I don't broadcast my gambling activities but I'm not hiding it either.
I'm not really sure about the relevance of this topic since there are usually many gamblers in one household. Most adults in the family would even gamble or play together during weekends or gatherings.
Topic: Are you being secretive about your gambling activity? - page 3. (Read 324 times)
100% open. I was being secretive at the beginning, but well no secret can be kept as a secret forever, ended up getting known at some point and I had to spend an enormous amount of time and effort to placate them and indicate that I am aware of what I'm doing and I know my limits. I even had to let them at one point control the amount of money I spend monthly just to show that I'm aware and conscious of my actions. Was definitely not a pleasant experience imo, but I guess it was worth it in the end for the long term.
I never expose my gambling activities to the loved ones and the people around me. Because someday we're gonna experience the loss out of gambling. By that time it'll hurt the people close to us. Not just because I've lost big, but out of the stress and financial pressure we experience over the days. When I'm financially free to do gambling I'll inform about my gambling activities to my close ones.
At least to our kids, I don't want them to see or know that when we go out at night, we did go to land base casino's and play. It's because we don't want them to think that their parents have this bad habits, so before we go, we make sure that they are sleeping already or at least they don't have any idea where we are going at night. It's not that we also do that, maybe just once or twice a month, me and my wife go to traditional base casino's and have some fun and that it. For my extended family? doesn't matter if they know or not.
That's great! Children should not supposed to be influenced on gambling especially as a parent since we don't want our kids know about this things yet. They should not be exposed to any gambling related activities just like what the law indicates where casino should not allow 18 or 21 years old and below to do or go to any casino.

I want to ask you, if you make money through gambling will you wife use the money? if yes, your wife supposed to know that you're a gambler, because your wife will still be serious to know how you make a money that she never expected you to have that particular time. The people i will be in support not to showcase that they are a gambler to their parents is the children that is not above twenty years, but provided that you have your own family you are free to let anyone know that you engaged in gambling, and again the restrictions or regulations of gambling is important, and if you regulate your gambling even your wife would mine to be a Gambler with youWhy should I give all of my money to my wife? it doesn't mean I don't trust her, but each person need to have money when going outside and I'm not a kind person who have bad money management.
I don't think there's a family that will let their husband, brother or son to gamble freely because there's will a restrictions and sometime they're make a problem or make a joke with your losses, that just make me uncomfortable and ruined my happiness.

I kept it a secret from my extended family due to there are several rules regarding belief, but only a few people knew secretly, my older sister and a few people from my cousins. They don't really support me but they just understand me and respect to me. Possibility are if one day I encounter an addiction problem they will find the best solution, my advantage just that but so far I was able to find a solution for myself.

To be honest, my gambling habits are known to my family especially because they know that I don't gamble with large amounts.
I gamble once in a while with small bets and sometimes my brother sit besides me when I am gambling.
So it's kinda cool at my place but I know that there are many people who hide it from their family and loved ones because they judge them.
There might be many reasons why they hide it from them and it's just that hide it or not it's their choice until it's not damaging them physically or mentally.

I'm quite open about gambling if it comes up in conversation, I stick to low level amounts and generally try to make the most of freebies - have had quite a successful year (up a few hundred) considering the minimal stakes involved. I wouldn't actively bring up a conversation on this topic, as to avoid accidentally encouraging someone who might not have a good grasp of the statistics or odds involved, and because it can lead to terrible addictions for certain people. However if the topic does come up in a social circle that understands the risks, then it can make for interesting conversations. If you're hiding this sort of chat, then it's possibly because you know you're losing and should perhaps quit it altogether.
They know that I do my weekly gambling runs every Saturday and I'm not even ashamed about it. It's my money and I worked hard for it, so what business do they have to reprimand me from enjoying anyway? If they want they can also find some activities on weekends that will give them enjoyment, and perhaps make money on the side like what I'm doing on my lucky days. Also, I'm still financially stable even though I play dice and slots every week, so why would I need to listen to them?

Gambling in my society is seen as immoral by the majority of its inhabitants. It is seen as a waste of time and resources, hence it is important you keep your gambling activity secret to avoid backlash and sometimes insults. Sometimes you don't blame them because most gamblers in my area are taking gambling as a full-time job, thereby becoming less productive. But my wife understands my financial status and she understands how I handle my money so she knows about my gambling life. She understands that I only use my extra funds for games and it has never affected the provision of our basic needs. But my extended family knows nothing about my gambling life because they would misunderstand my gambling life. Or are you being 100% open about gambling?

I'm 100% playing on my personal time and probably hiding all my gambling activities to my family because I don't want them to be disappointed especially when they know all my losses and I think this is fine as long as you can still control yourself. Though my partner knows that I gamble sometimes but of course I still didn't share my whole experience in gambling. If you are hiding this activity make sure that you can keep it as a secret even with your friends because sometimes, your friends are the one who will tell all your gambling activities to your family.

I don’t need to tell them my gambling activities because they already trust me and know that I am not going to do anything stupid like wagering big amounts or gamble excessively. I have responsibilities against certain people. If I act stupidly they will suffer from my actions.
The only situation where you should inform your loved ones is that if you are getting addicted to gambling and losing big money. That means you should get some professional help or otherwise you will ruin yourself financially and mentally. (And possibly physically)

Nope, I have no reason to hide my gambling activities from my loved ones as I share my winnings with them. Also, I can consider myself a responsible gambler since I never get over my allocated limit for my gambling expenses. Or are you being 100% open about gambling?
Maybe, I could consider hiding my gambling activities before I was an irresponsible gambler who always gets emotional when playing and I often deposit more once my allocated bankroll has been lost.
Yes I hide my gambling activity because I don't really find a reason why I need to talk about gambling when my wife, family etc aren't interested in gambling. Also when it's discussing about financial related or money, sometime they just think if I'm really rich so I wasting my money on gambling. Well, not all gamblers are rich since you can start by nothing e.g. using faucet or at least using $5-$10 of your money. I just don't want to make a problem or complicate my life, that's the reason why I don't tell them.

I don't hide what I do to my wife in particular, while my gambling is known to my friends and other family members. Why should I do that? They know that I am a responsible man with no addiction whatsoever. I always tell people that you should not do what you are ashamed of, I am not ashamed of gambling because I play responsibly with a little amount of money, and I don't overstretch my limit too. You might see me betting for a whole week and not bet for the rest of the month, so I am in control which is the right psychology for the game. Or are you being 100% open about gambling?
And for the record, I mostly gamble when I am bored and I have a higher winning rate, so it is all good and open for me.

Absolutely yes. My wife will gonna blame it to all my mistakes that I will made in case he knows that I’m still gambling. We are always fighting before because of gambling because sometimes I’m easily being irritated whenever I lose so I decided to play in moderate and make it in secret from my wife because she knew that I already quit to avoid so much fighting.
My decision to make it secret is the best decision that I made because we never since he is not blaming me anymore and I can control now my emotion too when playing because I need to be quiet to keep it a secret to my wife.
A real gambler who knows it's plans and target in gambling those hide it from any body neither the parents because itself alone knows it's intentions in gambling, but i have seen almost fifty percent of people who play gamble on hidden so that their parents will not question them, and a man who does not like the loved one especially who knows him within the environment to know that it's gamblers, myself every body in town knows that I'm a gambler because theirs nothing to hide, the only thing is to have stipulated amount for your daily gambling.

Nowadays being open means you risk your family life,your work,friendships and many more precious things that we take for granted in life.I never tell anyone especially at our time when we can just open our favorite casino from our mobile and play our favorite game or bet on our favorite team without anyone knowing.While at first before crypto this was difficult as you got credit card statements now with crypto is easy as you can also keep your crypto (the ones you will spend) in your mobile too.This makes things as easy as 1,2,3 and there is no real good reason to being open about gambling when you know what you can lose.

I do not hide it from my parent. If I have spouce already, I will never hide it from her too. I gamble responsibly and no issue. The only people I can hide it for are my children and I will like to educate them appropriately about gambling too. To hide it or not for children is still what I always think about, because you can hide it and that does not mean any of your child can not fall victim of being addicted, but I am still contemplating on that if it is worthy or not.
