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.
To this end, I think that the health challenges that come with old age would be the reason that people in old age may not be gambling. Because if we agree that financial insecurities would be a reason, there are old people who are rich and can afford to keep gambling if they were really healthy in strength and mental agility to research and analyse their games but if you don't have health then you would be sorting out yourself in medication. I guess the reason for the popular saying that "health is wealth". Some people see gamblers as people who don't care about family emotions etc and so it won't be out of place to also think that an addict old age gambler would still think so much of the family. He may even go into drinking alcohol and be cared for by the family
. So it is about being healthy and wealthy to know if an old aged addict gambler would stop.
What do you think are other reasons why gamblers may choose to stop gambling while they are aging?
Old age comes with health challenges. Then you have to live responsibly. When you are at certain age, you won't appreciate deriding comments and society also ascribe you to behave in certain ways and to be in certain places. So for an old person to be seen in a physical casino with young people, he may not be taken seriously especially in societies where gambling is seen as juvenile activities.
