Topic: Do your parents know about your gambling habit ? - page 11. (Read 1193 times)

My parents don't know anything about my gambling. I don't tell them anything about gambling. Because if they come to know then they will develop a negative attitude towards me. Also, if I lose gambling, I sometimes arrange money from my family in other ways. If they find out about my gambling habit, they will stop supporting me financially. They will start distrusting me. I think it's not just my parents but many family members don't like gambling. Many do not find any difference between gambling addicts and drug addicts. So I always prefer never to share my gambling habits with others.

No one knows I gamble so I can be calm while I gamble. But even though they knew, it seemed they didn't mind because they already knew what happened to me beforehand. They know I can take care of myself well so they won't ask any questions and just keep quiet. And until now, I gamble online so that no one knows. Moreover, I gamble at night when everyone is asleep so no one knows. But I don't gamble too often so I don't have any problems with gambling now. Moreover, I can still control myself well.

Telling my parents that I utilized some hours of my working days to place wagers on games, trust me when I say, they would be really mad at me. Ofcourse they would do what they're expected to as any other responsible parents, shouting and giving me advises about th strict negative consequences that follows, for me, I've chosen to remain mute with my activities cornering the gambling system. Addiction is definitely not easy to stop, but with the provided aides from our parents and love ones, quitting can be made easier because we already have in mind and determined to quit notwithstanding the current attributes that follows.

the very first time that i told  my parents specifically my father is when I really need help and seeking theirs is my only option before my own family blown up.
I asked Him to help me out as I am an addicted gambler and losing everything each day in gambling , even drowning to debt from one place to another because of continues addiction.
lucky that i managed to get out with the help of my parents and family and now am a proud freshly living .

I hide nothing from my parents since younger time , even My marriage is not hidden from my Mother and father.
so Yes they knew my gambling activities and even joining me in casino sometimes if had a chance.
they knew me enough to know how to handle things .
so i think their reaction is very normal and happy to what i am doing and what i have done in life.

My Mom is too religious for me to tell her , or maybe she has an Idea because we have so much common friends and some relatives that i come along when going to casinos .
but I am not telling her directly , i love the way we are casual about my vices as it is truly prohibited in Her religion .
I love my Mom so i don't wanna disappoint her just because of gambling that i am into , in which I only want to enjoy and try my small luck once a week at least or 2?

Beginning days of gambling were known by my mother. During those days I used to show her see what I've won and I remember mentioning about the VIP bonus provided on reaching bronze or silver. See they've given me reward just for using their platform. Those are my winning days and soon after that I started to loss and I don't had earning. By the time my mother understood and she never said anything, but when there is need for emergency money she says go loss everything and now look for borrowing. From their I never said anything and she slowly forgot things as I never say anything about gambling. Hope soon I'll recover out of the debts caused due to my gambling.

Yes, in my case they have known about it for many years. I am a responsible adult who plays poker and earns money with it, I have not had gambling problems or anything. They weren't very happy at first and it's not something we talk about a lot because deep down it's a world they don't know about, but they do know about it. From time to time, like once a year, they ask me if I still play, and the truth is that I play less and less.

Nope, and I don't have a plan on letting them know that I do gambling. The first reason is because of the normal norms; gambling is a bad image for many, so I know my parents will not be happy about that or they will be concerned about me. The second reason is because I don't want them to be involved, or, let's say, as long as I don't let them involved in my habit, then I think not letting them know that I do gambling is good as long as anything that could happen because of my habit will only affect me.

Parents don't need to know what their child will do when the child is an adult, whether it's gambling or other activities. gambling is always considered bad by society and our parents think the same, it is better to hide it from them so that we can still do it freely but it must be underlined if we decide not to tell us if we have to bear the risks we will bear.
Don't involve parents when your lose in gambling, especially if your take out a loan and can't pay back the bill, your parents will be responsible for your actions. Therefore, if we decide not to involve our parents, we must be clever at gambling and always use control over ourselves correct.

Yes, my parents know that I am a gambler and they don't have a problem with it as long as I don't use their money and don't play too much. Moreover, I gamble online, so my parents are not too worried about me staying long at the casino and getting involved in problems with people there or others.

I think majority of us here are already old enough to gamble and not even bother to tell our parents. But in any case I will be like in the teen's definitely I might have to hide it from my parents in the beginning.

Just like when I used to smoke, I started very young and then hide from my parents, until I was old enough already, (I have jobs and about to settle down).

And it could really depends on the situation, if your parents are gambling and so you are influence by it. So it might be hard to hid it from them and on the other hand you might strike a conversation about your gambling and if you win or lose.

Just as you said, not everyone lives with their parent and most people here are married, living with their family. I don't think I had anything to do with gambling, back in the days living with my parents. Gambling was seen as a notorious act in my locality. Most young adults who gamble, either stole their parents funds, or took money that isn't theirs to play. A responsible parent, will never allow their child to gamble, as it will have a negative impact on them while they approach adult hood.

My parents know that I gamble. How much or how often, they probably don't know. But they know that I have been gambling for a long time because betting can be openly discussed in our household. But they're probably not worried because they know that I'm not addicted to it.

My first gambling experience was literally playing with money. I was still in my primary school years when I started playing with coins. My mother would be angry to know that. She'd scold me.

If we're specifically talking about online gambling, they most likely don't know because my parents are the type to worry about even the little things. It'll only give them an unnecessary problem to worry about and I remember answering a similar question here. Even though they also gamble, I still think it's better to keep this to myself because they're the kind of parents who would be overprotective when they find out you're doing something harmful like gambling.

No, and I won't tell it even if I get drunk.
That's my own habit and they have their own that I might not know. As an adult, there's no need to tell everything to your parents unless you are suffering from gambling addiction. That should be told so they can help you even if you are already an adult.
It's not because of being shy to talk to them about their gambling habit but it's because of privacy and respect to them. They are living a peaceful life now, let them be. They've done their share of stressful years working for us, taking care of us, and everything, it's time for them to take a break and just enjoy the rest of their life in this world.
I think this is just a question for underage people but I doubt you will find them here in the forum whatever the aim of your question is. Survey or social experiment.

There is nothing wrong with people telling their parents and other relatives and friends that they keep playing in physical casinos and online casinos. gambling is not something people should be ashamed of. How many rich people have gambled and shown it publicly? The answer is simple and clear: there are many people who play in physical casinos and online casinos and who show their faces, they are not ashamed to admit that they play in the casino. I'm not ashamed to tell everyone that I play at an online casino. In other words, I'm not afraid to tell my mother, brothers and everyone in my family that I play at the casino

In the last few months I've noticed that a lot of people are talking about gambling addiction, they're asking strange questions about whether or not they should tell their parents that they gamble or when their wife forbids them from gambling whether they should obey or not, so I'm thinking that these people seem to be afraid to tell their relatives in the real world that they like gambling and that they are playing. and there is nothing wrong with gambling, I keep saying this here on the forum, the number of people addicted to gambling is very small, there are many things that are addictive too. So we shouldn't look at gambling as something bad or something to be ashamed of. If the person was drinking beer, they would tell their parents straight away, so why don't they also tell them that they play?

I play online, I don't tell anyone about my gambling activities. not because I'm afraid of the bad response I could receive. but it's more like me who is more closed to anyone, and that's not only in my gambling activities but also throughout my life.
only a few playmates and work friends know about my gambling activities. where they are also gamblers. and I hope it will remain a part of me and not involve anyone else.

but if my parents knew, I'm sure they would just give me advice to be responsible for my own choices. maybe tell me to try to stop, that's what most parents do with their children regarding their perspective on gambling.

I am still living under my parents care so they are aware of most of my activities.


Yes they know that I gamble every now and then, though not in a regular basis.


They are not fond of gambling but they let me enjoy the fruit of my labor where I sometimes engage in some spending spree.  They just remind me to have a moderated gambling session and be a responsible gambler not using the money that is already compromised on the family's expenses.

Their is extent that you may grow and some people or your parents will not question you when you gamble and that is why we do says that gambling is basically meant for adults not children, if your parents is the one feeding you and you are still dependent on them when you gamble they have the right to question you, but a situation whereby you gamble with your hard earn money I bitcoin that their nothing will make you to gamble and someone question you, because the money you use and gamble is your own money, so gambling have to do with strategies and plan.
