I have never heard,seen or thought about gambling being something that people can use to self-harm. I have met self-harmers but they were usually the physical kind.  If a person becomes so clinically depressed that they decide to harm themselves by harming their finances, they could definitely go to a casino and just bet it all on a single game. I have once felt something similar when I lost a lot of money in one bet. I bet a large sum of money again out of a "vengeful" feeling towards myself for losing.

But what kind of prevention help could that person receive before he decided to waste away his life's savings because it was one of the worst days in his life and he was emotionally compromised?

Money laundering is an illegal economic activity the process of disguising the source of illicit wealth by converting part or all of that wealth or investing it in a legitimate place so that the income earned from the invested wealth appears legitimate, many consider online gambling and casino financial piracy to be more of a form of gambling.
My brother in Christ, I didn't ask for the definition of money laundering and I don't know why that consists about 80% of your post. I was asking for the connection of money laundering and gambling abuse. What part of my question did I ask for the definition of money laundering. I guess you need to reach your posting quota?

Thanks for telling me what money laundering is though, I thought it was about washing money literally with bleach and fabric softener.

To me there is no clear connection between them, they seem rather two different concepts which rarely can collide in a realistic scenario.

Money laundering is about cutting the illegal trail of the money, which gambling abuse is a behavioral problem. The only scenario which comes to mind would be if a person who tries to launder money through a casino ends up losing control and becomes a problem gambler.

However, that is very situational... Both problems has little to do with each other, at first glance.

Too much of everything is abuse, you need to sit and think about it, what will happen if you drink too much? What will happen if you eat too much? What will happen if you use your power on your fellow citizens because you are a high ranking official? Everything comes with a bad ending, this makes gambling not left out if this discussion, if you gamble too much you will probably lose everything because thinking straight as a gambler is very hard, it's not common to see a gambler who still take care of his family, the majority of gamblers always end up broke and someone else take over their home and they lost their wives to responsible men.

To live healthy there is an amount of sugar we must consume per day, also salt and others, to be a responsible gambler you must have an amount in mind that you are ready to lose, not going into a casino and betting all money you have in your bank account or Bitcoin wallet.
If a gambler loses everything, including his family, he should introspect on what he has done because he has abused gambling to the point where he has to go through such bad things. Even if he can bounce back and try to quit gambling, he will still find it difficult to build a relationship with his family because his family will surely be disappointed by what he does.

But there is no other way if he still thinks he needs to do complete self-healing to give up gambling forever. The abuse of this gambling can greatly impact gamblers, so those who have not experienced it must be careful.

What is the purpose of quitting gambling when you have lost everything and sold everything for gambling. You have lost your family, your near and dear ones and you do not have anything else to sell for gambling. So i don't think anyone can return from this state of mind and start living a normal life again.

An gambling addiction or a gambling abuse should be stopped at initial stages, else it will just ruin your life forever.

People do a lot of things to play gambling and one of these people gets addicted to a different purpose because they win or because they lose a lot of money.
Gambling entertainment just gives what they are offered in the end its the person's responsibility if they will continue this expensive habit or not. The reason why some of them can't control themselves is cause of suicidal due to the amount of debts and one of their decision to get away from it.

That is the sad truth.People who have difficulties in controlling their emotions usually do these kind of deeds which ends up being critical.There is unfortunately no real solution to that as this will continue to happen just as it has happened so far and these people will not cease to exist.These are really low character people and they should since the first start know themselves of being weak and should not approach gambling at all in the beginning.Casinos are doing a lot in this regard by implementing the gamble responsibly in different ways yet we have not a real solution to this problem.
It's sad for those who really don't want to get out of gambling addiction, even though it's clear that many victims take suicide just because they have a lot of debt from losing to gambling, let alone being abandoned by their families because of gambling, obviously it's really something sad if an addict continues ambition to beat the casino and continue to feel confident that you can make big money there.

Addicts must be more aware that not everyone is rich from gambling and always make the mindset more positive that gambling is not really good for him if he himself cannot control himself, gambling will be even better if the gambler himself is able to control himself from addiction. but if on the contrary you should never do or try to gamble. it will be difficult when we really go in and gamble too deep.

No, instead there are lots of abusers or gambling addicts who commit crimes.
As an example of money laundering in casinos and even worse, there are gambling addicts who are willing to commit criminal acts such as stealing, mugging and extortion just to be able to get some money so they can continue their gambling activities.
Even though it's not much, it's all the negative impact of those who can't control themselves when they are in the gambling industry.
I did a quick Google search and yeah, it seems I was misinformed or I was just not aware that gambling addicts are capable of committing crimes because in my hometown, most people that commit crimes like theft, robbery and other stuff to get money are mostly drug addicts, the statistics in my Google search is not to be taken fully though as I believe that a proper academic study should be the reference for this kind of stuff.

How is money laundering part of gambling abuse though? I get that it's a crime but I don't think that launderers want to spend their money on gambling.

Either the financial institutions have suffered a lot. Gambling addiction is often associated with money laundering but self-control is important in gambling if you are right this kind of activity will not have any effect.
Allow or permit me to disagree with you a bit, gambling addiction has nothing to do with laundering money, before associating addiction to gambling to laundering money, first find out what exactly is the true meaning of laundering money..
I think i explained what money laundering truly mean in one of my comments on another thread, give me a moment let me get a link to it as i cant start explaining it over and again..

Ok, so here you go .. https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.62624645

Money laundering is a crime that is not related to gambling addiction in any way, by this, i mean that its a crime anybody can commit, even a non gambler can commit money laundering as long as they have the intention, so being addicted to gambling is nothing related to laundering money.

Some people do some extraordinarily bad things just to fund their addictions and most of these people are poor and choose to gamble their money instead of saving it. That's why when they lose it all, they also lose their minds as well because there is no turning back for them, and since they don't have any multiple sources of income, they ended up stealing other's properties and some worse cases, they hold up in the dark streets to forcibly stole money from students or workers that are passerby.

the pressure experienced by gamblers who are addicted and have a lot of debt is enormous. especially if the gambler has no more assets to cover debts. no one is to be blamed for this except the gambler himself who is not responsible for what he does.
because gambling has been around for a long time. bad things that happen to gamblers because of their irresponsible actions will continue to happen. whether it's suicide, robbery, or even disappearing after being burdened with debt and unable to pay. Such cases will always be around us.
They can avoid that pressure by reducing their gambling activities and choosing other things that may not need to use money. Reducing the desire to gamble will prevent them from losing money at gambling, where they can use the money for other, more useful things. So they won't do things that might violate the rules of the casino and the gambling account will also be safe. Moreover, if they reduce their gambling activities, their gambling account will not be suspected of doing something illegal by the casino. And that person can also go back to gambling whenever he wants so he won't have any trouble.

Hi guys..

What is Gambling Abuse?
Gambling abuse is simply defined as gambling with a motive that is different from the real purpose why gambling is in existence.

There is no spelt out rule or statement that says that the essence of gambling is for entertainment. Gambling purpose is not for entertainment only because both the owners of the gambling companies wants to make profits because they are into business and the people that are gambling still want to win big because they invested money. So it is only a few people that see it as an entertainment.
It is just up to you to treat gambling how you see it, but there is no hard statement or information that says that the purpose of gambling is for entertainment. Gambling means different thing to different people and also the owner of the casino.

Maybe you missed the part which is risk of losing and winning profit is the entertainment part on gambling or else you are just playing a normal games. You're correct that players aim is to have profit against the casino and no one plays on gambling just to play without the goal of having profit because that's the reason why we gamble, to have fun through our profit.

Entertainment has different form and its the risk/profit is makes gambling entertaining. I also disagree on the comment that gambling is just a source of so we should not aim to have profit since that's simply tossing money to the casino and how come you will have fun on ga,bling without aiming for profit.  Cheesy

Not all gambling is wrong, in my opinion we have to position our way of gambling that is good, correct and disciplined according to applicable rules, so don't think that gambling is wrong. some people gamble to get additional family finances and there are also people who like it as a hobby and some just to fill their spare time.
 
I see people around me who have been gambling financially for a long time, their families are quite advanced, before they were still barely able and that is what motivated me to gamble, yes even though not all of them are successful, at least I know about gambling and of course I know all the consequences.

Gambling will go wrong depending on how the person plays and arranges their game. As a hobby or entertainment, but if it is used as the main income in my opinion it is not good, because the risk of gambling is very high when you lose. Gambling can get a person addicted if they can't control how much they have to bet, so there are no limits. from what you said that some of your friends are financially advanced enough by gambling, it means your friends have a good strategy in gambling. But some negatives will still be there, as much as possible to stay on the right track and spend minimal money on gambling.

Yeah, but if you look at it, even if you enjoy the game, as some point, and unless you really have deep pockets and money to burn, you will have to think on how much money you actually spend on gambling. And maybe this alone will make you stop or at least lose some interest on playing with fun because of the total and accumulated money that you have lost.

Maybe just schedule like 1 or 2 days for gambling and that's it. However, we all know that it's very different for those who are really hook and addicted. As it is very difficult to get it out of the system unless they really wanted to quit for good.

I think it's not about abuse, but not knowing what it could do to you in the long term is the problem. Imagine, it's you who is being abused, not gambling. Gambling must be controlled, and your urge to gamble should be managed. It's weird to use "abuse" with "gambling" because it's not being used as something to be abused.

The sad thing about that is that people already know and have the knowledge for what is coming towards them if they chose to walk down that path without any precautions with them yet they still do it anyway with the hopes that they could bring a massive amount in their lifetime by gambling, but in the end, they found their own selves in the exact opposite situation because they fail to set boundaries before starting. By that time, they are already one of the addicted gamblers even if they themselves don't want to be in that position.
They are aware but can't control their self just because of the pleasure and excitement that they get from gambling and they forget to stay in control. I also don't like the term abuse and its ok to use the term, irresponsible gambler because this is all about you and you discipline, so if you fail to do this then its not an abuse, its all your fault in the first place. Gambling is there to do their business, and if you become addict, that's your emotional problem so what you can do right now is to think how to control yourself and be responsible.
Yes, the word looks as if like the gambling platform have cheated or forced you to gamble. Gambling is pure business and the same is taken forward by them. It is upto the gambler whether to use it or not. Further the control and other things were upon the gambler and not on the gambling platform. Only thing the gambling platforms provide is a warning that already they've lost so and so in the last 24hrs or won specific amount. This might give some reminder to stop for the day.
