I don't think the family has gone too far from threatening the casinos and sue them once they have allowed their family member to gamble. It's an initial reaction from a family and if they can't stop him from gambling and selling all his properties, probably talking to the casino shop owner is the last option. However, this is not enough reason that they will sue the casino for that, they can only do that if they can prove that the casino has been performing against the rules and is creating their own rule for their personal aims and goals.
In addition, to answer the second question, even if your family has not supported your gambling habit all the way, but you can't just easily erase the fact that family will always be a family. The one you can rely on when everything are turning backs on you. And if they don't tolerate your gambling addiction, that's because they don't want you to end up being harmed and homeless. With that, still be thankful for them and share whatever you are capable to share, even if it's the money you won from gambling.

It's a big shame if you condemn something and because of money you later accept it, many people are this shameless today, and they aren't ready to hide it, they have no sense of honor or discipline, I have hated some crime ways of making money in my past and that's because it's wrong, yet it makes many pellet to be rich but I stood on my ways, when its a no let it be a no even when things are looking shiny for them.
If you believe that gambling money is ill gotten money then do not take money from anyone that's into gambling, I have seen such habit only from religion fanatics, they take everything too seriously and who I am to say that they are wrong? Maybe this is an escape for them to at least not end up doing the same thing?
Everyone has their own weak points and strong points too, for many to avoid doing bad things they use hate, I know fathers that disown their children because of gambling but generally it's for their own good, but understanding really matters, if your kids found a way to be a reason responsible gambler they are in safe hands, leave them be.

The young man could go to another city for many reasons to gamble. As compulsive gamblers, they can do things that are beyond our reason. They can even move to another city for the reason of wanting to find a new atmosphere. In fact, that is one way for them to be able to gamble again without anyone watching.
This young man's family has done something we didn't expect because he wanted to do something different from the others. This is courage that needs to be appreciated because it could embarrass the young man from gambling in his city. But he was able to move to another city secretly so he could gamble again.
If it were me, I would share the winnings with people I care about. But if they don't want to, I'll enjoy it myself. I don't need to force it on them.
If you are that someone whose really that totally addicted and compulsive to gambling then you would definitely be that considering on going into other town on which you do know that you could really be able to play but since you do still have that respect into your family then you wont really be tending to go into other places just for the sake of gambling. If you are a person who do really love to revenge into those people who had despise you or really have that bad look into you then you would really be not that minding even if they are a family but well majority of us would really be giving out that kind of importance specially into your family. In case you do win something big then sharing up would really be your first action to be made. Its never been that ideal on being that loving on taking up some revenge just because they are really that stopping you on doing gambling, bare in mind that they are really just that doing this because they do love you.This young man's family has done something we didn't expect because he wanted to do something different from the others.

They've seen something that shouldnt really be done or simply they are really that in concern, sometimes it might be that too much but better to understand on their concern.
During the weekend I was listening to an evening programme from one our the local radio stations they were discussing about gambling, the effects and how to manage it if you might be struggling with addiction. And they had listeners calling in to share personal experiences or of a loved one that gambles and amidst many callers there was this very caller story that caught my interest and curiosity.
She told about how the family members of a particular young man that is like a plunger when it comes to gambling, his compulsive gambling is to the length of him selling his personal properties and gadgets to make sure he gambles. So what he family did was to print a photograph of him and giving it to all the gambling shops within their neighborhood and around the locality, threatening that any of the gambling shops they have pasted the photo of their brother should they find their brother allowed to gamble in the shops they will sue the gamble shop owner to court as one that is abetting their brother's compulsive gambling lifestyle.
Now, while I was quietly listening to the story in my head I began to ask myself several possible questions and one of such questions was; is it not possible that this young man can take a cab away from their location and move to a far area to carry out his gambling since his a compulsive gambler.
Just two questions here:
1. Dis the family of this young man went too extreme in trying to help stop their brother from gambling addiction or not?
2. Assuming you are this young man and you had to run to a distant location to carry out your gambling as you are allowed to gambling within your neighborhood and luckily you won huge sum of million dollars. Would you share that money with your loved ones who were barring you from gambling or you will just stay off from them and live new found wealthy live alone?

I must say this guy is not the smartest of them,selling his wealth to gamble is plain stupid from a logical perspective.It is much better to rent those properties if he cannot manage them or sell them in order to build something new,some new business out of those money.
The compulsive gambler can do the worst of the extreme and moving to a far remote area is something easy to do when you have that enough money to spend.The family is responsible for him to teach him proper education and to tell him that gambling over the long term can bring bad consequences.For me the family is the best agency of education and in the end the fault is only theirs.

If they agree to accept the money coming from gambling that they hate then the family has no principles, so I prefer not to give them for fear that they will shame me again but I will allocate a portion for them so in the future when everything goes well between us, I can give them a part of my winnings, family is family in the end they should sympathize with each other in times of needs we only have a family to help or bail us.

The possibility for this to happen is high. As stated, the guy was selling his personal assets to provide for his gambling. The guy may go to another city to continue his gambling activities or find a chance to gamble online instead. What the family should also do is talk to the guy and make him understand that he needs help for being addicted to gambling. And to the man who is addicted to gambling is lucky that his family still cares and can do such a thing to at least have him stop gambling activities.

For me it feels like the family went a bit overboard with the whole distributing-the-photo-to-gambling-shops move. It doesnt feel like family at all. I get they want to help, but it might not be the most practical solution. Addiction is tricky and putting a face on it doesn't always solve the deeper issue. Maybe a more supportive and professional approach could do the trick.
So, if I hit the jackpot while sneaking off for a gamble, I'd probably use the cash to sort out my gambling mess. I will help myself first and will prove my family wrong by helping them too. It's like turning the whole gambling fiasco into a chance for a fresh start and maybe some better vibes with the loved ones.Sounds hard but not impossible.

1. Dis the family of this young man went too extreme in trying to help stop their brother from gambling addiction or not?
Firstly, we cannot be sure how far the man went in his gambling. however, based on the instructions you mentioned in this post, the young man has become a gambling addict. in fact, had lost the property he owned. In this case, this man was really addicted to his gambling. It will be very difficult with this kind of trick to prevent someone from completely stopping their gambling activities, although in some cases the impact can be positive. but even then, it's only limited to gambling shops. It could be, this man plays at an online casino.
2. Assuming you are this young man and you had to run to a distant location to carry out your gambling as you are allowed to gambling within your neighborhood and luckily you won huge sum of million dollars. Would you share that money with your loved ones who were barring you from gambling or you will just stay off from them and live new found wealthy live alone?

Interesting question, and a little unique for me.
Honestly, the answer will be very varied and difficult, because there are many factors to consider. first if I were that guy, then win millions of dollars. not necessarily, my family will receive the money that I share with them. moreover, they found out that I was still gambling. What is certain is that various reactions will arise. they could be more disappointed even though in the end we become rich. Or maybe, our family will be tempted by the money we win. This is where the human psychological situation will be tested.
and to be honest, I can't answer your question. because, I'm not that guy and what we discussed has never happened in my personal life. The logic is simple, we don't know what the situation will be when we have millions of dollars in the account. there will definitely be many possibilities, and you have concluded it yourself from your question.
1. Dis the family of this young man went too extreme in trying to help stop their brother from gambling addiction or not?
No they did what they must have reasoned to be a way to stop their family member from gambling but he could still gamble online. Families can go the extreme to protect their own. This family should also taking the boy for rehabilitation.2.

Take your money and live your family, some families tend to forgive overtime. If gambling was the way God planned for you to make millions, then it has happened, you did not kill someone for the money, or steal from someone. You just took some risks that has paid off. If they do not understand at the moment, they will understand later.
Based on the cited scenario, i only disagree with posting the picture of the young one. They should have just talked to the management privately ‘coz for sure casinos would be scanning each and every player who would enter the facility. That would be enough to notify them of what is happening. Some people say that the boy could move to other cities just to be able to gamble which has a point but how would he be able to do so if he would be lacking money to travel? That’s the point; the family could have just monitor the child or hire someone to accompany him most of the time or simply bring the child to experts to know what’s best to be done if they cannot restrict the young individual by themselves. I do get that the family might be frustrated of the situation but they should still consider the welfare of the child who is in need of them than to unconsciously shame him.
Though severe, the family's method shows a desperate desire to help a loved one. Combating gambling addiction requires understanding its causes as well as halting the activity. The family's dramatic action is motivated by concern. Does this method respect individual autonomy? Could the activity go underground, making it tougher to address? Finding balance - supporting without violating personal freedoms - is key.
If I were the young man who won a lot of money gambling abroad, sharing it with my family would depend on various circumstances. Understand the relational dynamics and intentions underlying their acts. Are they concerned or trying to control? This win, albeit financially lucrative, doesn't eradicate the addiction or its causes. Sharing the winnings could repair relationships. But personal recovery and addiction treatment are equally important. Balance is key - weighing family ties against personal growth and healing.

The effort they put just to go to near casinos and to threaten them not to let him gamble there. But I don't think it's effective cause (1) he can still go to a different casino far from their neighborhood. (2) casinos may do something against it or might not follow them since it's a business after all. For them he's a customer and a source of their income. (3) he could shift to online gambling wherein the kind of effort that the family did won't work on online casinos.
It won't give them a guarantee that he won't be gambling again cause once a person becomes addicted to something, he will keep finding a way to satisfy their addiction. Instead of going to different casino and threatening them, for me it's better to consult an expect or seek for a professional's help. And might as well consider rehabilitation.

Definitely its very possible the young man could relocate or find an alternative way to continue with his gambling habit since he is an addict already. The family is only trying to help because Cases of addiction as this is usually very tough tackling and does require help most of the times.
If I were that young man and I happened to win millons of dollars after absconding far to continue gambling I will definitely rerun to my family and have them get a fair share of my proceed because i understand they were only trying to help me out of my addiction after which I will go seek professional help since at that point I can be sure to afford it, because some how he may not be comfortable in that habit of his but because he is optimistic he keep on hoping one day it will rewards him.

One thing a lot of people fail to understand is that whenever they're being corrected is the fact that it's only someone who loves you that can go extra in their quest to make you change from your bad and unfruitful lifestyle. From the context of the story, it's absolutely clear that the young man is already a gambling addict hence the extra action from his family members to try stop his addictive gambling life.
There's no guarantee that he's gonna win big tomorrow in gambling and I think what his family wants for him is to be a better person tomorrow. It'll be better to adhere to his family's advise and desist from gambling than traveling to a distant location in other to gamble and make it through gambling.

If I understood the context, it's a married couple and the wife force her husband to stop gambling, right?
Since it's a spouse or loved one, I'd choose to share my winnings to her in purpose to "shut her mouth", most people will let their spouse to do anything as long as it gives benefit to her/him.

First of all family is something that people cannot really stay away from. You can't get family love through money. The family may have put various barriers in the boy's gambling to prevent him from gambling in the best interest of the boy, but it does not mean that the family wishes him ill. He might win millions of dollars by gambling now but if he had lost gambling then his family would not have kicked him out but his family would have taken him in. The person you heard about on the radio may have become addicted to gambling, which may not have been well-received by the family, and the family may have prevented him from gambling. Now that man might be a million dollar owner and if he thinks about this and walks away from his family, I'd say he's acting selfishly. The family supported the boy when he had nothing and the family raised him from childhood so no matter how much money he owns he must stay with the family.
Well, the parents cannot stop him from using online gambling from his mobile phone, so this is one way of bypassing his or her parents plans to stop the gambling. (They can take his or her phone, but he or she can have another phone or use a friends phone to gamble)
I think they should address the main reasons for the addiction in a professional manner. They should take this person to get professional help from someone that can deal with gambling addiction.

first of all, the young man family efforts are understandable but worth doing because after all gambling is a business providing a place for entertainment and all risks are not the gambling party fault but the young man himself should be blamed because he alone has full control over whatever he does and as a family the young man should have given strict education to the young man or taken him to a doctor who could cure him of this addiction and his family efforts would only be in vain because despite posting photos of the ban in all the casinos in the city, the young man could bet through online sites which are now very easy to get. accessed.
and for the second question I would never do something stupid like that even though I have to assume if that young man were me I would not disappoint my family.

1. Dis the family of this young man went too extreme in trying to help stop their brother from gambling addiction or not?
that was truly an exaggeration. it was like committing a murderer who was in pursuit of the police. but I know that it is a response from a family who loves their relatives. Although I think it's quite excessive, it might have an impact on the gamblers themselves. although I'm not sure he will play in just one place. It's just that, if his family treats him more harshly, it could be a negative sentiment for the gambler's mentality.2. Assuming you are this young man and you had to run to a distant location to carry out your gambling as you are allowed to gambling within your neighborhood and luckily you won huge sum of million dollars. Would you share that money with your loved ones who were barring you from gambling or you will just stay off from them and live new found wealthy live alone?
they are against us to gamble. If you want to share your winnings with others, I don't think they will accept that. what is clear is that his family's view of gamblers must be very bad. and they will think that the money they earn from gambling will not make them happy.if I get that win, then I will enjoy it myself.
