Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence?

[Webetcoins]

Being addicted to gambling can be a thorn in the flesh. We have heard many bad behavior from gambling addicts that shows that gambling is a serious concern requiring serious efforts at curbing it. Many casinos also include in their disclaimer "gamble responsibly" and this shows the danger of gambling addiction.

However, I'm wondering if addiction can make someone become aggressive to the point of leading to domestic violence. Has there been any known case of it happening? Lets know what you have to say.

I believe that gambling addiction alone cannot be the reason for that. It happens where there is a lack of education and literacy and where men are always disrespectful to women because a person who always respects women and is always good with their spouse and other family members will never start being violent after becoming a gambling addict. However, someone who has always been violent and aggressive even before becoming an addict, will surely become more violent because of it.

This mostly happens in rural areas where women are usually oppressed and are victims of domestic violence with no justice provided because they are threatened to not speak up about it in front of others. A man with such a mindset will have no second thoughts before getting violent if they don't have any money to spend on their gambling habits.

Seing someone who is a gambling addict already talk something about himself that he's unable to exercise a morale discipline from how he lives his life to the extent of being affected through the way he gambles,so there will be nothing much to doubt if someone like this exis and is found with such behavior, anybody who experience self indiscipline cannot be predictable for any reason on how far he can go with other things.

Their are people who gets violent on their loses especially the addicts and those who stakes with huge money, most of them release the aggression on their family, it may not look too intentional but some lacks this self control to restrain them from acting in such manner. It is good we build our mindset on whatever outcome, either a win or loss.

One of the reasons for the disgraceful actions taken against one of the family members is because they are gamblers who have no responsibility for their gambling activities and if this case really happened then maybe we can conclude that they are one of the gamblers who have been trapped in the addiction zone.

I think such actions are normal if done by an addicted gambler who has no responsibility in his gambling activities so that he vented his anger on the people around them, because typical gamblers like that they only want to win but do not want to experience defeat while on the other hand it is a fact that gambling is always about winning and losing, in the sense that you can end the session with a win or a loss. This is why not to ignore and prioritize more about the actual concept of gambling which is nothing more than an activity for profit in the sense that it has no certainty to guarantee you win at the end of the session, I am sure that by having or changing the understanding and mindset in a more appropriate and suggested direction then you will be able to become one of the responsible gamblers who can accept any results at the end of the session especially defeat.

Definitely. There had been reports of addicted gamblers being violent. But even people who are not gamblers are going to get violent when they find themselves with nothing in their hands. People without money usually are hot-tempered.

In a home where a father has no job but wants to provide for their family can become violent. The reason why some are robbing banks and stealing is because off no money and a gambler without money can be as dangerous as a hungry jackal

Most times violence in the house can be as a result of idleness. When a man is idle and is supposed to be the bread winner of the house and he is not doing anything to support or back up the family, it annoys him and in most cases, he becomes hostile and aggressive just to  express his frustration. Doing this alone causes violence at home. Gamblers too vent their frustration at home violently when they loses games and this also results to violence in their house.

Addiction can truly result in something as high as domestic violence and if care is not taken it could lead to something worse than just domestic violence into mental problems if not properly handled, so when a gambling addicts start to exhibit some funny characteristics those around him should do everything possible to keep him under control because it could slide unto a state that could become uncomfortable with both the addicts and those around him.


The worst thing that could happen to any family is to have a core addict who can't control his addictions or actions, and that level of addiction will need a doctor to get him treated or rehabilitated

I am sure problem gambling can lead to cases of domestic violence. Mostly, it is because the man of the family (who is addicted to gambling) does not have the means to get enough money to continue, so he uses money which was supposed to be used for the upkeep of the household, leading to arguments between the members of the family. If the man as a bad temper, then physical violence ensues.
I am sure it happens quite often with gambling, because I have heard about cases here in my city about men who are addicted to Videogames , specifically MOBAS like League of Legends, to the point of neglecting their wives and not working as much as they are supposed to meet the needs of the home.

I recall one occasion the wife tried to keep his husband from playing by setting a password to the computer, that unlashed the anger of the husband who physically assaulted her. Remember, we are talking about a videogame which does not have a direct relationship with the wager of money.

Imagine what would happen in scenarios where the husband is not addicted to MOBAS but to playing dices, Plinko or slots, the domestic violence would indeed be worse and if the wife does not report her husband because the social stigma it could bring to her and the rest of the family, she is likely to either continue to be a victim of violence and face the bankruptcy of his family.

Even a person is known to be calm, his attitude can still change, once he became an addict. When I say addict, this is not only limited to gambling but it can be be with drugs, video games, and others... They might be different but their nature is the same. It can give us a good dose of dopamine.

Many video games now are not free to play. There are some who are, but players has the option to deposit money so that they can buy their characters a skin and other stuffs which can enhance their gaming experience. This is very alarming, so we should ask the help of the authorities as soon as possible before it leads to brutal crimes.

It is not so much about being able to purchase skins or weapons for a game which is played in a multiplayer environment, there is nothing illegal about it, in my opinion, micro transactions are not good, many people do not like them but they do not have anything to do with gambling. On the other hand there are other mechanisms which could be considered to be very close to gambling, like the loot boxes.
Unlike normal and common micro transactions, with loot boxes, players cannot choose what their prize will be, for the same price one could get a very rare item or a common one, being the former worth thousands of dollars. It is basically gambling in disguise. Those I would be indeed in favor of being banned, since there are many children and teen who play those video games and could get addicted to loot boxes (gambling) from a very young age.

Though I haven't experienced any domestic violence caused by aggressive gambling addiction, but I know that it is possible for this to happen, just for instance when a man or man gambles with money meant for somethings in the family, any if the partner may react and such reaction may lead to a very brutal domestic violence, that's why is advisable for every gambler to have a limit to which he should spend his money, though addiction can not allow you to be free of this, once you are addicted, your desire for gambling increases and this will make you become the shadow of yourself at this point, it takes the grace of God to come out if this mess.

Venting their annoyance or frustration when they are at home is something that most often happens in households so that their children or wives will become victims of violence. Those who have lost at gambling will feel relieved if they have committed acts of violence against people at home because they were too afraid to take it out while they were still in the casino. They won't be able to take it out on them at the casino because there will be securities that will beat them up if they cause trouble. And that was his reason to vent his frustration due to his defeat on the people in his house.

It is true that gambling addiction can be a serious problem, and it is important to seek help if you or someone you know is struggling with it. However, it is important to note that not all people who gamble are addicted, and not all people who are addicted to gambling are abusive. In fact, many people who gamble are able to do so responsibly and without any negative consequences. There is a link between gambling addiction and domestic violence, but it is important to remember that this is not a causal relationship. In other words, gambling addiction does not always lead to domestic violence, and there are many other factors that can contribute to domestic violence.

However, someone who has always been violent and aggressive even before becoming an addict, will surely become more violent because of it.

Bro, this happens and it could happen to the person who has never raised his hand to beat his wife before, it depends on the amount lost, how the money affected the person or the spouse psychologically and how the woman handled the situation no matter what the money is meant for. Let us just pray that we are not tempted more than our capability, that is when you know if you can do it or not. Those who have lovely wives and mature women do not know what God has blessed them with, but if they are such that are so unlucky to be the kind of daredevil wives/partners, then anything can happen. This is because it's possible that an already battered man would be frustrated to the point that he would do what he didn't want to do. In some cases too, it might be the woman that would start the violence, so human nature matters really on how we can handle ourselves which I believe can never be the same way.

As you said, the environment could help well in this regard if such is not common, but in this situation, I believe that it is not the man who will be unruly but also the women in that environment. Because it can't always be violence and immaturity on the part of the women in that locality and the men will just be held like fools. It takes the two to behave well before they can respect each other and settle the situation amicably. Even if that situation happens in some homes, the wives will be the ones to calm the husbands and help them heal. But this is not the situation in all homes because the women may not handle it well and it might lead to other things that are not even related to gambling but just aggression due to it.

This is very possible, because he is addicted to gambling, this shows that he has poor emotional control. So when he encounters a problem in the family, he finds it difficult to respond to the problem wisely and instead of solving the problem, he actually makes the situation worse. Where when the wife complains about problems in the family, the husband (gambling addict) instead of looking for a solution, he instead scolds his wife and a quarrel occurs, which ends in domestic violence.

Based on this, it is not gambling that is wrong, but bad behavior that makes him worse off and suffering. because when it comes to gambling, it depends on who is playing it. And it needs to be understood that gambling is a form of entertainment only, and is not a top priority.

It is obvious that some gamblers do make such mistakes of transferred aggression at home after losing at gambling casinos. It is true that at casinos, there are Security's to enforce law and orderliness when gambling and with the presence of those security officers, losers can not act funny because if they do, they would be properly dealt with so in that case, a frustrated gambler would take his annoyance and anger home to vent it on his family there by causing domestic violence without minding the consequences of his actions.

Addiction leads to violence at some point. If an addicted person, regardless of the cause, is abandoned and not taken care of, his trouble will eventually grow to a violent stage. Where he'd get paranoid over little things and tend to yell at people around him or in his circle. In the life of a gambling addicted person, his troubles are related to loss of money, which is very disturbing to the gambler. A gambler who is careless about wagering habit, can end up being violent, because he'd be neglecting other financial responsibilities. Which when reminded of him, he could get sad and begin to quarrel over it, since he has no money to solve the responsibility. Most of them, aggressive gamblers, end up being upset if a person tells them that gambling is the reason for their trouble. They think gambling is right, and attack anyone who thinks otherwise.

The worst impacts of gambling vary greatly, but the average is known based on research and cases that have occurred. Especially in serious addicts, they can lose control over their money, emotions and psychology. They are very likely to commit acts of violence due to losing control of their emotions and that is a really bad consequence.

If a gambler has reached the stage of losing control of his emotions and tends to take it out on anyone, including family, then perhaps the gambler really deserves to receive rehabilitation. Bad addiction and wrong thought patterns make his behavior bad, of course he must get treatment so that he at least has a mindset and behavior that is responsible for the consequences of gambling.

But the gambler can take his anger home and take it out on the people in his house. That is where there is violence in the household, which is caused by the gambler venting his anger towards his household. This domestic violence has occurred in many households and is caused by many things, not only from gambling but from other things. Those who gamble should be able to control their emotions so they don't lose control of themselves when gambling and don't take out their frustrations on the people in their house.

I think something, if we don't let's see , the things when you have an Addiction the person must be very Controlled in their emotions , if they have a family, then things or they must do them logically , they must respect their family , they must respect what that he has , cannot lead to domestic violence , generally a person who is not addicted usually gets many bad ideas into his head, for example, when we are in a Physical casino it is Very easy for Alcoholic beverages to be given , and If Suddenly things are not Controlled in the drinking , apart from losing in the game, one arrives drunk at the bar, that's the only thing, but because one can do it And one has to do it, I don't agree that a person becomes pogna like that because it's the only one, but, one like Human must know that things cannot happen like that, in this case we when we see him are still addicted, we must tell him Something, because he does not drink more because that means that a Whole person is going to spend more than I name it because the emcones become inhibited and there is no Longer any type of filter, if all the diene is used up, it is used up and that's it.

Addictions are always going to bring bad things for the person who has it and for their friends, family and those around them, because it is something that Affects Everything and Affects Everything it touches, I have seen how many people not only They lose their money , they get into Terrible debts, they lose friends because the friends lend them money and since the Player does not have the capacity to pay, they lose those Friendships Those friendships cause Problems Because they have to Pay them and apart from everything they end up with banks and all this can happen Given that things are going in favor of the people who have the problem cannot be Defended , I have always said that a person will always do the Right thing so that they Avoid many problems, because everything can be lost, but at most it is losing the Family, Due to Irresponsibility.

Gamblers undergo series of challenges, such as being violent with loved one, which is the worst among every other trouble a gambler could face in his entire life. Because on the long run, the family is all we've got at home. If we make it unbearable or uncomfortable for people there, it'll also get to be a no safe staying for the gambler. Hence, he'd find himself spending most of his time in the casino. As he's already caused troubles in his home and made it uncomfortable for himself and family. Thereby causing more addiction on the gambler. Whenever he's at home could be to sleep, because the violence he started has not been settled and he wouldn't have the energy to keep up with it, especially when he stays with vibrant and aggressive people. Gamblers are required to respect the emotions of the people around them, to keep them safe from being sad or over reactive to few negative results that could pop out from their gambling activity.

When someone is addicted to gambling, he will not think about other things, including his family, because he just wants to continue gambling, and it seems he will not stop even if he no longer has money. He will forcefully ask for money from people in his house and may even commit violence against those in his house in order to have money to continue his gambling activities. If they already have a gambling addiction and other addictions, such as drinking alcohol, it will only make their family's life worse because they will definitely commit domestic violence against the people in their house. He will not think about the fate of the people in his house, including his children, who may still be small. He only cared about himself; he wanted to gamble and drink because those were the only things that could make him happy. He no longer cared what the outcome of everything was because his mind was no longer able to think clearly. He had actually spent so much money that he had forgotten the total amount and no longer had anything of value because everything had been sold just to satisfy his lust for gambling and drinking.

Yes, addiction will have a bad impact on him and his family, especially since it has happened to several families. Those who are in the gambling addict's circle have really suffered because of the gambling addict's actions and cannot think about what they should do. They really need help from other people around them, but because of the pressure from the gambling addict, their family doesn't dare to tell the people around them and can only hide their suffering. Their family life is no longer predictable because there are so many problems that come and go that they no longer know how to solve the problems. There is still a debt that must be paid immediately, and that was caused by the gambling addict who also borrowed money from several people and only said he would return the money. But he still couldn't return the money because he didn't have any more money.

Gamblers who have become addicted to gambling will no longer pay attention to their families because their focus has changed to gambling, and they will gamble more often than before. His family will experience the negative impact of the gambling addict's behavior, so they will suffer even more and will no longer know what they can do to get out of this problem. Maybe they think they will cure the gambling addict, but it is not easy because the gambling addict will not want to admit that he has a gambling addiction. He will only fall deeper into gambling without being able to get out of gambling easily. He will only add suffering to his family without thinking that, in fact, he has already caused a lot of problems for his family. He has also committed acts of violence against his family members just to ask for money to continue his gambling activities.

Many players have normal thoughts and emotions before they gamble, but later become aggressive when they start gambling. They have developed the hot-headedness even in small things and what's worse is that they gets angry at the people around them. I used to think it was inborn that they have such behavior where they become aggressive and always angry, but later on, I found out that it is actually possible to develop changes in a person depending on their lifestyle and current situation. If gambling leads to domestic violence, it means that a gambler is in the worst condition and needs help from medical professionals to provide a solution on how to be calm and composed.
