Indirect victims of gambling addiction

[ARTOIS]

Hi community,

As with any addiction, the effects of addiction to games of chance and betting do not fall on the gambler alone. It affects the family, friends, relatives, and everyone around him, and may lead to the deterioration of their conditions.

It negatively affects social relationships and at the marital level. Pathological gambling can be described as a side relationship. The gambler invests his attention in gambling at the expense of the spouse, whom he sometimes repays to cover his infidelity. The marital relationship is destabilized against a background of lack of trust, helplessness, and anxiety about what will happen in the future.


Gambling and accumulated debts  lead the gambler to a moral collapse that may even amount to an existential threat to family members. Gamblers do not hesitate to sell property to finance their debts, take loans from relatives without any ability to repay the debts, and in extreme cases they may even physically harm family members.

Partners in dependency - Relatives often try to "understand" the addict and help him, by paying off his debts, while accepting his promise to stop gambling, a promise he is unable to keep. More than once, family members come to the aid process, becoming partners so that they become “addicted” to the therapeutic process. But help works in exactly the opposite direction instead of helping the gambler wean off, they perpetuate his condition. These partners, such as parents or spouses, may find themselves in great distress that requires treatment.

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

It is as simple as saying those that financially dependent on the gambler. The only people that may not depend on the addicted gambler but not happy about their son or daughter addiction are parents.

I prefer ways to avoid the addiction than those that are indirectly affected.

[Frankolala]

It is quite unfair that gamblers get addicted, and use their addiction to disturb the peace and welfare of their families and relatives, even with their friends, by taking loans and debt without being able to pay them and leave the responsibility for their loved ones to carter. Most times the family members will have no option than to help them pay these debts, but the worst of it is when the gambler is bring shame to the family and dragging the family name on the mud.

Some spouse might not be able to tolerate such attitude from the partner, and they will seek for divorce due to the frustration that the addicted gambler is putting them through. While some will take it as their responsibility to handle whatever ugly situation that the gambler attracts to himself. It is good that as a gambler, we try to caution ourselves on how will go about our gambling activities, and how much that we are using to gamble, so that we don't end up becoming an addict, and become a problem to our friends and families. Gamble responsible.

Typically only family and friends are the typical affected party of gambling addict since that’s the peer they usually interact. You already covered the most typical indirect victims of gambling addiction.

I have one time a schoolmate that is addicted on computer games gambling(betting on his game). He typically borrows money from me for his bet that he usually forget to pay voluntarily. Our friendship ended when he didn’t pay me when I ask the money and he has the audacity to het angry with me. His gambling addiction destroyed our friendship in school. I believe this is common now since there’s already online gambling but back then this kind of addiction is very rare.

Society, in general, will also be affected by gambling addiction. It's a big failure of society and the government if they have a huge number of gambling addicts. There will be a significant rise in criminality perpetrated by those addicted to gambling who, because of gambling addiction, commit robbery and crimes just to sustain their addiction.
Peace and order are very important in a society but if they cannot sustain and maintain peace and order, there will be chaos which is why the government prohibits, restricts, and regulates gambling because it can lead to addiction that will eventually lead to a rise of criminality and everybody will suffer.

[Accardo]

Addiction affects everyone in the society where the person belongs, whatever problem we face in life affects our environment. Because, the information would circulate around the society, and toddlers will get to hear about the misfortune an addicted ward has caused to his family. Even the funds thrown into gambling affects the flow of income in the society. That's what existentialism is about. The only difference is that the closer you are emotionally with the addict the harder it gets for you to forget his struggle. The addict's mother stays with the emotional breakdown for a long time, as she'll have to deal with the too many questions and explanations from other acquittances in the society. Some parents like the dad, may claim to be strong enough to wave out the thoughts, but at some point, he'll deal with it and think it through, thereby hurting himself. Distant relatives, also get affected, but easily forget about it, because they're quite far from the person. It depends on the addict's loved ones, who are present to experience, firsthand, the trouble their brother is undergoing.

If the addict is married, his kids, and wife will suffer many pains, because of their economy not staying stable anymore, and they may be abused, due to mood swing caused by too many losses. The healing process for the gambler is quite easier if his family are closer to him and wants him out of the fight. In most conditions the family tend to delay the therapy process, as they feel their ward didn't listen to them when they advised him not to gambler anymore. The healing approach is different per family. But, in all, the addict, deals with the most pain, when he is cured from addiction. He'd get to reminisce over the pains he's caused his loved ones, and may try to make it up to them, if he's a good person and values appreciation. Some people whom I've experienced, never thanked their friends or family for saving them, instead they took the glory for going through the pains and made it out free. People are different and causes more pains to their loved ones. Nothing beats real atonement, when we wrong those who matter so much to us in life.

[Z-tight]

Gambling addiction is just like every other negative addiction, it affects the addict and the people who are closest to them, gambling addicts are going to lose relationships with those who care about them, their friends and loved ones would want to stay far away from them, because their addiction can bring others down with them, so sometimes it is better to stay away. If you want to help your loved one who is an addict, then it is recommended that you guys seek professional help, they might get better after that and recover relationships they have lost.

Gambling indeed has many impacts on its users, but apart from negative impacts, positive impacts have also been felt by the users themselves, including family, friends and also the surrounding environment.

Now we understand, gambling will indirectly lead to bad things for themselves and their families, but not all bad things are felt about the effects of gambling, many of those who gamble use money from their own side income, outside of basic income, for example: salary, etc., thus one conclusion can be drawn here, gambling can bring luck and loss, this can happen depending on their understanding and how they gamble.

[yahoo62278]

A gambler isn't going to stop unless they want to. You can support them and try to show them love, but until they get it in their brain that gambling is not life, they will keep gambling. How do you stop the cycle? IMO educating your kids goes a long way in breaking the cycle. Teach them what can happen if you let gambling consume your life. Show them the loss, heartbreak, death.

One of the indirect victims is work or the company, it is hard to be productive if your mind wanders on gambling, and the company will suffer because of low productivity brought by people who cannot handle their gambling activity, just imagine if there are 5 gambling addicts within a company, the company will breakdown and they will have to fire these people and train new people to replace these people especially if the affected workers are those from upper rank.
These are indirect parties that will suffer from people who are addicted to gambling.

[bittraffic]

Gambling addicts are no different from any of us, they would feel guilty too upon knowing that they have ruined the future of their kids as they spend all their money that is supposedly meant for a college education of their kids. Somehow these people are chasing their jackpot dream to win big but it's still unsure if they stop gambling if ever they win the jackpot.

It's like they are caught between chasing that jackpot dream and getting back to where they once were. A high school friend was like this but after his father died he was left with no one taking care of the family business. He turned out to be responsible after the death. Rumor was that he left his old father alone and then got a heart attack.
I hope they will not wait for something big will happen before they become responsible.

[masulum]

Money can still be earned, by working hard every day. Finances may be will be on negative impact when gambling without control. However, the most miserable for gamblers is the damage to their relationship or with their family. I think, a similar topic seems to have been created before. And I commented about the broken potential of family relationships as a result of gambling habits. I understand that there are some who accept their husband/wife, or parents show their son/daughter addicted in gambling. However, most of them experience cases of divorce or parents abandoning their children, because they are addicted to gambling and cannot be stopped, and bringing bad/negative effect for their family not just about loan but also criminal.

[$crypto$]

I always think that gambling must be prepared to lose and should not be excessive. I know that it is difficult to realize when you are addicted but there we must understand that from addiction, everything will be affected, including spouses and families, so be wise as a gambler if you have more money, please play but if the money is mediocre then don't force it to play.

Have heard many stories like this and almost commonplace in some articles where they are damaged in terms of family due to gambling.
I will not blame the casino or anyone else but we must realize that gambling must be responsible so that you can control it.

[BlackBaron]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

What suffers the most loss here is the gambler himself, as a result of failing to control his emotions to gamble responsibly. Of course, all the people closest to you for the first time will be willing to provide financial assistance, motivation and support to stop. But if you fail to maintain the trust of those closest to you, they will no longer care, and will of course keep their distance so as not to be affected by the gambler's careless actions. If you lose the attention of the people closest to you, a gambler will easily get depressed. In fact, there are many impacts that can arise from gambling, but if you can manage your gambling activities well then everything will be fine, this means you need to set limits when you want to gamble.

[EluguHcman]

That is the reality truth about the effects of an addicted gambler. It brings about shameful personalities that is most concerned within the addicted gamblers relatives and not the gambler himself because at such a time, the gambler is being careless and unconscious about reputations.

I know about an addicted gambler who borrows money to fund his gambling but does not care paying back instead he goes after others to borrow more.
The family was called on the attention about the guy being indebted in several places which lead the gamblers relatives to get him arrested, he signed and undertaking that he would not gamble again before he was released from the detention.

Just after 2 day he started gambling again after in about a week he has been indebted with over $500.
At this time the relatives had to make it a public announcement that no one should borrow money from to the guy again and if anyone is heard of borrowing him money that person will be arrested. Then the relatives also cleared the debts.

When he could not reach out to funds for further gambling he started selling the he families belongings and when he was caught on the act, they got him at home arrest being locked up in the room without the chances of steeping out from the house.
This guy really brought about bad images to his family and relatives and he has so caused them lost of funds in paying his debts and the emotional challenges that their own has becomes useless to life.
Shame.

I think workmates are also part of this as these gambling addicts may also have been employed and even gave headaches to their colleagues by asking or borrowing money from coworkers. This scenario might not happened to you but it actually does with me. I remember way back 2011-2012 I was working in an electronic company and since I am a friendly guy I met a lot of new workmates in the production area where this gambling addict was working as well. Fast forward, months had passed I noticed that this guy's behavior changed and based on my observation he is troubled by something, not until our team leader shared that the guy used the money for his gambling activities. That money was actually raised from their group who initiated a "savings and lending" system that is very common here in my country. That guy's job was affected as he is not that productive anymore, he is in trouble sometimes with coworkers and that made him quit the job but he promised to repay what he owes to my coworkers in three months though it really was paid but they waited for like five months until it was fully paid. Months later I've seen him being hired in another electronic company wearing white shirt that indicates he is newly hired.

That really affected the entire production area during that time because the members of that savings and lending system wanted their money back immediately because they have an intended use for that money.

[blckhawk]

It's really sad that this kind of thing happens, I wouldn't really mind someone doing something that's really bad in my perspective but then when things get heated and problematic, other people get caught with their failures to control themselves and preventing themselves from getting a violent outburst.

This isn't always the case but other people that's playing with the gambling addict or within the vicinity of the gambling addict could also be considered an indirect victims and what I mean when I say that's not the case most of the time is because there's not a lot of times that a gambling addict goes to a psychotic episode or outbursts because they've got some kind of problems at that time and so when these outbursts happen, they tend to cause some form harm or annoyance towards those people, even the casino staff, this is a unique case though as these indirect victims can only be seen in physical casinos.

It is quite unfair that gamblers get addicted, and use their addiction to disturb the peace and welfare of their families and relatives, even with their friends, by taking loans and debt without being able to pay them and leave the responsibility for their loved ones to carter. Most times the family members will have no option than to help them pay these debts, but the worst of it is when the gambler is bring shame to the family and dragging the family name on the mud.

Some spouse might not be able to tolerate such attitude from the partner, and they will seek for divorce due to the frustration that the addicted gambler is putting them through. While some will take it as their responsibility to handle whatever ugly situation that the gambler attracts to himself. It is good that as a gambler, we try to caution ourselves on how will go about our gambling activities, and how much that we are using to gamble, so that we don't end up becoming an addict, and become a problem to our friends and families. Gamble responsible.

      -     It's a big problem when the gambling you use comes from debt, and when it reaches your relatives or family, it's a big headache for them. It would be okay if we were the only ones affected the most; we still have loved ones.

This is really not a good idea, as long as we can be responsible gamblers, and being good gamblers guarantees that they will not let their family or loved ones be affected.

One of the indirect victims is work or the company, it is hard to be productive if your mind wanders on gambling, and the company will suffer because of low productivity brought by people who cannot handle their gambling activity, just imagine if there are 5 gambling addicts within a company, the company will breakdown and they will have to fire these people and train new people to replace these people especially if the affected workers are those from upper rank.
These are indirect parties that will suffer from people who are addicted to gambling.

They will be fired from their jobs when their superiors catch them, it is not right to play gambling via online at the same time because it will affect their work in the company, and the company will be angry with them.

Gambling addiction affects not just the gambler but his friends, family, and job.  There was a report where a young student committed suicide because he used his school fees as well as accommodation money to gamble. He had to kill himself when he lost all the money. A news outlet confirmed that this was not the first time he had used his school fees for gambling. But his parents kept replacing the money and always encouraged him to quit gambling. I was just considering the loss the parents have to suffer. They have wasted their money raising him and paying his bills because of his gambling addiction. His death is a big loss to his friends and family members.

So many gamblers have subjected their families to untold hardship because they have used money to provide basic needs for gambling. Apart from financial effects, it could lead to friction in family relationships. There was also a report of a man who left his two-year-old twins at home alone because he wanted to visit a casino. The wife might not be pleased with such behavior and file for a divorce.

Some gamblers are so entangled with gambling that they gamble during work hours. This has led to the loss of manhours and a decrease in productivity. Gambling can even cause a lack of concentration on the job which can lead to costly errors. Some have even gone to the extent of using company funds that were budgeted for specific projects to gamble. Any gambling addict who controls the finances of his organization might misuse the firm's funds.

I do not know the statistics of gambling addicts worldwide, however, we know that the incidence of gambling addiction is rising worldwide and in the next 50 years it may have tripled. Countries that have a good healthcare systems ready to cater for gambling addicts in terms of therapy, rehabilitation etc will not feel indirect effect. But those countries especially developing countries where that have a weak health care system coupled with the high cost of seeing a therapist or even an insurance that can subsidize it would not have it easy.

In my estimation, in addition to the spouse, family, friends, relatives, and everyone around being indirectly affected by gambling addiction, another party that will be indirectly affected  is the health care system of the country where the addict resides in, especially those living in developing countries where that weak system cannot accommodate and effectively rehabilitate gambling addict.

[Plaguedeath]

That really affected the entire production area during that time because the members of that savings and lending system wanted their money back immediately because they have an intended use for that money.

Just like proverb "a rotten apple spoils the barrel", such people should be kicked because it will harm other people. I'm surprised even the team leader know if he's a gambling addict, he didn't report him to HRD because AFAIK most of company didn't accept gamblers. Most people think gamblers are lack of money management and they could steal company's money to gamble.

[|MINER|]

And addicted gambler and his addiction on gambling can be very dangerous for the family and friends at the same moment. I think only one gambling addicted person is enough to destroy a family. I have seen lots of incidents like that gambler make debt by playing gambling and the family got on the trap. And I have seen that an gambler take money from his friends for gambling and leave away after losing the fund. So yes it is true that friends and family can be indirect victims of gambling addiction.

[Gozie51]

Hi community,

Partners in dependency - Relatives often try to "understand" the addict and help him, by paying off his debts, while accepting his promise to stop gambling, a promise he is unable to keep. More than once, family members come to the aid process, becoming partners so that they become “addicted” to the therapeutic process. But help works in exactly the opposite direction instead of helping the gambler wean off, they perpetuate his condition. These partners, such as parents or spouses, may find themselves in great distress that requires treatment.

You have said it all. When a gambler is not married, his dependence being the parents or people whom are his care givers are those that get troubled and affected by his gambling woes and when the gambler is married then the wife and children bear the brunt when he doesn't want to stop. They are the ones that will bear his financial indeptedness whether directly or indirectly when those troubles come, because a creditor may go overboard to seek remedy by taking his family to be part of him if he (the debtor) sees that is the only way to recover back his loan, property or other debts.

However, the other layer are the friends but they are not very much involved, they play advisory role to the gambler but when the troubles starts to brew, it is the family or parents that really get affected.

[Yatsan]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

It is as simple as saying those that financially dependent on the gambler. The only people that may not depend on the addicted gambler but not happy about their son or daughter addiction are parents.

I prefer ways to avoid the addiction than those that are indirectly affected.

Not only those whoch are dependent 'coz even the simplst people around a gambling addict would be affected; no man is an island. Perhaps his friends, they would be for sure asked for money to be borrowed by him. Now, indeed we may refuse to do so but not all people could resist someone especially if he's special to his friends; the guilt of not lending him the money and the idea that they are supporting the addiction if ever they would be allowing the assumed request, could be stressful. It could also be normal people who he interact with, if he's in huge loss then there's a high tendency for him to be grumpy and could be affecting other people he will come across with.

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

What suffers the most loss here is the gambler himself, as a result of failing to control his emotions to gamble responsibly. Of course, all the people closest to you for the first time will be willing to provide financial assistance, motivation and support to stop.

Absolutely, the gambler will take most of the 'damage' from addiction. Addiction simply affect one's functioning especially daily routines. If he has work then that would be the first where it would be evident; poor work performance and employee relation. Not to mention that salary won't be used wisely due to the urge of gambling continuously. Just like with other addictions, it will have the same symptoms however in gambling, it is more devastating to one's life simply because of the core involvement of money, not to compare but just stating facts.

[yazher]

Only a few gamblers affect their friends when they are addicted to gambling because their friends are mostly gamblers themselves and they are not bothered by their friends' actions because they are one of them with the same vibes, as for their families, rarely do you see a whole family are gamblers instead those who are addicted to gambling are just a few from them which cause huge problems to others because they are asked for money or else their things will get stolen. At least, this is what happening in our community, They are causing some problems for their families by making them pay some debt or they are not getting any sustenance from them because of their addictions, especially those who have wives and children.

[Kavelj22]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

It is as simple as saying those that financially dependent on the gambler. The only people that may not depend on the addicted gambler but not happy about their son or daughter addiction are parents.

Not only those who are financially connected to the gambler, but it can be generalized to all those who have moral relationships with him, such as family members (in general), close friends and neighbors. This is because excessive gambling affects a person's entire behavior in such a way that it affects all his relationships. It is true that some close people can end the relationship with him and avoid the resulting troubles, but there are types of relationships that are not affected by all circumstances and are able to withstand. I can mention to you a personal experience with a friend who was addicted to gambling. We were all his friends helping him try to overcome his ordeal, and none of us thought of abandoning him, even though his behavior often became hostile and he tended to temporarily boycott everyone who wanted to help him. These are symptoms of illness, and those close to them who are concerned should be aware of this.

[moneystery]

when there is a gambling addict in the house, whether it is a child or a father/mother, then all family members are affected. whether it's mental stress, emotions, or the impact of domestic violence that might occur. and over time this will become an emotional wound that will leave an impression on the victims and that will affect relationships within the family. and it is possible that this will spread to bad relations with neighbors and the surrounding environment, perhaps because of the commotion that usually occurs and that makes the neighbors uncomfortable with the gambling addict and his family.

therefore, the victims of gambling addicts can be several parties and recovery for the victims is not that easy and professional psychological recovery is needed, especially for cases that involve domestic violence.

[Crypto Library]

That is true like I can say it is happened with me also. One of my friend is heavily gambling addicted And he spends most of the day gambling. And one day I and some of my friends hangout with him in his house and in the crowd of words he picked up that he won 6000 dollars from only 30 dollars. And he was talking about various techniques that must be done in this way to win.  And where its tempting I also fall for the lure and I also place my big amount for gambling as a result I lose my fund.  In fact, all the techniques he talked about were just imagination, they are not really useful, basically all depends on the algorithm.  And this is my short story gambling addicted person being my friend I am affected.

[boty]

And I have seen that an gambler take money from his friends for gambling and leave away after losing the fund. So yes it is true that friends and family can be indirect victims of gambling addiction.

That's right, everyone who has experienced an addiction to gambling will of course be able to easily carry out bad actions when they have the desire to gamble and they don't have the funds to gamble and the people who most often get these actions are the people closest to them who they want. ask for money for various reasons they give and after they get the money they will use it for gambling.

I Understand the situation perfectly, things with addicts may have affected many, and that is what we, when we sit down to play, must realize that not only the people who suffer from it also suffer those who are always making a difference next to them. We, our family, friends, they affect everyone, all these things are what we must see, that is why we have to understand responsibility and mature it in every sense, because we cannot be thinking that these things are so simple, that we can play with our things.

Sometimes the people who become Addicted do not give importance to what they have to lose, they do not give importance to family things, nor do they feel sorry for anything, they do not care about shame if they have it or not, for example The reason is that we have to make a difference, that is why these topics are Useful to help Everyone we can.

[sokani]

These are some of the ways persons connected or related to a gambler can be affected when he's addicted:

• His business may crumble and his employees may lose their jobs.
• His family may go hunger.
• His family may be sent packing by the landlord because of inability to pay rent.
• The children may be sent out of school because of inability to pay school fees.
• A family member may even die because of lack of funds for proper medical care.

As a gambler you need to keep your gambling habit in check and never allow it get to the point of addiction. At any point you find yourself being addicted, quickly seek help.

[crwth]

I think mostly the family of the addicted gambler is affected by his actions. With something that definitely if he has control, it would be a different case. I think it's mostly about the fact that if he is neglecting responsibilities, that would result in the poor action that he has. He has no way of making it back since he is addicted. I think the wife/husband that he/she has would have that kind of indirect effect because of gambling. The amount of pressure the spouse receives if it gets out or something would make them very judged or affect the person's mental stability.

You really need to admit it to yourself if you are experiencing something similar.

[uneng]

There isn't a single victim of gambling addiction, as we live in connected chains of social relationships. It's well known the most affected ones besides the addicted himself are the family members, especially children, as we have already discussed on this forum several times on different threads and opportunities. However, it doesn't end there. Gambling addiction has as one of the main negative impacts damage to financial structure of the family, which will directly impact their purchasing power and access to different services, including a very essential one: education.

If you can't give proper access to education for your children and even for yourself and your wife, you are going to stay behind in a very competitive society and world like ours. Moreover, it's less money you are going to have to inject in your local community and economy, so everyone who are potential services providers around you will suffer, because they are seeing potential customers falling for addiction.

Imagine a society where addiction is spreading fast and taking control of everyone. How are these people going to have money to pay for a living and keep the economy going on? That is not possible, therefore, total decadence is just a matter of time. In conclusion, to answer your question, it could be said that indirect victims of gambling addiction are every individuals of a society, when addiction rates have become an epidemic.

[Quidat]

Usually the indirect victims could neither be wife/husband or your closest family members on which if time and financial has been compromised then expect that
results could really be affecting out into those people who is around you on which gamblers whom had been addicted with gambling wont really be tending to look after those things
as long they do have that kind of addiction towards themselves on which it is really that sad. People around you would really be trying out to help you to resolved out that addiction
on which they do know that they would really be affected once this thing would really be lasting out or comes to that severe point or condition.

It is really just that sad that there are tons of relationships that had been crushed up due to too much addiction on which we do know that
regrets do always comes at the end and not from the start.

[ethereumhunter]

When there is no awareness from a person who gets addicted to gambling about the impacts that other people can get, they can not see the impact but the other people will feel the impact. The people around the addicted person will get what that person do and that is bad for them because they don't know how to solve the problems. If they can realizes that person addicted to gambling, they will ask that person to cure himself so they don't give the bad impact to other people. We know that his family will feel the directs impact due to his addiction to gambling but the addicted person will not realize that because they only focus with their gambling activity. The indirect victims of gambling addiction will be his friends around him and other people who doesn't knowing him closer because he can borrows money from other people easily to continue playing gambling. The other people then asking his family to repay the money because of him.

I would like to think that once an individual has gotten to a leadership position in life mostly which comes as a result of the experience they have gotten which has elevated them in a certain area of life, they begin to attract admirers and mentees. They become mentors to young aspiring minds. That's those who look up to the leaders and their leadership prowess and someday wish to be like them.

These are the people I believe are indirect victims because the mentor might have a gambling addiction problem that is well hidden from day light and be well indebted or be in a mentally unstable way while parading as a diplomat or academia and be well loved and admired by all who know less.

Now I can only but magine how heartbroken and disappointed the mentees will feel when they get to find out their beloved mentor has a secret gambling addiction that has eaten deep into his financial life and has destroyed his career and family and has made the mentor become homeless.

Let's face it, gambling can be fun... until it's not. We've all heard stories of how someone's gambling habit goes sideways, leaving a trail of financial stress, broken trust, and hurt feelings in its wake. It's like a bad roommate who never leaves and trashes the place – not cool. Gambling addiction can wreak havoc on finances. Debts pile up, savings vanish, and loved ones might get dragged into the mess, having to help pay off the bills. This financial strain puts a huge damper on everyone's mood, turning family game nights into "who wants to avoid the debt collector?" nights. Not exactly a recipe for fun.

It's not just the money; the emotional toll is massive. Watching someone you care about struggle with addiction is tough. It can lead to feelings of helplessness, anger, and frustration for everyone involved. The gambler might feel ashamed and isolated, pushing loved ones further away. It's a lose-lose situation.

[Ever-young]

And addicted gambler and his addiction on gambling can be very dangerous for the family and friends at the same moment. I think only one gambling addicted person is enough to destroy a family. I have seen lots of incidents like that gambler make debt by playing gambling and the family got on the trap. And I have seen that an gambler take money from his friends for gambling and leave away after losing the fund. So yes it is true that friends and family can be indirect victims of gambling addiction.

That's right, everyone who has experienced an addiction to gambling will of course be able to easily carry out bad actions when they have the desire to gamble and they don't have the funds to gamble and the people who most often get these actions are the people closest to them who they want. ask for money for various reasons they give and after they get the money they will use it for gambling.

That's just one among the several side effects of addictive gambling, it's very tragic that gambling addiction makes people to manipulate and lie to their loved ones just because they can get money to fund their gambling habit. Sometimes it may not really be the fault of the victim, because some people who find themselves in such a situation fight tooth and nail to break through but the addiction may have eaten too deep into them that it seems almost impossible for them to break through and even when they don't wish to, they just find themselves doing some of those things being driven by their addiction.

On the time that you do find out yourself on such extreme addiction then it would be always ideal that you should really be telling your family or loved ones in regarding about your addiction and not
really just that trying to hide it from them. Its understandable on why those addicts would really be hiding such thing is that they dont like on being scolded and being criticized on which it would really be
just that a normal approach and reaction or thing in mind with those persons who had been suffering with such addiction. It is really that impossible that you cant be able to determine
on what are the things that you are doing but well when extreme addiction hits then there's no limit for someone to do on whatever he does have in mind.

For sure it would really be affecting out into those people who is around you not only on emotional aspect but surely mainly on financial aspect.

[Findingnemo]

There are gamblers who are not addicted to gambling or atleast they are aware of their limits.

And this thread is only about the addicted ones who get themselves caught in difficult situation which does reflect on their family too , wife/husband, parents and sometimes siblings too depends on the age category.

It's hard but that's the truth so everyone who wants to get short term pleasure should be cautious while approaching or else they could be lead to loss of their joy in their life.

If a gambler has become an addict, his priorities do not include his family. He gets pleasure from gambling, not from a walk in the park with his children. Such people need the help of specialists and rehabilitation, and until this is not available, such people try to distance themselves from the family. When a gambler crosses the line of gambling addiction, then talking in the family circle about his problems becomes unbearable, so gambling addicts may well cause harm to those around them.

[adpinbr]

Gambling has been a major problem to some family members and is still on till date, causing problem between couples and other family members, I have seen different kind of news online gambler that use a business money to gamble and the person lost, That was the end of his marriage, most gamblers has frustrated the themselves because they are not really providing money for the family. All they think is to gamble. They don’t think about anything else, Sometimes they don’t even go to work they don’t spend time with their children. Gambling has really been one of the major problems to some families people that is addicted to eat. It’s not really advisable for someone to be addicted and gambling.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

As with any addiction, the effects of addiction to games of chance and betting do not fall on the gambler alone. It affects the family, friends, relatives, and everyone around him, and may lead to the deterioration of their conditions.

Indirectly, when we are gambling and being addicted in it, those around us will first be affected and we may be sensitive enough to know and we may not be able to sense it in some situations, which is why we have to be careful of how we are gambling in other not to be addicted in it, if the addicted gambler is not careful, his condition will become more worse to the extent that he may not be able to control anything concerning his gambling lifestyle.

[irhact]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

Typically only family and friends are the typical affected party of gambling addict since that’s the peer they usually interact. You already covered the most typical indirect victims of gambling addiction.

I think it goes beyond just family and friends, they're the most affected individuals from gambling addicts but the society that the gambling addicts are living in are also affected. Those that are addicted to gambling aren't useful to the society as they're always making problem as their addiction leads to other forms of addiction as drugs or alcohol and they begin to disturb the environment they're living in. They're also meant to be working or contributing to the growth of their society.

But since they're addicted they won't be doing that very well therefore they're affecting the people in their society indirectly. Victims of addicts include friends, relatives, their children, co workers or employees when they're the business owners as their relationship with their employees will be affected based on the emotions they're having. When they lose from gambling they will be angry with everyone.

[Baofeng]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

Close friends, maybe the addict himself reaches out to them and borrow money without them knowing that the person is already full of debt and that he is already a gambling gambling. But as friends, it's like you are bound to help him no matter what the situation is.

Or maybe if the gamblers have job, for sure he will be not productive. I remember in my case, when I was in the height of my addiction, I will gamble till the early hours in the morning in a land base casinos and then I will call in early and saying that I'm sick and can't go to work.

[btc_angela]

Society itself, his/her community, we will see crime rates increasing as the gamblers might commit such acts against the society. Stealing from someone, robbing people. I just saw a news that someone gets robbed after he withdrawal from a ATM, and possible that those robbers are addicted gamblers and that the money that they have stole from the victims will be used to continue with their addictions.

And the government is another one. As a results of their society getting addicted to gamblers, they will spend more money like building facilities as rehab center. And increase the police presence wherein there is a frequent crimes happening.

[Zigabel]

Addicted gamblers who tend to suffer this type of situations can be literally be helped if they want to be helped, and the only way to help this gamblers is to follow them up gradually and not to approach them with hostility as that my even get them to do even worse. The effects of these addictive gambling on the relative of a gambler is usually seen most times in their financial capabilities where they will probably suffer for the lack of funds to be able to carry out most of the needs they will be needing in the family and generally, these addicted gamblers should be some times helped with some remedies that will get them to stop or quit entirely.

Family members or relatives should discouraged them by not funding their gambling habits in some situations so that way they will be able to understand that that which they are doing is really having a negative effect on the family and not just them alone.

[komisariatku]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

You have mentioned most of the impacts of gambling addiction, but each person has a different level of addiction so the impact will be different for each individual. What's worse is if the gambler gives up on his situation and decides to commit suicide, in my area there has been one victim who chose to hang himself because he was unemployed but had a lot of debt. There was also a husband who chose to run away from home to avoid bank debt collectors who always came to collect his debt, while his wife had returned to her parents' house, bringing her child with her.

Every activity that makes us addicted usually has a negative impact, and gambling is an activity related to money, so the main problem that occurs is financial. So before we become addicts, it's a good idea to start controlling our finances before we regret it in the end

[Onyeeze]

The only situation you can gamble and it affect the family is when you see a gambling as a means of survival and also only source that can give the highest money that you needed on Earth is when you will be addicted fully in gambling without any remorse and any site thinking of gambling, I do emphasize and gambling based on I know quite well and gambling have to do with the experience and also timing and for you to win gambling it is based on luck and opportunity so you don't have to involve yourself fully in gambling to the extent that it will affect your family and it is not also good to be gambling addicted when you are not retired from any government job or you are not up to 50 years in age to 60 years in age

[acroman08]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

I think you pretty much covered it, I mean, family, friends, relatives and people around the gambling addicts are the ones who usually get indirectly affected by the negative impact of gambling addiction.

now, if it is ok, I'd like to add on who gets indirectly affected by it the most. for me, the children get indirectly affected by it the most, gambling addiction can lead to divorce, neglect, abuse, etc... which could negatively affect the children for a very long time that could last up to their adulthood. while I understand the spouse might also be very affected by it, children are developing humans and experiencing something as traumatic as what I mentioned could heavily affect their development which would ultimately affect them for most of their lives.

It depends on the level of addiction, I am not an expert so can't really comment on the specific stages but from layman's view we can differentiate a person who is in the early stages of an addiction and another individual is at the extreme so better not just categorize every one addicted kind of abuser to their family because in most cases they don't much harm but due to their addiction they also don't know what needed to be done to get rid of it that is why it is always be open with someone in your family so you will not feel alone. I must remind that the feeling of loneliness is one of the primary reason for someone to get addicted to something.

[livingfree]

That's irresponsible gambling when an addicted gambler disturb that are not gambling addicts and they don't have money to gamble and they keep disturbing those relatives of theirs that they're depending too.

It is a crazy thing and shameful act of a gambler when he does it and then don't have his/her own pocket to pick money for gambling activities.

Those type of gamblers should just be ashamed of themselves when they're finding some fault of themselves and wanting people that surrounds them to feel pity about them.

[qwertyup23]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

You actually summed up almost the effects of gambling to the collaterals that ultimately affect the immediate family members whenever a person is addicted to the said act. I guess another sector of people who are indirect victims of gambling are your co-workers.

Once a person gets addicted to gambling, your relationship with your colleagues and friends will be prejudiced greatly given that you will be asking for loans to anyone just to satisfy this urge.

The reason on why I said colleagues is because this was a personal experience to me before. I had this high school friend who was once rich during our youth and he would treat everyone with almost anything. Suddenly during my college years, he would message our friends asking for loans and cash. Then I soon discovered that he suffered this massive gambling debt by borrowing cash from Chinese loan lords that are already threatening against his own life.

[Nwada001]

Partners in dependency - Relatives often try to "understand" the addict and help him, by paying off his debts, while accepting his promise to stop gambling, a promise he is unable to keep. More than once, family members come to the aid process, becoming partners so that they become “addicted” to the therapeutic process. But help works in exactly the opposite direction instead of helping the gambler wean off, they perpetuate his condition. These partners, such as parents or spouses, may find themselves in great distress that requires treatment.

Paying back their debt and not setting any limit that will help them stop their gambling habit is not doing the gambler any good in the first place; you are just indirectly fueling their actions without even realising it, because as soon as you clear their loan, they will have more opportunity to take more loans and sponsor their gambling addiction.
 
Many fall into this category and think they are helping the person, but rather they are just making things worse and wasting money on the unnecessary.
 
The next set of people who suffer indirectly from all this gambling addiction are those who are close to them; When you have someone like this living close to you, they might not even feel the shame that they are bringing upon themselves, but you who are close to them will be the ones to suffer it the most, as they can't foot their bills and provide for themselves because of their reckless spending on gambling. Most of their bills will be on you, especially when you have a heart of pity.

[Odohu]

When gambling addictions lead to failure in delivering on ones responsibilities and a rapid change in character that make others uncomfortable, then there will be many victims, most of whom might not even been considered to be victims. For instance, a situation where the addicted gambler becomes aggressive to the family members, then the effect will be felt by the children and many others. Children of gambling addicts whose addiction has gotten to the point of making him aggressive to the family, will surely grow up with  thinking that domestic violence is a normal things. So , I agree that there are indirect victims of gambling addiction which include families and loved ones. .

Gambling indeed has many impacts on its users, but apart from negative impacts, positive impacts have also been felt by the users themselves, including family, friends and also the surrounding environment..

You have just dropped a piece that I have been on with, pondering about it whenever I read about gambling addicts. Is it that they prefer the negative aspect of the impact of gambling on them tuan the positive that a whole lot of gamblers that are not addicts are testifying of . In as much as you don't have to be an addict for you be guaranteed a lump win in gambling I see no reason why gamblers should allow themselve's into addiction.

You can basically sum it up to anyone that the person with addiction interacts with really. At least to the level of where they are either involved with each other everyday, or to the point where said addict can ask for money from the other party with no repercussions. Yes, I'd even include the ones that give loans here, even ones outside of personal relationships e.g., banks/loan sharks. They technically still get affected but I don't think banks (or any proper establishment really) would ever give out a loan to someone with a record of gambling expenditure that big to warrant a loan, it's why credit exists nowadays after all.

But well outside of gambling that's literally what happens even if you just simply exist. You affect everyone you interact with. Addiction simply amplifies one factor/portion of it which is money/financial-related stuff.

Hi community,

As with any addiction, the effects of addiction to games of chance and betting do not fall on the gambler alone. It affects the family, friends, relatives, and everyone around him, and may lead to the deterioration of their conditions.

It negatively affects social relationships and at the marital level. Pathological gambling can be described as a side relationship. The gambler invests his attention in gambling at the expense of the spouse, whom he sometimes repays to cover his infidelity. The marital relationship is destabilized against a background of lack of trust, helplessness, and anxiety about what will happen in the future.


Gambling and accumulated debts  lead the gambler to a moral collapse that may even amount to an existential threat to family members. Gamblers do not hesitate to sell property to finance their debts, take loans from relatives without any ability to repay the debts, and in extreme cases they may even physically harm family members.

Partners in dependency - Relatives often try to "understand" the addict and help him, by paying off his debts, while accepting his promise to stop gambling, a promise he is unable to keep. More than once, family members come to the aid process, becoming partners so that they become “addicted” to the therapeutic process. But help works in exactly the opposite direction instead of helping the gambler wean off, they perpetuate his condition. These partners, such as parents or spouses, may find themselves in great distress that requires treatment.

From the explanation you gave, I see that your explanation focuses more on the family scope, and I think that is very clear. Therefore, here I will try to discuss further within the scope of friendship or association.

“If you associate with a perfumer, you will get his fragrance. However, if you hang out with a blacksmith, you will get sparks whose sparks can hurt yourself, and even if you are not hit by these sparks, at least you will get a very unpleasant smell of smoke." And the same goes for the scope of friendship or social relations. If we are friends with someone who is wise enough, has extensive knowledge and is able to control himself well in every activity he does, including gambling, then we will also get many benefits from that friendship, thus encouraging us to continue to behave positively. However, if we are wrong how to socialize and be friends with a gambling addict, then gradually we will also fall into the same hole, and there are many out there who fall into this bad thing just because of the influence of the wrong friends. And even if we can avoid this gambling addiction, it will still be another bad thing. will follow us, where we will share in the responsibility for the bad things our friends do. For example; we are not gambling addicts, but because we associate with gambling addicts, we are indirectly framed that we are gambling addicts. which could make other people continue to have a negative view of us.

Therefore, be wise in sorting and choosing your relationships.

The community is one of the indirect victims of gambling addiction, the fellowship among the members of the community will turn from good to bad because it breaks the harmony of the community, the community will not tolerate gambling addiction because it will bring a bad image on the community as a whole.
Another one is the work or the company the addicted gambler is working for, because he cannot concentrate on his work his performance will depreciate leading to the company's losses in terms of revenues.
These two are indirect victims of gambling addiction and it will further harm the status of the individual addicted to gambling if he neglects to be a good and productive member of these two institutions.

Its because that is mostly the end game of those gamblers, they will eventually end up being addicted just because they let themselves to let loose and let their greed to take over, but sometimes what's making gamblers addicted is because of tthe regret of losing money from gambling and they will try to recover their loss and eventually without a notice that they are letting themselves to become addicted to gambling, but for those addicted to gambling that letting other people around them involve because of his addiction is the worst, it means that the gambler is not in a good state anymore because he doesn't carr about other people around them, normally their family and friends, worst if they already have their own family imagine the situation that family will be in.

So if you can't control yourselves anymore, at least don't let other people be affected and involved in your problems; they may help you, but if they do wake up, it means they are ready to be involved in your chaotic life just to help you.

There is a psychology that says, there people who depends on your success to succeed in life.

This statement applies to gambling addiction, if one becomes addicted to gambling to the extent that he or she couldn't make a living, it's certain that at people whom if he was successful would have become successful too through him may not be successful any more psychologically but it can also be falsifiable.

Imagine that of you make it in life and open a company, and you have 1000 workers depending on the salary you pay them just, imagine that you failed to be successful because of gambling addiction you have indirectly caused a 1000 people to be jobless at some point and at the same time some of the can even become poor and broke forever because you failed go do right by yourself. its just a little truth.

Society, in general, will also be affected by gambling addiction. It's a big failure of society and the government if they have a huge number of gambling addicts. There will be a significant rise in criminality perpetrated by those addicted to gambling who, because of gambling addiction, commit robbery and crimes just to sustain their addiction.
Peace and order are very important in a society but if they cannot sustain and maintain peace and order, there will be chaos which is why the government prohibits, restricts, and regulates gambling because it can lead to addiction that will eventually lead to a rise of criminality and everybody will suffer.

Yes there are many scenarios that can occur that can connect between a gambling addict and a person who is initially completely unfamiliar with gambling and over time a gambling addict will be able to have an indirect impact on others which in turn makes people enter and fall into consciously and unconsciously, and scenarios like this happen in several places or what it means is that it doesn't just happen once but this kind of scenario will continue to occur over time so that the population of people involved in gambling and also gamblers who enter the addiction phase is increasing.

However this is a concerning situation, the worst thing or possibility is yes as you said that there is a potential to increase crime in a country, this happens and is done by most of the addicted gamblers where they want to gamble but do not have the money to fund their gambling activities, so obviously as we know that addicted gamblers always do not hesitate to do things out of control, They seem to justify all means just to get money to fund their gambling activities in the way that you mentioned, namely robbing, stealing or deceiving others and obviously this will cause a lot of chaos, and the hope is that we hope that the government can pay attention to matters of concern like this and build new rules that are effective enough to reduce the population of gamblers so that the crime rate can decrease.

I remember long ago I had a guy in my karate classes, who was really into addictive stuff. Not drugs, but he would play games all day and had given up school. Well, to the eyes of the rest of us it seemed like he was causing problems to his family, but we had no idea what was happening behind closed doors. Turns out his father was really strict and wanted to show a perfect image to the outside world. He would use this guy's daughter as a role model and constantly berate him for now following suit. The guy just wanted to earn a living working as a laborer, have a car, drive around and live a simple life. But this fell short of his father's dreams.

A couple of years later after I had stopped karate I learn that his father died of a heart attack. Immediately I thought that it was his addiction to games and gambling that must have driven his father into this state. But it was only a little later that his mother confessed to our family that his dad was abusive and they had separated, although up until his death he would force her to not admit the truth.

This taught me that tough situations often times make people become addicts. If you have someone struggling with addiction near you, try to help them before they have to take more responsibility. Because surely having responsibility while still addicted and before managing to get out of it can have its consequences, also to other people surrounding the addict.

Employers can also be indirect victims of the problems that a gambling addict brings. I remember a long time ago when I once had a gambling addict working for me who I felt I could control, and then I gave him money to go get materials for work for me but he ended up using up all the money for gambling, playing virtual games and squandering it all. I was a victim to his gambling addiction as his employer, because it forced me to spend my personal money to get the materials required for delivery of the customers job. Indirectly as the employer of an addict, I became a victim.

[klidex]

There will always be indirect victims that will be experienced by people who do not gamble or are innocent, namely the family of the gambler himself, the family is the first person to be harmed because they are dependent on each other. Indeed, the impact of gambling addiction is very large if the gambler is involved in loans, violence and also emotions. It will be increasingly difficult for them to stop and they will become increasingly out of control and even the family will be overwhelmed by their tough attitude and don't feel guilty. The only way is to give him a little encouragement to stop it, but if he doesn't have the intention to stop then it will be useless drain.

I always think that every gambling addict must be taught a life lesson so that they don't become dependent on their family, namely by leaving them alone and letting them live their own life with their gambling and when they are on the verge of ruin and despair they will realize by themselves that gambling has destroyed them. his future and he will finally regret it at that time then his family will help and provide assistance by giving good advice and I am sure he will stop even though it is a little difficult after that of course there will be no more indirect victims

[bangjoe]

It is quite unfair that gamblers get addicted, and use their addiction to disturb the peace and welfare of their families and relatives, even with their friends, by taking loans and debt without being able to pay them and leave the responsibility for their loved ones to carter. Most times the family members will have no option than to help them pay these debts, but the worst of it is when the gambler is bring shame to the family and dragging the family name on the mud.

Some spouse might not be able to tolerate such attitude from the partner, and they will seek for divorce due to the frustration that the addicted gambler is putting them through. While some will take it as their responsibility to handle whatever ugly situation that the gambler attracts to himself. It is good that as a gambler, we try to caution ourselves on how will go about our gambling activities, and how much that we are using to gamble, so that we don't end up becoming an addict, and become a problem to our friends and families. Gamble responsible.

That's not unfair but that's how relationships happen, so it's important for us to remind our family or friends so that we are not affected too, after all we have a sense of responsibility to people who are close to us especially family, surely we are affected.

Yes, unless you don't care about them, and ignore them when they ask you for help, but still those gambling addicts will ask for help from others who might help them. Maybe there are some couples who don't tolerate it but you also need to know that maybe when your loved one will be in a different situation, it will be quite complicated if you mix it with feelings, but certainly a gambling addict will have a bad impact on his environment.

[Negotiation]

With gambling addictions, a person will become addicted to gambling by watching gambling every day better to leave gambling companions and stop going anywhere related to gambling. Play is a fun thing but not all games are fun. such as gambling. Although gambling is played in the name of gambling it is essentially something different from playing. Gambling is a game with which the issues of addiction and addiction come up very strongly. Once an addiction has developed both time and energy are wasted on gambling. Even after hundreds of attempts there is no change in the habit.

with the problem of addiction, of course it will harm us primarily, where the loss can be in various aspects, with finances that will definitely become a mess, where when we have a certain amount of money all we can think about is gambling. Therefore, it is possible that gambling will only be done when you have a certain amount of money, while the needs that should be paid attention to may be put aside first. If you are addicted to gambling then it is very likely that the priority will be gambling. Many people experience big losses because they are too ambitious in gambling, because if we are too ambitious it can sometimes end up trapping us. What you say is correct, of course we have responsibilities towards our own family, even if we are not married, there is still no harm in us being able to help with the family's finances or economy, besides, parents will be happy and proud if we can help with the family's finances or economy. When we become addicted to gambling, of course the bad effects can spread to the family, such as finances falling apart or relationships becoming bad. Addiction tends to turn a person into a more stubborn person, and of course this can have an impact on family relationships.

I think if they are still addicted and don't have awareness, chances are they will only ask for financial help, they will ask for money to go back to gambling. Unless they have the awareness to recover from their addiction, maybe at that time they need help from their family such as encouragement so that they can remain consistent in their recovery. It is also clear that the bad effects of gambling addiction will not only be experienced by the main perpetrator, of course the bad effects can occur on the people around him.

[Lida93]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

Employers can also be indirect victims of the problems that a gambling addict brings. I remember a long time ago when I once had a gambling addict working for me who I felt I could control, and then I gave him money to go get materials for work for me but he ended up using up all the money for gambling, playing virtual games and squandering it all. I was a victim to his gambling addiction as his employer, because it forced me to spend my personal money to get the materials required for delivery of the customers job. Indirectly as the employer of an addict, I became a victim.

A similar situation happened to a bet company agent who owned a bet shop, although I didn't knew him directly but overhead him while he was making a complain to a friend of his about one of the boys he employed as cashier to work for him, how the cashier has at different time's used the money in one of the computers he is in charge of to play virtual games for himself and due to this he loses money that's above his pay cheque before the end of the month. And the young man was complaining of how the employees'  attitude has affected his usual monthly profit from the business and has therefore decided to sack him in order to save his business.

Something about gambling addicts, they are never to be trusted with access to money, it doesn't matter how big or little the amount of the money could be they just don't think about the impending consequences should they lose that money, all their focus is just to satisfy their urge and it's others that later suffer the negative impact of their actions. 

[SeaCoinCollector.]

Gambling addiction can affect not just the gambler, but also their family, friend and loved ones. It can also impact workplaces and communities, with decreased  productivity, absenteeism, and negative impacts on mental and emotional well-being.

[GigaBit]

I always think that every gambling addict must be taught a life lesson so that they don't become dependent on their family, namely by leaving them alone and letting them live their own life with their gambling and when they are on the verge of ruin and despair they will realize by themselves that gambling has destroyed them. his future and he will finally regret it at that time then his family will help and provide assistance by giving good advice and I am sure he will stop even though it is a little difficult after that of course there will be no more indirect victims

Yes, if they are given a sense of reality, they can learn to exercise controlling gambling. But almost everyone has an idea about gamblers that they know everything and make any decisions. Many of the addicted gamblers do not have a good financial situation but when they gamble and lose, they do not hesitate to gamble even with the money to cover the family expenses. He knows that he has no way of recovering any of that money if he loses, but he still takes part in the bet. Once a gambler becomes addicted it is difficult but not impossible to recover from it. If a small portion of income is used for gambling on a monthly basis, the gambler's effort to recover will be reduced even if he loses, but if he loses using more money, he will definitely lose more.

[letteredhub]

As with any addiction, the effects of addiction to games of chance and betting do not fall on the gambler alone. It affects the family, friends, relatives, and everyone around him, and may lead to the deterioration of their conditions.

Gambling indeed has many impacts on its users, but apart from negative impacts, positive impacts have also been felt by the users themselves, including family, friends and also the surrounding environment..

You have just dropped a piece that I have been on with, pondering about it whenever I read about gambling addicts. Is it that they prefer the negative aspect of the impact of gambling on them tuan the positive that a whole lot of gamblers that are not addicts are testifying of . In as much as you don't have to be an addict for you be guaranteed a lump win in gambling I see no reason why gamblers should allow themselve's into addiction.

Its because that is mostly the end game of those gamblers, they will eventually end up being addicted just because they let themselves to let loose and let their greed to take over, but sometimes what's making gamblers addicted is because of tthe regret of losing money from gambling and they will try to recover their loss and eventually without a notice that they are letting themselves to become addicted to gambling, but for those addicted to gambling that letting other people around them involve because of his addiction is the worst, it means that the gambler is not in a good state anymore because he doesn't carr about other people around them, normally their family and friends, worst if they already have their own family imagine the situation that family will be in.

So if you can't control yourselves anymore, at least don't let other people be affected and involved in your problems; they may help you, but if they do wake up, it means they are ready to be involved in your chaotic life just to help you.

it's for the avoidance of the chase of loss to recover money that gamblers are extolled to gamble with the money they won't find hard to let go at a loss of it. The venture for a recovery of money lost while gambling has a very percentage of causing more loses than it can lead to a recovery and this is something past experience and stories of gambler's has proven. Yet some gamblers don't want to learn from those experiences.

[bakasabo]

To the list of indirect victims of gambling addicted I can add work colleagues. If their work depends from the work addicted person do, then those who work with them are in danger of either having their work done incorrectly or havent done at all. Based on a topic Who among you here is gambling at work? people either gamble at work or have such gambling addicted colleagues. This is actually a serious problem, as a person can get fired because of them.

[danherbias07]

Job? Business? Those things.
Imagine if a gambling addict cannot take care of his business anymore because he is drowned in his addiction. It means no more time to do whatever is needed with that business. Even if a business owner has helpers to do the job, he must still manage it so that it won't crumble that could lead to bankruptcy.
If it is a job, I can tell base on experience that it could affect your performance by a lot when you start gambling. Yes, not just the gambling addicts but even those who just gamble occasionally. There will be times that we want to chase our losses and that will linger in our minds making us unable to work at our full focus.
It could also be mean that our jobs can be on the line if our supervisors caught us idling or doing something else that is not work related. It will be better if we can forget about gambling while we are at our work or business. There's nothing good that it give to us, it should only be done at our free time or if we are resting and wanted a little bit of entertainment.

[Natsuu]

Gambling messes things up for more than just the person playing. Families get hit hard because relationships break down, trust goes out the window and it's like the gambler forgets their partner exists. Money-wise, it's a mess too. Debts, selling stuff and sometimes even hurting family members and  those trying to help end up in the chaos, becoming partners in a losing game. So yeah gambling addiction isn't just a personal problem, it's a wrecking ball that smashes through everything in its path

[traderethereum]

@OP has mentioned indirect victims of gambling addiction because these are the people who are often contacted by someone who gambles so they can fulfill their desire to have money to gamble. People who gamble don't think about other people's feelings because they just want to have money to be able to continue gambling.
They will not see what impact it will have on other people because for people who gamble frequently, it is not necessary and they will let other people suffer the consequences. This has become a big problem for people who gamble and the people around them because at least the people around the gambler have to bear the problems caused by the gambler.
Maybe if it's only once or twice, it's not a problem, but if the gambler can't control himself, the gambler can cause even bigger problems to the people around him. The people around the gambler should be able to help find a way out of the problem the gambler is facing so that he can realize his mistake.

[Slow death]

although unfortunately gambling addiction is a disease that has destroyed society, it is still not a greater number than drug and alcohol addiction. Governments are very tough when it comes to gambling, they put harsh measures against gambling, even going so far as to ban gambling in some countries. Certain religions also prohibit gambling, so the number of people who gamble worldwide is very small in relation to the number of people who consume alcohol. I don't want this comparison to say that we shouldn't take gambling addiction very seriously. But we also need to look at other things that are causing greater harm. governments don't ban beer companies, they don't ban wine companies, whiskey companies, they don't ban gin companies

because governments understand that alcoholic beverage companies are not to blame, the fault lies with the people who abuse alcohol. I agree with that, now I don't understand why governments don't have the same understanding with gambling and why people suffer from bullying when they gamble and when they become addicted to gambling. For example, if a person becomes addicted to beer, people are not shocked, they deal with the problem in a milder way even though they see that the person is destroying his life and the lives of his family and friends and even his neighbors, this It also happens to people addicted to drugs. society is lenient when it sees that a person is addicted to drugs, they do not pursue the source of the drug and arrest the drug suppliers

now when society discovers that a person is addicted to gambling, they condemn that person and governments quickly accuse the casinos and put harsh measures against the casinos, in my opinion we have to look at the addiction in an alarming way and that it must be focused on the addict, treat the addict so that they are cured and always carry out campaigns to warn people about the danger of exaggeration, the danger of abusing things. Addiction is something that destroys a society, which is why it is very important to avoid addiction. An addicted person will commit crimes to support the addiction

[Volimack]

Gambling addicts are more indirect victims families with them live in bad conditions. They forget that they have a family and are more engrossed in gambling. They don't hesitate to borrow when they can't repay the loan I have heard many stories of stealing and selling household items. To solve this problem the person has to come to a decision on his own that it is better to get out before something is destroyed.

[Ever-young]

Well, the symptoms of gambling addiction can have major bodily ramifications, and some people will go to extreme lengths to satisfy their desire even if they lose. However, some people may be unaware that they are being affected, and this can lead to debt, job loss, divorce, and even homelessness, as well as depression, guilt, and mental disorders as a result of the damage they cause themselves, as well as health problems such as high blood pressure or heart disease, so it is best to gamble with caution to avoid any negative side effects.

[Kelward]

There's a saying in my dialect that translates that it's the relatives of a mad person that feels ashamed, instead of the mad person, so you don't really blame the family of a gambling addict when they try to offer help to the victim out of love, because of the shame that he's bringing to the family. I've seen a gambler who scammed their town's association and squandered all the money, using large portion of it to gamble, in the end he lost everything, when the town association found out that he was the scammer, they decided to confiscate the family's property, then the family members had to contribute to pay every penny that he stole. It was traumatizing for the family members to bear the shame and repay money that an irresponsible family member scammed the town association.

[Z390]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

There is a psychology that says, there people who depends on your success to succeed in life.

This statement applies to gambling addiction, if one becomes addicted to gambling to the extent that he or she couldn't make a living, it's certain that at people whom if he was successful would have become successful too through him may not be successful any more psychologically but it can also be falsifiable.

Imagine that of you make it in life and open a company, and you have 1000 workers depending on the salary you pay them just, imagine that you failed to be successful because of gambling addiction you have indirectly caused a 1000 people to be jobless at some point and at the same time some of the can even become poor and broke forever because you failed go do right by yourself. its just a little truth.

My mentor used to say that a human soul starts to live the moment he depends on himself, don't let others be the driver of your future success he said, if you fail it's your failure, at least you believe in yourself, if you believe in other and the other failed, you don't become stronger, the other just did, because the other person is the one that made the wrong choice, you become nothing.
This is why some people run away from others when they noticed that they are into gambling, they run because they believe that gamblers always drag down everyone around them, they make stupid decisions that will affect everyone around them, so they run away from them to avoid all this.

I don't like my life decisions hanging on the neck of a fellow human being like me, this is why I don't like relying on a single decision, anything could make it not to work, so I plan other ways too, if one doesn't work another will, and relying on a gambler or someone who is into gambling is not a good idea, we are not even promised tomorrow.

When someone promise you something tomorrow they might not wake up in the morning.

[Yamifoud]

Indirect victims of our addiction are those people who never feel worried about our situation. These are the groups of people who don't bother to help you out of addiction even some of your friends and family members can be considered as one of them.

We care less about these people as they don't care about us as well. That is how bad the addiction affects relationships as many people will stay away from us even some of our family members and close friends. But we don't think about it instead, help ourselves to prevent from falling into addiction because many people will start to hate us if that happens.

[kotajikikox]

sadly but they are also the victims because sometimes we are even stealing money from our family just to gamble .
I have seen this in my cousin that steals His mothers ATH and withdraw thousand of dollars just to gamble back in College days.

We care less about these people as they don't care about us as well.

what? they care nothing about you? is that a joke?they are not showing being concern but they are mate.

That is how bad the addiction affects relationships as many people will stay away from us even some of our family members and close friends. But we don't think about it instead, help ourselves to prevent from falling into addiction because many people will start to hate us if that happens.

when you are addicted? you care nothing about everything and that is the sad reality of gambling addiction.

[Apocollapse]

If you live with a gambling addict and you have no way to move to other place, it's better to create an agreement letter that the family or people who live in your house didn't responsible with the gambling addict debts, so in case he's in debts, you don't need to worry.

With gambling addictions, a person will become addicted to gambling by watching gambling every day better to leave gambling companions and stop going anywhere related to gambling. Play is a fun thing but not all games are fun. such as gambling. Although gambling is played in the name of gambling it is essentially something different from playing. Gambling is a game with which the issues of addiction and addiction come up very strongly. Once an addiction has developed both time and energy are wasted on gambling. Even after hundreds of attempts there is no change in the habit.

I'm not sure why you can say this, it's like gambling is bad and no one should try to gamble otherwise they will become an addict.

[khiholangkang]

Of the many who answered who was indirectly affected by gambling addicts, the average answer was those who were close to the addict himself, whether it was family or friends in his neighborhood, maybe for family it must be clear because they have blood relations and other things like that, including friendship.

The funny thing about friends who are indirect victims of gambling addicts is that when someone who does not know gambling but hangs out with gambling addicts, he will be said to be a gambler too by residents, this claim often occurs in environments where gambling is considered very bad, including in my neighborhood, even though that person does not know gambling at all but is also labeled as a gambler because the gambling addict who has been recognized by residents hangs out with him.

[Eternad]

I think this depends on the culture of your country because here in my country, Asian country specifically. You can’t continue your addiction without receiving heavy scolding from your family and criticism to your neighbors. You can’t become a gambling addicts here without noticing by others or being ignored since everything here can be gossip against you.

Actually being ignored when you have problem sometimes works well since you can’t affect them. They don’t think about your problem which means you’re the only one affected and not your family. On this topic, I’m skeptical why a gambling addict will show his problem on family while this problem typically being kept and not shown since it’s nothing to be proud of.

That is true that addiction,when someone becomes truly addicted he forgets everyone and cares for nothing except gambling and fueling this devilish passion which brings nothing but misery in the long run.

I have said it some other times but repeating is always good for this,when I was young and used to go to the biggest lotto club/casino I remember well 2 persons who in life had lost everything because of gambling,wife,family,work and they were the true image of failure in life yet they kept staying in that casino every day since morning till evening.

[Crypt0Gore]

I have a similar problem with a family friend that I call a brother, he is addicted to gambling and I keep telling him to stop but he won't, I tried teaching him how to be a responsible gambler but he can't help it.

Now I warned him about dragging others into his mess, if he plans to be irresponsible about gambling he should face it like a man and go down alone without dragging others around him into the mess.

This is my own way of living, if I am to go down I go down alone, I take risks that I only can handle, in my own world no one cares about me but myself, and I apply this fact to my life, I learn to clean up my shit by myself.

[Solosanz]

Yeah it seems like this problem is already become a norm right now because anyone can gamble using a cellphone even it's the cheap one. It's really sad to see the hard workers in a family only live from paycheck to paycheck because the money is used to buy monthly needs and they can't save the money because the gambling addict will steal the money.

Now I warned him about dragging others into his mess, if he plans to be irresponsible about gambling he should face it like a man and go down alone without dragging others around him into the mess.

Even you've said this, believe me, he won't face it like a man because he wasn't think about the future. If he's a man, he won't become a gambling addict in the first place.

[len01]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

It seems quite clear that everything you have written represents all the bad effects of addiction because the most important thing is the family, relatives, people around you and the future of the addict.
If we talk about anyone who will be affected by the bad effects of this addiction, there will definitely be no end to it because it includes most of the people closest to them who will definitely experience this badness.

I've seen people who are addicted and I know him but not very closely and what he did was he indulged in his addiction to the point that he had to sell his house even though his wife had sold all the things she owned until her children couldn't go to school because her husband used the money for gambling and in the end his wife asked to separate and now the person is depressed because of his own addiction losing his home, wife and children.
this is quite a simple example for anyone so that we can avoid addiction or lose a bright future and remain a healthy gambler and remain consistent with our own limits.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

In response to the op, it is commonly said that a tree does not make a forest, and there is a reason for that, and that reason is that, one tree is not strong enough, and can not give the type of shade a forest needs to be called or referred to as a forest.

What am I saying, families are like a forest and same way a tree does not make a forest, same way a person does not make a family, and as a family, what affect one should affect others, this is why it's called family.
In a family where one person is addicted to gambling, and the rest of the family members feel comfortable like nothing is happening, then it simply means that such family is not united as one, for if one person is having financial difficulties, it is the responsibility of the other family members to help that one out.

So indeed, addiction to gambling is not something that affects just one person, except the person Is alone and doesn't have a family, but in a case where the person has a family, that addiction surely would affect the other people in that family, therefore, such is no longer a problem of one person but have become a family problem, some thing they can come to together to find solution to.

[Jody.Drummer]

Yes, that is the worst stage in gambling when someone really can't keep their involvement well, none other than because the impact is as you said that it is very bad, there will be a lot of problems that occur when someone enters the addiction phase, they will lose everything they have, especially the valuables they have and for financial problems it is clear that they will have a concerning financial situation that sometimes they even have difficulty meeting needs such as food costs, and when someone who is married has financial problems due to gambling addiction then obviously the next problem will spread to family relationships which in the end there will be no harmonious words anymore and can even end up with separation.

That's right, there is nothing wrong with repeating the idea of advice because after all this is the best that we fellow gamblers should do in order to stay in a safe and comfortable situation, there are many examples of other people's events that we can make as lessons and one of them is like the incident experienced by the 2 people you described here, it is a very concerning situation and I'm sure we all don't want to have the same fate as them, therefore of course treating gambling activities with the recommended approach such as always limiting gambling according to our abilities is always the best choice for long-term security.

[Fiatless]

Of the many who answered who was indirectly affected by gambling addicts, the average answer was those who were close to the addict himself, whether it was family or friends in his neighborhood, maybe for family it must be clear because they have blood relations and other things like that, including friendship.

Most responses in this thread focused on the indirect effect of gambling on close relations. But the society also suffers indirectly. Gambling addiction can lead to people engaging in criminal activities just to raise money to satisfy the uncontrollable desire to gamble. Some people have engaged in illegal activities like robbery, kidnappings,  scams, etc, just because they want to get money to finance gambling. It is the community that suffers these indirect consequences because the area will become insecure for the inhabitants.

The organization in which the gambler works also suffers from the gambling addiction of employees. Gamble addicts might not give their best on the job because they are more concerned about gambling. With a lack of commitment to work, the productivity of such staff will reduce leading to the loss of human resources. Addicts might even engage in sharp practices in their workplace because they want to feed their hunger for betting.

[Woodie]

Totally agree with all what's written in the OP, but there is one basic rule about gambling that will prevent one from going to this length,and it's called " gambling with money you can afford to lose!"
The main reason this is said to everyone is to ensure you don't have any regrets that can spill over to broken relationships with family and friends, suicides, debt etc But then again, sometimes I think society can be to judgemental such that a person that needs help with their addiction will shy away from getting it because gambling is something that is sometimes frowned upon depending on where you come from.

Otherwise other indirect effects of gambling addiction

• drop in productivity
• loss of skilled labour, should a gifted person commit suicide
• creates introverts

[irhact]

Employers can also be indirect victims of the problems that a gambling addict brings. I remember a long time ago when I once qhad a gambling addict working for me who I felt I could control, and then I gave him money to go get materials for work for me but he ended up using up all the money for gambling, playing virtual games and squandering it all.

Employers and employees can both be victims of gambling addiction, gambling addicts aren't the best set of individuals to work for or to work with. They're annoying and also very lazy workers, they can be late to work or fail to finish a work on time as all they care about me is how they can finish what they're doing and go back to gambling. Gambling addicts only cares about gambling and they can use money meant for the company business to gamble and delay what the money was supposed to do.

Every individual that's associated with a gambling addict is a victim in one way or the other. Gambling addict easily gets emotion swings as they're gambling regularly and they won't win most of the time then they'll find those that they can pour their frustration on and those around them are the recipient of the emotions. Avoid gambling addicts is a good way to stay happy as they're very annoying.

[rachael9385]

Indirect victims of our addiction are those people who never feel worried about our situation. These are the groups of people who don't bother to help you out of addiction even some of your friends and family members can be considered as one of them.

We care less about these people as they don't care about us as well. That is how bad the addiction affects relationships as many people will stay away from us even some of our family members and close friends. But we don't think about it instead, help ourselves to prevent from falling into addiction because many people will start to hate us if that happens.

   Infact there is more to it, some gamblers don't really care about their lose anytime they loss there money in games they stake, mostly some of them don't seems to know that they more they gamble the more they also get addicted to it.
   However additions is addictions you cannot control it when you are not disciplined enough to face the challenges of it, you can be able to limit yourself from additcions when you are discipline enough to control yourself from gambling.
   Some people can't do it alone, I means some gamblers can't can not limit themselves from gambling, mostly when the gambler have something to do with addictions, gambler that is addicted needs a helping hands for them to stop or limit themselves from the additions.

You would really be losing it all if you cant be able to control up yourself on doing gambling or having that control or moderation because once you do get addicted,.then you arent just risking the bank account you do have and money with it but also in other posessions that you do have which might be ended up on getting loaned or being the ones who you would really be able to bet on. If ever it turns out to be still an unlucky
condition then you would really be ending up on losing it all and this would really be something a disaster. People wont really be able to realize those stuffs and mistakes on the time that they arent
still experiencing those hardship situation on which it would really be always best that you should really know on what you are doing and the things around that been affected.

People do make out those self realizations if they are on such condition on which they could really be able to avoid it if they were really just that sensible towards on the things that they are dealing
with and dont act out late.

[Juse14]

That's how gambling is, if this activity is not controlled as well as possible, then this activity will only cause harm, both to ourselves and to the people around us. Where those who don't know about the gambling activities that we often do, just because of our bad behavior in gambling, they also have to bear the consequences of our bad behavior. They help us to get out of this situation, to show their concern for us. But how stupid a gambling addict is, where he tries to take advantage of this feeling of concern to perpetuate his desire to continue gambling. And when will a gambling addict regret his actions? He will only regret it when the care and trust of those closest to him is lost.

Therefore, we as gamblers have the potential to become addicted. Before bad things happen to us and those closest to us, try to continue to minimize the negative impacts and other losses involved in gambling, control ourselves as best as possible when gambling.

Plus sometimes the act can actually rub off the person who doesn't know anything about gambling but seems to be comfortable with the addict himself playing these games and that's why some people tend to labels these friends as gamblers themselves because I know one thing for and thats the fact that you can't be hanging out with a gambler everything and actually not get influence to get involved in the act yourself especially when the gambler always tell you about his winning and never release the loses that he faces.

[coolcoinz]

I feel like OP is preaching to the choir here. Nothing new, to say the least. We all know what gambling addiction can lead to and we have hundreds of threads here to prove it.

I have a similar problem with a family friend that I call a brother, he is addicted to gambling and I keep telling him to stop but he won't, I tried teaching him how to be a responsible gambler but he can't help it.

Now I warned him about dragging others into his mess, if he plans to be irresponsible about gambling he should face it like a man and go down alone without dragging others around him into the mess.

This is my own way of living, if I am to go down I go down alone, I take risks that I only can handle, in my own world no one cares about me but myself, and I apply this fact to my life, I learn to clean up my shit by myself.

Like with any addict you can't help him if he doesn't want that help. You can't move in with a n alcoholic to keep watch over him 24/7 and it's the same with your friend. You think you teach him how to be responsible, but he listens with one ear and lets it out with the other. He'll have to land at the bottom to learn his lesson.

[Kavelj22]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

It is as simple as saying those that financially dependent on the gambler. The only people that may not depend on the addicted gambler but not happy about their son or daughter addiction are parents.

Not only those who are financially connected to the gambler, but it can be generalized to all those who have moral relationships with him, such as family members (in general), close friends and neighbors. This is because excessive gambling affects a person's entire behavior in such a way that it affects all his relationships. It is true that some close people can end the relationship with him and avoid the resulting troubles, but there are types of relationships that are not affected by all circumstances and are able to withstand. I can mention to you a personal experience with a friend who was addicted to gambling. We were all his friends helping him try to overcome his ordeal, and none of us thought of abandoning him, even though his behavior often became hostile and he tended to temporarily boycott everyone who wanted to help him. These are symptoms of illness, and those close to them who are concerned should be aware of this.

I Understand the situation perfectly, things with addicts may have affected many, and that is what we, when we sit down to play, must realize that not only the people who suffer from it also suffer those who are always making a difference next to them. We, our family, friends, they affect everyone, all these things are what we must see, that is why we have to understand responsibility and mature it in every sense, because we cannot be thinking that these things are so simple, that we can play with our things.

Sometimes the people who become Addicted do not give importance to what they have to lose, they do not give importance to family things, nor do they feel sorry for anything, they do not care about shame if they have it or not, for example The reason is that we have to make a difference, that is why these topics are Useful to help Everyone we can.

There are gamblers in almost all societies, and all of us have met a gambling addict at least once in our life. I'm sure we all found them in bad shape on most levels. The problem sometimes get more sophisticaed when about the inability to help these cases, especially in areas where there is not sufficient education about them. Gambling addicts suffer from social stigma and are rarely helped.

They are often family and close friends or in treatment centers specializing in this type of disease. I really wish I could obtain data on the cases of recovery from addiction that have been recorded.
These online discussions can raise awareness for players to gamble wisely and for those around them who suffer from excessive gambling addiction. It is a behavioral addiction and one of the most dangerous diseases.

Hi community,

As with any addiction, the effects of addiction to games of chance and betting do not fall on the gambler alone. It affects the family, friends, relatives, and everyone around him, and may lead to the deterioration of their conditions.

It negatively affects social relationships and at the marital level. Pathological gambling can be described as a side relationship. The gambler invests his attention in gambling at the expense of the spouse, whom he sometimes repays to cover his infidelity. The marital relationship is destabilized against a background of lack of trust, helplessness, and anxiety about what will happen in the future.


Gambling and accumulated debts  lead the gambler to a moral collapse that may even amount to an existential threat to family members. Gamblers do not hesitate to sell property to finance their debts, take loans from relatives without any ability to repay the debts, and in extreme cases they may even physically harm family members.

Partners in dependency - Relatives often try to "understand" the addict and help him, by paying off his debts, while accepting his promise to stop gambling, a promise he is unable to keep. More than once, family members come to the aid process, becoming partners so that they become “addicted” to the therapeutic process. But help works in exactly the opposite direction instead of helping the gambler wean off, they perpetuate his condition. These partners, such as parents or spouses, may find themselves in great distress that requires treatment.

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

I could add one more: Kids who grow up with gambling addicts think that gambling is a normal, everyday thing. And then the family might even break apart because of said gambling addiction.

Honestly I think the same negatives go for gambling addiction just as they would for any other addiction. Addiction is always some kind of negative to somebodies happiness and that "vacuum" can drain the happiness of others around them.

[alastantiger]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

The indirect victims of gambling addiction are people who care about the gambler. It is on this gambling board that we have read stories like
- a man using his money meant for his wedding for gambling.
- a son using the school fees given to him by his parents for gambling.

As long as the gambler has a family and friends, there will always be indirect victims. It therefore rests on us to help out a brother or a friend who is struggling with gambling addiction that is a way to reduce the indirect effects of gambling.

Since you're asking for other people who could be affected by someone who's addicted to gambling, let me add some:

1. Children and young persons dependent upon the addict: Initially, they get all that they need from the gambler before the gambling addiction took over his brain and his logical and rational thinking region's clouded by thoughts of reclaiming all his losses in the casino. It could be monetary, emotional, or even inspirational aid, which is cut short and abruptly by the way, once the gambler finally succumbs to gambling addiction. All of a sudden sustenance and money is harder to come by, they become an absentee/deadbeat parent/guardian, and they may even start to abuse these children as a means of letting out steam and frustration from an unsuccessful night/session of gambling. Some are even forced to go into child labor for the sake of supporting their family when the parents couldn't. And even worse, gambling addicts who sees no light at the end of the tunnel and are left to commit suicide leave children and relatives behind to carry the emotional baggage that they will leave them with, as well as the debts that they failed to pay when they are still alive.

2. Strangers, in certain instances: Some gamblers who fail to get the money to support their vices end up committing crimes like robbery or even more heinous ones to sustain their addiction and their gambling streak, thus, this may leave people who shouldn't even have anything to do with the gambler victimized all because they unfortunately happened to walk the same road that the addicted and desperate gambler tread upon. Fucking sucks but I've seen a lot of people lose money and sometimes even their lives because of someone's uncontrolled gambling addiction.

Sad stories like this I often hear, even outside this forum, often occur in gambling that is often done by someone such as slot gambling which is very popular in my place.

There are many who are addicted and end up using money that should be used for other important purposes, such as for family needs,
for marriage, for savings and even money used for insurance.

Those who are not directly involved will be affected.
So before gambling, it is better to think in advance where the source of funds is used.
I only use small funds for gambling, and it is not related to any needs, it is just entertainment.

[bakasabo]

Slots and children this is very much known to me. I was sort of victim of indirect gambling at my childhood. After the school, on the way home, few times we have visited casino (there were only slots, can this be called a casino then?) and gambled lunch money. This wasnt done every day; maybe once a few month. We were a company of classmates who walked home. Some of my friends gambled there on the way home. I did it more rarely than they. But still, to be «in the company» or «like them», I have tried slots.

Responsible gambling is always the best advice if you want to engage in this activity, because it will obviously bring you a good level of safety in the long run. On the other hand, yes, I agree with you that lately types of games such as slots are indeed more popular and maybe your place is also the same as mine where this type of game is very popular with many people, regardless of age and sometimes even children who Underage people are already involved in this type of gambling and the public seems to be very familiar with slot games.

This is very worrying and also clear in terms of the population of gamblers who are addicted to this type of game, which is very large and continues to increase over time, and what is worrying is that they do not even hesitate to allocate any money for gambling, such as money for other needs such as your family's needs. mention whether it is for needs or for other purposes which are very likely to have an impact on other people, especially the people around them, of course that is good advice, however, never gamble using money for other needs or simply put, you You can gamble when you have a certain amount of money that you won't be able to use for any needs.

[joniboini]

This makes me realize I'm probably one of the victims in my childhood. I remember my friend urging me to buy a lucky draw to get an expensive toy by buying tickets. The seller probably never intended to make the prize winnable, to begin with, but we are so eager to try because one of our friends managed to win a new shiny toy from that. I spend a lot of money buying that, which probably happens because the price of one ticket is quite cheap in our mind. Surprisingly, after I move to another school, I don't find any urge to buy the same lottery. Maybe a change in the environment help me reduce my growing addiction.

Fucking sucks but I've seen a lot of people lose money and sometimes even their lives because of someone's uncontrolled gambling addiction.

If you think about it, some popular scam cases in crypto where the owner of a business runs away also happen because they gamble the customers' money to trade on average trading. I don't know if there's a case where the money is used directly in a casino though, but it is clear that they have more or less the same greedy motivation to try to make a ton of money as quicky as possible.

Unfortunately, with the advance of technology and online casinos, it has become quite common in our society. I personally haven't witnessed such a case myself, but I have heard similar ones from acquaintances and, of course, on local news internet pages. However, I've seen quite a few people my age being addicted, gambling great amounts of money till they basically go broke—no exaggeration, without a care in the world. All they care about is how to obtain money and from whom they're going to borrow or have money sent to them (such as their parents) in order to gamble again.

Even in such cases, the victim isn't only the gambler himself; it's their friends and their family as well. Imagine doing that when you have a partner or a family of your own.

[HelliumZ]

Generally gambling has some indirect harmful aspects like if someone in a family is addicted to gambling then other members of the family may become addicted to gambling out of curiosity. Especially if the parents of a gambling addicted family are addicted to gambling then the children of those addicted parents are automatically addicted to gambling. Again, gambling has some harmful aspects socially, such as the curse of women abuse is usually seen in families of gambling addicts. Moreover, seeing the scene of torture of women, the small children of the family are psychologically damaged and gradually grow up from that psychologically damaged condition. So if we imagine the horrors of gambling socially and familially, then gambling has many indirect harmful and terrible aspects.

[hyudien]

There are gamblers in almost all societies, and all of us have met a gambling addict at least once in our life. I'm sure we all found them in bad shape on most levels. The problem sometimes get more sophisticaed when about the inability to help these cases, especially in areas where there is not sufficient education about them. Gambling addicts suffer from social stigma and are rarely helped.

They are often family and close friends or in treatment centers specializing in this type of disease. I really wish I could obtain data on the cases of recovery from addiction that have been recorded.
These online discussions can raise awareness for players to gamble wisely and for those around them who suffer from excessive gambling addiction. It is a behavioral addiction and one of the most dangerous diseases.

It is clear, with the current existence of online casino gambling, of course many young people are familiar with gambling and they even gamble in their lives. I'm sure that in all countries there are young people who are addicted to gambling, and if we venture out of town and find a group of young people and we ask about online casino gambling, I think at least one of them will definitely know about it or be familiar with it. if they are addicted at a young age of course it will create problems for their future, it is possible that they will have socialization problems.
Yes, that's true, with online discussions like this I also hope to make them aware so they don't gamble excessively which can be detrimental to themselves, including their future. Many people who have a bad view of gambling are due to the actions of the gamblers themselves who gamble beyond their reasonable limits. They hope to get a big win using the amount of money they bet. However, they tend not to see the risks and impacts of excessive gambling.

[bitzizzix]

With advances in online gambling technology, it has had a huge impact on the growth of gamblers in various circles and ages as well as the increasing number of cases and addicts becoming more rampant.
We can distinguish the technological progress of online gambling which continues to develop from before, and currently in my opinion online gambling, especially slot machines, is no longer foreign to various groups and ages because everyone does it because of its convenience. Even those who are not involved or do not know directly about slot gambling are targets of ridicule or insults because many negative cases have occurred.
And often slot gambling addicts not only harm themselves, but also harm their closest friends, family and partners. Because they will
being a target who can make money by continuing to gamble after everything they have is gone and there is nothing left, and that really upsets them and can affect their socialization.
And when everyone doesn't care, the last resort is a crime just to get money to continue gambling.
And actually their mistake was gambling without realizing the risks involved, which they should have anticipated and been able to control themselves if there were signs. And for everything that happens, I don't blame advances in online gambling technology, but rather the gamblers themselves who play excessively beyond their limits and think that gambling can make money when in reality it's the opposite.

Of the many who answered who was indirectly affected by gambling addicts, the average answer was those who were close to the addict himself, whether it was family or friends in his neighborhood, maybe for family it must be clear because they have blood relations and other things like that, including friendship.

hahaha... That's right, the beginning of my acquaintance with gambling was also hanging out with gamblers, and they always showed and showed the game and victory so that I was interested in trying it and with a long time I experienced being a gambling addict, but back then it was not really familiar with crypto casinos because most in my neighborhood mostly only used sites available locally to gamble, But indeed it is contagious and influences us to be interested in gambling, and yes the claims of people out there when we gather with gambling people are also not wrong, because we will definitely be entangled in gambling and our name is bad if we are in an environment that strongly condemns gambling.

Re: Indirect victims of gambling addiction

This is an excellent title, it attracted me to read the thread.

Hi community,

As with any addiction, the effects of addiction to games of chance and betting do not fall on the gambler alone. It affects the family, friends, relatives, and everyone around him, and may lead to the deterioration of their conditions.

There's a Nigerian adage that said; "The embarrassment a mad man brings has no effect on the mad man, but rather to the family members". This is because it is the family members that are sane to receive the embarrassment.

The gambler invests his attention in gambling at the expense of the spouse, whom he sometimes repays to cover his infidelity.

I'm glad to know a wider definition of infidelity. I have thought that infidelity is unfaithfulness to spouse while been faithful with another. Not knowing someone can be faithful to gambling.

Gamblers do not hesitate to sell property to finance their debts, take loans from relatives without any ability to repay the debts, and in extreme cases they may even physically harm family members.

Not all gamblers. You can simply put that, gambling addicts do not hesitate...

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

The society at large because of child abuse, increase rate of crime and more. These are the negative effects of gambling.

If you are someone whose that person being addicted or really that doing gambling and you do really goes with him on active manner or too often on which it would really be something that will really be influential.
If you wont really be that careful then you would really be finding yourself that doing gambling which you would really be getting in line with him or someone. This is why it would be always best that you should really know when it comes to moderation when it comes to money spending. There are ones who are really that easily been that influenced and there are ones who arent.

It would really be just that depending on how they would really be making out such actions because not all would really be having that kind of level of control when it comes to things. Gambling addiction is something
that you cant really be able resist if you are really that having those thoughts and insights towards gambling as a source of income. You would really be finding yourself on playing
on it sooner or later and this is something that you do need to consider and look out.

[Mia Chloe]

Of course gambling addiction is something that both the gambler and people close to him suffer. Sometimes some persons may think that the only one affected by gambling addiction is the addict himself but this is not true due to the fact that the irresponsibility of a gambler indirectly affects people close to him especially family members or close relatives.
Aside from the fact that gambling addiction brings rise to unnecessary loss of funds on the part of the addict, making him unable to do certain important things that require financial solution, it also creates a form of vacuum between the addict and his loved ones. People that we love who are also close to us love to always spend time with us and if unfortunately you are an addict you end up spending more time in gambling activities that you spend with your loved ones which leads to distancing in your relationship with them.

[KiaKia]

To any indirect victims of gambling addiction out there, do not let your future depend on anyone, the addicted is been trapped by his own mind and they are battling to come out of it, if you have tried so much to bring them back and it fail, it's time to make decisions for yourself, be less dependant on anyone, go out there and start making ways for yourself.

I believe that no one should be affected by addicted gamblers, even if they are your father or siblings, you should start depending on yourself and make ways, some people don't have anyone, they are raised by the street, or in homeless locations, they strive and survive, don't let an addict who was supposed to be your sponsor be the downfall of your own life.

From this moment onward, make sure that you rely solely on yourself, this will make you to get stronger, always remember that some people don't even have a soul to help them, try to stand for yourself only and if you fail, the brave enough to take the blame, not on someone else.

Yes, this does not look at age, even many underage children play it like ordinary games.
This is actually the main focus, when gambling games become common games and the role of government is not good enough in managing gambling games like this.

Everyone can access it easily, just with a smartphone, and play using coins earned for free the first time of the game,
but this will run out and eventually will buy the Chips sold by the game reseller.

I also like slot games, but of course there are limits, this has become a general game realm,
not a special game and can only be accessed on gambling websites that limit the age of its users.

Advances in technology have indeed made everything easier and this also makes it easier for games that should not be played by children,
can reach their hands and become games that will make them addicted.

Cases of addiction due to slot games have occurred a lot and even made someone commit suicide.
This is a problem that needs to be handled, it needs to be limited so that it is not played by underage children.

[angrybirdy]

Of course gambling addiction is something that both the gambler and people close to him suffer. Sometimes some persons may think that the only one affected by gambling addiction is the addict himself but this is not true due to the fact that the irresponsibility of a gambler indirectly affects people close to him especially family members or close relatives.

So as an individual who has a companion or close acquaintance or relative who is addicted to gambling, we must have our own decision and plan in life, let's not let the people around us affect or influence us because we have different mindset than those people who always thinking about money, how to win and of course, gambling. The truth is, the most affected in this situation are those normal people who are not involved in gambling, why? Because they see the situation and they see what is happening and the problems that come in their lives, they are the ones who feel the most stress every time their relative does something wrong because of his gambling addiction.

[Issa56]

Hi community,

As with any addiction, the effects of addiction to games of chance and betting do not fall on the gambler alone. It affects the family, friends, relatives, and everyone around him, and may lead to the deterioration of their conditions.

Sure, gambling addiction doesn’t affect only the gambler, it has negative impacts on people close to them. Money that’s supposed to be spent on family members, addicted gamblers will end up spending the money that is supposed to be spent on their family members on gambling, leaving them suffering, most of them don’t even provide for the family. The money that is supposed to be used to provide food items for their family members will end up being used for gambling. Some of them do sell their properties, like houses and other valuable things, leaving their family members homeless and suffering.

Gambling and accumulated debts  lead the gambler to a moral collapse that may even amount to an existential threat to family members.

Most addicted gamblers are in debt because they have no money left to gamble with, so they end up taking loans just to keep on gambling, hoping to hit a jackpot so that they will be able to repay the loan that they took, but they do end up losing everything, and they won’t have any way to pay back the loan that they took.

[SOKO-DEKE]

As with any addiction, the effects of addiction to games of chance and betting do not fall on the gambler alone. It affects the family, friends, relatives, and everyone around him, and may lead to the deterioration of their conditions.

Many individuals who struggle with gambling addiction find themselves entangled in a cycle of debt. When they exhaust their funds for betting, their immediate solution often involves seeking loans to sustain their habit. Despite the looming burden of debt, the fear of accumulating more obligations fails to deter them from indulging further in gambling activities. Tragically, a significant portion of this debt ends up being shouldered by their families, who later bear the financial consequences of their loved one's addiction.Thus, the vicious cycle perpetuates, with the gambler sinking deeper into debt while their family members bear the brunt of the financial strain caused by their compulsive behavior.

Gambling and accumulated debts  lead the gambler to a moral collapse that may even amount to an existential threat to family members.

Addiction to gambling frequently pushes sufferers into a debt cycle where their need to gamble takes precedence over sound money management. The first thing a gambler does when their money runs out is look for loans to keep fueling their addiction. As a result, they lose interest in the debt they accrue since they are too busy betting on their next big idea to be frugal. Sadly, these debts usually fall on their families, who are then left to deal with the financial fallout.As a result of loved ones having to deal with the fallout from the gambler's uncontrolled conduct, a cycle of financial pressure and emotional upheaval is perpetuated.

not a special game and can only be accessed on gambling websites that limit the age of its users.

One of the biggest causes that affect it in my opinion is in terms of the environment and also social media, which maybe we also know that nowadays most children who are minors spend more time playing social media or watching YouTube shows after school, and there are so many sites that do large promotions in several social media which are clearly very likely for a child who is still underage to eventually be influenced and involved in gambling.

We hope that the government can really limit or even prohibit promotional impressions made by online casinos on several social media because after all it has a very negative impact and influence on someone who is underage and it can have an impact on their personality and future, and also on the other hand the role of parents is also very important where parents must be able to limit the activities carried out by their children, especially in the use of smart phones, because after all prevention is always better than cure. In the event that you're looking to get a new home, you'll want to make sure that you've got a good idea of the kind of home you're looking for, and that you've got a good idea of the kind of home you want, But for the problem of risk I think this type of game is much greater than other types of gambling because there are so many temptations and things that look tempting that it is very difficult to ignore but it is difficult to become a reality and to get a win you have to be really lucky, many gamblers who run out of large amounts of money in just one session because of the difficulty of controlling emotions when something that looks tempting is very difficult to get.

regardless of age and sometimes even children who Underage people are already involved in this type of gambling and the public seems to be very familiar with slot games.
-snip-

Yes, this does not look at age, even many underage children play it like ordinary games.
This is actually the main focus, when gambling games become common games and the role of government is not good enough in managing gambling games like this.

Everyone can access it easily, just with a smartphone, and play using coins earned for free the first time of the game,
but this will run out and eventually will buy the Chips sold by the game reseller.

I also like slot games, but of course there are limits, this has become a general game realm,
not a special game and can only be accessed on gambling websites that limit the age of its users.

One of the biggest causes that affect it in my opinion is in terms of the environment and also social media, which maybe we also know that nowadays most children who are minors spend more time playing social media or watching YouTube shows after school, and there are so many sites that do large promotions in several social media which are clearly very likely for a child who is still underage to eventually be influenced and involved in gambling.

One of the main things that makes parenting would really be challenging is that you would really be needing to check your kids or children because in todays era then it would really be that so hard
to avoid for those kids not to see those things and not only on the things they do see online but also into those people who are in surrounding on which doing that gambling activity.
Anyone could really be able to influence you on which even if you are adult then you are really that prone into such possibility. Gambling addicts wont really be minding about into those people who would really be that affected or would be influenced on what they are doing. They would really be minding on their own interest in mind and people around could neither be affected or not.

[Mr.suevie]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

The indirect victims of gambling addiction are people who care about the gambler. It is on this gambling board that we have read stories like
- a man using his money meant for his wedding for gambling.
- a son using the school fees given to him by his parents for gambling.

As long as the gambler has a family and friends, there will always be indirect victims. It therefore rests on us to help out a brother or a friend who is struggling with gambling addiction that is a way to reduce the indirect effects of gambling.

Sometimes when I read the things that gamblers do, it's just amazes me and I don't know how someone let themselves get so addicted to till the part of actually selling their properties and even cancelling their marriage plans because of gambling, I mean these things are really crazy. As a brother or sister, friend and children of an addict, you would also suffer a great portion to the unwholesome behavior and character of that gambler because all the benefits that you are supposed to enjoy is being spoilt by that one crazy habit.

On the aspect of those stories of those who use their wedding money to play bets and those who use their school fees to play bets or anything else that should have really meant something to them and they end up losing their education or marriage, a set of people are the ones I rate as giving their relatives and family members the most form of disgrace, and for the family to either save themselves from such shame or settle whatever problem their gambling decisions have landed them in. 
 
One thing about these people is that they don't feel ashamed of themselves for what they have done; they just see it as a normal thing that can happen to anyone, but those who are close to them are the ones who feel the most shame.

There are gamblers in almost all societies, and all of us have met a gambling addict at least once in our life. I'm sure we all found them in bad shape on most levels. The problem sometimes get more sophisticaed when about the inability to help these cases, especially in areas where there is not sufficient education about them. Gambling addicts suffer from social stigma and are rarely helped.

They are often family and close friends or in treatment centers specializing in this type of disease. I really wish I could obtain data on the cases of recovery from addiction that have been recorded.
These online discussions can raise awareness for players to gamble wisely and for those around them who suffer from excessive gambling addiction. It is a behavioral addiction and one of the most dangerous diseases.

That is the societal reality with the pervasive presence of gambling and the unfortunate reality of encountering gambling addicts. It's true that gambling addiction can have severe consequences that impacts people on multiple levels and often leaves them in distressing situations. The lack of awareness and understanding about gambling addiction can contribute to social stigma that makes it difficult for those affected to seek and receive the help they need. But this happens because gamblers are also commonly not socialized people.

People should acknowledge the importance of providing support and resources for gambling addicts, whether through family and friends or specialized treatment centers. There should be an awareness about gambling addiction, education on its causes and effects, and accessibility for support services as the essential steps toward addressing this pervasive issue and providing hope for those struggling with addiction.

[Iroh]

Partners in dependency - Relatives often try to "understand" the addict and help him, by paying off his debts, while accepting his promise to stop gambling, a promise he is unable to keep. More than once, family members come to the aid process, becoming partners so that they become “addicted” to the therapeutic process. But help works in exactly the opposite direction instead of helping the gambler wean off, they perpetuate his condition. These partners, such as parents or spouses, may find themselves in great distress that requires treatment.

There is a limit to which friends and family can help an addict. It’s just like trying to save a drowning man; you’ve got to be careful so as to not get drowned yourself.
Someone that’s not an addict that makes a promise and fails to keep that promise over and over would have a hard time getting people to believe him anymore. Then an addict that makes a promise repeatedly and doesn’t keep it, he’ll never be believed.

Someone with an addiction is going to lose everyone that’s close to him. Everyone has issues of their own and wouldn’t want to get drawn into your bullshit anymore than they have to.

Well it is quite difficult to get rid of addiction to gambling because even in this case what you said is true where family and closest people may indeed be quite helpful when someone wants to get out of the vicious circle where addiction has been in themselves but on the other hand it is only an option to increase support because after all someone who is addicted to gambling can only stop when they have the intention to stop in themselves.

As long as there is no intention to stop, the help from family and closest people will seem useless because they do not have the intention to gamble and only like to appreciate the help of those closest to them but do not eliminate the desire to gamble.

It is clear, with the current existence of online casino gambling, of course many young people are familiar with gambling and they even gamble in their lives. I'm sure that in all countries there are young people who are addicted to gambling, and if we venture out of town and find a group of young people and we ask about online casino gambling, I think at least one of them will definitely know about it or be familiar with it. if they are addicted at a young age of course it will create problems for their future, it is possible that they will have socialization problems.
Yes, that's true, with online discussions like this I also hope to make them aware so they don't gamble excessively which can be detrimental to themselves, including their future. Many people who have a bad view of gambling are due to the actions of the gamblers themselves who gamble beyond their reasonable limits. They hope to get a big win using the amount of money they bet. However, they tend not to see the risks and impacts of excessive gambling.

Just as there are indirect victims of gambling, there are also indirect harms, such as if a family member is addicted to gambling and practices it openly within the family. It is not surprising that someone learns gambling out of curiosity and becomes addicted as well. There are many cases in which there is more than one person addicted to gambling in the same family. This would definitely be enough to destroy her.
Also, many cases of domestic violence have been recorded in families with gambling addicts. All studies show that cases of addiction may lead, in advanced stages, to a person being aggressive in his attitudes and behaviors.

those people who use their school fees for gambling because gambling have a spirit and when you are addicted in gambling You can do anything to ensure that you have gamble order to make money that is why it is good not to be edited in gambling because if you are addicted in gambling There's nothing will make you not to be participating in gambling almost every day and you have the hope not you are going to win a gambling provided that you have won before that we give you motivation to continue to gamble in order to win another money that you want before

Overcoming gambling addiction has undoubtedly been one of the most difficult things for an addict to do, it's possible to do so but being possible doesn't make it easy.
To Overcome addiction, you need more than just a bunch people around you tryna help you get rid of your addiction. What a person really needs the most is the desire to quit the addiction, this desire always comes from within. You'll need to first take that bold step before someone else can step in to help you.
It's more like planting a seed, no matter the amount of water and sunlight you give that seed, if the soil is infertile, all the water and sunlight would be wasted efforts. If a person doesn't first cultivate that determination, then there's no amount of support from friends and loved ones that can effect any positive changes in the victim's life.

Of course, overcoming gambling addiction is almost the same as overcoming smoking addiction and and I often hear this from gamblers' statements, every decision must come from one's own will to overcome addiction and external support has no significant effect on getting out of the addiction zone, they only provide support to support own decision in order to overcome gambling addiction, the first step is to focus on changing your mind to really stop gambling addiction by following the right instructions to overcome the problem of gambling addiction.

The world is getting tired of humanity, people partake more in life, than they should. I get confused when everyone tries to solve their issues, even in a risky situation as gambling addiction. Generally, not all addicts, get neglected. The addict avoids his helpers. Only an extraordinary helper can withstand such discrimination. Many people will stop, immediately, and try doing other meaningful things with their time. The fight isn't for the less experienced. I've never seen a troubled man that was forgotten by his friends, brothers, and relative, in a town, society or community where he is known. Most people fall into a wide pit of suffering, if their problem gambling occurred in a town where his loved ones are not available. Although, nobody ever knows what will happen. Life like gambling is uncertain. Addicts only figure out a true lover or friend, when in their worst situation.

[Stable090]

- a man using his money meant for his wedding for gambling.

Even people that don’t care about the addicted gambler are affected, as long as you are related to the person, then you might end up being affected. How are you going to use the money meant for wedding for gambling? I have been hearing crazy things that gamblers do, but I don’t know some people do things like this, are they going to cancel the wedding or what’s going to happen? It’s going to be an embarrassment to me, how I wish crazy things like this can just be stopped, things like this are what makes people have wrong impression about gambling.

- a son using the school fees given to him by his parents for gambling.

I have seen this one multiple times before when I was in school. Some of them will use their school fees to gamble, if they lose, they will start demanding for unnecessary money from their parents, some of them will tell their parents they are asked to pay for something’s in school which is false, when they scam their parents, then they will be able to pay their school fees, and some will end up selling their properties before they will be able to pay their school fees.

[Asuspawer09]

Family, friends, and everyone that is close to you are probably the one that is gonna be the ones the is going to be affected somehow by your gambling addiction, Probably just because they are the ones that are concerned about you because if they are not concerned about you they probably wouldn't be affected at all since they probably doesnt even care at all whatever happened to you. But mostly your family and friends are going to be concerned about what you are doing they already know that gambling addiction is going to have a bad effect on you, especially on your mind and finances. I mean personally if I have a family or friend that I addicted to gambling for sure I would help him, even with some of the advice just to make him realize a few things, it wouldn't probably help that easily but it all needed to start to himself, if he doesnt want to change there was just nothing that we can do about it.

I mean they should want to help his self first, if he doesn't really want to help themselves then there is nothing that we do about it, all of it just needs to start on his self first in order to fix their problem. He really needs to admit it to himself, so that he can undergo to a process in order to fix his addiction etc. It might need the help of a professional when it comes to addiction so that he could undergo to a certain program that is going to cure his addiction.

[Jody.Drummer]

One of the biggest causes that affect it in my opinion is in terms of the environment and also social media, which maybe we also know that nowadays most children who are minors spend more time playing social media or watching YouTube shows after school, and there are so many sites that do large promotions in several social media which are clearly very likely for a child who is still underage to eventually be influenced and involved in gambling.

We hope that the government can really limit or even prohibit promotional impressions made by online casinos on several social media because after all it has a very negative impact and influence on someone who is underage and it can have an impact on their personality and future, and also on the other hand the role of parents is also very important where parents must be able to limit the activities carried out by their children, especially in the use of smart phones, because after all prevention is always better than cure. In the event that you're looking to get a new home, you'll want to make sure that you've got a good idea of the kind of home you're looking for, and that you've got a good idea of the kind of home you want, But for the problem of risk I think this type of game is much greater than other types of gambling because there are so many temptations and things that look tempting that it is very difficult to ignore but it is difficult to become a reality and to get a win you have to be really lucky, many gamblers who run out of large amounts of money in just one session because of the difficulty of controlling emotions when something that looks tempting is very difficult to get.

One of the main things that makes parenting would really be challenging is that you would really be needing to check your kids or children because in todays era then it would really be that so hard
to avoid for those kids not to see those things and not only on the things they do see online but also into those people who are in surrounding on which doing that gambling activity.
Anyone could really be able to influence you on which even if you are adult then you are really that prone into such possibility. Gambling addicts wont really be minding about into those people who would really be that affected or would be influenced on what they are doing. They would really be minding on their own interest in mind and people around could neither be affected or not.

Yes, actually the precautions that are more recommended are that we as parents must protect and limit a child from things that have bad possibilities and other negative things, not only gambling because there are still many other negative things that can affect a child, such as drugs for example, they are very likely to be affected and fall into it if they basically have the wrong friendship environment, but yes for the whole more dangerous is the digital world which as I said above that today's children prefer and prefer to spend a lot of time playing cell phones connected to the internet that they even forget time when they are holding smart phones.

So of course we as parents are fully obliged to take precautions in any way that is effective, the concern is that they are still minors in the sense that they are still very unstable and also have a fairly high level of curiosity about the new things they see, so limiting play time with friends in the neighborhood along with limiting the use of smart phones is really recommended and I think it has become an obligation. Yes, it is true that it is unlikely for gambling addicts to think about the impact that is transmitted to others, they only think about themselves and think about how to get money to continue gambling.

It is very worrying if more than one person in one family is addicted to gambling. because just one person's addiction can affect family relationships, where relationships can fall apart in many ways. it was with one person who was addicted to gambling. Moreover, if more than one person is addicted to gambling, it is likely that big problems will occur more quickly, the main ones of course financial, and economic as well as relationships. because in my opinion someone who is addicted will have an arrogant attitude and tend not to want to lose, and this can trigger arguments in family relationships.
with the impact of addiction which we all know is not a trivial matter, it can destroy a family, perhaps because of the selfishness of each person who is equally strong and does not want to give in to each other, so serious conflict can occur. I can't imagine if one family all liked to gamble, maybe they wouldn't care about each other, they would only think about themselves. It's true what you say, there are indeed many cases of quarrels in families because of gambling, but in my opinion this happens because they themselves gamble too much.

Since I do not have information about the possibility of inheriting these behaviors from parents to children, the most likely hypothesis is that one of them is influenced by the other, in which the younger is often influenced by the older, in what resembles a kind of curiosity. This is called the pathological effect, which is similar to the state of infection in organic diseases.
I have a friend who became addicted to gambling because he was influenced by his father, who is also addicted to gambling, even though the father never plays in front of his children (he is addicted to gambling and playing card games with his gambling friends), but the son grew up and found that his father had a bad reputation as a gambling addict, so he decided to become like him. The father can't stop him after finding out about his son. I find that these are indeed tragedies that the addict may cause without realizing it himself.

So now you have to be a parent who must be smarter than the child, must be able to supervise how children use their smartphones.
and how they get along, because a bad environment will make them affected.

It's sad to actually see underage children already addicted to gambling games,
But it's been unopposable, and some parents are also playing the same game, so there is no ban whatsoever.

In my opinion in this case it is the same as I said before regardless of whether there is a special expert (therapy) to cure gambling or a family that helps us to stop and reduce addiction actually it will seem useless if in the end we ourselves cannot control ourselves because from the beginning when you really want to stop in addiction, there must be an intention from yourself first. because the existence of special experts and family is only a push factor so that we can stop the effects of addiction faster but if in the end there is no intention in ourselves to stop even though there are lots of experts and family who want to help to get out of gambling it will not be able to be done even though there may be some people who can but it is only temporary because the intention to gamble in themselves is still there.

This is what must be considered because we know that we alone can control ourselves and as long as that cannot be done then indeed in the end it will still be difficult to stop and you will remain in the effects of addiction even though many support you to stop gambling.

[Zoomic]

Well it is quite difficult to get rid of addiction to gambling because even in this case what you said is true where family and closest people may indeed be quite helpful when someone wants to get out of the vicious circle where addiction has been in themselves but on the other hand it is only an option to increase support because after all someone who is addicted to gambling can only stop when they have the intention to stop in themselves.

As long as there is no intention to stop, the help from family and closest people will seem useless because they do not have the intention to gamble and only like to appreciate the help of those closest to them but do not eliminate the desire to gamble.

Overcoming gambling addiction has undoubtedly been one of the most difficult things for an addict to do, it's possible to do so but being possible doesn't make it easy.
To Overcome addiction, you need more than just a bunch people around you tryna help you get rid of your addiction. What a person really needs the most is the desire to quit the addiction, this desire always comes from within. You'll need to first take that bold step before someone else can step in to help you.

No effort is actually a waste when gambling addiction is concerned.  Most gamblers will never know the extent of damage they have caused for themselves,  the family and their loved ones until someone out there opens their eyes to those damages. Gamblers are humans too, at some point they will feel remorse and give themselves the chance to heal from gambling addiction. It might take time for a gambler to respond positively to help offered to him, but it is still a good start. We do not have to get tired of helping a loved one get rid of an addiction that is ruining his life and the relationship that existed between us. We must be intentional with our offer of help so a positive change can be seen.

They wouldnt know because they would really be just that mainly be thinking up for themselves and wont really care about into those people who are really that around them even if its family.
They would really be playing no matter what until into theirs heart content and on the time that they would really be having that kind of hardship and unfortunate conditions then this is is where they would really be
that making out such changes or adjustments on the time that the damage has been dont. This is why it would really be that important that if you are really that dealing up with gambling then as much as possible
you should really be that make yourself that responsible because if you dont then you would really be putting up yourself in harm and also into the people around you specially your family.

They are the ones who are mainly been affected when someones do really get addicted and this is something that should really be stopped if its needed because if you wont really be that making
yourself that too sensible and responsible towards your actions then you are really that putting up yourself at great risks.

It's sad to actually see underage children already addicted to gambling games,
But it's been unopposable, and some parents are also playing the same game, so there is no ban whatsoever.

Whatever the kids see to their parents, they're going to imitate it while they're young. And what's even harder is when they develop that habit until they grow up and that's the hardest part when they're already aged and can't removed that habit of gambling. All of the blame will go to the parents for not noticing that but I doubt it that they can't noticed that because when they're too stressed with what they're doing, they are not giving time to their kids and have some family time. That's why gadgets and stuff should have a screen time and limit for their kids to get monitored on what they do with it.
Because if they're going to give such limits, the kids that are seeing your actions as you gamble will also be dealt into addiction as they grow old and out of curiosity when they try to run an app of a casino and managed to see that you've got money there, they'll start to have that in mind that they can easily make money from it. But for them in order to make money, they need to steal money from their parents and have it deposited to that casino so they can start playing and making money. You know that the minds of the kids nowadays are tricky and innocent, they think what is right is right but on top of that, what they think is right is actually wrong and they're justifying it and dying to argue with what they believe is okay and right.

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

As with any addiction, the effects of addiction to games of chance and betting do not fall on the gambler alone. It affects the family, friends, relatives, and everyone around him, and may lead to the deterioration of their conditions.

It negatively affects social relationships and at the marital level. Pathological gambling can be described as a side relationship. The gambler invests his attention in gambling at the expense of the spouse, whom he sometimes repays to cover his infidelity. The marital relationship is destabilized against a background of lack of trust, helplessness, and anxiety about what will happen in the future.

But why do people always avoid talking about the good side of gambling, but rather focus on the bad side, e.g whereby a man gambles, lost all his savings and family perish. Why do we always avoid the good angle such as whereby a man through his winning gotten from gambling, he is able to establish business for his wife, buy a new house and live a good life. Why do we always avoid such stories? Because the truth of the fact is that is a man who lacks self-control while gambling, so will he lack self-control while venturing into other things, hence, gambling shouldn't always be the cause when a grown-up man fails to take full responsibility of his own actions.

Whatever is the tree, and so is its fruit. So when parents are gambling, most likely children will also imitate what their parents are doing, and might be thinking that gambling is the best and the most effective way to gain profits. They will continue to absorb this mindset even when they get matured, and even when they have learned in school that severe gambling is not good at all, but deep in their hearts, they will still chose to gamble because even their parents have been gambling throughout the years.

This is a sad reality that children are the most affected individuals when it comes to gambling. Good thing if they can be guided by some good people around, and will correct their mindset about gambling. But if the environment they will grow are populated by gamblers, then it’s a sure thing that these children will definitely grow into addicted gamblers as well.

But you would admit that negative aspects of gambling are all over the news with people still being irresponsible with their actions. And with news like this always making the rounds almost all the time, people would quickly forget about the positive aspects and dwell more on the negative ones.
And I don’t think one who lacks self control in gambling would automatically have same with other aspects of his life. Having self control in gambling doesn’t necessarily mean you’re going to have such a trait in other aspects of your life.

[LUCKMCFLY]

One of the main things that makes parenting would really be challenging is that you would really be needing to check your kids or children because in todays era then it would really be that so hard
to avoid for those kids not to see those things and not only on the things they do see online but also into those people who are in surrounding on which doing that gambling activity.
Anyone could really be able to influence you on which even if you are adult then you are really that prone into such possibility. Gambling addicts wont really be minding about into those people who would really be that affected or would be influenced on what they are doing. They would really be minding on their own interest in mind and people around could neither be affected or not.

So now you have to be a parent who must be smarter than the child, must be able to supervise how children use their smartphones.
and how they get along, because a bad environment will make them affected.

It's sad to actually see underage children already addicted to gambling games,
But it's been unopposable, and some parents are also playing the same game, so there is no ban whatsoever.

Sometimes we parents are not to blame for what may happen in what the children play, because for example with my 8 year old boy, I downloaded him a couple of games, but those games now come with a lot of adsense, and that When a child does not have the culture of removing those adsense, they get carried away, I say this because my son showed me a roulette game that was coming out, and I told him that this is annoying advertising that they want to be sold games, I told him that when That would come out, then I would simply remove it in the That is included, so these are things that sometimes parents get out of hand, however after that, every time he played, I sat next to him to see how he was doing, to see what he got.

This is very delicate, children are currently very fast and bold with these things, so as a parent you must control what they have to use this, it is better to control it by time, leave them a half hour or 1 hour a day so that they do not become addicted, under any circumstances one must always give children the required attention unconditionally.

If gambling is a prevalent activity within the household, it's likely that children will perceive it as a normative behavior. The impact of this can be profound, because it shapes their beliefs and attitudes towards gambling from a young age. Despite receiving education about the risks associated with excessive gambling, the ingrained influence of parental behavior may override this knowledge that leads children to perceive gambling as a viable means of gaining profits.

This perpetuates a cycle of gambling behavior within families, wherein young generation is predisposed to engage in similar activities due to learned behaviors and societal norms. Breaking free from this cycle can be challenging, especially if children are surrounded by an environment where gambling is normalized and accepted. Addressing the root causes of gambling addiction requires community-wide efforts to promote responsible gambling practices and support mechanisms for those at risk.

It's sad to actually see underage children already addicted to gambling games,
But it's been unopposable, and some parents are also playing the same game, so there is no ban whatsoever.

Our guardians mean no harm but just looking for extra means of earning from the system. Most of them managed themselfes proper. Everyone is held to a particular responsibility and they will do everything possible within their reach to ensure they keep balance in gambling but that's definitely not happening because the system comes with different results. The best results comes with entertaining matches and actions. Gambling activities coming from the parents is fine but when that activity affects the household like seeing the children desperate to make money at young age, they will grow together.

[hyudien]

Since I do not have information about the possibility of inheriting these behaviors from parents to children, the most likely hypothesis is that one of them is influenced by the other, in which the younger is often influenced by the older, in what resembles a kind of curiosity. This is called the pathological effect, which is similar to the state of infection in organic diseases.
I have a friend who became addicted to gambling because he was influenced by his father, who is also addicted to gambling, even though the father never plays in front of his children (he is addicted to gambling and playing card games with his gambling friends), but the son grew up and found that his father had a bad reputation as a gambling addict, so he decided to become like him. The father can't stop him after finding out about his son. I find that these are indeed tragedies that the addict may cause without realizing it himself.

with the case that you tell about about a child who inherited the behavior of his father who was a gambler, and in my opinion it is true that the saying that the fruit does not fall far from the tree, even though his father did not gamble in front of him, but when his character has declined, so will his father's behavior. will pass on to their children. Also, currently there is a lot of online gambling circulating and with the current reality that most people cannot be far from their cellphones and the internet, of course this also makes it possible for everyone to be familiar with gambling and if they are interested then there is a possibility that they could become addicted to gambling.
Sometimes what's annoying is the impact of gambling which can spread to other people who don't know anything, especially the family, in one family there is someone who is addicted to gambling so it's very likely that as time goes by the family who don't know anything about it will be affected perhaps from finances which could lead to arguments that could destroy initially good family relationships.

Yes that's right, the biggest impact will be felt by children and most likely their future will be guaranteed, or in the sense that their future will be very bad when gambling activities are ingrained in their lives. Honestly, I really can't imagine the impact if this situation really happens in a family environment, losing balance in terms of finances is something they will definitely experience and the worst thing is like what you said about the mindset of a child who over time will assume and think that gambling is an activity that is not a problem for them to always do, and this is dangerous.

Of course in the end it is the younger generation who will be the victims of the mistakes of adults or their parents who normalize gambling activities in their environment. But on the other hand I think this kind of situation is quite unlikely to happen in an environment that relates the role of many people, one of the reasons is because I think there will be some people who can really think rationally about gambling, especially when they experience a lot of losses because gambling is always about risky activities, meaning that not only will they win but losing is also a certainty, and there may be some people who think that it is better to avoid gambling because they experience a number of losses that are quite disruptive financially in their lives.

Indeed, if there are people in the family who like to gamble, new problems will arise in the family environment, namely, it is very likely that children or offspring will start to be curious and try to follow in their parents' footsteps. Especially if children have started to enter adolescence, if they are not given guidance in understanding what gambling really is, then it is likely that children will follow in their parents' footsteps. However, if the child has been given guidance and he begins to understand, it is possible that this cycle will slowly start to fade and disappear in the family.
Therefore, it is better to provide a good and accurate understanding from an early age if their parents' previous behavior was a mistake and the risks are very high in everyday life.

Yeah, most likely what they see from their parents or whoever is adult in their house will definitely have a place in their minds and they're going to do the same thing as them. That's why if you're a parent that has a concern to your kid, you should never allow them to see you gamble because if you do so, they will no doubt going to imitate your actions and that bad habits that they will develop whilst they're a kid will result into a terrible habit as they grow up.
Many of the children don't know yet what's good and bad, right and wrong and we as adults need to guide them so that they'll have the idea on what they're doing if it's right or wrong. Because without having that guide, they are for sure going to have a bad future and these habits will definitely pull their lives down and it's going to be a sad day when you realize and saw them that they're completely addicted. We don't want that to happen to any kid that we know especially if that kid is from our own.

Yes there would be no harm but the influence that it could give would really be bringing out that such big impact into someones lives specially into your children. You might not be able to see it early
but sooner or later in life then it would really be something that could really be destructive and this is why it would really be that important that if you are a parent or guardian then it would really be just that wise that you should really be knowing on how to hide off those things out of their awareness so that you wont really be able to influence them and they do saw on what you are doing.

You wont really be able to tell whether they would really be doing gambling at younger age or not as you as a parent had been involving into it then it wont really be shocking
that most of those kids will really be ended up the same.

As much as possible, parents should be the role model of their children. Not the other way around. If somehow, the parent or parents is/are into gambling, much better if he/she won't let his/her kids see their gambling activities. They are not yet ready to live that kind of life. Because they are still too young, they can have immature decisions that can be detrimental to their way of living.

So now you have to be a parent who must be smarter than the child, must be able to supervise how children use their smartphones.
and how they get along, because a bad environment will make them affected.

I believe, that's the big challenge in this generation. The existence of smartphones brings a very good access over the net and all kinds of apps, including gambling apps. So the parents should instill a very good habit or virtue to their kids on how to handle themselves in front of their gadgets.

But why do people always avoid talking about the good side of gambling, but rather focus on the bad side, e.g whereby a man gambles, lost all his savings and family perish. Why do we always avoid the good angle such as whereby a man through his winning gotten from gambling, he is able to establish business for his wife, buy a new house and live a good life. Why do we always avoid such stories? Because the truth of the fact is that is a man who lacks self-control while gambling, so will he lack self-control while venturing into other things, hence, gambling shouldn't always be the cause when a grown-up man fails to take full responsibility of his own actions.

I don’t think people ordinarily focus more on the negative aspects of gambling.

Negative news gets the interest of readers, that's the enforcer for the type of gambling news spreading around the society. Lots of positive aspect of gambling is silenced and not discussed. Most people think gambling is all wrong, due to bad publicity. The gambling community have lots of tasks ahead, regarding matters as this, which keeps tarnishing the good image of gambling. I think lots of irresponsible gamblers around the society, contributed to the negative news on gambling. As they get addicted and cause their homes to be sad.

The information circulates, and people would want to know the cause of the problem, gambling would be called. What else do you expect his acquittances to think or say about gambling. Although the good news barely gets discussed, players who won jackpots can, still, end up going broke or addicted. Then making the society think gambling, won't be useful on any account. It also shows that more people get affected by gambling, compared to the impact it has on them, money or skill wise. However, some gamblers have the opportunity to increase their skills through gambling. Skills like critical thinking, is obtainable via gambling. But depends on the gambler's level of understanding. 

[Wiwo]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

It is as simple as saying those that financially dependent on the gambler. The only people who may not depend on the addicted gambler but are not happy about their son or daughter's addiction are parents.

I prefer ways to avoid the addiction to those that are indirectly affected.

Addiction is a bad reality and everyone needs to avoid it regardless of who is affected,  be it the gambler himself or his relatives,  this is why most times we always try to create a room where we are safe from all addiction tendencies and try to escape any of it possibility,  one of the reasons why addictions are viewed as a community crisis is the impact of addiction in the overall well being of the gamblers and since he is a member of a community will definitely rob off on the community at last.

So at best gambling addictions are a call for concern for everyone since gambling addictions could result in circumstances that may be hard to control and could drag the community into turmoil if not checked and dealt with on time.

Indeed, if there are people in the family who like to gamble, new problems will arise in the family environment, namely, it is very likely that children or offspring will start to be curious and try to follow in their parents' footsteps. Especially if children have started to enter adolescence, if they are not given guidance in understanding what gambling really is, then it is likely that children will follow in their parents' footsteps. However, if the child has been given guidance and he begins to understand, it is possible that this cycle will slowly start to fade and disappear in the family.
Therefore, it is better to provide a good and accurate understanding from an early age if their parents' previous behavior was a mistake and the risks are very high in everyday life.

Equipping children with the knowledge and skills to make informed choices is a great thing done by parents to break the cycle of gambling and promote healthier family dynamics. Providing children with early education and guidance about gambling is crucial in preventing the perpetuation of harmful behaviors within the family. Parents are role model for their children who make them curious and inclined to follow suit, particularly as they enter adolescence.

Without proper guidance and education about the risks and consequences of gambling, children may be more susceptible to adopting similar behaviors. They would be perpetuating a cycle of gambling within the family. Parents need to educate them about the potential dangers of gambling and fostering critical thinking skills. Parents can empower their children to make informed decisions and resist the lure of gambling. Parents need to intervene early and provide guidance to mitigate the potential harm, because it can cause to both individuals and family dynamics. By instilling a strong understanding of the risks and consequences of gambling, parents can gradually diminish the cycle of gambling within the family.

With gambling addictions, a person will become addicted to gambling by watching gambling every day better to leave gambling companions and stop going anywhere related to gambling. Play is a fun thing but not all games are fun. such as gambling. Although gambling is played in the name of gambling it is essentially something different from playing. Gambling is a game with which the issues of addiction and addiction come up very strongly. Once an addiction has developed both time and energy are wasted on gambling. Even after hundreds of attempts there is no change in the habit.

When an addict spreads in a person, i.e. becomes addicted by the nervous system, it is not possible to get rid of it easily, even with thousands of attempts. Gambling is like an addiction which is not easy to get rid of even if you try hard to get rid of it. Moreover, gambling has many indirect harmful social problems which, if not easily eradicated, will spread so socially that its harmful effects will be observed among all sections of the society. When gamblers participate in gambling in open public spaces, from the general public to school and college students and all those addicts, they are curious and try to master them, gradually all these addictions spread to different levels of society, resulting in a society permanently plagued with various problems.

Yes, as a parent you should do the best for your child by providing good and correct lessons and knowledge in everything so that your child gets used to adapting with good understanding and avoiding things that will make his life suffer in the future. However, as a parent, you must educate and explain to your child slowly but surely so that your child does not misperceive this understanding.
If it is related to gambling, it is true what you said that parents must invest from an early age in their children by providing examples of good behavior and good knowledge. If gambling is something that is very risky, it is very likely that people who enter the gambling area will not get pleasure but will have great regret.

Simply put, addiction is a disease that exists in the human brain system where he is obsessed with a certain activity, if for example the activity he likes does not contain any risk then maybe yes there will be no serious impact as happens in gambling, but if the addiction they experience in gambling or in the sense that they really like gambling for some reason then obviously for the problem the impact is definitely significant. On the other hand, one of the things that makes it difficult for someone to get out of gambling addiction is that they usually do not have the right understanding of gambling.

Most of them usually have the intention and goal to make money in gambling so when your goal is like that then obviously it is very difficult for you to get out of this activity because your hopes and beliefs are very high towards winning but in the end the facts keep slapping yourself that most sessions always end in defeat. And yes I agree with you that the impact of gambling involves social relationships with the community, there are many people who are affected indirectly, such as when scenarios where you hang out or have friends who are already addicted to gambling which in the end it is possible for you to experience some problems such as your friend borrowing money to gamble which in the end does not pay and becomes a problem.

Slots and children this is very much known to me. I was sort of victim of indirect gambling at my childhood. After the school, on the way home, few times we have visited casino (there were only slots, can this be called a casino then?) and gambled lunch money. This wasnt done every day; maybe once a few month. We were a company of classmates who walked home. Some of my friends gambled there on the way home. I did it more rarely than they. But still, to be «in the company» or «like them», I have tried slots.

I can relate to that because we have had similar habits as children where we would go out as a group of friends and sometimes gamble on games that are played in shops or sometimes on streets where there are small areas created as places for fun activities and stuff where you can play some local gambling games as well. It used to be fun when we used to go there because you always have a good time with friends around you.

A game that I remember from there was that they used to have a board where they had some images fixed, and then another dice-shaped box where the same images are fixed. You would need to make a bet on one of the images, he will roll the dice, and if the image you have bet on comes on top, you win all the money on the board except his commission which we can call the house edge.

Parents must take care of the child until the child reaches adulthood. Otherwise the child may go astray. Moreover, a underage child does not know which is the right way for him. He has to be taught and if there are any mistakes it is the responsibility of the parents to convey those mistakes. Of course, they should be maintained according to their age. If children are interested in gambling, they should be made aware from the beginning that it is not a way to make money. This is risky work. When a gambler can get an idea about risk and investment from his family, he can definitely make better decisions about gambling matters. That is why family education is of course very important. It may not work directly but may be a good solution for indirect damage.

The possibility is like that, immature children they tend to be easily influenced by things that look fun, especially with gambling where gambling is a game. And it's true what you said that they don't know and can't determine which things are right and wrong, they will do unexpected things even by seeing other people they can imitate them. For children of their age who are not old enough, of course they are not or not the time to think about making money, because with their young age they are in the play phase. It's a big problem if they are already gambling when they are not old enough, in my opinion they will be addicted and may continue for a long time into their future.
I agree with you about the education that must be done by parents. And indeed education is not only in school, of course in the outside world they can also take lessons. By educating them properly it can help them in reaching a good future because of course if they are addicted to gambling it will destroy them themselves and can reach others.

As with any addiction, the effects of addiction to games of chance and betting do not fall on the gambler alone. It affects the family, friends, relatives, and everyone around him, and may lead to the deterioration of their conditions.

It negatively affects social relationships and at the marital level. Pathological gambling can be described as a side relationship. The gambler invests his attention in gambling at the expense of the spouse, whom he sometimes repays to cover his infidelity. The marital relationship is destabilized against a background of lack of trust, helplessness, and anxiety about what will happen in the future.

But why do people always avoid talking about the good side of gambling, but rather focus on the bad side, e.g whereby a man gambles, lost all his savings and family perish. Why do we always avoid the good angle such as whereby a man through his winning gotten from gambling, he is able to establish business for his wife, buy a new house and live a good life. Why do we always avoid such stories? Because the truth of the fact is that is a man who lacks self-control while gambling, so will he lack self-control while venturing into other things, hence, gambling shouldn't always be the cause when a grown-up man fails to take full responsibility of his own actions.

Because in fact there are more bad sides than positive sides, you should be able to judge for yourself how gambling is played by irresponsible people, causing addiction and ultimately harming their families and the families have to bear the burden of the addict themselves. While the positive side or people who true success in gambling can be counted on the fingers of one's fingers, while there are more people who feel disadvantaged, so it's natural that more people talk about the bad side of gambling than the good side of gambling, because if lots of people talk about the good side of gambling, it will lead to more people being trapped. who gamble and not everyone is able to control themselves when they start playing, especially if they don't have any experience.

Indeed, there is still a positive side to gambling if they are able to really take advantage of it, such as using their winnings to build a business or buy a vehicle and use it for work, but if they use their winnings just to have fun, of course that is not a positive side. But unfortunately not many people are truly lucky in gambling, most of them experience losses. Some go bankrupt and don't have anything and there are also those who borrow millions just because they are too caught up in losing and in the end they become homeless and unable to pay back the money.

Informal education facilitates fast learning, as it's known, everyone is a teacher, but learning swiftly requires a good tutor, one that can interact with his students, ward, acquittances, etc., with no signs of scaring them away. Family is an excellent place for informal education, but most parents scare their kids away. That's not helpful in teaching a child. As a kid, I enjoyed learning from people I love, regardless of if it's a family member of a formal teacher. In any learning process, the teacher and the student must be in a quality relationship. Gambling is a broad topic and needs to be thought often to growing kids who are developing interest in the game. It's not wrong, provided they are up to the required age for gambling in their country.

When a child is not informed about the necessity in gambling, he would find himself in a tough situation, during his gambling days. Some parents don't ask their kids questions on gambling. Hence, lots of growing kids who may have been exposed to gambling, don't receive adequate counselling on such mistake. When they grow up, they'll likely become gamblers. Building a strong, quality relationship with the growing child, dissolves his hearths and lets him open up on everything he knows on the subject. Because he wouldn't mind, since the teacher is a close friend.

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

The suffering of gamblers' relatives is a difficult topic that often goes unnoticed. Relatives often experience anxiety, fear and disappointment when they see their loved ones getting lost in the world of excitement.
However, the family plays a key role in supporting the addicted gambler. It is important to listen and understand the causes of his problem, discuss possible steps to recovery and provide emotional support. Specialist help, family therapy, and support for social groups can also be helpful. It is important to remember that family support and understanding can be the basis for successfully overcoming gambling addiction.

It wont be discussed not until that there would really be those kind of expression of feelings on which we know that it would really be usually be seen only if there would really be having complaints or having those confrontations on which this is really that less likely to happen. This is why they would really be just that ignored and if this one happens inside the family then it would be normal that those
issues cant go out or wouldnt be known considering that this is some sort of family problem then it should really be solved out by the family itself. It is really just that sad that people who are mainly
been that affected isnt just only the addict itself but also to the people around who do love him/her.

This is why as an individual who do really tend to engage with gambling then it would really be that wise that you should really be wary with your actions if you dont like to
mess up your life and would be affecting those people around you specially our loved ones.

What you say is also true, that it could be that people who are addicted to gambling are very obsessed with something which can influence their brain's thinking about how to do it, especially in gambling, many people are obsessed with just winning, so they will do anything for the sake of it. That. chase that victory.

Of course, parents have a very big responsibility towards their children and parents must also set a good example so that in the future they can become good mentors and can be imitated by their children well in the future. Indeed, teaching or providing understanding to children must be appropriate to the child's age. If children are still teenagers, then this period is very vulnerable in understanding various things, both positive and negative, and this is the beginning of a big responsibility for parents towards their children, because adolescence is a very vulnerable age and when they are adults. , it is likely that children will begin to understand and understand what is good or bad for their future life.

We must start with open dialogue. Parents and mentors must improve, participate without intimidation, and become trusted advisors kids need. Every element of life requires informed judgements, not just gambling. Without adequate education, our kids will cause major problems. We must provide them the knowledge and critical thinking abilities to handle life's challenges, including gambling. Simple: Inform, educate, and be a role model.

Discussing gambling with children is important but changes nothing. Most of the people gambling today were told about gambling dangers but that didn’t hinder them from gambling. A child will decide what he wants for himself when he gets to adulthood. There are so many things my parents instructed me not to do but as I grew up I am doing some of them because it is in my interest to do them. Even the ones I don’t do is not because of parental advice but because within me I don’t fancy doing it.

Well, we shouldn’t rule out the role of advice in a child. I think the reason why children should be told about gambling earlier is to enable them to avoid underage gambling. When a child gambles so early in life, he can easily get addicted and then create a plethora of problems for himself, friends and even family.

The parental relation diminishes daily, as the economy gets tough each day. Players who have kids, should develop the habit of asking effective questions to their kids. Generally, about their interests. Holding them to some pleasant conversation, builds them emotionally, and improves the child's intelligence in the most crucial means, which include asking quality questions. That's what saves the world today, questions. When a child forms the habit of asking question on things he's heard and don't understand, the parent will be able to figure out the kind of company their child keeps.

Thereby setting up a conversation directly on what bothers the child. Because in some occurrences, the child may not have been hearing or exposed to gambling, coming up with gambling discussion can introduce the child to gambling for the first time. Hence, this could be another approach, letting the child feel free to ask any form of question. Holding on to his interest and correcting where he gets the perspective wrong is super excellent in changing the thoughts of a child on a specific topic, including gambling. Note: If the child has asked question regarding gambling.

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

The suffering of gamblers' relatives is a difficult topic that often goes unnoticed. Relatives often experience anxiety, fear and disappointment when they see their loved ones getting lost in the world of excitement.
However, the family plays a key role in supporting the addicted gambler. It is important to listen and understand the causes of his problem, discuss possible steps to recovery and provide emotional support. Specialist help, family therapy, and support for social groups can also be helpful. It is important to remember that family support and understanding can be the basis for successfully overcoming gambling addiction.

You are right and I completely agree with you, personally, I would say that relatives and those very close to a gambling addict most of the times be the ones at the receiving end, like you said, they experience alot of shame, regrets and as well as disappointments, all because they are the ones who are always at the receiving end when ever their brother or sister who is addicted to gambling goes out and misbehaves, or causes problems that will warrant the family coming out to bail him or her.

I remember something that happens some previous years ago, where a guy was always gambling with all the money he has, including that of this wife when ever he finds out where the wife kept her money, this dude will take the money and gamble it all away.
The wife was always facing ridicle from her business associates whom she borrowed money from for her business, but could not be able to pay back because her husband saw the money where she kept and took it and gambled it all away.
She was insulted, disgraced, fought with, disappointed and she also lost most of her good friends, at the end, she couldn't take it anymore, she had to quit and leave the marriage, cus all her effort to help the man proved abortive.

So, in the nutshell, I would say that, most gambling addicts don't actually know what they put people around them though, most especially family members and good friends.

Gambling addiction is just like every other negative addiction, it affects the addict and the people who are closest to them, gambling addicts are going to lose relationships with those who care about them, their friends and loved ones would want to stay far away from them, because their addiction can bring others down with them, so sometimes it is better to stay away. If you want to help your loved one who is an addict, then it is recommended that you guys seek professional help, they might get better after that and recover relationships they have lost.

Yes because it is not about the activity but it's about the addiction. The only time that the people around us will be affected is if we are already addicted because it changes our mood from good to bad. We can get irritated easily if we lose and put the blame to the people around us, especially if they want us to stop or hate us because of our condition.

We can also steal money only to play again. To ask for a professional help may not be cheap, so before it, maybe we can try convincing the addict first. Who knows, it might work, especially if the condition is not yet severe. This is why it's important to be aware of what is happening around us.

Since I do not have information about the possibility of inheriting these behaviors from parents to children, the most likely hypothesis is that one of them is influenced by the other, in which the younger is often influenced by the older, in what resembles a kind of curiosity. This is called the pathological effect, which is similar to the state of infection in organic diseases.
I have a friend who became addicted to gambling because he was influenced by his father, who is also addicted to gambling, even though the father never plays in front of his children (he is addicted to gambling and playing card games with his gambling friends), but the son grew up and found that his father had a bad reputation as a gambling addict, so he decided to become like him. The father can't stop him after finding out about his son. I find that these are indeed tragedies that the addict may cause without realizing it himself.

with the case that you tell about about a child who inherited the behavior of his father who was a gambler, and in my opinion it is true that the saying that the fruit does not fall far from the tree, even though his father did not gamble in front of him, but when his character has declined, so will his father's behavior. will pass on to their children. Also, currently there is a lot of online gambling circulating and with the current reality that most people cannot be far from their cellphones and the internet, of course this also makes it possible for everyone to be familiar with gambling and if they are interested then there is a possibility that they could become addicted to gambling.
Sometimes what's annoying is the impact of gambling which can spread to other people who don't know anything, especially the family, in one family there is someone who is addicted to gambling so it's very likely that as time goes by the family who don't know anything about it will be affected perhaps from finances which could lead to arguments that could destroy initially good family relationships.

Logically, a child under the age of 18 (legally under the age of maturity) cannot be held accountable. Therefore, all blame falls on the parents, even if the child was influenced by another source, such as being influenced by a relative who is addicted to gambling, or being influenced by advertisements on Internet sites, or even by a recommendation from a friend. Parents are responsible for the psychological and cultural formation of their children, and they bear responsibility for the fate of their child, especially during childhood and the following stage.

With the advancement of technology, learning and practicing gambling has become easier. But at the same time, the same development has occurred in the means of guardians monitoring and checking on their children, as well as their behavior, which must be characterized to a large extent by integrity.

Gambling addiction is just like every other negative addiction, it affects the addict and the people who are closest to them, gambling addicts are going to lose relationships with those who care about them, their friends and loved ones would want to stay far away from them, because their addiction can bring others down with them, so sometimes it is better to stay away. If you want to help your loved one who is an addict, then it is recommended that you guys seek professional help, they might get better after that and recover relationships they have lost.

I'm never holding back whenever I sense a significant odd, I don't hesitate to play it. We can never be able to ruled out losses from the system, because if we don't lose, how will the system generates their monetary value? We will lose in gambling system because that's how the system is been designated. Gambling addicts are the worst set of gamblers, they will do anything to gamble and they become desperate to make money while forgetting the fact about gambling, its more like a trap. Gambling addicts will continue to suffer because they've dedicated more of their time to gambling and they won't be able to be independent in recording streak winnings.

That's true, of course with those who are still not old enough, if they make a mistake then it will still be the burden and responsibility of their parents. indeed, if you are still not old enough, whatever problems occur, of course the parents will be responsible for everything, also sometimes when we are adults we still need parents to help with problems that occur, but not entirely by parents because of course when we are adults we are already We must be able to choose which things are good for us and which things are not good for us, and be responsible for everything that happens because it is based on our own actions.
of course with the development of technology this is good but sometimes it also makes things difficult and there are negatives such as online gambling, online gambling has influenced many young people in every country, I am sure every young person in the world must be familiar with online gambling which is currently popular in the media social, therefore it is not surprising that they are familiar with online gambling because they are already used to spending their daily lives using cellphones and the internet.

Simply put, addiction is a disease that exists in the human brain system where he is obsessed with a certain activity, if for example the activity he likes does not contain any risk then maybe yes there will be no serious impact as happens in gambling, but if the addiction they experience in gambling or in the sense that they really like gambling for some reason then obviously for the problem the impact is definitely significant. On the other hand, one of the things that makes it difficult for someone to get out of gambling addiction is that they usually do not have the right understanding of gambling.

Most of them usually have the intention and goal to make money in gambling so when your goal is like that then obviously it is very difficult for you to get out of this activity because your hopes and beliefs are very high towards winning but in the end the facts keep slapping yourself that most sessions always end in defeat. And yes I agree with you that the impact of gambling involves social relationships with the community, there are many people who are affected indirectly, such as when scenarios where you hang out or have friends who are already addicted to gambling which in the end it is possible for you to experience some problems such as your friend borrowing money to gamble which in the end does not pay and becomes a problem.

What you say is also true, that it could be that people who are addicted to gambling are very obsessed with something which can influence their brain's thinking about how to do it, especially in gambling, many people are obsessed with just winning, so they will do anything for the sake of it. That. chase that victory.

Yes, it is actually difficult to get out of gambling addiction when someone still really wants to gamble based on the obsession to get a lot of winnings, because it is very clear that with that you will never be able to reach the level of consciousness to admit that what you are doing is wrong. So actually the conclusion is that it is difficult to overcome gambling addiction when you still really want to gamble or that means you still really like gambling activities, even though on the other hand you may experience financial problems due to excessive gambling but you will never think of changing or recovering or even you don't feel that you are actually addicted, this is because you still haven't reached awareness or haven't realized that the way you gamble is wrong so there is no thought that leads to changes to recover.

And obviously it means that if someone has been able to reach the level of awareness in themselves as well as realizing that the many problems they feel in life such as in terms of finances are due to treating gambling in the wrong way then obviously from there in my opinion you will start thinking about correcting your mistakes regarding the wrong approach to gambling or even you think about stopping completely.

[GideonGono]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

It is as simple as saying those that financially dependent on the gambler. The only people that may not depend on the addicted gambler but not happy about their son or daughter addiction are parents.

I prefer ways to avoid the addiction than those that are indirectly affected.

Yes the one who would be most affected are those who depends on the gambler, if they already have kids the kids would be the one who would feel the consequences of the addicted gambler because of thet would struggle financially.
I agree that parents would surely be affected but not as much as the gamblers kids, sometimes they would even be made fun because of it in short they could also be bullied due to their parents gambling addiction.

It would be a shame if children had bad effects due to parents who are addicted to gambling. It is important to learn to control income and expenses well. Not all income is allocated to gambling, as a responsible parent you should think about how your household life will run. Don't let children get bad treatment from the surrounding environment, which is the result of irresponsible parents. Stop or leave gambling if it makes life difficult.

All of the people around the players - children, parents, spouses, friends - will be affected. It is sure that gambling addiction can affect not only people around the gambler, but also animals. Therefore, it is important not to miss the moment and give a helping hand to your acquaintance or family member who got into trouble with gambling. Any of us may one day overstep the line and become a gambling addict, so help each other in any way you can and the world around you will be a much better place.

A person who is addicted and is a father of a family, but has to Adapt that the First thing is his obligations and that they have to adhere to what they must Fulfill , when that person fails, because nothing to do, his family begins to suffer, That is why sometimes when parents fail and cannot support their children, the government takes the children, they put them in Reformatories , because it is or how it is done, in the event that it Reaches the required instances.

That is why children must always be Given as much happiness as Possible , so that they are Adults, just as they have had a life full of a very beautiful childhood, that they are good adults and that they can contribute to the world as they should , in this way they It reduces the possibility that there are so many criminals in the world , that is something we have to see all the time.

Partners in dependency - Relatives often try to "understand" the addict and help him, by paying off his debts, while accepting his promise to stop gambling, a promise he is unable to keep. More than once, family members come to the aid process, becoming partners so that they become “addicted” to the therapeutic process. But help works in exactly the opposite direction instead of helping the gambler wean off, they perpetuate his condition. These partners, such as parents or spouses, may find themselves in great distress that requires treatment.

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

By paying all the debts of gamblers by their families, it will not help them to stop because they assume that every time they owe money, someone will pay it.
If family members want to see the gambler stop then this step is not a good decision, it is better to direct them to rehabilitation by relying on people who have psychological abilities because addiction is more of a psychological activity that must be touched directly. Encourage them to stop gambling and do therapy consistently every time because that's the only way they can slowly stop gambling.

Apart from family, there are many people in the immediate environment who can become victims of gambling that people do.
Such as neighbors, children or wives because these activities are directly related to the social life of the gambler and those closest to him.

For sure it would really be definitely be fueling up someones gambling activity even more because they do know that there's someone who would really be paying up those debts but the question is,
how long the family of yours would really be doing it? Aren't you ashamed that you're supposed to be the husband and father or simply the foundation of the family but typically doing such bullshit addiction and spending like a mad man? as if you dont have a family to raise for? You are just basically showing on how irresponsible you are and it is really that sad that someone would really be
affected by the actions that you are making.

It is really just that sad that there would really be people who would really be mainly affected on the things that you've been doing and the first one would be your own loved ones or family.
What if they dont have the money? for sure it would really be that a pain in the ass kind of problem that you would be giving.

Yes, it is actually difficult to get out of gambling addiction when someone still really wants to gamble based on the obsession to get a lot of winnings, because it is very clear that with that you will never be able to reach the level of consciousness to admit that what you are doing is wrong. So actually the conclusion is that it is difficult to overcome gambling addiction when you still really want to gamble or that means you still really like gambling activities, even though on the other hand you may experience financial problems due to excessive gambling but you will never think of changing or recovering or even you don't feel that you are actually addicted, this is because you still haven't reached awareness or haven't realized that the way you gamble is wrong so there is no thought that leads to changes to recover.

What you say is very true, it is very difficult to leave the casino if in our hearts and minds we want to continue playing, because it is useless if we force ourselves to stop but want to continue playing, in my opinion this will cause stress. for us and our emotional feelings. of course it will also be disturbed.
Having addictive behavior is very risky for us and takes a long time to cure it, therefore it is true what you said that a gambler must have a high level of awareness to be able to control himself when gambling, don't overdo it. and always be careful in every action he takes.

[OceanBit]

Gambling addiction of a person pretty much affects everyone he has interacted to. It's like a chain or domino effect that can impact one person, family, and even society. It most likely starts with children and family, where children are being neglected and family suffer from stress, instability and financially. Isolation from friends or social circle. Less productivity, absenteeism, or even theft or fraud in workspace. Debt and loans from financial institutions. Increased social problems from community or society like being homeless, poverty, family breakdown, affecting everyone as a whole.

That's why we must have a good self-control so we can always hold ourselves from playing gambling excessively. We don't want experiencing like what other people do because that will gives us regret and we can't imagine how it feels. Yes, it will impact to our emotional feelings and gives stresses to us if we can't hold ourselves from continuing playing gambling.

Addictive behavior must be prevent by learning self-control and practice it so we can have awareness and remembering that playing gambling is just for having fun and not for making money. We already see what happen to many people so we don't want to gets the same experiences like them.

Gambling can completely influence thinking, with the final result or winning causing a feeling of addiction. and this makes us think about gambling again with the same aim of winning. Most gamblers don't care about the losses that occur, even when they lose they don't stop there, they can gamble again because of the thoughts that drive them and want to recover their losses, but thoughts like this tend to trap themselves.
with a feeling of addiction and it affects thinking, and in that way of course they will continue to gamble and find it difficult to stop so that slowly the pressure that occurs gets bigger and if they can't fix it, it's very likely that what you said they will become stressed. I agree with you that having an addiction to gambling can make our lives ruined.

[Dewi Aries]

Yes and I would say that the problem point is "hope", meaning that they still have hope in winning from gambling so that it makes it difficult for them to quit their gambling activities, usually they always assume and think "one more time" or "it looks like this time I will be lucky", such ideas always lead to new experimental actions that can be even more excessive. Which means that if for example the thing I said above can happen or means that they are able to achieve awareness due to often being dominated by defeat in some experimental sessions then thinking towards change is likely to happen.

So the key in this case is to prioritize and maintain caution along with self-awareness, especially when you are still in the regular gambler stage or meaning that you have not entered the addiction phase in the sense that you don't really feel excessive interest in gambling activities, all of this is for your safety in the long run, because after all gambling always involves things that look tempting which are sometimes very difficult to ignore, which means that if you don't apply caution and maintain full awareness within yourself then it is obviously very easy for you to fall into and get carried away which ultimately causes a lot of problems.

The concept of addiction to gambling affecting the whole society in a domino effect could be possible as you describe, but only if a important percentage of society or population is engaged in gambling addiction or problem gambling, otherwise, the effect would not be big enough to affect big institutions which are supposed to provide liquidity and are being default by gamblers. It is a possibility, but it is quite remote, in my opinion.
Mostly, when I think about gambling addiction, all that comes to mind are societal problems, like those you mentioned.

Ironically, depending on how successful the casinos are and the policy of the local government, we could say that even the treasury if the state could benefit from the gambling addiction of part of the population, as part of the income of the casino is supposed to be given by the staff is the casino to the government in the form of taxes. To had more irony, part of those taxes are supposed to be used to rehabilitate problem gamblers.

The societal impact of gambling addiction might not be immediately apparent if only a small percentage of the population is affected, but even a small number of people addicted to gambling can have ripple effects in society. Problem gambling can lead to serious financial hardships for the people and their families that contribute to financial issues. This places strain on social support systems. The consequences of gambling addiction extend beyond financial implications, affecting mental health, relationships, and overall well-being.

Addicted gamblers may experience heightened levels of stress, depression, and anxiety, which can manifest in various ways, including increased healthcare utilization and decreased productivity in the workforce. Problem gambling has been linked to higher rates of criminal activity, including theft, fraud, and embezzlement, because those people may resort to illegal means to fund their gambling habits. Gambling establishments contribute to government revenue through taxes, but it would be a bad effect on the ethical responsibilities of policymakers in regulating and addressing issues related to problem gambling.

Hi community,

As with any addiction, the effects of addiction to games of chance and betting do not fall on the gambler alone. It affects the family, friends, relatives, and everyone around him, and may lead to the deterioration of their conditions.

It negatively affects social relationships and at the marital level. Pathological gambling can be described as a side relationship. The gambler invests his attention in gambling at the expense of the spouse, whom he sometimes repays to cover his infidelity. The marital relationship is destabilized against a background of lack of trust, helplessness, and anxiety about what will happen in the future.


Gambling and accumulated debts  lead the gambler to a moral collapse that may even amount to an existential threat to family members. Gamblers do not hesitate to sell property to finance their debts, take loans from relatives without any ability to repay the debts, and in extreme cases they may even physically harm family members.

Partners in dependency - Relatives often try to "understand" the addict and help him, by paying off his debts, while accepting his promise to stop gambling, a promise he is unable to keep. More than once, family members come to the aid process, becoming partners so that they become “addicted” to the therapeutic process. But help works in exactly the opposite direction instead of helping the gambler wean off, they perpetuate his condition. These partners, such as parents or spouses, may find themselves in great distress that requires treatment.

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

There are all sorts of traps laid down in life and the best thing you can aim for is doing things in moderation. It's fine to gamble a little bit, hopefully you understand the statistics and mathematics that are working against you when you participate in most gambling games involving a casino. There is the saying the Vegas was not built from winning players, which should show you the the massive amounts of wealth that can be accumulated by these profitable businesses. You also need to consider that most people will only take and seek out help when they reach rock bottom, which is a realization that they will have to face themselves. The best you can hope for is that they do not drive themselves into debt on this path, as that can make it harder to extract themselves from the situation.

That's true, of course with those who are still not old enough, if they make a mistake then it will still be the burden and responsibility of their parents. indeed, if you are still not old enough, whatever problems occur, of course the parents will be responsible for everything, also sometimes when we are adults we still need parents to help with problems that occur, but not entirely by parents because of course when we are adults we are already We must be able to choose which things are good for us and which things are not good for us, and be responsible for everything that happens because it is based on our own actions.
of course with the development of technology this is good but sometimes it also makes things difficult and there are negatives such as online gambling, online gambling has influenced many young people in every country, I am sure every young person in the world must be familiar with online gambling which is currently popular in the media social, therefore it is not surprising that they are familiar with online gambling because they are already used to spending their daily lives using cellphones and the internet.

I tried to search for statistics available online about the number and type of domestic violence cases linked to gambling addiction. All available statistics are about addiction cases in general, which include alcohol and drugs as well. There are no accurate statistics, but at least there is a general consensus on classifying the danger of gambling at the same level as alcohol and drugs. In general, we can enumerate more tragic cases due to gambling than examples of people who were lucky and had their lives change completely, as happens to addicts.

Theoretically, it seems impossible to monitor children's behavior throughout childhood until they reach legal age, but we know that every person is subject to the influences around him. It would be better for that environment to remain free of people addicted to any habit.

Gambling addition we are talking of much development and the interested in gambling and the sometimes what causes such addicted in gambling is when you gamble so much and you are looking for a possible way for you to recover what you have loss in gambling that is what actually push some people into gambling so I believe that gambling have to do it reasoning and understanding when you have not understand the scope of gambling you continue to be losing gambling because when you try to achieve our actualize what we have spent in gambling you continue to lose more that is the system of gambling

In general, we can enumerate more tragic cases due to gambling than examples of people who were lucky and had their lives change completely, as happens to addicts.

Theoretically, it seems impossible to monitor children's behavior throughout childhood until they reach legal age, but we know that every person is subject to the influences around him. It would be better for that environment to remain free of people addicted to any habit.

As a parent and you are really that in concern with your kids situation when it comes to exposure then it would really be just that normal that you would really be having those thoughts that they might really be that
doing something which it is really that correlated to gambling without you knowing and with todays era and techonoligical advancement then it would be so hard to monitor them out completely or 100%.
We do know that this isnt something that we can really be able to make ourselves be confident that we do able to handle them out.

As for addictions then it wouldnt matter if it talks about alcohol,drugs or gambling on which no matter which angle you would really be trying to look at on which
these things is never been that good in the eyes. You are really that putting up yourself on such great risks on which it isnt really that only into yourself but also into those people who are
really that around you. If you are really that mindful about others condition then you wouldnt really be tending to do excessive dealings on what you are currently into.

Yes the one who would be most affected are those who depends on the gambler, if they already have kids the kids would be the one who would feel the consequences of the addicted gambler because of thet would struggle financially.
I agree that parents would surely be affected but not as much as the gamblers kids, sometimes they would even be made fun because of it in short they could also be bullied due to their parents gambling addiction.

Admittedly, the immediate family of the addicted gambler which includes the wife and children, would bear most of the brunt of his addiction.  They’re going to slowly feel the drastic change/decline in their standard of living as the addicted gambler who provides for the family continues to lose more and more money due to gambling.
The immediate family may also be the subject of ridicule as the addicted gambler, being recognized and known by society as an addict would be subject to ridicule and side talks by the town folks.

The indirect victims of an addict would be lengthy as it does affect almost everyone you come in contact with.

Theoretically, it seems impossible to monitor children's behavior throughout childhood until they reach legal age, but we know that every person is subject to the influences around him. It would be better for that environment to remain free of people addicted to any habit.

Still as parents, we have t oget some of those moments that we get to monitor them secretly or publicly.

It's true that the main influence is with whom they are always with. And we have to protect our children from these people who are addicted in gambling because they might also be influenced by them.

Kids are easy to be influenced, having some simple talks and encouragement and they will believe quickly.

[Accardo]

Gambling addiction of a person pretty much affects everyone he has interacted to. It's like a chain or domino effect that can impact one person, family, and even society. It most likely starts with children and family, where children are being neglected and family suffer from stress, instability and financially. Isolation from friends or social circle. Less productivity, absenteeism, or even theft or fraud in workspace. Debt and loans from financial institutions. Increased social problems from community or society like being homeless, poverty, family breakdown, affecting everyone as a whole.

Gambling addition we are talking of much development and the interested in gambling and the sometimes what causes such addicted in gambling is when you gamble so much and you are looking for a possible way for you to recover what you have loss in gambling that is what actually push some people into gambling so I believe that gambling have to do it reasoning and understanding when you have not understand the scope of gambling you continue to be losing gambling because when you try to achieve our actualize what we have spent in gambling you continue to lose more that is the system of gambling

The society puts lots of behavioral change on people as gambling does. Human brain gets emotional to that which bothers it, most people never knew a friend or family got addicted to gambling. But, when things get tough, they'll get sad and emotional then begin to act strange. Hence, the family member suffers much pain in the process. On the other flip, those who are not close friends to the victim can as well get in touch with him and get affected in the sense that he could be influential. Lots of people in the society where gambling thrives, must have involved in some conversation with an addict. Depending on the communication a non-gambler can start out gambling. Then, end up like the addict, who may have told him some wrong gambling moves, and made promises as regards to money.

[teamsherry]

In life anyone that is irresponsible would bring negative effects to the people around him, gamblers alike.

If a gambler is notorious and he eventually owes a debt and his debtors where to come to look for him, he would have no other choice than to bring the problem hole to his family and in a way they have suffers indirectly from his habit. And even worse he ends up impacting such attitude to his children or people around him.

That's why we must have a good self-control so we can always hold ourselves from playing gambling excessively. We don't want experiencing like what other people do because that will gives us regret and we can't imagine how it feels. Yes, it will impact to our emotional feelings and gives stresses to us if we can't hold ourselves from continuing playing gambling.

Addictive behavior must be prevent by learning self-control and practice it so we can have awareness and remembering that playing gambling is just for having fun and not for making money. We already see what happen to many people so we don't want to gets the same experiences like them.

Having good self-control is the most important thing and is the key for a gambler to behave well and of course prevent gamblers from becoming addicted. And with good self-control, we as gamblers will maintain our emotional feelings stable and well, instead of getting easily angry and depressed over the risks we will take and the possibility that he is just gambling for fun, not to seek additional income which is not necessarily profitable for him.

Gambling can completely influence thinking, with the final result or winning causing a feeling of addiction. and this makes us think about gambling again with the same aim of winning. Most gamblers don't care about the losses that occur, even when they lose they don't stop there, they can gamble again because of the thoughts that drive them and want to recover their losses, but thoughts like this tend to trap themselves.
with a feeling of addiction and it affects thinking, and in that way of course they will continue to gamble and find it difficult to stop so that slowly the pressure that occurs gets bigger and if they can't fix it, it's very likely that what you said they will become stressed. I agree with you that having an addiction to gambling can make our lives ruined.

For gamblers who do not have control and a good understanding of gambling, they will be easily influenced by every temptation that attracts their attention and thoughts to continue gambling, especially if they see other people's wins which they think are easy things. for them. he would chase that victory like everyone else would. so he doesn't realize that defeat is actually close to him because he only sees victory and he will play blindly so that defeat occurs and he experiences a very big defeat then regret will come right away and in the end he experiences depression and stress thinking about that matter.

As a parent and you are really that in concern with your kids situation when it comes to exposure then it would really be just that normal that you would really be having those thoughts that they might really be that
doing something which it is really that correlated to gambling without you knowing and with todays era and techonoligical advancement then it would be so hard to monitor them out completely or 100%.
We do know that this isnt something that we can really be able to make ourselves be confident that we do able to handle them out.

As for addictions then it wouldnt matter if it talks about alcohol,drugs or gambling on which no matter which angle you would really be trying to look at on which
these things is never been that good in the eyes. You are really that putting up yourself on such great risks on which it isnt really that only into yourself but also into those people who are
really that around you. If you are really that mindful about others condition then you wouldnt really be tending to do excessive dealings on what you are currently into.

What you say is correct, with today's rapid technological developments we cannot supervise our children's activities completely 100%, because of course as time goes by they will realize that they no longer need attention from their parents. especially when you're an adult, of course it's embarrassing if you're an adult but parents still supervise or pamper their children. But that doesn't mean it's bad, of course children who get attention and love from their parents should be grateful because there are still many young people whose lives don't get enough love from their parents, some even don't get any love from their parents at all.
In my opinion, any addiction is not good, because just the word addiction already indicates that what is becoming a habit is something that is not good, such as gambling and drugs. Of course, being addicted to these two things is not good, including drugs. Addiction to gambling or drugs will only destroy your life, because its bad effects are beyond serious. Many people have their lives ruined because they are addicted to gambling and drugs. There are also many famous artists or people who end up in prison because of drug addiction.

Gambling addiction isn't a solitary vice; it's a monstrous ripple effect that devastates lives far beyond the gambler themself. It's a dark tide that engulfs families, shatters relationships, and throws entire futures into disarray. Imagine a family, a unit built on trust and love. Now, picture that trust eroding as a gambling addiction takes hold. Stolen school fees, replaced by desperate parents, create a suffocating web of lies and secrecy. The emotional toll is immense, the joy of raising a child replaced by constant worry and fear. The tragic suicide of the young student in your example is a stark reminder of the ultimate cost of this addiction.

The financial strain is another insidious tentacle of the problem. Money meant for food, rent, and basic necessities gets devoured by the insatiable maw of the gambling den. This can lead to a domino effect of hardship, straining relationships and pushing families to the brink. In the case of the man who neglected his children, the addiction not only betrays his responsibility as a parent, but also puts the safety of innocent lives at risk. The workplace isn't immune either. Lost productivity due to gambling during work hours can cripple businesses. Costly errors made due to a lack of concentration become a burden for colleagues and employers alike. Even worse, some addicts resort to embezzling company funds, betraying the trust placed in them and jeopardizing the livelihood of others.

[EarnOnVictor]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

It is as simple as saying those that financially dependent on the gambler. The only people that may not depend on the addicted gambler but not happy about their son or daughter addiction are parents.

I prefer ways to avoid the addiction than those that are indirectly affected.

Yes the one who would be most affected are those who depends on the gambler, if they already have kids the kids would be the one who would feel the consequences of the addicted gambler because of thet would struggle financially.
I agree that parents would surely be affected but not as much as the gamblers kids, sometimes they would even be made fun because of it in short they could also be bullied due to their parents gambling addiction.

All of the people around the players - children, parents, spouses, friends - will be affected. It is sure that gambling addiction can affect not only people around the gambler, but also animals. Therefore, it is important not to miss the moment and give a helping hand to your acquaintance or family member who got into trouble with gambling. Any of us may one day overstep the line and become a gambling addict, so help each other in any way you can and the world around you will be a much better place. 

Responsible gambling does not have an alternative, and if we do not adhere to it because of ourselves, we should endeavour to do it because of our family and dependent(s). Gambling can easily carry us away if we are not careful, we can be addicted when we least expect, and if we do not further have self-control, it will lead to more issues that would cause us to lose miserably and uncontrollably. This is irresponsible but the love of our family is enough for us to fight and win against gambling addiction and all the irresponsible behaviour that can result from it. It is either we choose it or those who are dear to us. It would now be so foolish of those who would choose gambling addiction over their family, this would have shown the level of irresponsibility in such a person.

Besides, some would say that it is not their fault but the addiction in them, notwithstanding, I think otherwise, you can fight it if you want, especially if you love those who are suffering due to your ignoble acts. No one is stopping anyone from gambling, but we should rather moderate it and be responsible towards it. If not, we will only be losing money and still making our loved ones suffer. Now think of it, when the gambler loses his money, his life is miserable and also makes his family and other dependents suffer. Who loses? The guy is in fact the most loser in the whole world. So why not moderate things and not mismanage in gambling?

[tygeade]

Gambling addiction is just like every other negative addiction, it affects the addict and the people who are closest to them, gambling addicts are going to lose relationships with those who care about them, their friends and loved ones would want to stay far away from them, because their addiction can bring others down with them, so sometimes it is better to stay away. If you want to help your loved one who is an addict, then it is recommended that you guys seek professional help, they might get better after that and recover relationships they have lost.

I'm never holding back whenever I sense a significant odd, I don't hesitate to play it. We can never be able to ruled out losses from the system, because if we don't lose, how will the system generates their monetary value? We will lose in gambling system because that's how the system is been designated. Gambling addicts are the worst set of gamblers, they will do anything to gamble and they become desperate to make money while forgetting the fact about gambling, its more like a trap. Gambling addicts will continue to suffer because they've dedicated more of their time to gambling and they won't be able to be independent in recording streak winnings.

I do agree that accepting of a loss is a big part of realizing what gambling is all about and realizing you could lose is the best way to not get addicted to it, most addicts always see a light at the end of the tunnel and hope to win something, when you know that you won't and only gambling for fun, then that makes things a lot better.

Why would you gamble if you know you are going to lose money? Well simple really, why are you buying a brand new xbox? You are not making any profit from it, why go to a cinema? You are spending and not making any, why are you buying that new leg set? You are not profiting. All in all, we do these things because we spend money and have fun, some of us gamble the same exact way.

Your second paragraph explains the perspective everyone should have on gambling, is not meant to be seen as a place for any profits. Generally, gambling offers no profit, the house takes up a high percentage of the funds. Hence, gambling should be in the same categories as daily activities which require money to buy or participate. People pay, in stadiums, to watch football, and never worry about getting any funds from the management. It was all for fun purposes. When a gambler begins to envision a better goal of venturing into gambling he wouldn't blame himself over little losses. Paying for a service with lots of money enough to lower our finances, and end up not getting the quality we paid for, is bitter. What qualities does gambling offer aside from money? lots of things can be learned via gambling.

But people think money is an expected gambling quality. Yet they get it wrong. It's like buying a TV and expecting to have conversations with the presenters directly from the TV. Most gamblers think the house cares about the funds they lose while gambling. Hence, they try to get back at the house. Hoping to win big. Not realizing that buying more products with no motive of reselling will only get us broke. Although gambling is a recreational event but can be seen as a transaction between a buyer and seller. The wins we get during gambling are only for the purpose of keeping us entertained. The house offers them to extend the time we play games. In a nutshell, while gambling, paying attention to the amount of money we spend, like we do in the market, will help reduce anxiety and anger.

All in all, we do these things because we spend money and have fun, some of us gamble the same exact way.

True, accepting defeat is the key to staying in a stagnant balance in gambling, because as we know that gambling is always about high-risk activities and can never be separated from the possibility of risk, meaning the possibility of defeat will always lurk you whenever you gamble, while on the other hand most other gamblers as you said that they are too focused on seeing the light at the end of the tunnel that they don't even know about how far the tunnel is to reach the light they see. Having a goal of fun in gambling is one approach that contains responsibility, because of course someone who only considers that gambling is nothing more than a means of entertainment then they will not put too much seriousness and hope in this activity especially in winning so that they do not experience serious mental and psychological problems when they lose because the goal is not to earn but to entertain themselves.

On the other hand I agree with your analogy and it's a good mindset that leads to the suggested approach to gambling as when we do other things, like some of the things you said here that we don't gain from other things we do in life whether it's buying a movie ticket or buying a new Xbox or whatever it is, and we don't lose which means we should think that the money we have lost in gambling is just your way of paying for the game you have played, not a loss.

Since the study classifies the seriousness of gambling addiction at the same level as other types of addiction, such as alcohol or drugs, gambling has a different advantage, which is that it can be practiced in complete privacy. It is enough to have a phone connected to the Internet to play bets, whether you are at school or in the bathroom at home. This specificity is what makes it difficult to follow and direct.

[philipma1957]

Of course, there are many indirect victims of gambling addiction. Can you add more?

Typically only family and friends are the typical affected party of gambling addict since that’s the peer they usually interact. You already covered the most typical indirect victims of gambling addiction.

I have one time a schoolmate that is addicted on computer games gambling(betting on his game). He typically borrows money from me for his bet that he usually forget to pay voluntarily. Our friendship ended when he didn’t pay me when I ask the money and he has the audacity to het angry with me. His gambling addiction destroyed our friendship in school. I believe this is common now since there’s already online gambling but back then this kind of addiction is very rare.

Gamblers steal a lot from their jobs their friends their family and complete strangers when they can get away with it. Or think they can get away from it.

Yeah you are right gambling more those who are chronic gambler has done a lot of harm to the society he can do anything just to satisfy their gambling ambitions they are very ambitious when it comes to the odd they thought that they could win they can steal theft and even go as far as killing just to get money to satisfy their urge of gambling at that time maybe after the lose few of them might regret why other has seen it already as a normal life it is really obvious that addiction to gambling is very difficult and bad habits to deal with even when you want to help yourself you couldn't because you have already gone to a place of no return it will only take thr grace of God to bring yiu back to normal sense

What you say is very true, in particular I have always said that technology can help us as well as harm because those same tools can continue to cause some type of damage, but it is something that we have available, it is already in each person in what way. You have to use these technological tools, before online casinos we had to go to the physical casino to enjoy, after online casinos were created this changed, things are no longer the same as before, so an addict now , he must have a lot of willpower to do things, he simply has to control his strength to play on the phone, PC, tablet, because things depend on himself, he cannot have a police officer or a supervisor who is watching him. does and what it doesn't do, unless you receive specialized help in a clinic or something similar.

I will always keep in mind that if a person is an Addict, we must try to support them in everything we have the ability to do, we cannot give up in the face of any Adversity, and help a person who needs it because we will be giving more hope.

It seems that there are no solutions available other than raising awareness about the growing danger of falling prey to gambling. Family education, in cooperation with the educational institution (school, institute, university), is required to provide psychological briefing and guidance awareness to protect generations from the scourges spread on the Internet everywhere. It is inevitable that awareness will be a shared responsibility, for example with awareness campaigns against the dangers of smoking or alcoholism.

Some parents may believe that their children cannot register on gambling platforms because they are under the legal age, but they certainly do not know anything about decentralized casinos that require nothing more than linking the account to the private wallet, which is decentralized and private. This example emphasizes the need for the educational team to be aware of the extent of development that the technology of the gambling industry has reached.
