I think it is not only in the UK but almost in all countries, gambling is addictive and will attract many more people times to times.
Moreover in this pandemic era, probably there are many more people who are playing online gambling. As we know, online gambling is now available in many countries (although still not legalized, they cans till play sometimes). It can be accessed by many more people, with many new gamblings or games, offering interesting bonuses or jackpots and many others to attract the gamblers or even the newcomers.

Its my first time to hear up that someone get addicted when they do tried out to help someone's addiction problem.

it is like funny But it really can be if someone doesn't have strong mental or willing not to be involved in gambling. For, when he asked his friend to stop gambling and his friend told him about what he has got so far, he may be interested in that profits and start going to know about gambling. From only want to know, he is learning, and then trying to playing only "once". Then, he is attracted and play more and more because of the curiosity at first. And then, it is becoming an addiction without he is realizing.

This really hurts when you read what those people would be going through at this difficulty times. But also being said we all know that addition of anything is not good and when you addicted to gambling it really have many adverse effects of humans and their life and this is what is happening with them as well. Hope they can find a solution and able to quit this addiction as quick as possible.

Gambling addiction is worse these days becasue of people getting stuck in their homes and they have nothing to do. They play gambling all they long and due to this it is easy for them to get addicted. I hope once the lock down is lifted, people will get back to work and they will be less busy in gambling.

Not really that much since we know that if theres no work then theres no money for you to use to gamble unless if you are already rich and do have money to spend on even on the amidst of pandemic then you would surely spent much more time on gambling since you are in the convenience of your home but this is only for those who do have money but i believe that majority would really save up
for their needs and would skip gambling for now but well, we do know that not all would consider this out because there would be people who would really do sorts of things just to gamble
and the thing where op mentions do prove that.

Campaign Management?"Hhampuz" is the Man

Perhaps because of their falling economy that’s why the people are turning into gambling trying their luck since it is hard to find in their government?it is hard to tell the true reason but sometimes desperation leads people to commit another bad action and that is what United Kingdom is suffering now?

Its my first time to hear up that someone get addicted when they do tried out to help someone's addiction problem.So this mean that they do accompany them with their gambling habits?

Same here, I also just heard that addiction can spread from helping addicts. Cheesy

I am not sure how they help the addicts but if they don't play gambling games, they shouldn't be addicted, too. AFAIK, addiction means we do excessive play without self-control. This only happens if we play gambling games almost every day or even many times in a day. So, you may be correct if they help by accompanying the addicts. It seems a bit strange way! Grin

I just can't imagine how can this be happen in the reality, you're the one who is saving a person to overcome his gambling addiction rather than adapting it from them. For me, if you are willing to educate someone about the risk of getting addicted to gambling, you are the one who are responsible first of doing it.

Well that is what exactly the point as how can you be reliable in advices you have given if you cannout even apply to yourself right?
So yeah i agree that before telling others better do it your self first.

They should see those goods quality on you as you are helping and urging them to practice self-discipline and self-control in the midst of addiction. There are a lot of virtual games that can entertain you without even losing a single amount of money, instead of wasting real money. Once you know how to overcome addiction, you should spread it and help other people overcome it like you do, and prevent yourself from being addicted to it again.

But to tell you the truth?gambling addict is so hard to lure for betterment because all they look forward is satisfying their needs in gambling.

Yes, in order to fulfill your actions by giving him the advice to avoid gambling 24/7, you should be aware of yourself that you are not addicted to gambling. It's going to be nonsense if you save someone, but you can't save yourself from addiction.

You 're the model for them, and let them see you as a positive guy, very successful because you don't have any negative behavior, so you're trying to help him rebound from the problem. Even if you don't have addiction experiences and don't know what to do, there are online solutions or ask for help from some doctors who know the mental health issue very well.

GambleAware charity in association with Yougov conducted a survey which revealed shocking information, that around 1.4 million gamblers (UK citizens) were facing problems with their gambling addiction.

It’s also worth mentioning that the report further claims that around 3.6 million people were effected due to someone’s else gambling problem, though I don’t understand how would they be effected by someone’s else gambling problems?.

Lastly many experts have downplayed those numbers quoted in the survey, but they have acknowledged the truth that addicted gamblers are not getting the help they require to cure themselves, and since we’re a community I feel that we should try and help these gamblers as, and when we find out about their gambling addiction.

You don't understand?Really?
If a family member has a gambling addiction,the budget of that family/household will be damaged a lot.
Addicted gamblers can get into debt pretty fast and if one member of the family has debt,that debt becomes a problem for the entire family,in one way or another.
I was expecting the quarantine/lockdowns to trigger some sort of increase of people's addictions.
Many gamblers use their addiction as a form of "escapism"-running away from the problems and from the stressful situation that is happening around the world.

Gambling is never a good thing to do. Addiction of gambling has render some family homeless. A friend of mine loss all his life earnings due to his reckless habit of gambling. Now he's in square one

The best way to curtail the habit of gambling is to deactivate the gambling site or change surroundings to where gambling doesn't exist. That's a personal decision for those that are eager to stop it. You can't stop gambling while you have friends that gambled also

It's kinda vague for me how this particular gambler affected 3.6 million people? If they mean that a one successful gambler that inspire 3 million people, then I may believe it. Otherwise it said that someone's gambling problem then probably I don't really get it.

UK's government maybe can provide free medical consulations for those who have serious gambling disorder so they can resolve the problem even a bit.

There are many families who do not support gambling and look down on it and many give up gambling I also think they have suffered a lot They don't have enough capital to gamble, so many people are no longer gambling. That's why gambling addiction in the UK is getting worse by the day Or the effects of the virus are getting worse because the virus has a huge impact in the United States and all people are spending their days in crisis.

By the way, you misspelled it for affected, it has a different context. The family is most affected by it when there's someone of a problem gambler in a family since most gamblers referred to men mostly the one affected to it are the women, just my two cents.

Addiction is a strange word, and many people abuse this word! We are all addicted to something, there's a famous sentence "find what you love and let it kill you", whatever that is. It's what addiction really is, you do something you love, but that love eats you from inside!
Any vice can provide a good experience, and good experience is what drive you back to your vice every day! What get you in the problem with any vice is overconsumption! Everything is good if you have your limits, if you know how much you can handle without any contra effects. If you do more than you handle, soon you will face with problems!
Nobody can help addicts without their wish to stop! And again if they wish to stop they will do it, if not they will think of many excuses why they are continuing with something that hurts them.

This issue is probably because of the lockdown, so people have more free time to play online games. The lack of outdoor exercise, work, and social activities affect us in one or many ways. When everything recovers, I'm pretty sure the number will go down.

If you really want to help those guys, a video conference where people gather and talk can be way more beneficial than money. If you give money, they will use it to play.

That is a shocking result because people in the UK has a serious problem in gambling addiction.

Not shocking at all if while being addicted, these people are still in control of themselves as their other activity isn't affected yet.

When we say gambling-addicted, it doesn't mean that most are truly out control to the point that we can compare it to a drug addict.

The survey is not accurate I believed. They might also include those regular and professional gamblers.

For me that still shocking news because that number can increase every day if the government can not firm action to the casino. The people can lose their control sooner or later once they lose their money too. We already see that some people cannot hold themselves from the tempting of the games, so they spend more and more money.

But perhaps, some people can still hold themselves even if they are gambling-addicted, so they don't lose control in gambling.

charity really ? i didnt knew that but i thought its only a site that helps gambling addicts but that makes them more cooler if they also act as a charity but what they are helping ? providing medecine for gamblers or creating rehab center , just like that ? or they also help other non gambling people that are in need of help . we already know the common impact of gambling so i think they are doing surveys for other reason like knowing if the numbers of gamblers increase as well as the addicted to it

I am possibly this statement means is the breadwinner of the families have some gambling addiction that affected the whole family income in some way. that's not hard to understand though when you suppose to buy that money for your daily needs and the needs of your children but instead, you use it for gambling. the result would be another 3.6 million people will also affect excluding the gambler himself. to be honest, it's not only men who are addicted but sometimes women has been addicted to, in some cases.

Article states 2.7% of UK adults have a problem with gambling. Doesn't seem like too much? With how easy it is to gamble with online gambling beginning to be the norm, at least while COVID-19 is alive, I don't find it too surprising for gambling rates to be increasing. Sportsbetting sites are popping up out of no where and clearly they know the demand's out there because they're in business. Still though, 2.7 percent seems like a rather minuscule number. The UK goes overboard with their regulations so if gambling truly started to becoming a problem, I don't think the government would just sit idle. They'd definitely implement caps or put harsh regulations on UK based providers.
