Gambling addiction has been known to be associated with serious funds loss, bankruptcy, unsettled loan involvements, properties auctioning and other irritable financial behaviors that depicts frustration and desperations from the victims.
A little more observation shows clearly other effects of such addiction to just not the addict alone, but those around them, be it friends, family or neighbors. Here are a few of them:

Negative impression on children/ dependents: His addiction can corrupt the good intentions of the younger generation looking up to him for inspiration, they may grow up to see gambling as a way of life and follow the wrong footprints.

Decrease in overall productivity of individual: Addiction reduces the value that you add to wherever you are engaged career wise as you are mostly distracted with gambling thereby reducing your commitment and dedication to your duties, this might significantly reduce the overall company productivity and lead to job loss.

health Challenges: A gambling addict is always under pressure and tension and as such is prone to health challenges like high blood pressure, depression, and on the part of his people, they might be suffering from the psychological implications of his lifestyle which includes social stigma.

violence : most gambling addicts are prone to violent behaviors owing to anger issues from much losses and this might greatly affect his relationship with his immediate family and people around him who might start seeing him as a wild animal.

your contributions are very much welcome as we learn together the many demerits of gambling addiction to inform both those currently addicted and intending addicts of the dangers of that irrational lifestyle.

I agree with your topic. The worst thing about the behavior of an addicted person is that not only he suffers (financial problems, social and health problems) but also his loved ones and those around him, including friends, family, children, spouses, if any.
But there is another negative aspect associated with gambling. When a person wins a large sum one evening by making a successful bet, then it will become increasingly difficult to earn money by simple labor. After all, it takes a lot of effort, but the financial reward is much less

Again, to know how to gamble well and wisely, first we have to be able to control our emotions when playing, manage the risk of losing a lot of money by setting a stop loss or stop profit and what is no less important is not to use all the money we have, including money for family needs, in gambling. .

I didn't know gamblers needed such a feature to stem gamblers' greed.
which becomes a loss for gamblers only when they cannot control their gambling well. wise people will not use their money to gamble. because they know the risks.
we just need to be reasonable gamblers. Play with the allocation that has been determined. If you win, withdraw, if you lose, you will come back the next day when there is another allocation of funds. the most important thing is, we know when to play and when we don't need to force ourselves to play.
At least you can limit yourself from excessive addiction to gambling. However, if the boundaries were higher or thicker, wouldn't that be even better?
so that later gambling addiction will be reduced. You can gamble calmly if your playing mentality is strong.

Yes applying some boundaries and also self-control is indeed an approach that is always suggested in gambling, I will never get tired of saying this to anyone especially some of my friends who also gamble, because humans always cannot avoid the name "forgetting" due to emotions that dominate because of something like losing and this idea or suggestion will at least be able to help them to remember that precautions are much more important when you are involved in gambling.

Doing or applying higher or strong and firm limits is definitely better, as you said that this way we will be able to gamble more calmly and avoid the possibility of addiction, but unfortunately it is a fact that only a few people can have this kind of mindset that leads to preventive measures because they are always focused on winning opportunities so it is difficult to limit their gambling activities.

Addiction is like a resistance disease that take more time to be handle if possible, for a gambler to be termed addicted gambler it take great discipline to mange this kind of situation. A chronic addicted gambler is ready for any situation that may arise, the face people with harshness, they don't want to lose, is not as if they don't know that losing is inevitable but the want to be wining always, this is why they are addicted in the first place, an addicted gambler doesn't believe in missing chances, they believe that any day they don't place bet, they gave missed a great chance of winning.
Gamblers should know that once you become addicted, you will now be an object of mockery and you family will be seen as irresponsible household, so in other to avoid this, you should gamble responsibly.

All matters with;

1. Strong self control
2. Strong will
3. Discipline
4. Responsible
5. Wary/Sensible on whats happening.

If you are this kind of person on who do have that kind of behavior or quality then you arent someone who would really be ending up on getting addicted.
Its not really that bad to play gambling as long you are really that responsible. You wont really be having any issues if you are really that

So, if you simply approach someone who is addicted to gambling, there's a possibility for you to also do gambling? I don't believe that merely approaching an addicted gambler will put you in the same situation as them. It's more about how a person takes action and communicates with the gambler to make them understand their current situation. This is typically done by people who are trusted by the gambler.
This can happen if the person who approaches a gambling addict offers him or her the experience of gambling while the person who approaches the gambling addict does not have good self-control. If someone sees what a gambler does and can win from a gambling game, they will be curious and want to know what it's like to gamble. He will probably try it when he is home and visits the casino because he will remember the name of the casino site.

But if someone wants to help a gambling addict, they really need to communicate with the gambling addict so that they can understand the situation and can immediately help the gambling addict. But if gambling addicts don't want to admit the fact that they are addicted to gambling, it will be difficult for those who want to approach the gambling addict because the gambling addict will refuse to get treatment for their gambling addiction.

Yes, of course, gambling addiction, and other addictions for that matter, can affect your entire life and even the lives of those people important to you. In worst cases, even your neighbors and complete strangers.

Financial loss is just one among many effects. Your finances is just one aspect of your life that is going to be affected. Addiction can affect your family as well because you don't have time for them, you easily get angry with them, you can't give them their needs, etc.

You would also even lose your job after a while for being always late, can't focus on your assignments, having quarrel with workmates or even your bosses, etc.

Everything could be affected if it is not addressed.

Gambling addiction has many negative impacts on family, social and personal life. The changes in behavior shown by gambling addicts are very clear, they prefer to be angry and easily carried away by emotions and commit other violence and it is not uncommon for them to commit domestic violence. Whether violence against their wives or children as a result of their gambling. They suffer more and more losses, there are no addicts gambling that can recover their losses, the more they chase losses, the more they will face bankruptcy, economic damage and not being able to manage their money well due to their addiction.

The points you mentioned above are true points experienced by gambling addicts, when they are married then they are role models for their children. If their parents are gambling addicts then a child grows up following in his father's wrong footsteps and the same goes for his health because Gambling addiction can slowly damage a person's mental state and when they are no longer able to bear the burden, gambling addicts can usually do things out of control, such as committing suicide, because that is the only way their problem can be resolved.

Yes gambling does more  harm  than  just mere financial loss  reasons for my opinion is that, addiction simply means a particular  state  of behaviour  that an individual finds himself that  he/she finds it difficult to resist or deviate from a particular life. Gambling addiction imposes harm  on a person expecially when the has consistently  been bet, it has not become  part and pasule of the person's lifestyle.

However, hopefully the must always develop the urge to gambling  everyday hence the person  has a daily  programme financially so he/she can have  a staking  power, in this case the gambler  sees losing  to be a normal occurancies that takes  place  one in a while. So even  when  the loss is more  than  the winner it doesn't  consigns the gambling his only ojective  is to keep  playing because every addicted  gambler believe that no matter  the loss  a bigger winning  is on the way.

So sometimes this gambling addiction  harm van make an individual  not to meet up with his demostic responsibility, personality needs, and needs  of peer group.

So to my own opinion in evaluation is that gambling addiction does more  harm than mere financial loss mentally ,emotionally and financial loss to addiction and  also active  gamblers.

A whole lot depends on finances to thrive. Virtually every part of our life is intertwined with our finances, if this is the case, then, whatever affects our finances gravely affects almost every part of our life.

The gambling habit is in direct contact with one's finances and if is having a bad effect on a person then virtually every part of that person's life has same effect felt. In conclusion, a financial loss in gambling is also a harm in other financial areas.

The thing is that gambling addition is something that makes money to go out from your hands when you are not working in anywhere because he will spending your money in gambling everyday by day and that will be giving you a unnecessary expenses for you to be spending more money why when losing money you are in the same time also music finance so from my own understanding gambling addition or addicted is the same thing with a financial loss because both of them deals with a financial loss because being addicted in gambling you continue to spend the one you have in order to make a money or become a billionaire through gambling
Gambling too often and not having the income we have, of course this will put us in financial problems, we will not be able to meet the needs we need and it will also be very difficult for us to refrain from gambling activities, if we have experienced something like this. then we have become addicted to gambling and this will be very detrimental to us because no one who has experienced a gambling addiction can have a lot of wealth, of course they will spend more of their money in gambling and it is not certain that they will be able to win every bet they play.

let us put it this way, we all know that gambling can easily liquidate your funds. so at the very beginning, you already know the repercussions of what you are getting into.  so before you plunge yourself to this addictive activity, why not contemplate on yourself and be prepared for something you think will likely happen if you continue on exploring your chances in the gambling world?

Negative impression on children/ dependents: His addiction can corrupt the good intentions of the younger generation looking up to him for inspiration, they may grow up to see gambling as a way of life and follow the wrong footprints.

Gambler is not making his life difficult but all other people related with him will taste the bad effects of his gambling. People now a days is following those individuals who are earning lots of money so nobody knows about the reality of gambling because gamblers himself share good points about gambling so it will put bad impacts on society too.

Younger generation can easily be attracted towards such bad activities because they don't have active, sharp and mature mind therefore gambler will surely effects younger generations. it is reality that people follow wrong people more often than right ones due to the fact that wrong deeds effects them more and are easy to choose whereas right deeds needs hard work which nobody wants to accept and they surely will regret in future.

believe it or not, kids of gambling addict are also the ones suffering much in this situation. because they can directly experience the impact of this habit to their everyday lifestyle. just for an instance, the money for their food or for their everyday living - if their father's gambling habit uses this particular money, then how can they eat decently? how they can get good education? are you gonna sacrifice your kids's well-being and future because of your selfish desires? this is for you to contemplate on yourself and decide where you want to go in life. do remember, how important to you is your kids? ask this question over and over again so maybe, you will wake up to the reality of your situation.

True, gambling addiction does not only incur financial loss but also social losses.  Friends and relatives will keep their distance from a person who is addicted to gambling.  They will try to avoid these gambling addicts because they don't want to be pestered for borrowing money.  Aside from that being a gambling addict may result in lost credibility and being irresponsible.  So gambling addicts may also loss their family affection and eventually the partner may file a divorce or ask for separation if the partner wants to avoid the responsibility of taking care of the gambling addict.

These are the few possible losses a gambling addict may experience aside from money and losing jobs.
They will not want to approach someone who is addicted to gambling because they are worried that they will fall into gambling. But those who can control themselves well might approach someone who is addicted to gambling in an effort to make their friend aware of his gambling addiction and take him to a professional so he can cure his gambling addiction. This will depend on their concern as friends and their families must also be able to approach family members who are addicted to gambling so that they can cure their gambling addiction. Becoming a gambling addict will indeed make them lose responsibility towards themselves and the people around them, so they don't care about the presence of their family or friends anymore because they only care about their gambling activities.
So, if you simply approach someone who is addicted to gambling, there's a possibility for you to also do gambling? I don't believe that merely approaching an addicted gambler will put you in the same situation as them. It's more about how a person takes action and communicates with the gambler to make them understand their current situation. This is typically done by people who are trusted by the gambler.

If the gambler is currently at the stages of those situations mentioned by OP, they are now at a critical level.

At this stage, a gambler can't think of a good thing anymore as their mind is now corrupted.

They need immediate help as they can't help themselves anymore. If found a person like that in your community, don't hesitate to give their family advice to now seek help from any gambling-related rehabilitation centers. It's ASAP before anything much worse happens.

health Challenges: A gambling addict is always under pressure and tension and as such is prone to health challenges like high blood pressure, depression, and on the part of his people, they might be suffering from the psychological implications of his lifestyle which includes social stigma.


Gambling really has a serious psychological effect. The impressive rewards make people think that gambling would change their lives if they win. As we can see, a lot of poor and middle-class people are into gambling and looking for luck. The penetration to our mind is very strong which even sends us into addiction.

If we can't manage to control our gambling habits, the more possibility that it destroys our minds.
And it was not just giving health problems but also financial. Many people get into huge debts and even commit crimes because of addiction problems which I don't think we need to be in that situation before we realize that this is too much.

A lot of these things and you haven't mentioned anything about gambling being a massive gateway for other types of addiction to manifest itself upon the user. Especially evident amongst people who gamble on casinos, you'd see chronic gamblers eventually trying out other vices like alcohol, smoking, and sometimes even drugs cause that's the general vibe of the gambling world so to speak, and if you're not doing it it's either you're peer pressured into doing it, or you're personally pressured from tanking all those losses you took while you're revenge gambling your way into an unrecoverable financial situation.

All the more reasons to really look out for yourself when you gamble. Sometimes it's good that you go overboard let's be real here, cause even for me I oftentimes take challenges to a whole new level cause I'm not in it for the money anymore, I'm gambling for the thrill. But the fact that I know what my limits are and how I can overcome them without jeopardizing my financial situation and gambling behaviors is what would generally separate me from your regular dime a dozen gambler, and that's not just me blowing my own horn.

It's true that gambling addiction's gonna cause you more problems than you know what to deal with. But it's more important to drive the importance of actually being responsible with your gambling journey, sometimes fearmongering's not going to work.

Substance abuse as you mentioned can be a huge damage to the body, but it has no much difference to gambling. Because no form of pain or sickness is good. Be it mental or body problem the person will not stay comfortable. None of them is encouraged due to the bad behavior it causes to the gambler. On the other hand, a gambling addict may not be efficiently capable to resist chasing loss for some time. The compulsive gambling in him won't let him some few moments away from gambling. A person who is still enabled to control himself at some point in gambling is not addicted. Although such people can get addicted, if their goal is mainly about making money through gambling. That's why gamblers are asked to gamble at a minimal duration and wager smaller funds, which they can be able to lose.


The gambler who loss the money in the gambling site will lose the money and the mental peace in the gambling site.The mental peace was the important one for the gambler,because the gambler real life affect by the mental health.The peace was the important because every gambler will be collapsed on the loss of mental illness.The gambler able to control their game after the loss of their own money,because the money can be earned in the different way.But no one can able to buy the mental health or peace with the money.This was the reason many experienced gamblers were advice the gamblers to play the gambling with free money.

Playing gambling with free money cannot help the gambler achieve the satisfaction he seeks in gambling. Few players depend on wagering smaller amount of money. They could get deceived by the wins from little wagers and think if they threw in higher amount the profits would increase and become meaningful to them. Those losses begin to appear consistently, when the player highs up his bank roll. The consistent loss now develops some mental effect on the gambler, who begin to search for wins by all means. He's already experienced wins during his days of wagering smaller amounts. Gamblers have different emotional experiences, while gambling. And most times change their ideas, to match their emotions. Just to feel relaxed and cool. Regardless of whether the decision is beneficial to them or not, the person feels nice doing what's cool with him emotionally. Hence the funds have no meaning in such a condition. His behavioral change may have turned to a bigger trouble in the person's life. Which may not be changed immediately with money.

Professional help is not easy, nor it is cheap. I have looked for a psychological help about couple months ago, because of totally unrelated to gambling reasons, and it was quite expensive. You would have to pay 30 dollars per session, and while that sounds like not a lot in some nations, it is definitely a lot in my nation, that would mean you would have to pay 60 to 120 dollars a month, just to talk with a professional, that's like 10% of my salary right there, I do not think that I can afford to do that.

This is why there are a lot of people who do not go to professionals for help and instead use that money to gamble and call that their therapy. I believe that we are going to all need that help eventually one way or another.
I don't know where you're from, but I believe the majority of countries offer free public assistance in such cases of addiction or mental health issues. Despite that, $30 per session is not too much if you take into account how much you're likely to end up losing due to being addicted. You could still do a couple of sessions per month; they're certainly beneficial for your well-being and your mental health. How can you afford to gamble but not afford to do something for yourself since you're realizing that you require professional assistance?
