Serious harms of online gambling addiction

[YOSHIE]

Look at how people's lives are being destroyed by online gambling, can he recover?

Basically, gambling or betting, all the activities we do of course involve money, when money has become king and we have become slaves, that's when destruction slowly comes to reside in our bodies, so that when we are no longer in control we think that gambling is the way to success, without realizing that we have actually entered the hallucination of a serious gambling addiction.

Actually, gambling is a choice, addiction is a habit, when we are controlled in our activities, we are always aware that we will not fall apart because of wealth, All money is spent on gambling activities, so our awareness of gambling can protect us from gambling addiction which destroys us.

A person who gambles secretly and does not know about his gambling addiction even to his friends or family members is very dangerous. Usually such a person who protects his privacy suddenly gets into so much debt but no one in his family knows about it. Even his neighbors know that he is a good boy. Good boys never take loans and participate in gambling, rather he always stays away from all kinds of bad addictions and is always seriously busy with his career. However, this boy is a good boy, calm and polite boy in the eyes of the society but secretly he has become severely addicted to gambling and has taken loans from several sources or taken money at high interest and has finally fallen into a debt-ridden and distressed situation and has lost all the ways to recover from this situation. Now he has almost gone mad due to mental stress.

Now the end result of this person is the destruction of his career, so if a person is secretly gambling, it is definitely best to stay away from the signs of addiction. Look at how people's lives are being destroyed by online gambling, can he recover?

This is where having an accountability person in whatever you are doing comes into play. As much keeping things to yourself can be good sometimes, allowing some persons in your space so they get to know what is going on with you and give you advice is equally not bad. if an introvert gets involved in online gambling and get addicted to it, it takes the grace of God for such a person to come out clean before getting addicted first.

No one is not capable of becoming an addict regardless the kind of moral upbringing or the status that the person holds in the society. both the matured, immature, exposed and ill exposed people need to be taught to know that gambling is not the only means to a financial end and so, while going about it, clear caution should be taken such that addiction does not become the end they always find themselves at. the most vulnerable to gambling addiction are those that believe that they can keep things to themselves and face the fight on their own. if you are gambling in an uncontrollable way, speak up and if possible slow down or cut off from consistent gambling.

Ignorance can't be the reason here. A lot of people who are addicted to gambling is probably aware of the risks and even know the principles of responsible gambling. However, they keep struggling to stop. Why? Because addiction can sometimes the result of experiencing stress, depression, anxiety, trauma and even have the feeling of the urge to recover their previous losses.

It's not because they end up being addicted to gambling doesn't mean they do not know the right thing to do. It's the same concept with knowing a certain rule doesn't always mean that person is able to follow them consistently. The same result when we see people who claims to know and understand bankroll management, they set the limits, but they still end up chasing losses.

Well, you are right but I still insist that anyone who gambles is not forced to do so. They are aware of the potential risks involved but still allows their emotions to cloud their judgement because if they choose to follow or abide by the rules, there is no how they won't have the ability to control their emotions while gambling. Although, people make mistakes as they can't always control their emotions all the time but strict discipline and self- awareness keep the fun intact.

I don't know why many are finding it difficult to be a responsible gambler, it is clearly showing that anything will fail to do in the right way will definitely Hunt after us later in life, gambling was intended to make us have fun, but I will behavior towards it will choose on whether to achieve this same goal or to be affected negatively from gambling, responsible gambling is not difficult to achieve once we can maintain high discipline for ourselves, this is all about being able to have emotional control and also set some realistic target towards how we are going to gamble responsibly.

Reason why i don't discriminate any gamblers that are addicted to gambling is because i have come across some gamblers back then when i do place my games betting on shop, i do have interactions with so many gamblers and i noticed that so of them have try so hard in applying for jobs opportunities yet they were not opportunity to ascertain a reasonable job in the country without having a connection, so frustration can make one be come so addicted to gambling because gambling is only means of survival, so i believe that once give any addicted gamblers to explain why he got to level of addiction in first place, i know everyone of them has a story to tell about his addiction.

There was a decent boy in our small area, he was studying, no one knows how he got addicted to online games. He continued like this for a long time and he also played gambling, later he borrowed money from many people's jobs and used it to gamble. After going on like this for a long time, suddenly that person became so addicted that his memory became weak, as a result, many creditors are coming and gathering.
He has become heavily indebted and has also borrowed money from many places depending on interest. Finally, after he became heavily indebted, he almost went crazy, so I say how harmful online gambling is, it has happened secretly, not many people outside know. So people thought he was a decent boy, under the guise of being decent, he got addicted to online gambling and pushed his life towards destruction.

Now the end result of this person is the destruction of his career, so if a person is secretly gambling, it is definitely best to stay away from the signs of addiction. Look at how people's lives are being destroyed by online gambling, can he recover?

That's mostly because of a lack of supervision, I would say, and I wouldn't just blame the boy but also his guardian(s) who failed at keeping him into healthy activities and keeping an eye on what he was doing all the time. When parents or guardians stop paying attention to their children and their activities, this is what they get as a result. A child or a young boy doesn't understand the negative consequences of the actions he is committing, but elders would know, but since they didn't supervise him properly, he fell into this trap and went deeper and deeper over time.

This is why it's important for parents and guardians to always keep an eye on their children so that they don't get involved in things such as gambling, drugs, thievery or any other activity that is bad and even if it's not bad in general, it might have a bad effect on him based on his age. Gambling is blamed for ruining people's lives, but in reality, it's people themselves who don't have self-control, otherwise, gambling could also be just a fun activity.

There is harm in addiction and this is a serious one, don't bring such into gambling because it will complicate issues for you and distract you from focusing on having fun, gambling should be entertaining to us and we should not afford to be indiscipline while we Gamble, anything that has to do with moral behavior must be taken into concentration and everyone should know the limit to what they should do and what they shouldn't.

First of all, an addicted gambler never has the necessary knowledge. Through which you can control yourself smoothly.  If gamblers find it entertaining then don't spend too much gambling money. Because there are many other ways to be entertained. People in low-income countries are particularly prone to gambling. Because being financially weak, it seems like an easy way to earn money. And they spend the most money, which can be lived very easily. At the end of the day, their actions become addictive.

Gambling starts for entertainment, but it goes beyond entertainment, and this is especially true for those who are low-income people, who mainly want to improve their financial situation through gambling, and because of this expectation, gambling moves away from entertainment and goes into the expectation of making money in their field. But such gamblers can never achieve anything they expect from gambling, rather in the long run they end up in more financial losses, and this is how it basically makes them addicted. And because of this kind of situation, they end up in big losses, used the amount of money they lost  in gambling in total, if they had use it for good work, then they would have a good financial foundation now, but after this loss they have nothing left to do.

Seeing student studying and looking innocent or secretly gambling online to the extend of borrowing that huge amount of money, i will say it is out of self discipline because the art of being crazy all in the name of addiction in gambling, is something that gamblers should prevent from the moment the primary stages and just consider gambling as funs, not a means of being rich and if on the process of gambling you are able to hit a huge amount of money, it is very understandable than placing all sources in gambling, it is believe that an addicted gambler can do anything just gamble consistently, i love as OP was able to drop such a interesting story for we to take precautions as a gambler.

When students are minors, the responsibility falls exclusively on their parents because they depend on them. Everything changes when they are university students and of legal age, they shouldn't feel any remorse, because they know perfectly well what they are doing, When I was a student, it was like that in fact, I only knew about casinos thanks to those classmates who went there.

The difference was that they gambled huge amounts of money; I didn't have that kind of ability. They lost and they didn't care because they had jobs. I couldn't work because of the number of classes I had.

Addiction is not a respecter of anyone. No matter how decent you look or try to hide your gambling activity, if you gamble in the wrong way, you will end up getting addicted. Pretending to be a responsible gambler won't help anyone from becoming addicted to gambling. Gambling addiction is not about how you gamble, whether openly or secretly; when you abuse gambling, there are always consequences for how you go about it. People tend to gamble secretly, and it is even worse when they become addicted because they will choose to go through their struggles in secret, not allowing anyone to know about their condition.

[Dunamisx]

This is something that can be seen around students alot, it's bad enough that they gamble as when they are are not necessarily earning but they sometimes end up using the money meant for their tuition to gamble with the hope of doubling the money, pay for tuition and then using the winning to live life the way they want, most of them have had to leave school because they ended up using everything to gamble, to be able to gamble without losing one's self to it you need to be mature to a certain extent.

Some student quite gambles but not all of them are addicted ones, so I'm doing today tuition fund into gambling while some do to because of wrong mentality all the cohorts of Friends the are moving around with who are addicted gamblers.

We have to understand that young adults are more prone to do things much more better and at the same time decided to abuse the procedures because of their intentions, gambling for student is not what should become unto the extent because it may be another means of distraction to them.

But you forgetting that there are gambling addicts who were gambling to make quick returns but just for fun and entertainment, and this has being the regular advise on how we should see gambling as. But still, there people who falls into addiction by gambling for fun only.

When I say they’re doing it the wrong way, I’m not only talking about gambling to make quick profits or become rich via gambling alone, sure these are the major causes, but what I’m really trying to say is having the wrong mindset about gambling. Wanting to make money from gambling isn’t actually a wrong mindset, but how you choose to go about it might be, by that I mean the approach. There are people who are gambling to make money but are still able to observe the basic rules of gambling, they know when to stop and when to continue and they’re safe. So people can still be gambling for fun just as you said but not obeying the basic rules of gambling isn’t actually, surely they’ll most certainly get into gambling troubles for sure.

In as much as I would like to agree with you when you Said that all Gamblers are aware of the potential risk, i would like to tell you that there are many gamblers who are not aware of the potential risk involved. Many people joined gambling due to FOMO (fear of missing out), probably because they saw a lot of people making profit from gambling, and then they  decided to join so as they will be one among those who are making profit from gambling forgetting that there is risk involved, That is why many gamblers are getting addicted to gamble. so before a person should think about gambling they need to understand the danger in gambling so that you will know the steps to take to avoid being a victim to all this gambling problems.

They are aware of the potential risks involved but still allows their emotions to cloud their judgment because if they choose to follow or abide by the rules, there is no how they won't have the ability to control their emotions while gambling.

Initially, a person gambles on their own volition, there is no doubt about it. But when addiction develops over a long period of time, the saying just follow the rules does not work in all cases. Because then the addiction affects the ability to make decisions, and behaviors such as loss chasing can occur.

Although, people make mistakes as they can't always control their emotions all the time but strict discipline and self-awareness keep the fun intact.

However, I think those who gamble for entertainment usually set limits in advance and do not cross them. The problem begins when the thought of getting back the money they lost takes over the entertainment.

What he says is very true. On TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, they talk a lot about gaming and make it seem like a very easy way to make money. If there's someone out there desperately looking for a job and can't find one, and they see that as easy, they won't hesitate. But on social media, they don't talk about the risks involved, much less that you have to control your money when you play. They just think it's like something magical and that if we don't do it, then we're missing out on something.

Addiction is not a respecter of anyone. No matter how decent you look or try to hide your gambling activity, if you gamble in the wrong way, you will end up getting addicted.

Gamblers doesn't been addicted in gambling knowingly to them...They most be one thing to the other that triggers someone to be addicted in gambling..

1. Greedy: greediness is one of the known elements that makes a gambler to be addicted, once you're gambling with what is bigger than your budget, its obvious that you will get addicted

2. Consistent gambling and high expectations of winning: Even though you gamble in secrets, provided that you're a Consistent gambler that is pursuing losses, you will get addicted unknowingly to you...

Pretending to be a responsible gambler won't help anyone from becoming addicted to gambling.

They're many who's into gambling and they're not addicted, due to they're a responsible gambler...To become responsible in gambling, it's when you have a limit and you doesn't gamble above it...So they're people who follow the rules they set for themselves to gamble, so that they will not gamble out of their budgets..if they follow their rules, that means they're responsible gambler and they're not pretending...

From my point of view, facing financial losses while gambling or gradually becoming addicted to gambling is completely due to the gambler's own mistakes, it is not right to blame anyone else for this. Whether we gamble online or offline, self-control depends entirely on the gambling activity or one's own mentality. When a gambler wins big money and without taking a break, he continues to gamble aggressively in the hope of winning more money, as a result, the gambler loses self-control and faces big losses.

Most gamblers gamble aggressively by winning or losing money and this is where the destruction begins, so it is not right to gamble aggressively to get back the money lost through gambling. If we want to make money by gambling and want to be saved from the destruction of gambling, then we should withdraw most of the money by winning money and accept that it keeps us calm when we face losses and gamble with the money we can afford to lose over time, thereby saving ourselves from gambling addiction.

On social media, we can only hear positive things about gambling, nothing is said about the possibility of losing in gambling. On social media, gambling is presented in such a tempting way as a sure win, the easiest and fastest way to success, where you will actually succeed. And once the gambler enters there, from that moment on, they start getting involved in gambling, and even if the gambler loses there, they do not find any way out of gambling, but rather they get more and more deeply involved. That is why people should first believe this simple thing that what is shown on social media is never true and should avoid believing them. It is necessary to act realistically if you want safety.

Gambling can be distructive, and is not a reliable way of making money. Many see gambling as a quick way of making money, and therefore channel all their energy there thinking they can make money from it. When you allow yourself to get addicted to gambling, recovery can be very difficult, though one can still recover from addiction, but it takes longer time, and good effort from people around the addicted one for the person to survive.
When someone is addicted to gambling, making good use of your money will be so difficult, rather you will use most part of your money for gambling, and even money that is meant for more useful things will also be used to gamble.
Addicted gamblers cannot save money, all they think is about gambling, and even when there is no money for them, they get themselves indepted just to gamble.

[danadc]

First what people needs to stay away from is addiction and not signs of addiction. With what I have seen so far in gambling anyone who is addicted is actually what they used their hands and invite and they should be accountable for it and  i also see and consider anyone addicted as reckless and careless person and it is true because if it's not... Everyone would have become an addict but the reason everyone is not addicted is because not all gamblers are reckless and careless and that your guy, i think he can recover because as long as there is life there is hope.

Yes, everyone at some point has their money and gambling habits out of control, but when reason and logic take over, we ask ourselves if what we're doing is right and if we continue down this path, where will we end up? When that happens, we must reflect and say no more. We need to be much fairer in our actions, and when we go too far, we will face our punishment. And our punishment is a lack of money because we spent it, and the problems that this entails, which ultimately leads to addiction.

That is the reason why I don't agree with whatever information that is coming from social media, even though surely I would agree with it due to the source it came from but first thing first is to make my own personal research to know if truly what they are saying its true. I don't jump into conclusion until I get a solid proof or evidence about that particular thing.

But funny enough that some people doesn't know that most of the information gotten from social media, tiktok, facebook, X, and other related social media platforms, some are fake while some might be true. Gambling is not magical even though some people are making it look like something that is very simple but definitely is not that simple as we thought.
