I do not know why others feel that they need to keep gambling a secret. They should not be ashamed to do it or get help to stop if they need it.

It's because there's a norm that if you're a gambler, you're almost close for being a bad person because you might do other things such as stealing, robbing and other bad things to sustain your gambling needs. This has been the portrayal of those irresponsible gamblers because they've done such acts.

But, it's not that all gamblers are like that. There are just those type of gamblers that have been too irresponsible and became addicted severely and they don't have a source to continue with what they do.

I have never been secretive when I started to gamble, it was even known not just to my relatives but also my friends. And even after going to school when I was younger, I've done it with my classmates. That's how I was open when I was on my younger days.

Huh

When it comes to relationships it's better not to hide because there will be suspicion in your relationship and this is not good, you'll eventually be caught because you're spending money on your gambling it will eventually show up in your finances you will keep lying until you are caught and this will cause a serious strain in your relationship, partners take gambling seriously they know that excessive gambling may ruin your relationships and your finances and you have to be honest with your family about your gambling activity to avoid getting hooked on it.

I don't mind people knowing that I am gambling since my community is often to this kind of thing. I often see them (my neighbors) playing cards on the street in a broad daylight until midnight, so me getting involved in gambling isn't a big issue. My father also used to gamble when I was a kid so it isn't his place to lecture me about being involved in gambling, while my mom is always open minded on things. So i don't have any reason to be secretive about my gambling activity.

If that is giving me decent amount of profits, I guess there’s no reason I will hide it. To be honest, I even pay bills sometimes using profits from gambling so definitely, it’s not a secret anymore from my wife or my parents. However, when it comes to my children, I guess they know already I am into gambling and it’s never an issue. Right now, their focus is their studies first before thinking of making their own income.

If you have that positive take from your love ones it's better to be open with them, it helps a lot in case that you are unable to control yourself the best thing is to ask some help to assist you with your concern, there are people or gamblers who doesn't care about it, as long as they are doing it responsibly people that surround them will not intimidate unless there's a problem.

There are many reasons why some people are hiding their gambling activities.
For me, I believe, it is the stigma that is connected to gambling.
But my immediate family knows that I am betting from time to time, especially if I know the athletes or teams.
But I am not in anyway posting or sharing to social media channels that I am betting on these sports.

Depends on what type of family relation you have. If they are all open-minded, then there's no problem revealing your engagement
with gambling, they'll going to treat it as a pastime for you o something that you used to kill some time.

When I gambled a little bit in the past and didn't advertise it. My loved ones would not approve of this activity, although among my acquaintances many were fond of gambling at different periods of life and their failures were much more impressive than mine. I didn't talk about it anyway, and now there is no need due to the lack of relevance of gambling.

Im not anything from my family or on my wife because its never been a good thing if you do ever tend to hide something which they dont even know specially with gambling which do really eats up finances.
Whenever i do get involved on things which im not usually doing or for the sake of test out then this is where i dont tell which it isnt really that necessary because it was just a test out
and not something that i do everyday.

I can play whenever i do see something new and have some money allocated for that which it wont really be that needed for i to tell on what do i do but everything
could really be seen on what im doing on my pc but my wife or family wouldnt really give out any disturbances on whatever im doing.

You can assume that there are many more people gambling online or in a casino than you think or know. Most people who gamble will always gamble at a loss. Then you also know that people don't like to tell you that they lost a few thousand dollars again gambling. That's not a nice conversation piece after all. You often see success stories of gamblers on the internet, but you do not hear the annoying stories. There are also many successful gamblers who choose to keep their successes to themselves. Why would you share that with others? After all, it can make you feel hurt if people know that you win a lot with gambling.

If we are addicted, we should not be embarrassed about our situation but it would be good if you tell your friends or family about it so that they can help you with your condition. Don't worry, I know they won't talk negative things about you. Why will they do that when they see that you are already suffering from your condition? For them that is enough and you already learned your lesson.

I believe that there's nothing wrong with being open but there should also be limitations because others who would hear about it may not understand and we could easily get judged.

I hide my gambling activity to some persons and am open about it to some other persons,... For example
My family, that is my wife and children know nothing about my gambling activities, I hide it from them because my wife in particular does not like it, she will scold me and ask me to stop if she gets to know about it.
My pastor and fellow members in the church do not know I gamble too because I feel I will face some level of discrimination from them if they find out I gamble.

The only ones I open up to that I gamble is to my fellow gambler friends, that is colleagues at work and business who are gamblers too, they are the ones I can comfortably discuss my gambling activities/habit with.

All my gambling activities is done anonymously without any of family members getting aware of it, I never gamble with any funds that I used to cater for my family, I gambled with small funds i.e amount of money I can afford to lose, meanwhile the gambling App particularly betting sites App on my phone make it easier for me to conceal all my betting activities, most often when placing a bet on my phone I do act as if I am playing game with my phone and if done I closed the App outrightly to avoid suspicion while monitoring lives scores, Iam betting for fun having been a soccer enthusiast and with much knowledge of the game.

I don't see any reason to open up anything about gambling when it doesn't affect my family nor I am having a problem with my gambling activity.

It's true although people manage to hide it by gambling on their phones. I know people who do it this way and they bet only when they're outside like going outside for a smoke or shopping or on their way to work and their relatives don't know about it.

I'm 100% honest if someone asks but I don't talk about it unless I'm asked directly. It's not the best conversation topic unless the other person is a gambler too, then it becomes a great topic.

For me, it's probably somewhere down the middle as I don't openly talk about it with my family but I also don't hide it since they've seen me play casino games before. I'd rather keep my gambling activities on my own for the most part as I feel like there's no need for them to know what's happening after every session but i'm willing to talk about it and answer their questions if they're the ones to make the initiative.

I suppose I am secretive, yes. But it is not because I have to, since I am given much privacy by my family, they do not mind much what I do with my own money.
To be honest, I do not partake in gambling too often, since I prefer to do so in a social context and in the last two years, because the pandemic I have not had many chances to visit my family (who love to play cards).

In the case I started to gamble heavily for some reason and they noticed it, I would probably need to actively hide it from all of them, they would call me out due to fair concerns about my financial future. Most of this is just speculation from my part...

Many people are trying to recover from lost or being addicted to gambling so it's a personal choice to remain hidden or showcase to people around.

It should be a personal choice for security reasons. That is, one should learn to know the kind and minds of the persons they are closest to before exposing gambling activities. Gambling in recent times doesn't quite get a good thumbs up by close members of family or relatives or even the wife, because people fear a case where it becomes addictive. If one is already in the gambling system and keeps it under control, in that it is not played in excessively, if these close families or friends or the wife gets to find out, it might be overlooked. Hence, one shouldn't neglect other financial responsibilities for sake of gambling. It is called greed.

Sometime I lose more than my own limit, the limit that my family (wife) knows about.
In this case, I would not tell my wife that I lose more for a reason.
However in case of big win, I'll tell about it without hiding it even a single cent.

In general terms, my wife knows everything about my gambling activity. But if you take the details, she does not know anything, because if I explain why in different cases I take different risks (sometimes very different ones) I will have to explain too much mathematics. I think that it is enough that she knows my gambling budget and knows that this money is initially considered as "spent on a hobby". Therefore, even if the money "spent on a hobby" actually turns out to be not spent, but increases after successful bets, they still remain in the category of gambling money. She knows that I will withdraw only if I win big.

If you're betting a big amount you should tell this your family, and should not be secretive, your relationship with your family will crumble if they find out that you lose a huge amount of money, you should tell them so they can intervene and help you if you do not have control on how you gamble, but if you're betting a small amount of money and its only for recreational purposes only you can keep it to yourself, just don't exceed your allocation.

Keeping is one way ruin a relationship but sometimes its also a good thing.

They'd feel bad if you decline one of them asking a big loan. I wouldn't want to them to feel like I'm hesitant to lend them an amount knowing I gamble some of it. Its one reason I also don't let them know I'm betting so I keep it to myself, the better that way. But yes I'm always going to lend them infact I just give fourth or half the amount they ask instead. No need to pay.

Say I decide to begin gambling, I will totally keep it a secret from people because of my gender and the environment I am in. There is a big stereotype against women around me who are known to gamble as it seems an irresponsible thing to do by us but is okay when the opposite gender do so. I will not want to be Labelled as irresponsible, so it is best I keep it a secret, maybe something only a few persons who are not judgmental will know.

I think gambling is a personal thing. meaning, I always keep activities related to betting secret, both for the people around me, especially my parents. but every gambling activity that I do "betting football", will always be known by my wife. why, sometimes one often loses control of ending a betting or gaming session.
my wife can be an alarm that reminds me to end a betting session, and this is very effective according to me personally.

IMO, gambling is very sensitive, very closely related to negative things in our social life. making it personal is best, but it must be equipped with understanding in order to avoid the impact on addiction.

Actually, I'm on the gray side about gambling or not because sometimes I tell my wife if I'm gambling and other times, I gamble secretly without anyone knowing Grin

But my wife accepted it and allowed me to gamble and I always tried to control myself not to cross the boundaries I had set. I don't want to see myself lose a lot so in gambling, I always limit the amount of money and never gamble for too long.

First I want to say that gambling is not considered an acceptable game in all circles, because bets made in gambling games are also considered as games that can make someone lose money. Close relatives such as wife, parents and siblings will strongly oppose gambling activities carried out, for that reason I will keep gambling activities a secret from them. The harmony of family relationships is more important to me, so even though I am a heavy addict of gambling activities I will close my habits tightly so they don't know what I am doing behind their backs.

I am not hiding my gambling activity, but I didn't fully honest about how much I spend and earn from my gambling, it's not much of money though, only less than 5% of my family monthly spending but still, and to be honest I lost a lot more than I earn. My family might actually don't have any problem with that, but I am just not comfortable to share my loss.

As long as there is budget for gambling and all the needs of the family been provided then there will be no problem in doing gambling. Some who hide their gambling activities and loses probably uses only the money needed in the family or there are more important things needed to buy but instead someone uses it to gambling. It will be fun to play gambling with family members sometimes we do play together just to avoid being secretive about playing gambling and so everyone in the family will be open since sometimes they ask if they wanted to play or did I ever tried to play such games in gambling.

Yes, because I live in a religious family where gambling in any form is prohibited and if you try to gamble just even once you will receive too much words from them and you will feel that you are regretting to have that courage to play gamble, that's why I am playing without my family knowing I mean my parents, but I do say it to my partner.

Actually I am not hiding my gambling activity maybe because I am not that addicted to it? In fact, I am very open with my gambling activity as I often treat my parents and brothers whenever I win in the physical casino!

I think it is very important that you should inform your parents and/or peers about your gambling habits. In this way, they would know if you are too deep and invested into this habit and they would be the ones helping you getting out of this bottomless pit.

I didn't deny to my family members and friends that I play gambling because by that they are still aware of my conditions that once I change myself, there's a reason for it also; most of the time, I share with my parents the only wins, not the loss because of course there's a chance they will urge me to stop. However, in my self, I have self-consciousness about the things that happen in my life and gameplay, like still having a designated budget to play and not just wasting all my savings.

I believe family, wife, mother, father, brother or the like, they hate when a family is involved in gambling, I am 100% sure, I don't think any family is willing if one of their family spends betting money in the gambling arena.

Of course, if I gamble my family never knows, because I never gamble at home, even though nowadays gambling sites can generally be played online at home, I prefer to bet outside the house without the knowledge of the family, I don't want my family to be hysterical because I lost a gambling bet, that's the principle.

You should be honest and transparent with your family because you cannot hide a secret forever you will eventually be caught, its better to tell about this to your wife but not to your children if they are still young, your wife can help you control your gambling, the worse thing that can happen is when you lose a big amount and you have to tell lies to your wife about money that you've lost, this where divorce and separation happens, the wife finds out that husband is cheating and already spent a huge amount of money that should only be for the family.

I am not hiding my gambling activity, but I didn't fully honest about how much I spend and earn from my gambling, it's not much of money though, only less than 5% of my family monthly spending but still, and to be honest I lost a lot more than I earn. My family might actually don't have any problem with that, but I am just not comfortable to share my loss.

Are you hiding your gambling activity from your loved ones, family or so?
Or are you being 100% open about gambling?

Huh

This is one of good benefit on online gambling or crypto gambling, it allows you to gamble without being notice by the others and you can easily hide your activities to your family. I didn't share any of my crypto gambling activities to my family, they are still not open into this kind of environment especially with gambling since I came from a very religious family and gambling for them is a big sin. I didn't spend much time in gambling but when the time comes that I can have my partner in life, I'll make sure to share my past because being open to your partner is one of the key to have a happy and successful relationship, so better to be open to your partner.

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.

I don't request loans~

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 you

Nope, that's why she never know if I'm a gambler.
Why 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? Cheesy

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

I don't showcase my gambling activity to anyone or relatives, reason because they believe gambling is a bad habits and should not showcase or influenced others.
Many people are trying to recover from lost or being addiction of gambling so it's of a personal choice to remain hidden or showcase to people around.
