As a gambler, will you find it offensive if you are referred to as a gambling addict? will you easily accept it or try to give excuses like some other people do, saying that they are not addicted to gambling when the signs are clearly there.
In what context. It depends on the context and who is saying it. If I am a gambling addict, I know what I am and what I am struggling with but if someone refers to me as a gambling addict in a disrespectful or degrading manner, I am going go have some words with them. If I am in a meeting filled with fellow gamblers and someone refers to me as a gambler, I won't take any offense. Do you think identifying as an addicted gambler will make people stereotype you. The answer is different for every gambler here. Nope. I think just like smoking and drinking, people have come to see gambling as a "norm". People will stereotype you no matter what you do. So if you are addicted to gambling, keep your head up and seek for help while ignoring whatever people may say about you.

Well, for me being I don’t mind if they call me being addicted in gambling as long as I can still manage my gambling activities and I’m also in profits with it. The only thing gambling addiction is a negative thing is when you gamble risking all your resources in life. That way, you are making your life miserable just to sustain your urge in gambling.

I'm not an addict, but if I told someone that I gamble and they started talking about me like I'm an addict I'd feel offended. It's the same as lying about someone. I'd try to explain that I gamble occasionally and I have my funds under control and if that did not work, I'd have to cut ties with these people. To me calling someone that is addicted the way it is should not be offensive, but smearing someone's reputation should. The problem is that many people who are addicted don't understand it and may be offended. You can't do anything about it, to be honest.

Especially for ruining someone's daily mood by discussing this topic and blaming him for the gambling losses leads to bad day somehow. That is why I always start talking about other things then turn the subject to general addiction and then go for specific topics including gambling addiction. It is not offensive but as you said it can ruin someone's reputation one day, I prefer to be careful discussing such topics with other people.

In my opinion, it is better to keep the gambling activities that we do secret, than other people's perceptions hurt us, it is better that they do not know anything about our gambling activities. Someone who says we are addicts only sees how we gamble, but addicts and non-addicts will clearly be different. Addicts are more aggressive in gambling and seem indifferent even though they always lose. people who are addicted also have higher levels of stress and if they are easily irritated it is a cause and effect of how they gamble too often and always lose.

People don’t know that their is nothing wrong with gambling if the person is not addicted to gambling, if you can control yourself when gambling, their is nothing wrong with gambling, if am not addicted to gambling, even if you call me gambler I won’t be angry but don’t just call me addicted gambler that’s when their will be a problem, because I won’t take it easy with the person. I blame addicted gamblers for things happening currently, gamblers that do illegal things just for them to get money to gamble, the once that sell their properties just to gamble, I know things done by addicted gamblers are the once that make people believe that gambling is really bad, but truly gambling is fun and very interesting, if you are after the fun aspect.

Well one thing I know for sure is that every gambler tend to shy away from the fact that they are possible addicts to the habit, I would take myself for an example during my core days as a gambler I almost lost everything I had to this act but still yet I still tell myself lies thats it all good and this type of things is normal but the true is that denial always come with this act and every gambler tend to tell themselves lies that they are not addicts.

No, I don't really care, although it depends on the person accusing me of being an addict, whether I care about this person's opinions. If someone random says I'm an addict, I won't even try to explain it to them that I'm not and they're wrong. If it's someone I'm friends with, the situation changes.
It's hard to answer this in a short post, as it all depends on the circumstances.

Maybe if this question was asked within a decade ago. it seems, most likely I will be offended. because if you are labeled as a gambling addict, the connotation leads to bad things. well, as we often discuss. that most gambling addicts tend to do things that are detrimental to either the gambler himself or the people around us. Now, I am more relaxed not to respond if some colleagues, friends, and so on label me a gambling addict. the question is, should I defend myself. for me, it doesn't have to be at all. because, I give freedom to people to judge my personality "in this case, in the case of gambling addicts" I won't bother explaining it to anyone, especially if they don't ask. after all, what they say is close to the truth. why, because I am active in sports betting. then, why do I let them judge me according to what they interpret. because I don't need to explain. The point is, I don't involve them let alone hurt them by borrowing a few dollars to gamble. secondly, i do gambling, just for fun and especially football betting. and most importantly, I am consistently responsible for meeting household needs without exception. about hobbies, I have budgeted a few percent of my income. That way, no one is harmed. so why, should i be offended by what they say. after all, we know better what we are doing. the rest, it's up to them.

Everyone should be proud of what they do in as much as they are making a living from it i don't see any reason why they should be angry whenever they are being referred as an addicts gambler, an addict is not a crime but just to show how dedicated they are with their gambling lifestyle at this point people sees it as someone who is an addict or a chronic gambler.
What I understand about life is that, whatever work you do to make life comfortable doesn't really mean you should look after what others may say and do about it. Only responsible gambler may not sees it as offence because their reasoning and others may not be the same, besides those who gamble's with their smartphone are hardly noticeable because they aren't going to local shops to gamble. Most gambler who are tagged addict gambler are the people who they mostly see at local casino or betting shops.

No one would enjoy answering to a name not appropriate, unless where the name mentioned is more of a mocking gesture to the person being called. If I have made my choice and I have reasonable evidence to show that what I get as outcome is satisfactory in some way or I just believe my lucky break would come from there, it shouldn't make anyone refer to me in a manner as if to say, they are better than me.
Respect is reciprocal and if one don't like anyone calling such names it should be respected.

there are situations in which someone calling you a gambling addict just makes you angry and with that you stop talking to the person, in many places there is always someone irritating who, instead of minding their own business, is always looking at the error or defect of other people and when this type of people are faced with situations of seeing someone playing a lot but that does not bring any profit then these people immediately start a big campaign that talks about gambling addiction and all the time these people are talking about this subject, and they don't give any space for the other to defend themselves, it looks like they are criticizing another person because they have hate, so you need to be able to identify people
to know if they are saying that you are addicted to gambling because they noticed signs of it and intend to help you or if they just hate you and that's why they keep accusing you of being addicted to gambling, ideal is that the person after being called addicted to gambling takes some time to research whether those accusations against you are really founded or not, in case they are, look for a doctor and he will tell you if you are addicted to gambling or not. I do not advise people to resort to violence because what has happened a lot. this is not necessary, there are doctors or psychologists, so just make an appointment and everything will be clear

It depends on who referred you as addicted to gambling if it's coming from someone who does not know anything about gambling and has an attitude of holier than thou then I will not be bothered at all, but if it's coming from someone I respect or some who has experienced in gambling I will take their advice and do action.
Gambling is risky and it's a fact, we may not know it but we may be playing without our boundaries and the best way to know is through opinions from people who know about gambling and who experienced the ups and downs of it.

What mostly happens is those who are addicted don't even know or realize that they are actually addicted to gambling, and that is the reason why they might feel offended if you call them gambling addicts because they don't consider themselves that. The people who are addicted and even they know it but they simply can't help it, wouldn't take it as an offense but they will agree with you and might even say that they want to get out of the addiction but they just can't do it. I personally wouldn't mind someone calling me an addict if I know I am actually addicted to it, but if I don't feel that I'm addicted to gambling and someone calls me that, I will obviously not like it and I may even argue about it, just like what I said in the beginning that those who are either not addicted or don't know it will take offense from it.

What now? I think you're mistaking dedication to addiction? I don't mind people accepting that they gamble, it's relatively normal imo, what I do mind is people mistaking "addiction" as something good. It's not. Even an addiction to religion would give you praise, you'd simply be called an insane fanatic. There's a line between that and dedication imo. It not being a crime doesn't mean that it's automatically a good thing.

No. It is what it is. If you are playing every day, that pretty much means you are addicted to it and like every addiction out there, it is a bad thing. Stereotyping people isn't a problem because in this case it tells the truth. A gambling addict might be the CEO of some big corp but he is still an addict and people will always keep that in mind when having an interaction with that person. Being a CEO was just an example. He could be a doctor, engineer, etc The ultimate truth is, it is an addiction and it affects people in a very bad way.

Of course calling someone a gambling addict is offensive if that person isn't one. You can't assume someone is an addict just because he gambles. Talk to them about your concern and see how they reply to you. It is always more helpful to talk than blindly accuse someone of being an addict and offending them. If the person doesn't realize he is an addict, it won't help calling him addict. He will only deny it. Instead, try to help them step by step. Make them realize that they are causing damage to themselves and people near them. Once they realize it, they will start improving themselves. The first step in recovery is self-realization.

Many people find it difficult to accept who they are and the bad habits that they have, accepting a habit is the first step that will determine if any help offered to you will work. As a gambler, will you find it offensive if you are referred to as a gambling addict? will you easily accept it or try to give excuses like some other people do, saying that they are not addicted to gambling when the signs are clearly there. Do you think identifying as an addicted gambler will make people stereotype you. The answer is different for every gambler here.
I think that vary from person to person and their patience levels. I think some addicts aren't aware of themselves and they likely find it offensive that they are called for something that they aren't aware of. We can't deny the fact that people are fond of being stereotyping and we can't ignore on what they have in mind, as I've said it's on you if you can tolerate it or not if you've been called by that.

I probably wouldn't like it if people start referring to me as an gambling addict, because I am not an addict. It's true that I gamble a lot for many years now and objectively people who don't know me could think that I am addicted for playing so long. But I feel like I am still on control of my gambling habit and can stop whenever I want. Just now I was 10 days on vacation and didn't even think about gambling. It's no issue for me to take short breaks from the casinos without feeling the need to come back quickly. The main issue I would have with being called gambling addicted is that people have a negative association with addicts and I might get problems for it at work.

Being a gambler you'll already get stereotype by the society therefore admitting that you're an addict to them you're putting yourself at a more disadvantage. What will admitting to them that you're gambling addict do to you or will it help you stopped been addicted. You should only speak to a professional about your gambling problem as they are the ones that can help you. People will only make fun of your problem when you tell them. They might put you into depression if you're the type that gets easily depressed because if what people say. I'll find it offensive if I get stereotype as an addict which I'll never be because I gamble with my sense and not emotion. Already I get mad when I'm been referred to as a gambler that's why I keep to myself and only prefer online casino over traditional casinos.
