Is gambling bad to the society?

[virasog]

of course I'd rather reduce my gambling activities, because I do want to be successful in my career but I never thought I could be successful through gambling, it sounds impossible to me.
gambling is a risky thing and even though there are countries that legalize gambling, they do set strict rules like on the page I found here.

Many online can be deceived by uploading someone else's passport or driver's license for verification. The casino will not strictly check this point. And this is logical, because they only need our money, they do not care who sits in front of the monitor. And many cryptocurrency casinos do not require KYC at all and it turns out that through cryptocurrency, sending and receiving money for a deposit occurs completely anonymously. And at the same time, a minor can do this.

There are gambling sites which will enforce KYC, they have separate sections telling about responsible gambling and they are considered good reputed sites too. Although no gambling site will take responsibility for how much you lose, but it is up to the gambler to come prepared before doing gambling.

Gambling provides entertainment to people and also it gives an opportunity for the people to earn money or to win jackpots and change their fortune but it comes with a price (risk of losing money). You eliminate the bad aspects of gambling and can still enjoy the time doing bets/gamble.

what you said certainly applies to online casinos and I agree with that. apart from uploading someone else's passport or driver's license for verification, I also occasionally hear jokes from friends who like to gamble by saying using someone else's identity to borrow money with the aim of gambling again, in my opinion using someone else's identity for your own wishes is not justified, even if the other person knows and agrees to it but I think it's better not to do it.

and it is true that children who are still minors can do things like this, because in my opinion they are already familiar with cellphones or gadgets that currently many minors are smart in using their cellphones or gadgets.
using someone else's identity without their knowledge is clearly a crime in my opinion, but when they use someone else's account number to gamble and of course it is known by the account owner, whether it is a crime or not, because the account owner also knows and agrees to his account being used for gambling, this happens in my friendship cycle who like to gamble.

There are gambling sites which will enforce KYC, they have separate sections telling about responsible gambling and they are considered good reputed sites too. Although no gambling site will take responsibility for how much you lose, but it is up to the gambler to come prepared before doing gambling.

Gambling provides entertainment to people and also it gives an opportunity for the people to earn money or to win jackpots and change their fortune but it comes with a price (risk of losing money). You eliminate the bad aspects of gambling and can still enjoy the time doing bets/gamble. 

everything really depends on the gambler himself, even if the site provides requirements such as KYC or others but if the gambler himself cannot control himself then what can happen is that they continue to gamble without any reasonable limits, and in my opinion there is no site that will be responsible for the losses that have occurred to the gambler because in my opinion it is beyond their responsibility. they only provide a site to play and the rest of the control in the future is up to the player or gambler himself.

that is the main purpose of gambling, gambling is indeed a suggestion of entertainment where there is a side of profit that can be obtained if you are lucky, but many gamblers misunderstand where they think that they can get profit for sure and this is a problem that often occurs. we must be able to think and realize that there is a clear risk that will definitely happen because that is a provision that has been set by the casino where their goal is to seek profit from the number of players and for players most likely they will only experience losing money.

Yes, because it will certainly be very dangerous, and of course it is a fact that in the end what happens is that they will actually experience a much worse situation. And I also see that it is not uncommon for some gamblers who are now experiencing addiction problems where from the beginning they came because of the intention and hope to improve their financial situation, especially for those who have a middle to lower financial situation but are involved in gambling.
I am not saying that gambling is only for rich people but try to re-evaluate what you are really looking for in gambling, understand how the concept of gambling produces victory, as I said before, namely by making an assessment using a rational mindset so that you can correct the misunderstandings in your mind.

Overall, yes, gambling can indeed be used as a place to relieve stress and boredom when you don't have any activities to do, but never think that gambling can be used as a place to solve financial problems.

One can find a rigged game in gambling. The house always wins; this is not a joke; it is a reality. From the time you enter, the odds are set against you. You are following a dream; they are counting your money

It's arithmetic rather than luck here. The math also indicates you will lose. Desperate, hoping for a quick remedy fuels gambling. When your life seems out of hand, you develop a false sense of control. But actual control comes from wise decisions rather than waste of money

Every wager marks a step back. Wake awake to find the manipulation. Only hard lessons; no simple money exists. Stop the cycle. Change your life, not your Losse

We only become disappointed when we think that we can make more money. The house wins more than us (gamblers). It is too sad, but it is true, and that is the fact that most gamblers hardly accept. This is the fact that we can't argue or twist it because even if we gamble for many years, we surely lose more than the amount and time we win. It only means that, as gamblers, we are destined to lose our money while these casinos are going to be rich.

I believe we should understand how this thing works rather than assume that it would help us improve our lives and gain financial capability because this certainly is not going to happen. 

Gamblers face the greatest danger when they think they will make money by gambling and from here they will make a lot of money. We know that few people have won big from gambling till date, but most people have lost their money. It is true, however, that people who have been gambling for many years have lost more bets than they have won. Yes, if we dream of getting rich by gambling, we can definitely see that there is a loss of money, so we should not have such a dream from gambling. 
Of course we have to be more strict about how gambling works instead of understanding that no one can pay more than that. If we want to improve our lives, we must work hard otherwise we will be nothing but wasting time gambling and losing money by placing bets here and there maybe the future.

And at the same time, a minor can do this.

As the number of users on a casino site increases, so does the amount of profit on that casino site, so no casino site wants their casino to have less users. There are some casinos that even require KYC verification to prove to their users that their casino is very secure, but these are not checked, it's basically just a formality. Some casinos may have KYC system but most casinos do not have KYC verification system ie a user can easily sign up through a gmail and sign up and continue their gambling. But after making sure which casinos are trustworthy then a gambler should gamble in that casino because if we gamble in a wrong casino then it will be seen that the casino is cheating the users but it will definitely create a bad effect on that gambler.

[LUCKMCFLY]

That is why I always advise against gambling to those who have any serious problems in life. Both economic problems and problems with the internal state or personal life. You need to come to gambling in a good mood and with extra money that the gambler can afford. Only then will the experience of playing in an online casino or betting be successful and enjoyable.

I totally agree with you, a person like this cannot and should not be there to be able to move Forward, there are more ways to lift a person's Spirits , because at first the person may like it, but if they start Losing I think their mood can get worse and what could be a solution becomes an even bigger problem , so this is not the Solution , given these things we should always look for a way to Understand that the casino is not good on some Occasions for certain types of people according to their Situation.

[satscraper]

I don't think it's bad for society. Casinos pay taxes that help to further development of those structures you can't go a day without while gamblers free their inner instincts hidden dip inside their body which make them to feel a bit better. They even win sometimes. This is  a win-win situation in my view.

Bad trends for society can occur when they disrupt social maintenance and even cause social degradation. A gambler may find a platform for his own entertainment through gambling but he should also consider social responsibilities such as family maintenance and other social service activities. Although gambling is a win-lose situation, there is a high tendency to lose money, which has a negative impact on society. Gambling has a negative impact on society only when there is a large concentration of addicted gamblers.

[summonerrk]

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

First of all, gambling is dangerous for the gambler himself.
Many gamblers say that they will be able to stop only when they have absolutely nothing left. One gambler went to his grandmother in the village because he lost everything. And even the apartment. Also, his family broke up - his wife left with the child. But what is surprising is that he was then able to set up his business again and become a full member of society. He has not played gambling for a year and a half.

[DaNNy001]

It's like in physics, the energy never disappears it just changes form and it's the same with the money. Whether you spend money in a casino, waste it on netflix subscriptions, get a plastic surgery, or a new car, the money changes hands, moves around.

You could say that casinos are bad, but they pay taxes, they help circulate money, they move wealth from one person to the other.

Do you really believe that the gambling addict who wastes money every single day on a slot machine would spend time with his family if there was no casino? He's doing that to escape the family life, hios job and reality. Many of these people would become drug addicts or alcoholics. That's how I see it.

You can';t make the world better by removing a casino because people will find other ways to gamble.

Basically any kind of business that the government takes tax from is considered to be good to the society, but is gambling really bad to the society?? It depends on the individual, gambling affects people in different ways, some might consider it to be a negative influence
Because they experience a lot of losses, there are those that see it a means to have fun and keep yourself entertained , these Category
Don't think it's bad to the society because it's something that's done for fun

Gambling isnt really that bad to the society, it is really just that basing up into a certain individual on how they would really be making themselves be able to control on the time that they would really be playing gambling. The most common issue on here is about gambling addiction on which we know that this is really that very common considering that people do really end up on getting addicted on the time that they cant really be able to control their urge to play gambling. This is why it would really be that recommended that you should really be having that kind of moderation on the time that you do play gambling. You would really be that potentially be able to get addicted if you would really be having that kind of behavior on playing out gamblign without having that control specially in terms of finances on which this is
really that commonly be affected on the time that you do play. Gambling isnt a problem on the society, the people who do play on it is the main problem specially into the decisions that been made out.

[rodskee]

Risking or losing important relationships, a job, or school or work opportunities because of gambling. Asking others to bail you out of financial trouble cause you have gambled money away.

these are the scenario most addicted gambler is facing butthat will  never happen to you if you are a
self controlled gambler in which very few managed to keep for themselves while in gambling.

So what I'm trying to conclude is that gambling isn't something you should take as a hobby or as a means of earning just to make a living. So what are your thoughts?

not because we should not treat gambling as a means of earning is
that we should add this to a bad in society because there are many gamblers
than knows how to limit themselves so that is far from being bad to the community right?

but you know in some society those people who progress more in business are strong gamblers, so gambling is also helping in other hands. Just as you said their are some gamblers who knows how to limit themselves whenever they notice they're going too far, but their ones that doesn't care if they are doing the wrong thing. What they just want it's for them to get what they want and they won't even care if they're causing more trouble to society. And this are the set that makes people take gambling as something that isn't important to the society. So gambling helps and it's important also.

Sorry but are you sure? that Business owners are strong gamblers? yeah lets say they are but the question is that do  they stay long in the business after becoming a strong gambler?
because from those that I knew is businessmen that becomes gamblers ending losing their business and becomes gambling addict .

It should become his hobby, not his way of taking care of the finances with which he feeds his family, I agree. A place for entertainment rather than seeking large jackpots and profit. That way, there wouldn't be such risks at hand.

Gaming is a society symptom, not only some personal shortcoming. We enjoy the adrenaline, the danger, the dopamine surge. It's primal. Still, blaming the gambler is like accusing the addict without considering the dealer. We have to become real. There is always going to be gambling. So, instead of demonizing it, let's use it. Though it's a tough teacher, it may teach us a lot about ourselves: our greed, our desperation, our hope against all chances

One of the most important is education. Not simply "don't gamble", but "learn the game". Share with others probability, risk, and the house always wins over long run. Provide them tools to control their impulses; do not only criticize them for having them. This is about control rather than about quitting gambling. It's about realizing that life itself is the actual bet. Everybody runs a risk and follows aspirations. Let us ensure we are doing it with our eyes open

At the end of the day gambling is a personal problem.

If a gambler is by themselves in an island with a phone connected to the internet they can also gamble all their money away.

It's not a social problem like, say, bullying, or something else like that.

I am not so sure. After all, no person exists on his own, we all have social connections. And when a person has problems with gambling, they do not only affect him personally. They affect his family and friends, they have impact on his attitude to work, and therefore create problems for his colleagues. So the impact is much stronger and extends far beyond the life of one particular gambler.

[shasan]

There is no reason to say that Gambling is bad for society even it may contribute to being affected nationally. Gambling not only affects the people who are gambling and as it is related to money it affects the members of the family, friends, relatives, and later on the nearest people, and in this way, it affects the whole of society.

The only bad thing on here is on the moment or time that a certain individual would really be doing things like too much engagement on which it would really be that resulting into addiction.

On the moment that this one happens then this is the time where gambling could affect out negatively on someones financial life or status.This is why everything cant really be just
be blamed out on the casinos or generally on gambling because it is really that basing up on someones doing. It is really just that gambling would really be taking up the blame
everytime that we are seeing that someone is really that messed up their life because of it. This is why we shouldnt really be that making conclusions based up on that.

I also agree with you, but one thing too is that someone did not just wake up and start gambling one day; sometimes the environment they find themselves in can also influence their involvement in gambling.
 
If someone starts and grows up where they don't come across any form of gambling activity, there is a great possibility that they might not pick up an interest in gambling in their life. Even if they see such things online, only a few will pick up an interest and decide to try them out.

[l3pox]

Gambling can affect self-esteem, relationship's, physical and mental health,work performance and social life. It can harm not only the person who gambles but also the family, friends, workplaces and communities.

I can boldly say that Gambling can not affect self-esteem, relationship, physical/mental health, work performance and social life with others,  But rather it is gambling addiction that could actually affect a person's self-esteem, relationship, physical/mental health and work performance with others. Hence, by virtue of the question you asked above @ O.P,  i'm sure you are likely to get diverse opinions just like mine, as gambling has done both good and bad to different sets of individuals all around the world, as through a jackpot won from gambling, many families have been able to afford to live the life of their dream, which never would have been possible if not for gambling. Hence, gambling is good, but it's when a gambler gets addicted that is bad.

Gambling cannot affect self-esteem, relationships and mental health Only when it's done moderately, that's fact..an addicted gambler that  is constantly losing his income will always be in depression, this would take a toll on your mental health, and this might affect your relationship with other people..How can gambling addiction affect your self-esteem?? Always throwing your money would make you go everytime, not being able to provide your needs and take responsibly would make you feel less of yourself

well, it can affect it, you mean, it shouldn't, right?
because if you lose a lot of money fast or if you make a lot of money fast this can make you more or less confident (affecting self- esteem), if you're addicted it'll affect your mental health and the time you spend with loved ones

do you get my point?
