gambling is also wrong. Family conflicts come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from illness, poisoning, to stories of good wind and sweet morning soup. Considering gambling as the only evil is unjust, fight against the club that guides the real problems that need to be solved.

Instead of taking pictures, look at the problem more broadly. Gambling may be a factor but is only one part of the confusing picture. If you want to destroy domestic violence, you must understand its roots, from psychology, economics, to the living environment.

They are differences in people, same in addicted gamblers. The way it happens to a gambler could differ from another. Depending on the player's environment and the type of people surrounding him. A gambler who shows some violent symptoms is not yet ready to change or stop gambling. Those who don't are more remorse over their new habit and seeks help. Such gamblers seek the help of their spouse to help them out of the trouble. So, one shouldn't use the fact he's addicted to cover for his being domestically uncaring. It's a coincident that some gamblers had such problems even before gambling. The double trouble can emerge due to constant losses from the gambler's end. Then he gets sad and paranoid any time he remembers his losses in gambling. Which makes him shout over any little conversation that doesn't sound clean to his ear.

Yes that's right, if you are one of the gamblers who is quite active or even feel that you can't miss a moment not to gamble then it would be good for you to realize that if you get married in a situation and condition of yourself who is still gambling then it's better to try to stop gambling activities, you should be able to think that gambling is very likely to be the root of various problems that will occur in family relationships when you are married, not infrequently we see those who fail in their households, in the sense of weak strength in the economy which is the main problem and gambling activities will very likely be the root of problems like this or other problems such as violence that occurs because  you cannot control yourself when the situation loses.

Basically prevention is always the best thing before regret comes, and as you said that the opposite sex can experiment to test their partner by seeing how they react when they lose, but unfortunately not all couples can be open to each other, especially for gambling activities which basically have a negative viewpoint in the eyes of society. I wouldn't say that  gambling is always a bad actor, but most people always come with the wrong perspective and understanding that creates an ill-advised approach  to gambling that ultimately creates a lot of problems.

I sometimes see in the news when they write about some kind of crime related to gambling, theft, fights, etc. But I haven’t seen anything about domestic violence yet, of course I don’t deny that it exists and definitely it should be punishable and it is important that there are specialists who helped people get out of this so that it wouldn’t happen again in the future, in my country gambling is not very popular so this is not a problem that they talk about among themselves, rather it is more often an exception.

Whether you are addicted to gambling or not, there is nothing cool about losing of money generally for everyone but I think as a gambling person, you should accept the faith of your wager even before you click "bet" on the money you deposited into a casino because you are not sure of what will come if you gamble the money. So I think vexing on people because you lost money to gambling is childish and unprofessional because nobody sent you in the first place and you know the risk involved, you should be even ashame for trying to fight other people because you lost money.

This pattern of gambling behavior is not about only domestic violence, I have seen a nigga vexing on another close nigga because he lost money on some games, not once not twice but the worst of it is domestic violence on your partner, that look silly and if the man is from a high profile countries where laws are protected, he will be arrested and thrown in the prison for hitting his partner. He will do be better in prison than beating his partner that has nothing to do with his losses.

Every addiction can lead to domestic violence if the people involved are violent by nature. That's a very simple explanation, but 100% true because of its simplicity.
Just think about it for a second. When two people aren't violent at all and they're put to the test, for example one of them loses money belonging to the family, or becomes unfaithful, they won't get physical about it. On the other hand if they are violent by nature, a simple thing like one person being late can lead to a physical altercation.
I'm really surprised by the amount of bad situations people associate with gambling, when they normally occur in relationships where there are no gambling problems.

not sure whether you already know or not, but a few months ago there was a thread discussing a grandfather who beat his grandson and this news was linked to gambling addiction.
from this thread you can already have an idea of what gambling addiction really is like because if a gambler is truly addicted to gambling they not only cannot be a responsible gambler but also cannot control their emotions wherever they are, they become more aggressive and addiction is one proof that he can't control himself so there are always reports of a gambling addict abusing his family or killing his own family just because he lost from gambling or whatever is related to gambling.

from most similar cases I have never had the thought that gambling is a serious problem or even blamed gambling because for me gambling is just a business or place of entertainment and all entertainment places definitely have a risk impact if you cannot control yourself and are used excessively such as you come to a nightclub where the entertainment is you spend your night drinking large amounts of alcohol and you are not aware that you have to be taken to hospital and at that time you cannot blame the club owner or blame the alcohol because of your own decision to go to the nightclub and you should can control one's own responsibilities to keep oneself from overdoing it.

back to the main point, cases like this actually happen often and you can search on the search engine for keywords: abuse carried out by gambling addicts.

Addiction they say is one of the harmful characteristics to adapt as gambler, the moment you turn to an addict, there's definitely no atom of peace for us. Our problems doesn't stop one spot, we have different series to encounter our problems, we just have to become more confident when dealing with the market because we might not like the outcome our activities in the system. Gambling is regarded to be one of the misleading activities in the world today but we still have youths that embraced it without second thought, they see it as revival and they always aimed for more promising results from the system.

No  from  my  own point  of view because  personality  differs  from person to person, individual have  their  different  behavioural patterns, so what  might  be  important  to someone might  not be important  to the  other.

So gambler don't  like there  family  to know  they gamble, so gambling  addiction  doesn't  lead to demostic  violence  in every  cases and every  gambler  knows gambling  is not a positive  hustle  in the eyes  of the society.  People  see gamblers as jobless  people  so my point  is that  gambling is not really  the means  to demostic violence.

Yes for sure, especially for those with short patience. I have witnessed different types of addictions in our area, there are alcohol addicts, drug addicts and others who are addicted to gambling, even if they are addicted to different things, the same thing happens, they often fight, they hurt their wives or their partners once that they are no longer in the right frame of mind, breaking things while fighting and even their children feel sorry for them.

There are many people like that in our country, not only in our area, so it's really unfortunate to have a partner like this. Your life will quickly be destroyed if you have this kind of partner.

That is why every woman avoids potential partners who have a history of gambling or actively gamble, because they are afraid that physical violence will occur after their partner experiences high losses due to gambling. I have seen myself a gambler who shouted at his wife and her husband committed some physical violence in the household, so it is very unfortunate that the actions of an addicted gambler can damage relationships and hit the people he loves most just because of the impact of gambling addiction.

However, avoid any bad effects of gambling addiction and rather quit gambling if gambling is ruining the lives of you and your partner.

Any form or sort of addiction can become a trigger to someone being aggressive, gambling is no exception to that. It may be less apparent compared to say, addiction to drinking or alcohol but it still happens sometimes, especially in cases where said addict showcases ideas of asking money for their loved ones and in this case, their spouse. It wouldn't be weird to find a family like this where said spouse is the only person who works and provides the family the money they need and the other is to simply speak, a leech in the household. A very big one at that.

And maybe in some cases, the opposite party beats the gambler up to wake him up and stop his addiction. I don't know if you'd consider that domestic violence but, well, it is violence for the most part.

Well, this is me personally speaking from ideas that I think that can happen. I personally haven't seen that many domestic violence cases and even if I did, I cared not for the reason why since I don't look them up specifically.

When someone experiences defeat, those who are easily angered cannot control their emotions, so they may commit violence against their partner, especially if someone loses badly and comes home disappointed and angry, his wife will definitely be the target of his anger, not all men have such characteristics. There are also men who are addicted but can still restrain themselves from committing violence. They only experience disappointment and sadness, but usually people like this hide their activities from their wives because they are worried that their wives will be angry if they find out that they are addicted and suffer continuous losses.

Yes, it is true that such a harsh nature already exists within him, it's just that he doesn't show the truth and when he experiences an addiction it can bring back his harsh nature from the start so that domestic violence can occur and gambling addiction is the main factor to blame in this case. However, this depends on the person's true nature.

Addiction to gambling can trigger domestic violence. Gambling addiction can generate stress, financial difficulties, and mental turmoil, leading to aggressiveness. Gambling losses or frustration can cause family conflicts and violence. Gambling addiction is unsafe, so get help. Support networks and responsible gambling prevent family harm. Gamblers should seek professional help.

I've seen how defeat can grow into a storm, with fury and frustration hitting loved ones like lightning. Despite their addiction, I know men who sink in silence rather than let their frustrations out.

Addiction, especially gambling, checks our character. It's like peeling back layers to expose secrets. I think gambling may be fun in moderation, but excess and loss of control bring out our darker sides. Instead of blaming the game, understand the player.

So, how do we balance this thin line? Can we enjoy gambling without letting it affect our lives and relationships? Yes, self-awareness. Understand our limits, risks, and most importantly, when to step back. A balance between thrill and discipline, the game should never outweigh our love for others. Avoid forgetting that.

There have been cases of even worse situations where addicted gamblers do even worse aggressive acts just because they need to satisfy their gambling addiction but then it's not a justification for their act because the harm some of them cause due to their aggressiveness isn't excusable by the reason of them been addicted to their gambling habit.

Just like various casinos will place such disclaimers that you should gamble responsibly you should understand that the problem isn't with gambling but with staying responsible because even the casinos are very much aware of how addictive it could be, they know that gambling over a period of time could get addictive so they warn against irresponsible gambling because not only will the gambler get addicted but the addiction could further breed some other habits which could be detrimental to the gambler and sometimes people around them.

It's a family rule that any woman who has at some point seen or experienced another person maltreated by a gambler, will most likely avoid any type of gambler. Responsive or compulsive. It's the main trouble the responsive gambler go through in relationships. The wife will hardly stay comfortable being with a gambler, regardless of his habits being good and coordinated. So, the compulsive gambler also has made things harder for responsible gamblers. That means every gambler would face some domestic violence, especially when the wife is not in support of gambling activities. Such people under such rules can't jeopardize it; the behavior is that way. However, good, detailed communication solves lots of troubles. If the responsive gambler is smart enough to make his wife understand he's not like an addicted gambler, they'll be peace in the family.

I doubt that it is physical abuse or harm that those women are avoiding but the risk of addiction and gambling that much or simply mismanagement of money. But that's indeed true, domestic violence could originate to almost anything but most of the time to things wherein money is involved. Money is just a powerful drive that can yield to harm depending on people who holds it. And since we are talking about addiction in this case, the chances of gambling becoming a factor for occurrence of domestic violence is high. But this should not be directly to gambling but to the gambler. We are still different in the first place especially with personality. Some are just too invested of the possibility of being rich instantly.

Given that chances are there even with indirect relationship between the two variables, we should all be conscious of our actions. Never be eaten by the possibility of winning the jackpot 'coz there's no assurance in the first plaace; if it is for you then it will come to you. There's no need to push your luck that much. Assuming that instances of violence is for the purpose of being able to bet, that won't change the fact that you won't, if you are really unlucky that time, therefore there's no point of doing so.

I agree with you. The game doesn`t change us. It can only trigger us to show our true character. No two humans act alike not even twins. This simply tells us that not all addicts can show signs of violence at home and so there is no justification for an addict to exhibit domestic violence.

Gambling apart, any person who is capable of letting his anger and emotions lead him into violence shouldn`t blame it on gambling addiction because if such a person is exposed to drugs and alcohol he will still exhibit the same signs.

Let it be known to us that gambling has no evil in it. It is people who have wrong intentions in gambling and who have lost control of the game that makes it appear as though gambling is bad but it is not bad. It has created pleasure and excitement for many.

I agree that it could have a beneficial effect on their relationship and solve any issues if a responsible gambler is able to properly speak with his wife and reassure her that he is not an addict. It should not be an issue at all, in my opinion, if men tell their wives about their gambling habits, set limitations, and talk about the steps they take to ensure responsible behavior. Of course, open communication and clear boundaries can help partners achieve a positive outcome in their relationship and prevent chaos in the home. As with any successful relationship, transparency and understanding are essential components.
It truly is up to the couple to manage their situations and speak with one another. In my opinion, the gambler also has an obligation to protect his family and not jeopardize them. However, I believe that some compulsive gamblers are sick individuals who only care about themselves and may even be planning to harm their partner; in such cases, they ought to be put in jail.

Yes  of course, most gamblers restort  to violence due to frustration of their constant losing, and most times they tend to transfer the aggression to their wife at home, which can lead to him beating her up,
Another thing is that he may demand for some money from his wife when he has exhausted the fund he had with him just to keep funding his gambling harbit, and if she refused, he might decide to restort to violence just to get the money from her. So their are so many senario that can make a gambler engaged in domestic violence.

A  person can do many things that a normal minded person can never do. Especially when a gambling addict becomes penniless, he starts behaving abnormally and on that occasion his family gets into a lot of trouble. Moreover, that person must be able to mutilate his body, it must be natural for him. But there is always a risk for an addict user because he never cares but does all kinds of things that are never normal and totally abnormal and those things can always cause harm to a family.

Domestic violence is complicated, therefore blaming gambling addiction is oversimplified. The problem is emotional instability and a lack of coping skills, not only addiction. Someone might lose it after a terrible wager, but it's because they lack self-control, not because the cards were set against them

Supporting healthy gambling is knowing limits and when to stop. Responsibility (to oneself and others) is involved. Addiction can reveal darker sides, but to blame domestic violence on it ignores human psychology. Self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and the ability to accept defeat without wrath are discussed

Remember that not all gamblers sink into despair. People can wager, win or lose, and go on. Inability to handle loss and resistance to get treatment when rage is more than a passing sensation are the enemy, not gambling

Taking out anger on anyone due to gambling losses is the impact of irresponsible gambling. This is experienced by some gamblers in various countries, but of course not all gamblers have the same behavior. There are many cases where gamblers become more violent than usual when they have become seriously addicted, some gamblers even have terrible plans such as robbery and others just to get money.

The point is, the bad impacts of gambling will only be felt by irresponsible gamblers. They need to get advice and even appropriate treatment so that the impact of their addiction can be reduced or even cured, but this requires a long process. So that's why gamblers are expected to be responsible gamblers, that advice clearly has some truth to it.

Gambling addiction might be only one element inside a domestic violence situation. It can never be pointed as the primary cause. As you said, the cause is emotional instability, which has violence and gambling addiction as consequences. Addiction can potentialize an aggressive behavior, but it's important to notice this aggressive nature was already there, even before the addiction was developed, what can be identified along the life of the person, since childhood. A violent individual shouldn't avoid only gambling, but every other actvities which may lead him to addictive behaviors as well, besides seeking for treatment to improve his coping skills towards life's adversities.

Yeah, but people want to hide the habit from their wife, because they don't seem to know her next reaction. Hence sticking the truth into the ground and cover it up, seems like what would solve the problem. On the long run, if the player begins to develop some symptoms of addictions, he won't have the need to ask his spouse for help, since it's been a secret from the onset. A person who doesn't know the cause of a problem will find it difficult to solve. As gamblers, opening up to our spouses is the right step to follow. So, that when things begin to change, our partner would be the first to notice. Hence, minimizing the risk of the problem. The fault sometimes goes to the gambler, as the cause of the trouble. However, if he shared the trouble with close friends, he wouldn't be blamed so much. But people think the other way round, that when they open up that people won't be able to save them. On the contrary, sharing the problem, brings some negative responses, but for sure they would be a change in the situation of the problem. Two heads are better than one in problem gambling.

I mean... It is a very general and wide debate or discussion to have on this topic. There is even some people who could have the perception that people who fall into gambling addiction do so because the experienced some trauma or psychological problem way before getting into gambling. That is gambling addiction not being the root of the problem but rather a consequence of them, problems which were never disclosed or talked to anyone in their family or friends and once the adulthood is reached, they find a new way to manifest, in the form of gambling addiction and domestic violence.
The only reason some people or the most of people would blame domestic violence on drugs or gambling addiction, it would be because it is easier to do so than getting the psychological help that person requires. Sadly. It is simpler to say someone is violent because of losses while gambling and paying some psychologist or psyquiatrist who would diagnose the patient with long life depression or bipolar disorder.

I would like to think that is not the case or the history of many people around the world, but sadly, it would be wishful thinking of my part, even in developed countries, nowadays mental problems go undiagnosed...

Such people end up losing everything due to their abusive behavior. I have heard many stories where an addicted gambler sold his wife's jewelry and lost it and when his wife asked about the jewelry, the person started to beat her. I have heard that one of my friends regularly buys items like jewelry, mobile phones, and other expensive thing from gamblers at a very cheap price.

I know it's unethical, but the thing is, those gamblers would still sell those things to other people If my friend did not buy those things from them. So, he ended up buying such things and I cannot imagine what is going on in their family. Sometimes these people end up becoming drug addicts as well.

Addiction can make anyone become the worst version of themselves. Nobody who is safe from that because we are all only human. I have never personally met a gambling addict who was accused of domestic violence, so I cannot really say anything from experience. I can only tell you from experience is that any kind of addiction can turn a good person into a complete degenerate. Obviously aggression would be unsurprisingly a possible symptom of that addiction.

But many people that I know are making the effort to curb or lessen the risks of becoming addicted or relapsing back into addiction.

So avoiding addiction is possible.

Yes, it's quite frequent in our society that people resort to addictive behaviors in order to avoid traumas from the past, mainly when feeling bad about themselves. That is what we could call "Escapism". Through escapism, people escape from their "selfs", that is, from their awareness conscious state, into a more physical state limited to bodily's sensations, silenting their minds (the aversive conscious state of mind) while the effects of the addictive activity are active on their bodies, causing anxiety, adrenaline, but also that excitement and thrill people like to feel.

That is how they forget who they are momentarily. And they feel like they need doing this, because those traumas are part of who they are, so they want to avoid it at all costs. However, that is not how they should deal with the issue. As you said, they manifest there is a mental suffering through gambling, although they should talk to family, friends and therapists about the problem in order to find a definitive and concrete solution for the traumas, instead of escaping from it forever, through disfunctional behaviors.

Mental health is one of the hottest and most important topics of our time. I believe step by step people are putting their preconceptions aside and accepting the fact it's healthy and positive for everyone to take some sessions with a psychologist who will help them to understand themselves better and resolve problems from the past which are buried deep inside, but generating negative side effects on their daily lives, such as addictions.

Actually, everyone is a little bit crazy in some aspects of their existences, so there shouldn't be any preconceptions by attending to a professional to try improving those aspects, or at least acquiring more self-knowledge. It's always good to have someone to talk about what you think, feel and wish, especially for lonely people who are only exposed to trolls and low-life individuals on the internet.

Of course, this is very possible, especially if the person has lost a lot of money gambling. When a person no longer has money, he can do anything to get money and because his family is the closest person to him, he can resort to domestic violence to vent his losses or ask his wife and children for money. Maybe this will happen to gambling addicts who are acute and cannot think logically about the actions they take because they are too stressed about their losses and debts.

I once heard a story from a friend of mine that his neighbor often scolds his wife if he loses at gambling. This person becomes temperamental and gets angry easily if he loses at gambling.

I do think we should have focus more on the individual and less on the activity. People tend to misbehave impulsively and then blame it on some other person or an activity for making them do whatever they did. There’s no personal responsibility for actions taken anymore.
If someone who unfortunately becomes a gambling addict, and after series of losses at the casino, goes home and roughs up his spouse, I would squarely blame the man having little to no consideration on the fact that he’s a gambling addict. I think such people would be violent to their spouses even if they don’t gamble.

Indeed, this happens a lot around us, when someone is in a state of uncontrollability, they can commit violence against the people closest to them because defeat is very painful for everyone who feels it and it depends on us who respond to this defeat, for some people they can hold back their emotions when When they lose, they can only feel their own sadness without having to take it out on other people and people like this usually understand that taking out anger on someone will not returned the losses we have experienced.

It is true that gambling can reveal a person's true character if they are no longer under control, therefore when we are gambling, never exceed the limit so that we will not experience things that are out of control, gambling in a reasonable amount will not be a problem.

I agree with you that self-awareness is very important for those of us who gamble because with self-awareness we can control our thoughts and gamble responsibly. And don't get too involved in the pleasure of gambling which results in forgetting our love for the people we care about.

It's not really because of gambling that why a person's behavior is like that, gambling is one of the reasons for triggering a person's behavior to become more angry and annoyed with their every move and action. If a person has an anger issue and it is accompanied by a series of misfortunes in gaming, they can really dump their feelings on the person they are with most of the time. Other people often blame all the ugly events because they know that a person is addicted to gambling, but they don't think that maybe his habit is really inborn.

It's about money. People who have no money often react in a manner that they sometimes pick a fight. It has been observed on many occasions where a man not able to buy what he wants is impatient and irritable.

But yes they could be blaming their misfortune on their wives and thus violence at home. This kind of violence mostly happens in poor families.  It's not just about the addicted gambler's life but to all men.

I think yes. When someone's hooked on gambling, it can mess with their relationships. The stress and money troubles can crank up tension, sometimes leading to aggressive behavior or even domestic violence. Getting help for the gambling issue is important but addressing the impact on relationships is just as important too

This could happen because when someone is addicted to gambling and only thinks about gambling, he will not want to think about other things that have nothing to do with gambling. He will forget about his life and even his household and not give money to his family, which can have a bad influence on his family. Those in the family will notice a big change in the gambling addict and try to talk about it but it can trigger arguments between them. And that will create violence in the household that cannot be resolved easily and if no one can help, the family will fall apart and be difficult to put back together.

There are many known cases, some of this cases has been showed on the internet for public viewing to warn against the dangers of gambling. When you gamble and become addicted, so many things will change about you and for some individuals there real behaviours will be exposed. Gambling addiction leads to domestic violence. Some day the gambler irregardless of it being the wife or husband, will come back angry from gambling and the spouse in the house will be the one to receive the aggression.

When you gamble away avoid using the money you could have use to provide for the family or do something that'll be important to the children's, you will be angry with yourself but won't be willing to take the blame. Gambling addiction leads to many other bad behaviour therefore to prevent those other behaviours from getting exposed, it's better we avoid getting addicted when gambling and gamble responsibly.

It’s over, because gambling games shake the psyche, doing it from side to side every time, either winning or losing. If the numbers on the screen change very quickly, then the person will become very nervous, he will not be able to sleep peacefully at night, much less express his anger and concern to his relatives, friends and even his wife. This will be the first signal that a person is developing an addiction and puts games above human relationships. After this, measures must be taken to limit the game for this player, otherwise his addiction may worsen and he will become violent. Of course, if this is the first time and he cools down after this, he will ask for forgiveness. But this should under no circumstances be done; you need to run away from such a person, because no one will help him if he himself does not undergo compulsory treatment.

Lolz,
If gambling addiction can make a person become violent to him or herself, to the extent that, he or she may even commit suicide, then what makes you think that addiction to gambling can or does not lead to domestic violence? What exactly is domestic violence compared to one Killing him or herself?

Gambling addiction can lead to anything bad, which the worst of it all is suicide, killing oneself, if we search around, we did find thousands of stories of people who have beaten their wives (because addiction to gambling is mostly with men, we hardly see a woman who is addicted to gambling) to pop, and in some cases, death, simply because the woman possibly tried to confront the man on the rate to which he is wasting the family's money on gambling.

A friend I had around 2015/2016 had beaten his wife on one or two occasions because the wife took money he was to use to gamble, and hid it somewhere else he could not find it, on asking the wife to bring out the money, the wife refused, and he pounced on her like a hungry lion would pounce on his prey.

So, incident like this are very common in many places, we don't have to look to far to find it.

It all depends on the condition and if the person that is a gambler has serious temperament that could also lead to aggressiveness. On norms, this is not supposed to lead to any domestic violence but we need to understand some of the things that could trigger domestic violence which is always due to disagreement. It is good when we are soft and take things less seriously because this is the only way we could protect ourselves from anger that could lead to physical domestic violence. People who had been victims of this could tell us how it happens and how it can be prevented by all means.

The majority of gamblers have anger problems because they lose so often; anger becomes a natural feeling for them when triggered, They are quick to anger, and if they cannot bring something to their homes, it will trigger domestic violence. No wives will accept those who cannot bring food to the table. Many divorces and separations are due to domestic violence caused by gambling addiction.

We also have to look at it this way. Chronic addiction causes a form of mental disorder which can generate over time into an anxiety disorder, social isolation and even depression if the addiction has made him suffer lots of damages. It messes with the brain so much that the victim begins to act against his will because he is no longer in  control. Someone going through this will easily get provoked and very very defensive.  It will even become worse if he doesn't have an understanding partner by his side. When a person's gambling habit begins to affect other people negatively,  then it becomes a thing of great concern before things go extremely bad (because at this point, it has gone out of hand already).

When we see gamblers who become aggressive, it is not adviceable to fight with them because people like this obviously need help ,therefore we must assist in giving them the help they need.

Yes, gambling addiction can make someone aggressive and cause them to commit violence in their household. And that's what we have to avoid so that we don't become addicted to gambling while we gamble. There is a risk that committing violence can disrupt the household, and there are other impacts that he and other family members must experience so that someone who has gambled too often must really be able to prevent himself from becoming addicted to gambling. We must really try to control ourselves so that we don't become addicted to gambling by limiting our gambling so that we only gamble in our free time.

So far, we've covered almost the same thread as the one you posted. but it doesn't matter, maybe with this we can discuss again and share experiences and knowledge, especially about insight. referring to your question, I will quote it. "Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence?", of course it can and has the potential. where a gambler will carry out actions beyond normal human rationality as a result of his addiction. It's just that, in real life, anything can be a trigger that causes domestic violence to occur. it doesn't need to just be gambling addicts, there are many other examples including other addictions. the problem is, how can something like this not happen, be repeated or become a reminder for us. That's my explanation for the title above.

To be honest, I am very interested in what you said regarding the point that addiction can be a thorn in the flesh, we often use these figurative words for things that are not good.  however, as I said above. In fact, everyone has different problems in their homes. It doesn't need to just be about addiction, economic problems are usually the main obstacle. gambling and others, could be the variables that cause it. So in essence, the violence that occurs depends on the psychology of each individual and includes the problems they are facing. The point is, we can't simplify things in a case just because he is an addict. It's true, what you say can be the trigger. However, there is something at the real root. If you want to have an in-depth discussion, you can go to experts who are related to violence experienced in the household.

Once money is involved indeed, other things might be paused including the sanity of the person. For this, of course, domestic violence can happen when gambling has caused a substantial amount of money to be lost. But when it causes money to be gained, the opposite will happen. I knowingly mentioned that as I see it as a very good contrasting situation so that the people with their senses will know how to behave even in the opposite situations. Money is good but money is not everything and I know that those who would because of money be beating their wife or husbands are fools, they only allowed money to control them. But this one thing has always some ringing in my head whenever I visit this thread if that person knows that this money is vital and is meant for a good course, and perhaps knows that it can either trigger mental issues with him/her or the spouse at home who is not privy to the whole scenario, then why did the person still gamble with such money?

People might want to justify this as emotion is in play, but I see it as stupidity in play. What is bad doesn't have a different name you can call it then it than being bad. Gamble with the only maount of money you can afford to lose. Is that not simple enough for those who are responsible and are still with their senses? You then face the brunt if your folly had pushed you to that extent. Only that I strongly disapprove of domestic violence, there are other approaches to solving a thing like this if the spouse gets angered by that, or how the post can calm him/herself if it is self-money that was wasted which triggered aggression.

But really, this is shameful.

Indeed, yes, I think someone who is addicted to gambling will certainly experience changes in their emotions and behavior, where someone who is addicted to gambling tends to be more stubborn. and this proves that psychology can be damaged, it is possible that those who are addicted to gambling can act violently after they run out of money, they can do unusual things such as rude actions by asking their partner for money if they are married, whereas in a relationship of course you need money to survive and if one party spends his money just by gambling, it is likely that the other party will not agree with what he is doing.

I'm sure they will be people who tend to get emotional easily, especially if someone disputes their actions, I think this could lead to violence. That's true, but I think it's difficult to overcome it. In my opinion, it is rare for people to recover from their addiction, because this is a big problem and if they have become addicted, in my opinion it will be difficult to recover from their addiction.

When a gambler becomes addicted to gambling, there is a possibility of the gambler losing money almost all the time. that would lead them to become aggressive to people around them because of money being lost on gambling.

For the fact, that a human being loses money they didn't bargain for regularly, there is a possibility you will find them to be aggressive to people close to them, which can lead them to be exhibiting domestic violence.

I don't think gamblers are the only ones being aggressive to people. We can find drunker, people who live a frustrating life of not having money or a job.

Seing someone who is a gambling addict already talk something about himself that he's unable to exercise a morale discipline from how he lives his life to the extent of being affected through the way he gambles,so there will be nothing much to doubt if someone like this exis and is found with such behavior, anybody who experience self indiscipline cannot be predictable for any reason on how far he can go with other things.

All the things you’ve listed, I don’t think that any of them is a characteristic of even the average gambler. These attributes and behavior are from people who are already criminals and then they tried gambling but maybe it isn’t working as they want so they continue stealing, etc. Selling of illegal drugs and all of that, etc can never be as a result of being a gambler. This is just who they are.

Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence? The simple answer is yes and you might know the case that someone might hurt someone else and the cause is gambling addiction. There is also a study about it.

"Research demonstrates a consistent, significant relationship between problem gambling and IPV. In a review of 14 studies, 36.5% of people experiencing problem gambling acknowledged perpetrating physical IPV, while 38.1% had been subjected to physical IPV" - https://bmcwomenshealth.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s12905-023-02316-0

"Research suggests that gambling related violence does occur, and often manifests in domestic violence incidents, as gamblers may take out their anger over gambling losses on their partners1. Furthermore, experiencing traumatic events has been found to be related to problem gambling." - https://dbhdd.georgia.gov/sites/dbhdd.georgia.gov/files/imported/DBHDD/AD/Gambling/trauma_09_11.pdf

Addiction (not only gambling) may lead into such violence. Specifically for gambling addiction, someone may get depressed once he is down to much financially then emotionally. Once it is happened, gambler will have less control in almost everything. I believe there are many cases in real life where addicted gamblers did something bad to their family, I have even read a news that a husband killed all his family members (wife + kids) then killed himself because of big depression after getting addicted which lead him into a huge debt that he think that he will not able to repay. 

in the part of the world were I reside, I have seen tons of cases when the husband will use his last money to play pool gambling and will leave his family hungry and when he returns home, chaos become the order of the day.

As long as your addictive gambling habit becomes a problem to the home, it's definitely going to cause problem and violence in the home. As a man, if you want to gamble responsibly, it's best you do it with your spare money and not a family money that will leave your family business in mess or else you will face chaos, fighting, and loads of problem at home.

Their are people who gets violent on their loses especially the addicts and those who stakes with huge money, most of them release the aggression on their family, it may not look too intentional but some lacks this self control to restrain them from acting in such manner. It is good we build our mindset on whatever outcome, either a win or loss.

I believe that gambling addiction alone cannot be the reason for that. It happens where there is a lack of education and literacy and where men are always disrespectful to women because a person who always respects women and is always good with their spouse and other family members will never start being violent after becoming a gambling addict. However, someone who has always been violent and aggressive even before becoming an addict, will surely become more violent because of it.

This mostly happens in rural areas where women are usually oppressed and are victims of domestic violence with no justice provided because they are threatened to not speak up about it in front of others. A man with such a mindset will have no second thoughts before getting violent if they don't have any money to spend on their gambling habits.

One of the reasons for the disgraceful actions taken against one of the family members is because they are gamblers who have no responsibility for their gambling activities and if this case really happened then maybe we can conclude that they are one of the gamblers who have been trapped in the addiction zone.

I think such actions are normal if done by an addicted gambler who has no responsibility in his gambling activities so that he vented his anger on the people around them, because typical gamblers like that they only want to win but do not want to experience defeat while on the other hand it is a fact that gambling is always about winning and losing, in the sense that you can end the session with a win or a loss. This is why not to ignore and prioritize more about the actual concept of gambling which is nothing more than an activity for profit in the sense that it has no certainty to guarantee you win at the end of the session, I am sure that by having or changing the understanding and mindset in a more appropriate and suggested direction then you will be able to become one of the responsible gamblers who can accept any results at the end of the session especially defeat.

Most times violence in the house can be as a result of idleness. When a man is idle and is supposed to be the bread winner of the house and he is not doing anything to support or back up the family, it annoys him and in most cases, he becomes hostile and aggressive just to  express his frustration. Doing this alone causes violence at home. Gamblers too vent their frustration at home violently when they loses games and this also results to violence in their house.

Addiction can truly result in something as high as domestic violence and if care is not taken it could lead to something worse than just domestic violence into mental problems if not properly handled, so when a gambling addicts start to exhibit some funny characteristics those around him should do everything possible to keep him under control because it could slide unto a state that could become uncomfortable with both the addicts and those around him.


The worst thing that could happen to any family is to have a core addict who can't control his addictions or actions, and that level of addiction will need a doctor to get him treated or rehabilitated

Even a person is known to be calm, his attitude can still change, once he became an addict. When I say addict, this is not only limited to gambling but it can be be with drugs, video games, and others... They might be different but their nature is the same. It can give us a good dose of dopamine.

Many video games now are not free to play. There are some who are, but players has the option to deposit money so that they can buy their characters a skin and other stuffs which can enhance their gaming experience. This is very alarming, so we should ask the help of the authorities as soon as possible before it leads to brutal crimes.

It is not so much about being able to purchase skins or weapons for a game which is played in a multiplayer environment, there is nothing illegal about it, in my opinion, micro transactions are not good, many people do not like them but they do not have anything to do with gambling. On the other hand there are other mechanisms which could be considered to be very close to gambling, like the loot boxes.
Unlike normal and common micro transactions, with loot boxes, players cannot choose what their prize will be, for the same price one could get a very rare item or a common one, being the former worth thousands of dollars. It is basically gambling in disguise. Those I would be indeed in favor of being banned, since there are many children and teen who play those video games and could get addicted to loot boxes (gambling) from a very young age.

Though I haven't experienced any domestic violence caused by aggressive gambling addiction, but I know that it is possible for this to happen, just for instance when a man or man gambles with money meant for somethings in the family, any if the partner may react and such reaction may lead to a very brutal domestic violence, that's why is advisable for every gambler to have a limit to which he should spend his money, though addiction can not allow you to be free of this, once you are addicted, your desire for gambling increases and this will make you become the shadow of yourself at this point, it takes the grace of God to come out if this mess.

Venting their annoyance or frustration when they are at home is something that most often happens in households so that their children or wives will become victims of violence. Those who have lost at gambling will feel relieved if they have committed acts of violence against people at home because they were too afraid to take it out while they were still in the casino. They won't be able to take it out on them at the casino because there will be securities that will beat them up if they cause trouble. And that was his reason to vent his frustration due to his defeat on the people in his house.

It is true that gambling addiction can be a serious problem, and it is important to seek help if you or someone you know is struggling with it. However, it is important to note that not all people who gamble are addicted, and not all people who are addicted to gambling are abusive. In fact, many people who gamble are able to do so responsibly and without any negative consequences. There is a link between gambling addiction and domestic violence, but it is important to remember that this is not a causal relationship. In other words, gambling addiction does not always lead to domestic violence, and there are many other factors that can contribute to domestic violence.

Bro, this happens and it could happen to the person who has never raised his hand to beat his wife before, it depends on the amount lost, how the money affected the person or the spouse psychologically and how the woman handled the situation no matter what the money is meant for. Let us just pray that we are not tempted more than our capability, that is when you know if you can do it or not. Those who have lovely wives and mature women do not know what God has blessed them with, but if they are such that are so unlucky to be the kind of daredevil wives/partners, then anything can happen. This is because it's possible that an already battered man would be frustrated to the point that he would do what he didn't want to do. In some cases too, it might be the woman that would start the violence, so human nature matters really on how we can handle ourselves which I believe can never be the same way.

As you said, the environment could help well in this regard if such is not common, but in this situation, I believe that it is not the man who will be unruly but also the women in that environment. Because it can't always be violence and immaturity on the part of the women in that locality and the men will just be held like fools. It takes the two to behave well before they can respect each other and settle the situation amicably. Even if that situation happens in some homes, the wives will be the ones to calm the husbands and help them heal. But this is not the situation in all homes because the women may not handle it well and it might lead to other things that are not even related to gambling but just aggression due to it.

This is very possible, because he is addicted to gambling, this shows that he has poor emotional control. So when he encounters a problem in the family, he finds it difficult to respond to the problem wisely and instead of solving the problem, he actually makes the situation worse. Where when the wife complains about problems in the family, the husband (gambling addict) instead of looking for a solution, he instead scolds his wife and a quarrel occurs, which ends in domestic violence.

Based on this, it is not gambling that is wrong, but bad behavior that makes him worse off and suffering. because when it comes to gambling, it depends on who is playing it. And it needs to be understood that gambling is a form of entertainment only, and is not a top priority.

It is obvious that some gamblers do make such mistakes of transferred aggression at home after losing at gambling casinos. It is true that at casinos, there are Security's to enforce law and orderliness when gambling and with the presence of those security officers, losers can not act funny because if they do, they would be properly dealt with so in that case, a frustrated gambler would take his annoyance and anger home to vent it on his family there by causing domestic violence without minding the consequences of his actions.

Addiction leads to violence at some point. If an addicted person, regardless of the cause, is abandoned and not taken care of, his trouble will eventually grow to a violent stage. Where he'd get paranoid over little things and tend to yell at people around him or in his circle. In the life of a gambling addicted person, his troubles are related to loss of money, which is very disturbing to the gambler. A gambler who is careless about wagering habit, can end up being violent, because he'd be neglecting other financial responsibilities. Which when reminded of him, he could get sad and begin to quarrel over it, since he has no money to solve the responsibility. Most of them, aggressive gamblers, end up being upset if a person tells them that gambling is the reason for their trouble. They think gambling is right, and attack anyone who thinks otherwise. 

The worst impacts of gambling vary greatly, but the average is known based on research and cases that have occurred. Especially in serious addicts, they can lose control over their money, emotions and psychology. They are very likely to commit acts of violence due to losing control of their emotions and that is a really bad consequence.

If a gambler has reached the stage of losing control of his emotions and tends to take it out on anyone, including family, then perhaps the gambler really deserves to receive rehabilitation. Bad addiction and wrong thought patterns make his behavior bad, of course he must get treatment so that he at least has a mindset and behavior that is responsible for the consequences of gambling.

If a gambler is emotional, they will still think more about venting their emotions at the casino because there is security at the casino that will protect them and prevent them from committing violence or damaging anything in the casino. But the gambler can take his anger home and take it out on the people in his house. That is where there is violence in the household, which is caused by the gambler venting his anger towards his household. This domestic violence has occurred in many households and is caused by many things, not only from gambling but from other things. Those who gamble should be able to control their emotions so they don't lose control of themselves when gambling and don't take out their frustrations on the people in their house.

I think something, if we don't let's see , the things when you have an Addiction the person must be very Controlled in their emotions , if they have a family, then things or they must do them logically , they must respect their family , they must respect what that he has , cannot lead to domestic violence , generally a person who is not addicted usually gets many bad ideas into his head, for example, when we are in a Physical casino it is Very easy for Alcoholic beverages to be given , and If Suddenly things are not Controlled in the drinking , apart from losing in the game, one arrives drunk at the bar, that's the only thing, but because one can do it And one has to do it, I don't agree that a person becomes pogna like that because it's the only one, but, one like Human must know that things cannot happen like that, in this case we when we see him are still addicted, we must tell him Something, because he does not drink more because that means that a Whole person is going to spend more than I name it because the emcones become inhibited and there is no Longer any type of filter, if all the diene is used up, it is used up and that's it.

Addictions are always going to bring bad things for the person who has it and for their friends, family and those around them, because it is something that Affects Everything and Affects Everything it touches, I have seen how many people not only They lose their money , they get into Terrible debts, they lose friends because the friends lend them money and since the Player does not have the capacity to pay, they lose those Friendships Those friendships cause Problems Because they have to Pay them and apart from everything they end up with banks and all this can happen Given that things are going in favor of the people who have the problem cannot be Defended , I have always said that a person will always do the Right thing so that they Avoid many problems, because everything can be lost, but at most it is losing the Family, Due to Irresponsibility.

Gamblers undergo series of challenges, such as being violent with loved one, which is the worst among every other trouble a gambler could face in his entire life. Because on the long run, the family is all we've got at home. If we make it unbearable or uncomfortable for people there, it'll also get to be a no safe staying for the gambler. Hence, he'd find himself spending most of his time in the casino. As he's already caused troubles in his home and made it uncomfortable for himself and family. Thereby causing more addiction on the gambler. Whenever he's at home could be to sleep, because the violence he started has not been settled and he wouldn't have the energy to keep up with it, especially when he stays with vibrant and aggressive people. Gamblers are required to respect the emotions of the people around them, to keep them safe from being sad or over reactive to few negative results that could pop out from their gambling activity.

When someone is addicted to gambling, he will not think about other things, including his family, because he just wants to continue gambling, and it seems he will not stop even if he no longer has money. He will forcefully ask for money from people in his house and may even commit violence against those in his house in order to have money to continue his gambling activities. If they already have a gambling addiction and other addictions, such as drinking alcohol, it will only make their family's life worse because they will definitely commit domestic violence against the people in their house. He will not think about the fate of the people in his house, including his children, who may still be small. He only cared about himself; he wanted to gamble and drink because those were the only things that could make him happy. He no longer cared what the outcome of everything was because his mind was no longer able to think clearly. He had actually spent so much money that he had forgotten the total amount and no longer had anything of value because everything had been sold just to satisfy his lust for gambling and drinking.

Yes, addiction will have a bad impact on him and his family, especially since it has happened to several families. Those who are in the gambling addict's circle have really suffered because of the gambling addict's actions and cannot think about what they should do. They really need help from other people around them, but because of the pressure from the gambling addict, their family doesn't dare to tell the people around them and can only hide their suffering. Their family life is no longer predictable because there are so many problems that come and go that they no longer know how to solve the problems. There is still a debt that must be paid immediately, and that was caused by the gambling addict who also borrowed money from several people and only said he would return the money. But he still couldn't return the money because he didn't have any more money.

Gamblers who have become addicted to gambling will no longer pay attention to their families because their focus has changed to gambling, and they will gamble more often than before. His family will experience the negative impact of the gambling addict's behavior, so they will suffer even more and will no longer know what they can do to get out of this problem. Maybe they think they will cure the gambling addict, but it is not easy because the gambling addict will not want to admit that he has a gambling addiction. He will only fall deeper into gambling without being able to get out of gambling easily. He will only add suffering to his family without thinking that, in fact, he has already caused a lot of problems for his family. He has also committed acts of violence against his family members just to ask for money to continue his gambling activities.

Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence ? Yes, of course
Is gambling addiction the reason of domestic violence? Yes and now. If a person isnt able to control his emotions, anything that makes him stressed or angry can lead to violence. With gambling chances of it to happen is high only because in gambling such person can quickly get a serious of negative emotions.
What should people around him do about ? Definitely not to ban or pause gambling. Such person can get angry because of that. What needs to do is to make him visit psychologist.

Many players have normal thoughts and emotions before they gamble, but later become aggressive when they start gambling. They have developed the hot-headedness even in small things and what's worse is that they gets angry at the people around them. I used to think it was inborn that they have such behavior where they become aggressive and always angry, but later on, I found out that it is actually possible to develop changes in a person depending on their lifestyle and current situation. If gambling leads to domestic violence, it means that a gambler is in the worst condition and needs help from medical professionals to provide a solution on how to be calm and composed.

In as much as they are genuine reason of frustration, they are not a good explanation for such expression of their frustration because such expression will not proffer solution to their situation still so it would be much better they go get a job and help their selves become much more better off than pouring out their frustration in violence.

Such violence never helps the situation rather it only worsen it by causing more harm than good because the family will be harmed by these actions and that will lead to incurring expenses to fixt that which was lost in cause of expressing anger and frustration. Gamblers should always keep their family out of the frustration caused them by gambling and so should their anger aswell be left at the casino and not making their kids, wife or siblings as the case maybe to suffer for that which they are not responsible for .

Those who are addicted to gambling and still experience loss as the major status of their bet result are like to become violent if they cannot control their emotions. Losing more than winning has a way of changing our mood normally, so it's your ability to control your emotions that determine how professional you are with gambling, those who gamble often without having issues with their families have learnt how to control their emotions. But majority of gamblers who are addicts are violent especially when they just finish Loosing their bets.

This is only true to those gamblers that don’t know how to limit their bankroll. Responsible Gambling should be read before a gambler starts gambling on any casino. Being violent after losing only shows that they can’t afford to lose the amount that they using for gambling.

I experienced a lot of losses in the past even brutal consecutive losses without any single win but I’m not reacting violently because I’m okay to lose that money since that is just a small part of my salary that I can recover easily on my next salary. Gambler should start learning to consider losses as payment for entertainment so that they will not react immaturely when in lose.

Even if the player expresses his aggression towards relatives or family, this will continue every time more and more violently. This needs to be stopped immediately, the wife and children should leave immediately and not try to believe that one day this will stop. I understand that few people make this decision, and they believe that the player will definitely stop and this was the last time, but I can disappoint many, because this most likely will not happen. Are you ready to risk your psychological health and the health of your children, I personally am not. These losses are just a lack of luck in the game, so why should the surrounding relatives suffer because of this.

I want to say that, of course, due to constant failures and losses in gambling, a player may have a nervous breakdown, which can take any form, including splashing out on family members, but it would be better if it were in the gym.

This is normal in gambling addiction because mostly they wanted to blame others because of their losses and indeed that they mostly turn into their family member and ending up beating them.
There is a family that we handled in the past that the father killed His son because of gambling addiction that he cannot control Himself everytime he goes home loser, and each time the Boy was His punching bag until he died.

When you are involved in gambling too much and you do not make money as per your expectations or start to lose more, you become frustrated and this frustration can lead to domestic violence where the wife and children of the gambling addict are most affected. In this situation, if the man or the husband is dominant in the house, he will be undue strict to his children and spouse creating too much tension in the house that is not needed. This frustration and violence won't make the gambler win in gambling or recover his lost money.


How sad is it that if one person in the house is gambling addicted, the whole of the house suffers from it. The friends and relatives are somewhat saved from the gambling addict's torture because they do not live with him and they are not dependent on him. However, the person who may suffer the most would be the wife of the gambler (in case he is married).

Indeed, the main trigger for gambling-related violence also comes from activities that have the worst possible outcome, instead of having victories like a million drops of water to cool the soul, all there are are failures like a million fires, burning and pushing emotions to endless heights, just someone coming close will be the place to bring out this fire to erase part of the pain of the fire, to take away the heaviest things. Unfortunately, arguments and noises at home are the places that lead to violence, moments of domination by evils beyond control

It's not everyone that can handle failure, some people will do evil thing just because they are been sacked at work, I am a living proof of such evil act in my area, this guy forcefully beat up a woman and take all her money and when he was caught he said he lost his sense because he got sacked by a jealous boss, and this doesn't have any meaning again since he already committed a crime.

Men should learn to control themselves when things aren't working in their favour either in gambling or in our real lives, and with gambling it's a bit different, because you gathered a lot of money for months only to lose it all in gambling, lack of knowledge have made many men useless for their families and the anger will begin.

Like I told someone who reported the gambling habit of his older brother to me, I told her that it's still better, he is addicted and he keep losing money, and when he lost money he only knows how to drink in a bar, to drain away his sorrow, it's still fair compare to those that blame others for their losses and start doing evil things to people.

Its heartbreaking when gambling tension turns home into a battleground.

But I believe in knowledge and transformation. First, recognize the value of family and a harmonious home life to heal. Gamblers must understand their behaviors and find responsible ways to use gambling. We must set limits, know when to pull back, and most importantly, value our loved ones' emotional well-being. Mindful fun gambling can coexist with a joyful, balanced home life.

Keep in mind that all parties must support and comprehend. Key is communication. Talking about the issues and setting limits can improve our relationship with gambling and our family. You need to find the right balance between enjoyment and excess. The mutual delight and understanding that enrich our lives make balance and respect worthwhile.

Man, just stop this spam, I've not gone through your post history to see if this is actually your writing style, but if this actually is your writing style, then try and change or make a witch, you won't go far writing like this, this is a discussion forum and not a poem contest platform, if other users can writing what you can read , understand and even reply to, then courtesy demands that you do the same, I understand that you might be highly educated but bring yourself down to a level where everyone can understand you, as your comment above (sorry to say) is completely nonsense, I can not make anything meaningful from all you said aside from the fact that I understand that you are in agreement with the comment you replied to, which I myself also agree by the way.

But also would say that, domestic violence from gamblers is not something or a crime that is committed by addicted gambler alone, so, we can not categorically say that, addicted gamblers are the only ones who molest and maltreate their spouses and children at home, for there have been instances where a man after losing to betting goes home with the anger, and out vexation, pounces on his wife or child on a little provocation, this man is not an addict, but simply lacks self control.

They are people who gamble because they see a chance of winning, so a misunderstanding arises which makes them assume that gambling is a "place to make money", and with this it is clear that they will place their hopes on this activity, especially to win, they always think that "they will it's that easy" even though the fact is clear, perhaps you also already know that it is not easy to win if basically we are far from luck, but if you are lucky then victory will also come by itself.

Gambling is not a place to make money, we must always remember this because casinos only give gamblers "opportunities" which means they are still "possibilities" that may not necessarily happen, therefore it is very normal if you experience defeat because gambling is always inseparable. with what is called possible risk. But with a wrong perspective and understanding, it is clear that they will not accept the defeat they experience, which in the end makes them far from being responsible gamblers in the sense of not accepting the defeat, which ultimately makes them emotional and take all external actions into action. control over those closest to them such as family members. Therefore, it is really very important to understand what gambling really is, this is not a place to make money because there is no certainty that can guarantee you to win at the end of the session.

What is wrong is wrong and no need to justify it. A hostile person is a hostile person whether he is busy or not. I have seen a case of a pastor who beats his wife. Now tell me, what justification will such a person have for beating his wife? the truth remains that our profession or state of being doesn't change us to who will are not. What a man manifests is his innate character. Most people naturally have anger issues. They are so quick to react to issues even when such a thing doesn't call for anger when viewed from the lens of a reasonable man.

This is the same with gamblers who are quick to anger. Gambling is an emotional and mental activity and without control, anger and frustration can easily be the outcome of losing a bet. When this happens, everything his wife or children do creates problems because he is so angry that he wants to transfer aggression to anything and since his wife is closer she becomes a victim of the frustration. To me, gambling is not the cause of this, it is the person who naturally has anger issues and that is why he can be easily triggered into showing his real self.

Obviously, gamblers frustrations are too numerous not to talk of when they lose any game in which they have played. As a result of that they can not vent out their frustration at the casino, they do that in their homes which triggers violence in in most cases. However, advising them on self-control after gambling should be another topic of discussion because in most cases, gamblers does transfer their aggression to their various families after losing games and bets. I think It could work perfectly well if it happens that gamblers are being spoken to few minutes before and after gambling in a means of calming their temperament so they do not get violent at home, work and even at the casino as well.

The loss of money can make an addict to be sad, depressed and sometimes aggressive. Although, I've not seen a case where gambling is the cause of a domestic violence but if an addict can transfer aggression on his family members because of gambling loss, then there's the possibility that it could lead to domestic violence. When a man is repeatedly using the money meant to take care of the family to gamble, and everytime he comes home broke with one story or the other. Even if he's not abusive, the wife may be forced to physically attack him and it may escalate to something else.

there are many cases like this, domestic violence committed by gambling addicts, the reason gambling can make someone commit domestic violence is because gambling is related to money and many of those who are addicted to alcohol are gambling addicts.
just imagine, in a household, there will always be financial problems encountered and if your partner is a gambling addict then you will feel like you constantly need money then it will be impossible to avoid arguments with your partner, things like arguments that gambling addicts usually experience when they have a partner.

There's something I always tell myself: don't be close to someone when they're playing and don't be close to someone who is consuming alcohol or drugs. That's because when people here in my country are playing, they always tend to fight among themselves, every day it's been like this and I hear them fighting from my house, I've talked about this before. but it is such a shameful, sad situation that has been happening every day near my house that it is impossible to forget or ignore. I know very well that it's not the slot machines' fault, it's not the snooker table's fault, it's not the beer's fault. It's the fault of those people who go to bars every day, frustrated, to consume alcohol, then start playing and when they're losing, they're already at the alcohol limit.

They start to get irritated by little things that other people say, as a result of which they start to fight, this has happened every day here in my neighborhood. The police haven't done anything, in fact the police have hardly been around here. But it's a very sad situation. They often fight for the rest of the day, I wake up to their noise and I wonder how it is possible that people who went to sleep a lot because they were fighting over beer and other alcoholic drinks and games, wake up very early and fight over the same things. reasons. In my little head it's something very difficult to understand, I've tried to spend days trying to understand why these guys in my neighborhood are all friends when they're lucid and aren't playing anything~

They have behaved like animals when they are drinking alcohol and gambling, they insult each other, humiliate each other, then start to beat each other, while they are friends. The only thing that comes to mind is that they are addicted people who are at a very serious level of the disease. they have no control over themselves and they have started to enjoy violence. They are not polite people because of the environment they are in every day. For them, violence is the best way to forget their problems. something very sad because they keep hurting themselves

Even in cases where a partner is not involved in the household, there is still a relatively high percentage of change the gambling addict could develop a violent behavior with dealing with others within his family, his parents, his siblings or even cousins. Because of the pursue for the money to continue to feed the addiction. On the other hand, if there is no violent targeted towards the family members of the gambling addicted person, there is also a chance such person will try to violently get the money through physical assaulting someone. You know, the usual beginning with the petty crime in the streets is related to gambling, drugs or alcohol.
Sadly, it would seem that uncontrolled addictions like these we talk about here in this section of the forum always lead to either depression or violence. Not only the addicted person is the one who ends up paying the consequences of the addiction but also those around him.

On the time that your mind and emotion is on a stirred up condition due to addiction- doesnt matter on which form or type then you would really be having those chances on making such act
on which it do really passes out into that line on which a well thinking minded person couldnt really be able to  do so. We do know that if you are on a situation on which you are addicted
then you cant think up well, you would surely be prioritizing on things on which you do seem which is right and that really get in line with your interest and if it turns out that it cant be
possibly be able to obtain on that point then this is where these violence  would really be starting out to happen on which it is really just that sad that people do really end up
on this kind of act.

The gambler who loss the funds surely get the depression by the loss.Sonce they can’t show their anger anywhere the family will be the last result for the gamblers to show their anger.The worst part of the gambling addicted person is they will do the violence in their family.The children of the gambling addicted person was affected by the mental illness.The gamblers should use the vacation to short their gambling addiction losses and recover their loss of their own mental health.The gamblers who were not control their emotions may leads to the separation from their family member by the divorce by their own wife.

Perpetrators of domestic violence and abuse need to accept their full responsibility without putting any scapegoats in the middle.

Same goes for if you're a victim. Never accept any excuses. Have a bold stance against violence in all of its forms and state clearly that it's unacceptable.
Questioning if gambling can lead to violence is not that of a serious take to me. Psychological issues can lead to many things. If someone has issues with his mood, anger and compulsiveness then these need to be dealt with accordingly and in his own responsibility should avoid activities that might make him a danger to society, let alone his own family.

If need be, such people should avoid gambling. But better yet they should be accountable and fix themselves to avoid future troubles instead of blaming their bad manners on external factors.

The worst risks of gambling are regarding how to handle anger after they are very emotional and cannot control themselves, taking out anger on innocent families, the highest cases of divorce in recent years due to gambling and every partner definitely does not accept that their husband is addicted to gambling and they ignore the priority needs for the cost of living for his family, the saddest case of divorce because his anger caused abuse of his wife just because of a small mistake. This is all due to gambling budget management which is not limited to gambling, so after they lose a lot of funds it will cause aggressive depression to persecute the family at home.

That's true because for gamblers who don't have boundaries when gambling, they can more easily become addicted so they can't control their emotions if they experience consecutive losses, even if they often lose. And it is not uncommon for someone who is addicted to gambling to become more violent towards their family and commit violence in their household, which disturbs the people around the addict because they have to see the gambler's irresponsible behavior.

Yes, people who gamble should have an attitude like you, namely being able to accept even though they keep on losing in a row and rarely win because if we have entered into gambling we have to accept the consequences or risks that we will experience so that we don't behave like small children. gets emotional easily and can't control himself. Gambling will be safe if we do it right and won't run into problems if we don't spend too much money on gambling.

Cases of domestic violence certainly start from a lack of economic stability in the household and the main cause is not being able to manage the budget well, especially if the husband is addicted to gambling, the family's financial problems are definitely disrupted. Making the wife fed up and the husband unable to accept defeat and committing violence against his wife and a wife who does not accept it will sue her husband for divorce because of domestic violence. No wife wants her husband to experience a gambling addiction or any other type of addiction because what they worry about is that this could happen in their household.

You dont understand it correctly. It is not gambling and domestic violence, it is domestic violence and a person who can not control his negative emotions. It is not necessary for such person to gamble to get angry and start acting violently. Similarly he can play video games, lose and get angry, something fall out of his hand, breaks and he gets angry. I even doubt that doctors can help in this case. This is already a built character.  It needs ages to change such people.

This story is almost similar to my neighbor's where her husband was fired from his job because he was caught gambling in his office and in the end he became happier gambling all the time using his wife's savings, which made his wife angry and in the end he didn't accept his wife's treatment, especially because he was emotional about losing. gambling made the man hit his wife and in the end my neighbor lived alone because his wife and children had left him, problems like this always exist if someone starts to be addicted to gambling.

Those who are addicted to gambling not only lose money but a lot of their wives and children and even time with them, that's why gambling should be used as entertainment, not a place to earn extra money, let alone a path to wealth, that's clearly impossible, basically people can limit gambling. so that they don't get addicted but they actually prefer to gamble without limits which ultimately makes them hooked and addicted to gambling, that's why it's important to avoid gambling addiction when gambling because it can lead to domestic violence too.

It's not always about those who have below average finances, what I mean is that family violence is not always because of the weak economy in the family, I understand that this can also be a trigger for violence, and let's put it together when someone has low finances in the family but on the other hand they are also involved in gambling addiction which in the end makes the situation very concerning, On the other hand, it is clear that the family finances will definitely be disrupted and there will definitely be a lot of arguments that occur because one of them allocates some of the money for living needs to gambling activities which makes them end up losing money that is actually unnecessary if they are not involved in gambling.

Fighting over finances and the bad habits of one of these couples leads to violence and this scenario is a likely one for violence to occur. Another bad thing is as you said that it is very likely that one of them will seek a divorce which means gambling is very likely to destroy a relationship. This is why we have to be very careful when it comes to gambling, simply put if you can't afford to lose then obviously it's better not to gamble.

It's true, that gambling addicts often take their frustration out on their families, mainly their children and wives. When a gambler manages to win something, they become happy and cheerful, and they show love and affection towards their family, but when the opposite happens in the casino, they tend to have a different personality altogether, just like a drug addict who wouldn't recognize people when they haven't consumed any drugs for some time.

Such people surely do not deserve to live in the open because they can be harmful at times. However, the biggest reason why they stay like this is their families that don't report them and think that they will become completely helpless if they are gone since they are the sole bread earners for the family no matter how they behave at times.

The gambling loss will give more pressure on the gambler and his family.Because the loss will affect the financial stability of the gamblers family,So they suffer with no money for the basic need expenses.Apart from the basic needs,the gamblers should take care of the health expenses of their entire family members.Surely their will be the old people in the gambler family,they will take care by the tablet on daily basis.So the gamblers should take care of the medical expenses in the weekly basics.How the gamblers will manage all this expenses after the loss in the gambling site.So the gambler will show the emotion on their family which leads to the domestic violence.

Of course, many cigarette packets say that smoking is harmful to health, but people continue to smoke because they are addicted to it. Gambling Just as a gambler will gamble until he is destitute i.e. he will enjoy gambling as long as he has money in his pocket. It can be a person's equation how to control his consciousness. If you lose money you have to try again to catch it but gambling requires money. So you can enjoy gambling if you have the right way to earn money.

If someone is to be addicted to gambling, they can resort to domestic violence, when their gambling habits are not managed properly. In the sense that, the addicted gambler who has much hope on gambling would love to bets with all the money in their position believing that they will win the bets for that day by having some money.

That mindset will further make them bet on money meant for the important stuff. And when the bet games don't go as expected(to win), they come back home to unleash their frustration on their wife, who is already stressed with house chores that their husband left home without dropping a dime on the table.

These scenarios alone can bring about arguments, exchange of words, and verbal abuse of their wife

The smoking is harmful but the smoker never accept the words from the pocket.Actually their was one fun factor here,many people from the poor countries are not buying the cigarettes pocket.So they won’t get a chance to read the disclaimer in the pocket,like this the small losses in the gambling site will not make the gamblers to feel like they get addicted to the gambling site.The smoking can be cured by following some steps like eating the chewing gum.

The gambler also get away from the gambling addiction by following the factor like deposit the fixed amount per dollar per month.Even though the gamblers had won or loss doesn’t matter,the gamblers must do the fixed deposit dollars in the gambling site.So this control of deposit will also help the gamblers to get away from the gambling addiction.

We are humans and we can control ourselves differently, some can't just hide their feelings and will not be able to restrain themselves, they will let them out in violence or otherwise depending on the situation we are talking about. All still buttress on responsible gambling, we do not just look for trouble unnecessarily simply because we want to gamble, we must be accountable and thoughtful before doing silly things. We must think beyond ourselves, we must think of our spouses and children, even as we think of the responsibilities we have before we are risking foolishly. Because it could only be foolish if we are risking what was meant for other better purposes for gambling thinking that we can outsmart the system.

I mean the system that will always be siding more in the favour of the house, one should not be so naive in this regard, and this alone is an important consideration for us to gamble responsibly so that a ripple effect will not cause unforeseen issues that could lead to domestic violence, if not worse. It gets aggravated if the family is facing financial challenges and I do not even know how it will be right at that time for either of the spouses to make plans and decisions in isolation. This can cause a lot of issues, but if they agree together to make the issue, this is better. But still, it could cause aggression and a shift of blame, which is why I advise that only the money that can be afforded to lose should be committed to gambling. Anything other than this might be an invitation to "anarchy."

You are right in what you say, for me things cannot happen like that to what we highlight that can happen, as a person we do not have much to offer when we are in the casino because we have to realize that things can happen differently. different ways, for example those who cannot control themselves easily fall into addiction and this makes things different, in our environment we can say that outside the casino we are normal people, in the casino we can change because the things we If we are looking for the easiest way to do things we have to consider that money is the only thing we have to look for and take care of the most, if we lose a lot of money playing, well, it's simple, we should not play, we should not invent by doing something, In the casino the most important thing I have always said that the most important thing is the money, therefore when we are playing we must do more things to take care of it, the eproans sometimes do not measure that,

The problem of the casino and the serious thing that cannot be controlled is that they often start drinking alcohol and that is a very bad thing, because when you drink alcohol and the casino's pressure goes down, it doesn't matter if you spend money, but the People drink more alcohol because they don't want to feel the pressure and responsibility they have to assume when giving money and this in most cases is what causes domestic violence and that is something very funny, because first of all the mere fact that they arrived drunk It is a bad example, or it cannot be done nor should it be done because the bad example is what (if there are any) and I think that very few women like drunk men, that is something that brings bad things, I always tell them by example. My wife, that a drunk man and people who are gossips will never bring good things in life, on the contrary they will always bring bad things, and that is the only thing you should avoid, because things are delicate like that.

Addiction will make a person lose his mind and lose himself, a good person will become evil and basically all addicts of anything will change a person's character, such as people who have high fanaticism, and we know that an excessive gambling addict has a lot of stress and depression when he loses but he wants to return to gambling after losing everything he has, he has the potential to do criminal things when experiencing stress or mental disorders due to losing gambling and that is what will make him behave to hurt people around him, such as the closest person or family, this is not a personal assumption but real and there are many cases like this in the world.

A violent person is easy to spot and you can tell immediately when they get angry. There is a difference between been angry and been sad. When I gamble and I lose and I'm emotionally affected, I can only be sad and not angry to the level that I will beat someone, domestic violence is a serious case that can land someone in prison and I wouldn't even joke about it, beating a person you claim you love is a total madness, the person is suffering from another side problem and not gambling loss.

If any person is every addicted to gambling, I don't think violence will ever be the result. Naturally we have women beaters that beat women for small things, anytime you see a person involved in gambling and start beating woman, just know that they are using gambling addiction as camouflage, an addicted person will be useless financially but not lose his sense of reasoning with human relations.

This might happen, because gamblers, especially those who are addicted to gambling, have difficulty controlling their emotions and this can lead to domestic violence if something triggers their anger. Gambling addicts will usually hit or break something when they are emotional without considering the long-term impact on their family. And usually the victims of domestic violence are children who are still young and don't know anything about the destruction of their families because of gambling.

this is very unfortunate because the impact of domestic violence can be long-term and will cause deep trauma to the people affected by it.

This can still be prevented by maintaining a limit between the money used for gambling and the money needed for the household. Gambling can trigger more severe acts of domestic violence if the gambler is unable to control himself in gambling, which is why it is very important to be a responsible gambler.
The long-term impact will be detrimental to yourself if you are addicted to gambling and unable to control your emotions, domestic violence will result in divorce and children who have to bear the risks because their parents have separated. Another risk may be that you end up in a detention cell due to other things you do due to emotions and the desire to get money to satisfy your gambling appetite.

Losing money due to our deliberate actions could have an effect on the mood and emotions of just about anyone that gambles.  But I also don’t think someone who ordinarily isn’t violent could suddenly turn violent with his spouse and family due to gambling.
Understandably, losses could affect our emotions but someone who isn’t violent isn’t likely to start being violent due to losses at the casino.

Perhaps momentarily, one could act out and behave in a different manner due to circumstances around that has accumulated and likely caused by continuous losses in gambling.

And if you are a type of person who cant really be able to control towards their own emotions or anger then this is where it do becomes that those kind of possible actions could really be happened
out if you are that someone whose really that impulsive when it comes to this manner specially in the moment that you do have that extreme addiction. We might be saying that its absurd to happen or something that wont really be possible then its true that there are really individuals who do able to reach out onto that particular state on their lives when it comes to this kind of situation.
This is why it would really be that important that you should be having that good control toward self when it comes to mindset and with your mood or emotions.
You wont really be able to have those problems if you are really just like this.

Gambling addiction can lead to domestic violence. When people get addicted to gambling they may experience financial difficulties which can lead to increased stress and tension within the family. This can result in arguments, emotional abuse and even physical violence.

The addictive behaviour itself can cause individuals to become irritable, impulsive and prone to aggressive outbursts. The loss of control and inability to stop gambling can further strain relationships, leading to a cycle of conflict and violence.

It is crucial to address both the gambling addiction and the resulting domestic violence to ensure the safety and well being of everybody involved.

Every day around the world, domestic violence affects a huge number of people, honor of whom are minors. Yes, I think that gambling addiction can lead to the fact that after losing the last money a person completely loses control over himself and transgresses the boundary of permissible in relation to his relatives. After all, it is very common that in a fit of anger people take out on the most defenseless.

If the gambling addict is very serious, of course it will cause household problems too, because the gambler will look for money any way he can so he can continue gambling, this is often related except for responsible gambling.

Any addiction takes people to extreme levels so that problems start in the family as well. When a gambler becomes addicted he loses control and becomes addicted to gambling and is ready to do anything for money. One of my cousins ​​got addicted to gambling and sold his house, land and even his mobile at last. So when one becomes addicted to gambling, it affects the family a lot, and that can be well understood by those who have someone in their family who is addicted to gambling. If someone loses control over himself then gambling cannot be blamed for his failure.

This is so practical because the money involved could cause a whole lot of ripple effects that will not be pleasant for every party involved. Gambling is so tempting and if care is not taken, the money meant for another thing would be used for it, and if lost, it could be very painful. This could be your money or another person's money, and if it is your money, you can be less pressured especially if it is not the only means you have. But even if it is your money and it is also the only means you have, it could be so pressing more than you think, and before you know it, you will be passing aggression to people. You will never be happy in this kind of condition, so it could lead to anything unspeakable, including domestic violence. Also, if this is the money of another person, especially your wife, that could cause issues for sure, and that could come from either of the spouses depending on whose money was lost, what the money was really meant for and the way they handle the situation.

Even though someone is addicted to gambling, that do not mean that they are to so illegal things for them to get the fund to keep gambling. Domestic violence should be isolated from someone being a gambling addict. This is from within since there are people that not tolerate excuses and and small things can make them angry to the extend of going deep to hurt their next victim. We don't need to attribute domestic violence to gambling. This supposed not to work together. Those that have the feelings and interest to be violent domestically are by themselves immune to it. We don't need to see it from a general angle that every gambling addicts are violent.

A gambling addict after streak of losses can be very aggressive they can definitely transfer aggression and become violent though it depend on individual behavior of each gambler, personally at times if I lost a bet I tend to transfer aggression to anyone that offend me even with the slightest provocation, however with time I was able to overcome it, imagine an addicted gambler who loses bet in a bid to forget about the losses embark on drinking beer  such a gambler can very violent with a slightest provocation which might lead to domestic violence I always emphasize gambler to always gamble responsibly to avoid those consequences that  would to domestic violence.

Gambling addiction is something quite different from domestic violence, only an irresponsible man will get himself into such menace of engaging into domestic violence, gambling addiction is just a pattern of someone gambling more often than not, domestic violence has to do with an individual person characters, temperament and behavioral attitude in tolerating each other, you're being addicted doesn't means you have bad manners to have engage in domestic violence, it may also be the other way round as the case may be.

Exactly, it cannot be denied that it is a serious gambling addiction, sometimes the effects are very broad. Domestic violence or even worse is a criminal act in order to get money to gamble again. And this is quite common in society, especially if the addicted gamblers are really difficult to control and are bankrupt and have a lot of debt. Usually their lives are much more complicated. And they won't think clearly and based on considerations, no way. What's on their mind is how to get money quickly so they can gamble again and again. This is the bad thing if you have a gambling addiction that cannot be controlled.

    Gambling addiction can strain relationships with family, friends, and loved ones. Trust issues, conflicts over money, and the individual's preoccupation with gambling can lead to strained relationships and social isolation. It can lead to emotional distress, including feelings of guilt, shame, anxiety, and depression. Individuals may experience mood swings related to their gambling outcomes, leading to a cycle of emotional highs and lows. All this can lead one to be a different person, so yeah gambling can actually turn a very reasonable person to total stranger of himself. Once the mental health is stressed it affect the body and the behavioral state of a person.
   It's important to recognize that gambling addiction is a serious condition that can have profound effects on individuals and their loved ones. Treatment for gambling addiction often involves a combination of therapy, support groups, and financial counseling to address the underlying psychological and behavioral factors contributing to the addiction. It is good to know where the problem is coming from, so that you can tackle it. Not all people can accept defeat and may even become aggressive. Gambling addiction is not something one need to take for granted.

If they don't want to experience disappointment from gambling, they must be able to control themselves well so that when they return home, they don't carry that feeling of disappointment, which can result in violence in their home. Unfortunately, there are still many people who cannot control their emotions when they return home, and without thinking, they take out their frustration and disappointment on their family members, causing conflict between them. When playing gambling, they really have to take good care of themselves and always use limits when gambling so that they won't experience too many losses that they can't accept. They must also be able to restrain themselves from continuing to gamble, especially if they have experienced more losses. They should not experience the resentment brought home due to their loss because that will only bring suffering to those at home. That's why they really need to learn self-control so that they don't gamble excessively, and even when they go home, they don't have any burdens.

When they gamble in physical casinos, they will encounter things such as alcohol and women, and they should be able to protect themselves from all things that could have a bad impact on them. If they are drunk, especially drunk because they have lost at gambling, they will lose control of their minds. They will not be able to think sensibly, so they will probably create chaos in the casino and will be forcibly evicted by casino security. When they are drunk, what they say will arouse the emotions of the people around them, and there may be a fight between them, and it will end in beatings or other acts of violence. This is certainly not good for that person because they will suffer the consequences of being drunk. If they have lost, it would be better for them to go straight home and not bring their emotions or annoyance home so that it won't cause other problems. With good self-control, they can avoid these problems and go home calmly.

Addiction is not good in general. A person who is in this situation can't think about what is right and what is wrong. It was a mental illness that changed everything in their life, decision-making, attitude, etc.

It was hard to imagine which is why we should not let that situation happen to us. We need to control gambling habits as much as possible; must stick to being a responsible gambler. It is not hard to do that if we consider gambling as just for fun, not a source of income because that will affect our thinking as well. If we lose, just forget it rather than chase them as it only leads to overspending.

People who are already predisposed to assault their family members often resort to illegal and detrimental activities like gambling for enjoyment. Some of them even go so far as to cheat on their wives/husbands because in their minds, the abuse that they subject their partners to is justified and the happiness that they get from other sources plus the catharsis that they achieve from abusing their partners and even possibly their kids is something that they need. Total sickos if I do say so myself.

So with that being said I can firmly believe that it's not gambling that pushes people to be hurtful creatures for that matter. I say they are already like that to begin with before they even knew about gambling, and their unhealthy gambling habits along with an abusive lifestyle just brought the whole beast out of them. Gambling isn't anything but a way to enjoy yourself after all, so how is it going to cause people into thinking that they should beat their wives when they get home after a loss? It just doesn't make sense.

One thing that you gotta keep in mind is that people who abuse other people aren't activatable via switches or something. That kind of behavior takes years and even decades to develop and be reinforced. Which means they're already fucking sick in the head to begin with.

That is the significant impact addiction can have on a people's life and the importance of taking proactive steps to prevent it, particularly in the context of gambling. Addiction, whether to substances or behaviors like gambling, can indeed alter a person's mental state, decision-making abilities, and overall outlook on life. Maintaining control over gambling habits and adopting responsible gambling practices are crucial in preventing addiction from taking hold.

People need to view gambling as a form of entertainment rather than a source of income, because it is an important mindset to cultivate, and it helps to avoid the trap of becoming emotionally invested in winning or losing money. Developing resilience and the ability to move on from losses without dwelling on them excessively is key to maintaining a healthy relationship with gambling. People can enjoy the recreational aspects of gambling while minimizing the risk of developing harmful addictive patterns by prioritizing responsible gambling behaviors.

Basically, I've been a witness to a lot of domestic violence resulting from gambling addiction as the most recent I've witnessed was between a man, the wife and the children. The man is a die hard gambler as he gambles with any little money he has and the worst of it is that the man doesn't even have a job as he depends on his struggling wife's business and his children that are working in other to earn a living but this man has consistently be spending most of his time in gambling offices, now just a few days ago the man collected rent fees from tenants that lives in his house and took the money to play gamble and came back home empty so the wife confronted him about his attitude and he beat up the wife in the process, the children ran to save their mother and in that situation they started beating up the father to coma, as the man fainted and was rushed to hospital for treatments. This is the height to which gambling addiction can lead to, now out of anger he beat up the wife and was beaten in retaliation by his own children in the process so no matter how addicted someone is in gambling, resulting to domestic violence like transferring aggression to people at home leads to more serious case than expected.

Anything is possible so I have no doubts that if you dig hard enough you will find some cases like that, however I would venture to say that those cases are way more sporadic compared to those that are addicted to drugs or alcohol, and this is because even if any addiction can be incredibly damaging, at the same time those that are addicted to gambling, once they stop because they run out of money still think as clearly as you and I, while someone that is intoxicated is impaired on their ability to think rationally, and this could cause them to do things they may not do when they are clean from those substances.

A sad experience as such in the family isn't great for an addicted gambler's health, even when he's fine. Everything they did during their addiction days always reflect to their memory after getting cured. Hence, the cause of such things could be frustration. An addicted person wants to win big, but due to his problem gambling nothing good comes out from his gambling results. When the win appears, the gambler still doesn't know how he spends the money. So, the stress and mental disorder could make the gambler to treat his loved ones in a disdained manner. Such things are the disadvantages of gambling, as when one is not careful, he could be in a state of mind where those he cared for would be suffering alongside him, in pains and emotionally.

Any type of addiction will have very bad impact on daily life and of course this will cause many problems which may be very difficult to solve.
Every addict will have attitudes, behavior and thought patterns that are different from normal people in general so that several things that are beyond reason will happen, including domestic violence or destruction in the household.
They have no consideration for what they are doing and they have forgotten what responsibility is, so it is normal for gambling addict to commit immeasurable stupid acts.
I sure they also have no regrets before experiencing the problems that have destroyed their lives and experienced unimaginable consequences.

Yes, and when the perspective and goal of gambling is just for fun without involving the desire to make money, the percentage of gambling addiction will be minimized.
This will be one of the efforts to prevent bad things from happening, such as domestic violence or household breakdown.

In my country there are several cases of this happening, due to excessive playing in gambling adding to family problems those suspects make a decision they really regret in life they get too much carried away with their emotions and lose of self-control after they commit those mistakes they get realizing what they made but of course even though they keep making sorry after the incident still they committed a mistake never been forget. Always make sure before playing gambling you are still in a good mindset.

It is true that gambling addiction is very bad among people, especially those who are married, because excessive gambling addiction can bring out a person's true character if they are faced with an uncontrollable situation. Indeed, addiction is not the only factor that causes domestic violence, but there are many. also addicted to gambling who commits violence against his friends and this can have an impact on the household if the condition of the house is not good.

There are also those who think that committing domestic violence is someone who basically has a temperamental nature and takes out his frustrations on other people and before getting to know gambling, maybe he could be manipulative and act as if he were a good person, but if one day they get to know gambling or get to know something wrong. Bad things will bring out a person's true character, and I admit that this is true, and not everyone is addicted to being violent and it is only certain people who really have the heart to commit violence against their partners.

Gambling addiction can bring out other bad characters that was already inside you but you have always being able to control the emotions. As you get addicted and start losing money you won't be able to control other emotions and they begin to come out to the open. We all have anger issues but we have being managing it or control it but when you get addicted and starts drinking too to forget about your losses, you won't be able to have control over your emotions.

Some individuals can control their violent behaviour even when they're addicted and losing money always but not all individuals can control it. Gambling addiction can lead to other addiction behaviour and also lead to other unfriendly behaviours this is the reason gambling addiction isn't a good thing to have. Don't put all your attention on gambling or you will be disappointed and frustrated from gambling.

Many cases of battered wife have been due to their partner's gambling addiction and their anger is being sent to their wives.
And your emotion for being a loser is due to losing your bets and that will also reflect to how you behave. While it is an understandable thing but you shouldn't practice that to anyone.
When you lose, you have to be good at it and just try to recover some of it whenever you can and don't put your emotions into your hands which will cause violence.

Well done brother, everyone has a bad side, mine is anger management issue, I am able to keep myself under control but few times I always lose my cool, I might fall victim if I get addicted to gambling and lose a lot of money, but thankfully I know how to protect myself from gambling addiction before I even start gambling.

Some people are already bad before they start gambling, they are the type that use forces to hijack peoples belongings and put the blame on gambling, they result into stealing from other people and possibly inflicting pain of them.

Such people should face the law if they commit any crime, the law won't pity you for losing money in gambling and hurting other people because of your loss, what you give is what you get.

You don't have to be "bad." Anyone can resort to gambling. The issue arises when you're going overboard, and it's actually negatively affecting you. This can be due to a variety of reasons, such as mental illnesses like depression, social anxiety, stress, and so on. In my opinion, it's unusual for someone who's in a relatively pleasant state of mind to fall victim to a gambling addiction. Someone who's feeling good and fulfilled won't get upset over losing some money on gambling; they won't go after their losses, and they'll simply let go.

Unfortunately, when someone is having anger issues or a variety of mental illnesses, the line to cross between being furious and resorting to violence is pretty thin.

This is a case of violence that occurs in the household, which occurs very often where gambling addicts feel annoyed by the losses they experience in gambling. He knows he can't take out his disappointment in the casino because security will arrest him so he takes his disappointment home and beats his wife or children. This only makes the problem bigger. His household can fall apart because he often beats his wife or children. The authorities could also arrest him if his family reported him frequently committing domestic violence and also reported that he was addicted to gambling. He will probably undergo a harsh sentence because he has done bad things to his family.

Been addicted in gambling is not something that can cause a violence but what it can cause you is to be a uncomfortable in your homes because everytime you will be thinking of the money you lose and how you spend money everytime without winning so with that it will make you to be uncomfortable but not be aggressive because right from the beginning you have already know that gambling is all about risk and when you don't take the risk that is involve in gambling you will be unable to make profit in gambling, so I believe that gambling can only make you to be aggressive and violence when you discuss about your loss with people.

Yes and I would say that you are really a loser when you want to always win in gambling but are not willing or ready to risk losing which in turn leads to a lot of problems which is really not commendable. After all gambling is always about winning and losing which you can win and you can lose at the end of the session, losing is inevitable and winning is a result that will only happen once in a while because it always depends on your luck, so it is normal that in the end you lose because this is gambling that risks the money of everyone involved.

On the other hand I think cases of violence that occur in domestic relationships are not uncommon and all of these actions are carried out by people who have absolutely no responsibility in their gambling activities such as those addicts who always want to win but are not ready to accept the fact of defeat at the end of the session which ultimately makes them trapped in their emotions and take it out on the closest people around them, so therefore do not put hopes of winning in gambling because it can make you even more disappointed when you lose.

Usually the violence that is carried out is because of financial reasons, usually someone who has lost too much gambling and is bankrupt but doesn't have any more money to gamble, let alone trying to recover his losses, there is no money for that, of course he will look for anyone who is nearby to ask for help, for example asking for money. to his wife to finance his gambling again but the wife did not have the money in her hands, so violence occurred against the wife and the household.

I often watch violent gambling films like that and it's true that the facts in real stories really do exist, so it's not surprising in my opinion if there is violence committed by gambling addicts, that's why people who are addicted to gambling always have a negative impact, not only can harming ourselves but also harming the people around us including our family, I think everyone knows that if gambling addiction continues to get worse it will be dangerous too, that's why so many gamblers always remind beginners of the dangers of gambling addiction.

Addiction is one reason why a gambler becomes irresponsible. They are not just aggressive and violent when asked how much they lose but their mindset is badly affected as well. Just to compare a responsible gambler to an addicted gambler, you will notice the big difference in their behavior and that will tell us about the influence on their minds and personalities. I can't blame people for thinking gambling addiction creates violence because that is what people are seeing. Casinos don't want gamblers to be caught in addiction but they don't have full control of it because, for me, it was a choice as we can avoid it if we want.

Gambling addiction causes devastating ripples. Definitely a financial black hole. I agree that films and stories reflect life more than we like to admit. Addiction ensnares and damages everyone, plunging gamblers and their families into despair.

Still, I favour a balanced view. While understanding the evil side, I think gambling can be fun when done carefully. The game's thrill, risk vs reward. Fun gambling with limits and losses is my preference. Knowing when to stop keeps it a hobby rather than a lifelong addiction.

Education and awareness matter. I believe in educating people about addiction and promoting self-control and responsible gambling. A tricky balance, but not impossible. Gambling may be fun and games without being destructive, with the appropriate approach.

But, how many of care actually? I am not one of those who gamble too much and lose. I do not gamble regularly but I understand the fact that when someone loses, it's hard for them to control themselves. But, I don't think it's wise to do violence in a family. You cannot hit your loved ones. If you do, then you are not responsible at all.

I do not recommend anyone to gamble further with the hope that they may recover something. Because I have been gambling for ages and most of the time I lose all even though when I was in recovery mode.

Here we are, generalising addiction without understanding human psychology. Saying gambling addiction is all about choice oversimplifies human vulnerability. It's not enough to say no; you must also understand why others can't. Casinos operate paradoxically. Despite advocating for ethical gambling, their earnings thrive on addiction. A business model, not morality, guides their judgements. Let's not absolve individuals of all blame. We must educate ourselves about addiction hazards and symptoms
We talk about avoiding addiction as if it's easy, but it's not. We need stronger support services, but we also need resilience in ourselves and our communities. Challenge the mechanisms that allow addiction and empower people to choose safer choices

Don't try to recover it, that's an even bigger mistake than being violent because the more you try to recover your lost money, the more money you will lose and that will keep making you more frustrated and angry over time which isn't a good thing. The best practice is to not take gambling too seriously and not have a lot of expectations because we know that when you expect something and it doesn't happen, you become disappointed and sad.

When you don't take gambling too seriously and have no expectations of winning a lot of money from it, you will find it easier to let go of the losses and you will have no remorse over time. I know it's not easy for everyone since most people don't have enough patience, but there is nothing wrong with trying.

Yes, I agree not to try to recover those losses because that will only result in more money being lost. It's best if we lose several times, we immediately stop the gambling game so that we don't experience even bigger losses. That will not be good for our emotions because we can despair and see a bigger loss, making us lose all our money. Yes, we must be able to consider gambling as entertainment and not take gambling too seriously so that we can accept the losses we experience and not think about recovering from those losses.

We can also immediately stop gambling when we have lost several times. We can also still maintain our emotions well so that when we return home, our emotions will remain stable, and we will not commit violence against our wives or children. That is a risk that we must accept and instead resort to violence against those who don't know anything about what we are experiencing because that will only traumatize them and show them that we cannot control our emotions after gambling.

We humans are naturally impulsive and we do know that when it comes to money then everyone would really be doing their very best on not to lose it but since we are dealing up with gambling
then it would really be just that a normal part of it and this is something that you must really be that able to realize on what are the things that you must do. If you are anticipating for winning
and you have lost big time and consecutive in gambling then you would really be ending up with having that extreme frustration on which this is something that might be resulting
into those actions which it could possibly lead into violence. We do know that there are people who are really that impulsive when it comes to emotion
on which it do comes into a point that they might be ending up on this way.

That is an example of how addiction makes someone can't control their emotions and leads to violence. Some partners have kept it quiet but some couples suffer too much which even causes separations.
In general, addiction only creates a bad image and contribution to the community which I think casino owners will look into it and give some ways to help their gamblers not to fall into this situation. I know they can monitor gamblers, their deposits, and how frequently they are gambling. Maybe at least setting some limits to them could help but yes, with the huge number of gambling sites or casinos, that won't fully limit gamblers as they will go to other sites. This is the biggest challenge and hard to stop people from getting into addiction.

It is very possible that gambling can lead to domestic violence because there are sometimes when you are on the verge of winning a gambling game,and before you know it,you've gotten lose,and maybe you placed a high stake on the game,it is worth making someone very angry.
If this has happened to you,and you have a  wife at home,if she makes you angry or adds her own problem,you might be tempted to lay your hands on her,but it all depends on people,a hot tempered person will easily hit his woman,but a responsible man will still overlook things.

That's the hard reality. We can experience it ourselves, because gambling is closely connected to emotions. We have different thinking, and the outcome isn't in favor of our choice, resulting in a loss. Further, we don't have money to try to recover what has been lost. Different thoughts will circulate in our minds, and anything said by our close ones or someone on the way back home will surely end in some sort of problem. This happens, and for the same reason, we need to be very cautious after a loss.

But on the other hand there are still some gamblers who are able to stay fine, and that means they have a formula to prevent emotions that dominate them when they are in a losing situation, and I would say that the formula they apply in their gambling is that they have the right understanding and point of view about gambling, especially in terms of risk so that with this then they will not dare to act carelessly such as for example in putting the amount of money, they only put the amount they can be responsible for when losing and this is very useful for minimizing the occurrence of emotions when you lose. In contrast to most gamblers or especially those who have experienced addiction where they always act excessively because they always prioritize winning so it is only natural that in the end they get emotional when it turns out that the final result does not match what they want. So in my opinion what must be corrected is your mindset and point of view on gambling, never consider gambling as an activity that produces because of course in the end you will end up with a lot of disappointment, for me gambling is nothing more than an activity to fill spare time when I'm off work.

I’ve never heard of anyone beating their wife due to gambling losses. There might be some gamblers that have anger issues but those issues exist regardless of whether they are gambling or not. A violent person can hurt their partner for a variety of reasons but you can’t blame gambling specifically when there are many factors which contribute to this behavior.

Well, this happens in Asian countries. Most of the time wife asks what you did with the money and the husband doesn't want to tell her the actual reason. When wife figures out that her husband gambled the money, they used to engage in arguments about why her husband spent the money on gambling, they started in a debate and it ended up beating or hurting their wife.

I consider this as too bad practice. If someone hurt their loved ones just because she wanted to know what you did with the money, they are too with the personality. That's why there is a saying that only gamble what you could afford to lose.

Domestic Violence generally refers to family conflict and turmoil between members of a family. Gambling causes family conflict and turmoil and seriously damages relationships among family members. A gambler cannot treat family members well and to manage gambling money the gambler must start mistreating family members. A gambler misbehaves with his wives and dowry system becomes widespread to manage gambling money. However, gambling creates turmoil in the family and seriously damages relationships with family members. This is how domestic violence can be seen between members of a family.

Failure also works that way, gamblers have emotions, and when they lose money, it affects the player in multiple ways. He could be thinking that the game is unfair to him, or he is not able to devise a good technique that'll help him win. Those things could make the player to change his behavior and get aggressive easily. His responses to his loved ones would be sounding harsh, which the next person may not feel comfortable with, so they'll tend to complain to him or caution him over such behavior. These arguments then lead to a more severe problem and the house now gets into a quarrel. Domestic violence can be fueled by too many complaints and arguments. However, it's bad for a gambler to get to such a bad habit and begin to act strangely to his loved one. As the memory may not stay clear from him or any of the family member who has gone through the same trouble with the addicted gambler.

On the time that you cant be able to handle your emotion then this is where shit things do really happen or those situations that you didnt expect that you could really be able to do it. Once a certain person would
really be losing their control then this is where they would really be ending up on doing things that might harm out other people, due to extreme frustration and disappointment.
We do know that when it comes to probability and chances then we do really have those kind of sudden urge. Each person is different on which there are ones who can be able to
control and there are ones that who cant.

This is why there are security personel into these places on which it is really that maintaining that peace and order. It would be normal that the owner
would really be prioritizing the safety of its players or gamblers in the vicinity.

If there are gamblers who smash TV when they lose 1000 bucks bet, then anything might happen if they supper a bigger loss. But I will repeat, that gambling addiction is only of the reasons of domestic violence to happen. It is not that gambling leads, but gambling is in a list of reason that lead to violence. If your second half isnt gambling, it does not mean it will never hit. Dont forget that if person crossed the line and hit once, no matter how he excuses after, it can be repeated. Such people require long visit to a specialist. Heated temper cant be cured quick.

In most cases a gambler addicts is prone to creating a domestic violence in the sense that when such person is not in the right frame of mind  he can be brutal to any happenings around him.
I actually got a friend  who when he gambles and losses  cause havoc to himself and his surroundings, sometimes when he stake with huge funds and have it that he'll catch a big fish when he fails he'll start spoiling things around him,even yo a point of smatching his new phone on the floor cause of that.

One thing that causes this domestic violence addicts is anger issues once a gambler have this,he is prone to causes a disaster in his environment and beyond,so it's advise such persons with anger limit gambling abit.

Currently there is widespread news that the impact of gambling can lead to domestic violence, for example a husband has the heart to beat his wife and children because they ran out of money to gamble, the wife asks for money to shop but is scolded and even beaten, while the children ask for money for money. Even though there were snacks at school, the child was scolded until he was not given money and what was worse was that the husband sold the goods at home because he didn't have any more money to gamble so he could gamble. Again. How concerned people are who experience bad things like that. It is true that the impact of gambling can make a person's life miserable and miserable.

True, however when people try to find a reason why such behavior exists, they take the easy way out and blame the single most obvious reason that they think may have lead towards that behavior, and in the case there is a gambling addiction going on, gambling without a doubt will take the blame, but the truth is that many times those people were already violent to begin with, and if the wrong circumstances appeared they would have acted on those impulses anyway for one reason or another.

I have never heard of any or come across a news talking about that in the internet. I won’t be surprised if a news comes out saying that a gambler engaged in such act and caused mayhem in the society. The level of addiction some people have in gambling can take over their sanity and how they react to things when they lose their bet. You should know how to control your emotions, don’t be aggressive at losses as the implication is always severe.

I came across a news today about  House of Representatives in the Nigeria National Assembly (https://punchng.com/reps-want-awareness-on-negative-impact-of-sports-betting) telling the federal government to spread the awareness of the negative impact of sports betting, saying that;

“Weak or neglected regulations of sports betting have dangerously led to mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, or addiction; strained or broken relationships due to lying or stealing from friends and family, financial problems, legal issues, and job loss due to excessive loss or debt, increased crime rates and eventually committing suicide,” stressing “That most players prefer betting through their mobile phones instead of visiting retail outlets in order to evade control and regulations.”

What could be the solution to a case of gambling when pose to you in this alarming manner?

For this cases I have seen more than enough to know that this particular matter is one that is on-going and is really hard to stop because addiction affects the minds of the gambler and that's what makes them behave the way they  do because every little thing agitates them. The way an addicted person misbehave is something that is surprising because they tend to forget everything about their domestic household and sometimes even their children and spouse too and the violence really never stops until they get the help they need.

A gambling addict poses a serious threat to society since, in his hands, even his family's well-being is at risk; he is unable to listen to others around him when they complain about their uncontrollably extravagant spending. Some individuals view gambling as a place where they can come, bet, and win once; they don't know any better; knowledge is everything. However, some people believe that because gamblers are also humans, this will prevent them from being successful. Despite all of that, many people who are addicted to gambling get domesticated, but they will still never give up.

Yes, especially when the addicted person is a teenager who generally depends on parental resources to keep playing games.
When there is no control over what is spent, generally the monthly allowance will not be enough to support the addiction and as a consequence the person will steal from their parents or even try to sell family belongings to get more money and this will certainly create a very tense within the family.

I've also read reports of husband and wife fighting over gambling, in which the man spent all her savings and still used her credit card, after a fight the woman was stabbed.

Gambling addiction can be as dangerous as alcohol or another illicit drug when it is out of control in a person's mind, so it needs to be treated so that it does not reach the point of becoming a threat to another person's integrity.

It's quite a disappointment that most gamblers forget so soon about the love they once shared with their family. How on earth would a gambler who because he lost some money, turn against his family and begin to share some ill treatment with them. The player also puts them into pains like himself. I realized that those who are in pains also want others to undergo similar pains. However, losing money consistently can be very disturbing to the emotions of the gambler, but that's not to such extent of causing some domestic violence. If the person only has a bit of rethink or control, he wouldn't have himself put anyone else under pains. That's just a continuation of anger leading to an emotional trauma. A problem that can be avoided with some self-control, but the gambler has already lost his control in gambling and can't hold any other thing in his life, including his anger.

Gambling addiction can indeed trigger domestic violence if the financial condition in the family is not controlled and cannot meet life's needs. Even a wife is are required to be able to do it money so that basic needs can be met and sufficient while the husband has fun gambling and if he experiences continuous losses and This can lead to addiction instead of realizing it, instead blaming other people for the losses they themselves experience, and if they have experienced an addiction, they become more uncontrolled and easily emotional and can lead to domestic violence.

Addiction is indeed common in society, but not everyone commits domestic violence, only certain irresponsible people commit violence like that, the rest they can only mourn their fate and continue to do it continuously. Because of the large number of cases of domestic violence that have occurred because of gambling, many people think that gambling can trigger this, even though it depends on the characteristics of the gambler, whether they are able to control themselves when they enter the world of gambling or not.

If there is a gambling addict in a house, it is only a matter of time before his family members will get into trouble with that gambling addict, especially if the gambling addict cannot control himself when gambling. He may ask for money from his family members and he may even commit violence against his family members so that he can have money to gamble. Unfortunately, oppressed family members cannot do anything other than obey the gambling addict's wishes because they will be afraid and traumatized by the violence committed by the gambling addict. If they have the power to fight gambling addicts, they can help gambling addicts realize their mistakes and advise them to cure their gambling addiction so that they can truly recover from their gambling addiction. It was a serious matter for his family, so they had to pay attention to each other as family members.

Regardless of the form of addiction, addiction in itself is a bad act that should be discouraged in it entirety. Addict generally react to things differently and their negative attitude towards life, finance and their family members might result in domestic violence which could to abuse on family members.

Because most addicted gamblers want to win by all means, they might go to the extent of using the reserve funds meant for the up keep of the home in gambling and if that doesn't go down well with their partners it becomes a problem in the home that might lead to violence.

Gambling is supposed to serve the purpose of win and a bit of financial aid. It's not a job and shouldn't be seen as a means fir financial liberation. Gamble with you head and sense.

Every addiction will lead to bad actions whatever the form, it can be theft, violence or suicide, that's because families who know that a family member is addicted will try to help him so that he can recover from his addiction, so it's not just addiction from gambling but all forms of addiction, it's just that often people think gambling addiction is the worst when it's not entirely accurate.

every addiction is the result of an inability to control oneself, so it is impossible for people who are addicted to be able to control themselves, but family or people closest to them will see the signs of addiction so they can start taking action so that the form of addiction does not get worse.

Sure. gambling addiction can lead to domestic violence, in the sense that most Gamblers have that characteristics of pouring their aggression of lost into family and friends. So Many gambler play games as if their life depends on it, and if the game don't play as expected, they transfer the aggression to anybody that comes their way. Some father's transfer their aggression of lost games to their wife or children always quarrelling with the wife and beating the children due to minimal issues.

I have one neighbour that has that behaviour, he Is a perfect match of your discripancy. Early morning he would move from the house without giving money to the wife for feeding, he would go and stay in a casino hall all day and come back late and when his wife will ask or complain of keeping late nights,he will emidiately start beating her and he will be demanding for food without dropping any money. Do you see how some men can be wicked? Spending money in casino which he doesn't even win. But find it difficult to settle his family. So we should be careful how we handle our family matters because our family is our joy or home. and not to be taken for granted and taking outsiders as our family. So I believe that gambling addict always involves in domestic violence.

Because a gambler's lack of self-control makes them fall into trouble due to their addictive behavior and it is very difficult to stop because it is ingrained in them, an addicted person can do anything that makes people around them suffer.


What you say is true, many husbands who are addicted to gambling demand that their wives work to meet their family's needs and this is because their family's financial condition is already unstable due to mistakes on the husband's part.
Yes, that's right, not all gamblers will commit acts of domestic violence, only gamblers who are irresponsible and have serious addictions will do it.

His family had begun to recognize signs of change in him after he started gambling. There will be clearly visible signs, but the gambler will try to hide them from the people around him so that there are no questions from them. Unfortunately, many families do not respond to these signs and start letting it go until the gambler finally starts to show different behavior than usual. This should start to provide questions for family members to ask the gambler immediately so they can find out what is going on. And when they don't get an answer from the gambler, they can approach the gambler to find out more closely. This problem of gambling addiction can cause big problems for the family when there is violence in the household, which may not be avoidable. And if that happens, the family should immediately seek professional help to try to cure it.

Gambling addiction whatever its form, will give the impact on psychological conditions. The obvious impact is impulsive and aggressive behavior. Impulsive is a behavior carried out without thinking, for example taking goods then the goods are sold to get money for gambling. While aggressive is to be someone who is emotional, irritable, violent and hostile to the environment or sometimes can be excessive paranoid.
This online gambling is the same as an addictive substance that makes you want to always come back and always feel dependent. If you have been trapped in and play, a feeling that will be difficult to fight will emerge. You will always feel you need to play gambling and will feel sick if you don't play gambling. Addicted to online gambling, Gambling Disorder. If you have entered far playing gambling, you will be very focused on the world, then you might be an obsessive person. When you have obsession, you will ignore the people closest to you, such as your partner, child, friends, family. If it's like this, then your relationship with the people around it can be foundered and destroyed.
Indeed online gambling can also have a negative impact on the household, including:
1. Husband is not responsible.
Because of this, they will focus on playing gambling rather than taking care of their families. This causes family absence.
2. Family finance is chaotic.
Because basically people who are already gambling addicts will tend to spend a lot of money to play gambling, so that it can cause family finances to be chaotic. This causes quarrels and conflicts in the household.
3. The household becomes no longer harmonious.
Prolonged quarrels and conflicts can cause the household not harmonious and can lead to divorce.

Not only that, gambling addiction also caused many negative impacts for the gambling addict. First can interfere with mental health, trigger criminal acts, improve suicide conditions due to frustration, and many more negative effects if you play gambling.

Maybe not always, but sometimes, it's true, and that is because they reach the level of addiction where they lose the ability to think and make sensible decisions, and when they don't have money to gamble anymore, they can do anything to get some money that they can use to continue their gambling.
I remember an incident that was discussed here in the forum where a grandpa kidnapped his granddaughter so that he could get ransom money from his son/daughter that he would use to pay his debts and gamble with the rest of the money.

Fortunately, he was caught but incidents like these show us how gambling addiction can lead one to do evil things just so that they can continue their gambling activities. So, it's true that a gambling addict can be a threat to a society.

Can you give a reference link to this story because this is satanic level of gambling addiction. Resorting to this kind of violence is already off the chart compared to family violence inside the house because you will never know what will the grandpa can do to the child if the ransom money is not paid just because the son trust fully his father that he will not hurt the grandchild which is not the case for a people with extreme addiction like this.

Does the grandpa was caught by the police or he voluntary surrender after realization of what he did? The most grave result of gambling that I witness is just a broken marriage and not to this level which the same family member kidnap his own grandchild.

           -   I seem to have read in many articles that a gambler was led to do a violent thing just because of the size of his loss in gambling. Some of them have killed people; others have been held hostage by other people just to follow their passion for gambling.

Such scenarios are that they can no longer control themselves because of the addiction they have in their personality as gamblers. And that kind of situation is so scary that it should be taken care of immediately.

That's true because gambling can make someone change their attitudes and behavior, and also gambling can make them emotional and cause a lot of problems, including domestic violence. I'm sure someone who is married and addicted to gambling will definitely occasionally even have problems with their finances, because with someone who is addicted to gambling, of course when they have money they will only think about gambling, maybe if they think about their family it will only be a small percentage.

It's true what you said, someone who is addicted to gambling will not easily be able to listen to other people, even if the advice is for their own good. That's what I applaud, those who are addicted to gambling and have clearly experienced many losses but they still never give up by gambling, in other words they have a strong ambition to win, but what is clear is that victory cannot be obtained easily. and I think the ambition they have is misplaced, because being strong only leads them to things that don't benefit them.

I've seen such case even in my society. There are some people, who are always keep doing something that doesn't makes scene but they keep doing that. And as a gambler, they are more dangerous. Domestic violence occurs when a gambler don't have enough money to cover/manage gambling, that time a gambler become turn into aggressive mood and He/she doesn't hasitate to make domestic violence, force selling Value things in cheap price what available in house including furniture, computer, jerallery and so on. Some people use gambling as luck changer and they promise to keep doing gambling until they found any jackpot that could change their life! But even after making money, they keep gambling and keep losing more. But not all Gamblers are same, i also have many Gambler who stop gambling when they are out of money and keep silence until they can arrange money in decent ways.

All the things mentioned in your first paragraph area actually the sad reality of things a s not something we would think if the actually really did happened but then it's not encouraged as it never a good reason to go violent to the point where you have to lose certain valuable things before you get to realize the stupidity in the gambling addiction which has been the  reason you engaged in an unhealthy habit to the point you lost all that was lost.

Definitely it's mostly addicts that get to behave in such manner after they must have suffered losses because a normal gambler will not get to such point altho there are some persons who has naturally got anger issues and so they are not able to handle it by their selves all the time so they tend to get aggressive especially if it happens that loosing funds could actually get to be a trigger to them but in. Situation where they are addicted and aswell has got anger management issues they should be avoided in such State and probably help them get help so they don't end up doing things they may get to regret thereafter.

Sometimes helping such persons can actually be really difficult but then the fact still remains in the fact that they need help else they may not be able to handle the situation all alone nd they may get to end up loosing their mind and get to hurt others of which it could be avoided even before it happens, gambling is usually supposed to be for fun but beyond that such person should be mindful not to suffer the detriment of gambling.

That's it, all the energy in the player would be directed to gambling. When a person is aggressively chasing on those wins he's expected to slowly expect results. Not making a huge win immediately. Gamblers need to figure out this troubles and learn from others. In most cases a family would be struggling to change their ward. Hence, causing a big argument between the player and his loved ones. Which is not a good idea for anyone.

Those troubles could increase, affecting more the peace of the home negatively. Since the players wouldn't think of quiting the game. Hence gamblers who are having a hard time accepting responsible gambling are indeed going to face multiple troubles in the process. It's better to argue with one's family on a stable state of mind than engaging in the argument after losing a lot in gambling. It will easily swing the mood of such gambler and lead to a more severe misunderstanding.

Gamblers have an interest in winning. No one wants to lose and no one wants to have an end. If a gambler says that if he hits the jackpot in gambling he will give up gambling, I disagree with those gamblers, rather those gamblers will gamble more. As he earns more money, his demand will also increase. Moreover, it is possible to get a sound opinion on this subject only by considering the condition of those who got the jackpot. Have they quit gambling or are they busy creating more income opportunities from more gambling? But if a gambler is wise he will want to use his winnings for some good purpose especially investing in business or something else so that he doesn't run out of money in his gambling or later life. But I have heard many cases where people who win big start taking gambling more seriously.

When I came across this type and read the thread, I just smiled. This is actually a true-life story about how gambling addiction can destroy a home, not just the violence.
Years passed when my dad was very much into coupon, a gambling game. He came home one day and told my mom about someone who sells vegetables wholesale because my mom deals in vegetables. This woman gave her husband almost all her money that faithful day to help her purchase it; unfortunately, my dad used the money for gambling in the hope of doubling it before the vegetable woman could come around,but he was so unfortunate that day that he lost that game and the money was gone. That very night was a war zone for both of them. First, he pretended to be sick to avoid questioning how funny that sounds for a mature man to do, but he did it, but that did not save him. It took the grace of God for my mom to forgive him because her business was down for a while.

Gambling addiction is actually one of the worst things that can happen to someone.

Gambling affects one's energy negatively, especially when one is losing. His emotional status will definitely be affected, as will his sense of reasoning, which will lead to misunderstandings between the man and woman, which, if not controlled, will lead to a very big disaster. They will hardly be seen at home because there's always a new match to predict. 

Gambling addiction can lead to serious domestic violence in so many ways, when a gambler is an addict and the family knows that he is an addict and he does not provide for the family definitely it will end up to violence. Any addicted gambler does not care for the family instead he spent most of his time in the casino house trying or finding the best strategy to gamble. They place their interest and attention on gambling , thereby neglecting their family roles and responsibility .

for instance i have once witnessed a domestic violence where the man finished his salary in the casino house gambling and including his son's school fees  and the wife got angry and it resulted to serious fight between the man and the wife. Too much of everything they said is bad not only in gambling but being an addict invariably implies that your gambling life has gone worst and there is virtually no easy way to control your emotion as far as gambling is concerned. so i will advice we control our emotions when it comes to gambling so as to avoid any form of violence .

I mean you could put this same scenario in many different circumstances and they end up turning out to being a “source of violence “ or “domestic violence”.  So I wouldn’t say it’s something that is directly correlated but it certainly could lead to it, but so could a lot of other things. Just don’t be a gambling junky and control yourself and all will be fine, no?

Many incidents like this have occurred in our environment, when gamblers who have experienced serious addiction in their lives do not hesitate to commit acts of violence in their environment, especially in their family environment.
And these acts of violence are carried out in various forms, some in the form of minor crimes, or very large ones and even crimes. Yes, there are also gamblers who, when they win a big jackpot, immediately stop because they have very good awareness, but there are also gamblers who don't want to stop after getting a big win because they still lack proper awareness in actual gambling.

what you say is very likely to happen. but still, it is related to the character of the gambling addict. Addiction has a more negative impact on the addict himself and also the people around him. It is very possible that violence could occur in an addict's household if there is a mistake in handling this matter.
assuming the family already knows about the bad gambling activities being carried out. it is important for family members to take appropriate action. because addicts who receive pressure will act outside their habits. some may become more irritable and irritable. but there are also those who end up being more silent and running away from any activity.
I just hope something like that doesn't happen to us and all of our families.

     -     We have heard of many people who ended up with violent results because of gambling in the casino, others even managed to kidnap their own family just because of their addiction to gambling. Others ended up with a suicidal ending because of the large amount of money they lost in gambling.

These are just some of the negative effects on other gamblers if they do not manage themselves correctly in gambling. so we should just learn to be careful and responsible gamblers when we enter the field industry like this.

that's true, once a person falls under the influence of gambling addiction, they are no longer in the right frame of mind and they no longer know each other properly, even if they try not to follow those who whisper to them, they cannot stop it, so the ending is they do bad things especially to people close to them. It's just sad because sometimes even if they try to stop whatever bad things are running through their minds, they can't do it anymore because they are in a bad situation, so it's really necessary that we have guidance especially if we enter into this kind of gambling, it's necessary we can handle ourselves especially our emotional state so that we don't end up in this situation.

This can be the reason why it is difficult for someone to recover from gambling addiction because as you said above, they have entered a strange frame of mind or their mindset is different from normal people usually where they have curiosity, hopes and beliefs that are different from people in general in gambling, They are very confident that one day they will succeed in winning a very large victory that can make them a rich man, even though it is a wrong mindset which is actually nothing more than an illusion due to excessive expectations of victory in gambling, when in fact it remains that the name of victory is always nothing more than a “chance” which means “possibility” which is not based on any certainty and guarantee.

Another problem is that sometimes gamblers do not realize that they have entered the addiction phase, they are not able to identify changes in their approach to gambling which can cause problems when you mention or say that they have entered the addiction phase and this is also one of the reasons why addiction is difficult to overcome because sometimes they do not realize that they are addicted which makes them unwilling to accept some good advice from those around them who actually want to help them.

We are able to speak like this when we are already in a phase where we are able to control ourselves or in a state of mind and heart calm, not easily provoked and we walk according to the flow of what we have set before, but most gamblers the fact they follow what is in their hearts or their ambitions that make the brain does not work properly to digest everything actions that are more dominant in controlled by ambition or lust. They need time to learn not to be compulsive and impulsive so that addiction does not occur in us sir, unfortunately many people do not pay attention to this and play more randomly without thinking about anything so that they end up becoming an addict, and it will bring side effects that make our emotions bad and hurt people around or make ourselves become someone who commits other violence because of uncontrollable emotions.

This is why it is good that gamblers should only see gamble as a means of fun, and not to make profit in order for them to take all from of precautions to gamble responsible. Using small amount of money to gamble is the best solution to avoid one to be affected by his emotions. When you are affected y your emotions that can make the gambler do all sort of crazy things to enable him chase his losses. Chasing of losses can lead to frustration because you cannot win back your loss, and that might make the gambler to be violent. Gamble responsible and there will be no means of violence.

Any addiction could lead to violence, when a person is addicted to something they couldn't think or act properly.
They would do anything to satisfy their addiction, some would do illegal activity or commit a crime just to have money to continue or satisfy their addiction.

A gambling addict does not prevent a person from committing heinous acts. so of course gambling addiction can have a negative impact on relationships and it can also break someone's relationship and it lead to domestic violence. It is possible to protect yourself from gambling addiction if you keep yourself under control. Gambling is not bad as long as it is limited to fun. But when it becomes an addiction and one becomes deeply addicted to it, it is very harmful for him. and then it hurts him in many ways besides money

the story of grandfathers kidnapping their grandchildren just to get ransom for gambling is quite crazy. just imagine a grandfather kidnapping his grandson just to get ransom money for gambling? i didn't know that gambling addiction could lead to crazy things like this, because someone who was supposed to protect his grandson from bad people actually committed a dishonorable act against his own grandson.

this also proves why gambling can be something that makes people commit crazy actions and not care about how they can get money for their gambling, the point is that they get money and can gamble with it.

Gambling addiction can lead to many violent situations apart from the domestic violence itself, addiction makes you go for more and any behaviour that push you to do things that are abnormal can lead you to acting as an abnormal person, you have said it all @ op, domestic violence is caused by different things like husband or wife unusual act, just imagine a man or woman making use of money thats meant for the family important use, what do you expect to happen if any of the party gets to find out that such incident taken place, there may be abusive words that can lead to fight in the family.

I condemn addiction totally and every gambler needs to be careful so that they will not be in this kind of position, addiction has rendered many persons useless because of their inability to know what to do at the right time, I somuch believe that if we know when to say no, gambling addiction will not be a nightmare to gamblers.

Domestic violence is what happens when two parties in a relationship lacks mutual understanding, of which gambling addiction is one phenomenon likely to make a man lack such mutual understanding in his family (i.e after he may have gambled and lost away huge sum he can't afford to lose). Because although generally speaking, gambling is not the only vices likely to cause domestic violence, as it has been proven that other forms of addiction, such as "Alcohol, Cigarette, Cocaine and Tobacco" can also cause domestic violence among parties either within and outside the family. Which is why as we strive to minimize the rate at which people gamble, let's not forget these other vices.

Addicted gamblers always have transgression of anger so with that it is possible that he can have a domestic violent with either his wife, friends and other members in the gambling centers. Mostly when he loss big amount of money in online gambling then he will use that anger to quarrel with any come across him at that moment. And in most cases though not all, addicted gamblers are also in drugs.
And those who are gambling and also taking drugs see themselves fighting unnecessary fights with people unknowingly.

Of course, families don't want to see their family members in problems such as addiction, because this is a serious problem that can destroy their lives and there is even a possibility that it could end their lives because there are also cases that have occurred with those who committed suicide due to addiction. gamble. When one of the family members is in trouble, of course the other family members will help them as best they can, but in my environment there are some families who really prioritize their egos, where they don't want to help other family members, especially in financial matters. This is very sad, but it can't be hidden from everyone that money issues are very sensitive.

I agree with you of course that if they are addicted then it can have an impact on their family relationships or the peace of their family. where maybe those who are addicted can act rashly towards their family members, because I think when they become addicted to gambling of course they will have a more stubborn attitude, and where when they have run out of money to gamble maybe they can force the money to other family members . The changes that will occur with the perpetrator of this addiction could be worse if they just leave it alone, but there are families who don't dare to reprimand the perpetrator of their addiction because they have a stubborn nature.

There is what we call micro aggression, it stays in our unconscious state of mind and it could be triggered if one experiences any kind of loss and that is one big reason why most addicts or ordinary people that gamble when they loss they tend to transfer aggression on people who are not the cause.

I have witnessed a gambler fight the manager of a local bet shop (not necessarily a casino) as response to his stimulus, I'm always very careful with people who loss not just in gambling but anything in life. Psychologically every human has a micro anger in them but it's ones responsibility to manage and/or control them, if you can do that then no matter your loses you will never go into fight with anyone.

In the issue of can gambling and drug addicts it seems to me that in characteristics of a drug addicts is gambling addiction, it more like the go together or intertwine. You rarely see a drug addict who is not a gambler and you rarely see a gambling addict who is not a drug addict it's just confusing characteristics. Anyways the rules in casinos are against fighting so here in my locals if you fight you got to jail simple but sometimes it doesn't work because the police are biased in their call of duty.

Well, I think it depends on the individuals character, there are gamblers who would miss winning a huge sum of money but won't transfer aggression to their spouse or family also there are others who are too quick to anger and would pick offense at every slightest provocation, no when they lose a huge sum of money they could transfer aggression to their wife and kids and even carry out domestic violence on their spouse most times.

 it depends on an individuals personality, some people could barely control their anger and would always transfer aggression even while they're at fault, it's not like gambling led them to treat people that way, but it's just their personality and they use their lose from gambling as an opportunity to hurt people, also I put it to you that their are still people who barely lose often but are still prone to anger, therefore I think it all depends on the individuals personality.

Perhaps you're correct and I also mentioned it above that it's the ability to control this micro aggression that makes aot of seems responsible to some extent. It's not just an individual thing but it's a scientifically researched result what humans have a mini aggression in them but it from ones childhood that such attributes are put to control by parents.

Perhaps, a lot of people do not know how to handle anger or issues which makes them attack whatever that stands in front of them, be it family, friends etc that is why anger management is a big discussion in every sectors hence it builds and also ruins people's life's. All we have to do is try as much as possible to learn the best of them all on how much control our anger even if there is a trigger to it.

You are absolutely right because aggressive behavior is associated with gambling addiction. This aggressive behavior can sometimes manifest as domestic violence. He does not have to lose big amount of money before being aggressive. One thing that is certain about gambling addict is that each time they want to gamble, until they lose everything at their disposal, they will not be able to stop.

I can only imagine what the combination of drugs and gambling addiction will do to an individual. There is no way to predict what such person will be able to do especially when he loses his money and needed to take those drugs.

Overall and in common sense I think it is quite reasonable to say that there is a high possibility for an addicted gambler to abuse one of his family members such as his wife or child, but maybe yes this is also quite dependent on the person because it cannot be denied that there may be some addicted gamblers who have a patient personality and can still control their emotions, but yes we cannot rule out another fact that there will always be addicted gamblers who cannot hold their emotions especially when they experience defeat which makes them really feel devastated.

On the other hand, to be honest, lately I also often see couples who divorce and the cause is that one of them is involved in gambling which has entered the addiction phase which as we know that addiction can cause a lot of problems, if you are married then most likely treating gambling in an excessive manner as is done by addicted gamblers will certainly cause problems with finances in your family where most likely you will have difficulty making ends meet which usually situations like this can cause arguments between you and your partner to violence.

A man that is aggressive in nature will always want to hide under anger management. Everyone that gambles get hurt when they lose but the sensible ones doesn't go to an extent to hurt themselves or anyone around them and that's because they see gambling as a luck even if you have the skills to make predictions, everything you do is entirely dependent on the outcome, so when you see a man beat his spouse hidding under anger transgressions need to be arrested.

I don't think a man who bet responsibly is supposed to be angry for losing a bets, if you bets with the amount you know confidently that you can let's go, even if you lose, you wouldn't get angry because I see no reason why a grown up person will be angry over amount that can't get you an expensive meal.

Yes, but not all addicted gamblers have the same anger or overflowing anger that involves everyone in their own gambling mistakes, the gambling he does is clearly his own fault if he involves everyone who meets him and being rude means there is something wrong with him. There is also someone who is addicted to gambling who chooses to remain silent and mourn his fate rather than take it out on anyone for his losses because he cannot return the money he has lost and also cannot change anything so we cannot use the reason for addiction as domestic violence because I think addiction It doesn't cause that if a gambler can accept whatever outcome they get, whether they lose or win.

It is true that addiction can trigger a person to commit violence, but in fact it is his true attitude that is not yet visible, so gambling shows his true nature where he cannot control his emotions and patience so he takes it out on his children and wife at home. If it is like this, of course it will later cause regret for the addict himself. if they realize that their actions were wrong because their children and wife left him due to his addiction and caused violence.
