Serious harms of online gambling addiction

[ndutndut]

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?

Gambling addiction doesn't discriminate anyone can be affected, whether they're good looking or intelligent or trying to hide their gambling. What usually leads to addiction is poor gambling habits such as losing control, chasing previous losses, prioritizing gambling over obligations and continuing despite the potential for harm. However, when someone keeps their gambling a secret it usually worsens the situation by isolating them delaying help and allowing the problem to deepen as in the case of the boy you mentioned.

So, online gambling addiction is a serious problem and it can even lead to significant behavioral disruption. There have been numerous cases of gambling impact, and many more extreme cases involve more than just debt and criminal activity as addiction can impair their ability to think clearly. So, the best advice for the boy you mentioned above is to admit his mistakes early on and seek help such as support from family or friends as soon as possible. So, don't ever think about struggling alone in overcoming this problem.

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.

There have been so many cases of addicted gamblers striving to leave addiction but due to their indiscipline, they have been working to end their addiction without any solution. Gambling should be moderate or done seldomly to avoid any addiction character than can make us gambler when we supposed to focus on our physical jobs that supposed to earn us money.
The best way to gamble is to bet less often and avoid any friends that will make you to want to be gambling everytime.
Addiction is real and we have to work on ourselves so we don't continue to be losing money quickly hoping to win big soon.

It is not easy to fight against yourself, it is a very difficult battle since the enemy is as strong as us and knows our weaknesses.
In my opinion this makes addiction one of the most treacherous challenges of all, and also the most difficult of all.
Staying disciplined helps.

They do not intend to seriously stop because of discipline problems, especially when we have decided that we should be able to manage it ourselves, but when the word today to stop but not done tomorrow it indicates that the mentality in the intention to stop is not fully there so they are not able to do that.

Many people always say that there must be encouragement from the closest person or even have to be with the help of a more understanding person such as a psychologist or psychiatrist but basically I think everything has to start from ourselves.
Even if there is help from others it is just a form of support because everything comes back to ourselves if we really want to stop gambling but we are the ones who still have half-hearted intentions here.

So for addicts who want to quit should change their way of thinking because stopping gambling for a while is easy but forgetting gambling especially when it is in opium is obviously very difficult.

Actually in this case I have seen very less success rate but yes I would say absolutely that I have not seen success it is not like that. But if I tell something from real story here then my father had a cousin who was a very good student and at that time he was famous for his beautiful handwriting in the area. But he got trapped in the trap of gambling addiction, he even sold the land and started gambling, and at one stage he took loans from people and then gambled, but things got lost in gambling and now he has disappeared.

But the interesting thing here is that he didn't gamble online, he ruined his own career by gambling physically. Even his family, wife and children are going through a lot of trouble now.  I don't want to disappoint you here, but he came to his village in the middle, but later committed the exact same act again and fled. But if we talk about the present time, one of my friends was addicted to online gambling and at one point started taking drugs, later his family sent them to a rehab center. After staying there for a few months, he is currently staying at home after receiving treatment, and his situation is better than before. So it is not completely hopeless, but it is possible to come back from such a bad situation.

It may be difficult to fight something as strong as behavioral addiction, (gambling addiction) but it is not impossible, there have been gamblers who have been able to regain control over their life and recover from it completely, the majority of them choose not to partake in gambling again, just in case.

In my opinion, the most important thing when comes to overcoming gambling addiction is having a solid safeguard of people who really care about us and are willing to offer us a helping hand when we are in need.

In the majority of the cases, gambling addicts reach a very low point in life because they have chosen not to talk about their problems with anyone.

In this situation, who are you blaming exactly? Online gambling or the guy who has secretly been gambling without attracting the attention of others? Because from the story and title it appears as if more fingers are pointed at the online casino than at the gambler himself. Gambling is a game where if your mind is not prepared enough to accept what it gives you, you don’t have to be gambling in the first place.

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.

I have a friend whose story is almost the same. In the eyes of his family and friends, he’s known as a kind, friendly person who never causes trouble for his friends. I'm not very close to him, so i had absolutely no idea that he was already secretly in the gambling addiction phase.. To this day, i still don’t know how it all started, but from what i’ve heard, he ran out of savings and began borrowing from loan sharks just to keep gambling. The cycle kept repeating, borrowing, paying off the debt, and then borrowing again to gamble. What’s even crazier is that his family had absolutely no idea about his situation. When i asked why he didn’t tell them, in case they could help pay off loans he might no longer be able to repay, he replied that he didn’t want to disappoint his family.

[Cantsay]

A young boy that suppose to be facing his studies, I wonder who advice him to gamble from the first place. Gambling can affect an individual's mental stability..

With the way gambling platforms ads are being made today, I don’t think they really need anyone to advise him to gamble before he’d do it.

Today, the ads are being focused on pushing the idea that a lot of money could be made from gambling, and when I mean a lot I mean ads that shows someone gambling with just a few bucks and then gets to withdraw hundreds of dollars and then advertises the platform like it’s a play that guarantees the wins shown before they were captured.

All the blames goes to the guy who has secretly been gambling without letting anyone know about his gambling activity, this is why I frequently suggest that a gambler need to have someone who would keep a close eye on them because some gamblers  may not know when the signs of addiction is coming,  they might feel it's just an ordinary feeling but they are literally getting addicted to gamble. And Sure we are meant to learn from other people's experience we shouldn't wait until it happens to us before we learn, many people are aware of the danger and / or the damage that gambling has caused in the life of most people yet they can't learn from there, instead they feel that it can never happen to them without knowing that it takes enough discipline before they can escape addiction.

[Achalugo BTC]

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.

Are you really sure that some people gamble due to FOMO? Well, from my perspective, I don't agree because no one is a child, even if they don't do research about gambling, but I'm sure they must have heard about the risks of gambling unless the person has never been interested in it.  However, regardless of the reason, it's important one gambles only the amount they can afford to lose, as that way will help them to avoid getting addicted.

[alastantiger]

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.

The addiction comes easily when it involves an online casino than when it involves a traditional casino because online casino that you know are very easy to access, being addicted is something many people try to ignore but they can't ignore it forever because it catches up to them and by that time they must have already lost a lot of money. Addicted gamblers fails to tell themselves the truth and that is the reason behind them continuing to have this problem of addiction. Online casinos are known to be the cause of most recent gambling addiction because it has become more easy to gamble through the internet.

[Berry2d]

The easiest way to become addicted to gambling is by the introduction of online gambling. Gambling addiction is a very serious problem affecting almost all gamblers today, at times an offline gamblers may be disturbed by some physical challenges and may stop but as for online addiction it is very difficult to be controlled expect there is know device availability for that gambling program. 
Be it online and offline addiction both are same and most be controlled and reduced as that is the highest problem of all gamlers and to do this serious precautions must be taken to ensure result is achieved on it

For the boy to recover after he has gone crazy due to gambling debt would depend on how the boy's parents try to take their son to a rehab centre for gambling addiction to be flushed out of the boy's system.

After that, the boy's parents will think about what to do next, because they can't let their son keep getting crazy, even though he has a bright future ahead of him.

I feel the mistake has been made on the boy's side, and this serves as an eye-opener that gambling addiction can happen to anyone; it doesn't matter if the person is very young or decent. Gambling addiction can hit them without warning if they didn't gamble responsibly

the gambler is the one that deserves the blame, because nobody forced him to gamble. The decision to gamble, he made it by himself. The boy too knows that what he is just deceiving himself that is why he didn't want people around to know what he was fdoing. We tooshould not ignore that online casino didn't have a hand in the boy addiction. Because if you look at it, with online casino it is possible for millions of person around the world to access it.They don't need to have a middle man or special requirements. And because of this it is easy for person to gamble anytime and anywhere in the world without drawing much attention

Even with all this, the boy is still responsible because nobody forced him. He made his choice by himself. He is not the only one that has access to online gambling, Everyone do but some people still gamble without being reckless, they maintain discipline and control

At least you and the two others who quoted me above understood the point I was making, because we first need to clear the room about who is to blame here. As the gambler in question is a grown-up adult, according to how the OP described him, he should know what’s best for him and what’s not, and when things like that happen, blame should not be shifted.

Even if there are people close to him who know about his activities, they can’t force him to stop; only he will have to decide. The only advantage is that he will have people who are trying to advise him and pull him out of the addiction.

That story is hard to hear. A young dude with a bright future and gambling slowly pulled him down. It did not happen overnight!! it gradually creep in little by little. That is the dangerous part. The shame that comes with it makes everything worse. You suffer in silence and by the time the truth comes out, the damage has already been done, having debts, stress, broken relationships and a future that looks uncertain. Losing money is not even the major issue, it is about losing yourself in the process. Recovery is possible, but it will surely take some time and real support from close ones.

For sure, and for the fact that I said some gamblers need someone who would keep a close eye on them doesn't mean they would stop them from gambling Nah. Their duty is just to give them constant advice, they need someone who would continue to remind them the danger or the consequences of not gambling responsibly, because it seems that many gamblers easily forget themselves so this set of people need someone to be by Thier side. I know we are all adults we know what is right and wrong but that doesn't mean we can't make mistake, of course no one is above mistake that is why sometimes we don't need to do it all alone, we should try to involve someone even if it's someone close to us like wife or parents.

I think that he and anyone for that matter can recover so long as they are diligent to stop gambling and work really really hard to change their ways. If they dont they only futher risk themselves to some serious issues long term that could even lead to their demise.
