Please direct me if this topic has been discussed here on this board so that I can lock the thread.

In the meantime, I want to discuss the reality that a gambler can reach the age where he doesn't want to gamble anymore. When we start aging our priorities in life start changing. We get to have more responsibilities in our hands. Remembering the extent to which we gamble when we are youth it is observed that gambling can be more appealing during our youth stage. But it's less when we get older.

The reason why most persons stop gambling while aging is because of financial security which I mentioned earlier about taking responsibilities, being focused on their family, retirement, and other life goals which gambling may not be important at this stage of life.

What do you think are other reasons why gamblers may choose to stop gambling while they are aging?

Maybe there should be a poll/survey among old gamblers to answer your question, but unfortunately I don't know about such poll/survey.
I'm not old enough to judge by myself about when there will be a moment, when I won't have the desire to gamble anymore.
Maybe you should ask older gamblers, if you manage to find them somewhere around the place, where you live. My personal opinion is that age doesn't matter. I've seen old gamblers playing slots in casinos, so I don't think that age is something that could stop gambler from gambling.

Patience and hard work are the keys to success.

A young person and an old person do not have the same ability to withstand stress. Of course gambling puts a person under a lot of stress. A young person can handle that stress very easily, but an old person's capacity to bear that stress decreases. As you age, stress can cause heart attacks or other types of traumatic accidents, enough to cause death.

Even as a person grows older, his mentality changes and he becomes responsible. It is difficult for a responsible person to engage in risky activities like gambling. Because when you have family responsibilities you will not agree to spend your money in a place where you are more likely to lose money if you are responsible. Even if he is responsible for his family, finding free time like gambling will be the biggest challenge for him.

Only you will know what is the reason you stop gambling because that will depends on the situation that you face. If you think that you are getting old and feels that playing gambling in your age is not comfortable, you can stop gambling and focus to the other things. But some people will say that they don't want to gambling when they are getting old because they have family and they want to focus on that. Maybe they have other life goals and not just playing gambling so that will be their reason to stop gambling. We will need to know when we really stop gambling because if we just playing gambling, we can not enjoy our life especially with our family because they are our focus and will be the important thing for us.

There's no age limit when it comes to gambling, older people can choose to stop because I believe that priorities change when you're getting older. What used to give you excitement can become boring to you, so you'll just naturally discard them without having any regrets. Sometimes it could be because you're not getting any benefits from gambling anymore, maybe because of financial reasons or you can't bear the risks of gambling anymore, perhaps for health reasons. Old age comes with a lot of responsibilities and not being able to do everything that we love, so they should leave some food and habits, then engage in what suits their health.

Gambling for eternity is not a healthy for us and we also do not have to quit gambling due to aging circumstances.
There is always that stage in time when you I personal would have other phase in life that could be much regarded and then you would have to quick aside some leisure activities that doesn't really matters which outdoors and the gambling could be involved.
Just as you mentioned OP, "tackling or responsibilities" probably you don't feel the fun on gambling anymore due to aging.

But if we must quit gambling, we just have to do it when we think it's time and right anf not waiting for ages.
Agreeably too, when a gambler is addicted, they either don't have that remorse or relenting from gambling because they either chases endless profits on gambling or can not replace their funs of gambling from another.

A gambler who gets as much fun from other extracurricular activities as he used to get from gambling may choose to stop gambling. For instance, going fishing with his family may be that kind of activity. Another could be coaching the basketball team of his local community where kids look up to him and he finds satisfaction in it. These are some of the kind of things that one may choose over gambling as they age.

Gamblers do not stop gambling because of age but because they are broke or have made it from gambling that they decide to reduced the risk that they are taking but many still do not stop gambling completely. Gambling gets to the stage that it hold you tight through addiction and you can not stop gambling no matter how you try unless you get help from a professional and have your family or friends around your corner. I have seen people at old age still gambling because they are having fun or addicted. When they stop gambling for those that depended on gambling for money for all their life existence, what are they going to do to make the money then. Only when you have a very strong will can you decide to quit gambling and actually do it but it will still be difficult.

I believe it comes with the maturity that a person can bring towards how it influences the person. Imagine being able to control yourself and understand yourself more if you want to continue your gambling habits.

There are a lot of health concerns as well concerning age. So it could be a factor in stopping yourself from gambling. With additional life experience as well, it might be with increased wisdom and understanding.

This change will happen in my opinion when someone is about to get married. For example, someone who is still young with a habit of still liking to gamble and sometimes can even make him spend quite a lot of money, but this kind of behavior will be thought of by itself and will be considered when they already have a partner and want to go to a more serious level. I believe that someone will realize and reduce their gambling habits, but I don't know when exactly, I just think everyone will feel something like this.
Serious addicts will also feel this but it is not easy for them to return to the right path, they must be able to fight their desire to gamble and that is not an easy thing to do. Many people try to recover from their addiction but not a few fail to do it. This is a problem that I think happens to many individuals, but I don't know how it is with those who even though they are old still like to gamble.

I think age doesn't matter, but people quit because of reason.

Example you're in a relationship with a woman that don't like gambling, if you still want to be with her, you're forced to quit gambling.

1. Shame. It looks awful when really old people are seen gambling. By old, I mean those above 60 years.

There's no shame to see old people still gambling, just like this one https://www.reddit.com/r/ThatsInsane/comments/ynyfw0/americas_senior_citizens/

Old people have a lot time, they mostly bored because when they were young, they're very productive. Since they got bored, I will not be surprised if they might choose to play gambling in order to kill their free time.

I agree with you yes, but to some extent. It can only be possible for some old Gamblers to quit if they come into realisation that it is no longer helpful or needless to their age, but some old Gamblers never stop even when they are old. When they are stick with that mentality that they must surely win someday, they keep on hoping even when there is no strength. This set of old Gamblers don't change till death.

Addiction is just the word. Because it can certainly be addiction that can make an ageing man to still keep gambling even till that time of his life.

That's why there's that thing called, "Youthful Exuberance". Every old person passed through that, except those who were mentally deranged or imbecilic during this period in reference. That's when the adrenaline pumps more to indulge in adventure. At 40 and above, that urge gradually dies off.

There are just two factors I think can make one stop gambling as they age.

1. Shame. It looks awful when really old people are seen gambling. By old, I mean those above 60 years.

2. Illness.

There’s no age cap on gambling...if someone loves it, they can keep going, even at 100, as long as they're able. Winning makes you want to keep at it, so quitting while you’re making money or enjoying it doesn’t make much sense.

For me, I’m not that old yet, but I think I could still be betting at 70. Most of my gambling is online anyway. Hopefully, by then, I’d be mature enough to manage my losses better or maximize my wins...that’s all I’d want.

Maybe he was bored and tired of spending time and money gambling, so he preferred to take care of his family and children. Because for some gamblers, there comes a time when they are tired of their gambling routine and they realize that they have not been taking care of their families properly, so they decide to stop wasting money and time on gambling and focus more on taking care of their families. There must be a time like that, because not all gamblers continue to gamble until they are old, there is a time when they realize their mistake and prefer to stop gambling rather than continue doing it.

We know that the more we age, the more sensitive we are to external factors. Old people do not like to be stimulated anymore. Whether that be noise or lights. As we all know, casinos are often bright and exciting which if you are already aging won’t be as attractive anymore.

You could argue that they can still gamble online but maybe that can get too complicated for them which could just frustrate them especially if their lack of expertise in technology leads to losses of money.

Maybe the reason will be they can not focus with the gambling games so they decide to stop gambling. They will choose to focus to the other things and not just focus for themselves. Maybe they will have the other reasons why they decide to stop gambling which we don't know.

There will be a time for someone to stop from their routine because of getting old. That is a normal reason and they don't needs to have the other reason. Besides that, we can not just playing gambling forever in rest of our life.

A gambler starts gambling at the age of at least 18 years, and he starts gambling immediately and can gamble for a long time. But once the person stops gambling at the end of his life, as in old age he cannot earn money and the family's various needs increase as money becomes scarce.
When the gambler is unable to meet the financial crunch that causes him to stop gambling, there are many other people who experience illness in old age and the mental condition is not relieved at that time.
And everyone waits to get better until death at a late age, at which point they want to retire from gambling.
Gambling is usually behavioral and sometimes stops gambling, as the gambler is unable to maintain a sense of his own level, which causes him to fail to behave normally with people and gambling.
So any person wants to retire from gambling at the time when all these symptoms appear in old age.

All of those are valid reasons, I don't know if there are any other reasons that would really be more prioritized but financial issues and family time have become two things that are always considered when someone has entered old age, besides there is no point in continuing to gamble like young people unless it is only for entertainment that is done once week or once month.
I can't imagine the impact and risks that can be received when someone has grown old and is still gambler, let alone addicted, clearly this is something that is quite unfortunate and should be avoided by everyone when they have reached old age.

They got bored easily with repetitive games. That's also one of the good reasons why they will stop. Slots are repetitive and so are dice. Sports betting can also be boring sometimes especially if you are not really a big fan of the sport.
I think a gambler can retain his sports gambling but it will become minimal because of the responsibilities especially when your kids are at the age where they will go to school and when the wife has a job too.
But I do think you are right, financial security is also one of the top reasons. If a gambler recognizes that he is just wasting time and money in gambling, there a big chance that he will quit and just save the money.

It is very difficult and often unexpected when talking about the reasons why people stop gambling.
because, some of the following may be the reasons:
- Financial conditions
- Family reasons
- Bad dreams of losing everything

oh, but, is it true that it will make people easily stop gambling?
even I see many cases of addicted gamblers who are willing to go into debt, sell all their possessions, even commit crimes just to get money to gamble. and this often happens.

there are only 2 things that I believe that someone will really stop gambling:
- Being treated in a mental hospital as a patient (one of my family experienced it)
- Seriously ill / coma / died
