What according to you should be the age to retire from gambling ?

[SeriouslyGiveaway]

Older individuals often have a more established financial situation, allowing them the freedom to engage in gambling activities without significant financial constraints. Additionally, with fewer family financial responsibilities at this stage in life, they might feel more at liberty to use their funds for leisure activities, including gambling.

Moreover, having more leisure time is a key factor. Older adults often find themselves with increased free time due to retirement or a reduced workload. Gambling can serve as a form of entertainment during these periods, offering a way to pass the time and perhaps even socialize with others who share similar interests. The combination of financial stability and ample free time creates an environment where older individuals may be more inclined to engage in gambling activities compared to their younger counterparts.

Gambling is not a place of professional carrier so basically, there is nothing like retirement.
It is necessary to undertake a limited age one is liable to get on to Gambling which is the adults age between 20 whereas they have grown to attain maturities to self-confidence at a physical and intellectual level to control its emotions, having the aided abilities to independencies but talking about retirement at OP, this is not a basic source of income neither is it a source of employment.
Gambling is just a term to somedays tends to try a luck if it would profit you at some points of personal decisions in setting up a pace about the gambles.
In the gamble no one cares how old you are to be defeated (win).

Although it should be a personal and advisable decisions that as one is grows older from 60, he should be mindful that his is liable to emotional breakdown considering the level of his mentality faculty also growing weak and so inaccurate predictions and calculations in the gamble may be much more impossible to gain rightfully so, such circumstances should be aimed to step off from the gambling.

Many believe that gambling is for young people online as they need thrill and and fun. But I think that even old people can enjoy gambling. There should be any age to retire from gambling at all. One can do this activity and leisure time and thus it does not affect retirement related activities also.

You can stop whenever you want. You don't need to reach a certain age to stop gambling. If at a young age you are too deeply involved in gambling which is very likely to lead you to addiction then stop, but if you get old and gamble by enjoying every sensation of the activity then just keep doing it, so stop not because of age but stop when there is something about gambling that has damaged you, for example, your finances, relationships with people closest to you or your health because you spend too much time gambling.

But stopping gambling at young age or in adulthood is very difficult to do and this is more difficult than stopping at an old age.
Those who are still relatively young have great desire for their initial goal of entering gambling, they will do it, gamble all the time to be able to pursue realizing that goal.
Most of their gamblers have the desire to be able to win for certain amount of money and small percentage are gamblers who have the goal of having fun.
This is almost the same as gambling addict who tries to quit, where there will be many difficulties, including the temptation to stay on the gambling site and spend the amount of money they have.
Moreover, at young age they feel they can still work hard to make money so they forget about the risks involved and are willing to borrow if they run out of capital, so how can they stop if they continue to do things like that?
It is still possible to reduce it, but actually stopping at young age is not as easy as we imagine.

And the best way to stop gambling is when we reach old age and really cannot work or do business because we will definitely prioritize using money to meet our living needs and make our family happy at the end of our lives.

Somehow this does not make any sense. What about huge number of addicted to gambling people? People who have lost everything. What about facilities that offer treatment for addicted to gambling? I think that person can only stop when he have or wins enough money. As human desires are limitless, it makes impossible to stop.

Now as to retirement age. I've already wrote here, that until person understand what he is doing, it is possible for him not to retire. Gambling does not require any special physical condition. It is not a professional sport, it is not connected with any danger or hazardous substances, so until person has strengths, he can gamble.

I agree with you because we should be able to stop gambling whenever we want and don't have to wait until we are old. This is so that we can enjoy our old days well without thinking about gambling and can be closer to our family. But if there are people who still want to gamble until they are old, they can do it but they have to bear the risks and must not burden their families. And because if someone is old, they are no longer productive and cannot work well, which will affect their income or they only receive pension money, which may only be enough to meet their daily needs. And remember that older people can lose control of whatever results they get at gambling.

Nothing concern gambling with age, the majority of people become addicted to gambling when they get older. I think it is terrible to see people gamble when they are elderly, it doesn't make sense. If someone wants to stop gambling forever, the best age I can see to do so is when they are between the ages of thirty and forty before it should become late. Because that is best time we should be spending with our family, not worrying about gambling. Gambling is still different in old age. If you are wealthy and you still choose to gamble with your own money, no one will think less of you because they will assume you are just having fun. However, if you are poor still continue to gamble when you are older, that is the worst thing you could have done when you were younger. If at all possible, some people should stop gamble at their young age, because it can get more difficult for them as they get older.

Well to be fair, his note of stopping when you want to stop still applies to addicts since they can only want to stop and actually stop when they're, well, over their addiction. Well granted it is rather difficult, regardless of age to stop whatever addiction you're in. Especially in this day and age where businesses tend to use said addictions to fuel their profits, big and small.

Actually relatively easy to stop at a young age. Just lose all your money. Kidding aside I don't think there's much difference really. If you're addicted then you're addicted, if you're not then you're not. Age doesn't really matter here though it may matter if we were talking about something like frequency though.

[Miles2006]

In my opinion, there's no age limit when it comes to gambling when the time comes that person will know what to do either quit or continue that's their choice.
Using an old man to set example sounds funny, not all old people are ready to quit yet maybe they still believe they will cashout huge or at they youthful age they decided to choose gambling as a career.
In my opinion you don't have to be an old man before you quit gambling like if you're not profiting from playing bet it's best to quit or retire before you turn to an addict. Have you not seen old men with good health gambling even if with loss he still feels comfortable but some young people they will always feel frustrated and depressed, in my opinion gambling doesn't require a particular age to quit but it depends on your health.

It seems you are misusing the two concepts: gambling and gambling addiction. The question OP asked was at what age would be appropriate for one to stop gambling and not when one would stop gambling addiction. Anyone who is suffering from gambling addiction. Should control his gambling activities through having a gambling budget and control the drive to gamble. They can seek help from family, friends or even therapists if need be.

When it comes to retiring from gambling, I am not sure there is any general age to quit gambling. There is usually a minimum age for gamblers but I have never seen a maximum age. Retirees will have more time and resources to gamble more. As much as I am healthy and still have some cash to spare, gambling for me is a lifelong journey. It is not just for the money but for the fun it brings to many. When all your children are grown up and the house has become boring, gambling might be a good source of entertainment.

Well said. Sometimes the forum just has lots of weird topics and ideas. Gambling is just another form of entertainment and I don't see why regular but responsible gamblers need to stop even at an old age unless they find another hobby or something more interesting to them.

What I noticed on land-based casinos though is there aren't many senior citizens playing. But maybe because I came from a developing country where the majority of the population isn't rich. However, every time I pass by a bingo casino in the nearby mall, it's flooded with old people, especially women.

Yes, that's right, there is no need to target the age for retirement, whenever they want to retire it will definitely have a good impact on them, moreover the sooner the better in youth or in old age as long as using the money for something more valuable will be better, so that the money is not wasted wasted on gambling and had to regret it at the end and in his old age. People definitely have the desire to retire as long as they feel that gambling is boring enough.

Moreover, it doesn't provide any more pleasure, so in my opinion retirement is the right way, because if you don't really enjoy the game and don't feel the pleasure in it, it will definitely be boring to play gambling, one of which is retiring to look for other, more enjoyable fun, whatever it is. because not everything that is fun comes from gambling.

Yes, you can stop whenever you want as long as you're not that attached in gambling because You may find it difficult to stop, especially if you are too invested in playing it. but then again, you can find a ways how to stop it as long as you are willing to stop it at early as possible, you can gambling but you have to be more responsible in your money and time so you will not ended up being wasted.

There is no age limit, the right time to stop gambling is when you can no longer gamble for various reasons. Humans are not always healthy, you can still gamble when you are healthy, but when you are sick or other things make it impossible for you to gamble anymore, then that is the right time to retire from gambling.
In general, gambling has no age limit, teenagers, adults and the elderly can still gamble and can retire at any time. Financial factors or place of residence can also make someone retire sooner from gambling.

[Russlenat]

You'll think of retiring when you are not having fun in gambling. After all, this is entertainment, right? Why would anyone deprive themselves of happiness with gambling? Though it is risky, one could lose as much money as possible if they don't manage the risk well. But with the thrill that we can feel here, it definitely brings some kind of satisfaction we cannot find in other services, or things we could buy, or any other form of entertainment.

Once you are a gambler, you find satisfaction when you're gambling.

If a person has been gambling for most of his life and really enjoyed it, then it will not be so easy for him to give up on them. Gambling gives us not only vivid emotions, but also gives us hope that one day we will hit a big jackpot and our lives will be able to change for the better. In my opinion, it is difficult to find any other entertainment that can replace all this. Well, maybe only investing in super risky assets.

The buttom line is at the end if a gambler seize to be making money both from gambling and otherwise, they will be forced to stop it. Whether it is done for leisure/fun or for financial gains, it involves money to embark on it and if it is not being sustained when you consistently lose, you go out of it. People who depend on gambling for profit will need to keep profiting and those who are playing for fun also will need third parties that will help them sustain it, so whichever way we look at it, we need money to continue staking for fun or for profit no matter the age bracket.

Your advice is general and I do not expect anyone who is gambling in so managing manner not to stop, they can of course stop at any age in this regard and can find better things to do with their lives. Gambling is not compulsory and if it's money you are looking for, you may want to wisely get it elsewhere, and if you are gambling for fun, you might want to switch games. But in reality, I do not know the person who would be gambling for fun but not for the money that would be addicted to it, that can happen only when the person is not sensible on his own. Is it not the fun of playing it that he/she wants? Then using a little money for betting will naturally grant them access to the gambling platform and they can play as much and as long as they want.

Besides, about the context here, as we get older, unless our gambling activities are positive to our lives, we should know that it's better we quit it, or again when it's at worse neutral. I can't imagine myself gambling beyond the age of 60, I do not know why I would do that. At that age upwards, I believe that we should already filter what we get into our heads, mental health is often taken for grounded but it is good if we could take it seriously and only allow the things that can add to us, not those that can subtract or affect us negatively.

Eliminate what does it mean?
When someone likes gambling, they won't be able to stop easily, don't you know that many gamblers are willing to borrow money to be able to continue their gambling sessions.
Money is not the only effective way to stop someone from gambling because the most important thing is awareness and also psychology for someone to get normal and decent life.

But I think age still has an influence and it is important for everyone to be able to determine when it is time to stop.
As an example, if you had an elderly father who liked to gamble and they were no longer able to work, would you let that happen?
I don't think you will let that happen, and when you reach old age you will definitely think and decide to stop because there is family that needs your time to be together and not just to gamble.

To be honest, I personally have an age limit that has been planned from the start, that when I reach old age and am not productive in making money, I would prefer to rest and spend time with my children and grandchildren.

That's right, they will not easily stop with their gambling especially if they have a gambling complaint where gambling cannot be separated from a person. There are also many gamblers who dare to take loans to fulfill their gambling desires as you said, this is a clear fact. A person who is addicted to gambling, of course, their mindset is no longer healthy and maybe they need help from a psychological expert in order to get rid of their thoughts about gambling alone.

Suppose there is a family member who is like you said, of course I would not let that happen, because old age should be enjoyed properly, if you spend young age gambling it seems like it will take up a lot of time, and time to gather with family can also be a little or not at all, what I'm afraid of is that my father is elderly but still likes to gamble, I'm afraid there will be a fight in the family, because what I know is that someone who is addicted to gambling can commit violence because he asks for money to gamble again, and I don't want this to happen to my family. I can't imagine what it would be like if this happened to my family. I myself like to gamble, it's just that I feel better now. because now I'm not too crazy with gambling, only gambling on weekends and even then if I want to.
