I say yes.
Even if you are not a gambling addict yet, just losing a ton of money can lead to domestic violence. There are a lot of angry people in gamble and it's because their emotions are being affected by the results of their gambling. A winner can be the smiling type and he can be generous at giving money because of the joy after a win. A loser will probably be stressed all day and when someone talks to them, they will get angry. They are easily irritated and I think that's already domestic violence if it's done on his/her partner.

To be honest, I felt that too, and sometimes I got to yell with my kids but then I would tell myself that I was wrong and I would be sorry for how I behaved. But when I win, I am truly different, filled with joy.
Not just gambling addicts can do these things, even those who are first-timers, or just gamble occasionally can do such things especially if the money used was supposed to be a payment for an important matter. Stress always leads to something bad and we must control it or else we might do things that we will regret in the future.

It's not only limited to domestic violence, but it can happen to everything.

The addict will use all of his money, if he don't have any money left, he will try to other ways:
1. Take a loan from online lending apps.
2. Ask money to his friends, parents or relatives.
3. Steal a valuable stuff.
4. Rob someone else house.

If he didn't get what he want, he will hurt or torture the person until he gives the money.

However, I'm wondering if addiction can make someone become aggressive to the point of leading to domestic violence. Has there been any known case of it happening? Lets know what you have to say.

I am not aware of such cases. But it's very much possible. I have heard that people could be addicted to gambling and they could do anything to manage their gambling money including killing people for money. Gambling addiction and Drug addiction are similar types of addictions. The addicted people turn into a person without a brain. It's like they could do anything to manage the fund.

I know some underage kids know has been growing in front of my eyes. They dropped from the school and started working at very young age and they spend all their earnings on gambling. The fact is, they do not care about it. They just earn, gamble and repeat it over and over. They laugh about it.

I cannot cite a specific case, but I'm certain it will. One possible effect of addiction is that the victim is irritable. The victim easily gets angry. If this is the case, domestic violence is a tendency.

An addict might be in a good mood if he/she comes home winning. But what if he/she comes home with a heavy loss? He/she's definitely in a bad mood. The actions or even mere presence of his/her wife/husband or children might easily annoy him/her, leading to violence.

Especially if the addicted gambler badly wants to go back to the casino but has already drained his/her wallet, that's when he/she is very hard to handle or please. Everything seems to be wrong; everyone seems to be at fault.

In general, the most basic cause of domestic violence is the MONEY factor. The correlation between the two is still very close, the meeting between domestic violence and gambling is caused by money. Small quarrels that occur in the household because of money, when the wife demands that the husband buy household necessities but the husband is unable to fulfill all these demands because the money has been spent on gambling, will trigger bad communication between the couple. Arguments about money can lead to disputes between the two and their status can escalate into physical, emotional violence and all forms of domestic violence.

Yes I think gambling addiction can lead to domestic violence. When a gambler spends most of his time at the casino and have little time for his family. Things like this can cause a problem at home, as the wife will constantly be disturbing the gambler to limit or stop his gambling habits and the gambler will see it as an insult to him and this can often lead to a fight at home. There has been several cases of this in my region. Gambling addicts don't like who is stopping them from gambling.

If there is anything that easily leads to destruction of homes and domestic violence as you put it, it is addiction of anything been it drinking, smoking and then gambling tops it off. If you look at what causes most domestic violence it is the inability of the addicted not to discharge his duties accordingly. A gambler addict hardly has money to safe for family or for himself and this gets the other family members angry. The most frequent thing self is the fact that they go ahead to steal other family members money or even squander the assets kept in their possessions for the use of the family or the community and if the reports gets to the owner of the assets or the potential beneficiaries it leads to confrontation which as we all know is the bedrock of every violence.

If you look at some of the reason why religious faith actually frowns upon gambling or any form of addiction is because of the fact that it leads to this said violence.

Cases of domestic violence due to gambling are frequent in my country.
Most of those who do gambling are those who have a middle to lower economy, and they have also become gambling addicts.

Domestic violence occurs because of the effects of gambling, they have no money left and are forced to sell everything they see at home,
including jewelry belonging to their wives and other valuables.

Often occurs in offline gambling and this makes the psychology of a gambler disturbed and can commit any criminal act including domestic violence.

Gambling has good and bad effects, but bad effects dominate because gambling is only used as a place to try luck and hope to get a big jackpot.
But in the end it will only give defeat and lose all the money.

But for those who make gambling only as entertainment by giving a small allocation to gambling, so they will stop when the allocation runs out and gambling is also just entertainment, there will be no panic or stress because of gambling for entertainment purposes.

Big O Yeah! Any addiction in general can lead to domestic violence depending on the person state of mind. Because a person with a short temperance attitude will surely resort to violence once addiction kicks in especially when we are talking about gambling that is very brutal in regards with finances.

Philippines, My country is a living proof for this because there’s a lot of domestic violence happening here just because the husband is heavily addicted on gambling. When online sabong becomes rampant here, Lots of house wife file a complaint in national level that makes our law maker and president decided to ban online sabong due to the damage it results to Filipino households.

“So it’s his recommendation and I agree with it, it’s good, so e-sabong will end by tonight,” he said.

“We were only after the tax revenues, but after the stories I heard, it’s loud and clear that it’s working against our values,” he continued in remarks translated by media outlets Rappler and CNN Philippines.

“The impact on families and on people, it turns out players are not sleeping for 24 hours.”

Año’s “validation report” was based in part on a survey by the Department of the Interior and Local Government that raised significant concerns about the impacts of e-sabong on the community.

You won't find a cause-effect relationship in scientific studies. There will be specific cases of gamblers who hit women just as there will be cases of gamblers who rape children, but just as there is a small percentage in society in general.

The fact that a person has two characteristics (such as being a gambler and hitting women) does not mean that there is a cause-effect relationship between them. I'm sure many of the gamblers on this forum may find the implication offensive.

Being addicted to gambling can be a thorn in the flesh. We have heard many bad behavior from gambling addicts that shows that gambling is a serious concern requiring serious efforts at curbing it. Many casinos also include in their disclaimer "gamble responsibly" and this shows the danger of gambling addiction.
