Being addicted to gambling can be a thorn in the flesh. We have heard many bad behavior from gambling addicts that shows that gambling is a serious concern requiring serious efforts at curbing it. Many casinos also include in their disclaimer "gamble responsibly" and this shows the danger of gambling addiction.
However, I'm wondering if addiction can make someone become aggressive to the point of leading to domestic violence. Has there been any known case of it happening? Lets know what you have to say.
I have never heard of any or come across a news talking about that in the internet. I won’t be surprised if a news comes out saying that a gambler engaged in such act and caused mayhem in the society. The level of addiction some people have in gambling can take over their sanity and how they react to things when they lose their bet. You should know how to control your emotions, don’t be aggressive at losses as the implication is always severe.
I came across a news today about
House of Representatives in the Nigeria National Assembly telling the federal government to spread the awareness of the negative impact of sports betting, saying that;
“Weak or neglected regulations of sports betting have dangerously led to mental health problems, such as depression, anxiety, or addiction; strained or broken relationships due to lying or stealing from friends and family, financial problems, legal issues, and job loss due to excessive loss or debt, increased crime rates and eventually committing suicide,” stressing “That most players prefer betting through their mobile phones instead of visiting retail outlets in order to evade control and regulations.”
What could be the solution to a case of gambling when pose to you in this alarming manner?
