It varies from person to person. But yes, loneliness can one of a cause of gambling addiction. To be honest loneliness can be the cause of many things. Such as depression, anxiety, stress, Heart disease, stroke, dementia etc. Sometimes even death. That's why we see news's ow suicide everyday. Why do you think people suicide despite having everything? Its because of loneliness. So as you can see loneliness is more serious than you think, not just for gambling but for life.
Loneliness can affect us a lot if we don't have something to do. It is good for us to always keep ourselves busy so that we don't get addicted to our lonely lifestyle so it doesn't.ake us to look for ways to keep ourselves busy and get things done. Gambling is the only thing that could keep us busy without us knowing. It is good for us to gamble responsibly when we gamble and not do it in a way that would affect us too much or make us do something that does not worth our stress just like gambling for hours without making any profits.

I'm confused and looking for answers

If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?

How would you judge someone who says they don't gamble because it's fun, is that a sign of a gambling addiction?

If you are making $600 a day, that's $20000 in a month, and because you are only you start having interest to gamble, what do you think this is?

All these questions is been asked because someone close said all these and I think he are losing money and losing himself too, of all the discussions we had, these are the points I held unto.

Later he open up to have been using $500 for gambling per day, he said all these started when his wife left him, that he isn't into gambling at all, but I can't ask why his wife left him in the first place, but does loneliness make people become addicted to gambling or it's something else.

Being bored has a powerful effect on people, leading them to gamble. Some people find gambling news online and decide to give it a try, reasoning that since others are making money from it, they should be allowed to gamble too. If someone has ever become addicted to gambling while alone, I believe they may have the experience somewhere before. When someone gambles alone, they stand to lose a significant amount of money because no one will support them or tell them to stop. His wife cannot just left him and decided to gambling, would the gambling help to fix the problem? You can help him comprehend that gambling addiction leads to financial loss, after all, his wife left him, so he shouldn't have lost money at the same time, when he lose at the first time, he shouldn't have try it again. Not everybody likes to gamble. Bored will make people gamble, but in my opinion for those who still want to gamble.
It's just an excuse, there are many things we can do when we get bored and more over gambling is going to task you because it's not for free, so the only thing that can come to your mind when bored is gambling, that's a big fat lie

Things have change compare to the past, you can use your smartphone to watch tiktok for hours without you realizing that the time is already gone, a gambler once said that if he lose money he use TikTok to change his mood and I told him it doesn't matter, if he feel sad for losing he is using too much money on gambling, but he claimed that TikTok works.

If you are bored and gambling comes to your mind, it's because you feel like making money, it's not about been bored, you can do other things without risking your money to keep you entertained for as long as you want.

Well, you are actually right, there is a wide variety of choices to do as a distraction to eliminate the boredom to people, it would literally depend on what things they find interesting. But if you discovered gambling and got interested, for sure there would be a cycle when you lose money, you would try to recover it and if you win, you would try to win again which could cause addiction. For sure some gamblers could also do the things you said like watching videos on TikTok, but some boredom would be killed if you put some excitement feeling and thrill, into doing some simple activities. But as adults, we should be aware of things we should do as distractions cause we can already differentiate what could be bad and good for us. For me, sports could be a better distraction, it might not help you financially but it could help you to eliminate boredom and as well be physically and mentally healthy as you exercise like for example, basketball which is pretty popular in my country.
And interesting things would really be that definitely be that depending on someones interest because we know that each person does have their own approach when it comes to things on which when it comes to
entertainment or something that could really be able to ease up that kind of boredom and this is something that it would really vary from person to person. This is why whenyou do get bored or having that loneliness then it would really be just that normal for a human being to have kind of urge for them to find out on place on which they do seem that it could really ease out that boredom on which it is really that indeed likely on putting up yourself on dealing with gambling if you are that someone whose really that getting enjoyment with gambling then you would be mainly be going near or doing such thing
on the time that you are experiencing such condition.

Whether you do gamble or doing some physical activities or something that getting in line with your hobby or interest is the thing that you would
be most likely be that doing so.

Loneliness can lead one to gamble as it can turn out to be one way of entertaining themselves, but when we bring in the topic of gambling addiction..the cause has to be greed no two ways about it!!!

As far as am concerned ,the primary cause of gambling addiction centres around greed because as a gambler you never want to leave your screen as you see yourself as a winner but truth is winners know when to stop and when it comes to gambling we need to accept that we don't always win and need to try our luck on a later date.
If you are alone all the time, you will constantly want to gamble and you won't view it as anything when you keep loading games on each other. That is even the quickest method to become an addict. In the process of gambling, fictional money has a way of playing havoc with people's minds. For example, you might wish to buy a private aircraft with the possibility of winning; it's strange how people think. Instead of calculating money that hasn't been won, that's a separate thing if you do end up winning. People are just too greedy and the greed of people have help majority of this gambling companies.

Majority of them don't know when to leave the screen true they focus on it as if this gambling sites are owing them. They just want to win by all means and at the expense of everything. And that greed need to be controlled.

Loneliness will make a person seek someone to talk to and do something fun and choosing gambling to entertain oneself is probably the easiest. For men, I think this is not what necessarily happens since men could always go to the bar and talk to the barman or someone else.

But for women, it could be. Women socializing with someone new could end up in something else like an affair but a woman just in the slot machine is more fun.
To me, I feel like loneliness leading to gambling doesn't have that much difference, most of them just want to feel some sort of excitement and self-destruction, and gambling is the perfect way for someone to do both of that for the price of one. When you are lonely or having bouts of depression, you are subconsciously seeking out fun or any stimulation because you don't feel like having any interest in anything but at the same time you don't feel like doing too much effort to gain fun and so you go to the most convenient way to get those short-term happiness and stimulation which is gambling. Loneliness isn't a bad thing, it's part of being a human so to anyone that's feeling that I hope that you get better and take your time getting out of that pit.
Hahaha, you are right both of these things are obtained from gambling and when they use certain amount of money to start betting, they will immediately feel pleasure, but there are certain conditions where over time gambling does not provide pleasure but self-destruction.
This will come as time goes by so we just need to be prepared and try our best to stay safe without feeling afraid when something bad like that comes, as long as we only aim and think about pleasure then every defeat is not detrimental problem.
But some people who come when they are lonely and feel depressed can develop a crazy desire for the adrenaline rush of risking more money and then seeing the end result.
Lonely people are much more likely to do stupid things when they have difficulty feeling pleasure and enjoying entertainment.

Gambling is an activity full of risks, even though we are satisfied that we can be entertained, this risk must still be minimized as much as possible and when we have experienced it we must be able to accept it happily without any regrets.

It would really be a trigger specially if you are that someone whose really that doing some gambling then it would be likely that you would really be ending up with this kind of option
unlike into those people who are really that having some knowledge when it comes to certain sports or whatever hobby that they do have on which it would really be an option for them.
We do have difference choices and preferences when it comes to things on which it is really just that basing up on where you would be finding yourself to be that be enjoying.
If you do find out that you are really that enjoying when it comes to gambling then you would really be going.

I could say that it is really that one of the reasons too on why we are really that pushed on playing gambling because of being lonely but we know that losing
money makes even more lonely.  Huh

Well, loneliness is hard when the Person Intends it to be hard , because a person in solitude I think has to have a different attitude, because he is alone and has to be happy in some way, if a person is alone and Wants to die Well, he will die, Worse than that is what they Really want, but if it is a person who wants to get ahead with everything, then he will get ahead, and the game, in casinos, in real bets is not bad, it is a way to wake up and have a different means of Entertainment to get out of what you are Experiencing, you can do it, what happens is that you can do it but in a very moderate way, this so that you do not suffer disastrous consequences, because there are also other types of activities that can be stronger and do more than be stuck in a hole, I have my friend, his wife left him and at first he was very bad, he got depression and everything, with 23 years of marriage, children, and the wife didn't care It was important to leave him, I wanted him to be Calm, to pray, that she would Surely come back.

After 4 Months had passed, she came back, but he worried me, because he told me that his chest hurt a lot, he felt like his chest was opening up, that he wanted to die, and well, it's hard when you have a bad friend. I told him that he was going to look for another woman, he didn't want another woman, finally some friends over there told him that a very pretty friend liked him and he was getting on with the girl, and his wife is now doing it. search, now he tells me that he no longer loves his wife very much, nor the girl, but that he is Happy to have gotten rid of that pain , so the depression and everything that loneliness can cause he does not remove or do that gets addicted to the casino, the casino and all other means of entertainment and devicersion should be taken as that: "Fun" because otherwise a person gets carried away and dies Unnecessarily.

It's how one handles solitude, not just being alone. Your friend's experience shows that emotional resilience is vital. Response to solitude is the problem, not solitude itself. Solitude leads to entertainment gambling, a slippery slope. Its distracting, but is it helpful? Hardly. Gambling, while fun, should be added enjoyment.

Your friend's recovery from pain, depression, and recuperation shows human spirit's resilience. But consider: Is hopping from extreme to extreme healthy? From deep depression to casino escapades, isnt there a middle ground? Great that he's found relief, but at what cost? Finding lasting fulfillment and joy requires moderation. Would volunteering, reconnecting with friends, or exploring hobbies be healthier? These alternatives offer entertainment without the risk of addiction or financial loss of casinos.

Yes, maybe that's the case, but we have to see that if we, when we are in the middle of a very big problem , for a very big problem, sometimes the solution is very easy, very simple and can make a difference, then in this order of ideas We have to see what is best for us, because if he feels good like this, and it gives him happiness and he found his method for his well-being, it is something quite strange, but he got help with his bad moment, and because we are quite different people, well It is respected that things are like that, I don't blame him, because it is hard, in the case of a person's loneliness it is only if they want to feel alone, because a lonely person can do and have fun as they want, no one tells them anything, No one Blames you, well, in part it's not bad, you can get used to that way of life quickly because the rules you have are the same as those of that person, then it's not that bad, but if you see it from the point of view that you are Alone and there is nothing else in the world, of course you must feel bad.

all people have their own choices, including those who are lonely they will determine what to do so that they don't feel lonely, but seeing from the development of technology now with the number of gambling advertisements that are always on every internet and people who are 100% always holding their cellphones at all times it will be easy for them to gamble when they are lonely, because the process for depositing is not so difficult and easy for everyone to do, If they can't control themselves, then they might have a chance to gamble when they are lonely. And even if they have friends to chat with maybe they will still do it because most people today prefer to gamble online rather than playing online games, and you can also be sure that the percentage of people who play online games and those who play online gambling, online gambling is more played by many people today. With its easy access and can be done using only a cell phone. so they tend to prefer online gambling. As you said when they are lonely they will do or have fun as they like, it's true. So it's natural that lonely people can do gambling, because along with the development of technology that supports today, which is all easy to do just by using a handheld cellphone that everyone has in general.

The fact that a person goes to a casino, well, it is not bad , it is something that can be good, because it is to be distracted , to enjoy, then it is not bad from the point of view that you have to control your money and not allow become addicted, because things do get complicated there, because if a person feels alone and also has an addiction, it is a very ugly mix , at least having friends is the only thing, even so, a person cannot throw away their life Thus , because things tend to be quite strong when a person feels this way, one has to look for more fun options to have a better time, the casino is a very good option, only if the person is mature in terms of gambling. chance and casinos, that's why it's good to always have a lot of reason in our actions and not get carried away by emotions because it's very easy to follow impulses and lose money , in the meantime , that's the premise , taking care of money.

People's perspectives are different, so there are those who think it's bad and good. But what you said is true, many people are lonely and do gambling so that they become addicted even though they only play with the beginning just to try but you can be sure that sooner or later they will be addicted to gambling, especially with the situation that is always lonely, it is very vulnerable for them to do gambling when they are lonely. Having a friend to chat with who stays away from the hat talking about gambling is very rare, because many people today most likely know about gambling and the chatter of every gathering of people more or less they know about gambling that is busy in the community. it's true that you said casinos are the best choice if they are adults, in the sense that they can play wisely. is that right?
By gambling wisely they can get pleasure and entertainment by gambling, but if they are lonely and gamble by not being able to control their emotions and control themselves it will only make things worse, of course it will harm them themselves who will feel it.

Loneliness is just a part of living, our Loneliness exists if our mind Recognizes it and gives it the order to feel alone, so when we are in any activity, or in our home we always look for ways to do things better,  For example, if we are at home we feel like doing anything, and who tells us no? Nobody, if we want we go and do it, and if we don't want to go out or do something then we don't do it, we have our complete freedom, so in this order of ideas when we are in a time of healthy environment and we don't like loneliness That is what causes us some Terror, or stress, or something that does not make us feel alone, some people resort to having or going out to other places, traveling and doing any type of activity if we stick to doing any type of activity. thing, what can we do? Go to a casino? yes, why not? Does going to a casino mean that we are going to be violent, addicted people? No, the company has a sometimes very erroneous approach to casinos , for this Reason when we are in the middle of action of any kind we must think about the best for ourselves.

Is addiction the best thing for anyone? I don't think so, nor are we looking for a way to lose money, if we see that in a casino we allocate about 30usd and we lose it, are we going to continue having more money? No, we wouldn't even want to be stupid, because the money that was spent there, but what we could lose, the rest of our money could be compromised, and that with 230usd we could have had fun all afternoon making small bets, resting, playing in other games, and it just so happens that when we are playing casino games time flies, and when we see the clock a lot of time has passed, that happens because of our great commitment to concentration on our activity, and that does not mean that we go away Addicts.

Loneliness can make one do a lot of things, get addicted to a lot of things, and do so many crazy things, but all that depends on your preference and what actually gets your mind off whatever you are passing through at that moment. Like you said, your friend's wife left him. I assume that the incident has broken him emotionally, and he is actually looking for something to do in order to get out of this situation.

Some people can get addicted to alcohol, getting themselves drunk more frequently, while others are never drunk. Some get used to smoking, and some people also get used to taking hard drugs.

So, in my conclusion, I think loneliness can really make people do different kinds of things that they can easily get addicted to.

I'm confused and looking for answers

If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?
A feeling of loneliness can easily lead to depression. Somebody in that situation can do anything to feel better; some resort to drinking, some play games and I wouldn't be surprised if some can choose gambling as a solace. So, yes loneliness can be the reason for some people to indulge in gambling and if that be the case, their are chances such person will perform so badly in gambling. This is because the are not with the right frame of mind and that will affect their decision making.

 
How would you judge someone who says they don't gamble because it's fun, is that a sign of a gambling addiction?
I'm not among those who think they can gamble for fun because there is no fun in loosing your money. The winning rate is very low and the only thing that makes the difference is that win to loss ratio for gambling is very high which is as high as 1:10 to sometimes 1:1000. Meaning one win can offset several losses. Gambling is a serious business and should be treated as such and not like some random video game. I saw a ticket of a $100k bet shared here...that make me begin to wonderful who will place a bet of such amount and call it al for fun!

It could, but also gambling could make someone lonely as well, we need to focus on that part a lot more. Someone who gambles because they are lonely, could be lonely because they are gambling. Not a lot of people would want to be in relationship with someone who would be spending all their money and keep losing at casinos, why would they want to put their life at the middle of something that is a psychological issue?

Also, because you are gambling and even maybe "chatting" with people there, you may think that's good enough for your life, and you get to work during the day and gamble during the night and not socialize outside or meet with new people. That could be quite a terrible thing without a doubt.

With the rate of suicide increasing due to loneliness, it would be better to embrace responsible gambling than taking one's life. Gambling might not be the ideal solution to boredom but it could assist in the recovery process for people who are suffering from depression caused by loneliness. Although I will recommend other means of fighting loneliness such as visiting friends, playing video games, watching movies, or seeking professional help if gambling seems to be the only activity that gives the person relief, there is nothing wrong with engaging in it responsibly. I am by no means advocating for gambling addiction but it is better than having suicidal tendencies. It is just a matter of choosing from two evils which one is manageable.
I don't know whether it is true that suicide cases are increasing due to loneliness and in several countries we might see various news about suicide cases, the majority of which are due to being in debt, financial problems and also love problems.
These three are the main factors in someone ending their life, not loneliness.

But it is true that gambling provides really great effect of pleasure and satisfaction that cannot even be obtained from other activities, so it is only natural that many gamblers have reasons for being lonely or having nothing to do when they decide to gamble.
And about gambling being able to help relieve depression or stress, I agree because when someone gambles they feel entertained even though they have to give up a certain amount of money which might be lost more quickly.
Just don't lose control or overdo it because when this happens it doesn't relieve depression but adds burden that is even more complicated to feel.

In my opinion loneliness can make more addiction on gambling. People feel depressed when they are lonely they have no one to talk no one to share their feelings etc. if you are a gambler and you feel loneliness and you don't have anyone to share your feelings you spend a lot of time on your gambling. Because of you want to move on from your loneliness you spend a lot of time for doing gambling. That helps you to move on from loneliness but giving extra time for move on from loneliness that's creates a huge addiction on gambling.

Gambling addiction is a bad habit. If you feel lonely then don't do over gamble for move on loneliness makes friends talk with your family members do limitation gambling and enjoy with your money to move on from loneliness.

Yes, this is indeed prone to happen, if they have already gambled when they are alone or lonely, they can just do gambling because I think that even in gambling there is pleasure that they will feel even though the great number of them lose, but this way of thinking has become common for gamblers because they have no other choice, sometimes when there are other choices they are lazy to do so they choose to take this (gambling).

It's true what you said. Maybe when they are lonely they should look for other things, such as talking with friends or family, but in my opinion, even talking with friends is also prone to gambling because many people are currently gambling so that the discussion of gambling has become a common thing that everyone usually talks about, so the point is to have good self-control, so that you can divert the feeling of wanting to gamble with other things.
It is true that there is no real reason why gambling becomes addictive to relieve loneliness. It will generally depend on the individual's own will and if a person can control himself he will never become addicted to gambling and will look for alternative ways to relieve loneliness. Loneliness can be overcome even if you don't get a chance to focus on yourself many times. So it is important to pay attention to yourself you can keep your mind healthy by exercising regularly and following a healthy diet. Lazy brain also causes loneliness. Always stay engaged in activities of interest.

With a lazy brain it can indeed make them interested in gambling, and with the current boom in online gambling which makes it easier for them to access gambling using the gadgets they have. By diverting the desire to gamble, maybe they can do what you said or hang out with their friends which will allow them to eliminate the desire to gamble. But because currently there is a lot of online gambling so that it can be done by anyone, including their friends, they will definitely recognize gambling. So sometimes even chatting with friends can actually increase the desire to gamble, because most likely they will also know about gambling that is currently busy in all circles.
