Who among you here is gambling at work?

[MainIbem]

Exactly! There's no employer that will allow employee to use their time while at work and being paid. For sure, people who are doing it are all aware of the risk of being caught by their employer. Gambling should be done outside your workplace and in your spare time, together with your spare money.

I do see your point in terms of extra time, and if you are not doing it, gambling can be addicting, so better if you can still control yourself not to engage better not.

Gambling at work is very bad and we should try as much as possible to eliminate that attitude because it could easily makes someone to lose trust at work since such person can be seen as irresponsible worker and of course every employer doesn't want to see their worker being gambling at duty which some company highly prohibits that such attitude and that company could be at risk of losing higher amount of money because a gambler could used their resources to gamble.

Yes, that's true because it can make us lose the job that already provides us income. People often ignore the rules in their workplace so that they still do other things that have nothing to do with their work. Perhaps their superiors have never caught them, so they are still doing this. But if their boss finds out they are still doing this, maybe their boss will immediately fire them, which is a loss for them because they can no longer earn income. Those who still gamble at work must realize this, and they really must realize that it is where they work where they get their salary or income, so they cannot violate any rules. Otherwise, they could lose their jobs in no time.

To be fair, though. Most employers do not even mention gambling when first interview or hire a person to work for them, at most they mention something about the use of Smartphonesnin the working area, instead. This is because it is a matter of common sense for a worker/employee to be aware they are not supposed to gamble while at work. Just plain and simple common sense.
Also, you need to remember most workers do not even have access to the funds of the company in the front of cash, only the managers have. In order for someone to gamble at work, it would take to have digital money/resources to deposit in the casino and gamble. Let us be realistic: it is very rare for a normal worker to be trusted money in such way and if the manager of the company was addicted to gambling, then there would be no company for people to work in, his addiction would have consumed most of their assets, in a few months or years, depending o. The size of his bank account and the size of the company in general.

In the real world, someone gambling at work will only hurt that same person and won't do nothing to the company in the long term.

Well, it depends on the type of employment.

Many people at office jobs scroll through social media for hours and they still get paid, no issues.

Gambling would be seen as something like that in my mind.

Of course it can cause issues, but it's not like it's impossible to do at some jobs.

[Betwrong]

I don't usually gamble while working but I do make price predictions on freebitco.in once a month and I don't see if it's a working day or not.
So that doesn't count I guess since I am not actively gambling while at work. It should be an prohibited act though.
Work is worship and people should focus on work rather than entertainment at work.

Yes, gambling is entertainment, we should agree on that in the first place. It's not your additional job where you make extra money, it's just entertainment, that's all. Now, we have a certain amount of time for our entertainment each day, and it's not during the working hours. I'm not trying to say that one should gamble each day, I just want to say that each day you have time for that besides your work.

I'm not trying to say that one should gamble each day, I just want to say that each day you have time for that besides your work.

So that's right, before we start to get involved in gambling, as much as possible we must be able to agree with ourselves about all the possibilities and impacts that we can experience when we are involved in this activity, do research first and make sure to consider it because this will result in a the final decision is whether or not you can be a responsible gambler. If we have agreed with ourselves then we can decide to get involved, because as we know that most gamblers now always misunderstand what gambling actually is, most of the people who are now involved do not have the correct understanding about gambling which in the end makes them down because they use gambling as a place to earn money just because they see an opportunity to win.

So this is why it is always recommended to treat gambling as a place or activity for entertainment only because with a mindset like this it is clear that they will not be serious about their gambling activities. Yes, I understand what you are saying regarding the issue of time, the point is not that we have to gamble every day when we have free time, but what is certain is that somehow we have to be able to divide our time and the point is not too often because after all gambling is an activity that involves risk in addition to purpose for enjoyment.

Also if on your job you are responsible for managing any amount of money, gambling at work could lead others to think that you are not managing the money of the company as you should and an investigation could ensue.

We must remember than an honest person not only needs to be this way, they also need to keep the image that they are honest, as this saves you a lot of trouble down the line, so when at your job keep a professional image at all times and once you are out of it you can gamble as much as you want.

To me personally gamblers can't hide their Identity even though they would try to hide themselves after some while it would show in them because gambler's always has spirits that control's them, the best is to stop gambling because they wouldn't know when they could start manifesting their characters. In most cases, when a work of most the reputable oil firm caught gambling outside and someone reported them to their management within a week after thorough investigation such person is being fired for exhibiting and putting a gambling practice outside there meaning there could be a day where company's funds will be at risk or possibly a property or items could be sold out for satisfying his gambling acts.

Yeah, that would be a massive red flag for a person working with direct access to company money.

A gambler will always find a way to try to move money around to cover their losses.

If they have access, they will move that money at some point.

[yazher]

Yeah as no employer wanted to see their employees doing unrelated things especially those that involved in gambling during duty hours as it is against the company's policy. As an employee I followed every single rules and regulation not to brag this but yeah gambling don't work with me while I am on duty. I can do it on my free time if I want to but no.

Let alone gambling, I can't even open my social media account whenever my boss is around though he won't scold me he always says nicely that I need to be productive to his company whenever I am done with my work for that day, my leisure time with the computer should be related to my work about researching for its improvements and looking for suggestions to further improve it. Nevertheless, That's what we should do while we are at work because we cannot afford to lose our jobs just because we are eager to play online games or just look at our social media account while our boss is monitoring us.

We cannot take the risk of gambling at work. We shouldn't gamble while we're working, even if our boss doesn't scold us if he sees it.
We must be able to separate things that are priorities from things that are entertainment so that we don't play gambling that we only use as entertainment. Companies also don't want to see their employees gambling because they pay us to do good work.
We must understand the situation and conditions and work well and not do things that are not related to the company, especially while gambling.
That will only cause us problems later.

Distinguishing work from play is the issue, not gambling. Set limits and keep track of time. It checks how mature and responsible you are. As individuals, it is our duty to keep our personal actions, such as gambling, separate from our work duties. Work and fun can go together as long as we give each one their own time and care. So we can relax without giving up our work ethic or getting less done. Instead of banning, the discussion should focus on how to promote balanced and responsible behavior

The gambler who had the good environment in the work place can use to play the gambling in the work place.But he need to understand the fact the gambling is not based on fake money.Until he had good environment in the work place,the gambler can skip of playing the gambling in their work place.The betting should not made with the panic of being captured by their owner or manger in the work place.This panic of gambling may leads to the gambler to loss their money by the random betting in the gambling site.The gamblers can use their house to play the gambling without any panic games in the gambling site.

There's a right time for everything on which it would really be just that normal that you would really be needing to have that kind of mindset on which you shouldnt really be mixing up your work time
from your leisure time because once you do then you would really be finding out yourself into some potential problems on which this isnt something that should really be done in the first place.
If you are that someone whose really that going after for fun then you could always have some fun after work. Dont put up your work at risk just because you do have that gambling urge into those moments or times. Come to think that you've been able to make some income with your day job and it is really just that too risky or not worth on getting fired out because on what you have done.

We should be able to differentiate between work and play. And because gambling is included in the game and not an activity that we must do immediately, we should be able to choose the right time to gamble.
We cannot take the risk of gambling while we are at work. That is the same as putting us at risk and will also result in us being fired from our jobs. Work and fun can go together, but we know how risky gambling can be, which can make us lose control.
If they were truly responsible, it might still be possible, but gambling while at work is not necessary.

If I had a good job, I wouldn't risk gambling at work. I don't want to experience problems even though my work environment supports me if I gamble. There will be people who don't like what I do, in this case I gamble.
Those who don't like this will report me to my superiors so that I can get sanctions from the company. I have seen this many times, especially with my friends working in companies where competition between employees is tight.
Some openly don't like their work friends, but some friends secretly put their attack. I don't want to experience that.

Moreover, gambling at work is natural thing to happen because gamblers will use their time, even if it is short, to fulfill every betting desire.
This will not interfere with anything as long as they can be professional about their work.
Not all workers will spend lot of time with what they have to do because some workers have free time which will cause boredom if they don't do anything.
Here they like to gamble so obviously whenever they have time and have certain amount of money ready to spend lost then will gamble at that time.

It just that I don't understand what you said regarding counterfeit money.
On gambling sites we deposit money with a private wallet so there will be no involvement of fake money, maybe you can explain little about this.

I have several colleagues and I personally gambler, so far we have been fine even though we work and use the time to play several rounds of games.
There is no worry, no panic because we just entertain ourselves and use as much money as we can afford to lose.
It all just depends on how each gambler has an attitude and can work well, being professional at work is the main thing but that doesn't mean we can't do things that entertain ourselves in work environment.

Of course, this is not recommend by workers, let alone drinking alcoholic beverages, son't do things thats are which is not allowed within the scope of work if you don't want to be sanction or fired for doing thing that are infringed by anyone whose superior will definitely not accepted seeing their subordinate doing that during working hours, unless you do it outside of works then it won't be a problem and won't interfere with your work.

Yeah, although the thing is that if you manage to do those things in a more controlled way, you might be able to get away with it.

If you only gamble at work from time to time, it's not really a big deal.

The issue appears when you start consuming too much time. That's the key. Because you lose focus and attention, which are critical and scarce resources.

But still, within the scope of work, whether you want to hide it or by controlling it, over time you can find out, whether your friend or boss finds out, and if your friend doesn't like you, your friend could report it to your boss, so your job could be threatened just because you gambled on the spot work, in my opinion this is a trivial problem that over time becomes a big problem, you may at first just take the time to gamble but over time if you feel safe you will spend more time because you feel more fun gambling at work if you have like this will certainly be a big problem for your work.

Yes, because you think too much about gambling so you can't stop yourself from gambling even though you're working, it's better to stop that action if you want to keeping working at your placed, don't take too big risky because you're just an employee who has to comply with work regulation.

Yeah, you're right.

At the end of the day you have to be smart about your life.

If you are at work, simply work and don't do anything else, gambling or social media while working could potentially backfire at you, so why bother.

It's the safest approach to simply work at your work hours.

You cant really say that it wouldnt really be a big deal, even we do say that these actions arent really that too big or something we can say that it would be just minimal but still there's a chance that you would really be able to make yourself putting up into the risks on losing possibly your job. Its just fine for you if you do able to make or do your work well and efficiently but we do know that not all would really be having that kind of assurance because you cant be sure if your fellow co workers wont really be telling your boss or simply making out those complaints which we know that not all would really be our friend in work times.

This is why it would really be that best that you should really be that playing when you are at home and not on your workplace. It would be better that you should really be that
be having that advanced thinking rather than on making yourself that too confident but you are already putting up yourself on such risks.
This is why it would be best that you should really be that having that kind of approach.
