This is great, there are some countries that banned gambling and this is simply the wrong way to go about this, creating campaigns to make people aware of the dangers of gambling addiction and how to prevent it and identify it is the way to go, after all it would be wrong to prohibit alcohol beverages to the majority of the population just because a few people get addicted to it and the same kind of thinking applies here, gambling is a really entertaining activity and it would be wrong to ban it just because a few people get addicted to it.

It's true that banning gambling is not an effective way, because after all people will still look for ways to be able to gamble even though
the government has banned it. A much more effective way is to provide education through campaigns by providing information about gambling
addiction which can have bad consequences. Then the campaign how to overcome and identify gambling addiction, it is much more effective
to prevent gambling addiction, not by banning it. I come from a country that prohibits gambling activities, but me and my friends can still
play gambling, so it's really not a good way to ban gambling activities to prevent gambling addiction.

The purpose of the campaign won't reach its full extent if other people won't participate and help the organization or institution that started the campaign.. Gamblers will stay away on this that's why if there's a person who knows some gamblers that already addicted to gambling, tell the institutions so that they can reach out to the gambler. Everyone should cooperate and not just rely on the goal of the campaign. Closest family and friends are the one that can see and noticed first if there's an unusual changes to that person who are into gambling.

That's correct. And if someone (friend/relative) do care about the gambling problem of a person then he must do what he can to provide help and one good step is to tell this kind of services about it.
A time may come when he will destroy himself and all we can do is regret we didn't act before it came to that point. It can prevent suicide attempts, being buried in debts, homelessness, destroying his own family, and a lot more reason.
Hardcore Gamblers won't tell but the people who surrounds him can.

A great program that can help every gamblers and not just those who are already addict in gambling, this can also give awareness to beginners about the possible risk of gambling. Some addict gamblers really don’t want to get expose, they just want to deal with this alone and I do hope that thru this program they can now have the courage to face their problems and ask for some help.

This campaign isn't enough to be honest, it's just an awareness campaign so it's not really that effective, I mean the addicted will stay addicted, and the people won't stop gambling even if they're aware, better if there's some real intervention like rehabilitation.

Not enough but at least they are doing something there. Rather than consider that as not an effective one, hope for the best that everyone will cooperate. For example, those concerned people that know there are gambling addicts around there can reach or consult the company Entain and Rush Street Interactive (RSI) to give assistance to those people.

There are already rehabilitations but that will give just additional stress to an addicted gambler if they will directly put there. That's where the RSI will help on the situation by doing consultation and deep talk first.

The initiative is helpful for those who really want to get help. Because if the gambler is unwilling to undergo himself to change, then, any initiative from government or any agency would only be futile. It still depends on the gambler himself what he wants in life. He will always find a way how to avoid such activity like this if he wants to.

The help should start at the closest person to that addicted gambler. It's right that addicted gamblers will not allow themselves to be school by this responsible campaign movement. Most are hard headed not until a close family of that gambler will talk to them nicely that they want to help to get rid of their addiction.

After some nice discussion, that addicted gambler will now be enlightened that he really needs to undergo a rehabilitation.

This program will benefit many gamblers, especially those who are educated and understand the implications of exceeding the limit.
It's strange how people who are unaware of the consequences of gambling usually seem to get lucky in gambling, since the curious are always so cautious in their approach but then, they loose everything just overnight.

Quote from: XCANA on September 26, 2021, 07:44:58 AM

This is a nice program at least for those who are addicted to gambling. I wonder why and how people can easily become addicted in playing gambling s it because they are making good money from playing gambling or is it that they have anything to think about again. I started playing gambling since 2017 and I am not addicted to it. Is it because am yet to make a huge money from playing gambling or what lol.

It's natural to become addicted to anything, especially if you're the greedy kind, it's not because they make money from the casino, the responsible gambler ones play too and it doesn't occur to them, they do it for the fun of it during their leisure time.

I don't believe there is anything natural for one to be addicted to gambling as one of the factor mentioned iny previous submission most lead to addiction. It seems like you don't know much about what is addiction and how it can happen to someone please read this reply from people who know more about factors that influence addition here

That's a good question, but I think you are right, people who have never win anything are less likely to get addicted than people who have won big prizes. When you've made good profits I think you start to think you can be lucky again and win bigger prizes than those you've earned until now.

Good to know that you mentioned "if you are greedy" in your submission and that alone will take care of your word "natural". To be greedy in playing gambling it can simply means you must have made some money and you want to make more and that process will lead to addiction.

Thank you to have mentioned my post as an example of "reply from people who know more about factors that influence addition"
I appreciate that

I agree with you I think the previous experience of the gambler is an important factor even if it's certainly not the only one.

As I did a brief quick read on this topic, I believe that gambling like any game can cause a certain kind of dependency in a person. I believe that creating certain "campaigns" to help this addiction is something valid, but unfortunately there are people who keep silent because they do not want to reveal that they have this addiction to gambling.

Truth to be told, Campaigns are just mere campaigns without actions. Though, I'd like the idea of spreading awareness. But in such, these campaigns are beginning to be a business as well. Despite the good intention, at the end of the day like what has been said above addicts will remain addicts without a proper program or rehab.

Having that said, it is still much better to have consulted rather than sending flyers everywhere. It won't help especially to those gambling addicts that have lost it all, to the point that they could care less or those addicts that think that they aren't one.

Just like most of us here, we are all hoping that success will happen to this intention to help more people to learn more
about the risk of engaging with gambling.

Well it seems you are right --take a look at us here, we are fully educated in gambling, the pros, and cons that we know, the possible negative consequences waiting ahead that we should avoid. All of that because we are educated in gambling, the same in this country that was implemented that kind of campaign, it will surely boost knowledge by their people and be responsible gamblers. Gambling is really helpful to the country, it will produce too much revenue that could help to boost the country's economy so banning instead is totally useless.

This is very nice educating people about gambling ,it will teach one how to go about gambling and how to manage fund

If they are really serious with their campaign, they will try to educate as many people as possible and will not stop from that. I think the authority can see that this program can really help people solve their gambling problems and for other people to know how to treat gambling. Hopefully, the authority will support that program and help their people recover their lives from gambling. The government can also make another campaign to help to educate people about the danger of playing gambling.

A great idea and hopefully it will really help.
Educating people from gambling addiction will save how many lives and possibly down wealth. If this campaign will successfully be effected, I guess many countries will follow and do the same on this campaign, we know how our government protective their people not to become addicted in gambling, rather than banning gambling instead, educating people is the best option.

There are countries that will rather choose to educate their people than banning this business,

they still hopeful that by means of informational campaigns it lessens the people who got engaged with this activity,
they are aware of how gambling addictions affect their citizens, but due to implement taxes, they are not willing to give up.

Just like most of us here, we are all hoping that success will happen to this intention to help more people to learn more
about the risk of engaging with gambling.

when I read the title of the thread I thought they were talking about some rehab house for gambling addicts, I actually thought that some rehab house had received some partnership so that it was possible to have more financial resources to treat addicts, but when I read the thread I realized that it is not about this subject. so I fully agree that this news does not help addicts much.

A good initiative most certainly. It happens a lot of time when the gamblers don't understand their addiction when it becomes a part of their lifestyle. Providing information and psychological help certainly helps the gamblers beat the blues and come back to normal life. Most importantly the mental support is needed for the gamblers to come out of their addiction. Hopefully this association between RSI and AGA will do their part with integrity and help a lot of addicted gamblers to come back to normal life.

There are a lot of things one has to consider when you are into Gambling. Some people are unaware of the probelm as well and some people are delusional. The first part would be getting aware of the situation.
Being aware means you have to understand the first signs of problems with gambling. Here is an interesting questionnaire one can take, taken from nhs.uk :

Quote

Are you a problem gambler?
Try this questionnaire:

Do you bet more than you can afford to lose?
Do you need to gamble with larger amounts of money to get the same feeling?
Have you tried to win back money you have lost (chasing losses)?
Have you borrowed money or sold anything to get money to gamble?
Have you wondered whether you have a problem with gambling?
Has your gambling caused you any health problems, including feelings of stress or anxiety?
Have other people criticised your betting or told you that you had a gambling problem (regardless of whether or not you thought it was true)?
Has your gambling caused any financial problems for you or your household?
Have you ever felt guilty about the way you gamble or what happens when you gamble?
Score 0 for each time you answer "never"
Score 1 for each time you answer "sometimes"
Score 2 for each time you answer "most of the time"
Score 3 for each time you answer "almost always"

If your total score is 8 or higher, you may be a problem gambler.

Source : https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-body/gambling-addiction/

The second step would be acceptance and looking for help, you can actually do that through various online websites, most of them are available for free, even on websites like Roobet. We have an option to directly get redirected on the website for example gamcare etc, you will also have an option to talk with national landlines as well.

This is an important issue one have to address and be responsible for their own actions as well. Awareness and responsibility are the two important things that a Gambler should always have.

The onus lies on oneself to be responsible of their own actions be it gambling or another thing as well. If one cannot control themselves then the end may be near in many ways as its such a addition that people come on roads if not prevented at right time and gets addicted to it.

I hope that this campaign is not just about waiting for them to come. It should be the other way around and they should be able to reach out.
Being shy about it will also be the issue, we cannot minimize the gambling addiction if they won't even visit. Friends and relatives will play a big a part in this if they knew what's going on with whoever they knew that has a gambling problem.
I think this is cool, if we are unable to stop them then just offer a plan.

I agree with what you've said because there are numerous addiction treatment centers, the majority of which are still operational today. The problem is that some victims of gambling addiction refuse to seek help because they prefer to handle things on their own. So I hope that the campaign is more than simply waiting for them to arrive; it should be more interactive and well-known in the public so that everyone is aware of it and those who are close to a gambling addict can assist him by approaching them and hoping that the campaign could act fast.

You can visit on here to see what companies are partnering with AGA:

https://www.americangaming.org/have-a-game-plan/

Hopefully, more and more gamblers can take responsibility for their money and themselves so the addiction among the people can reduce. And people will know that placing a bet in sports betting is fun but they must prevent becoming addicted to gambling.

More programs like this can help people have a responsibility to themselves and help them manage the budget and time to avoid the worst scenario that can happen to them.

This will only get favored to the most gamblers who like to play, isn't that right?
it can help to everyone if they win the games, but if not, of course it not helpful, instead,
it giving them a bitter due to loss of their fund in the gambling games. But if you are addicted unto
it, even you loss most often that doesn't matter anyway.
