I think topics/discussion on gambling addictions is too much

[Stable090]

Based on my understanding on OP point here. He is not against the repetitive gambling addiction topic but it’s effect to the casino that most of us here are promoting on our signature space. Some signature campaign participants that endorsing casino is suggesting not to gamble while the business they are promoting will gonna be affected when customers is reduced.

Most of the topics are about addiction and it’s not about gamblers, gambling is normal and I don’t think anybody is going to complain about people that gamble responsibly, but when it comes to addiction I think we should always caution each other, lots of addicted gamblers do illegal things just because they want to gamble, which is making people in the society that are not gamblers think gambling is a bad thing, have heard about different stories which some addicted gamblers hurt their family members just because of their addiction in gambling which is very wrong, I know some of us are wearing gambling site’s signature, and am encouraging people to gamble, but all what am against is gambling addiction.

But in general, this gambler addicted is only few and will not gonna hurt casino industry. Casino also have this kind of advice under their terms for a gambler to play responsibly.

You are right some gambling site’s always encourage we gamble responsibly, so if we are talking about gambling addiction, I don’t think it will affect the gambling site which some of us are wearing their signature. So it’s better we always warn people to try their possible best not to be addicted to gambling.

This is gambling discussion sub board of the gambling board of bitcointalk forum,  and the main goals of the gambling board is where casinos introduced the platforms via creation of ANN threads and also the discussion sub board where gamblers discuss many other topics as relate to gambling.

But recently I have read a lot of topics as regards to gambling (addictions) and it negative effects on individuals and how we have warn against it,  but at this time I am beginning to think that we are focusing too much on gambling addiction rather than employing ways to avoid addiction but at the same time gamble and have fun to the fullest.

The topics and discussion about gambling addiction is becoming too much and too often to the point that most newbie may likely get scared away from gambling which will not be ok for the casino revenue generation so at this point I am force to ear my view of this topic of gambling addictions, becoming too much in this board.

Or what do you think?

I think this is exactly the right place to bring this question up occasionally, we're not talking about every other thread here - these conversations are rather rare. They give an idea and hint to people who may be starting to consider whether they are gambling too much, or they might pick up a useful tip on how to gain back control in that scenario. They are perfectly harmless in that sense and offer a more rounded experience to the forum, it would be stranger if they were missing entirely. If you are not interested in the topic or feel like it doesn't apply to you, then simply avoid such discussions - it's not harming you at all and it's weird you'd even find them so strangely offensive or act like they are super common.

The lessons to learn from this kind of topic are inexhaustible. From trying to move away from the act of playing uncontrollably to the financial burden and obviously, those who are married have alot to learn from it because addiction in gambling usually set couples apart if the wife is not in support of it. People are sharing enormous experience of their experience on it and effort made on the good sides or and the bad side.

We will always have one or two topics on gambling addiction because gambling and gambling addiction cannot be separated into a forum that discusses gambling addiction, the only thing that we should avoid are topics that keep on repeating and answers that are redundant, we cannot stop people from pouring their emotions here and posting their good and bad experience in this board, because by posting their experience and emotions he can contribute on how players avoid to going addicted to gambling.

The addiction formed from gambling doesn't just get formed in a day or weeks. Sometimes one may not even be aware they are addicted to gambling, until a topic talking about it, catches their attention.

It may be healthy to gamble while single, but once married, it becomes necessary to have a control over such money spending habit, especially if one looses more than win. The financial constraints caused by gambling addictions not only affect the society. It also influences the structure of a family.

Posts on the subject of gambling addictions can be reduced but not stopped, because the human mind/brain needs to be reminded of habits that want to be stopped at every time of the day.

I have a hunch that casino owners probably didn't like the idea of gambling addiction threads getting so many in the gambling forum, it wouldn't help their promotion of the casino which obviously they see these threads as a problem. They want us to gamble of course and not to quit! Any guest in the forum will also be seeing those threads, it's kind of counter the marketing they are doing.

What I find odd though is that those who are talking about how to quit and avoid getting addicted to gambling are wearing signature of casinos.

I totally agree with you, I don't really find a lot of topics or threads related to gambling addiction, though we can find people advising others to try and avoid getting addicted to gambling because that is absolutely not harmless for anyone, and I find that being a good thing since if we can talk someone out of their way to addiction, it's a noble deed as the addiction can ruin their life forever and we might prevent that from happening by stopping them.

And even if a topic or a post isn't specifically targeting a person directly, it can still be the reason for someone to learn something from it and change their way of gambling, they may become more responsible and disciplined. So in my opinion, these discussions do contribute a lot and they should stay.
