Can gambling addiction lead to domestic violence?

[Stepstowealth]

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.

Addiction can lead to domestic violence. An addicted gambler who looses all his money to gambling, goes home to his wife frustrated and angry, then demands more money but gets refused by wife can become angry and violent, beating up their partner.
An addicted gambler can also transfer the aggression whenever he looses to his wife, children, siblings, pets and even friends on the slightest provocation. It is a case that I have imagined in my head, but it can happen. Domestic violence is an extreme case of what addiction to gambling can also lead to.

Of course, this can happen, when an addict can no longer control himself and has large debts, then he will think about committing criminal acts such as stealing or perhaps committing domestic violence because of the stress of dealing with his own gambling problem.

I once read on a forum about a case of a grandfather who kidnapped his own daughter for money, I forgot where the post was. However, in my area, there are cases of young children who are determined to steal to get money, and there are also those who commit suicide because they are in large amounts of debt due to irresponsible gambling.

I think gambling addiction has often been discussed in forums and the dangers posed by gambling addiction are very dangerous

Gambling addiction can lead to domestic violence and it is one of the causes of divorce, separation, and broken families, the characters of those addicted to gambling are prone to anger and hurting their partners they are hard-headed and easily annoyed especially if they cannot sustain their addiction.
I read a lot of stories about those addicted to gambling blaming their family for their losses and for the money they spend on the family instead of using it to their addiction.
All the addicted gamblers I've encountered are very sensitive, easily get into a fight and they bring their anger from their losses inside their home, gambling addiction if not handled correctly can lead to domestic violence that can lead to separation of the family.
So if you want an intact family don't get addicted to gambling.

In my point of view, yes it is possible that addiction can make a person aggressive enough to lead to domestic violence but it is not directly but indirectly. For example, excessive amount of gambling addiction often leads people towards loss, moreover, due to this loss, many gamblers are often in debt, then they are also addicted to various drugs for the depression. Later, it can be seen that they cause domestic violence due to the rate of gambling.
Also I found in a survey that fifty percent of criminals who commit crimes are affected by gambling addiction although I don't remember the source yet. Moreover, in the news of my country, news is coming every day that a gambler killed another gambler due to their problem with gambling money. So considering these aspects, it can be said that gambling addiction does not only lead people towards domestic violence, but also towards bigger crimes.

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.

I read somewhere there is a study here in our country where 90% of addiction leads to domestic violence, in a country where there is a poor economy every cent and peso counts, so if money is allocated to gambling instead of buying bills and food on the table, there will be an argument that will lead to domestic violence, the wife cannot just take it and it will lead to separation.
This is why addiction is a big concern of our government because the family is the one that will suffer first if the head or any members of the family are addicted, if you're an average-income earner and you're betting, check and moderate yourself or it will lead to domestic violence that ruin your home.

Agree to this and even worst if the family member resorted to loaning which he/she use their property as collateral for money that spend on gambling. This kind of incident usually resulted to violence due to the losses involved.

People reaction as violence on dire situations is pretty common not only in poor country but also in 1st world country because we are talking about ruining the family finances over gambling addiction. But most of this incident happened on poor country because people here always resort to gambling as shortcut to earn quick rich instead of finding job that have a decent salary.

Addiction, in gambling, can definitely lead to violence especially if it gets out of control.

Naturally, excessive gambling can lead to a serious of problems both financially and physically. The addicted can get stuck in a cycle where they tend to continue gambling in order to recover their losses. Unfortunately, this leads to more things that may further escalate in which violence is always a tendency in this situation.

At the end of the day, gambling is one of those things that can spiral out of control when the person cannot control their urges. This can potentially lead to violence and even death especially if the situation cannot be controlled to a certain degree.

[Majestic-milf]

 There's definitely the tendency for gambling addicts to be violent. The feeling of being without a means to play is like they are missing out on their daily fix. It's like one who hasn't eaten, the aggression is bound to be there. They are called gambling addicts for a reason, meaning they cant have a control over it so asking if it could lead to domestic violence, even without proper statistics, we know the answer will be yes.
 True, it is warned that gamblers ought to gamble responsibily but you can agree with me that humans find it difficult to adhere to rules, it just takes one who is disciplined to keep himself in check. Have you not seen that even in cigarette packs that there's a warning for smokers, still they go ahead and do it all the same, so what makes you think they won't do same with gambling?

[decodx]

Yes. Gambling addiction can for sure spark domestic violence, just like any other addictions.  The anxiety, stress, and money struggles that come with betting addictions can make relationships way more tense.  This can cause gambling addicts to take stuff out on their partner screaming or getting physical.  

Gambling problems also mess with finances, which strains things at home.  Money fights and stress are common, and those Arguments over cash definitely make violence more likely too.

[karabiber]

If you have a heavy gambling habit, domestic violence and gambling can cause a lot of harm to your family. First of all, intensive gambling destroys trust in the family.  It leads to financial losses in the family and these losses lead to psychological and social problems, such as divorce and domestic violence.

Most importantly, the relationships that are entered into to finance gambling are reflected in the family order and its members. The more you lose at gambling, the more ambitious you become and the more you lose, and this has a very negative impact on peace in the family. I hope you do not have an intense gambling addiction. Because everyone can gamble at their discretion and do it for fun.

[electronicash]

when a gambling addict goes home and the first thing they hear is their nagging wife it really will boil the blood of the addict. and when he goes to the table without something to eat, it will turn the addict into a battering husband.

this is the kind of life in which the addict usually ends up either a drug addict or a gambling addict, especially if he doesn't contribute to making the wife's life easy.

Everything could be possible and this is something that you should really be wary about on which on the time that addiction hits then it would possibly make you do things which
you might been not be able to do for the rest of your life and this is something that would really be that normal specially into those people who do have those emotional problems
or having those temper problems because once you do able to encounter such frustration then you might be ending up these impulsive actions which it might cause harm into other people.

I have seen some situations in speaking about shoot out.

Is this one of those addicted gamblers? Or simply being hired on killing those people into that venue?

[moneystery]

this is very likely to happen when a gambling addict cannot control their emotions and when they behave more aggressively and cannot control themselves to be rude to other people. especially when there are things they don't like, such as losing at gambling or when other people tell them not to gamble, usually these things will lead to violence.

so far there have been many cases where domestic violence occurred because a gambling addict behaved aggressively towards their family when something triggered their anger. this has even become a concern for the government and several ngos because the victims of domestic violence caused by gambling addicts not only suffer physical injuries but also psychological ones which lead to deep trauma.

It's not gambling addiction that can lead to domestic violence; any kind of addiction may lead to malicious behaviors such as domestic violence, along with other mental illnesses in the background; it's never the addiction by itself. It puts you in a vicious cycle and can ruin you financially in an attempt to recoup previous losses. However, alcoholism is no better, and in my opinion, it's probably the worst addiction and the most likely to lead to domestic violence, not gambling. You can't have any kind of self-control when you're intoxicated.

Anyone who can't control themselves and resort to violence have major mental issues and lack of self control, the addiction is only the tree, but not the forest.

[abel1337]

I think yes. Addiction can make your mental health in dire as there are a lot of things rounding up to your mind. If the gambler has other issues like for example having short temper and anger issues, there's a high chance that the gambler who has an addition can result to domestic violence. A stressed gambler because of losses partnered with unstable mind, there's a fat chance that the gambler can commit a crime. What more if the gambler become intoxicated with alcohol or substance, it's an added chance that a gambler can do anything that he can think.

Over all it depends on the gambler's characteristics, there are added factors and being a gambling addict can be one of that factors why a gambler can commit a domestic violence.

Not sure if there is correlation between the two, maybe there are gamblers who has uncontrollable behavior, but maybe it's just a small percentage. Many of us here at one point becoming gambling addicts like myself, but I didn't recourse to domestic violence even if I lost all my money in one day. However, I will quote this study,

Harmful gambling involves the family in many ways. Families of problem gamblers are more likely to experience forms of domestic violence, and studies report high correlations between domestic abuse and the harms associated with gambling. Problem gamblers can be both victims and perpetrators of domestic violence. Gamblers may take their anger over gambling losses out on their partner. Irritation when they cannot gamble may also result in the loss of control over emotions. Conflicts regarding financial problems may also arise and can result in physical altercations. As the stress of gambling related harms builds, the partner and the problem gambler are more likely to lash out, often resulting in inter-partner violence. Children are also affected by harmful gambling. They may be witness to the violence between parents; a child may also be an easy target for a parent's stress and may suffer the physical and psychological consequences.

But as I have said, perhaps there are gamblers that losses everything, financially and psychologically that they blame everyone around them, their spouses or even their children to the bad luck they have in gambling.

It's possible, because addictions in general trigger aggressive behavior. If the gambler addicted is facing a long loss streak, losing money he can't afford to lose, hearing a lot of complaints at home from his wife regards his addiction, or is suffering from abstinence, it's possible he attacks her physically full of rage. Although not every addicted person will act like this. I think it will depend on their personal personalities and traits. Some people are more aggressive, while others are more passive and will tend to just get ashamed and depressive when confronted by their wives.

Potentially, it can get even worse when more than one kind of addiction are mixed, like for an example when the gambler is also an alcoholic or drugs user. In this case, I fear the combination might be fatal, and there is no other alternative for the wife besides getting ourt of the relationship as soon as possible for her own good and welfare of her children. Then the addicted individual can be sent to a rehabilitation clinic, and luckily, within time he can recover himself and adopt a new healthy lifestyle to be reintegrated to the society and family.

[lombok]

From what I actually see in the environment I live in, most gambling addicts are selfish. They prioritize their own desires without thinking and acting rationally. It is possible to act violently if one's desires are thwarted, but this does not apply to everyone. If they commit violence and crime, perhaps their own attitudes and traits are not due to gambling. However, gambling addiction can also be an additional driving factor for someone to commit crime and violence.

[Docnaster]

One common behavior among gambling addicts is the fact that they're always angry and emotionally hurt almost everytime which is caused by their continuous losses in the gambling engagements. It is because of that behavior of being prone to anger even on very little things that people are advised to not to always associate with them.

Gambling addiction can lead to domestic violence because whenever they're triggered as a result of their losses in gambling, they tend to transfer their aggression on anyone who's close to them. I've been opportuned to witness domestic violence that was caused by gambling addiction

I've said this kind of things severally because I know quite well that gambling addition is basically depend on people who want to recover their money which then lost true gambling or through staking so I believe that it is one of the major reasons or the one of major thing that causes gambling addition to whoever that is a gambler totally I believe that the gambling can make you to be addicted when you believe that you will win gambling everyday and every time that you take again or every time that you lose in gambling that is why we have to have a total number of game we bet in particular season or particularly or weekly so that we will know how much we have profited in gambling
