<...> Gambling addiction greatly contributes to drug and alcohol abuse and theft. <...>


are you sure this is causation and not correlation?

what if persons that are more inclined to gambling addiction are also more inclined to alcohol, tobacco or other drugs addiction too?

I'm not a neuroscientist but I could guess that both disturbs are related to neurotransmitters and possible imbalances.

Yes there are good things like entertainment for yourself or easing the stress inside you thats why you do look for something which would make you enjoy
but of course losing money is part and this isnt fun and its a stressing thing instead.
Become stress is likely to happen for a person expecting too much for winning. While for a person just enjoy gambling for entertainment, I believe he can minimize the stress once losing because he has no serious goal to win. One thing to remind that you must limit the amount of money to gamble. If you only spend a little money, you easily forget it. But if you spend a lot of money, you may have difficulties to admit it.
It will come down to their reasons why they are gambling Cheesy.

Gamblers who are gambling because of money will definitely feel more stress, more regret and more disappointment than the gamblers who are out there just to release their stress after work or just there because they want to get pleasure. The money that will be used will depend on the user. If he just want to gamble for fun then a small amount will be fine already while the ones who are gambling for either money and losses will use more money. More money to use in gambling = more negative emotions to when you lose it.

I somehow agree to the concept of losing huge money feeds more stress, otherwise little amount won't even bother your thoughts. But I still see that the stress origin depends on how someone handles it. Have you ever heard the story of Dave Mustaine, and Pete Best? I could somehow relate it here. So here's the quick story between those two Dave got kicked out of a band which is now the Metallica despite of it he worked hard to become popular as well, he did managed it but he still feel down, and failure (stress) despite getting millions of album sold simply because his former band counts more album sold than his. While, Pete Best despite getting kicked out of his band which is The Beatles, he didn't bother to feel down, failure (stressed) at all as he manage it quite more well than Dave though he loses the opportunity to be popular and wealthy as his former band. Here's the catch, it is not about the amount of money you spent with and loss, stress may come out of nowhere, and in the end it is still up to you on how you'll manage to cope up with it. After all, money is just a material nothing more, nothing less.

A person addicted to the gambling needs to follow directions from a Specialist to get out of their addictions.
This is the best thing to do if you cant control yourself anymore and you're having a hard time to stop even you're willing to do it. Any form of addiction is not good and has an impact to our mind and health thus its better to seek for professional help to totally overcome it.

As for all things in life, self-control is the best way to achieve well-being.
And crypto could be useful to anyone who learns how to make good use of self-control.
Well crypto can be use as tool to gamble online, it has an advantage for gamblers especially now most places are in lockdown so if you want to continue playing by using crypto it is possible. But you're right self control is a must to avoid having problem afterwards.

I do agree with some of the things stated in the abstract of this paper and through a quick skim through of everything, but I actually don't do any drugs at the moment (besides coffee if you count that, lol), and I'm also not an alcoholic, though I might get a drink every one or two weeks if I'm going out with friends.

The alcohol, drugs, gambling are relevance only in making people addicted about it. They're both treated as an addiction but in relation with crypto, I don't see any closeness because it is depends on the person. I believe that being addicted to something is a choice not a mistake. For me, I drink alcohol occasionally and I don't do drugs because I'm knowledgeable about the bad effects of it in my health.

I certainly do agree that those especially under 18 should not be allowed to gamble whatsoever, though a lot of countries like the United States do this already.

Gambling is for people who are stressed enough in their work or other things because gambling really can relieve your stress while playing. Some people below 18 yrs. old are not that stress enough because the only thing they are stressed about is their studies and gambling is not the solution for that problem. There are a lot of things for a minor to do, they shouldn't engage in gambling but to explore and enjoy other things.

Crypto and especially crypto trading can be as risky if not exactly as risky if you don't know what you're doing or if you get too cocky. I would not say cryptocurrencies are a solution to gambling addicts since things like leveraged trading exist, but I could see how it might help a select number of people.

That's why this forum is very essential for those who are not knowledgeable enough, so that they can get some idea about crypto trading to avoid being cocky. I think cryptocurrency makes people greedy because they are worrying about their money, that also result from continuously playing and that is considered as addiction. Trading is very different from gambling that's why.

 as we are not going to an entertainment show here like in a movie house where we have to pay to entertain ourselves,
Nope this is the problem why many people in Gambling becomes addicted because of this belief mate.

In gambling we must treat as a Happy place in which we are spending money to be entertained not not totally to win,we are only having a Bonus if we got a winning but in reality it is not mate.

Spend what you can afford to lose, and it's also right to use the word risk money rather than spend money as we are not going to an entertainment show here like in a movie house where we have to pay to entertain ourselves, here in gambling, we only risk money and there is a chance that we can win and that will give us the real entertainment, though sometimes we lose but we just have to accept it and be a man, always stick to the limit which is the amount that we can afford to lose.
Well said, if there is no risk management gambling for fun can leave unhealthy traces behind the daily lifestyle. The stress and the eyestrain which can cause a headache if the gambler spends the hours in front of the monitor, all the negativity will explode one day. Risking money for fun can be addictive and everyone is supposed to take control on their hands if the consequences are heartbreaking. Having a proper money management plan is good in such cases, no matter what.
It is really a bad thing if there is no risk management especially for those gamblers. The gamblers who often to lose are the ones who just betting, rolling and playing without considering the risks, their psychology and also they do not have enough plan how they will exit when they play. It became a bad habit and that is why they continue to lose money. Controlling our emotions can help us to do better decisions.

You say controlling our emotions can help us make better decisions with which I agree.The problem is that the majority of people in general and not only gamblers most of the time cannot control their emotions and this is one of the most things one can do,to have self control.Since gamblers are normal persons like anyone else they fall victim of their emotions and this are translated slowly over time in health problems.Two of the most common symptoms are insomnia and anxiety.

There are positive and negative impacts of gambling to everyone, well that is what life is, there is always good and bad side. Even though the best things we know also have its negative side. As well as the gambling, gambling has so many positive sides, some other people considered it as their source of income especially those pro who always win with the specific gambling.
Gambling also makes people avoid other worst vices such as drugs and smokes, some people forget to do that because they are only focused on gambling.
But those positive sides overcome by its negative sides because it is heavier than good sides, the worst thing that you may have in gambling is that, your life can be destoyed if you get so addicted on it.

Things have indeed good and the bad side but negative outweighs the positive side just like what most people been telling here.
Yes there are good things like entertainment for yourself or easing the stress inside you thats why you do look for something which would make you enjoy

Health symptoms would only comes after when you do deal too much with gambling where you do already come to a point where you
drink too much or even involved on other vices and these are present most likely on a physical casino.

Generally people with gambling addiction may face depression, migraine, distress, intestinal disorders, and other anxiety-related problems. As with other addictions, the consequences of gambling can lead to feelings of despondency and helplessness. This is a disease which opens gate for other diseases.
But, this is only for those who are into problem gambling otherwise someone who is gambling for fun would never have any such issues since they know they are not into gambling for fun and making only loss that they could afford.

Problem is for those who are looking to earn from gambling and after they actually loose money they feel like they can get back their losses and start digging a hole for themselves which gets much more deep every time you try to fill it and once you are trapped into it then you start becoming drug addict to handle the financial pressure which puts the final nail in the coffin.

The answer is already in your question. As you yourself said, there are people who are addicted, while addictions can be of various kinds; they all remain addictions.
So addicted to gambling addiction, a person has fun taking alcohol and stuff, which naturally creates a number of addictions that always work with 100% probability when he gets into the environment where they were created.

I love that article because of the fact that it underlines the fact that adolescents are actually in more trouble than mature people and this is getting out of control in no time, to be honest crypto has fueled it and while I am not blaming bitcoins but it has been a major factor because of the anonymous gambling that it makes possible.

I was at primedice a few months ago and someone sent me a friend request and then he he messaged me his story which I will briefly round up as "He was in 9th standard lost all his pocket money, took some money from his parents and busted it" he asked me for tip and while he might be a scammer but nonetheless this problem is for real. I helped him a bit and hopefully he does well not, but really adolescents are being a big part of crypto gambling.

Strange, when gambling has so many side effects with it, why people still even play gambling. As per your words, it look like gambling is more dangerous than coronavirus.
I am happy that you did not say that gambling addiction may face coronavirus too  Cheesy
Not strange but it is common already for most gamblers.

Even though they know and experienced the negative side effects of it, they still choose to gamble. There are some reasons why they keep on doing this.
-They might be enjoying when they are gambling and even thought they lost as long as they got the pleasure they want, it is still ok for them.
-Got addicted into it. I can say that it is like getting addicted in playing games. I have experienced getting addicted to playing games too and I felt that my body wants to play most of the time and my day will not be completed without playing. Same with addicted gamblers. The day is not complete for them if they didn't gamble.

They might face covid too if they choose to go out to find an open casino in their place Cheesy.

Gambling in itself isn't wrong nor bad tbh, it's just seen as one. Not to mention the atmosphere when one talks about gambling, even talking about it already brings about a negative view which realllyyy puts gambling in a bad/tough spot.
Look gambling is considered negative because there is no benefit anyone can gain but rather only negative effects are there like loss, frustration and drugs.

While you made a valid point that drugs and other addictions actually lead to gambling for most people but the vice versa is not completely wrong either because there are people who loose a lot of money and then take loans, loose everything they possibly could and then start getting in depression and there the drugs and addiction starts for alcohol and such.

On a positive side though online gambling is not as dangerous because there is no physical presence in the casino and hence there is no peer pressure because I had a friend who gambled way too much just because people around him in the casino (physical) were not stopping.

Gambling per say is not dangerous it is upto people how they take it . Like I play for enjoyment and only at certain times so I am on my limits due to this discipline . But for people who want to just make money or consider this as a matter net making machine may get in trouble with many things and addiction is just one of them . It has many side effects and it become dangerous .

In this time of quarantine, due to the threat of Covid19, abstinence could help these people. Because it will give them time to make changes in their way of thinking and acting, as well as changes in their styles and life patterns.
As for all things in life, self-control is the best way to achieve well-being.
And crypto could be useful to anyone who learns how to make good use of self-control.
