Gambling is a choice.

[xSkylarx]

We have the choice of making decisions of what we want and what we don't want. There are many ways to make decisions in especially choosing the kind of bet we want to go for base on our experience and interest. We should always make decisions on going bets that will give us profits and not make us lose big when we gamble.

Some gamblers are influenced and they don't chose gambling naturally. Either influenced by parents as a child or influenced by friends or peer groups as a youth. Even if you are not directly influenced, the activities happening in your environment will greatly impact you.
It is only few that makes the decision of betting by themselves. Note that when you are lured into betting in the early time, whatever decisions you are making will feel original to you but they are still influenced.
For Op, what you explained above is fraud and it is greed that leads to such type of fraud.

Being influenced in doing gambling activities by someone close to you is very possible and might cause the start of being a gambler but also remember casino that offers a very good offer to start your gambling journey. There are also social media influencers that promotes gambling games. In fact there are streamers in my country that don't really promote casinos but today so many online game streamers in my country is promoting it because of a hefty pay by casinos. So many people including minors are drawn into gambling which alarmed our government but sadly, even if the casino is now closed because of not abiding the law, the influencers promoted it didn't even experience jail time.

There is more to this than you know, some gambling influencers are not into gambling, and I have heard that online casinos pay better money to influencers to advertise their platform on their channel and social media for them, not all influencers are into the game themselves, they are doing this in the most safety way, they don't gamble but they make money from spreading gambling information, and most winnings from them are not real, mostly they are not the real players.

There is a lot of doubts and controversy for the gambling influencers but I think that most of them to be avid gamblers as by playing gambling all that time you stream through your channels it is only normal for such persons to be attracted to try gambling themselves.I agree most of their winnings are not real as most people even super rich ones do not bet with 10.000 dollars per a single bet but yeah they do a great job to big casinos and casinos pay them hefty commissions if they put their referral links there for people to join such casinos.

I also believe the same, also if they are influencers and have a community it is very easy for them to make money quickly and that same money is given to the community just by following them, liking them, being on their streaming, all these things are like that, lkos influencers make a living by saying and doing a lot of Nonsense, but they are very stupid to play, what some of them do is take advantage of all these things, that's why I don't follow any type of influencers because for me what they always do is look for Money with their direction of doing things on the Web , things that as I said before I find to be quite silly , plus they don't Know how to play in Casinos.

If it is for fun, then I think it is good, but when it comes to things that they are advertising, that is really when I start to unfollow those influencers, as I am always thinking that they are just after the money of the audience and get pissed. We have almost the same perspective, but I do follow influencers that give me more knowledge and are at the same time fun, so if I need to relax, I watch their videos. But because of the recent promotion that those influencers have done, adding gambling videos to their videos and putting videos that they are playing and winning, it attracts people to sign up under them, meaning they earn a lot of money, and they don't say the risk or anything, meaning they don't care about their viewers.

But if they're only aiming to make a quick buck, it might not last long unless what they say in their videos can help their followers earn a lot. It will make the followers believe and follow what the influencer says. But as we know, not many influencers can provide correct info because most of them just want to make fast money, which makes many of them fail to get more followers and make money. We also have to be careful in following these influencers and filter what they say and if possible, we have to find other info to support what we want.

Someone who promotes a service or a platform that is still legal within the country he lives in isn't lawfully punishable even if it's done for money or for free. So I don't think that influencers or anyone who promoted gambling or gambling platforms until it was legal and they were openly operating are in any way on the verge of getting jail time or any other punishment.

You are right that a lot of people start gambling only after getting influenced by someone else that is either someone close to them or someone they admire or watch and follow on the internet like all the so-called social media influencers.

For the fact that gambling help eas some pain and passing out time it's become important that it becomes legalized but why most countries are against gambling is mainly because of its high addiction as it may bet some players tucked for life and end up struggling with that addiction for. Aveeyy a long time with its negative effects on the financial and general well-being of the victim.
But aside from that, I don't see anything bad with gambling and if one can properly manage it at the individual level everything will be fine.

Gambling is a personal choice; not everyone enjoys the act of gambling, and some go so far as to develop addictions. It is our priority to generate earnings for ourselves, especially independently; most teenagers are addicted to gambling, which is causing them to become buried in debt. I've seen several instances where people who are addicted are humiliated and have their crucial assets confiscated. Gambling is for our extra money, not for our budgets. I admit to engaging in gambling on rare occasions, and I keep track of how much I spend on it, I urged the youth to use caution when gaming.

Gambling has different ways of use. For someone it is a way to get some profit, maybe even main income. For someone it is a way to get some emotions. But there are some people that can`t control themselves and lose all their money in gambling. But we mustn`t restrict gambling due to such gamblers. I think that it is a type of illness and they have to visit some psychologist probably.

Most of them are just trying to make money and they are just using their social popularity to bring people to the site and make a decent amount once the followers start engaging and deposit funds. They don't care about what will happen next as for them it's a quick and easy way to make money and nothing else matters.

You are right better to sort those influencers and try to do your part of researching and studying other information before jumping in
to avoid losing your money.

Doesnt really need to think up advanced or way too complicated about on how things works but rather just making use of your own common sense would tell you on what are their primary motives
of these influencers on which they would really be making money out of those ref bonuses or affiliate + paycheck of those companies or services who are really tending to have those ads.
Its not really that something new and really that very common. As for us viewers then we arent that dumb on not to notice out those intents.

In general speaking on which gambling or playing with it is really indeed a choice. You havent been forced to deposit and its a self decision that had been made by you only. If there's
someone needs up to be blamed then it would be "YOU".  Its definitely a choice and its not been you've been forced.

That's what makes many people want to become influencers because they think they only need information about gambling. But they don't warn that gambling can impact gambling addiction because they think each person can take care of himself. But the reality is not so because many people still experience gambling addiction, so each person's self-control is still lacking.

By filtering out influencers who can provide correct information accompanied by warnings, we can also exercise good self-control so that we don't become addicted to gambling. And even though the influencer gives the temptation to get bonuses by joining under them, it won't affect us because we can control ourselves well.

[Doan9269]

Thats the mental of it. When they lose money they try to get even and hopefully make more.

Before they got to that point though someone must have introduced them to casino, an influencer is just one of them and the power of persuation applies not just off line but the internet can lure people to do just about anything like depositing funds for gambling.

Gambling is not about winning always, though it may come unexpected sometimes that we make this frequently but not everytime we gambling this kind of occasional occurrence happened, an average right mind thinking gambler should know when it's right time for him to gamble and when not to gamble, such person also must be able to read the situation attached to each of the gambling experience he had before taking another moves to bet.

[LUCKMCFLY]

The thing is.... it should not come down to the point where you are looking for reasons to blame someone else for your losses. You should gamble for fun and enjoy it, if it is not fun anymore... then you should stop.

Casinos have to make money to keep the doors open for you to gamble and they use the house edge to do that... people should just accept that and play games with a more favorable RTP... if they want to play for a longer period.  

Well, this also applies to players who really like slots, or in particular I love them, but of course I don't play very often because I have a particularity, in slots I'm not like other players, I don't seek to win, I just seek have fun, because for me slots have other types of things that I like and that kill a lot, I don't know if it's because of the music or because of the adrenaline they have, that's why whenever I play a slot machine I just want to have fun and not win, it sounds like weird, no? But that's the way it is, so when they talk about a high RTP it's striking, for me they are more likely to open up to play more.

I admit to engaging in gambling on rare occasions, and I keep track of how much I spend on it, I urged the youth to use caution when gaming.

True. Gambling is always a choice, and those who end up as gambling addicts are probably their own decision too. However, since we’re already aware how it can lead us to a worst situation, then we should always learn to control gambling urge because that will never make us profitable in the long run but will only mess with our finances in the end. And as much as possible, only gamble when you have extra money for pleasure, otherwise stay away from gambling if your money is only enough to cater to your basic needs.

^That is definitely right and I completely agree with you.
That is why we should treat gambling as a form of entertainment and only partake when we have disposable income specifically designated for such activities. If our financial resources are limited and primarily allocated to fulfilling our basic needs, it's best to steer clear of gambling altogether. Self-discipline here is a must in order for us to manage the possible risk associated with gambling. Gamble only of what you can afford or the extra amount that we have.

Yes, gambling is a choice, a game and fun but I don't think that gambling addiction is also a choice. This could be very bad situation for everyone and I think addiction developes when we are not strong enough to resist and know ourselves and our limits.
So yes, gambling should be just fun game where you spend your extra money that you can afford and some winnings when they happen just make it more interesting and exciting.

A right-minded gambler should understand when they need to stop when they are gambling, whether they have got a big win or have lost a lot of money already as in both scenarios, they would know it's better if they stop right there because if they play after winning, they might lose everything they've won, and if they gamble more after losing a lot, they will end up losing everything.

Gambling is obviously not only about winning and that is simply because gambling is a game of luck and if your luck doesn't work in your favor, you are guaranteed to lose and you can win only when you are lucky.

When it comes to making money through gambling, even those that are not interested in gambling we make move to participate because everyone want to earn through gambling, thar is why you see that the target of any gambling platform is to first handles the area of their advertisement by engaging the influencers to make promotions for them, but out of those that will give a try, few will stay and remain while others will left after they have achieved what they want or did not achieve what they wanted to.

Consciously actually gamblers think right, some gamble just for fun, some gamble looking for a daily source of income too, but usually those who gamble for fun know when it's time to stop, it's different if gamblers are looking for a source of income, they will not stop if they haven't already on their daily profit target.

Usually those who experience big losses at casinos are gamblers who are looking for a source of income because they will be fixated with the game to keep playing until they get what they want, for gamblers who are only looking for fun will not become addicts. That's why being a gambler has a choice. no one can get rich because of gambling moreover it depends on luck too.

gambling is a personal choice. a person is free to make decisions for himself. but the wrong choice if you think gambling is a job and you are willing to sacrifice and invest your wealth for things that are uncertain. Gambling is a game so play properly to simply relieve stress and try to control yourself so that you are not controlled by gambling games. Adolescents are very unstable and have passionate passions, so it is not uncommon for teenagers to fall into and become addicted to gambling because they still cannot control themselves.
the social environment and friendships are the main factors for someone to play gambling, so while you are young, be smart in sorting out and choosing positive associations that don't harm you or your friends. and you must be able to leave associations that only have a negative impact, especially for yourself.

I'm sorry to hear about the incident in your locality. It's unfortunate that some individuals resort to scamming and taking advantage of others through deceptive gambling practices. It's crucial to remember that gambling should always be a personal choice, and no one should be coerced or forced into it.

Particularly, there is nothing to really be sorry about, for what op explained is not exactly gambling, but a scam strategy which unfortunately, the gullible ones fall into.
I don't know about the rest of the world, but the strategy, or should I call it a story or experience rather, shared by the op is very common here in Nigeria, I've personally encountered them on several occasions and was wise enough never to fall into their trap,

There are some who scam individuals through gambling, while there are others who use a gambling strategy to perpetrate scam, the ones explained in op fall into the second option.

Yes, gambling has made many people curious and want to try it because they can play many gambling games. Moreover, they don't need to deposit much money as crypto casinos have low deposit limits. So that's what makes people come to gambling and hope to win some money. But many of them don't realize that they can't win many times because gambling is all about getting lucky when playing gambling. But that didn't stop them from playing gambling; many even got even more engrossed in gambling and used more money. They also see more ads on social media, making them even more curious to try it.

There are many gamblers who failed to control and see this as an opportunity to try doubling their money in a quick transition not realizing that it will turn to the other side, instead of making money they will see that they are losing their capital and they will just keep adding thinking that they can recover and if luck will permits they will manage to win some and enjoy, though it's also true that there's some time that they can win and enjoy after quitting but they will just go back and will try winning again then losses back those money and it will become a cycle,

it's a choice and it will be depends on how you see both your enjoyment and your limitation with your the money that you are using.
