There is definitely some influence on the Gambling either be it moderate or sevear but please do remember that to make these things quite big the influence does need varied environmental factors, any genetic trait needs environmental factors to express itself, therefore if your parents are gamblers and you grew up to think that it was a normal thing then chances are, you would be a Gambler as well.

Gambling is further expressed in certain conditions like OCD, ADHD so the genetic influence can be indirect as well, which does mean that you can get therapy, you can get treatment as well, it's not that weirdly organized in your DNA. I do think the environmental factors are much more concerning than the genetic ones.

I know we are greatly influenced by the environment we are born into and sometimes become gamblers because of where we find ourselves, i also considered the possibility of gambling being hereditary and found out that it is also possible, that is gambling can be hereditary ,

Gambling is linked to a gene that is passed on through generations and a new study claims that it is passed on to both sons and daughters alike.

now come to think of it since it is difficult to escape our genetic makeup,
- Would you blame an individual who becomes addicted to gambling because it is wired to his DNA?

-Can their gambling problem be put in check by regular methods?

-Will the addiction be worse than someone who picked up the habit?

This is a difficult question, and the answer is likely to be different in each unique case. It is clear that all people have a hereditary predisposition to something and a social one (if their environment where they grow up is involved in something they will be involved in it). But still, if a person reaches some minimal level of intellectual development and if it is not too late, then he can get rid of bad habits/predispositions and manage his life himself.

These days gambling have turned to be a part of one's hobby. This is the reason we can see majority of common people who are little knowledged about technology are into gambling. Another important reason for the increased participation into gambling by the present generation is through the advertisement broadcast on the television. This doesn't have anything with the inheritance.

I agree with your first reason that technology in this generation is one of the reasons why gambling is becoming a hobby, the internet and smartphones are available to everyone who can find information can be provided, just like visiting websites and installing mobile gambling-related games and applications. But an advertisement that can be broadcast on television is vague because as far as I know, there are laws that prohibit it. It just depends on the policy of the country's ministry.

I see that in the most country advertising of gambling is illegal, also, another tragedy is that it's so easy to access in gambling online today, you need only a smartphone as you said. The part that worries me more is that

casino that doesn't apply KYC can let allow to kid under18 to submit their bets without any issue, and this is really a bad thing, from this part casino should raise their efforts to avoid it.

I would say its probably got less to do with inherited gambling and more with a genetic disposition to hormonal disbalances in the brain. And the same goes with drug addiction, alcohol addiction, nicotine addiction, food addiction and any sort of addiction in which the brain is stimulated with dopamine/seratonin/Etc.

So basically if your dopamine recepters did not develop as expected for a healthy human, then obviously there will be problems. These types of people should stay away from anything that can be addictive. Especially gambling.

Hard to do, seeing as many things in this world can create an addiction....

They might easily influence by their parent's behavior but when they get old they have their own choice whether they continue to mimic their parent's hobbies or not. But most of the time when they get addicted to certain hobbies whether good or bad, it's really hard to resist avoiding it and not doing it. People need to completely change their environments and they also need to stop accompanying people who used to influence them to gamble or do things that are not good. That's why it's really good to consider moving from the usual place where the bad habits are getting triggered to avoid returning back to the things you get addicted to.

According to my perception i don’t think it’s anything genetic. Suppose, gambling is legalized in a family that means someone in the particular family can gamble freely, then it is very simple for any child born in that family to grow up and become addicted to gambling. There are many people whose parents or family members do not gamble but one of the persons of that family become addicted to gambling. So I would never call it inheritance. I would blame it only on his environment where gambling is used normally.

[Cling18]

Gambling isn't hereditary but we can influence our family members especially if gambling is already part of our daily routine. For example, a father who is into cock fighting and will always ask his son to feed his roosters, I'm sure that the father could influence his son to gamble because of their lifestyle. However, a son can have a choice of whether to follow in his father's footsteps or not. Gambling doesn't run in the blood.

[acroman08]

- Would you blame an individual who becomes addicted to gambling because it is wired to his DNA?

yes, I mean, just because it can be passed down through genes does not mean you would become a gambling addict. becoming addicted to gambling(or to anything) would most likely take time even if you have a higher chance of becoming addicted because of your gene.

-Can their gambling problem be put in check by regular methods?

pretty sure it can. I don't really see any reason why it wouldn't work for them.

-Will the addiction be worse than someone who picked up the habit?

I don't know.

Maybe it was because of someone's curiosity that made him sink into gambling even deeper that it looked like it was hereditary when it wasn't. But if a father who likes to gamble shows his gambling activity, his son can be curious and maybe he will ask his friends what his father is doing. Sooner or later, he will try to find out more, which can lead him to start gambling. No one knows if the father and son played gambling because each of them hid their activities. But there is also someone who likes to gamble even though neither father nor other family members play gambling. So gambling is not necessarily because of hereditary.

Yes, because inheritance occurs when parents give something whatever it is to children with the message conveyed, but gambling is different. They or their parents play gambling, then the children see and then imitate the gambling activity itself, which means that there is no inheritance whatsoever and there is no genetic gambling. This case is purely an activity that occurs in the surrounding environment so that children do it too, and therefore I agree that gambling that grows in a family is not inherited and also not genetic.

I also don't believe with the inheritance factor to be addicted in gambling. It is more on the environment where you grew up. Because I have seen a lot of people who hate gambling because their parents are gamblers. So they want to change their lives for the better and don't want to follow the footsteps of their parents. So for me, it depends on the person himself. It is not about genetic.

however many experts argue that genetic factors can greatly influence a person to become an addict, any addict including gambling.  although what you say can be justified. a person who has inherited the gambler's gene can also refuse not to gamble this is normal and there are many reasons one of the examples you have mentioned. environment, education, intellectuals also play an important role. back on the topic of this thread, I don't think this conclusion is absolute.

[TheGreatPython]

I think it's not specifically gambling that is inherited but it's about the mentality or how they think because being smart/intelligent can also be inherited but it's 100 percent true that if you live or grow in place where gambling is rampant, you will adopt a gambler's habit.

- Would you blame an individual who becomes addicted to gambling because it is wired to his DNA?
- Can their gambling problem be put in check by regular methods?
- Will the addiction be worse than someone who picked up the habit?

• It was the individual that will question himself on why he became an addict and when he found out that it can be hereditary he will blame his parents or their ancestors. For us, it's wrong to put a blame on someone else without knowing the real story first.
• Why not? It might be hereditary but there are hereditary conditions that are being cured permanently by applying the known methods that exist today.
• It can be but it's also possible for them to rework their mentality to not become an addicted gambler.

Well we cannot argue in science the finding is not familiar to many of us, but it's good prevention for parents who were once hooked on gambling, it will not harm us if we take these findings and I agree that surroundings and role models are the easiest path to becoming a gambling addict but the findings is another option for people to look on why people become addicted to gambling.

If parents can explain the dangers of gambling to their children and don't show that their parents are gamblers in front of their children, perhaps their children will not try to approach gambling. But unfortunately, many parents show it in front of their children and even openly play dice gambling at home. This triggers their children's curiosity to try to play with their friends and in the end, they keep playing until they are adults. And this is what makes many adult children continue to play gambling and invite their friends from the same environment.

[YOSHIE]

now come to think of it since it is difficult to escape our genetic makeup,

Although genetic inheritance which is a daily habit or trait carried out by his father, not all children are dominant to his father, his mother also inherits genes much better than his father, Although his father was a gambling addict, a small percentage of him inherited the traits, intelligence and habits of his father, more to the character of his mother.

If his mother was a gambling addict, that was more dangerous.

Of course there are some cases, there is a saying that 'a coconut doesn't fall far from the stem' which means, there are some children whose father's genes tend to be almost 99% of their father's, if his father is a gambling addict, Surely the child has the same nature and behavior as his father, who must be blamed, of course, the child's father, things like this will certainly cause big problems for the mentality of the child himself, the child's addiction to gambling is greater than that of his father and anyone else.

But in cases such as genetics inherited by both parents, the intelligence of the child affects the mother's chromosome 2x more intelligently than the father's, although the father of a child gambling addict can think of the best for himself, not many cases of gambling are based on genetic inheritance, which is worse promiscuity.

The question is whether parents want  their child is involved in gambling or do excessive gambling? I think that gambling is such a game that even though parents play it themselves, they do not want their children to inherit this habit. However, if you play openly then children will watch you gamble and they will develop an interest in this. If you want that your children do not inherit this gambling habit, you should not gamble in front of your children.
