Is gambling bad to the society?

[bubilas]

This is true because for some this may be their only social interaction due to health problems. The community of players can become friends who will help with advice and support in difficult situations. I myself am a member of some communities of interest and I know how important it is for support and development in a certain area. Naturally, there are players who will lose a lot of their money, I myself was like that when I started playing gambling games, but we need to gradually improve our skills and improve our knowledge all the time, then we can learn to limit our losses and the game will no longer become very bad for us. In addition to losses, you need to be able to find positive sides yourself.

Therefore, I believe that it would be correct if the casino provided the player with a test before allowing the gambler to gamble. This should be a simple test, where the casino will warn you that you need to understand that gambling for money is very dangerous and you should always maintain self-control.  
And there should also be several examples of those players who could not cope with self-control.

From this topic we get that gambling isnt bad for society, only individuals get serious problems with it, only some get really addicted. Turns out that is actually gives benefits for society in form of taxes and variety of entertainment. And somehow people consider it is as bad, something to be ashamed of, and to avoid people who gamble. Dont you find it strange?

The fact that gambling brings benefits in the form of taxes and a variety of entertainment are just some positive factors, but if you look at all this from above, then these are small advantages, while many develop a severe addiction that they have to fight, possibly for the rest of their lives. because it might come back again. Therefore, if we talk about society in general and whether it is good or bad, then I will not find a definite answer. Perhaps if you imagine the balance, the bad ones may outweigh, but not by a large number.

Again addiction. Here, I have been trying to get other reason why gambling is bad for years already. Despite addiction, people cant name anything.  But to become addicted to gambling, gambler must put large effort. I dont know how to prove it, and if there is a real proof, but not every gambler is addicted. That is why I dont see addiction as a serious reason why gambling is bad. It is like Coca Cola from the world of beverages. Everyone knows its has a lot of sugar, science proved that people get fat from it, yet people still drink it and find it ok. Nobody claim that Cola is bad for society.

In my opinion, neither alcohol nor gambling is harmful to society because the harm is caused by individuals who abuse alcohol, gambling or other recreational activities. Instead of banning gambling, alcohol and everything that can lead to problems when abused, we need to devote more time and resources to informing uneducated people about the harms of alcohol, the risks of gambling and teaching financial literacy, because the more educated a person is, the less likely he or she will bring harm to society.   

About the harms of abuse. Yes, I totally agree with that. Gambling is good for society overall, let's not forget that. If gambling will be banned, millions of people that are accustomed to relaxing with gambling will be trying to find other ways of relaxation, and some of those way can very dangerous.

As we all realize, it is impossible to ban gambling when any schoolchild knows how to use tools to bypass Internet blocking. And as I have already said many times, if the authorities completely ban something, this sphere simply goes into the shadows and is controlled by organized crime. The authorities understand that in this case they will lose part of the taxes, which will be used to strengthen organized crime. That is why many states do not introduce a complete ban on gambling, although they do not support this sphere of entertainment. It is better to sell licenses and receive taxes than to allocate funds and hire people to control the same sphere.

There can never be a perfect template to this issue of gambling because not all addicted gambler started off an addict, some of them were really good gamblers who later got addicted when they their appetite got increased that they want to jus be at the top of the game, they started craving much more than they had always gotten and when they were no longer able to put that under control, they got addicted.

Some persons did started off nicely, so its very possible some may get to pass any of those test if such is been implemented and in the long run they get to become relay terrible at it and then become bad gamblers so i think what will be better is a rule that helps gamblers keep them in check such that they always have not to be in the position where they gamble with their emotions rightly and when they are sensed to be doing other wise, an automatic restriction is been triggered.

I don't agree with that, what I mean is that I doubt there would be a casino like that. I don't think casinos will give directions or warnings about gambling addiction, they just want to welcome the arrival of customers who want to gamble by welcoming them in a friendly manner to make them comfortable, after all, before they gamble, I think they already understand that gambling involves money or assets. others will lose or increase, it is impossible for them to want to gamble but don't know that gambling involves money. For example, if they want to gamble and come to a casino and the casino staff tells them that gambling with money or for money is dangerous, I think this will only result in lost customers and no profit for them.

with the many cases that have occurred and even the news that has spread, I think it is impossible for you yourself to have never seen news about cases of the bad effects of excessive gambling, perhaps outside of the news you have seen quite a few cases of gambling addiction that have destroyed someone's life. I think that there are already plenty of examples of players who can't control themselves well, what we need to look for more are examples of people who can control themselves well so that we can make people aware of the many people who gamble excessively.

Very often people have a bias towards that what is bad or wrong about something, in this case gambling attracts a lot of attention due to those that get addicted, but addicted gamblers are only a very small proportion of all the gamblers that exist, and when we take into accounts all the benefits it provides, like taxes, jobs and entertainment, then it is a huge mistake to even think about banning it, as it is not as if by doing this addicted gamblers will disappear.

The thing is that there are habit and actions are more visible than your normal regular gambler so the society takes note and hold that part account for gambling on a larger view. Gambling has so many positives but these actions of gambling addict have completely overshadowed the good that people might see out of gambling but some persons are all on that conclusion because of religious clause too.

A person who is addicted to gambling will not show his addiction to the outside community, but of course other people will find out for themselves whether it is from news circulating by word of mouth or indeed by seeing behavior that tends to change, those who are addicted to gambling will usually be more often spends more money than usual and of course this will attract the attention of other people, because when he gambles there are usually transactions with each other. and of course it is the fault of each individual, gambling is not completely bad but the many eyes that see and judge gambling are bad because they see many people who are addicted and experiencing the bad effects of gambling addiction.
Even though they are addicted, they will feel like there is no problem, as if everything is fine, even though in fact they are experiencing financial problems caused by gambling which has made them addicted, but this is also based on the individual's own behavior and mistakes. So even though they already know the risks, they still continue to gamble because maybe it's the desire to win that continues to drive them.
