Everything could be possible and this is something that you should really be wary about on which on the time that addiction hits then it would possibly make you do things which
you might been not be able to do for the rest of your life and this is something that would really be that normal specially into those people who do have those emotional problems
or having those temper problems because once you do able to encounter such frustration then you might be ending up these impulsive actions which it might cause harm into other people.

I have seen some situations in speaking about shoot out.

when a gambling addict goes home and the first thing they hear is their nagging wife it really will boil the blood of the addict. and when he goes to the table without something to eat, it will turn the addict into a battering husband.

this is the kind of life in which the addict usually ends up either a drug addict or a gambling addict, especially if he doesn't contribute to making the wife's life easy.

If you have a heavy gambling habit, domestic violence and gambling can cause a lot of harm to your family. First of all, intensive gambling destroys trust in the family.  It leads to financial losses in the family and these losses lead to psychological and social problems, such as divorce and domestic violence.

Most importantly, the relationships that are entered into to finance gambling are reflected in the family order and its members. The more you lose at gambling, the more ambitious you become and the more you lose, and this has a very negative impact on peace in the family. I hope you do not have an intense gambling addiction. Because everyone can gamble at their discretion and do it for fun.

Yes. Gambling addiction can for sure spark domestic violence, just like any other addictions.  The anxiety, stress, and money struggles that come with betting addictions can make relationships way more tense.  This can cause gambling addicts to take stuff out on their partner screaming or getting physical.  

Gambling problems also mess with finances, which strains things at home.  Money fights and stress are common, and those Arguments over cash definitely make violence more likely too.

 There's definitely the tendency for gambling addicts to be violent. The feeling of being without a means to play is like they are missing out on their daily fix. It's like one who hasn't eaten, the aggression is bound to be there. They are called gambling addicts for a reason, meaning they cant have a control over it so asking if it could lead to domestic violence, even without proper statistics, we know the answer will be yes.
 True, it is warned that gamblers ought to gamble responsibily but you can agree with me that humans find it difficult to adhere to rules, it just takes one who is disciplined to keep himself in check. Have you not seen that even in cigarette packs that there's a warning for smokers, still they go ahead and do it all the same, so what makes you think they won't do same with gambling?

Addiction, in gambling, can definitely lead to violence especially if it gets out of control.

Naturally, excessive gambling can lead to a serious of problems both financially and physically. The addicted can get stuck in a cycle where they tend to continue gambling in order to recover their losses. Unfortunately, this leads to more things that may further escalate in which violence is always a tendency in this situation.

At the end of the day, gambling is one of those things that can spiral out of control when the person cannot control their urges. This can potentially lead to violence and even death especially if the situation cannot be controlled to a certain degree.

I read somewhere there is a study here in our country where 90% of addiction leads to domestic violence, in a country where there is a poor economy every cent and peso counts, so if money is allocated to gambling instead of buying bills and food on the table, there will be an argument that will lead to domestic violence, the wife cannot just take it and it will lead to separation.
This is why addiction is a big concern of our government because the family is the one that will suffer first if the head or any members of the family are addicted, if you're an average-income earner and you're betting, check and moderate yourself or it will lead to domestic violence that ruin your home.


Agree to this and even worst if the family member resorted to loaning which he/she use their property as collateral for money that spend on gambling. This kind of incident usually resulted to violence due to the losses involved.

People reaction as violence on dire situations is pretty common not only in poor country but also in 1st world country because we are talking about ruining the family finances over gambling addiction. But most of this incident happened on poor country because people here always resort to gambling as shortcut to earn quick rich instead of finding job that have a decent salary.

In my point of view, yes it is possible that addiction can make a person aggressive enough to lead to domestic violence but it is not directly but indirectly. For example, excessive amount of gambling addiction often leads people towards loss, moreover, due to this loss, many gamblers are often in debt, then they are also addicted to various drugs for the depression. Later, it can be seen that they cause domestic violence due to the rate of gambling.
Also I found in a survey that fifty percent of criminals who commit crimes are affected by gambling addiction although I don't remember the source yet. Moreover, in the news of my country, news is coming every day that a gambler killed another gambler due to their problem with gambling money. So considering these aspects, it can be said that gambling addiction does not only lead people towards domestic violence, but also towards bigger crimes.

Gambling addiction can lead to domestic violence and it is one of the causes of divorce, separation, and broken families, the characters of those addicted to gambling are prone to anger and hurting their partners they are hard-headed and easily annoyed especially if they cannot sustain their addiction.
I read a lot of stories about those addicted to gambling blaming their family for their losses and for the money they spend on the family instead of using it to their addiction.
All the addicted gamblers I've encountered are very sensitive, easily get into a fight and they bring their anger from their losses inside their home, gambling addiction if not handled correctly can lead to domestic violence that can lead to separation of the family.
So if you want an intact family don't get addicted to gambling.

Of course, this can happen, when an addict can no longer control himself and has large debts, then he will think about committing criminal acts such as stealing or perhaps committing domestic violence because of the stress of dealing with his own gambling problem.

I once read on a forum about a case of a grandfather who kidnapped his own daughter for money, I forgot where the post was. However, in my area, there are cases of young children who are determined to steal to get money, and there are also those who commit suicide because they are in large amounts of debt due to irresponsible gambling.

I think gambling addiction has often been discussed in forums and the dangers posed by gambling addiction are very dangerous

Addiction can lead to domestic violence. An addicted gambler who looses all his money to gambling, goes home to his wife frustrated and angry, then demands more money but gets refused by wife can become angry and violent, beating up their partner.
An addicted gambler can also transfer the aggression whenever he looses to his wife, children, siblings, pets and even friends on the slightest provocation. It is a case that I have imagined in my head, but it can happen. Domestic violence is an extreme case of what addiction to gambling can also lead to.

Gambling addiction can definitely have negative impacts on relationships, including the potential for domestic violence. No one in any relationship will tolerate his or her partner losing money to gamble constantly without limits, neglecting and jeopardising work and relationship because of gambling, borrowing money and selling of possessions  to finance gambling and lying just to gamble etc.

It important to remember and note that gambling addiction can lead to emotional,financial distress and so many others which can contribute, lead  to conflicts and violence at home or in  relationships.

Indeed, there is some evidence linking gambling addiction to a greater chance of domestic violence, particularly in my nation.
As far as I can observe, gambling addiction can often result in financial difficulties. because when someone loses a sizable sum of money while gambling, it can cause financial stress for both the gambler and their family.
Of course, tensions and conflicts within the family could be increased by this financial burden, which could lead to an increase in domestic violence.
When they become addicted to gambling, some gamblers may lose control over their behavior or lose their ability to manage themselves.
They may also mistreat a family member or spouse because they lose at gambling and demand money from them.  Cry

Definitely. There had been reports of addicted gamblers being violent. But even people who are not gamblers are going to get violent when they find themselves with nothing in their hands. People without money usually are hot-tempered.

In a home where a father has no job but wants to provide for their family can become violent. The reason why some are robbing banks and stealing is because off no money and a gambler without money can be as dangerous as a hungry jackal

I don't think that gambling addiction is going to cause domestic violence. With gambling addiction people are attracted to casinos and their games, they would love to spend a lot of time gambling and make a lot of money. Violence has no real part in that addiction, it's not like gambling addicts love to hurt other people or start to fighting. Also when visiting casinos there will addicts there, but I never saw a fight happening. The number one factor leading to domestic violence in my opinion is alcohol, because it makes people aggressive. Gambling addiction doesn't make people aggressive like alcohol.

Yes.

That's not a new thing and that happens when a gambler is on a losing streak, his mood is bad and his irritated. It makes that gambler wanting to point his anger to someone.

And that's why you typically see some families that has an active gambler and then when he's got no money left because he was on a losing streak. He gets to scold their family members when they're just trying to be nice to him and ask if his okay or not.

No direct correlation given that domestic violence comes with many forms and with many reasons not only with gambling. But if it is general tendency or possibility then ofcourse it has a chance of occurence given that frustration is often linked with gambling due to losses but again, low to no chances in my perspective. I would more believe that gambling has a higher tendency to be relaated with self harm especially with cases of obvious addiction on gamblers' end.
Of course, anything bad can happen to gamblers, because if they are addicted to gambling they will do anything to get money and gamble, domestic violence can also occur for many reasons, such as asking their wife for money but not giving it, selling the contents of the house, even The most terrible thing is stealing, criminal acts like this are what is really feared, the effects of gambling addiction are very dangerous
Good point but in this instance, it is indirect correlation given that violence rooted from the fact that he needs money and not with the activity alone. One of the dangers however dependent with the gambler and not representative to all players, actually likewise with addiction itself.

Best thing is to limit oneself if you know to yourself that you cannot handle the downside of gambling. It involves money which is for sure something which gives weight to every outcome especially negative consequences of betting.

Of a truth I have witnessed cases of this nature where a man would want to sell  his property and his wife would refuse him from selling it because she knows he would use the money to gamble. It is unfortunate that such can happen and when such happens and the man meets resistance from his wife the next thing is that they both fight over it or he beats her up for the reasons of she obstructing or refusing him from selling the property.

In some cases, when the man returns home with anger to have lose funds in the cause of gambling, and his wife starts nagging around he transfers the anger and annoyance of losing the game and funds on her and sometimes display his rascality at home making his family become scared of him.

Addiction to anything could lead to several abnormal behaviours. Research shows a relationship between some forms of addiction to domestic violence. Regarding gambling addiction violence might happen in the home as gamblers might transfer the pain of losses they experience to their partners. When a gambler loses more than he can afford to endure, he might end up becoming angry or aggressive and a little offence at home could make him attack his partner.

There was a case in my area where are man beat up his wife constantly because he claimed that she was responsible for his losses. He said before he got married to her, he was always wining his bets but his luck ceased immediately when he got married to her. He claimed that she came to him with bad luck. But everyone knows that he was just using her as an excuse to cover up for his uncontrollable gambling life.
