Who among you here is gambling at work?

[TopTort777]

The risk will be ours and if anything happens to us, it will definitely have an impact on our work, which could result in us being fired by the company. If that happens, we can't do anything and can only accept the company's decision.

If someone dares to do that at work, he or she will certainly be able to accept all the risks that occur, one of which is losing his job and also his good name, this will definitely be bad this is the same as someone working but not complying with company rules, while the company wants employees who obey on the rules and if you break the rules and end up gambling at work that is very bad and I have seen people do things like this who end up losing their jobs.

What if persons gambles on the mobile? That is not company's business what I do with my phone. Here in Europe employees and employers dont pay much attention to violation of privacy. But in US for example, if it wasnt mentioned in the contract and rules, and not prohibited, all the work is done and employee was fired anyway, because he gambled on his mobile at work... I think that company gonna prepare a solid cheque or should start to login to their bank account. As this gonna cost them a lot.

It even sounds weird, if a company has a "no gambling at work" clause in contract. Of course working computer or device must be used only for work. No one questions that. But often companies close eyes when employees freely use the internet and browse anything that isnt NSFW.

But some people don'tonly accept some of the risks that will occur because usually they initially open the application just because they want to see their account or look for certain promotions. But after they visit page after page, they see an interesting promotion and try to get it. From there, they will immediately deposit their money or immediately play gambling without remembering that they are actually still at work. He also will not realize that it is against the rules at work because he has been gambling at the office and also while he is working. It could cost him his job if his boss finds out. They should be able to think about whether it is worth doing at their workplace, which already pays their salary so they can meet their daily living needs.

It's me, In our country our maximum parents discouraged their children and boy's and girls not to do any kind of side work before complete their study. They think that will create defect on their study. Gambling you know in Bangladesh gambling in illigali and it's highly risk to economy. I started gambling my own and hide this from my family. My parents are not aware with my gambling habit.

Who are we to blame in this your kind of experience, you're gambling without letting your parents know and they were not that sensitive enough to have caught you red handed on the act, your own condition is not gambling at work, it's just probably a misappropriation or something that got you involved into gambling at unaware, but now you've realized the difference and things at stake.

     -   If you are still playing gambling at work, it may be a serious habit of yours because you don't think about whether it will affect your work, where what you earn here contributes a lot to your personal life.

Because if you're thinking normally, you won't let it affect your work just because you want to do the gambling that you really want to do. It should not be emulated by other gamblers who have jobs, in my opinion.

[LUCKMCFLY]

This thread is very interesting, it is very noticeable what the players can do when establishing something that can make them get out of the routine, I know that in many jobs the issues are very ruinous, but when different things are done that are part of the job well It can be a lot of fun, and that is basically what we as players odems establish to do things better, I personally believe that a person who works in the field can take on the responsibility of playing without falling into any type of addiction, just as a quick hobby or something like that, sometimes people who have jobs that demand a lot from them, they can't do much in their free time, so instead of checking social networks and if they have 5 or 10 minutes free, it costs nothing to be a time on the phone to play quickly, even if it is a game like a slot where you can have a good, exciting time because it is not bad, as long as it does not affect the work being done.

When we are in a job we must assume things as they are, we can be good about the things that can be done, we cannot decide to do a job and commit ourselves to doing the job, because that in my opinion is a serious lack of it and for the person who is employing, because a job needs to fulfill the goal or the purpose under which it was employed, for that reason we must do all kinds of things to be able to do everything well without affecting what we are doing, Let us remember that the casino must be taken as a means of fun and enjoyment, we can never take it as something that we can establish for a monthly, weekly income or something like that, because we would be wrong, and we would waste money, and in every casino and anywhere we What we should do is take care of our money and avoid it in a very stupid way, because we were not doing anything right, neither the work nor the gambling that we were doing in the casino because we were waiting for them to not discover us, so for the casino we have to concentrate too.

He’s gambling and hiding the fact from his parents cause he knows what he’s doing would not be acceptable by his parents and the society in general. And when he gets in trouble or in financial distress for such activities, he has very few people he can go to that would actually listen and want to solve his problem.

Asides all that, it’s still not nice nor responsible to gamble at work. We shouldn’t be doing one thing in the time stipulated for another thing.

Yeah, when gamblers start hiding their behavior from their friends and family that's when you might think it's time to think about it.

The further you go in that path, the more difficult it is to go back to a healthy life.

It's better to act earlier.

We should not support anyone with this attitude or give excuses for their action, irresponsibility can't be shortchanged, it's what it is. Good, if the nature of the job permits it, there is nothing, but when it becomes distracting means in their primary job dispensation, this is just irresponsible. There are some people who have a lot of spare time with their means of earning, to them, you can't blame them for whatever they do with that spare time. Inasmuch as they do not lag in delivering their jobs as they should be done, they are good to go. For these people, there is nothing stopping them from gambling as well, as to some, it might be their hobby, so let them have the fun as they while away time.

But take for example, a banker who has a lot of work in front of him but can't still control the urge to gamble at work, to such it's becoming bad and if nothing is done, it might become a problem.

[Betwrong]

Back in the years I think 2004 when the Chess Online Boomed , as we(my officemates and me) are chess lover and yeah used to gamble when we are still in college near our university having bets against chess.

we have encouraged each others to gamble while at work lol, we have a Facebook chat group that managed and settles bets and the time of play.

we seems to be bad but yeah we are spending our work time just to gamble  luckily we are not kicked out from the work but this is not as best as others thinking because some of them are even losing their week salary because of chess.

Did those Chess games involve betting your own money and hoping to win more? Because, if they didn't, that wasn't gambling. You were just having fun playing chess online and although that probably still wasn't allowed on your work place, it wasn't the same as being gambling. But you are saying some guys were "losing their week salary because of chess". Were they fined because of playing at the work place or was it really playing chess for money, which I've never heard of?

Yeah! It's probably one of the worst case scenarios. The guy is not just gambling when he should be working and getting paid to work, but he also can get into the money that isn't his and  if you have control over other people's cash, gambling is a big no-no.  Anyone who manages money for others should not be doing things like betting and gambling on their own.

I don't think gambling was particularly booming in 2004 but for chess games it might have been and if there was gambling in that year I think it was mostly physical casinos. Of course  as you say it's not gambling if it doesn't involve betting valuable things that each person has like money for example in general, and judging by some of the questions you've asked here it seems like you're putting suspicion on the person about what gambling they're doing.

To be honest I also have the same assumptions and doubts as you, that's because I never heard that casinos provide games like chess as one of the gambling games, it refers more to skills, and  usually when people play chess they are more often to pit strategies and how good one of them is about the skills and understanding of the chess game. If it's a gambling game then it means that the more skilled person will win more, while chess is a game that can be learned, doesn't this make sense? So I'm quite doubtful if they lose their salary money because of this game.

[tjtonmoy]

Gambling is for entertainment purposes and a job is a way of making a living. When you put these 2 together, you will face problems that's for sure. Everything has a proper way of doing it. If you give priority to your work, you should never gamble or involve something that can take away your focus from it.

Yeah, when gamblers start hiding their behavior from their friends and family that's when you might think it's time to think about it.

The further you go in that path, the more difficult it is to go back to a healthy life.

That's not how it works. When we become addicted to something, we try to reason to ourselves that we are not addicted to it yet and try to ignore the fact that we actually are. And by the time we realize that it's already too late. Sharing your thoughts and activities of gambling with people closer to you will always help prevent this situation. Also, people need to learn to gamble responsibly.

True, but it's also a gradual thing.

It's not like you wake up one day and you are addicted. It is a slow process that continues after multiple times the person goes gambling.

Some people are predisposed to being addicted so they should be extra careful.

Basically, in any case, it is true that everything will proceed gradually,  whether it is achieving something positive or negative. It is impossible for someone to suddenly become addicted if there is no process that takes place slowly as a driving force to reach that level of addiction.

Therefore, we really have to be able to firmly apply some of the  boundaries that we have prepared, which of course is what you think is the best thing to do, none other than because addiction can come from anywhere and it is not uncommon for those who have entered the addiction phase accidentally. conscious. So basically, if you want to be safe and stay safe  then you have to keep trying to maintain your awareness, especially when your gambling session is in  progress, because by having a good enough level of awareness, I think you won't be careless in choosing something, especially you won't be easily tempted.

If gambling in your country has been regarded as illegal, it's then unlawful for you to engage in it regardless of how well you were able to bypass the protocol to see your way through to gambling. Your parents not been aware that you are gambling may not be the biggest challenge now but the fact that by your country you are engaged in an illegal activity.

I'm sure you should be having challenge with withdrawal of fund if you turn out lucky some day and win some good money Because at they point KYC may be required of you and it will be made known to the gambling platform they you are violating a rule which may put them at risk. There's so much at stake with this habit of yours so in your best interest it will be better if you quit gambling and get into something else except you still have your way around all that which are at stake regardless.

Easier said than done. When you are driven by an adrenaline rush, you forget everything and most people feel this rush. As humans, we have emotions and feelings. As long as we are in that state, we will fall victim if we don't control it. This step is the hardest of all. You can never understand when you are falling victim to it. And when you understand it, it's too late. I agree that it doesn't happen overnight but that's the main problem. It happens slowly and that's why we can't not feel it until it becomes extreme.

If you keep adding 1 drop of water at a time to a bucket, it will fill up but you will not notice it until it has risen a bit from the starting point. It's the same thing here. So we need to stop adding that 1 drop if we really want to be on the safe side.

Yeah, it depends on the job. Many office workers tend to use their time at social media sites like Facebook, etc. So I guess many of them would also just gamble as well.

I'm not sure if that affects too much their performance as usually they do this when there's not much else to do.

Social media use and gambling at work can both pose potential distractions and performance issues, but they have different effects in direct and long-term.

Social media use at work can disrupt foresight and productivity, the negative consequences are typically less severe and more direct. The Employees who are scrolling through social media feeds or responding to messages, lead to a decline in their work efficiency. This has direct effect to their work. Once they put their devices away, employees can typically resume their work without substantial harm.

Gambling at work can lead to more significant and long-lasting effects. The thrill of gambling can easily captivate an individual, leading them to spend more time and effort on it than their work. This can result in reduced productivity, missed deadlines, and even outright neglect of their job duties.

I agree that gambling at work will have a negative impact on a person's external life. Gambling is a game that gradually a person will become addicted to playing then social media and gambling he will be more busy with them and his attention will be reduced in the work place for which he may lose his job. If gambling becomes an addiction if any work in the office is not done properly if the work is neglected then any office boss will not accept it then he will be removed and new employees will be hired. This is why you should not gamble at work to avoid the loss of your life.

I think something, and it is that in all our lives there are stages, there are times under which we must do certain things, among those are the times to be able to generate good administration in our things, there are types to go to the movies, there are times to go out to eat, there are times for us to establish something to generate better reactions to everything, for example for the game, in a casino it is obvious that almost everything is going to catch our attention and if we like it it is natural because as humans we feel the need to spend more time in a casino, and that is why these types of issues arise, such as being at a job and getting busy or something similar, which I think should not be because we in our work must respect it and for that We must manage our time and make it available so that we can generate better fun, if we are at work we can make mistakes, both at work and in the casino and that is a waste of money, whether at work or in the casino I think that in the casino the loss is generated much faster.

Our work is always sacred, it must be cared for, it must be protected, because many times it is our livelihood and we must do it well, and not forced, because it does not make sense to do it that way, for that reason we must do things well, I agree that sometimes Sometimes we had free time at work, a break, at lunch time, or when they gave us free time, that's where we have to take advantage of playing, if we have the desire to play, which I don't like, but nevertheless It can be taken as something that can be done, but I am not compatible with determining that things are like that with a job, because usually you leave work tired, and there is no time to do things well or well, what you want is relax, watch TV and rest, be with the family, being in a casino implies more attention, more energy, adrenaline, it takes a lot of investment from us.

That is also true and it is not easy to get out. I had a period, 12 years ago, where I would stay up 5-6 hours at night to gamble on random matches and sports that I knew nothing of. Started to gamble with bigger and bigger amounts (couple of 100$) and had 1 night that I went all-in as everything was going wrong. Won my bet, cashed out and I will never play with bigger amounts again. I still like the experience of gambling (it can make sports more entertaining to watch) but I am always careful and limit my balance on every site.

The more one learns each day. I was not even aware Bangladesh was a country which has tough restrictions on gambling like those which are being described by him. Also, keeping in mind parents there discourage children and the youth from start to gamble, I can only assume there must be a very high and developed underground gambling industry in that Asian country.
My problem with Underground markets like that is they are usually controlled by corrupt and dangerous people who may take advantage of children and vulnerable people in different ways, from child labor to debt traps...
Someday, when I have got time, I gotta read more about the gambling market in southern Asia.

Yeah, that's how humans work.

You can't really expect that people will simply stop certain behavior because the country made it illegal.

If people want to do something, they will do it, independent of the law. The most clear example of this was "The Prohibition" in the US, where alcohol was banned. It was still consumed, but the people selling it were in the black market, and in that scenario you can't control it really.

You end up with kids being able to buy alcohol for example.

It might be strange, but making something legal makes it easier to restrict.

We should not support anyone with this attitude or give excuses for their action, irresponsibility can't be shortchanged, it's what it is.

We can only tell people who still frequently gamble at work not to do it anymore because there is a risk of being fired by their superiors if we do so because it violates the regulations made by the company. They should be able to appreciate what they have got because by working for the company, they can get a steady income that can help them meet their daily needs. They cannot rely on gambling to make money and cannot use gambling as a source of income. Moreover, if they gamble at work, it can arouse the curiosity of people at work and can attract them to gamble too. And we also don't know whether they can control themselves well or whether they will get into trouble when they gamble. But if they don't want to listen to our suggestions, it will come back to each person because that is also each person's responsibility.
